Intention Setting Part 2: What lenses are we using to vision our future?

We are many to have experienced in the past, to be experiencing in this now and to experience in future frustrations as to manifesting our set intentions.
 
For most of us, when we are guided and led through sessions by a facilitator/coach/mentor/teacher/guide, we are able to move to a space of seeing, feeling, sensing, hearing and witnessing “what we want”.
 
This is the beginning of the enfolding of “that which our heart deeply seeks” from the creative matrix of Universe.
 

Yet, we are many to struggle to move beyond the point of vision setting.
We have a vision and despite all our sincere dedicated active efforts, the entirety of our visions if not parts of our vision remains un-manifested.
 

Why so?

Here is one recurring pattern that I have witnessed these past months in my coaching sessions with clients:

When we set intentions, how we process the world around us and how we perceive the future is crucial is the manifestation of that future.
The lenses that we are using to look at the future are pivotal in moving us either towards or away from “that which we have asked for”.
 

What lenses are you using to look at the future?
Lenses of the past? Lenses of the future?
 
I invite us all
|Pause| Breathe|
Become aware of space around us
Let our gaze roam
|Pause| Breathe|
 
Ask these questions
When I look at my present, what eyes am I predominantly using?
Do my eyes predict the next based on what I have already lived?
Do I fear that “that which I have asked for” will never happen?
Am I open to unfolding of newness and possibilities especially connected to known spaces, places and relationships?
How often do I hear myself say “well, it is impossible”?

 
Many of us tend to look at the future with the eyes of the past, this is an unconscious deeply rooted programming on autopilot mode.
We set intentions, yet the emotional charge of our past comes in dictating our vibrational alignment with that which we have asked for.
 
We set intentions, yet for many, the belief of the fear that it will not happen, the unworthiness, the memories of having been hurt, the imprints of the past experiences, the divorce, the loss of a job, the death, the losses and much more come in our way.

The Law of Attraction gifts us exactly that which we are vibrating.

 
We set an intention, yet deep within, we do not feel worthy enough to receive, we believe that we have struggle to make things happen, we believe that we need to close off to protect ourselves, we believe that external factors are key to us getting that which we have visioned…
The list is endless.
We get exactly that which we vibrate at an unconsciously level.
 

|Pause| Check|
How does this sit with you?

 
Our past eyes predict, especially catastrophes. Our past eyes caution. Our past eyes restrict. Our past eyes operate within a closed container for they are limited to the known possibilities and hurdles. Our past eyes demand that the other change, for our vision to manifest. Our past eyes worry about the external “how”.
 
Our future eyes are not limited to what we went through in the past and what we are experiencing in this now.
Our future eyes do not care whether we do not have enough money right here right now; whether we have had dysfunctional past relationships; whether we do not a car; whether we are homeless; whether we have been violated; whether we have violated..

Our future lenses is not restricted to the past for the future lenses is grounded in possibilities of openness, growth, healing, relating and much more.
 

|Simplify|
 
Intention setting is placing that seed deep in the darkness of earth’s womb.
The lenses that we are using to look at our future direct our energy and unconsciously, we use these lenses to nurture the seed and this nurture determines whether the seeds will set roots and grow into the plant that we envisioned for ourselves.

If we seek a future different from our past, for this is the very basis of visioning, then we are called activate new neuron pathways inside us.
Once these new pathways are activated, they grow in depth, network, density the moment we start focusing different compared to what we know and what we have used in the past.

 

 

 What are you nurturing your vision with?

What support do you need?

What is showing up for you right here right now?
 

Be kind
Be gentle with yourself
It takes bravery to keep running the redundant hurting cycles to survive
It takes equal bravery to step out of the redundant hurting cycles to gasp for air and gift yourself the chance of seeing otherwise.
Wherever you are regardless of what you believe about yourself, know that I see you and you are enough

 
 
Love from my heart to yours
