Setting Intentions . . .

Life seems to squeezing us in so many ways right now. A bit like a pressure cooker that is amplifying the intensity of heat to shorten the cooking process time.

It is uncomfortable... activating... transformative.

And it takes immense focus, trust in a higher purpose, and ultimately an experience of surrendering to the flow of life to stay in alignment in such a squeeze.

Last week I invited you in this blog post / email to go behind the scenes with me energetically as I prepare for a Retreat in November as Pluto enters Aquarius. We looked at Visualizing and I shared a moment of my own process.

Today, we look at setting intentions... a powerful practice to apply at any time, but especially now when we are in "The Unknown" spaces.

Allow my moment here to inspire you to set intentions in your own journey, if you don't already have a practice.

The New Moon in Libra offers the perfect energy to set an intention grid for my November retreat.

Standing in front of my altar in my office, I realize a little cleaning up first is necessary! Turning on "The Will" by St. Finnikin, I dust off the old incense pile, move photos and crystals, shake clean the Flower of Life mat.

I pick up my Light Seers Tarot deck, close my eyes as I shuffle the cards, steady my feet on the carpet, and tune into my intention for November.

As many times as I pull cards, there's always a little thrill of energy that moves through me to see how my intention / energy will look visually in the deck I choose.

First one - the King of Wands!

I giggle in delight, YES! Perfection!

Masculine energy - staff planted in protection and fearlessness, claiming his strength, with the lion standing powerfully at his back.

"A natural born leader, creative visionary"

"We build this Empire of Light together"

Closing my eyes again, I tune back in...

​Second one - the Knight of Wands!

Omggg! "The Knight of Wands gallops along a beach on her stallion and they charge full steam ahead towards that passion project that she's been dreaming about.

But wait, what is that in the distance? A campfire? A beach party? Full stop. She's nothing if she's not spontaneous, and whatever it is, it looks like an adventure waiting to happen."

Come on?! My November event is at a house ON the beach with a firepit that I intend to put to good use ceremonially! And a dance party is FOR SURE!

I sigh in pure bliss... it is happening energetically already. 

The bonus of this card is the balance of feminine energy and movement that it brings to the powerful stillness of the King of Wands card. Freedom flowing through as she plays the drum and manifests her dreams!

Carefully selecting the crystals that call to me from my collection, I place each one with intention on the grid.

The clam at the center from one of my first plant medicine ceremonies, originally collected at a Florida beach years before it made its way to me. Once filled with sand, now emptied through years of meditating and moving energy in sessions with me.

Two purple amethysts energetically holding space and protecting the event container now through the time I return November 22nd. One small stone for each of the participants, magnetizing Soul Reunions here on Earth.

The Intention Grid is activated... my Soul smiles, my heart expands, my body is now dancing to the music! 

Six more weeks!
