OBSERVE YOUR BREATH 

The breath is the focal point.

Softly close your eyes or narrow your gaze out to a point in front of you.

Allow deep rich full breath to enter through your nose and fill your lungs, expand your rib cage and belly.

Pause.

Exhale slowly and completely.

Pause.

Repeat.

Continue for approximately 5 breath cycles allowing your nervous systems to relax and keeping your focus on the movement of breath.

Each time the mind wanders, notice and gently bring it back to the breath.

After approximately 5 breath cycles of deep conscious breathing switch to “receiving the breath.” Your body knows what to do. You get to simply observe and continue to bring your focus back as it wanders.

That’s it. Simple, not always easy.

Be gentle and forgiving with yourself.

Allow yourself to be curious and enjoy this time and space.

Stay in this meditation for as long as you’d like or as long as time allows.

SET AN INTENTION:

What’s an intention?

An intention is a declaration. It’s an aim or plan, a place toward which to steer. An intention creates a sense of motivation, inspiration and purpose. It’s a focal point and a commitment.

An intention supports the creation and manifestation process and increases receptivity. Intentions anchor you into the presence in which you recognize the opportunity each moment offers.

Intentions can absolutely change your life.

What’s your intention

for today? This week? This month? This year?

What do you need? What do you want? Most importantly, what do you desire?

Allow your consistent meditation practice to help you hone and sustain increased awareness and focus.

Allow your meditation practice and the increased clarity of focus to supercharge your intentions.
