Everything that happens in the universe begins with an intention and an intention can be described as directed energy towards a desire. Intention is the creative force that makes us follow our dreams and enables us to create our reality out of our imagination.

An intention is described by Deepak Chopra as "a directed impulse of consciousness that contains the seed of what you wish to create". With an intention, we can direct our consciousness towards beginning to shape our desired reality, simply by deciding to do so.

To set a powerful intention that aligns with your highest path, there are a few things you can do. These steps will help you realize your intentions in a heart-based and fast way!

How to use:

1. Sit in a quiet place, light a candle and take out paper and pen. Tip! Have an intention book that you always use for this - the book and the intentions get extra strong energy and it's fun to be able to flip back and read everything you've manifested into your life.
   
   
2. Write down a few different categories, eg health, money, career, relationships. Take a deep breath and then write down your intentions for each category, straight from the heart. Here, it is important not to hold back, but dare to dream big and put any fears aside. Your goals should feel a little scary while also resonating with your heart's desires!
   
   
3. Once you have written down your intentions, read them out loud to yourself and take a moment after each point and feel and visualize that future and the emotions your intentions make you feel (emotions are also energy!).

In addition to these three steps, it is also good to think about being in a calm and relaxed state when writing your intentions, preferably after meditation when your thoughts have settled and you can hear your heart better. After you write down the intentions - release them. One of the most effective ways to attract anything into your life is to be clear about what you want, and then hand it over to the universe. Trust that what you desire will come to you in just the right way, and don't worry about the details. The universe has likely come up with a much better plan than you could ever have thought of on your own. A final tip is to try to set intentions based on a satisfied state, rather than based on a feeling of lack or desire. Gratitude for what you already have will cause you to vibrate at a higher level, and you send out your intentions to the universe filled with love and joy.
