Welcome to Day 1 of Om For The Holidays: 11 Days of Mindfulness and Inner Peace! Today, we begin our journey by setting powerful intentions for the holiday season, helping you connect to a deeper purpose and create a foundation of mindfulness that will guide you in the days ahead. Setting intentions allows you to approach this season with clarity, aligning your actions with what truly matters to you and fostering a sense of calm and presence amid the holiday busyness.

In this episode, you’ll be guided through a practice to identify and set your personal intentions for a meaningful, balanced season. We’ll explore what it means to set intentions versus goals and how this approach can bring more purpose, joy, and fulfillment to your holiday experiences. Through this practice, you’ll be able to create a guiding focus, whether it’s about being more present, cultivating gratitude, or nurturing self-compassion.

What You’ll Experience in This Episode:

  • Understanding Intentions – Discover the power of intention-setting and how it differs from goal-setting, emphasizing a focus on inner qualities and experiences.
  • Guided Reflection – Reflect on what you value most about the season and identify qualities you want to cultivate, such as patience, joy, or presence.
  • Intention-Setting Practice – A guided meditation that helps you connect to your values and choose a meaningful intention for the season.
  • Daily Integration Tips – Practical ways to remind yourself of your intention throughout the day and bring it into holiday activities, gatherings, or quiet moments.

By the end of today’s practice, you’ll have a clear intention to carry with you—a reminder of what you wish to focus on to make this season truly fulfilling. Join us as we set the stage for a peaceful, joyful holiday experience with purpose and mindfulness.
