What is grand rising?

"Grand rising" is a phrase often used as an alternative to "good morning," particularly among individuals who emphasize positivity, mindfulness, and a holistic lifestyle. The phrase is thought to focus on the act of rising from sleep and beginning a new day with a sense of grandeur and purpose. The intention behind using "grand rising" instead of "good morning" is to center on the action of starting a new day rather than mourning (a homophone with 'morning') the night that has passed.

People who use this greeting might do so as part of a broader practice that includes positive affirmations and rituals aimed at enhancing mindfulness and well-being. The phrase is sometimes associated with communities focused on self-development, spirituality, and empowerment, who believe that language can influence one’s mindset and, consequently, their experiences throughout the day.
