Today’s episode is a chance to dance through some of the areas we explore in the Season Retreats.
These retreats are all about INTENTION SETTING.
Each one designed to help us consider what it is we wish to draw to us over the coming season.
An intention is a feeling that arises that informs a SHORT, POSITIVE statement in the PRESENT tense as though it is already happening. Today I share some of the neuroscience behind why intention setting works and a simple practice for feeling into your own intention.
We'll also explore how to create and use an affirmation or mantra that you can use every day - or throughout your day - to help you shape your experience.
You may have specific changes you’re contemplating right now. In which case, aligning your intention with the outcome you desire can be a really powerful way of supporting yourself in managing that change in the most beneficial way.
Or it may be you'd like to honour how you want to be feeling over the coming months. And you may choose to craft an intention that helps you shape what that feeling is, and how it is to be with it.
And if you don’t have something specific, that’s ok too - this art is a gentle one. A beautiful intention can simply be the METTA, or loving kindness meditation of: “I am safe, I am well, I am happy, I live with ease”.
During the episode I share a short reflective exercise that is best done when you're somewhere you can rest, close your eyes and feel into whatever arises.
With love
