Irene – so glad this resonated with you! I love your process for going deeper and deeper to the root of your intention. I think that kind of self-inquiry is so important if we really want to be conscious creators …. emphasis on “conscious!”

Evelyn – thank you! Yes, it all begins and ends with our clarity … law of attraction at its finest, right? If we put out muddy intentions, we get back one big mess! I’ve certainly been there many times!

Mags – thank you! I attempt to complicate things all the time … Like you, I love focusing on the energy rather than the specifics. It helps me practice detachment.

Tom – Let us know how it works for you! I bet you’ll get more profound results from fewer actions when the actions are aligned with a very clear intention. Oddly enough, this can lead to doing less, which can sometimes also drive us crazy … this is where we get to explore our attachment to “doing.” I personally have lots of fun with that one!

Blessings,
Andrea

Thanks for this Andrea. I intend to use it. This will make my decision-making more conscious. I tend to follow my gut a lot and charge forward without tuning in. It will be interesting to take the time to tune in and write down the two focusing words and then watch how things play out.

Excellent post, Andrea! In spite of our attempts to complicate matters, it really is common sense, isn’t it?!

I’ve been finding that focusing on the energetic qualities of my intentions is key. As you mentioned, we can get very caught up in the specifics of what an outcome “should” look like, but when we look deeper, we may find that many of those specifics are rooted in fear rather than expressive of what we truly want to create.

I like it when you said to tune into the energy of the intention. I can most certainly relate to this because the few times when I’ve done so, I’ve gotten answers within less than a day. However, when I was confused and not sure with what my end goals or intentions are, I never quite got clear answers.

Gosh Andrea … this is so simple and structured. I absolutely love this!

One way that has helped me to assess the authenticity of my intentions is asking “why?”. For example, if I set an intention to lose weight, I ask “why do I want to lose that weight?”, and perhaps I’ll get the answer, “to look good”. And then I’ll ask again “why do I want to look good?” and then I’ll probably get the answer, “to attract love into my life”. And so on it goes. Often I do discover that this method eventually reveals a deeper intention that I want to manifest – beyond all that “pretty” statements at the surface.

Excellent post Andrea … this will be my exercise for the week!
