A Gentle Moment Of Intention (with Music)

So let's take a few moments to set our intention for today.

You may wish to close your eyes if it's safe for you to do so.

Relax your body and allow yourself to take a few rounding breaths.

And remember that you can come back to this another time.

Come back to it as many times as you need to.

So allowing the body to soften.

And just giving yourself a moment.

Maybe it's the first moment you've given yourself all day.

Starting to gently notice sensations in your body.

Notice what's going on in your mind.

Notice any emotions or feelings that are showing up.

Let's not judge anything.

Just notice with curiosity.

And if you find this challenging,

That's okay.

No one is good at something the first time they do it.

So allowing yourself to take a couple more breaths.

And then let's tune into the body and ask.

What do I need today?

What does my body need today?

Not what you want.

Not what you should do or you should be.

Not what someone else wants.

What does your body genuinely need?

Right now.

Maybe you want to take a few more breaths.

And ask yourself that question again.

What does your body genuinely need?

Right now.

And as you do that.

I invite you to choose one word or feeling.

Don't overthink it.

Whatever comes into your mind first is often the most useful.

It might be a word,

A phrase,

A feeling or an image.

Whatever shows up for you.

Let's take a few more grounding breaths.

As you breathe in your intention.

And then when you're ready.

Gently opening your eyes.

Easing yourself back into your space.

Maybe taking a very gentle stretch or wriggle.

If it feels comfortable.

And taking your time.

So you might find it useful to write down your intention.

Maybe you're feeling creative.

And you want to use it as a prompt for a poem.

Or a painting or drawing or music.

You might wish to reflect privately.

By using it as a journaling prompt.

This intention is the lens through which you make your choices.

Do they align with your intention or not?

And if they don't.

Can you find a way to align with that intention a little more?

Remember it doesn't need to be perfect.

It can be flexible.

It can change as it needs to.

The important thing is that you've done it.

So thank you for joining me today.

Thank you so much to you for showing up.

And for being you.

If you'd like to share your intentions.

I'd love to hear from you.

Take care.
