THE 11 INTENTIONS
Invoking the Sacred Feminine as a Pathway to Inner Peace
Welcome In June of 2003, Vessels of Peace founder Lynda Terry began a weekly email essay series on The 11 Intentions, a Vessels of Peace practice for invoking the many aspects of Sacred Feminine energy. By the third essay, she knew she also was writing a book – or a book was writing itself. “The writing came through me more than from me,” Lynda says. For 11 weeks, the Vessels of Peace women received a weekly essay on one of the intentions and were inspired not just by the words, but also by the energy of the Sacred Feminine that was transmitted. From a Pennsylvania woman: “I LOVE THESE. Thank you for doing this … these [essays] get me right in the heart.” As the women continued to work with the essays, their spiritual journeys reflected the transformation occurring, and that transformative energy extended to Vessels of Peace as a whole. This book arises, therefore, out of the heart of what it is to be a vessel of peace: a woman called to walk the pathway to her peace – and then offer the fruits of that journey to help create a peaceful world. Two waves of longing have been building in the world for some time—the longing for the Sacred Feminine and the longing for peace. The 11 Intentions shows that these two longings are connected, and that they are converging in the hearts of women everywhere, right now, awakening a deeply felt inner call. The book explores how invoking and actually partnering with Sacred Feminine energy can support the individual and collective attainment of peace—how it is, in fact, an essential pathway to that attainment. The 11 Intentions is a journey you take as well as a journal in which to record your experiences along the way. Part One explores the energetic aspect of the Sacred Feminine-peace connection and the origin of the 11 Intentions practice. You will learn about the effect that invoking Sacred Feminine Presence has on both one’s cultivation of inner peace and one’s ability to manifest peace in the world. In Part Two, you work with each intention and the divine qualities each embodies, feeling this energy become more tangible and accessible. You are offered various ways to increase awareness of the energy as well as contemplations, meditations and journaling questions that are tailored specifically to each intention. Part Three helps you integrate all you have learned, providing suggestions and inspiration to continue reaping the promise of the intentions in your life. An Additional Resources section provides information for further exploration and practice. The 11 Intentions Book Now Available Through Isabella Catalogs!
