A Powerful Morning Intention

Hi, welcome back to your Daily Mindfulness. In today's session, we're going to talk about how to show up to each day with more openness. One of the things I've been talking about more in my teachings is the distinction between the mind's noise and the soul's truth. To me, learning to identify this distinction is how we bridge the inner freedom we feel in our meditation practice with crafting a life that creates that same sense of freedom. Many of our decisions are made from the noise of the mind, even if we have a deep meditation practice.

To drop beneath that noise tends to require showing up with more humility to our life. And leading from a place of trust and surrender, not simply the agitation of the parts that are trying to control all of our outcomes. So here's a morning intention or prayer, if you will, that I wrote that may be able to help you start your day from a more spacious, inviting, and expansive place. It goes like this: I show up to this day with humility. I recognize my mind's limitations to create soul alignment and welcome guidance from a deeper source of wisdom within me or outside of me.

I make myself available as a channel for my deepest truth to express itself. If you want to pause this video, rewind and write this down, you're welcome to. Try saying it first thing in the morning when you wake up or at the beginning of your meditation practice if it inspires you. Thank you for your practice and let's settle in for today's meditation.
