Goals vs. Intentions

Let's begin by settling into a peaceful posture. This could be sitting, lying down, or even standing, whatever resonates with you at this moment. If it feels right, you may gently close your eyes. Together, let's take a deep, nourishing breath. In through the nose. And out through the mouth. Encourage your muscles to soften, your jaw, shoulders, hands, and the abdomen. Let the breath flow naturally, finding its own rhythm. Now, invite yourself to reflect on your day. What are you grateful for? What lessons have you learned? Hold these thoughts gently in your mind, and let them guide your meditation.

As we delve deeper, let your focus rest on your breath. Feel the gentle rise and fall of your abdomen, inhaling and exhaling. Allow your mind to find tranquility, focusing solely on your breath, your life force. Now, let's broaden our awareness to the world of sound. Acknowledge the sounds around you, the subtle symphony of life. Let your reflection influence your perception of these sounds. They are not disturbances, but reminders of life's vibrant tapestry.

Lastly, ponder upon the actions you'd like to take tomorrow. Are they aligned with the reflections from today? Let's breathe in deeply once more, together. In through the nose. And out through the mouth. Well done. Carry these reflections and actions into your tomorrow. Let them guide your decisions and how you present yourself. Thank you for committing to this practice. We eagerly await your return for tomorrow's Evening Mindfulness. Until then, take care.
