Weddings, intentions, desires and manifestations

Tune in to the video above to hear a feel good story of intention and desire then read below for this weeks blog for how to work with the energy of intention and desires.

Intentions and Desires

This week let’s get really clear on what it is that we want and what we desire to happen in our life! Let’s entertain it with love as opposed to fear and see the momentum of that energy unfold.

Make sure you watch the video above for the “intention and desire” story I watched unfold in an everyday often occurrence. It is a story I am sure others can also tell or have a similar version of the same unfolding – however the point of this real life story is really to show that each and every one of us has a lot more power than we realize. We can manifest what it is we really desire to see unfold in our life. I hope everyone that hears my wedding story above – understands that we all have this power within. When we set our intentions in motion for the benefit of all we can do a lot of good in this world. I was a receiver of this particular intention and desire as were about 150 other guests – we all had a ton of fun – that is some powerful stuff! Just imagine what we all could do if we set our positive intentions out into the world like that.

So where do we start?

1. We start by getting into the practice of setting daily intentions for ourselves and then follow through with them. This will build our confidence and our self-esteem.
2. Practice mindful awareness – which is a commitment to taking a simple task that we do regularity and opening all of our sense to focusing on that one task. This practice opens up our awareness and helps us to focus our mind on the present moment.

Neither of these tasks take any more time out of our day – yet they have the potential to set us on the right path to more confidence and focus.

Then…Desire

• We get really clear about what it is we want.
• What we desire.
• What we want to see unfold in our life

For some of us this could be BIG things we want to see unfold and for others it could be small desires. It could be many desires we have – it could be just a few.

It could be material things we want, feelings we want to feel or experiences we want to have in this lifetime. It could be ANYTHING and we have every right to desire it all and know we deserve it all!

Some of us know exactly what we want and already have a list and some may not have any idea what they desire and cannot even begin to dream.

So begin by making a list. Sit down and get really honest with yourself. Desire the small stuff, desire the big stuff. Dream big. Be realistic. Be practical. Be a dreamer. Write some “what if” lists… Make a list of what you would do and how you would share your gifts and talents if you won 20 million dollars. What would you do if you had all the time and money in the world.

Maybe you desire things that don’t require money. What would you do if you had all the energy you needed? Maybe you want your health back, or you are wanting a relationship to get better or maybe you want to experience a love  beyond what you have ever experienced before. Maybe it is a diagnosis you desire to be different or to visit with your Grandfather one last time before he passed away.

Make a list of everything and anything. Reach for what appears to be impossible.

Or if that just seems too much – make a “practical” list – one you can actually believe could unfold.

Whatever direction you go with your desires list – just do it AND get really clear on what you want. (Note here… sometimes we need to go REALLY BIG to get down to the root of what it is we really, really want – so don’t be afraid to dream big and play with this a bit – then when we scale it back down – we find we have peeled back a few layers of unconscious thoughts and beliefs along the way)

To manifest a desire it cannot come from fear or an ego-based place. An ego-based place is by-passing the benefit (or detriment) to others and looking only at what this desire offers us alone. Another ego-based space we can’t manifest what we want from is believing we are not good enough or do not deserve what it is that we desire.

To truly manifest a desire we come from the heart center. All heart-centered desires are supported by the Universe.

This is where core values comes into play.

Our core values highlight the beliefs that truly matter the most to us.

• Know your core values.
• Know what you stand for.
• Know what is important to you.
• As we make our list of desires we know they are authentic when they align with what we stand for and what is most important to us.
• Align our desires with our core values.

Then…Intentions

• Intend on directing our unwavering attention towards what it is we want.
• If we want something to grow stronger… direct our attention towards it.
• If we want something to diminish…we withdrawal our attention from it.
• Intend on withdrawing our attention away from our doubts and fears.
• We set intentions then we take action in the direction of what we want.

Action is the way we channel our energy into a behavior to create the world around us.

Practicing mindful awareness opens us up to see synchronicities and opportunities to take action in the present moment. The key to staying in the energy and flow of what we desire is to not allow ourselves to get discouraged by doubts, worries and all the obstacles that life is guaranteed to throw at us. Having the ability to release our past fears and focus on the present moment draws our attention away from what we don’t want and enables us to take action in the direction of what we do want. This is where a mindful awareness practice is wildly beneficial.

Then…Release attachment to the “how”

• Do not get set on your desire needing to unfold in any one particular way.
• Let go of how you think the outcome should unfold or even look like.
• If things do not go the way you thought they would – trust that there is a reason.

Then…Trust the Universe

• The Universe has a way of way of turning obstacles into “blessings in disguise”
• Remember this and look for the opportunity in all obstacles.
• The Universe has a plan to have our desires unfold in a grander way than we can even imagine. Remembering this allows us to open to infinite possibilities.

This Week’s Intention

1. Get clear on what you want. Let yourself think big and be open to infinite possibilities. Make a list of your desires.
2. Set daily intentions and increase your confidence by following through with them.
3. Know what your core values are – list 5 of them and know them by heart.
4. Take action from the heart space versus the ego-base.
5. Do not get discouraged by fears, doubts and obstacles.
6. Detach from the fruits of our actions and any perceived outcome
7. Trust the Universe has a plan.

Desire comes from the core of our being. Make it a practice to connect into the body and listen to the awareness of the Soul as it came with certain desires to fulfil in this lifetime. Look for signs, synchronicities and serendipities – soul desires are manifested with help from beyond what our logical mind can comprehend. Imagine something as truth and you will create it. Feel the expanded sense of what can actually be possible and act in the present moment through intuition and what just feels right.

Have a fabulous week getting really clear on your desires and moving in the direction of what will bring you happiness within.

Namaste;
