Guided Meditations for waking up in the mornings

Hi all - do you know of any good (guided) meditations for waking up in the morning / starting the day?

There's so many for helping you fall asleep at night, but so few for waking up to a positive start to the day.

I found this one on youtube - it's a bit strange in places, but by far the best one I've found so far, specifically for "waking up and starting the day":

I'd be hugely grateful for any tips - especially for ones from our more "trusted mindfulness teachers" like Jack Kornfield, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Tara Brach, Mark Williams, etc, etc...

There's one done by meditation oasis here called Morning Energy Guided Meditation:

I've never tried this one, but I've also never come across a meditation by Meditation Oasis that I didn't like. I find most of the ones I have done are all essentially mindfulness, but they encourage you to explore different things in different ways.

Hey Cheesus,
Thanks for the link! :-)
It *is* a good morning meditation - but I'm not sure it's *quite* what I'm looking for. I will make sure to bookmark the site for future reference tho.

I really like the one I found on youtube - I dunno who this Caroline Myss lady is - she sounds a bit whacky from the titles of the other youtube videos of her (hope I'm not offending any Caroline Myss fans - or infact Caroline Myss herself - sorry!!) - but apart from the odd esoteric aura she has ;) I really like the way she goes into the concepts of starting a new day, what people are you likely to meet, what activities will you be doing, how to approach them - and tho I'm not a huge fan of chakras, I do like the ideas that she connects to the different chakras - they are cool things to ponder at the beginning of a new day...
