Welcome to this short meditation to help you set an intention for your day.
To begin,
Please find a comfortable seat,
Either on the ground,
On a cushion,
Or in your favourite chair.
Sitting in a way that you can really lift up through the chest,
Lift up through the spine.
Allowing your chin to tuck in a little bit,
Elongating the back of your neck,
Resting your hands onto your lap.
If it feels okay,
You could close your eyes.
We'll take a breath in through the nose and let it out through the mouth with a little sigh.
Couple more in through the nose and out through the mouth.
In through the nose and out through the mouth.
Beautiful.
And breathing more freely now.
Beginning to feel into your closed eyes.
Allowing the eyelids to soften and releasing any tension from around your eyes.
Coming down into your mouth and checking in with your jaw.
Letting go of any tension,
Any tightness in the jaw.
Feeling your shoulders.
If you're holding the shoulders in place,
Letting them go,
Letting them drop.
Coming down to feel into your beautiful belly.
Letting your belly soften.
Feeling the sides of the waist.
Letting the sides of the waist soften now as well.
Zooming out,
Beginning to notice how the whole body feels right now.
Tuning into your inner world.
Taking the awareness towards the mind.
Noticing how your focus is.
How your thoughts are.
If there is tension in the mind,
It would be possible to let that soften a little now.
And then feeling the breath once more,
Beginning to tune into that natural rhythm of breath moving through your body.
And no need to do anything with your breath,
Just taking a moment to feel it.
And then seeing if you could call to mind a quality that you would like to embody today.
An intention that you have for your day to day.
And it can be anything but allow it to be positive.
So something that you want to be more of rather than less of.
Feeling more at ease,
More loving,
More grateful.
Whatever it is that you would like to call into your day to day.
And can you imagine how it might feel in your body?
That quality we're present now.
And how would your interactions be with other people today if that quality was there for you?
What would those interactions look like?
What would they feel like?
Can you get an image?
How would your evening be?
How would you spend your evening?
How would it feel?
And as you go to bed,
How would your sleep quality of your rest be affected?
And then letting this intention fade into the background,
Knowing that you have already done enough.
And take a couple of breaths in through the nose,
Out through the mouth,
In through the nose,
Out through the mouth.
One more.
Beautiful.
You can slowly open your eyes,
Returning to your day.
Thank you very much.
