Setting Intentions

WITH MELANIE MORENO

Now it's time for us to set our intentions before we begin!

You can set your intention based on something you want to work on or remember when you wear your mala, it can be something you'd like to manifest, or you can choose based off the stones being used.

There's no wrong way to set an intention!
