Setting an intention means deciding what you’d like to explore, heal, or release during your session—without forcing a specific outcome. It could be something like “I want to understand my sadness,” or “I’m ready to let go of fear,” or even “Show me what I need to see.”

This small act of preparation helps align your conscious mind with the deeper emotional or spiritual work that ketamine often brings to the surface. Your intention doesn’t need to be perfect. Sometimes the right words come just before the session—or even during it.

Before your appointment, you might reflect quietly, journal, or meditate on a question or theme. If your mind is too busy or unsure, that’s okay too. Simply stating “I’m open to the experience” can be enough.

The goal isn’t to control what happens. It’s to enter the session with curiosity, compassion, and readiness to meet whatever arises. After the session, your intention can help guide your integration work and deepen your understanding of what came up.
