Every day we wake up is an opportunity to plant new seeds of intention in our lives.
Today we are going on a guided journey inward to plant a seed for new intentions.
Let's begin by finding a comfortable position to sit or lie down.
Be sure you're comfortable enough to sit in stillness,
But it's okay if you need to readjust.
Close your eyes and bring your awareness to your breath as it flows into your lungs.
Our breath is the life force that keeps our bodies,
Our minds,
And our souls moving through life.
Feel the air as it moves through your nose,
Deep into your lungs,
Filling your lungs as they expand,
And follow that same breath as you exhale gently through your mouth.
We are going to deepen our breathing now,
Focusing inward on our center.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and exhale through your mouth with a gentle sigh.
With every breath you take,
Feel your body relax deeper and deeper.
Again,
Let's take a deep breath in through our nose and exhale through our mouth with a gentle sigh.
You are becoming more relaxed,
More at peace,
More at ease.
For a third time,
Take a deep breath in through your nose,
Filling your lungs to the very bottom,
And exhale through your mouth with a gentle sigh,
Releasing the air from your lungs.
Continue breathing mindfully,
Returning your breath to a natural rhythm.
This is a new beginning.
Every day that you wake up,
You have an opportunity to start fresh,
To start over and release the past.
Today,
We are planting a seed of intention to watch grow into the future.
What are you going to plant today?
A seed of hope for fertility?
A seed of passion for new love?
A seed of forgiveness and letting go?
A seed of abundance for a successful career?
This choice is yours.
I want you to picture in your mind a tiny seed,
Any seed that you would like.
This is your seed,
The seed being planted for your future.
In your mind's eye,
See yourself holding this seed in the palm of your hand.
What does it look like?
Is it large or small?
Is it brown,
Green,
Yellow,
Or some other color?
Notice its shape.
Is it shaped like a heart,
An oval,
A circle,
A rectangle?
Hold this seed in your mind and envision the future you are calling to.
Hold your intention in your mind and see it within the seed.
This is the seed of your future,
Your growth,
And your abundance.
Hold this seed close to you in your mind.
Visualize bringing it close to you,
To your lips,
And whisper your desires.
Imbue this seed with your intention.
Spend a few moments in this feeling,
Really envisioning what you want to bring to fruition.
Now that your seed knows its purpose,
It is time to plant it.
See in front of you a small pot filled with soil.
This is your seed's new home.
This is where your mind will hold the seed,
Nurture it,
And help it to grow.
Reach forward and plant your seed in the soil.
Take extra care to gently cover the seed so it has room to grow.
Your seed is now home,
Living in the soil in your thoughts and mind.
Visualize this pot of soil in your mind's eye,
This beautiful piece of earth that now carries your hopes and dreams.
As you see the soil,
A gentle rain comes to water your seed.
Your hopes,
Your emotions,
Are connected to this rain,
Nurturing this seed and giving it the water it needs to grow.
As the gentle rain and soil provide all the nutrients that a seed needs to thrive,
So too does your solid foundation and emotional commitment provide everything you need to bring your desires to you.
Watch as this seed grows from a tiny speck to a beautiful,
Blossoming flower.
A gentle rain brings a hint of green above the soil,
A growing bud,
A new leaf,
A stem twisting to the sky,
And a blossoming flower opening at the top.
Your seed has been planted,
Your intention has been set,
And the work has been set in motion.
Looking at this flower in front of you,
Know that your intentions will come to you,
Your desires and goals will come to you.
Your desires and goals will blossom in your life,
Just as this flower has blossomed in your mind.
You carry this flower with you,
This seed of intention has been planted in your heart and mind,
And wonderful things will come to you.
This flower will be here for you.
When you need a reminder of your intentions and the growth that is possible,
Come back to this flower here in your thoughts.
See how it grows with every passing day,
Getting more and more beautiful every time you see it.
You have the power to bring change to your life.
You have the power to achieve your dreams.
You are the magic.
And as we leave this meditation today,
Let's take three more deep breaths together.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and exhale through your mouth with a gentle sigh.
With every breath you take,
Know in your heart that this flower is blossoming.
Again,
Let's take a deep breath in through your nose and exhale through your mouth with a gentle sigh.
Your intentions have been set and the work has been put in motion.
For a third time,
Take a deep breath in through your nose,
Filling your lungs to the very bottom and exhale through your mouth with a gentle sigh,
Releasing the air from your lungs.
Give your fingers a little wiggle,
Stretch from side to side,
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes.
