Use Your Third Eye to Help Manifest Intentions

# data[].attributes.body
Your third eye is also known as your sixth chakra (or sixth sense) and is the ability to see what might be, to see potential:  basically, intuition.  Everyone has access to his or her third eye. For example, when you have a hunch and act on it, you’ve used your third eye. But that’s only the beginning. Your third eye is a sense, one you can develop to be more refined and sensitive to energies, and more accurate than just being a hunch.

Intent is who we aspire to be, as individuals, as members of our family, as members of our community, and citizens of mother earth. In this talk Mallika Chopra explains that intents are much different from goals, as a goal is mind orientated and revolves around tasks, while intents come from our soul, and represent our deepest desires - they define who we want to be.

What are your dreams? Your goals? Your deepest desires?
Take a minute. Think about it. Get intentional.
FIVE STEPS TO SETTING INTENTIONS:
Dig Deep
There are two critical questions you must ask yourself when setting intentions:
What do you want?
How do you want to feel?

Our feelings provide insight into our true desires allowing us to align with our purpose. Use your feelings as a compass when crafting intentions. Then get clear in your mind about what it is you want and how it is you want to feel.

Write It Down
Once you can clearly visualize your intentions, write them down. Make this a sacred practice. Light some candles, play some mellow music and get cozy. Make sure what you write is affirmative and empowering.

When we write our intentions down we make them real, we give them power.

Share It
Open up and share your intentions with the world.

When we feel supported, we feel empowered, confident and radiant. You never know who out there can help you manifest your dreams. There's strength in numbers.

Don't be shy. Open your heart and raise your voice.

Wear It
Wear your mala during your intention setting process and daily as a reminder of your goals and dreams. When you feel overwhelmed or anxious, take hold of the guru stone and feel the energy of the healing crystals guiding you to peace.

Your Mala beads encourage you to pause, breathe and realign with your deepest intentions.

Check In
Remind yourself daily of your intentions. Develop a spiritual ritual for yourself.

Maybe it's a morning meditation or an evening yoga practice. Use this time to count your blessings and align with your intentions.

Seven Essential Steps: The Power of Your Mind and Setting Intentions

If you're an ambitious and driven person, chances are you've heard the word intention thrown about:
Set your intentions...Be mindful of your intentions...Create powerful intentions...
But the term can be vague and convoluted. Is it a belief? A prayer? Is it having faith?

In simple form, your intentions are your thoughts directed toward a desired outcome. To be more complex, it's the realization that our consciousness has the ability to create our reality.

It's often ridiculed and passed off as Abracadabra BS, but scientific research on how the mind affects reality is growing.

Most common is the placebo effect, from sugar pills having the same effect as prozac, to non-alcoholic beer causing drunkenness, and fake surgeries improving health--our beliefs defy logic.

Mind over matter feats have been documented by monks draped in cold wet sheets, then used mediation to increase their body heat and dry the sheets.

The extent of our influence on matter and reality is taken further with the famous double slit experiment in quantum mechanics: showing that light/energy behaved differently -- as waves or particles with the presence of an observer -- as if the photons knew they were being monitored.

Physicists call it the Observer Effect, NASA scientists have commented, "The results of any observation seemed to be determined in part by actual choices made by the observer."
Mind-blowing stuff. If we'e able to influence reality at a subatomic level, what's the extent of the Observer Effect? What is the extent of the power of our intentions?
Ancient wisdom has told us:

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become."
- Buddha.

"You are what your deep driving desire is;
As your deep driving desire is, so is your will;
As your will is so is your deed;
As your deed is so is your destiny."
- The Upanishads

"Whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."
- Jesus.

More recently, Jim Carrey boils down his whole career to the power of intention: "Our intention is everything. Nothing happens on this planet without it. Not one single thing has ever been accomplished without intention."
When it comes to setting intentions toward your goals, here are 7 essential steps: 1. Let go of limiting beliefs.
We've seen how powerful the mind is -- don't put a limit on the extent that it can change reality. Believe big, see the world for it's abundance rather than limitations. See your personal potential as limitless rather than limited.
2. Be clear, but flexible.
Seneca said, "If one does not know to which port they sail, no wind is favorable."

