Hello,

My friends.

I am very happy to see you all guys here.

My name is Diana.

I am a Mind-Body Connection coach,

A psychosomatic specialist and a meditation teacher.

Let's smoothly move to our meditation.

Setting intentions for digital use.

Let's take a deep breath in and out.

Allow yourself to take a brief pause.

Find a comfortable position and allow your body to settle.

With the next exhale,

Close your eyes gently or soften your gaze.

Follow the natural breath and feel your belly rise and fall.

With each exhale,

Release any tension that you might be holding.

Connect with the feeling of being present right here,

Right now.

Notice the sensations in your body.

Allow your mind to quiet.

Allow yourself to simply be.

Ask yourself,

What is my intention for using my digital device next?

What do I truly want to explore,

Achieve,

Or connect with?

Take a moment to feel into this.

Perhaps it is for work,

Connection with loved ones,

Learning,

Or a moment of mindful entertainment.

Simply be honest with yourself.

Notice any feelings that arise as you consider this intention.

Is there a sense of purpose or perhaps a pull towards destruction?

Simply observe these feelings without judgment.

Now,

Also consider roughly how much time do I intend to dedicate to this specific use.

Be realistic and mindful of not only your time,

But your energy.

Let's anchor this intention.

With your next inhale,

Gently breathe in this intention,

This purpose for your digital use.

Feel it settle within you,

A clear direction.

As you exhale,

Release any sense of obligation or mindless scrolling.

Imagine a gentle anchor dropping within you,

Firmly connecting you to this intention and the time frame you've set.

This anchor will help you stay focused and intentional once you engage with your device.

Take one more gentle breath,

Holding onto this sense of intention and grounded presence.

When you're ready,

Slowly begin to bring your awareness back to this room.

Add in some movement into your body.

And when you will reach for your device,

Remember this brief moment of connection and purpose.

May your digital engagement be intentional and supportive of your well-being.

When you feel ready,

Gently open your eyes and carry this mindful pause and clear intention with you.
