Intentions: Why Do They Matter?
Greetings all! Have you ever heard people say "set your intentions?" Now that spirituality and meditation is growing, lots of people are throwing the phrase around. But do you really know what it means? I didn't at first. And there is a more deeper meaning to it than meets the eye (so to speak) than doing it for a simple meditation or prayer. Your intentions are your integrity. They are what you're really meaning to do and accomplish from doing so. Use that as a formula for when you are making your intentions: -What place are you coming from when making this choice? -What are you desiring to accomplish from doing so? So intentions could be coming from surface emotions, like anger or jealously and intending to hurt someone and feel satisfied from doing so. When intentions come from the heart, from love, then what you are trying to accomplish is something of service, not expecting anything in return, at least not in a Self-serving ego mann
