I find that many times my intention is not always inline with who I am and what I want to attract. I find myself saying I want this I want that and then I’m putting out the intention of what I want and end up attracting what I don’t’ want. Oooopsssss! Ouch!
So what I’ve learned and still learning is that my wants can be wants forever. Just because I want something it doesn’t mean I’ll get it. Wishing and hoping is just that – wishing and hoping. In other words I can want a brand new Jag and lay around thinking about it and it’s just going to show up, NOT. What is my intention to desiring and acquiring that Ice Blue with white leather interior XK jag? Notice the difference from just wanting a Jag to the color and type of Jag I am getting. The more detailed and feelings I connect with my desired outcome, whatever it is, an item, more clients or anything, it’s in the details that are put into place that assist me in my intention to attracting what I require to attain my desired outcome.
If my intention is very clear on what I’m desiring in my life I will attract things into my life that will assist me in bringing my intentions into reality. What starts the ball rolling is that I am thinking from the end. When I have a specific, very specific, desire I start thinking about how it would FEEL to have the outcome as if it was in my possession now. By doing this I am automatically taking the steps necessary to achieve my goal. I will make decisions that have the end results in mind which keeps me moving towards my goal at all times. (I’ll talk more about this later in the next blog post.)
EX: Last night I went to a sweat lodge as an official apprentice as a fire tender. I was excited and passionate about fire tending that it was written on every calendar and all I could think about until the night arrived. I showed up early ready for my new experience and connected with the area and surroundings of the sweat lodge in silence. I already knew in my heart and mind how things were going to play out. I had a picture of how I would place the wood, the rocks and everything that went along with fire tending.
When my mentor arrived I was ready. First thing he says you will observe tonight and I was like _ “I did that last time – OK I understand I am here to learn and you are my teacher and I will observe” Jose looked at me turned closed his eyes and shortly said “OK, it is called to me that you participate in this ceremony” ((In my mind I’m like YES-YES!) but kept my coooool. ))
As things progressed in the early part of the preparation he turned and looked at me and said “This is your fire this is your lodge tonight you as the fire tender, you will work with the chief and I will assist and advise you along the way” WOW, how cool was that – My intention was there and I attracted what I desired without asking. (I did ask all month with my visual and heartfelt intention to attracting what I desired.) I followed Jose’s direction and he himself put me where I saw myself for the entire prior month as Fire Tender. My intention attracted my desired outcome.
Was everything perfect and did I remember everything from a prior lesson and from observing other fires before? NO! But I became a Fire Tender last night as I had seen myself so many times in the last month. I learned a lot and have a lot more to learn and totally ready to embrace it all.
This works in every aspect of your life in every intention you have. The questions is – Do you believe in your desired outcome and do you really FEEL it as in your possession today, already here and already yours? Following your heart is following your spirit and when you do that your intentions will attract more of what you want rather than what you don’t want.
What is your Intention? What will you attract?
