Can Positive Intention Really Change Your Life?

Can Positive Intention Really Change Your Life?

Whether you are a follower of alternative philosophies, or a believer in more traditional approaches, the research results are the same: the thoughts we think are powerful, and impact our health, mental attitude, and the energy we attract to our lives!

"We can now measure changes in immune cells and the brain in ways that provide objective scientific proof of the connection between them." ~ Mary Jo Kreitzer, University of Minnesota.

"The body response to mental input is as if it were physically real. Brain scans show that when we imagine an event, our thoughts 'light up' the areas of the brain that are triggered during the actual event." ~ Dr. Larry Dossey, mind-body researcher

"There is ample evidence that negative thoughts and feelings can be harmful to the body."
~ Lorenzo Cohen, Director of Integrative Medicine at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (Houston)

In his book, Messages from Water, Dr Masuro Emoto (Japanese researcher) shares the results of experiements that demonstrate the positive changes that occur to the molecular structure of water when exposed to written words, visualization techniques, and intentions.

Tips for Using Positive Intention to Achieve your Goals:

1. Define what it is you really want to attract. Sure we all want to be thin, rich, and gorgeous...and there's nothing wrong with wanting any of these things. But manifesting things that also feed the spirit adds power to the process. For example, a healthy body, a more balanced life, less stress/more peace, loving relationships, a fulfilling & rewarding career, etc.

2. If you want to be it, you have to see it. Visualization is a powerful tool. Create a picture or movie in your mind...see yourself achieving your goal. Be sure to "play" this movie over and over in your mind, at least once each day.

Personal note: Several years ago I went from being a person filled with energy, to someone who was so weak from a chronic illness that rolling over in bed required more energy than I could muster. It was an awful time, but as I learned more about the power of the mind, I began to focus more on what it was I wanted, rather than on the situation I was in at that moment. Each day as I laid in bed, I would picture my daughter and I at the mall...just like we used to do: in and out of every store, from one end of the mall to the other,shopping, laughing and having a great time (can you tell I love to shop?!). It certainly didn't happen overnight, and it was not without God's guidance, but visualization was a huge part of my healing, and I can attest to its power!

3. Intention affirmations are as powerful as thoughts. As Dr. Emoto's studies demonstrate, the written word, as well as intentions and affirmations are powerful enough to change the molecular structure of water...so if we are 90% water just imagine the affect positive words & intentions can have on our bodies & minds!

Look for products with affirmations and inspiration quotes that reflect your intentions and goals...or create your own. Post them on the bathroom mirror, your nightstand, on the refrigerator, your desk...and of course, wear them! Read these messages often to reinforce the positive energy you want to attract to your life.

Note: Wear Your Intention products are the result of my desire to "wear my positive intentions" and perhaps you will find something that speaks to your intentions as well: View All Products

4. Live with gratitude...have faith - and patience. Things don't always happen on our timetable. You may want it now, but it may not be your destiny to achieve at this time. Have faith and know that God wants for you all the goodness you want for yourself. Live with gratitude for what you have, pray with gratitude for what you want to achieve...and you will be amazed at all that is possible!
