Morning Calm - The Hour That Holds You Lightly

There is an hour, somewhere near the start of your morning, that does not yet ask anything of you. It rests beside you the way an old friend rests in a chair across the room — simply being near. Join James Ookafor for a slow, generous ten minutes to settle into the beginning of your day without rushing.This is permission. Permission to begin slowly. Permission to let the morning be morning before it becomes your day. Permission to rise the way the sun rises — softly, by degrees, with the sky changing behind you without your effort.Across these ten minutes we will notice the light, the breath, the weight of the body resting somewhere, and the small sounds beneath the morning. We will let the day wait. We will let the hour that holds you lightly do its quiet work.Chapters:0:00 — The Hour Before the Day Asks1:25 — A Pause That Doesn't Ask2:45 — You Are Allowed to Be Slow4:30 — The Sound Beneath the Morning6:10 — Thank You, Morning7:30 — A Soft BeginningWhether this is your first breath of the day or a quiet moment you have carved out before the world begins to want things from you — you are welcome to arrive as you are.Notice the light.
