Which is: the difference between desire and intention.How the Law of Attraction WorksThe law of attraction basically works because the world is in essence just energy. And the law of energy is that like attracts like. Or a better way of putting it is that like is attracted to like.
So, really understanding the law of attraction and practising it, all comes down to understanding energy. Something us reiki people are VERY interested in.
When you develop a goal and focus on it, utlising the law of attraction, the mistake that alot of people make is that they do not set their intention at the right level of their energy. So, it becomes a desire, not an intention.
What is a Desire?Desires are similar to intention, in that they revolve around something we want or something we want to happen. But, they are needy. They lack clarity. They have a sense of urgency (not “good” urgency, which is discussed below). They re-enforce an underlying belief of “lack”.
Desires are at the ego level.
What is an Intention?An intention, is a knowingness. It has no doubt. It is clear. It is focussed. Intention arises, when it is clear and congruent, from the truth of abundance and contentment. You do not “believe” 1 Million people are going to read your blog you KNOW it.
Intention is at the heart level.
How does Reiki help? This is where Reiki and other energy healing arts are such good compliments to the law of attraction and conscious manifestation (tangent on top of the tangent –> by the way, conscious manifestation should be considered part of the 3rd level of Reiki.. but let’s save that thought for another day).
You will notice that when you develop a goal, and initially start focusing on it, that you are not 100% congruent. There are certain parts of your heart that doubt your goal (ego anyone?).
So, if your energy pattern and flow is not quite in line with your intention, what happens?Your energy disperses, and your manifesting fizzles.
It is very hard to have clear and congruent intentions straight off. Not impossible, I certainly do know some people that are very good at this stuff without much training, but for the rest of us, there are some little tricks.
Intention TricksHere is a quick fire list of my top 3 intention “hacks”..
1. Everything gets easier with familiarity.
Nothing, by law of nature, gets harder with repitition. So, use that to your advantage. Like a peak performance athlete goes over and over their pre-race routine, their race routine, and their post race routine, over and over in their mind, so you should gently turn over your intentions, over and over, gently, in your mind, allowing yourself to become more and more accustomed to their “truth”.
2. Prayer.
If you know how to pray properly, you are just doing the law of attraction. Most people think prayer involves something “out there”. But, that is not really right is it. Prayer is wishing. We all remember what wishing felt like as a kid. There was a certain amount fun involved. And, a certain amount of urgency also. That is important. Because that tension builds our emotional energy. Tension is good. (Just do not let it fall over into “emotional leaning”.. that is where your energy is going outwards.. and stems from feeding a belief in a lack of abundance.. which runs counter to manifesting intentions and the law of attraction).
3. Focus.
The more you can be single pointed about your intention, like a laser beam, the stronger it will be. Build your concentration and mindfullness and you will build powerful intentions.
The Law of Energy and Attraction works anyway
The law of attraction works whether we are engaging it or not. Fish do not ask each other if they believe in this “water” business. Do they?
It is up to you if you are going to get involved or just be a passenger on the ride.
