activating healing energy with intention

Hi beautiful souls.

I recently started leading a full moon writing circle with friends with the intention to learn about the full moon energy and how it impacts us. I have always loved writing and wanted to step into the role of writing workshop leader for a while. This seemed like a fun way to blend my healing work with writing and so I jumped right in.

A few months into the practice of meeting regularly, I took a day to reflect on whether there were any changes in my life with this new writing ritual. Looking back at my journal I was amazed at how powerful it was to use the moon energy to let go of limiting beliefs and set new intentions. But how was this so? How did the moon impact me? Hadn't I been through hundreds of full moons with no effect? My entire lifetime, every month, the full moon came and went and it did nothing to me.So I contemplated these questions and this is what I discovered: Just as tuning forks need to be consciously activated to produce healing sounds, and Reiki practitioners and recipients must set the intention to open up energy flow, the energy of the full moon can be harnessed through intentional activation. By striking the metaphorical cord with the intention to heal, we invite the healing potential of every experience and pattern in our lives. Through this process, we can release what no longer serves us, let go of limiting beliefs, and create space for love and joy to enter.

How Intentions Get Activated:

1. Conscious Awareness: Activating intentions starts with conscious awareness. We must recognize the opportunity for healing and growth in our daily lives, such as overreactions, repeated patterns, or moments where we could have done better. By being present and aware, we open ourselves up to the potential for transformation.

2. Setting Clear Intentions: Once we are aware of the healing potential, we need to set clear intentions to activate it. By consciously stating our intention to heal, let go, and create positive change, we align ourselves with the energy that supports our intentions. This clarity of intention helps to direct our focus and energy towards our desired outcomes.

3. Openness and Receptivity: Activation of intentions also requires openness and receptivity. Just as the recipient of Reiki energy must be open to receiving it, we need to be open to the possibilities and opportunities for healing and growth that present themselves. By cultivating a mindset of openness, we create a space for the energy to flow and bring about the desired transformation.

Intentions get activated through conscious awareness, setting clear intentions, and cultivating openness and receptivity. By striking the cord of intention, we tap into the healing potential that exists in every moment and experience. With an intentional approach to healing, we can let go of what no longer serves us, release limiting beliefs, and create space for love and joy to enter our lives. Ultimately, the power to activate intentions lies within us, and through this process, we can embark on a transformative journey of healing and growth.

With Love,

the path

Hey there, beautiful soul.

Intention paves the road ahead. It has no destination or time frame. You get there when you get there.

As long as you keep walking, you will be on your journey, moving forward.

When we talk about intentions paving the road ahead, we acknowledge that our intentions set the course for our lives. They act as a guiding force, helping us align our actions and decisions with what truly matters to us. Intentions are not limited by rigid plans or fixed outcomes; instead, they provide a sense of direction and purpose as we navigate through life.

One important aspect of intentions is that they have no predetermined destination or time frame. It's not about reaching a specific point but rather about the journey itself. We embark on our path with a clear intention, and as long as we keep walking, we are making progress. This understanding takes away the pressure of achieving certain milestones and allows us to enjoy the present moment, knowing that every step we take contributes to our growth and evolution.

On our path, distractions are bound to arise. We may be tempted by shiny objects or lured away by fleeting desires. These diversions can take us off course, leading us further away from our true intentions. However, the beauty lies in the fact that we can always reset our intention and realign ourselves. It's a gentle course correction that reminds us of our purpose and brings us back on track. We don't need to dwell on how we strayed or feel guilty about it; we simply refocus our energy and continue moving forward.

With time and experience, we develop a deep trust in our path. We recognize the signs and signals that indicate we are on the right track. Our path feels smooth and paved, and we feel a sense of ease and alignment as we walk upon it. Conversely, when we step onto the grass or dirt outside of our path, we feel it. We become finely attuned to the sensations in our body and intuition, which let us know when we have veered off course. This heightened awareness enables us to course correct effortlessly and with grace.

The power of intentions lies in their ability to shape our reality and bring clarity to our journey. By taking a moment to reflect on the intentions we have set for ourselves, we can assess if they still resonate with who we are and what we truly want. It's an opportunity for self-discovery and self-alignment, allowing us to make conscious choices that support our growth and fulfillment.

Ultimately, the road we walk is unique to each of us, and intentions serve as our guiding compass. They help us navigate the twists and turns, overcome obstacles, and stay focused on what truly matters. With intention as our guide, we can create a purposeful and meaningful path that aligns with our values, aspirations, and desires.

With Love, Maria

distinguishing between desire + intention: the power of conscious living

Hello beautiful soul.

In our journey through life, it is crucial to discern between desire and intention. The ability to distinguish between these two forces allows us to live consciously and manifest the lives we envision for ourselves and our families. While desire originates from the heart, intention serves as a powerful guiding force that aligns our actions with our deepest aspirations. By understanding the disparity between desire and intention, we can embark on a path of conscious living and tap into our true potential.

1. Unraveling the Tangle of Desire: Desire acts as a compass, pointing us towards what our hearts long to express and experience. However, the modern world bombards us with external influences that distort our desires, leading to confusion and dissatisfaction. To live intuitively, it becomes crucial to differentiate between genuine desires that emerge from our core and superficial desires imposed upon us by society. By recognizing and honoring our true desires, we can embark on a path of authentic self-discovery and fulfillment.

2. The Transformative Power of Intention: Intention acts as a guiding force that transcends fleeting desires. It aligns our actions and choices with our deepest values and aspirations. Through intention, we can embark on transformative journeys of healing, growth, and self-discovery. Setting a sincere and heartfelt intention to heal a particular aspect of our lives propels us towards experiences, people, and opportunities that support our journey. Intention serves as a lighthouse, illuminating our path and helping us navigate the twists and turns of life with purpose and clarity.

3. Nurturing Trust and Letting Go of Control: Sometimes, desires arise that contradict our true intentions. These moments offer valuable opportunities for self-reflection and growth. By examining the tension between desire and intention, we can identify the triggers and underlying fears that lead us towards controlling behaviors. Cultivating trust becomes essential in these moments, trusting in ourselves, in others, and in the natural flow of life. Through trust, we can relinquish control, release limiting beliefs, and embrace a more expansive and authentic way of living.

4. Aligning Intention with Parenting: Intention plays a vital role in parenting, allowing us to foster trust, understanding, and love within our relationships with our children. By setting our intention to honor and support their unique journeys, we can let go of controlling tendencies and embrace the belief that our children possess their own inner guidance system. Recognizing the difference between our desires for their lives and their own aspirations, we create a nurturing space where they can grow, explore, and flourish.

Understanding the power of intention and differentiating between desire and intention empowers us to live consciously and purposefully. By aligning our actions and choices with our true intentions, we pave the way for a fulfilling and meaningful life. As we navigate the twists and turns of our individual journeys, intention acts as our guiding compass, keeping us centered and focused on what truly matters. Let us embark on this path of intention, embracing authenticity, trust, and the infinite possibilities that unfold when we align our desires with our deepest intentions.

With Love,

Maria
