The Power of Intention in Manifesting Your Dreams

Dear Soul,

Recently a friend asked me about my understanding of the power of intention. She was encountering difficulties in business and was questioning the process of how to manifest success.

Intention is Everything

Manifesting success is an active process. The key to this process is your INTENTION. Intention is everything. Intention is the POWER that drives the manifestation of a new reality. Consciously setting our intentions and making them real by writing them down or stating them out loud (using another person as a witness) is a powerful way of directing our ENERGY.

What ever we intend, what ever we wish to manifest, whatever we bring our awareness to, is where our energy will be directed. Remember - energy flows where attention goes.

Be Aware of Your Motivation

Of course, the power of our intentions is always underpinned by the nature of our underlying MOTIVATIONS. So the first question in working with intentions is to ask ourselves: Why?

Why do we want to manifest the thing we are intending? If fear is the underlying factor beneath our intent, then whatever we fear will be part of what we manifest. So be clear as to your motivation, first and foremost.

It's all very well to have positive intentions to succeed in business, to want a full life, to desire good health, but if our intentions are undermined by the fear of being poor, lonely or sick, then we will attract that very experience as a way of clearing ourselves of the negative energy of our fears. This is where much of the power of manifestation becomes stuck.

Sue came to my clinic explaining that she needed to increase client numbers to help her business grow. The problem was that she had a real blockage around promoting herself. As we worked to clear the emotional factors that were causing her to procrastinate in picking up the phone to make her calls, we set a plan of action in place and sealed it with the power of her intent.

The next week Sue returned to my clinic stating she was too busy to implement her plan of action as she'd received a few new clients this week and things were now looking up.

“That's the process of manifestation,” I explained. When we're 100% focussed in our intent and fully committed in our energy, the world around us starts to align with our intent, and we become magnetic in the way we attract our desired outcome to us.

“However,” I warned her, “should you decide not to carry through with your original intentions, then realise your energy will shift and you'll no longer be sending out the same energy of attraction.”

Sue decided to heed the warning and continued through with her intended plans. As a result her business is now on a path of growth and is thriving.

4 Steps to Manifest your Success

If you wish to more actively engage the process of manifestation, follow these four simple but powerful steps:

1. Clear your underlying fears to create positive foundations for your underlying MOTIVATION

2. Be specific in your INTENT, detailed without needing to control the process

3. Get excited about the shift in your energy and the direction you're now focusing in, and have 100% CERTAINTY that this or something even better is now coming into your experience

4. Be focussed in your plans, taking ACTION that's aligned with your desired outcome, and make sure you follow through with the actions you've committed to.

Remember, manifestation is an ACTIVE process. It doesn't mean that once we've clarified our intentions we sit back and wait for the universe to make it happen for us. Unless we put energy into our intentions in the form of planning followed by aligned action, then our intentions remain no more than a wish list that we're not prepared to back ourselves.

By following the above four steps we align our energy fully with our intentions and the world around us will synchronise with the power of our intent and the energy we're putting out through our thoughts, words and actions, attracting to us that which we seek to manifest, or something even better. That's the magic of manifestation!

With fierce love, radiant joy, heartfelt compassion, infinite curiosity, and unwavering truth,
