Tap intention in 7 simple ways
Q Here are seven attitudes to harness the power of intention:
1 Stay rooted to reality. Don’t believe in hype, superstition, tarot, astrology or star signs to lure you into believing things about yourself or others that aren’t true. Don’t for a second believe that some guy with a beard and booming voice and deep burning eyes has some “power” to alter your reality either. He doesn’t. If he really did, he wouldn’t be desperate enough to lure you into swallowing his hype today.
2 Accept your reality, howsoever bad it may be. Open your eyes and see yourself, warts, tears, scratches and all. I know it takes courage to say, “This is exactly how bad my situation is”, but believe me, it’s critical for you to see the truth about yourself first and accept it for what it is.
3 Don’t waste time in questioning the power of intention. Suffice to know it’s there, it’s inside you, and it’s available to you. Intention is part of the great intelligence that runs our life and powers our being. Think of it as a helping hand that comes and gives you that final nudge, push, inspiration, courage or support.
4 Believe that you have the power to change your situation. This is most critical. Even if you are in the most desperate crisis, you still have a huge power to change things over time. Replace the “I am helpless” attitude into “I can and I will” assertion. Even a simple and honest utterance of that statement can start off a process that will eventually lead to fulfilment of your goals.
5 Do everything in your physical power first before you approach that higher power inside. It’s only when you strain and strive, when you sweat and toil that the inner gates to your own being open up and you tap the pure spirit of Intention. That higher power within helps you only after all your personal efforts have been applied and your goal is still unreached. Ask any athlete, any top ranking student or any achiever. He/she will tell you that the state of grace happens only when every sinew is strained to the seams, when the heart is beating to its loudest ever, when the brain is straining to solve the question paper and having tried its very best, is still struggling for the answer.
6 Remember to say a heartfelt “thank you” every time it comes and helps you. Remain humble, simple and grateful. Know you remain big only as long as you understand how small you really are.
7 Stay tuned to that awesome power. Once you start tapping intention, keep flowing with that instinct. It will silently guide you, remove your rough edges and transform you completely. There’s no greater philosophy than living with that divine power everyday, every minute of your life.
