morning intention setting

Why should you set an intention?

Setting an intention is a power move. It’s a way to bring clarity, meaning and purpose to the day, hour, and beyond.

Setting intentions help you get clear about why you are doing something (clarity), understand why it’s important to you (meaning), and see and believe how it moves you closer to your values (purpose).

Remember, an intention is a starting place, something to reflect on.

You can ask yourself to become awake to the possibility of your intention and to begin practicing it.

As long as we are creating, we are cultivating meaning.

Cultivating meaning is intention and intention is part of wholehearted living. 

Morning Intention Setting

This is a prayer that I learned from my mentor, Sierra Bender.

This is a self-care tool that you can use every morning as a reminder to trust and honor your inner wisdom.

To begin, come to a standing posture.

Bring your hands to heart center and take an inhale and exhale.

Float your hands up above your crown chakra and say ‘May I know my truth’

Bring your hands in front of your eyes and say ‘May I see my truth’

Bring your hands in front of your heart and say ‘May I feel my truth’

Make your way down into ‘Childs Pose’ and say ‘May I walk my truth’

‘May I have the strength, perseverance and courage to follow and honor my own path’.
