The Power Of Intention

The power of intention is about looking at your thoughts and realising they have more power than you might imagine. It has become a buzz phrase in the last few years and many people have been attracted to the principles of intention.  However, there are many people who simply don’t get it and believe if they intend something to come into their lives it should come, unfortunately it doesn’t work like this.

Here are a few principles I have learned over the last 3 -4 years about the power of intention:

1. Put emotion into your intentions

I have discovered that if I try to intend something and it doesn’t happen it’s usually because there is no real emotion behind it.  Your emotions are a big part of intending what you want in life and the more emotional you get about them the more your intentions will work out.  I believe that the emotions give the intentions more energy, when you create the energy you have momentum, when you have momentum you create a power, when you have the power you are listened to, when you are listened to you will achieve your goals.This is perhaps the biggest single barrier to not achieving your desires. You have to give your desires and visualizations energy and to create the energy put some emotion into it.

2. Give the reasons why

Giving the reasons why you want your intentions to come to you is something else that a lot of people don’t do.  This will help with giving your intentions more emotion and knowing, from a place deep within, that you really deserve this intention.

3. The more you use it the more it works

A few people have said to me that the practice of intention doesn’t work for them. When asked what they are doing they inevitably tell me they have tried the ‘visualization thing’ for a few days and it doesn’t work for them. The power of intention is like the lottery. First of all you have to buy a ticket before you can win it. Secondly you have to buy a ticket every week to increase your chances, however slim, of winning anything. So it is with the pwoer of intention: You have to practice it everyday to gain anything from it. Unlike the lottery you always win, whether it be attracting all your goals, decreasing your stress levels through visualization, increasing you mental abilities through visualization, meeting new people along the path to your goals, you always win.

4. Give out more than you take

I believe that the power of intention is about balance in all it’s forms. If you achieve your financial goals give some back to charity or the community or offer your services free. If you achieve you goal of finding your perfect partner show gratitude by treating your partner and their family the right way. If you achieve your goal of passing your university exams make sure you use the degree wisely.

5. Show gratitude

Showing gratitude is a practice that I think everybody should partake in.  It’s not a religious thing it just silently saying ‘Thank you’ for what you have in your life at this moment.  You might not have much but believe me you have a lot more than half the people in the world, be thankful for it.  Silently thank the people in your life, the roof over your head, the job you have, the computer you have.
