NEW YEAR’S INTENTIONS
Resolutions are not my favorite, but intentions are! Each year I set an intention and speak the intention into a shell. I then throw the shell into the ocean and ask for support and guidance from Mother Earth and all that is. I invite you to enjoy this practice as you set your own intentions for love, success, and joy this year. Find something beautiful from nature that inspires you; a shell, a rose, a crystal Hold nature in your hands and close your eyes. Breathe deeply and visualize what you wish to create this year. Now identify the feeling associated with the visualization and allow the feeling to become your intention. Speak your intention into your hands and the beautiful piece of nature that you have chosen. Offer your shell, flower, or crystal to the ocean, the mountains, or your favorite scenic vista; a place that is special to you. Take a mental picture of the scene, the feeling, and the intention and carry it into your heart and daily meditations this year. With Love and Gratitude, Desi
