9 Steps To Setting A Clear And Powerful Intention
Intentions are guiding our energy clearly towards our desires and dreams. In Taoist practice we call intention 'yi'. We can apply the essence of chi kung in our daily life. As we learn to direct chi in our chi kung practice, we learn to direct energy in our daily life.
Setting an intention is the first step towards making your dreams come true. Intention has power in it. An intention directs us like a guiding star. It helps us to align our actions towards the fulfilment of our dreams.
1. Be clear on what your desired outcome is. Write down your intention. Make sure your
statement is positive, affirmative and in present tense. It needs to state what you want rather
than what you do not want.
2. Ask yourself “Who do I need to become for this intention to be fulfilled in my life?”
3. Now close your eyes and begin to breathe deeply into your belly. Bring your awareness
within. Continue to breathe deeply, feeling the gentle rise and fall of your belly. Continue to
focus on your belly until you feel centred within yourself.
4. Now bring your awareness to your heart and smile into your heart. And as you are smiling into
your heart, feel your heart opening. Feel love, joy, gratitude and appreciation in your
heart. And allow these good feelings to flow throughout your whole body.
5. Now really feel into the energy that you want to experience. What is the essence of your
intention? What does it feel like to have that in your life that which you desire? Imagine you
already have it in your life. Create a scene in your mind's eye in which your dream
has already come true. Then step into the scene, step into yourself and experience the
scene from that place. What do you see when your desire has manifested in your life?
What do you hear? What do you feel?
6. Come back into the present moment and open your eyes. You should feel good and inspired
after this practice. Ask yourself "What is the next step I need to take that will lead me
closer to the fulfilment of my intention?" Then go and do it!
7. Don't put a time frame on the fulfilment of your intention. Trust that it will manifest at
the right time.
8. Keep reminders of your intention around you. Create a dream board or write down your
intention and carry this reminder with you.
9. Let all your actions and decisions be guided by your intention.
