The
Power of Intention in Manifesting Our Heart’s Desire
“Intention
is infinite potential activating your physical and non-physical
appearance on earth…a force that exists in the universe
as an invisible field of energy.” ~Wayne Dyer
In his best-selling book, The Power of Intention,
Wayne Dyer describes intention as an energy field that exists
everywhere. We connect to intention by first imagining what
we want and then allowing ourselves to experience it as
if it was already here. When I first started my coaching
business, Living with Intention, in 1998, I had no idea
that Wayne Dyer would write a book about intention six years
later. During these past seven years as a coach, I have
repeatedly witnessed the power of intention as my clients
manifest their heart’s desire.
Recently, I realized its power in my own life.
My
vision is a planet inhabited by masterful coaches. I created
Living with Intention to assist others to be their own best
coaches. My vision includes bringing coaching and coach
training to people in different parts of the world. This
past spring, a colleague asked me if I wanted to submit
a proposal to present with her at the International Coach
Federation Australasian Coaching Conference in Brisbane,
Australia in September. Knowing that traveling to Australia
was aligned with my vision, I immediately said ‘YES’!
I also knew that a trip to Australia would mean time away
from my family and my business, which concerned me. However,
I was determined to go, regardless of whether the conference
proposal was accepted or not. I imagined myself getting
on the plane, traveling around Australia and meeting interesting
people along the way. I was tapping into the power of intention.
I
began to network with other coaches and with colleagues
from my former career as a social work professor. I told
them of my desire to combine work and travel in Australia
for the month of September. Within a couple of weeks of
setting an intention to go to Australia, a client introduced
me to a wonderful woman named Michelle Bihary. Michelle
owns and directs the Delta Centre, a holistic center in
Melbourne, Australia. She and I clicked immediately; it
was as if we had known each other for a lifetime. Not only
was Michelle interested in sponsoring me to provide coach
training through her center, we also decided to collaborate
for part of the training.
The synergy between us made the whole process effortless
and fun!
In
less than a month I will travel to Australia. I know that
this adventure is an important step in moving closer to
my vision. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, the proposal
was not accepted. That’s ok; I’m looking forward
to attending the conference as a participant!
This
entire experience affirms the power of intention that is
present for all of us. How many times do you witness a client
move forward in a powerful new direction, not because there
is a guaranteed outcome, but because the client is listening
to his/her wise self who knows this is the right course
of action? That is the power of intention!
Carlos
Castenada said “Intent is a force that exists in the
universe. When sorcerers (those who live of the Source)
beckon intent, it comes to them and sets up the path for
attainment, which means that sorcerers always accomplish
what they set out to do.” The greatest gift for me
is to observe the transformation that occurs for my clients
as they stop trying to ‘figure it all out’ and
connect with the sorcerer that lives inside of them. That
gift reinforces in me my own connection to Source. Quite
awe-inspiring!
-
What is your heart’s desire right now that seems
just out of reach?
-
How
might you tap into the power of intention to make it a
reality?
-
Where in your life would you like to become a sorcerer?
-
Reflecting
back, where can you now see the power of intention in
you life?
