Morning Invocation

Today, I allow myself to feel pleasure.

Today, I allow myself to feel pleasure.

I don't hold back.

I don't restrain myself.

I allow myself to savor the pleasure of the sheets on my skin, of my morning tea or coffee, of a great song tickling my ears with its sounds.

I allow myself to feel the pleasure of simply being.

Hands on my skin, tongue on the roof of my mouth, breath deep and soft in my belly.

Any idea that I have that pleasure is bad or something that I should restrain or hold back from; I throw that out the window! I make it a ritual.

I let go of any idea that I don't deserve a life of pleasure.

I claim my pleasure deeply and beautifully as a sacred act every day.
