Mindfulness and Intention Setting
A breathing meditation plus an intention-setting contemplation to help you live with more purpose and clarity.
So just settling in here into a meditation posture of your choice. And when you're ready, allowing your eyes to gently close. And now just bringing all of your attention to the breath. That's it. Just letting this moment be center stage in your awareness and letting everything else drop away into the wings.
So that all that's left is just this moment and just this breath. So no need to change the breath in any way. Just feeling the sensations of the breath moving in the body. So for many of us, it can be really hard to pause from all the urges, to think about how we want to fix and change things around, what we want to plan, what we want to solve. And we really so rarely just let ourselves be.
So just encouraging you to give yourself full permission right now to do that, to just rest in being just rest in the present moment. There's nothing else you needed to do. Nowhere else you need to be. So just breathing, resting. Being fully alive to what's here in this present moment.
And now just inviting you to contemplate a few questions. The first question is, what is it that matters to you most in life? Is it certain people? Is it making a difference? Or connecting to something larger than yourself? Just taking a moment to contemplate what matters to you most. The next question is, what would you like to let go of? Or maybe you're holding on to some resentments, regrets or grudges that really no longer serve you. Some limiting beliefs, maybe. What would you like to let go of? And the final question is, what is your highest intention for today? How do you want to show up? Who do you want to be? What are the values that you choose to express and leave today in the world? Maybe love, courage, kindness.
What's your highest intention? And as the practice now draws towards the end, just taking a deep breath in. As you breathe out, beginning to wriggle the fingers and toes. And when you're ready, opening the eyes. Thank you for your practice. And as you prepare to go about the rest of your day, perhaps making an intention to take this awareness and this clarity of purpose with you into the rest of the day.

Vidyamala’s tips on catching anger as it’s happening or about to happen are great - clear, practical, and doable.
- Vicoir
The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.
- Lauren
Incredible, easy to navigate app. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wishes to reduce stress and anxiety or simply as an aid to improve overall mental health.

So calm and soothing. I love the new bundle with Kelly Boys, she’s brilliant!

Better than Headspace. I've had the paid version of both apps, and I must say I enjoy this one better.
