Mindfulness Meditation · Reflection
This week’s meditation session is led by Tracy Cochran and the theme is Reflection. The guided meditation begins at 15:00.
The Wheel of Intentions was an interactive installation created by Potion and Ben Rubin based on a concept by the Rubin Museum. The installation allowed visitors to reflect on themselves and their world in order to set an intention for moving forward. Submissions from Rubin Museum visitors included:
I intend to: Embrace myself and my flaws, be kinder to myself, be more selfless, release control, practice bravery, and practice patience.
I intend to: Listen deeper, listen more, breathe deeply, and remember to be grateful.
I intend to: Find what’s beyond intending in life, find and pursue what brings me peace, find my power, and take charge of my life
I intend to: To love the best I am able, bring light into the world, live with focus and clarity, be softer, open, and kind, act with compassion, love without fear, and manifest happiness and hope.
