Setting Your Intention Guided Meditation
Find a quiet space where you can sit comfortably, not distracted by images, sounds, or other people.
Settle into this space. Sitting upright, although maybe against a wall or a chair, allow your head and neck to relax.
Also during this time, maybe you want to set up relaxing music or sounds to play in the background of your meditation. If you enjoy the silence, that is just fine too.
Once you are ready, with your eyes still open take your first breath.
Breathe in the space.
Breathe in what you want to get out of the meditation.
Breathe in the confidence and support to get through the meditation.
Then exhale.
Exhale doubt, worry, or any distractions on your mind.
Once you allow your breath to exit, close your eyes and begin to breathe.
Your breath should start to form a rhythm of long inhales and even longer exhales.
Maybe you want to picture the movement of your breath.
Does it move in a certain direction? Does it tighten in a certain area?
With this time work out how to make your breath flow constant and comfortable.
Repeat this breathwork until you start to feel a sort of calmness come over you.
Because your body is becoming relaxed, you should be more aware of the areas that are taking a longer time to soothe and continue to hold stress.
Allow your breath to move into those areas.
Your breath should ruminate and massage those areas, and then exhale the breath out.
Repeat this until the most tense places in your body become more at rest.
Maybe this is the time you roll out your neck. Letting it fall slowly to your chest, reverse to your back, then to the other shoulder, and back to forward position. Allow yourself to take this moment to do what feels correct to your body, while your breath guides this work.
Once any tension has been released, find the rhythm of your breath again.
Concentrate on your breath. If a thought or curiousity tries to interrupt, return to focusing on how long you can inhale for and then exhale for.
Continue to breathe.
Now, set an intention.
An intention solidifies a desire. With manifestation and concentration, you can will that desire into existence by constantly setting it as your intention.
By setting an intention, you will become more aware of what you want.
Focus your breath on the intention.
Allow it to come in and out with your breath.
Now think: What do you want to come from this meditation?
How can the intention you set during this meditation follow everything you do with the rest of your day?
After the meditation, what steps do you need to take to follow and achieve the intention?
Now just sit with the intention… manifest and concentrate on it.
Slowly allow yourself to take one final inhale and exhale, focusing on the intention and how you will achieve it.
Return back to the rhythm of your breath. Just breathe.
Concentrate on how long you can inhale and then exhale for. Keep your breath steady.
Maybe these moments start to make you feel tranquil and incredibly calm. Rest under this feeling. Stay here for as long as you can before a thought protrudes. Then maybe rest in silence or listen to the gentle sounds in the background.
Then once you are ready, return to taking deep inhales and then deeper exhales.
Open your eyes. Remember your intention. Go take the steps to achieve your intention.
