Welcome.
This is a guided meditation on committing to your intentions during the first quarter moon phase.
The first quarter follows the waxing crescent moon.
The moon is halfway to full,
And our intentions have begun to come to life.
It is so easy to check out after we set our intentions and goals,
To want to let the universe take control.
But in this energy of the first quarter moon,
We have the power to deepen our manifestations even more.
Take a moment to feel your seat on your cushion or your feet on the floor.
Find a long spine that supports your head and neck.
Gently close your eyes.
Notice the support of your body.
Begin to cultivate an awareness of your own breath.
Focus on how your inhales and exhales feel.
Now direct your breath to your belly,
Your solar plexus.
Let your stomach rise and fall.
Take note of the spaces between the cycles of breath,
And allow these spaces to become longer and intentional.
As you breathe in,
Imagine you are breathing in your inner power and your commitment to your intentions,
To yourself.
And as you breathe out,
Imagine you are letting go of what stands in your way,
Your path.
Start to recall the intentions that you set into place on the new moon.
Take the time now to recommit to yourself and to see your intentions clearer.
Start big.
Imagine how it will feel when they materialize.
How settled or strong you might feel.
How good it will feel to see yourself moving towards your dreams.
Now zoom in a bit.
Start to see the steps you will take along the way.
Feel the relief you will feel after the conversations that lay ahead.
The joy after the confirmations and agreements and permission slips.
Now notice how you imagine yourself.
How you are feeling,
Speaking,
Presenting yourself.
Who you are around and where you are when you reach these milestones.
See and feel into the whole picture.
Acknowledge that our intentions are just like life.
What we put into them,
We get out of them.
So use this time to give back to your intentions.
Alignment happens when you show the universe that you are ready to commit to yourself.
By taking the time to be present with your intentions,
You show you know what you want.
And when you know what you want,
You are unstoppable.
Dedication and commitment incite change.
Paulo Calo says it best,
When you want something,
All the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
So over the next week,
Watch as the opportunities present themselves.
And notice when the feelings and desires you honor today begin to actualize.
Know that you can come back to this visualization whenever you need a boost.
But for now,
Release any remnants of your visualization,
Knowing that it is there for you.
To support and encourage you on your journey.
Start to come back to your awareness.
Feel your seat on the earth.
Notice the space you are in.
In your own time,
Invite mindful movement to your body.
Take a moment to connect your mind with your body and heart.
Pull your palms to a prayer to seal in your practice.
Namaste.
