Intention Ritual for 2015

Setting Intentions for 2015

I believe in setting intentions instead of resolutions, and I use intuitive guidance to help me choose intentions for the year that both help me grow and stretch but also are best for me at the time. No point in setting myself up for disappointment!

So if you would like to re-dedicate yourself to this year's intentions, or create new ones, here's a ritual you can use. Do it every month, on the new moon, if you'd like.

Intention Ritual

Light a candle.

Offer up a blessing for the year to come.

Create some magic & marry it to your intentions.

Imagine everything you want to create, feel and experience.

Say “thank you” in advance.

Offer up trust that somehow, it will come to pass, and resolve not to worry about the “how.”

Decide what you will think about, instead, when you are tempted to worry.

Blow out the candle.

How to Create Exactly What You Want Using the Full Moon

The Full Moon

Welcome to the full moon!

This phase is the most magical and powerful moon phase for creating, for healing, and for manifesting your intentions. So this is the moment to give it all you've got. And because you have dealt with whatever was blocking you, all of your energy can be directed at this intention.

"The three days of the full moon -- the day of, the day before and the day after -- can be used to boost any intention or project. This phase represents achievement, culmination and abundance. The world is filled with energy and potential, and it's a great time for healing work and manifestation." ~~Lucy Cavendish and Serene Conneeley

These steps, minus the addition to follow the moon phases, are the steps you can use during this full moon to manifest what you want...

(1) Get clear about your intention: I've got helpful ways to do that here and here.

(2) Create ritual: using the process I have suggested here and here and here.

(3) Use magical tools: whatever you have or can acquire quickly will do.

Crystals: in crystal elixirs or crystal layouts

Essential oils: in smudge sprays or healing sprays for use during ritual

Whatever else you've got

(4) Heal everything you can think of that might be in the way: if you haven't done this already, during the first quarter moon phase, then fold it in to your full moon work

(5) During the ritual and for the next day or so: visualize the results you want.

What are your plans for this powerful full moon?

Have a great day!

Facing Down a Mountain of Resistance

So, in yesterday's post, I admitted that when the time came to gear up for this month's new moon work, I just did not feel like doing it. But today, I can happily report that I am back in the game for this month.

Climbing Resistance Mountain 

(1) First, I ate an impressive amount of white cheddar popcorn. There may have been a few cookies,too. (Don't judge)

(2) Then I grabbed my "take back your power" elixir and my "find your voice" elixir, and after using them, I put them on the windowsill, surrounded by a circle of carnelian, which, itself, was surrounded by double-terminated clear quartz crystal.

(I have rough ones, too, but I used large tumbled ones, like these)

(3) I did a quick ritual that included prayer, my wand, my desert jasper and a lot of compassion for myself. I realized that I had had a dream recently that foreshadowed this resistance.

And I remembered feeling so intimidated by what I understood of its meaning, that I just sort of left it for later. Looked like later had turned into now, LOL! It was one of my driving the car dreams, and was about all sorts of things going wrong after I got behind the wheel.

For me, in addition to whatever else makes the particular dream unique, it comes down to trusting myself and feeling safe.

(4) I decided to make 2 crystal elixirs, one I would call Safe and another for the actual moon wish I am going to work on this month. I would work on trust and safety first and then, create the 2nd elixir.

(5) I also did an intuitive reading to get some extra insight into the problem, and a healing ritual and meditation.

(6) It all worked, and really helped. But the work will continue this month, and I will see how it goes. At each phase, I'll check in with myself and see which adjustments I might need to make to keep things on course.

But meanwhile, have a look at the crystal layout I finally created!

Dealing with Resistance

My encouragement for anyone dealing with resistance is to lean into it, and try to figure out what your inner child needs, or what the inner fear is about, and then, address that in your ritual or moon work. Put the other work on hold, if you need to, until you're ready. You've got nothing but time, right?

How do you usually handle resistance after you've set a goal or intention?

See you tomorrow!

Getting Crystal Clear about Your Intention

Getting Crystal Clear about Your Intention

So, you’ve identified this next thing that’s raising its hand in your life, asking to take center stage. And you’ve uttered it to the dark of the moon. 

Your next step is to get crystal clear about your intention.

Journal Exploration or Quiet Reflection

(1) What is this intention, once manifested, going to look like? And feel like? 

(2) How do you want it to show up for you and what changes will it make? 

Take some time today to actively visualize this change and describe it to yourself by creating the dream-come-true inside your head. One you have done this visualization and reflection, see if that changes the way you would describe the intention.

Get clear about how you are naming this new thing you want to do. And then write it down.

I suggest writing it in your journal and on a slip of paper you will use either on your windowsill or in some other form.

(A full moon collage I created a few years ago)

Some people create collages each month at the new moon and full moon. This would be a great way to create pictures of your intention. But it also can be as simple as putting the slip of paper on your windowsill under the moonlight for a few days.

Do that tonight, and tomorrow, I'll tell you how to make a crystal elixir and use it in an intention ritual for the new moon.

See you then!

Have a wonderful day!
