My intent.
Its the most important thing you can do in your life. Start every day with a logical thought out well heard intention(s). I awaken most morning and forget. Yep, I am human. These are definitely important factors to know before you read much further. Who am I?
I am 42, a virgo, a mother, a daughter, a lover, a soon to be wife, a friend, and a fellow journeyman on this path called life. I am a celestial being having a human experience. I am being human. I have one child who is embarking on a life of collegiate affairs some 1000+ miles from me. I am very thrilled for her and yet my mothers' heart knows our time is short so every moment counts just that much more.
Back to our program! I like humor as you'll soon find out. I like to expand on the funny things that come out of peoples mouths. Not to make fun of them but to poke fun at our world. At the conditioning and auto responses of the world around that go on every day! by everyone! yes.. me included.. again see.. the human part. It also jolts the mind if I question its words and meanings? Ie.. So what you are saying is.. that your plants are the only plants on this planet that are healthy for me to consume ( or whatever.. I know that was lame but work with me here ). There is usually
What of this intent already!! I hear ya. I want to offer up a morsel I learned along the way at an intenders of the highest God circle taught by Tony Burroughs. http://www.intenders.com/ Check him out, you can find intenders circles in your area for more hands on learning. The premise of our circle was that each of us would go around and state in a systematic way what we were thankful for, what we desired to happen, and how we saw our perfect world.
Easy enough. I offer that we take this one step further. That every action in your day, in your LIFE should start with an intention. As you sit down to eat dinner at night after a long day.. say your intention. I might say, as the cook and director of many a meal, before I even pick up a the first ingredient. " I intend for this meal to provide nourishment as well as good flavor for everyone who might eat it. I intend for them to be healed with this food and that I cause no undue harm to anyone and of course it must be DELLLICIOUS!!" I like to eat you see so I want food that is good for me as well as very tasty to my taste buds that day. In doing this I organize the 50 trillion cells in my body to do just this. Its as if they all get the little notice that says.. A.) Its time to make dinner, so we'll be moving in dinner ways. B) OH she wants healthy food so the mind suddenly looks out into the world of my refrigerator or cupboard and is already wired to pick healthy choices.. C) she wants delicious! Again my brain knows what I like or it tells my taste buds your going to like this tonight!! and I gotta say.. most nights I hit the mark. Where I fall short of this.. is when I dont think about it.
This is where the majority of the world is. When simply DO NOT think about what we are doing. We do not envision the power of what we are doing, who it will affect, or how it will in time be reinterpreted by others.
Intentions do not need to be long drawn out prayer sessions. OF course they can be if that is your desire. It can be a part of your meditation or your yoga.. Though I highly recommend just giving yourself the prep-intention for both of those two events too!
It gives the body a second to slow down and align. It gives you an extra moment of brain synopsis to occur to ensure that yes " this is what I mean to say to and this is what I mean to do"
We live in a world that is so fast and yet we are blind to what we even want to accomplish in an hour, a day, a week, a year, a life time. What is your intent for today? Do you have specific things you need to get done but always wonder why they are never fulfilled. Do you need to find a specific item and get frustrated because it never shows up ? Intentions are not only for you! They allow the universal power to align to you as well. Right now you may just be some crazy electron buzzing about from one thing to the next with no real goal. Call it the work of your desire. Unless you stop and say yes that is my desire your soul has no idea. Funny huh! We are not connected with our soul? We are not connected with our fellow beings? We are not connected with our families?
So what is your goal, your wish, your desire?
What do you intend to do?
What action are you intending to elicit?
Think about it .. or if things start to go wrong.. ask yourself the questions..
What was my intention? What is my intention now?
I will caution you that if your intention is to win at a cost to another or if it is to prove someone wrong it may not be as profoundly powerful as learning to control ones own mind and body because in the end that is what its all about. Controlling yourself in a way that achieves your goals, wishes, and desires for the highest good of everyone.
yes, intentions can be used in bad ways.. it is NOT my intention though to delve into the twisted minds of those who wish to cause harm so therefore.. I wont.
see its that easy!
Namaste everyone..
Know that you are loved
