Intention Setting

If you are anything like me, opening up to the spiritual path got overwhelming, fast. I would be the first to sign up for every class, retreat or course, my then spiritual mentor would host. Moments of hope and peace turned into depression, anxiety, confusion and harm. I did not understand why I felt lower than I did before beginning my ‘spiritual awakening.’ I attached my healing to the amount of sessions I had with healers, intuitives and such.  Some were needed, yes, but I got lost in what true wholeness stands for. It was later in my 20s when my third NDE took place when I broke away from my ‘soul tribe.’ More to follow on that, but this is when I learned the importance of Intention Setting when working and surrounding myself with healers. 

The ironic part of Intention Setting is that I did not learn this from another healer or mentor. The lesson came to me in my dreams. My guides often use my dreams as a way to communicate with me or to get my attention. This is what they had to say: 

Little One, 

We are connecting with you now to teach you the importance of Intention Setting. This can be done before a session with a healer. You must take time to sit with your heart and ask it what it needs from you. Your heart is begging you to listen to her. She has stories to tell you. She asks you to include her on your journey. So far you are working on your spirit and what they call your ‘soul purpose.’ Later you will discover how this vibration of spirituality does not resonate with you. We are asking you to do something different. To do what most don’t sign up to do and that is create a relationship with your mind, body, heart and spirit. You will remain in your cave for years until you are ready to be out in the world again. 

As you continue on your journey, ask the universe who you can trust as you begin to hibernate. You will need someone to hold space for you and there are people out there who are willing to do so. Ask the universe to guide you to the person. From there, set intentions on what you want to work on, talk about, or process before making your appointment. Once an intention is clear, reach out to the practitioner and book the appointment. When booking, communicate clearly on what you are booking the appointment for. If this is not respected, you will know, this practitioner is not for you. If it is respected, continue on your journey. 

You got this little one. Keep going. We are here with you, every step of the way. 

Steps:

• Find a comfortable position
• Limit distractions
• Set a cozy atmosphere or go outside if you are a nature person
• Place your right hand over your heart and your left over your stomach
• Gently close your eyes and take four deep cleansing breaths
• Breathe in through the nose and out of the mouth. Making sure your stomach inflates and then deflates when breathing out.
• Allow time to connect with your heart beat rhythm. Notice its beat, vibration and strength.
• Invite your heart to ask what it needs from you. Tell it you need its help, helping
• When it comes, express gratitude. If it doesn't come right then, do not worry. It will communicate in its own way to you. And the best part is that no one can tell you otherwise. When it feels complete you may feel the need to write it down or simply anchoring it in by breathing deeply.
• Again, do what brings you peace.

As my guides expressed to me during my dream, you got this! You are being led every step of the way. And know, that every healer may not resonate with you and that is okay. The most important thing is to you continue allowing space to create the relationship between you and your higher self. Love is always on your side. 

Hope this resonates and highlights the importance of Intention Setting. I hope you see your worth and if not, I encourage you to do so. 

Journey on ...
