The Power of Intention to Release
Every transformation begins with an ending. We cannot carry the weight of the past and still expect to step fully into the light of what is calling us forward.
This is why release is the first act of transformation.
Release does not mean abandoning who you are or erasing your story. It means creating space. It is the conscious decision to put down the burdens, beliefs and patterns that no longer serve your growth and to trust that life will meet you with what is needed next.
And here is the truth: release doesn’t happen on its own. It happens through intention.
When you set the intention to release, you signal to your whole being: I am ready for more light. I am ready to clear the space for what is true. Even if the process feels uncomfortable, intention steadies your heart and reminds you why you are letting go.
Think of it as preparing the soil before planting a garden. The clearing makes way for new growth.
In the Living As Light journey, this is the first threshold; an invitation to name what you are carrying and choose, with intention, to release it. Whether it is an outdated belief, a fear that holds you back or simply the heaviness of trying to control what cannot be controlled, release is an act of freedom.
Reflection for you right now: What are you ready to set down so that you can walk lighter? Take a breath, set an intention and trust that letting go is an act of love
The Power of Intention to Receive
Once we release, we enter a sacred pause – a moment of openness where something new can flow in.
This is where receiving becomes the next step in transformation.
Receiving is not passive. It is an intentional posture of the heart. It is choosing to trust that life, spirit, and the universe are always moving toward your good even when you can’t yet see how.
The truth is, many of us find receiving harder than giving. We resist blessings because we feel unworthy or we close the door to support because we fear losing control. Intention shifts this. When we set the intention to receive, we create space for miracles to enter.
Receiving can look like listening for inner guidance, allowing yourself to be supported by others or opening to the beauty and synchronicity of everyday life.
In Living As Light this is the stage where we soften into trust. The program invites you to notice how life is already offering you nourishment and guidance and to practice saying yes,
Reflection for You: Where in your life do you sense an invitation to receive? Pause, breath and set an intention to allow yourself to be blessed.
The Power of Intention to Embody
Release clears the space. Receiving fills it with light. Then comes the most vital step: embodiment.
To embody transformation is to live it. Not as an idea but as a daily practice. It is choosing, moment by moment, to align your words, actions and presence with the light that now moves through you.
This is where intention becomes visible. Every small choice to act with love, to return to peace, to speak truth – these are the ways transformation takes root. Embodiment is not about perfection; it is about persistence. It is about returning, again and again, to the intention that guides your path.
In the Living As Light journey, embodiment is the flowering. It is the place where you begin to recognize that light is not something outside of you – It is who you are. Your intention to embody makes that truth tangible in the world.
Reflection for You: How can you embody your intentions today -in your conversations, your choices, your presence? Let your life become a living expression of your transformation.
Closing this series
Every state – Release, Receive and Embody – is woven through with the transformative power of intention. Without intention, change drifts. With intention, transformation becomes inevitable.
The Living As Light journey is an invitation to walk this path with presence, courage and trust. If you feel called, let your first intention be simple: to begin.
