This month I want to talk about intention and how intention can lead us into intuition.

You know, growing up in the UK, New Year’s Eve, we all set our intentions for the New Year and probably very few of us ended that New Year completing those intentions. Because an intention is soft, it’s gentle. It’s been described as a whisper to the Universe.

However if our intention to do something – so that’s the beginning of stirring of energy – leads to an intent then at that point we clarify what it is we want to do. It’s no longer a whisper. The intent becomes almost a clarion call. Because at that point, we add focus. We add determination. We add commitment. And if at that point, we stop, we are still going to achieve what that intent is calling for.

However, if once we set and hold our intent, then if we allow in the holding of that intent our own intuitive energy to speak to us, our own inner wisdom to speak to us, then what happens is we move from intention through intent into being guided fully in the achieving of that by our intuition.

When we stop at intent, we stop at the mind. If we allow the mind to hold the thought, as it were, go about our day-to-day, forget about outcomes. Just relax into an acceptance and knowing of what it is we’re creating, what that intent is all about, then the heart will start to speak. It will start to guide us perhaps down thought patterns we hadn’t contemplated for some time. It might guide us to read a book that someone’s recommended that we were going to get to one day, and now it’s one day. Or we may find that as we are thinking of that intent, we see something more that we hadn’t considered when we first held that intent.

And when we allow that process to occur, then what we are doing becomes heart-led.
