How you use intention to untangle the root of what distracts and derails you is different than how you typically work with intention—because you are working with a karmic knot.

Your intention will not (typically) be a prayer to acquire or achieve something. 

(Your practice of mantra—and your intention for your practice of mantra—is not about Sacred gift-giving. It is not about “leveraging the Universe” for your own aims.) 

That type of intention will create (or perpetuate) karma. 

It will set things in motion that your soul will then seek to resolve.

And, from a tantric perspective, you will be bound to that karma—the natural consequences of your intentions and goals (without knowing the full extent of what that means right now).

The type of intention that will metabolize your karma is of a different sort. 

It is an expression of your root-source desire.

And a request for sacred intervention.

To unhook you from the pattern that binds you.

It is a laying bare. 

A handing over. 

A request for insight or revelation. 

An unburdening. 

Or a confrontation of truth.

That interrupts the pattern of your karma.

You do that moment by moment—using what is present in the moment. 

(This is really important—and why so many of your practices and approaches are likely not reaching it. The present moment is outside of your karma—and therefore, where you untangle it.)

Your present moment intention can be an inquiry, a request, or a curiosity. 

But it is simple—and it cuts to the root of it. 

When you lay this type of intention on your practice, it takes you beyond your constant and conscious ego desires—to connect you with the truth of what you really want: 

Your root-source desire. 

The one that is the fabric of your longing—and therefore will satisfy your longing. 

That is no longer a substitute, or a placebo, or a half measure, for what’s calling in your heart and aching in your bones. 

And it will catch exactly what’s happening in and through you—and offer you what you need. 

In a way that is both subtle and deep—and precisely calibrated.

(It will not send you meandering.)

Through the sound energy of your mantra and this type of simple, root-truth, present-moment intention:

You access that vast sacred container—of the field of all possibilities.

You connect to the dance of the sacred force of creation. 

You attune to the wisdom of its rhythm and its flow. 

And you say, Teach Me. 

Its wisdom becomes your wisdom. 

Its will becomes your will. 

Its action becomes your action. 

And things change. 

Beyond your wildest imagination.  

This way of working with intention is an artform, not a formula. 

But there are techniques that will help you cultivate the art of setting highly effective root-source, present-moment intentions for your practice. 

So that you can intentionally use it to untangle the root of what’s distracting and derailing you from the work that wants to come through you. 

I share these techniques with you in Your Root-Source Truth: An Intention-Setting Workshop to Untangle the Root of What Distracts & Derails You

In this live, 90-minute workshop, you will:

• learn 3 types of intentions that will most powerfully and effectively untangle the root of what’s distracting and derailing you;

• practice setting your root-source, present-moment intention;

• practice using your intention + your personal mantra to receive the wisdom of whatever arises; and

• receive my insight + guidance to set the most effective intention for you (live + via Voxer or WhatsApp for 10 days following)

You will work directly with your personal mantra, and you will leave knowing how to use intention to untangle the root of what distracts and derails you moment by moment. 

It’s a skill set.

And, once you have developed this skill set, you cannot lose it. 

It is yours. (Just like the mantra is yours.)
