Morning Intention Meditation

This is a slightly different version of my popular Morning Wake-Up Meditation. Many of you asked for me to leave more space so you have more time to affirm your beautiful morning intention. Now there's plenty of space for you to do this. Enjoy, as you gently start your day.

Transcript

As you lie there in your bed,

Whether it's on your back,

Your front or your side,

Let yourself wake up nice and slowly.

Start to notice the sensations of where your body touches the surface that you're lying on.

Are your hips gently pressing into the bed?

How does your head feel as it gently touches the pillow?

Notice any thoughts you're having.

They could be positive or negative.

Instead of getting locked into whatever thought you're having,

Gently bring your attention to your breathing.

For a minute,

Be like a curious scientist and just notice how you're breathing without judging it or criticizing it.

If you can,

Allow your breath to become a little softer and a little deeper.

On your next out breath,

Breathe all the air out of your lungs and slowly and mindfully let them refill on the next in breath.

Now just before you get out of bed,

Set yourself a kind intention for the day.

Keep it nice and simple.

It could be that you intend to check in regularly with your breathing throughout the day.

It could be that you intend to start each new action with mindfulness.

Calmly breathing in and out before you clean your teeth,

Get in the car or pick up the phone.

In your mind's eye or out loud,

Say the intention to yourself right now.

Taking the time to do this wires the intention in a little more firmly to your brain.

Now allow yourself to slowly and mindfully get out of bed,

Gently putting your feet on the floor and slowly rising off the bed to calmly and peacefully enter your day.
