I have used this form of morning meditation for quite some time and feel the ease of this practice and results in a more generous day with better focus.
This is a meditation to begin the day. In a seated pose, focus on your breath. Cultivate a steady, relaxed breath. Then ask yourself: What is my intention today? After posing the question, rest your attention on the out-breath. This creates a spaciousness of attention on the in-breath. There is no direction for the in-breath. Do not get carried away by thinking, but also do no tightly control the attention.
Continue to notice each out breath. Sit until you are struck by a clarity of intention. It comes not by chasing it down with thinking, but by stilling the mind and creating space. It may take a few minutes, or much longer. If no specific intention announces itself to you, simply commit to acting ethically and with mindfulness. That is certainly an intention that we can all practice each day.
This meditation seems simple, and it is simple. It’s power lies in its ability to help us act intentionally throughout the day. If you practice this meditation each morning, you will find yourself more ‘awake’ behind the wheel of your life*.

Wow. Once again you take us to pre-hisotric times… Jurassic Linaland.
A place where, with the help of our smiley, curley haired guide, we learn to clear valuable space in our iincreasingly burdened minds. A trip back to when things were simple… like the beginning of time. Our birth.
I love the way the mist is just rising to give way to what looks like is gonna be an amazing day, full of discovery and wonder. I actually just got to work. Seeing this made me feel good about my day. This is powerful art.
linaji replied
You see, you were here with me as I looked out. This is a new birth in my art and your wisdom and kindness as an accomplished artist has given me such strength. I owe you so much you do not know. So many times I go to your work and wonder how you work the fine lines of collage.. I wish I was a student of yours. I am ok with this image.. it is the family of seals I want to create and I have no idea how.
That Curley haired guide.. did she have hair extentions? tee hee.. She loves to created mood for sure in her work but the family of barley alive seals need some help!!!
Thanks so much for your view on this one.. I was so pleased that I only had to do a bit of brighten and contrast to make this piece shine..~!!! xoxo
