When it feels like the outside world is infringing on your slow and thoughtful season,
Honor your chosen pace.
Reconnect with what matters most to you with this meditation.
Take a deep breath in,
Hold it for a moment,
And exhale slowly.
Close your eyes or lower your gaze if you prefer.
Take another deep breath in,
Hold it,
And exhale.
Let your shoulders soften as you repeat that nice big breath one more time.
Let your forehead and your jaw relax,
And return to your normal breathing pattern,
Nice and easy.
Imagine yourself sitting in a space that makes you feel calm.
Maybe it's on a beach or in your favorite spot at home.
Notice what you see and what you hear around you.
Now think of your intention.
What does it mean to you?
Why does it matter to you?
Continue these thoughts while you place a hand on your heart.
Feel your heart beating.
Notice your chest moving as you breathe.
Feel the warmth between your hand and your heart.
Imagine a light glowing in that warmth.
That light is there to illuminate your journey.
Feel it getting brighter.
See it radiating out through your fingers.
Now take a deep breath in,
Feeling the warmth of your intention and seeing its light.
As you exhale,
Remind yourself of a slow and thoughtful approach to your journey.
A thoughtful approach will serve you well.
When you're ready,
Place your hand back on your lap and bring your awareness to the space you're in.
Gently blink open your eyes.
Soak in the calm that you feel and the connection you have to your intention.
Your intention is a warm,
Glowing light there for you whenever you need it.
Thank you for joining me today.
Be well,
My friend.
