By Jacob Watson,
Morning Blessing Gifts awaken, stimulate and deepen meditation and spiritual practice. In the tradition of Robert Frost and Wendell Berry, poetic images and personal experiences of New England nature, the birds, animals, woods, and beaches of coastal Maine, awakens listeners to begin their day nurtured and encouraged to be themselves, joined with like-minded souls. This meditation provides a friendly, comforting and accessible way to wake up and affirm the whole self. Each blessing has seven brief paragraphs that offer a welcome to the day, a silent meditation, affirmations of body, heart and soul, a blessing and a gift for each day. Begins and ends with a ring of a singing bowl.
