Intent

As a child I recollect losing something “precious” and praying until I found it. My mind summons up numerous instances where my mother had forbidden me from doing something, however I went ahead and ultimately it turned out my mother was right! It felt unfair, like... the universe was conniving with my mother!! “I told you so” is a maxim that I got/get to hear umpteen times!

Déjà vu! Wow! Hey this is happening only now, but I feel like I have been there done that! It’s a dream or worse still a nightmare come true!

Have you ever felt this way before? I know I did! My mind’s tries to find a rationale. Sometimes I attribute it to age and experience of the elders, some other time it is intuition, many a time am unable to find a convincing answer.

I believed that I was a very intuitive person and if something happened the way I envisioned wow!, it was my intuition. I was quite proud to be an intuitive person and gladly told myself and people around – hey look I predicted this and that. Felt good, great and even better when people would say – hey su what do you feel will happen? I want to know what your forecast is...

It is then that a friend introduced me to a concept called  ” Power of Intent”. When you want something to work, and think about it all the time, pray for it, it is actually your intent developing into reality! Think about a few instances that may have happened to you. Maybe your reverie of a vacation or dream job just came true! Maybe you called in late due to a flat tyre or faked an illness, and somehow the event that you spoke about became truthful.

Another friend of mine, would note down what she wanted, whether it was a baby or a car and stuck it up on her refrigerator with a date to it. It never failed her!! There was no magic in her refrigerator or the note, the charm lay in her mind and the power of her intent. When she believed so strongly in something, it did come true.

I have experienced this recently and yes it does not fail. Believe in yourself and harness that “power” within you. Keep your intent in the right spirit and you will see it work wonders for you! If the word “but” appears you will see the power disappear. Stay away from saying hey I intend to exercise but I cant because I have no support.

 So watch what you do and what you say for you never know when the universe is conniving to grant your wish!!

Look out for more in this series..and join me in my EXPEDITION.

Cheers

THE "WALL"

The Wall!

I looked forward to a day of catching up on gossip with old friends, laughing about how we conned cops riding our bikes with  doubles in the pillion! or how we danced in the rain, adam teased boys who walked into "Mount CarmeI College" or bunked classes only to bump into the veritable "Sr G"- principal of MCC!.

Nostalgia surfaced and so did a whole lot of other incidents and memories. The restless me kept looking at my mobile wondering if the signal was low or if there were any calls that I had missed. The day passed through with a few calls when I started feeling that something was amiss, rather I was missing something. It could not be true that my dearest ones would not talk to me....

It was then that the "Wall" dawned onto me!  I looked at the wall and stared at it, it was definitely not blank. Myriad messages and wishes seemed to be filling it up in seconds. Like the dominos effect many who looked at my wall also messaged me! I must admit I did smile at my Wall!. I would like to call it the Virtual Wall that we all are victims to. To my virtual happiness there lay messages and wishes from numerous friends from far and near! As much as I loved reading and responding to them, I could not help but feel, this wall has crept in and intruded our days and lives so much, that now it is actually easier to message on a FB wall rather than talk! The comparision catapulted me to the time where we would make hand made cards and posted colourfuly written inland letters for birthdays!

What did stand out as a contrast that while my freinds were walling me, people from my Virtual relationships like my Bank, Mutual Fund, Jewellery store, my car dealer all called in to wish me personally on my birthday!!

This cliche was somewhat confusing and yes did leave a strange feeling through the day!

So ended my virtual Birthday yet with a vow to ensure that next time around I would rather talk than Wall my friends!!

Cheerios folks
