Dr. Shauna Shapiro presents a practice to help meditators reconnect with their intentions when commitment fizzles, emphasizing that understanding why you meditate can fuel passion and motivation.

Key Takeaways:

  • Feel the Body: Connect with your entire body from feet to face, sensing breath moving through the body before inquiring into your meditation intention
  • Listen Closely: Listen from a deeper place beyond thought and analysis, using body awareness rather than cognitive discernment to discover what feels most true
  • Note and Release: Hold your intention clearly in consciousness, then let it go—the intention guides rather than becomes a fixation
