Each new day brings with it a million fantastic possibilities, although sometimes our routine clouds our vision so much that we are not always able to see them. Start the day with a Guided meditation can help us start the day with energy.
Start the day focusing on your purpose
Why does meditation help? Because helps us live in connection with our intention and purpose. If there is something that demotivates us from routine, it is possibly the fact that we tend to lose the sense of purpose in it, or perhaps we have forgotten our fundamental intention.
By fundamental intention I mean the large-scale intention by which we once chose to commit to dedicating our vital time to what we are dedicating it to today. And I also mean the one that, on a small scale, gives direction to your day, to your present moment or to specific situations in your daily life.
Your intentions are those qualities that are really relevant to you and with which you want to give your life meaning.
When you review them, you can realize if the strategies you are carrying out to connecting with those qualities in your life whether they continue to work for you or not.
Giving an example: when you connect with your intention of passion and freedom by having chosen that nomadic job, you can firstly realize if that work continues to serve those intentions and, secondly, realize if those intentions are still present or if, on the contrary, Now your intentions are different. This can help you know if what you choose is right for you at all times.
This way, you can make decisions from a place of solidity within you. But this is not the only benefit of living in connection with your intention and purpose: it is also the fact that energy flows where your intention goes, which can help you. live your day to day in a simple and full way, no matter what you do.
Energy flows where the intention goes
“Energy flows where intention goes” says an English saying, announcing to us the fact that we are charging with energy the place where we place our conscious attention and intention.
Intention is full of life and energy, it gives us enthusiasm and direction, it gives us strength and passion. And it does so because it springs directly from our deepest human desires, which in turn are born from our Being. Our intention is, therefore, a direct reflection of our essential needs on an emotional and spiritual level and that is why connecting with them gives meaning to our path, and the direction we take along it.
How to meditate to start the day with energy
I have dedicated this guided meditation to energize yourself through breathing and visualization and, above all, to connect with an intention that gives direction to your day and keeps you in touch with your Being.
- Close your eyes and notice how you feel right now. Feel the effect on your body of this night of rest, of your dreams. And feel too what is it like to start this new day for you, What is your inner feeling when facing this day. Welcome it with openness, whatever it may be and feel it.
- Now you can cover your left nostril with your hand and start taking long, deep breaths through your right nostril.
- Focus all your attention on the air of inhalation and visualize it as a brilliant light that enters you and expands through your body, revitalizing all your cells. Feel the energy that this gives you, and feel the life in your body and each of its parts, feel alive.
- Visualize that the sun is behind you shining brightly, sending you its strength and light.
- Now ask yourself, What is my intention for today? And let your body respond, feeling in it what quality you would like to experience today. It can be joy, flow, peace, passion, determination, authenticity… Whatever your quality is. today let yourself be flooded by internal physical sensations that appear in your body when you connect with it..
- From this quality in you, little by little you can open your eyes, observing what is around you from this place in you.
- I suggest that you invite this quality to any activity you do throughout the day today, or that you bring awareness to how that quality may already be present in what you are doing, without you having realized it before.
