If you feel as if you\u2019re in the passenger seat watching the scenery go by but would rather be behind the wheel driving to your wildest dreams, <\/span><\/span>Britt Deanda and Tara Schulenberg offer their morning meditation practices as the way to change your life.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Getting caught up in the chaos of daily living causes \u201cus to completely miss the blessings of the moment and keep us from actually enjoying and realizing what a freaking gift it is to wake up and be alive!\u201d they write in the welcome to \u201cGood Morning Intentions: Sacred Rituals to Raise Your Vibration, Find Your Bliss and Stay Energized All Day.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The most effective way to get the energy, determination, courage, confidence, self-authority, and self-love needed to get back in the driver\u2019s seat and sustain yourself, they recommend rising with the sun and committing to a daily spiritual practice. The background was interesting and the introduction compelling, even to me who regularly sleeps until 10am. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Twenty-one morning rituals in the book include such themes as discovering your destiny, activating your voice, reducing fear and anger, upgrading your immune system, and manifesting specific desires. Each is designed to connect you deeply to yourself so your inner compass can guide you. They were curated by the two women guided by Source; share a generic structure; and are comprised of practices from Kundalini yoga and meditation, manifestation techniques, self-care, and plant-based nutrition. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The rituals \u2013 ranging from fifteen minutes to eighty minutes \u2013 are grouped according to the Six Pillars: stress management, mindset, connection to you, manifestation, self-love and self-care, and body and wellness. Each has an introduction. Encouragement and the authors\u2019 personal stories appear throughout the book.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For a ritual to be successful, the authors state a minimum of a forty-day commitment is required. To begin, they suggest starting with the ritual you are most called to do. For me that was manifesting specific desires \u2013 a ritual to clear out mental trash and create space to magnetize desires rather than chase after them. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Each step \u2013 what to gather, how to tune in and warm up, a mantra, movement, meditation, journaling and eating rainbow colored fruits atop chia seed pudding for nourishment \u2013 is explained. I found the Spotify playlist accompanying the book helpful.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With some modifications, I have done this now five consecutive days. Despite getting only three hours sleep one night, I felt alert, calm, focused, and powerful, making me want to continue. Seeing <\/span>whispers<\/span> of results already on their way, it brought comfort to read, \u201cWhatever your intention is for doing these rituals, know that most people experience positive changes from them.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
