What Matters Most? Connect With Heartfelt Intention

Dear Friends,
This is a short mindfulness meditation to come into presence and connect with intention. This quick practice is great for starting the day, taking a break, or anytime you’d like to pause, slow down, and contact what matters most to you.
Connecting with our hearts’ deepest felt intention, and feeling the truth of it somatically can be really helpful for improving mood and wellbeing, providing clarity, shining a light on our purpose, and supporting us in living and embodying what’s most in alignment.
First we’ll ground and center in our bodies and this moment. Then we’ll sense into the heartspace and connect with our intention for the rest of the day, our intention for meditating, and what matters most to us.
Please think of my guidance as suggestion and make any changes that would support you.
May we all embody our hearts’ deepest intentions.
With Love,
Kelsea

Hi friends, This is Kelsey with Life Alchemy, And this is a short mindfulness meditation to come into presence and connect with intention. Come into whatever position would feel best for your body right now. Maybe sitting, Standing, Or laying down. You might soften the gaze or close the eyes. And see if you can release or visualize filing off to the side for later. Whatever may have happened earlier today. And whatever may or may not come later on. Begin to arrive in this body. In this moment. In this space, In loving awareness. Noticing the sensation of the earth beneath you and all of the little contact points where you're held. And noticing the sensation of the sky above you. And the temperature and humidity of the sea of air around you. And welcome a full breath in. And a long slow breath out, Maybe sighing. And again, Breathing in. . . And letting it all out. If there is any obvious tension in the body, You might invite a softening. Maybe softening at the eyebrows and the eyes. Maybe releasing the jaw. Maybe allowing gravity to massage the shoulders downward. And maybe softening at the chest or belly. Bring the attention to the heart space now and notice sensation from the inside out. And you might connect with your intention for the rest of the day and how you'd like to show up. And you might now connect with your intention for meditating or practicing mindfulness. Maybe it's to see things more clearly. Maybe to cultivate more compassion or peace. Maybe to respond more and react less. Or maybe something else. Ask your heart. What matters most to me? And notice what this intention feels like in the body. Could you become completely enveloped in the truth of it? And as you're ready, Begin to transition however works best for you. Maybe taking a deep breath. Maybe wiggling fingers or toes. And maybe taking a stretch. Thank you so much for practicing with me. May we all embody our heart's deepest intentions.
