Welcome to your guided meditation.
As I record this,
It is the beginning of February.
A month has already passed in the new year.
By now,
The energy of the new year may feel different from when you first set your goals and intentions.
The excitement of January may have softened,
And the pull of daily life may be shifting your focus elsewhere.
But no matter when you're listening to this,
Know that this moment is the perfect time to pause,
Reflect,
And gently realign with your vision for yourself and for your life.
Every goal,
Every intention you set is still alive within you.
Not just ideas from the past,
But seeds you are nurturing in the present.
So,
Let's take a moment to reconnect.
Not with pressure,
But with curiosity,
Patience,
And presence.
Let's remind ourselves that growth is not about perfection.
It's about returning,
Again and again,
To what truly matters.
Now,
Find a comfortable position,
With your spine straight,
But not stiff,
Hands resting where they're most comfortable.
Gently soften your gaze,
Or flutter your eyes closed.
Take a moment to connect with your breath.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in through your nose,
And slowly release through your mouth.
Again,
Slow,
Deep inhale through your nose.
Then,
Slowly exhale through your mouth.
Just feel yourself settle into your space,
And return to normal breathing.
Begin by bringing your attention to your body.
Feel the way it rests in the space,
The points of contact between your body and the surface beneath you.
Notice the natural rhythm of your breath,
Flowing in and out,
Without needing to change it with each breath.
Imagine yourself becoming more and more grounded.
Feel the weight of your body,
And the support beneath you.
There is nothing to do right now.
Nowhere else to be.
Just know this moment is enough.
Now,
Gently scan your body from head to toe.
Notice any areas of tension,
And with each exhale,
Allow them to soften.
Let your shoulders relax,
Your jaw unclench,
Your hands rest with ease.
And as you continue breathing naturally,
Bring awareness to the present moment.
The air touching your skin,
Maybe there's sounds around you,
Or just the simple sensation of being here,
Now.
Now,
Bring to mind the intention or goal you set.
It may be just something you wrote down,
Or something you feel deeply.
It could even be a word that represented your focus for the year.
And if you did not set one yet,
That's okay.
This is the opportunity to create one now.
You might choose an intention for this meditation,
Or for your day,
Or simply a guiding thought that feels right in this moment.
Without judgment,
Simply notice.
How does this intention feel in your body right now?
Does it feel bright and energized?
Or maybe a little distant?
Both are okay.
What matters is your willingness to return to it.
Now,
Visualize this intention as a glowing light within you.
Maybe it's at your heart center,
Or your belly.
Or somewhere else that feels right to you.
And see it radiating softly,
Warm and steady.
With every inhale,
Imagine this light growing stronger.
And with every exhale,
Release any doubt or frustration or pressure surrounding this goal.
Remind yourself your intention is still valid.
Your progress is enough.
Every moment is an opportunity to realign.
Now,
Repeat an affirmation to yourself,
Silently or aloud.
I am committed to my growth,
With patience and presence.
I honor my journey,
Step by step.
My intention is alive within me,
Guiding me gently forward.
Let these words settle into your heart.
There's no rush,
As the path unfolds as it should.
I am committed to my growth,
With patience and presence.
I honor my journey,
Step by step.
My intention is alive within me,
Guiding me gently forward.
As we begin to close this meditation,
Take a moment to consider what is one small action you can take today to nourish your goal.
It doesn't have to be big,
Just something that brings you one step closer.
Maybe it's a shift in mindset,
Or a moment of self-care,
Or a single act that aligns with your vision.
Trust that even the smallest actions keep the flame of your intention burning.
Now gently bring your attention back to your breath.
Feel it anchoring you in the present moment.
You are exactly where you need to be.
Just let your breath be effortless,
Flowing in and out.
Take the next few minutes in mindful silence.
Allow yourself to rest in this stillness,
Fully present with your breath.
Your body and the quiet wisdom within you.
And take one final deep breath in.
And exhale fully.
Bring your attention back to your body.
And when you are ready,
Gently wiggle your fingers and toes.
Bringing your awareness back to your surroundings.
Flutter your eyes open.
And carry this renewed sense of intention with you into the rest of your day.
And as you move on through your day,
Just know your intention does not live in the past.
It is always here,
Waiting for you to return to it with kindness and presence.
So keep showing up,
And trust that you are on your way.
Have a great day.
