Morning Intention Setting

Take some time to connect with your calm centre and set your intention for the day.

This is a morning intention

setting meditation.

This meditation will help you cultivate

inner strength, clarity, and a calm

center so that you can meet each day

with the very best of who you are.

So to begin with, just beginning to

settle into a comfortable posture.

And, and when you're ready,

allowing your eyes to lightly close.

Just dropping your awareness now, right

down into the contact points between

your body and the floor or of the

body and the chair, the cushion you're

sitting on, all the places of contact

where body meets the surface beneath.

Just feeling the sensations here and now.

And then gently drawing the focus

to the rhythm of your breathing.

You don't have to control or

change the breath in any way.

Just tuning into the sensations

as the breath arises and

passes, like shifting tides.

So I'm going to ask three questions

now and then give you a space

to contemplate the answers.

The first question is, what is it

that matters most to you today?

You know, we can so easily get caught

up in the momentum and the headlong rush

of daily life, finding ourselves, just

putting one foot in front of the other.

But Hey, you're only going

to live this day once.

So what is it that matters most?

The second question is what would

you like to let go of today?

Are you holding any resentments,

regrets, grudges, old beliefs, or

thoughts that no longer really serve you?

What would you like to let go of.

And the final question is,

who do you choose to be today?

In other words, what are the values

you choose to express and live in the

world today, in your relationships,

in your interactions, in your work,

in your rest, who do you choose to be?

You might mentally repeat

to yourself, I choose to be.

And then let the answers come.

Do you choose to be loyal?

Do you choose to be kind?

Courageous?

Who do you choose to be?

And then just dropping awareness

right back into the breath.

Taking a deep breath in.

Steady breath out.

And as you prepare now to reconnect

with the world around you and going

about your day, just now, perhaps making

an intention to take this awareness

and this clarity of purpose with you.

And remember that if at any time

today you find yourself caught up,

stressed, reactive or off center,

you can always take a pause, take

a deep, slow conscious breath.

And then once again, reconnect

and remember what matters most.

Have a wonderful day.
