Aha, this gets fun - we have so many participants.
Now today, we're going to do a one-off exercise. It's something you won't repeat again, or at least, it's not the kind of exercise you will do very often at all.
This exercise does take some planning, however. First you'll need to find an appropriate intention, within your chosen life area, to use for this exercise. And the intention should meet the following criteria:
1. It is something that would really make you very happy, if it came true.
2. It is something that could theoretically or possibly happen within your chosen time-frame for your DIY experiment (eg 2 months)
3. It is something that seems so amazing and/or so unlikely that you haven't been striving towards it or working on it at all. It basically has never been a goal for you.
4. It is something that you wouldn't feel disappointed about at all, if it didn't happen. In other words, it's so unlikely to happen that you'd never have expected it to happen, therefore you won't be disappointed if it doesn't.
5. It is something that, if you
were to set it as a personal goal or target, would logically require very little or perhaps no action on your part at all. In other words, in a "conventional" sense, it is quite beyond your control - there's logically nothing much you can do about it.
What might such an intention be? Just some examples. Suppose you've just suffered a broken relationship. You've not been looking for a new partner - you just don't feel ready and so you've taken no action whatsoever to go dating etc and you really don't feel like it. Now, the intention you could use for this exercise is that the most perfect new partner for you will just spontaneously show up in your life.
Another example. Suppose you don't really like your current job. You don't mind it that much, but you don't love it either. Unfortunately you don't even know what kind of job you would really enjoy, so you haven't gone out there to start looking. Now, the intention you could use for this exercise is that a new job opportunity will just suddenly, spontaneously show up in your life, and when it comes, you will realise that
this kind of job is exactly what you want to do.
Now ......... for the actual exercise.
Having decided on the intention you want to do, proceed as usual. Set 20 minutes for this exercise, and make it a really, really good one.
Go deep ... deep .... deep ... deep, and when you're there, use a combination of positive words, positive images, positive emotions to express this intention to yourself.
If there are aspects of the intention which aren't clear to you (for example, you still don't know what kind of job you really want, or what kind of person would make a perfect partner for you), just "fill in the gaps" in whatever way feels natural to you. For example, you could use:
(i) positive emotion (just imagine and "feel" how happy you would be, if that job or that partner came to you);
(ii) positive general language ("she's the most perfect person for me ..."; "the job makes me feel so excited to get up every morning and go to work" etc) without going into specifics.
Go really, really deep. Spend 20 minutes there. Then get out. Forget the intention. Let it go. Detach. Don't fuss about it any more (this should be easy - remember, I asked you to choose an intention that "you wouldn't feel disappointed about at all, if it didn't happen".).
Proceed with life as usual. If nothing happens, nothing happens. You wasted half an hour of your time - no big deal.
If something happens, oh .... you will be SOOOOO happy.
And who knows, maybe the universe is about to surprise you.
