The New Moon is a time of new beginnings and an opportunity to get clear about what intentions you might be for the next month. You can see like a time to place your order with the Universe!

After several decades of writing wishes, I have found that some have manifested rather quickly, while others have taken years with a few not at all and others not at all how I had anticipated!! ( Giving up sugar the first time comes to mind) SO obviously, no guaranteed outcomes of any kind here.

I often view "how to do" as guidelines, instead of rules, so with that in mind, here are some my guidelines on how to write out new moon intentions. AS always do what resonates and aligns with you.

Start be reflecting carefully, over what you might like to achieve or manifest in the next 30 days. This is a step that many might consider glossing over, however, carefully thought through intentions, actually have a much better chance of manifesting into the 3rd dimensional realm, than do those that are hasty thought through. The exception would be an intuitive thought, which usually comes through in a random fashion.
Hand writing our intentions is the ideal. Writing by hand has a very powerful and grounding effect to the intention, as our hands, serve as an extension to our Heart space, which serves as the zero point connection in our bodies. In addition, by also stating them out loud, you get the power of the intention magnified.
Stating clear snd concise intentions is the ideal.
Keep the list to around 8-10 intentions per month. All need to pertain to YOU and what you want to achieve or manifest.
Single and simply stated intentions are the best. Avoid compound intentions, where you are asking for two things in one intention.
The ideal is to write your intentions one the first day of the New Moon, however the next day is fine as well.
Trust your intuition when it comes to writing out the intention..ie..how to word it, and what to ask for.
Be aware of what you believe. Beliefs in of themselves can be very limiting. So, if you do not believe you will get your wish, then not as likely to manifest.

I have learned through experience, to be open and embrace what comes. I truly believe that what every does or does not manifest is for our highest and greatest good, whether we like it or not. And you can state that, when you write out your intentions.

Keeping a notebook that has all your monthly intentions is really handy. With a notebook, you can go back and reference what you have previously written and see what may or may not have manifested.

You also might find you want to restate an intention/wish again the following month, especially if it has not yet manifested. So have fun, putting your intentions out to the universe! And as away she mindful of what your requesting from the Universe. Happy manifesting!!
