Shadow Work is a deeply personal and transformative process, filled with both challenges and triumphs. For women on this path, one powerful yet often overlooked tool is the power of intention.

Intentions are more than just goals or wishes; they are purposeful declarations that align your energy, thoughts, and actions toward a desired outcome. When harnessed effectively, intention can become the driving force behind profound personal growth and fulfilment.

Intentions are like a compass that guides your thoughts, emotions, and actions in alignment with your deepest desires. Unlike goals, which are specific and outcome-oriented, intentions focus on the essence of what you want to experience or embody in your life.

All shadow work starts with intention. Some of it is unconscious, and some of it is conscious.

The unconscious psyche intends to create patterns, beliefs and behaviours at the point of wounding, trauma and conditioning to keep you alive and safe from harm.

Then it is your conscious intention to journey to the root of these wounds so you can bring your conscious awareness to them, exploring, experiencing and understanding the complexity of how they have impacted your life and the relationship you have with yourself and others.

This brings you to the point of healing and integration.

But as always, it’s the intention of the universe aligned with your shadow, soul and psyche, to manifest the people, environments, and events that trigger the wound once again to see if you truly have learned your lesson and healed what you intended.

It’s at this precipice, a very thin line of consciousness so subtle, yet so profound that has the power to propel you forward into a new way of being, living, and relating or lurch you right back into the wounded, victim archetype.

And it begins with intention once more. The intention to consciously choose a different response rather than the old unconscious worn-out reaction.

When you consciously and intentionally choose the former, the wound you have healed at the root level will naturally unravel the pattern from the psyche, completing your integration process, so it is no longer triggered.

You will feel a shift in your consciousness awakening you to a higher level of self-awareness, so you can experience an aspect of your nature that was previously hidden from you.

And again, it is your intention to choose to explore who you are with this new level of awareness, and how you relate, love, and connect within it.

When you embrace the power of intention as your guiding light, and watch how it transforms not just your journey but the woman you become along the way, it empowers you to live a more authentic and fulfilling life, saying yes to what aligns with your values and no to what doesn’t serve your growth.

So what are you choosing to intentionally manifest and are you willing to intentionally choose to unlock and unravel the hidden wounds and patterns that stand in your way?

If the answer is yes, I invite you to book an EmpowerHer Shadow Work Session and make this next cycle in your life one where you are intentional about your growth, integration and expansion.

With Love,
