Webinar Recording: The Art of Creating a Sacred Morning Space

In this webinar, we talk about how we normally rush through our morning routines, and how to make a lovely ritual instead, and then deepen it by making it a sacred space to practice.

I’ve broken this webinar recording into two parts:

1. Part I – My Talk: I share how we can elevate the morning space into something sacred, not just ordinary. (See notes)
2. Part II – Questions & Answers: I answered questions about being groggy in the morning, rushing through everything, chronic health challenges and more.

Part I: Leo’s Talk (with notes)

Here are the notes from my talk (video is below the notes):

When we set out to do our morning routines, we often have a nice idea about what it might be. But the reality is often different: we’re groggy, we kind of slump through doing the tasks, or even if we’re not groggy maybe we rush through them to get to the things we have to do that day. It’s not special, but just another task to get through.

This is a symptom of how we do everything in our day — rushing through things, just wanting to get through them.

What if we elevated this to something beyond the ordinary?

Some ways to bring sacredness to our morning space:

1. Recognize this space something to be appreciated
2. Create space, and don’t cram it full of things
3. Be meticulous about the space
4. Set Intention & be deliberate
5. Focus on appreciation
6. Don’t rush to finish

Listen to the talk on the video for more details on these items.

This kind of devotion increases the depth of the practice.

Part II: Questions and Answers

In this 2nd part of the webinar, I answered some great questions about:

• How to feel devotion to this morning time when we have that groggy morning feeling? Does that make sense? Some mornings are physically a little tough.
• Your desire to influence a million people…. Does the size of this project feel difficult to maintain your personal vision?
• I rush through everything. The trick for me initially will be HOW to STOP all the rushing. I’m sure I’ll get more things done if I can just stop rushing and multi-tasking.
• What does meticulousness can look like for people with chronic health challenges?
• For morning habits should you pick one that’s a non negotiable? Since I’ve added journalling, I’ve ended up writing for longer than planned then not having time for the other habits!
