Why You Need A Morning Practice · Waking Up With Ryan

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: You found your way here to waking up with Ryan.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad that you pushed play. This is the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: place you and I come to wake up together. So
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: let's take a deep breath and begin. Good morning, my love.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I want to talk with you this morning about how
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: vital it is that you have a morning practice every day,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: because if you don't, you are saying to the ego
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: without realizing it, You're saying to the ego that you're
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: totally okay with it being in charge of your thoughts
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the day. That's what's sneaky about this.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Is what I want you to know is that the
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: ego is the default mode. So you have to have
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: a practice to interrupt the way that the ego jumps
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: in to inform your thoughts from the moment you wake
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: up in the morning. It's trying, it's trying to work
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: its right, its way right in to be in charge
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: of your thoughts as soon as you wake up. Now,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: let's establish what is the ego. The best definition I've
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: heard for the ego is that the ego is a belief.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Is not a thing, It's a belief. It's a thought
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: that says that you are separate. The ego is the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: belief that you are separate, That you are this body,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: separate from the rest of the world, separate from the earth,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: separate from others, and certainly separate from God, from the Divine,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: from the universe that put you here. And from that ego,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: from that singular belief that you are separate, is born
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: an entire world of fear, like a book in a
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: library that you could read forever and ever and never
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: reach the end of it. And one of the things
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: that's so sly and sneaky about the ego is that
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: it sets God for you with the idea that if
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: you accomplish those goals, then you'll feel the peace and
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the happiness that you want. But the ego is always
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: setting these goals knowing that it's never going to actually
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: give you what you want, because what you want is
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: what you already are. What you want, that piece, that joy,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: that support is what you are. It's not something to
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: make or create or seek even it's what you already are.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: And so the ego is always trying to get you
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to leave yourself to find yourself, as opposed to recognizing
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: that who you are right here, right now is already perfect,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: whole and enough and beautiful and sacred. This is why
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: we have to have a morning practice, because with it,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the ego jumps in. With the morning practice, we can
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: set ourselves up for success, to remember who we are
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and spend time there so that we have a fighting
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: chance of bringing that self awareness, that love, that space,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: that miraculous energy that can move with you and tell
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you where to go and what to do and what
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: to say and what to create, and can bring opportunities
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and people into your life. This is real if you
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: let it, but the ego will cut you off from that.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And so this time in the morning gives us the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: spaciousness to connect with truth, with what birthed you here
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and breathes you here and feeds you here and sustains
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you here and loves you here no matter what. And
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: we need to connect to that when we first wake
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: up in the morning, because if we don't, the day
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: is gonna go and the ego will be in charge
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of our thoughts for the rest of the day. And so,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: if you want to remember who you are, which I
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: know you do, because you wouldn't be listening to waking
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: up with Ryan if not. So, since you're on this
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: journey just like I am, to remember who you truly are.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Why don't we have a practice together to set ourselves
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: up for success before we go out into the world today.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: So if you can invite you to close your eyes
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and take a deep breath and let it go, and
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: even just for a moment, find gratitude for the breath
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: that you just took, recognizing that we spend many hours
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of many days taking for granted every breath we take,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: forgetting that this breath is a miracle that you don't
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: even have to understand. That the earth is growing trees
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: because of the sun in the sky, because of the
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: water and soil of this earth, and that tree is
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: inhaling carbon dioxide and exhaling oxygen so that you can
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: inhale that oxygen, and that that oxygen has a way
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: of feeding you, feeding your brain, filling your lungs. Without
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that oxygen, your body couldn't exist, couldn't live. And meanwhile,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the body just breathes. You don't even have to think
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: about it. So here can you recognize the miracle that
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: is this sustenance that comes from breath. Let's take a
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: breath and let it go, feeling the weight of your
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: body being held by the earth underneath you, a foundation
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: of support underneath you, an entire planet holding you up.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: You can literally relax your entire body's weight into the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: support underneath you, and with ease it holds you here
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: and now, finding the gratitude for that, and taking a
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: deep breath, recognizing as you exhale that this entire world
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: is holding you up, supporting you as if it's saying
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to you, I've got you here and now, no matter
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: what you're going through, no matter how difficult you are held.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Knowing this, relax the weight of your body even more
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: into the support underneath you. And lastly, we simply express
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: our willingness to this incredibly brilliant universe to guide us today.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: And we do so by asking a few questions, and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I invite you to repeat these questions after me, and
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: repeating after me, asking this universe these questions. Where would
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: you have me go, what would you have me do?
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: What would you have me say? And to whom let's
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: take a deep breath and let it go, Recognizing that
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: you have now invited this brilliant universe to be involved
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: in your life today, to use you, to use your
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: hands and use your feet to use your voice to
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: tap you on the shoulder when you're tempted to detour
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: into fear today and help you to remember who you are,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Trusting that now that you have invited this brilliant universe
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: into your mind and into your heart, that it will
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: be with you as you walk the path of your life. Today,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: we close by saying to this create of energy in life,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: thank you. Say that with me. Thank you, Thank you,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Take a deep breath and allow your eyes
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: to open as you exhale. Now now that you remember
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: even just a little more who you are and who
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: walks with you here. Now go into your life and
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: bring with you the light that you've found here, because
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I promise you the world needs it. Loving you from here, Hi,
