Dear
As you get ready to enter 2025, have you considered setting an
intention to guide your path for the year?
Here is our simple guide to assist you.
Prepare: Gather a few art materials and set up your
space.
Meditate: Sit quietly, focus on your breath, and contemplate the terrain of your life over the past year. Notice where you are right now, and what you are seeking.
Consider the
questions:
- What is my intention?
- What is coming in to form in my life and how can I help it along?
- What do I
desire?
Art: Get your art materials and respond to what has arisen from your reflection. Work intuitively, following your creative impulses. Don’t worry if it doesn’t make sense just yet. Take in your image, with your eyes and heart, and notice what you see and feel.
Write: Do some free-writing. Then write your intention in the present tense, as though it is already happening. Distill it down to its essence, so it is easy to remember.
Activate: Find a posture that
reflects your intention, and state your intention (out loud) like you mean it! This will help you embody it.
Revisit: Return to your art, your intention on a regular basis.
