The Power of Intention

Do you want to experience change in some important aspects of your life but setting goals and resolutions for them doesn't feel right at the moment? I might have just the thing for you. Set Intentions instead.

This New Year's Eve my celebration included making a list of intentions for 2009. I decided not to think in terms of specific goals and commitments about some big things in my life. I consciously chose to set Intentions. So instead of "My goal is to move to Europe by September 2009" I wrote: "My Intention is to move to Europe by September 2009". This just sounded so much lighter and open to possibilities and "Divine Intervention". Since moving to Europe depends for me on so many things that I only partially have control over, an intention in lieu of a goal was good enough for me.

With some uncertain and out-of-control big life stuff, a goal might be too heavy and too stressful. A goal might imply that it's only up to you to get it done and there are consequences if you don't. An Intention gives you more freedom and flexibility and opens you up for the Universe's support. And you could dream freer and bigger dreams. You could list things you feel are beyond your control, and, oh so many seem to be now. I'm not suggesting to always avoid the stress of setting goals. But with some dreams, intention might be the first step, and then when you feel ready, translate it into a goal.

I made a list of simple intentions and handed them over to the Universe. I trust it will know what to do with them. I trust it will give me what I need and in the way that's best for me. Over the years I gathered enough of "scientific" evidence from my own life and from experiences of my clients to say with absolute certainty that the process works.

Intention is the driving force of the Universe. It is this invisible energy present in any change, process, and growth. The seed of a beautiful tree is in its essence a pure Intention. Without it, it would be just a piece of grain, not capable of this incredible transformation.

Intention is a powerful way to attract what you want, create shifts and move in the direction of your calling. It will invite all the necessary forces to your life to help you shift in your, so-called, "situation". Intention tells the Universe you are ready.

January is a perfect time for this practice. It is an opportunity to renew your vision, energy and spirit while asking yourself: "What do I really want to create this year, this life?" I invite you to set some clear intentions for 2009. Take a piece of paper and freely list things you are willing to welcome in your life. Bless your list with your willingness to receive and put it in a safe place. Look at it periodically, and I guarantee you, you will be checking things off the list when they are manifested. Have fun and let me know how it worked for you.
