Hi friends, I’d like to share with my substack subscribers this aspiration/intention setting exercise in audio form (with contemplative questions written below as well for your meditation or journaling exercise).
This is an exercise we recorded in community on December 31, 2025, but it works just as well at any time that you need to reflect and set an aspiration or specific intentions for practice or activities in the year (or period) ahead.
We also discussed the difference between aspiration and intention, as well as the three levels of activity or practice (outer, inner and secret). More details in the audio podcast.
Thanks again so much for subscribing to The Road Home, and despite all the immense challenges the world faces right now, if we clarify our view and intention and focus on sangha (community), I’m confident the world can come through this period of selfishness and violence with greater compassion and sustainability, no matter how long it takes.
