How Intention Changes You—And Your Business
“What was said to the rose to make it open, was said to me, here in my chest.”
~Rumi
I wonder what it would feel like to be eye to eye with a wishie? You know, the puff ball left behind when a dandelion goes to seed? There is a tradition of blowing these seeds into the wind with a silent wish, whoooo. Hence, the technical term “wishie.”
I watched with curiosity one morning while a quail stood eye to eye with one of these perfect orbs. Pecking it for food, he took what he wanted sending the rest of the seedlings into the air, no doubt to my neighbor’s consternation. At this level would I feel small? Or would my world seem even more expansive?
Last week a client was celebrating the power of intention and energy transformation. One moment she called her Love to celebrate what had just happened in our coaching call and the immense freedom she felt.
Literally 45 minutes later she called him back to say she was fired from her job—and still celebrating.
Why? She saw the direct correlation between getting fired, what she had just unleashed in herself in our call, and the intentions she designed for her new work—a perfect manifestation with more to come. When we design our intentions, we really have no idea how they will be created or the infinite combination of details that will come together.
Like the quail, we can stand eye to eye with what we know without any idea of where the seeds of our intentions may land. What we do know is that when we truly set ourselves free internally, energetically, our intentions will manifest in ways beyond our visions, to move us out of who we thought ourselves to be into our next greatest version—soul potential.
Another client asked, so what is the percentage of responsibility I have with Infinite Intelligence, this quantum field, in manifesting my intentions? Is it 50/50, 60/40, what? It is more like 90/10 or even 99/1, while really being 100/100. We give our all, yet it is cradled in the most powerful act of all, surrender, detachment. What we “do” is such an infinitesimally small percentage of what takes place to materialize a dream.
Intention is more than a goal. In its best form, it is taking responsibility for your life at such a deep level to be on the leading edge of co-creativity with this cosmos of energy. By aligning yourself with it in all things energy—thought, feeling, freeing yourself of past conditioning or other inner obstacles, you breathe life into new form.
“What propels us forward is the amplitude of our intentions being stronger than the reality of the physical world…
(~ Dr. Joe Dispenza)
…we are currently immersed in—from the way we see ourselves to the environment we live in each day. If we want change, we must organize ourselves around our intentions so our world can rearrange itself within and around us.
Applied to your business, your profession, your intimate and professional relationships, and everyday happenings, what do you feel compelled to change? What do you want to manifest? What is holding you back? You are standing eye to eye with the wishie. What are you sending out with your intentions?
