This is just what I find so beautiful in all this, it is so individualistic--meaning what works for each of us is what works. Great interchange here!
I personally use the "preamble" precisely for the reason you mention David, it puts me in a real good mindset for my intentions. With this or some other similarly focused wording leading to my intention, it's a bit like a short meditation--because it's the same wording each time, until I change it.
Look at all the different sorts of spiritual practices that use just that to jangle practitioners out of their every day attentions---prayer, meditation, chanting, singing, icons or candles, special housing or environments (churches, temples, gathering places, sacred places). There's huge historical power in all of this, in my opinion.
Great stuff!
