The Power of Intention

Do you know that, if you are in a situation and you do not like, you have an option to change the situation that you are in?

Yes, it is possible. You just have to set an intention. I had a client, who did not have good relationship with her partner. She never did anything to change the situation because she felt that the situation could not be reversed. She felt powerless. She did not see that she had a choice to change it.

After probing a bit, I realized that she did not see that she had a choice. And we had a conversation about the power of an Intention. I advised her to set an intention : “I want to have a better relationship with my partner”.

We considered two scenarios:-

1.       Things would go off with her partner and she would not do anything.

2.       Things would go off with her partner and she would set an intention “I want to have a better relationship with my partner”.

In the first scenario, nothing would happen… obviously because no intention was set. But in the second case, after setting an intention, she would sent a message to the Universe through her intention about her desire.

Remember, every thought we think vibrates. It radiates a signal to the Universe and attracts a matching signal back.

So, when she sents this signal to the Universe about things wanting to get better between her and her partner, the Universe also responds. You know how? The Universe sends us thoughts which are basically instructions which take us towards the fulfillment of our desire.

Now, once you receive the instructions, the following scenarios are possible:-

1.       You receive the instructions, but do not take any action.

2.    You receive the instructions, but argue internally with yourself.. like for example if the instructions might be.. let go or say sorry… you might argue… Why should I say sorry? Why should I let go? He is wrong. He should say sorry…. And you let your ego win.

3.       You receive the instructions and you perform the action, trusting the universe completely.

Most of the humans fall in the first and second category. You know why? Because we do not trust the Universe. We (me included) normally think that if I let go or say sorry, I will be taken for granted.

But it doesn’t work that way.

Again, there is a possibility of two scenarios here :-

1.       You let go, say sorry but fear that you will be taken for granted.

2.       You let go, say sorry and trust the universe.

You receive the results not based on the action you  perform, but based on the emotion that gets created while performing the action.

In the first scenario, an emotion of fear has got created, so there are chances that the other person might take you for granted. Not because this is what happens when you let go or say sorry. But because you sent out the vibration to the Universe, through your thoughts, that I will be taken for granted. So, the universe responds accordingly.

We also create fear because we feel that just because I am saying sorry means I am weak. (Actually, it’s the opposite. Saying sorry requires courage. Courage to accept that I have done something wrong and I take the responsibility to rectify it.) I am saying sorry means I am wrong and our ego feels extremely diminished when it realizes that it is wrong. It wants to be right at all costs. But, all of this works against our relationship.

In the second scenario you let go, say sorry and trust… trust that the universe will do what is appropriate for you. No sense of diminishment gets created in you. You realize that – to err is human and there is no harm in letting go or saying sorry.

Just guess, what happens when you do that.

When you let go with a sense of extreme trust and good feelings, there is a very high possibility that the other person will also realize his/ her mistake and want to let go. (Because we humans want to be kind, in the end. That’s what our true nature is.  And when you are the first to let go, to take a step towards healing the relationship, you have no idea what the Universe will give you. We always feel it is between me and the other person. But no, it is always between you and the Universe. When you do your job, the Universe will also do its job of giving you magical results.)

This is how relationships heal…

They heal when you take action…work for it.

They heal with good feelings of trust and letting go..

They heal when you set the intention.

That’s the power of intention. And it not only heals relationships, but it gets you results in every area of your life. It all starts with an INTENTION.
