What are your intentions...?

OK, here goes the first draft:

I'm grateful for this long and amazing conversation I'm having with the girl I used to call "mystery waitress". As I get to know her better and better, my idea of where she fits into my life becomes clearer and clearer. It gives me a great sense of peace; a feeling that "things are right".

Well, that already happened. Some of my English teachers were Catalonian native speakers and spoke in Catalonian during the class.
Here some teachers speak in Catalonian and some in Spanish.

I want to manifest being selected for a particular position at work. (Military) Not sure how to frame up an intention manifestation that relies almost solely on other people's decisions.

Here's my first go, I'm looking for all comers here!

I am the new executive officer. And so it is.

Weird....help!

[mind-energy]

Here are my intentions on the way to their manifestation.

I intend to continuously earn enough money through my website and other business to quit my day job for good.

I intend to become healthier and healthier as I age.

I intend to help many other people to become healthier.

And so it is.

[leahj77]

I celebrate my 30th birthday in Jerusalem with my beloved... and so it is.

I am healthy, strong, and graceful in my body... and so it is.

I am fluent in Hebrew... and so it is.

My beloved and I are strong, supportive, joyful parents... and so it is.

I write and publish to great acclaim... and so it is.

My beloved and I travel the world, sit on benches, and hold hands... and so it is.

Beautiful, all... I'm glad we have this thread, thank you Lil Chris!

And it has happened with the "Yo quiero", not with the "I am" or "I would like", etc.

I intended that she say yes to me too... but it seems the universe has to do quite a few arrangements to get to cause this... At least I've had the chance when I wanted it.

Songwriter, great! I'm never quite sure what to do with the timing of things...if things just happen on days I intend them, does that mean something? I sincerely don't know. That they happen after I have intended them, yah that means a great deal to me. So congratulations both ways!

And rdgpjen, I'm not sure either, if I am sure that it is other people's decisions at work....except that a lot goes into making a decision, doesn't it.

Yours sounds great. The only thing I would think to add is something closer to what I can do about whatever it is (e.g., becoming the new executive officer)--like maybe something along the lines of:

"I am confident that I am a perfect fit for this position and both my confidence and my talents are evident to all."

Something like that comes to mind because, for me anyway, if I intend something like that regularly and with discipline, then I will see myself doing just what I am intending (that's MY decision, not others'). Theoretically, others will see the same and I will get what I want.

Another take on this is: Do I know for sure that this something is the best for me right now, or soon? Are there hidden factors which, if I knew them, would dissuade me from wanting this postion? (rdgpjen, I have NO IDEA if this could be a possibility...). If that is even remotely a possibility, would it be good to add something like...

"I will be selected for a position that allows me to use all the strength and wisdom I have for the most fruitful purpose, both for myself and for others."

or something like that.....

[Lil Chris]

Ati,
Your welcome.... And thanks to all the participents.

I would give you my advice but my opinion is against the majority.
My opinion is that Universe has had to rearrange itself a little. It had something that made your intentions not possible.

Great thread Chris, thank you I apologise if this has already been asked (I did a quick readthrough of the posts) but do we post about the manifestation of our intention here once it's arrived as well?

A great new job for my husband Rori where he is happy and appreciated, and for him to be in this job by Christmas this year. And so it is.

A wonderful new client to contact me within the next 3 days for immediate paid work. And so it is.

Alarin, you've given me an idea here (and here's a strong second on your two intentions !!!--I didn't copy them only to concentrate on your first sentence here

However.... , I wonder what you folks would think about trying a couple things, just on this thread:

1. Post our intentions the way we are posting them.
2. Post encouragements for each others intentions (that seems real helpful and fun, especially if a particular connection comes up from an intention)
3. As you suggested, Alarin--great idea!--post "results" / manifestations of our own intentions
4. Post "revisions" of our own intentions, due to some sort of insight we've had . This, like the intentions themselves might give others ideas as well as help us to practice our own.
5. When we have a more detailed response than a "beautiful!", or "go for it!" encouragement, then as I think Lil Chris originally suggested, we could post here a reference to another thread (such as "phrasing intentions" or wherever the poster feels would be best) for a longer, more detailed response.

Whaddyathink?

This is ONLY an idea from me as a participant on this board. I think if we did something along these lines we'd have an even more focused and centered thread here on initiating and tracking intentions, along with group/collegial/peer support.

If you think this is good, I'd suggest just a couple things just in regards to logistics--

1. Let's not edit our own posts. If we edit more than once, the system doesn't tell us when edits were made. Instead quote the passage (either as (Quote) for single quotes or ( ") for multiple quotes), hit Post Reply and enter our revisions or our results/manifestations as a new post.

2. Same thing for responses either directed to another thread or the quick encouragements on this thread.

3. For responses directed to another thread, maybe citing a Title for the response in that thread and then putting that Title at the top of the response in the new thread would be a good idea.....


