How to Set an Intention

For me, setting an intention isn’t about forcing a mindset, it’s about centering, noticing, and aligning.

First, I take a moment to centre myself. Before deciding what I want to call in, I ask a simple question:

“How am I showing up for myself right now?”

It’s important to see where I’m actually sitting, emotionally, physically, and energetically, before I try to shift anything.

From there, I’ll turn to whatever tool feels right in that moment. Often, that’s crystals, I use them much like runes, as tactile prompts that help me access intuition and awareness. I take a breath, recentre, and reflect on the situation I’m seeking clarity around. Then I ask:

“What do I truly want to draw in?”

When I feel ready, I go with the first stone or symbol I’m drawn to, without overthinking. The key is to let the subconscious mind guide you, rather than letting the conscious mind analyze or question the process.

That’s because, on a scientific level, intention setting works through the same pathways as epigenetics. Our subconscious patterns influence how our body responds to the world. By consciously setting intention, we begin to rewire those responses, gently teaching the body and brain what safety, clarity, and alignment feel like.

Remember:

Energy goes where intention flows.
