Purpose Pow Wow

Today let's look at another of the 14 Power Tools for Living On Purpose -- Purpose Pow Wows.

A Purpose Pow Wow is a great way to combine some of the positive attributes of a Purpose Practice and Purposeful Pivoting with the Universal Laws of Attraction and Purposeful Creating.

I recommend conducting a Pow Wow whenever you have a new Purpose Project that you want to launch as well as for anything that seems to have lost its juice or when you feel your enthusiasm waning.

They are also great to do for the pure fun and joy of doing one.

Start by picking a quiet, serene setting that you enjoy and in which you feel good. Take whatever actions necessary to raise your energy level to one of joy, satisfaction and fulfillment - even bliss. This could include taking a brisk walk, listening to uplifting music, playing with your pet, etc.

Take a moment to become clear on the focus and intention of the Pow Wow. You may even want to write it down to bring more clarity.

Now, take a few moments to breathe deeply, and with each long, slow breath, feel your body relaxing. Continue like this until you feel peaceful and serene, yet alert.

Next, bring your attention to the intention of the Pow Wow. You might even want to state your intention out loud or in your mind. What do you truly want from this intention? What does it look and feel like upon completion. If it were to really turn out beyond your wildest dreams, what would happen and what would you be experiencing?

Hold onto the vision of this for several minutes, continuing to create and expand it, while at the same time holding the results lightly in your hands as though they were a fragile bird. In this way you release any attachments you may have to the results while still holding the intention of them.

Purposefully Play in this way for several minutes, allowing your spirit to soar. If any thoughts or feelings of a distracting or disempowering nature arise, see them like a hot air balloon rising to the surface of your consciousness, and then release them gently to drift away. Focus on your vision for what is possible.

After 10-15 minutes, allow yourself to return to the present moment, energized and refreshed, knowing that even now the perfect resources are coming to you for the fulfillment of your intention.
