The Question
How are your head, heart, and body today?
The Intention
Listen
The Meditative Moment
Take a seat of your choice. Place your hands on your belly. Ask your body what it needs from you this month. More activity? Stillness? Rest? Laughter? Carbs? Veggies?
Place your hands on your forehead. Ask your mind what it needs from you this month. More stimulation? Less? A good book? A new challenge? Meditation? Distraction?
Place your hands on your heart. Ask your heart what it needs from you this month. More tenderness? Less judgment? Social time? Alone time? Art? Opening? Protection?
In the midst of family obligations, work demands, and societal expectations, it can be hard to listen to what our bodies, minds, and hearts need. It can be even harder to give them what they need. You don’t have to do it all, but try to do something for body, mind, and heart this month.
