The Power of Intention
Intention is the most important force behind every ritual. It determines the course of our practice and motivates us to take action. Setting intentions is similar to creating a life roadmap and having a clear vision of what we want to achieve in our ritualistic practice.
The power of intention stems from its ability to assist us in focusing on our desires and developing meaning behind rituals. Think of intention as a battery needed to charge tools, such as a candle, oil, or crystal grid. All of these tools have the ability to empower our lives, but without charging them with the intention, they will remain idle. Your intentions are you; they're what you express to the Universe. Any energy that you send out, the Universe mirrors back to you. It's important to understand your intentions when performing rituals to help guide you through the process and tap into your abilities to manifest your desires.

How to Set Intentions
Setting intentions can be performed anytime, anywhere. Some intentions are large, while others are small, and it's important to practice settings all forms of intentions to strengthen your abilities and the power of intention.
It's beneficial to make intention setting a daily practice. Every day, create a clear idea of what you want to experience. It can be helpful to incorporate a ritual, such as lighting a candle, or creating a crystal grid specifically for each day, to help empower your current intentions.
As you light a candle, recite your intentions out loud, write them down, or simply think them in your mind. The candle acts as an amplifier that helps empower your intentions, magnify them, and kick-start them into manifesting into your reality.
A crystal grid can also be helpful for creating an energy vortex created from your intentions, helping you draw in energy that enables your intentions to manifest.
Our prosperity and abundance candles and crystal grids can help you unlock your true potential and perform a ritual that aligns you with the flow of the universe. Candles, crystal grids, and oils all hold their own energies that can be used to boost the intentions of your desires.
Create a ritual for intention setting that works for you and your schedule. If you're more energized and present during the morning, perform the ritual then. If you have more energy and feel more clarity in the evening, then perform the ritual at night.
You don't have to "try" to set intentions; you just do. Stating what you intend is simple and shouldn't be strenuous; if you find yourself struggling while setting intentions, then this is a sign that you are dealing with resistance and should work towards allowing yourself to believe these intentions are possible for you.
“Our intention creates our reality.”
Challenges in Achieving Intentions
When performing an intention ritual, it's important not to get discouraged if you don't see the results you seek immediately. When you set an intention, especially one that is life-changing, there must be certain events that transpire in your current life to allow you to experience these desires. Manifestation allows you to create change within the physical reality, but we still have to work within the confines of time and space.
For instance, if you're trying to manifest a new job and set the intention that you have your own successful business, if you're currently working for someone else, events must take place to create the opportunity for you to create your business. Maybe your job will go through changes that cause you to make efforts towards finding something else, or you may meet someone that offers you the opportunity to start your business.
Rituals are powerful and wonderful for manifestation, and it's important to allow these practices to develop in divine timing, presenting you with your desires when it most benefits you. The power of intention is within you.
Tools for Achieving Intentions
Your thoughts have tremendous power and serve as the foundation for your beliefs and actions. Reprogramming your mind entails deliberately focusing on what you want to create rather than what you don't want to create. More positive energy will be directed into the Universe, assisting you in manifesting your desired outcome.
Furthermore, when reprogramming your mind, it is critical to maintaining awareness of yourself by remaining mindful and aware of the present moment. This will aid in eliminating any fear-based thought patterns that may prevent the manifestation of your intention.
Scripting is a tool for strengthening the link between your thoughts and actions, allowing you to achieve desired results more easily and successfully. Scripting makes our goals concrete and attainable by utilizing the power of visualization. We can begin to see how these goals fit into our current reality by writing them out in detail - what needs to be done in order for them to be achieved? What materials are required? We can focus on each individual part of the process rather than being overwhelmed by its entirety by breaking down our vision into small actionable steps.
Intentional power is a potent force. It enables us to imagine and realize our dreams, goals, and desires. However, it can be difficult to maintain our focus on our intentions over time. As a result, affirmations can be a powerful tool for empowering and maintaining positive intentions in life.
Affirmations are a type of self-talk that aids in reprogramming our subconscious mind. Exercising them daily or multiple times throughout the day can help keep your mind focused on what you want to accomplish rather than being distracted by outside noise. Affirmations can also remind us that we have control over our lives and that we are capable of greatness if we put in the effort.

Strengthen Your Intuition
You can use these tools, in tangent with candles, manifestation jars, and crystal grids, to help create tremendous energetic change within your life.
An intention is an affirmative statement of desire, an inner guidance that guides our decisions and behavior in the direction of achieving something meaningful in life. It provides us with the energy and motivation we need to move forward with confidence and determination. When you set an intention, you are laying the energetic groundwork for the future you want.
When speaking intentions or affirmations, you can strengthen these statements by speaking, thinking, or writing them in the present moment. You experience everything in the present, and you will experience your desires manifest in the present moment as well. Visualize your intentions as if they're happening right now; feel them, hear them, and see them happening in the now. Learning to direct your intentions from the perspective of already having these desires helps open the pathways to experiencing them fully.
