Text from the series “Holistic Healing Chronicles: Nourishing Your Body, Mind, and Soul for Lasting Wellness” by Nisarga Eryk Dobosz.
Greetings to all fellow seekers of healing and self-discovery!
In the grand symphony of life, the morning serves as the overture, setting the tone for the rest of the day. For me, the key to this harmonious start lies in a dedicated morning ritual – a sacred time that opens up my body, mind, and spirit, aligning them with the vision I hold for a brighter tomorrow. This daily practice is not just a routine; it’s a commitment to expand my work, thrive in relationships, grow, and inspire, all while staying true to principles of respect and integrity.
The first note in this melodic journey begins with an early wakeup call at 5:30am, so I rise with the sun. This quiet, untouched time is when I connect with myself through meditation. I take a moment to align with my breath, creating a space for reflection on the day ahead. During this tranquil meditation, I focus on what I want to attract – the experiences, contributions, connections, and growth that align with my truth.
The second movement of this symphony involves asking myself seven essential questions for the day ahead. What am I most happy, and most proud of? What am I grateful for, enjoying, and committed to at this moment? Who do I love, and who loves me? These questions serve as a compass, guiding me towards intentional living. I take about 10 minutes to journal and respond, setting my mind and body on a positive trajectory for the day.
The third stage is dedicated to physical well-being. A 60-minute walk and run in the forest, followed by 20 minutes of intentional breathing exercises, to energize every cell of my body. This workout routine isn’t just about fitness; it’s about training my DNA for vitality and enthusiasm, setting the stage for a day (and life) filled with joy.
The fourth movement is a 5-minute cold shower – a life-giving jolt of freshness that awakens all of my senses. This feeling of aliveness propels me into my day.
The final chord of this morning ritual is a nourishing breakfast, a symphony of flavors that fuels my body for the joys and challenges that lie ahead. Typically, a bowl of vegan porridge with fruits and nuts serves as the perfect start to my day.
This harmonic routine prepares me for whatever the day may bring – be it teaching groups, managing a busy schedule, learning new modalities, or simply bringing joy to my family. It provides fulfillment, peace of mind, and keeps my body in shape. I firmly believe that we are the creators of our reality, and by starting the day with intention and purpose, we inspire ourselves and others.
In conclusion, I encourage everyone to compose their own morning ritual, to wake up with purpose, joy, and happiness. Falling in love with life becomes a natural consequence of this daily symphony. Try it out, and let the melody of your morning set the tone for a brighter tomorrow.
With heartfelt compassion and dedication,