Be clear and specific with the intentions you set: when do you want it to happen by, where will it take place, who you will you be with? But as you move ahead with it, be flexible with the journey, and how you get there. A detour may be a hidden blessing and steering you in the right direction.
3. Bring in all your senses.
Psychologists and therapists highlight the importance of VAK -- visuals, audio, and kinesthetic modalities in shaping our mind. When visualizing your intentions, use these modalities to make it as real in your mind as it'll be in reality; turn up the volume on the the people you're with, the color of the suit or dress you're rockin,' your bodily sensations and emotions as you celebrate.
4. Take action.
Like a horse and carriage, visualization needs to connect with hard work. Eat the elephant one bite at a time. Reverse engineer and break your goal down to pieces; then, don't hesitate or let fear hold you back from doing the most immediate action toward your goal. Do something daily that will bring you closer to your goal.
5. Celebrate the synchronicity.
There'll be times when things are too coincidental to be mere coincidence. Things fall into place and the intention becomes tangible. Celebrate these affirmations that you're on the right track. Use them as markers to go back to when you're feeling down, and keep moving forward with an eye open for the next synchronistic event -- when intention meets reality.
6. Bring in some backup.
With your close inner circle of friends, ask them to also set intentions for you. If one consciousness can alter reality, a community of combined consciousness no doubt will help you move mountains.
7. Exercise daily.
Just like a muscle, exercise your intention. Write it out daily -- be detailed with your dream and set yourself deadlines; create a vision board. Make your intentions so ingrained that you're beyond confident; that your actions become autopilot toward manifesting it.

Setting intentions is a powerful tool for helping us achieve happiness and fulfillment. They provide us with insight to our values, aspirations, and purpose and allow us live in the present moment while still aiming towards new achievements. While our goals are the desired outcome, setting an intention is a small step that allow us to experience achievement and peace, even if the goal is never reached.

When you are setting intentions for the day, and you say your intention out loud, it aligns your heart and mind and creates a meaningful purpose to fill your day. Choosing an intention each morning will help you stay focused and centered, even if there is chaos around you. Start each morning by energizing your intention with healing stones that compliment it and a meditation practice. This will ensure you've created the space to manifest your intention. You can also use your intention as a daily mantra that you repeat throughout the day to stay focused on your goals even as you go about your daily routine.

Crafting powerful intentions starts by setting goals that align with your life's values, aspirations, and purpose. An intention holds little power if there isn't a valuable reason for why you want to achieve it. Be sure to write down your thoughts as you follow these steps to creating goals that will add meaning to your life.
How to Set Intentions:

1. Decide what truly matters to you. Your values drive the actions in your life and recognizing what they are will help you find fulfillment. This is where the power of intention lies. Write down at least five things that truly matter to you. Some examples may be spirituality, happiness, kindness, wisdom, or health.

2. Explore the many areas of your life that need an upgrade. Goals should encompass more than one aspect of life, to ensure personal growth reaches its full potential. Consider how you can improve your relationships, career, social life, spirituality, health, and community. Using your core values to guide you, think about goals you want to set for each of these areas.

3. Be specific and thoughtful. When you are setting an intention for each of your goals, be specific about what you want to achieve, by when, and why you want to achieve it. Be sure to think about what you need to do to accomplish these goals and what might prevent you from achieving them.

Each month, focus on one of the goals that you'd like to work on. Set a positive intention that will help you achieve this goal. For example, if your goal is to develop a deeper meditation practice, you may set the intention of "I live in the present moment," to help you practice freeing your mind of the past and future. Keeping your daily intentions simple will keep you centered and foster change. If you've had success with your intention after a few days, try a new one with the same goal in mind.

When you are setting your intentions, you can incorporate healing stones and crystal energy bracelets into the process. Wearing a crystal energy bracelet that is aligned with your intention serves as a constant reminder of your intention. Every time you look down at your wrist, you will be reminded of the intentions and goals you set for yourself that day. If you are placing an energy crystal atop your written intention, every time you see it in your space, you will think about your intention and live with that intention. Healing crystals also help to magnify your intentions and goals, constantly putting them out into the universe so they can manifest themselves much quicker.

The important thing to remember when setting intentions is that they help create the present moment. Regardless of if you ever achieve your goal or not, intentions bring you in line with the reason why you want to accomplish those goals. They help create value in your daily life by providing motivation to achieve something in the moment rather than in the future. Your success simply relies on doing one thing a day that supports your intention.
