Morning Intention

The word 'intention' comes from Latin, intentio, to stretch or to reach or, as in this morning practice, to direct one's attention toward something.

Here we try to utilize the very special and delicate mood in which we wake up.

Regardless of whether we wake to inner and outer light or darkness, the atmosphere of waking is delicate for most of us. Vulnerable. The morning atmosphere is the doorway into the coming day. So how we pass through it is important.
In this guidance we receive support in several ways, a helping hand at our back.
Support to sense the body. From sleep's almost disembodied dimension, it's important that we land in our physicality in the best possible way. Take possession of our body.

This meditation is recorded in collaboration with Kontemplation, and Kontemplation's January Practice, 2026.
Kontemplation also has a profile here with guided meditations, and a very comprehensive practice library on their profile.
