Hello and welcome to this short guided meditation to help you start your day on the right note by setting an intention and visualizing how you would like your day to unfold.
To begin this practice take a moment to find a comfortable seated position,
And however you find yourself seated,
Elongate your spine as if your crown of the head is touching up towards the morning sun,
And allowing your shoulders to drop and your chest to open gently.
Closing your eyes if you haven't already done so,
And then take a few moments to check in with your natural ebb and flow of your breathing,
And just notice if there's any restrictions or contraction that is inhibiting your breath from flowing into the fullness of your lungs,
And where it is possible for you to consciously shift this,
See where you might invite increased softness or surrender into your physical body.
You might relax the belly,
The jaw,
Or your shoulders to facilitate the flow of this life force.
And now before we begin our intention setting and visualization practice,
Let's just take three long deep breaths together,
And begin by emptying your lungs,
All of it,
And take a full deep breath into the belly for a count of four,
Pause for a second at the top,
And then slowly let it go for a count of four.
Another slow deep breath in,
Brief pause at the top,
And then completely release as you breathe out.
One more full deep nourishing breath in,
And brief pause,
And then release with a soft sigh as you exhale.
And just let the breath continue to flow naturally as it awakens you to this day ahead.
Now,
I invite you to take a silent moment to tune in with your heart as you reflect upon what intention you would like to set for your day.
It might be to move forward with courage and confidence,
To be loving and compassionate with those you interact with,
Maybe to feel grounded and centered in your being,
Or anything else that feels true to your most authentic self this morning.
And whatever it is,
Take a moment to silently formulate that intention into a single sentence,
And then silently repeat it to yourself slowly,
With heartfulness and commitment.
And know that there is no right or wrong intention to set,
So you don't have to overthink it,
Just let whatever arises from within your heart,
And be led by that.
Now,
With this intention in mind,
And with your commitment to embody it in each minute and hour that unfolds,
I invite you to visualize your next few steps upon finishing this meditation.
Where will you go next,
And what energy will you travel with there?
How will your body and mind feel as you move through the morning,
With your intention radiating out from within you?
Picture how you will stand,
How you will walk,
What you will wear,
And which qualities you will carry with you.
And then follow your steps even further into the future,
What will your late morning look like,
Your lunch hour,
Or your early afternoon?
Consider any interactions you will have,
The effortless moments,
The potential challenges,
And the simple moments in between.
Picture yourself navigate all of these moments with grace,
Ease,
And authenticity.
As you visualize yourself moving through the day,
Notice how it feels to be you,
To be the you who lives in alignment with your highest intent.
Let this energy embed itself in each cell of your being as you watch yourself effortlessly moving forward through the day.
Consider next how you will transition into late afternoon and evening,
What interactions do you expect to have?
If there are any obstacles you imagine might cross your path,
Know that you have within you what it takes to navigate these as best as can be done.
Let your intention and the vision of your highest self guide your steps forward.
Spend just a few final moments visualizing any important details about the day ahead and then empower these visions with trust,
Faith,
And confidence in yourself and in your intention.
And when you are ready,
Slowly let the imagery dissolve as you come back to your breathing.
Watch the breath as it flows through the heart space.
And from the heart,
I invite you to silently repeat the following words,
I move forward in alignment with my highest intent.
I move forward in alignment with my highest intent.
I move forward in alignment with my highest intent.
And now just take three long deep breaths to close this practice.
And after that last breath,
Whenever you are ready,
You can slowly open your eyes to the And as you move forward,
Let your intention and your highest visions empower the hours to come.
Thank you for your time.
And until next time,
Goodnight my friend,
Goodnight.
