The Power of Intention
September 1st, 2008 Posted by Sarah MariaOkay – so I am almost finished with my first book! This means that I am going to start blogging – consistently. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to post here and look forward to a dialogue.
So I want to first explore the whole concept of intention. I propose that when we are stuck in negative, self-limiting beliefs, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors toward ourselves, we actually disempower intention and the ability to manifest what we want in our lives.
I like Wayne Dyer’s conceptualization of intention as a field. Intention is a field, a constant force that animates and expresses everything in the universe.
We are always connected to intention by virtue of emanating from it. We can, however, either strengthen or weaken our connection to it by virtue of who we are and how we behave. If we become more like this field of intention, we increase our connection to it. If we become less like it, we weaken our connection to it.
This field of intention is by its very nature all-accepting and all-inclusive. It accepts everything and everyone because it is creates everything and everyone.
So if we dislike ourselves: if we dislike our bodies and our appearance, if we disapprove of who we are and have become on any level, we disconnect with this field of intention. What this means is our intentions lose some of their power. We weaken our ability to manifest our dreams and desires.
In order to strengthen our connection to intention we must become more like intention. Since two of the attributes of intention are all-accepting and all-inclusive, when we become this way toward ourselves and everyone around us, we enhance our connection to intention. As we strengthen and enhance our connection to intention, we can increase our ability to manifest what we want in our lives and in the world. When we truly love and accept ourselves as we are, we can begin to create the life of our dreams.
