About this session
- Grounds you in the body
- Builds gratitude
- Sets a daily intention
- Awakens calm energy
Katia Kulyk guides you through a seated morning practice that begins by blurring your gaze, listening to the sounds around you and rubbing finger and thumb to arrive in the body. You then imagine sitting in an open landscape, breathing sky and earth through you, before turning attention to your heart for gratitude.
It suits anyone who wants to begin the day with presence instead of reaching for a phone or a to-do list. Use it after waking, before work or before a big task. It ends with a result you want to create and an intention for the day.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
Why does the meditation ask you to blur your eyes at the start?
After looking around the room with curiosity, you slowly let the focus in your eyes soften, as if blurring everything you see. The guide explains that when the outer world is blurred, it is easier to direct your attention inside. Later you close your eyes and go further in.
What is the finger and thumb rubbing for?
You rub your index finger and thumb together just to feel the skin. It is a simple gesture that brings your presence into the body straight away. It works as a quick anchor before the practice turns inward.
What does it mean to inhale the sky and exhale it into the earth?
You imagine sitting somewhere in nature with open space and a visible horizon in every direction, alone but not lonely. You breathe the sky into your lungs and out into the earth, then breathe the earth in and out into the sky. You are told not to question how, just to imagine it intuitively, as the body relaxes and seems to merge with its surroundings.
How does the gratitude part work?
You place your attention on your heart, notice any contraction, expansion, heat or cold, and then imagine something you are grateful for. You multiply the feeling five times and let it fill your whole body. Then you inhale the world into your heart and exhale gratitude as golden light, forming a golden bubble of love that spreads to your city, country and the planet.
What happens in the final part of the practice?
You picture one result you want to create today and feel how it will be to have finished it. You multiply that feeling five times and live it as if already real, letting it stay with you through the day. Then, from a relaxed body, you ask what your intention is, how you want to feel, and what you want to do or create.
