About this session
- Starts mornings gently
- Releases heavy feelings
- Sets a clear intention
- Opens the heart
Sonia Choquette guides you through a slow wake-up, either seated or still in bed. You stretch, then breathe out as if blowing out candles, belly drawn toward your spine. Next you drop your attention into the center of your heart and picture the day ahead unfolding like a beautiful dream.
It suits anyone who tends to rush from the alarm straight into the to-do list. Use it first thing, before your phone or your plans. It also works as a quiet evening rehearsal if you'd like to picture tomorrow before sleep.

Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
Why do you exhale like blowing out candles?
Sonia asks you to breathe in through the nose and exhale as though blowing out candles while pulling your belly toward your spine. It's a way to empty yourself fully, releasing what she calls the clouds of sleep and any lingering heaviness, so you can begin the day feeling new and receptive.
What does breathing from the center of your heart mean here?
After the opening breaths, you shift your attention from your head down into the middle of your heart and breathe in and out from there. The aim is to feel peaceful, centered and grounded in your body, and to meet the day with an open heart and mind.
What kinds of things do I let go of on the exhale?
The exhales release specific things in turn: beliefs and old habits that don't serve you, like dark pollution lifting off a bright light, then heavy emotions such as disappointment, fear, irritation and anxiety. Later you also release anything that would disturb your health and vitality.
How do I choose an intention during the meditation?
Sonia asks what you most want to focus on today. She offers examples: a creative project, something in your relationships, something new and beautiful, or a collaboration with others. Then you listen to your spirit, set the intention on an inhale, and breathe as you picture the day unfolding like the most beautiful dream you've ever had.
What does it mean to let your higher self lead the day?
You ask for help, inspiration and direction, and invite your divine higher self to guide your mind, heart and body. The image is of your higher self as leader, with your thoughts, emotions and body following happily. You can take that as inner wisdom or intuition.
Can I do this lying down in bed?
Yes, the opening invites you to sit in a supported chair with feet on the ground, or stay in bed if you prefer. Either way you first stretch and wiggle your neck, shoulders, waist and legs, and the session ends with no rush to open your eyes.
