Setting an intention before a sacred ceremony is essential because it provides direction and purpose for your journey. It acts as an anchor, helping you navigate the experience with clarity and focus. Intentions create a conscious framework for what you hope to receive, release, or understand, allowing the medicine to work in alignment with your personal growth.
Without an intention, the experience can feel more scattered or overwhelming. However, when you enter the ceremony with a clear heart and mind, the insights and healing that arise are often more meaningful and integrated into your life afterward. Intentions don’t control the experience but rather guide your awareness, helping you recognize the lessons, patterns, and transformations unfolding.
