Our bodies are influenced and formed by everything we do.
That includes our environment,
The food we eat,
Our movement,
And also our intentions.
In this meditation,
We'll set powerful intentions for greater health and happiness in all areas of life.
Allow yourself to relax.
Let your eyes softly close and take a few deep,
Full breaths.
Every intention you have,
From the intention to get physically stronger,
To the intention to lead a more peaceful life.
Is a signal to your mind-body system to realign.
Intentions have the power to shape who you are.
They're the programming language influencing the expression of mind and body.
With this in mind,
We'll now consciously set new intentions for our lives.
Let's begin.
Our first intention is.
.
.
I love the body I have.
Repeat it silently to yourself.
I love the body I have.
Feel appreciation,
Gratitude,
And openness towards the body you have.
Regardless of its condition.
By this very acceptance of the body as it is,
Your body starts to change.
It shifts away from disturbance and towards healing.
Our second intention is.
.
.
I love the mind I have.
Repeat it silently to yourself.
I love the mind I have.
Allow any judgment around the mind to fall away.
Feel the openness and allowance.
That simply lets the mind be.
Our third intention is.
.
.
I love and welcome all parts of myself.
Repeat it silently to yourself.
I love and welcome all parts of myself.
This intention sends a signal deep within.
That no matter what has happened in the past,
You accept and love all parts of who you are.
There are no parts that need to be hidden.
Every part deserves love.
And this being love.
Our fourth intention is.
.
.
I am safe.
Repeat it silently to yourself.
I am safe.
As you welcome and love all of yourself.
A sense of vulnerability can emerge.
Stay with the vulnerability.
Notice the aspect of you that is aware of this vulnerability.
This part of you that is always safe,
Always capable.
Always here.
Rest in knowing you are safe.
And that you can always take necessary actions to keep yourself safe.
These first four intentions set the stage for our next set of intentions because they bring the body-mind system into a state of rest,
Receptivity,
And creativity.
Let's keep going.
Our fifth intention is.
My body knows how to heal.
Repeat it silently to yourself.
My body knows how to heal.
Recognize the intelligence that functions in your body.
As the processes of breathing,
Digesting,
Your heart beating.
All the processes that function perfectly without any conscious thought on your part.
Feel this intelligence acting within you,
Taking the necessary steps for healing.
Visualize any area of the body that needs healing,
Beginning to reorganize and assume a healthy form.
Now let's move on to our sixth intention.
I know which choices serve me and which do not serve me.
Repeat it silently to yourself.
I know which choices serve me and which do not serve me.
Acknowledge the intelligence that guides you in making the best choices in every area of your life.
Feel that the answers or a way of getting the answers are within you.
You intuitively know which food nourishes you.
Which relationships support you?
Which daily habits sustain you.
You have the ability to see when something is right and the ability to sense when it doesn't feel right.
Our seventh intention is.
.
.
I have the courage to make the best decisions for myself.
Repeat it silently to yourself.
I have the courage to make the best decisions for myself.
Just as you can see the right steps to take.
You also have the courage to carry out that step.
Feel the courage welling up in your abdomen and chest.
Your actions are aligning with your intuition and thoughts.
And finally,
Our eighth intention is.
.
.
I can thrive no matter what comes my way.
Repeat it silently to yourself.
I can thrive no matter what comes my way.
When you take the steps that are right for you,
New circumstances may present themselves.
You have the ability to not only survive these new experiences,
But to thrive among them.
Your vision and creativity are with you.
As you navigate whatever shows up.
Feel the power of these intentions within you.
Feel the seeds of intention being nourished deep within yourself.
Take a few deep breaths and stay with this feeling for the next couple of minutes.
Take a few deeper breaths.
Begin to move your hands.
Your feet.
And when you're ready.
You can open your eyes.
As you go through your day,
Know that the seeds of your intention will begin to sprout.
They may present themselves as subtle intentions.
When you detect them.
Give them attention.
Allow them to shape your mind,
Body,
And soul.
And experiences.
Namaste.
