Morning Intention Setting

Mornings are opportunities to plant seeds and set intentions for our day. While remaining flexible, we can plan our day to be more present, more mindful and open to the serendipity of life. This meditation will offer ways to set the right intentions for an enjoyable day.

Transcript

Good morning and welcome to today's meditation.

My name is Di-Ann.

The morning is a time of creation and opportunity.

The opportunity to start the day with mindfulness and intent.

It is when you plant a seed in your heart and watch it grow as your day unfolds.

So you may plant,

Remain flexible to the serendipity of life.

Remember that life is an experience,

Not a performance.

So let's begin.

Find a comfortable place to sit or lie down.

Take a deep breath in and exhale.

And again,

Take a deep breath in and exhale.

Close your eyes.

Can you feel the space around your heart?

Do you feel it soft and open to new possibilities to be present and more mindful?

Do you feel it open to new ways of responding to people and unexpected events in a new way?

Do you feel it smile at the beauty and miracle that life is?

Take a deep breath in and exhale.

I am going to hand you seeds as intentions and you can plant them in the fertile soil of your heart.

Here is the first.

I will pause before I speak,

Act or react.

I will notice the small things that bring beauty and joy to my life.

I will accept the unexpected and adapt effortlessly.

I will hear the compliments I receive and thank the person who is giving it to me.

I will listen,

Really listen to others and possibly notice the hope or pain in their eyes and facial expressions.

I will take a break before I need one.

I will see all sides of an issue.

I will continue to believe in the good of people.

I will offer love,

Compassion and understanding to all even when I don't agree.

And finally,

I will be patient for the storm to pass and for the clear sky.

Take a deep breath in and exhale.

With your breath,

Water those seeds.

Take a deep breath in and exhale.

I wonder which spoke to you the most.

Remember life is full of opportunities and mornings are made to see them.

Take a deep breath in and exhale.

Remember,

Our heart can harden as the day goes on,

As we encounter frustrations and annoyances,

As we try to control every part of it and don't get the outcome that was expected.

When you feel your heart hardening,

Take a deep breath and exhale.

Continue to soften your heart.

Because once our heart is closed and solidified itself,

There is no more space.

And that's why sometimes we take it out on the people we love the most.

We become a different person than who we are deep down.

One more time,

Take a deep breath in and exhale.

Keep your heart soft and open and I wish you to have a beautiful day.

Namaste.
