There is a cleverness inherent in connection. Remember when you've been with another person and things just clicked - you both feel it. Our brains light up when this occurs and we see connections at lightning speed. This month is ripe with moments like this. Be ready!
Set an Intention | Charge your Candle
What is an intentions? By definition it is a thing intended; an aim or plan. Clearly giving shape to our desires by conjuring an image in our mind, or stating our aim out loud gives rise to a certain forward motion which changes everything. We bring our intention into sharp focus and suddenly the steps which will bring us there come into view. You can feel it. The air around you is different. Your body becomes charges with a unique energy.
In this moment, you have the opportunity to solidify your plans.
Breathe into your belly so that it expands. Fill up and empty out at least three times. Then allow your breath to flow naturally without changing it.
Draw your mind's eye inward to the center of your hear and listen. A single word or short phrase for your intention will make itself known.
Repeat it.
Remember it
Inscribe & Hold
The soy wax of our candles is the perfect consistency for lightly inscribing your intention into its surface. Use a small twig or toothpick to etch the word or phrase for your intention into the wax. Hold the candle in both your hands. Close your eyes. Breathe. Remember. Hold the thing intended in your heart.
When you fully embody your aim, it is near impossible to miss your target.
Light
Set down your candle. Repeat your intention aloud as you light it. Breathe. Smile. Know you are on your way to achieving your goal. Leave your candle lit and perhaps write or meditate upon your intention. Offer up your gratitude when it is time to extinguish the flame.
