In my last couple of posts, I’d written about how the Law of Attraction is not necessarily a stand-alone Universal Law and that perhaps we must also gain a better understanding of some of the other Universal Laws, such as the Law of Karma, Law of Free Will and Choice and the Law of Polarity.  I have been writing about the power of our thoughts, discovering our negative core beliefs, expanding our conscious awareness and finally, that whatever we think is possible can become probable.  But, how does possibility become probability and how does this work towards aligning with the Law of Attraction?  This article addresses the Law of Intention as yet another component to aligning with the Law of Attraction.     We have heard the term “be careful what you ask for”, so how many times have you experienced something that you’d asked for only to realize that you said a great big “oops!” in reaction to what you thought you wanted?  This question leads me to talk about the power behind crystal clear intention-setting for manifesting your desires in a much more fun and smooth way.   So, why is it important to be crystal clear?

Well, for one thing the Universe does not really care what it brings to you, but it does answer to the call of your request; either consciously or subconsciously.  Very often, we have attracted people or events at some point in our lives that inevitably turned out to be negative experiences.  Let’s take relationships, for example.  How many times have you experienced or have heard stories of someone you know who got into a new relationship after putting all hopes and dreams into manifesting the perfect mate?  It always starts out as being everything you ever wanted, but suddenly it turned sour.  That’s probably because of one or two things that fell out of alignment with what you really wanted and that might be a) you were unaware of any ruling subconscious negative core beliefs or b) it was the way in which you asked.  You wanted to manifest that desire, but there was an unconscious internal focus on what was not wanted.

How we communicate with ourselves and how we communicate with the Universe can sometimes be misaligned.  When I work with my clients I often ask, what are your dominant thoughts or how are you communicating with yourself?  Sometimes what we ask and how we ask can actually be damaging.  Let’s say, for example, you are thinking over and over to yourself “why can’t I find my ideal romantic partner/make more money/reduce my weight”?  Well, guess what!  The Universe is going to provide you with some reason why you can’t!  You’ll get some glimpses here and there of what you want to manifest, but you’ll also come across some major roadblocks.  Or, here’s something else….you’ll ask questions like “what is holding me back from (fill in the blank)?”  or “what are some of my self-limiting beliefs”?  Sure enough, you’ll get hit right in the face with those very things.  You’ll get a really good taste of what is holding you back.

Of course, discovering our limiting beliefs can be enlightening and healing, but if we dwell on digging and digging and digging in order to clean up absolutely everything hidden in our shadows, we’ll just keep finding more and more to clean up!  There is a fine line between discovering what is holding us back and what can propel us forward. This is where creating your intention becomes important.  What you ask for and how you ask for it are very important to creating what you want.  Not to mention, so many of our desires involve obtaining tangible “things”.  How we get those things can come in a variety of ways and packages.

So, I think a good place to start is to ask yourself, “what would I like to experience?”  or “how do I want to create and experience myself while manifesting my goals”?  When I read the Akashic Records, I help you discover how you can align yourself to your own, unique way of manifesting so that your experience will flow with less effort.  Understanding who you are at your Soul level helps you to know how you can more easily navigate your human experience. Honing in on what and how you would like to choose your experiences not only simplifies the goal-attaining process, but it gets you focused on your truer desires, how you want to experience getting TO your desires, and even makes you aware of how you want to express your Divine Nature.  If I were to examine the saying, “we’re spiritual beings here on this planet having a human experience”, I would definitely focus on the “experience” part and put efforts towards exercising the Law of Free Will and Choice.  In other words, we are here to experience being human!  So many are missing out on their spirit’s true intention of simply having the human experience; thereby doing what I call “spiritual-bypass.” Whatever you focus on expands so why not begin focusing on solutions and the results you want to experience?  I’m sure you would agree that it’s much more fun to ask for solutions that guide you towards your desired outcomes other than to focus on your problems or lack.  This means you have to know what it is you want to create and how your Soul wants to experience your human roadmap that leads you to that creation.
