Setting Your Intentions
Before you start to clear clutter internally or externally it is important to set your intention, otherwise the space you clear will fill right back up with what you just cleared. That is often why piles of clutter keep returning to the same spot.
The belief under Fengshui is that energy flows where intention goes. This means that once you set your intention, energy that you release from clutter clearing internally or externally naturally flows towards what you intend.
Every six months it is an important ritual to write your intentions for the next 6 months. Intention statements include those things that you want to have happen in your life.
Include anything else that affirms what is important for you at this time, such as clarity around what you want, or feeling deserving of good in your life, any affirmation that you think is important and vital and positive for you at this time. It is important that you handwrite this statement rather than print it on a computer.
Now that you have drafted some idea of what you want to have happen, there are some important guidelines to consider when you write your intention statement.
- It needs to be in present tense as if it is already happening in your life.
- It needs to be positive, (focused on what you want, rather than what you don’t want)
- The more specific you can be, the better.
- Once you feel satisfied with your statement, double check that it is in the present tense and focuses on the positive.
Last step: write the following sentence at the bottom, “May this or something better now manifest for the greatest good of everyone concerned.” This last sentence is an opening to the universe; it asks that whatever comes to you also benefits others. Sign it and date it.
Place your intention statement somewhere special and private.