These are just some ideas.....I've been putting longer-than-just-encouragement responses just in this thread (as I did just yesterday !) and from now on, I'll do the above myself anyway. Will be interesting to see if there is a way to link a reply to one thread directly to another thread, I'll ask abt that. Just would be one step quicker, I think.

Your thoughts/ other ideas?

All best,

[Ati]

Catching up on the rest of the posts, I came across "What Have You Manifested Recently", started Saturday 11.11 by dECLAN.

What would you think about making that one a sticky right under this one? That would make two very focused threads addressing what we are doing here....all else could still be directed to other threads, depending upon what people are wanting to communicate.

[Alarin]

I love your suggestions Ati ! I think it would be great to be able see how people's manifestations come true and how long they took, as well as being able to give more detailed encouragement!

I will kick off with a manifestation that came true for me just this evening ! It was yesterday that I put this one out to the universe...

And tonight out of the blue a family member who runs a big business asked if they could hire me to design new promotional material for them. It's immediate, it's paid work, and it has manifested well within the 3 days I requested! So thank you God, The Universe, and everyone here for helping me bring this into my life !!

Ok I'm going to start manifesting my next thing now, lol, which is simply my next client to contact me within the next 10 days with a fun well-paying project. And so it is!

[Ati]

Congratulations Alarin!

I'll sticky up the "results" thread as it is, then. Hey, one vote YES zero NO, good enough for me (smile)

I'm also going to sticky up a general mod thread to pass on stuff coming from the mod board---nothing dramatic there but will be a place for any discussion abt this board...again nothing dramatic.

I'm off to practicing downstairs and will be back to do those things in a couple hours (smile)

Ati

PS I need to ask Steve and company to allow us a few more smileys--your news got my entire alottment (wink) !!!!

[IneffibleMind]

I intend to be offered a job working with rock stars and that pays 4 times my current income next week. I already have my foot in the door and I just want them to offer me the job.

I intend to have my newly formed company succeed, even while I work at my new job.



BTW, congrats on all of you who have had your intentions manifest!


In the spirit of the Million Dollar Project, I intend everyone who holds these intentions to succeed in the right time.

[Pooka]

I've been struggling with the right way to phrase this one, but here it goes:

I am a winner in the local newspaper's advertisement design competition. I am a winner in the regional advertisement design competition as well. My talent and the hard work I put into my submission is evident to all.

And so it is!

Thing is, I won't know the results of the contest until around January. Oh well, that's a good long time for me to repeat these intentions.

[Alvin]

This is an interesting thread...especially to see how the intentions work out!

Mine is: I am living a life of ease, joy and abundance.

Hehehe, thanks Ati!!

Thinking good thoughts for the new manifestations just posted, let us know when they come true!

[Ati]

All best to work with rock stars, ad designs and ease, joy and abundance!

[Ati]

In an easy and relaxed manner,
In a healthy and positive way,
For the highest good of all,
In its own perfect time, with its own perfect timing,
In good faith and in good humor,

I intend the experience of playing world class music with world class musicians to enter into my life, in ongoing and continuous development. And I intend the same for all who hold this intention.

****"World class" music, to me is the music I most like to listen to...it's truly great stuff and it's my goal to play with musicians who play like that--in my lifetime--no holds barred.

"World class", to my mind and heart and in my intention, does NOT mean fame, glory, money or ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR incredible music which moves my heart and soul***** just to be clear on that point

Ati

[fourthdan]

Ati, you're brilliant! this has encouraged me to get off my butt - i actually started to manifest myself instead of agreeing that it might work..

this entire week I have been manifesting this the first thing in the morning after my jog and shower:

In a easy and relaxed manner
In a healthy and positive way
In it's own perfect time
For the good of all

I intend to complete preparation for 3 subjects out of 4 of my CCNP certification by this weekend
I intend to be in perfect shape by the end of this month
I intend to find my soulmate by the end of this year
I intend to be financially independent by next year
I intend to play Jazz on the paino at Jambase (the local jazz club)
I intend to reach higher levels of conciousness and happiness

--------------------------------------------------------

yes, i know i've put timelines and deadlines, but for me - that IS the perfect time because I have intended it to be
it's an experiment after all

progress so far? i'm working out every day like crazy
i'm also perfecting my photoreading skills so i can complete the 3 subject preparation in the next 3 days
i've been invited to a friends wedding in december... maybe i'll meet my soulmate there ... who knows
the lobby in my office has a new pianist this week! i'm gonna ask her if she gives classes

[David Mitchell]

I can see and hear clearly, and breathe freely, at all times.

[Mitalp]

I like to use the graditude technique. Be greatfuel for what it is you intend on manifesting.


"Thank you Universe for the 2 sales this week."

"Thank you Universe, for unlimited wealth and abundance."

"Thank you Universe for the beautiful beach house."
