Intention is one of the simplest ways to shift your vibration — and one of the most overlooked.
It’s not wishing, hoping, or crossing your fingers.
It’s choosing the energy you want to bring into an experience and sending a clear signal to your mind and the field around you.
Intention is purpose.
Intention is direction.
Intention is energetic leadership.
What an Intention Really Is
An intention is a clear decision about what you want to experience or bring forward.'
It sounds like:
“I choose calm today.”
“I intend for this session to be helpful.”
“I bring clarity into this conversation.”
It shifts you out of autopilot and into deliberate energy.
Why Intention Works: The Brain + Vibration Connection
1. Intention activates your Reticular Activating System (RAS)
Your RAS is the filter in your brain that decides what gets your attention. It filters by FOCUS.
When you set an intention, you’re basically giving your RAS a command:“Show me more of this.”
If you intend to find gratitude, you’ll start noticing things to appreciate.If you intend clarity, you’ll start spotting solutions.
Your RAS brings your intention into your awareness again and again.
2. Intention keeps what matters “top of mind”
Before I see clients, I stack their folders and set an intention for the work we’ll do that day. I ask to be guided. I ask to be inspired.I ask to be helpful.
That intention shifts my focus. It tells my mind what matters and helps me show up fully instead of letting the day “just happen.”
3. Intention shapes your vibration
Intentions aren’t just mental. They’re energetic.
When you choose what you want to feel or create, your vibration reorganizes to match it. Your field aligns. Your body relaxes. Your emotional state shifts.
A clear intention is like setting your internal frequency.
4. Intention sends a clear signal into the field
The moment you choose a direction, your energy broadcasts it. This influences the experiences, people, and opportunities you attract.
You become a match for the thing you intend.

How to Set an Intention (Simple Method)
Pick what you want to experience.
Write 1–3 clear sentences.
Close your eyes and feel it in your body.
Imagine that feeling infusing the experience, space, or object.
Release it with trust.
That’s all — and it works because both your energy and your brain respond instantly.
Intention is how you give your energy direction. It focuses your mind, organizes your vibration, and calls in the experiences that match your chosen frequency.
Intentions don’t force outcomes.
They ALIGN you with them.
