Deepak Chopra says intention is the creative power that fulfills all our desires, whether it’s for our health, money, relationships, love or spiritual growth. I know intention is the fuel and catalyst for allowing our dreams and desires to come true because I have experienced it.
I feel everything that manifests in the Universe starts with intention. When I choose to go to the gym, call my son, or develop a new marketing strategy, it begins with intention.
Dr. Wayne Dyer in his book, “The Power of Intention,” says that “Intention is a force in the Universe that allows the act of creation to take place. We are all part of this field of energy that you can access to begin co-creating your life with power of intention.” When we tap into this energy, Dyer claims we become “Connectors” who are magnets for success.
My dreams and desires have come true when I used the power of intention and followed the 5 step process below:
1- State your intention out loud or write it down. Be specific, clear and positive with your intention.
2– Become a Connector. Tap into the energy field of intention in the Universe by being still, quieting your mind, and focusing on your breath. Feel positive and happy feelings as if your intention is already happening.
3- Let go of your intention– Stop thinking about how and when it will happen or of a particular result. Let go of any control or fear; otherwise the process will be slowed down. Release your intention into the energy field of intention in the Universe and trust in the unknowing. Know the Universe is supporting you.
4- Stay focused and take inspired action– The breeding ground for an intention to manifest is inner calm, receptivity, joy, love, abundance, and trust. Remain connected and don’t be affected by doubts. Take action that shows your commitment to your intention and it will inspire you. For example, if you are looking for a relationship, go to more social events and open up your schedule for this new person.
5- Live your intention as if it’s already happened. Acknowledge that the Universe is abundant and fulfilling your dreams and desires. If your intention is to have good health, you must see yourself and others in good health everywhere you go. With this mindset, you will vibrate at “a good health” frequency and will attract all the conditions that make this happen in your life. Every day visualize your dream has come true.

Healing Transforms 
We have the capability to create whatever we wish for in our lives. I enjoyed reading the simple steps outlined in your blog and agree that we all start out with intention. Before I go to bed at night, I try to always set the intention for the next day, maybe for work, such as a meeting that I intend to go really well, or more related to my personal healing, like to be more aware of my feelings. I also make it a daily practice to be thankful for the spiritual assistance that I receive and thank my spiritual team for “keeping the path clear”, so I can continue my healing practice, while balancing work and family. One of my favorite intentions is a safe trip up and back when visiting family, which is an hour away, and this includes no speeding tickets! I love to hit the petal to the metal (in safe driving conditions) and enjoy the ride a lot more knowing my intention was set. Of course, when I get home safe, I make sure to thank spirit for their wonderful blessings!
Update: Got a speeding ticket today… My take on it is that I should obey the law and slow down a little. No more hitting the pedal to the metal for me, or at least I will give it an honest try!
Ha Ha!!! Spirit has a sense of humor for sure!
Heather, I really loved reading about your intentions you set before you go to bed at night and your daily gratitude practice! I’m sorry you got a speeding ticket yesterday, but intention must be met with inspired action. I agree with you that you need to follow the speed limit and adjust the pedal to the medal. Most importantly, know that the Universe is truly protecting you and preventing something harmful from happening in the future to you, your children or others. Enough of the cosmic jokes!
What beautiful, powerful guidance, to set an intention…and then let go of that intention! It takes so much trust! Exactly what you’re calling us to. Thank you, Lorraine, for your rich posts!
