“Sunrise Breath Meditation
A Practice to Deepen the Experience: Sunrise Breath Meditation
To help you fully absorb not just the light, but the peace and energy that comes with greeting each new day intentionally….. Use it while watching the sunrise, or even just facing east during your morning routine:
Sunrise Breath Meditation
Find a comfortable position facing the rising sun. Begin with natural breathing, then move into this gentle rhythm:
Inhale (4 counts): Light enters my eyes
Hold (2 counts): My body receives the day
Exhale (6 counts): I release the night
Inhale (4 counts): Energy fills my cells
Hold (2 counts): Mitochondria awaken
Exhale (6 counts): Fatigue flows away
Inhale (4 counts): Serotonin lifts my mind
Hold (2 counts): Joy expands within
Exhale (6 counts): Doubt and fear dissolve
Inhale (4 counts): The sun warms my heart
Hold (2 counts): Circulation flows free
Exhale (6 counts): Peace fills my being
Repeat for 3-5 cycles, ending with hands at heart center. Whisper: "I am light, I am life, I a here. “” Dr Vinny Leonti MD
