In the light of morning....

Kym awoke from a dream where upon waking its meaning became apparent immediately, you know when you are in that lucid state? It was 5.55am. She lay in bed listening to her husband's gentle breathing, a relief from his usual snoring, and enjoyed the sounds and light of the early morning as it dawned on this brand new day.

She carefully got out of bed, so as not to wake her husband, not for his needs but for her own selfish needs; she wanted to meditate, which she normally does in their bedroom, but because he was still sleeping she was going to do it in her other spot in her favourite room near the kitchen. She put on her Peter Alexander PJs with bright love harts all over them and gathered her meditation pillows, diary, her two books 'Simple Abundance' and 'Three Magic Words' and carefully opened her bedside drawer to retrieve her iPod.

Kym loves to meditate in her favourite room in the house. The morning light is just right and her position under the window allows her to look out into the garden as she prepares herself for meditating, and her cat Munchy Moo always comes to lay next to her as the meditation progresses (Munchy Moo is a neurotic animal and the meditation soothes her). Deepak Chopra's Healing Affirmations was this morning's choice.

After her meditation, and feeling very relaxed and centred, Kym read a meditation from 'Three Magic Words' to complete the process. Time for a cup of tea! As she sipped her cup of tea while sitting at the kitchen table, Kym gazed out of her kitchen window at the back garden. She loves how each morning's different light creates variations in texture and perspective.

As she read today's 'Simple Abundance' message she realised that since reducing the number of work days in the office from 5 to 3 her physical, mental and emotional well being had significantly improved, even in the short time of two weeks. This is how life is meant to be; doing what makes you feel joy and bliss. Kym feels much more grounded, relaxed and centred, just like she did 2 years ago and it is a wonderful state to be in.
