Have you ever felt as if you are beating your head against a wall? You repeatedly try to achieve an intention but you never seem to get there. Instead you are struggling rather than moving forward and manifesting your intentions with ease and grace.
You are not alone. The struggle to move from what we don’t want to what we do want is, unfortunately, a fundamental struggle for many individuals. Believe it or not, it is very common for people to struggle against what they want and to actively limit their good.
In order to have what you want, you must be willing to end the struggle and move into action- the key to manifesting your intentions. Your success is dependent on your ability to reach your intentons and achieve them.
The easiest way to move from “stuck” into action without struggle is to be authentic and to be in alignment with your authenticity.
Authenticity means that you are connected to your core and that your desires are a true reflection of your inner self and soul. Alignment means that your entire being is in agreement with the intention you want to manifest. For example, you come home from work one evening and you are very tired. But this evening is your workout night. You sit on the couch and actually have to talk yourself into getting into your gym clothes and heading off to the gym. What you did in convincing part of yourself to go to the gym when it really wanted to rest on the couch is called alignment. You got yourself into alignment with the idea and intention of going to the gym no matter how tired a part of you felt.
To end struggle and successfully and move into actually manifesting your intentions, all parts of you must work together. That means all bodies- mental, physical, emotional and spiritual, must be in agreement concerning an intention. There can be no doubts, limiting beliefs or attachments. The following describes a process you can use to do an authenticity check concerning your intentions and bring yourself into alignment with them.
Step One: Sit quietly. Create a peaceful, serene and nurturing space for yourself. It must be a space where you feel comfortable and secure. Spend several minutes in quiet and inner reflection upon your intention. Have paper and pen handy.
Step Two: The authenticity check. Ask within if this intention is the appropriate one for you to manifest at this time. If the answer is yes, skip to the next step. If the answer is no, ask what a more appropriate intention would be for you right now.
By asking this question, you move from being ruled by the needs of the mind (survival issues) and begin to access the soul within. You leave behind the petty desires of the ego and move into realizing the desires of the soul. As a result, your intentions become truer and more authentic- they become aligned actions.
Write down the response you receive. If you need additional clarity concerning the response, ask for it. Keep asking within until you feel complete.
Step Three: Alignment. Once you have a defined an authentic intention, it is time to create alignment. Remain in your space of quiet and comfort; ask to speak to your mental body. (You will repeat step three with each of the bodies) Ask your mental body if it is willing to be in alignment with your intention. The purpose of this question is to uncover any blocks or limitations that reside in the mental body concerning the intention. If the answer is yes, proceed to the next body: physical, spiritual and emotional.
If the answer is no, simply begin a conversation with this part of you. Some questions to begin with are: Why are you not willing to be in alignment with this intention? What would it take for you to be in alignment?
When a part is not willing to be in alignment with an authentic intention, the cause may be fear or insecurity. Usually the situation is remedied by helping the part understand that it is taken care of, that it is safe and that it has nothing to fear. Simply, have a conversation with the part and inform it of the truth.
Once you receive the willingness of all the bodies, remember to thank them for supporting the manifestation of this authentic intention. Affirm your alignment with this intention and your desire to manifest it.
By completing this process, you have created an authentic intention and brought yourself into full alignment with it. You can now move forward without struggle because all blocks have been removed. Success shall be yours.
