The simple yet powerful practice of setting your intention AND actively visualizing living from that intention is one of the most important habits you can develop. 

It can change your experience of life or a specific event during your day.

It can help you shift from always being in reactive mode, constantly "putting out fires" to having the opportunity to respond or even create the outcomes you desire.

In this episode, I share with you one of the most powerful practices I have integrated into my (almost) daily life.  You will learn how you can set an intention, then you will be gently guided through visualizing that you are living from that intention.

Enjoy this short meditation that is a fun twist on a traditional Mindfulness Meditation. This guided meditation brings in the healing vibes of the ocean waves while first focusing on the breath  then linking a helpful word to the rythym of  the incoming and outgoing waves.

During meditation, the aim is not to stop thoughts but instead to learn how to work with our thoughts so they do not consume us or create unnecessary and unproductive stress in the body.  Eventually, with the practice of meditation, the running stream of thoughts in our head will slow or become less frequent. Over time, a practiced meditator will notice more and more space between the thoughts and typically experience less destructive thoughts overall which lends to having a more peaceful and healthy inner life.

In this episode, I share a simple technique to help you start to transition into a quieter and more peaceful mind. A practice that you can do almost anywhere.

Ease into sleep,  decrease stress and practice connecting to your body to increase your awareness of what it needs while gently taking care of it with this beneficial body scan. 

This 15 minute body scan is best done lying on the floor so you can connect with how your body naturally is aligning itself.  For my listeners that are yogis, grab your mat and lie in Savasana, for those who are not, you may want to lie on a rug, carpet, blanket or towel. This practice can also be done on your  mattress as long as it isn’t too soft.

If you don't have time to sit on a meditation cushion daily (and even if you do!) this episode is for you!

In five minutes or less you can start to train your brain to more easily focus while also decreasing stress, anxiety and strengthening your immune system.

Integrating Mindfulness into activities you already do throughout your day is a simple way to get the benefits of Mindfulness without taking much time out of your busy day.  Frequency and consistency will enhance the benefits and often help you regain  time that is lost to feeling scattered, distracted or being reactive  in a way that isn't always very effective  and often can damage relationships.

RESOURCES:
If you are ready to reclaim your time, energy and feel more relaxed, focused and productive throughout the day, I encourage you to check out my Mindful Moment Map.

This PDF guide is full of great ways to easily integrate Mindfulness throughout your day whether you are at work, at home or on the go.
