Before it all begins, intention sets the stage for what is to come. For me, the first step into concentration is one of intention. Intention is the first step, if there is a step to be taken.
Actually, there is nothing to be done. The action is all about not doing. But for that to happen, intention frees the needle of the compass to point along the magnetic pull to a natural state of deep concentration.
There is no initiative, no trying. Relaxing my body is part of the movement, but first there is intention. Intention is the essential ingredient for deep awareness.
- May my body be quiet and relaxed
- May my mind be free of distraction and concerns
- May my heart be open to the world around me
Before it all begins, intention sets the stage for what is to come.
