Hi there and welcome to this guided meditation practice for intention setting.
Make yourself comfortable.
Perhaps you can sit down or just lay down.
Allow your eyes to softly fall and begin by shifting your focus towards your breath.
Let your attention be gentle in the breath so that you can feel the slightest movement of the breath as it travels in through your nose and comes back out to your mouth.
Now go ahead and inhale gently and peacefully.
And allow the breath to be inviting,
Soothing,
Relaxing and exhale any tension,
Stress or worry that no longer serves you.
You are becoming so calm and at peace with yourself in this very moment within your body,
Mind and soul.
When you are ready,
Begin by shifting your attention to your physical body.
How your belly rises and falls on each in-breath and out-breath.
Nor is any sensation when you are breathing.
Is your breathing heavy?
Shallow?
Deep?
Is it tender?
Light?
Quiet or loud?
Just simply observe this sensation without any judgement.
There is no need to change anything about the breath.
Now as you continue to breathe and if you feel comfortable doing so,
Ask yourself what your intention was for taking some time today to listen to this meditation.
Perhaps for your health,
To sustain your focus and attention,
To abide as pure awareness,
Undistracted by the outside world.
Or simply because you wanted to try.
Any intention is okay.
Welcome and affirm your intention and allow it to flow with the breath.
Ask yourself what kind of day are you going to have?
What matters most to you?
What would you like to build,
Create or nurture in your life?
What would you like to let go of?
Who would you like to forgive?
What are you grateful for?
And once you arrive to your heartfelt intention,
Take a deep breath in through your nose and as you inhale,
Quietly repeat the intention to yourself.
Whether it may be,
Today I am confident and full of certainty.
Today I will be in balance.
I will allow myself to be vulnerable.
I will give and receive love.
I will act with courage.
I will embrace change.
I will forgive myself.
Setting an intention allows you to remain grounded and reconnect of what matters most to you.
You are now cultivating incredible inner strength that is always present within you.
Visualize your life and imagine what it is like to be fully living your intentions.
What actions are you taking in your life with respect to yourself,
Others and the world around you?
When you imagine this new intention in your life,
Imagine it fully with each of your five senses.
Imagine what this new desire looks,
Smells,
Sounds,
Feels and tastes.
Feel as if you already have it.
Experience the joy of having achieved your desires.
This is you aligning with your intention that emerged deep within you.
You are energizing these intentions in motion now,
Allowing your body,
Mind and heart to resonate with a sense of harmony,
Well-being and gratitude as you imagine yourself living from and accomplishing your intentions.
Take a couple of minutes to breathe and reflect on these intentions that you found for yourself today.
Leave them in this moment.
And as this part is slowly comes to an end,
Set your intentions free,
Whatever that may mean to you,
Knowing your intention will keep you on the right path.
Let's take a couple of deep breaths together.
Go ahead and inhale gently.
And exhale.
Just today again inhale gently and exhale.
Draw your palms together to your heart and whenever you're ready,
Go ahead and open your eyes.
Thank you for spending some time with me today.
My name is Sahar and have a beautiful day.
Namaste.
