Power Up Your Intention


Energy follows intention, and we know that visualization works:

Imagine yourself pumping iron, and the same neurons fire as if you're actually doing it. You will be more effective the next time you pump iron than if you hadn't visualized it in the interim. #science

Olympians do this. Be the Olympian of your own inner work.

Every bit of energy you direct toward your desire brings you closer, and symbolism is a powerful tool for shifting your subconscious in the same direction.

There may be a pre-existing ritual that meets your needs — you can add your voice and energy to that, or you can create your own.

*

What symbols represent where you're at and where you want to be?

You might consider the elements - earth, air, fire, water, ether.

You might consider ancient symbols that have cultural or esoteric significance for you or your position.

You might consider family heirlooms, or imagery, or nature — symbols of life and death and change and growth.

You might focus these on an altar, or in a ceremony or ritual — one-offs or regular, short-term or long.

You might join an old tradition, or start a new one.

As with most things in life, there's no real "right way", and it's up to you how you do it.
