Thoughts vs. Intention

I've had dinner a couple of times with Dr. Garland Landrith, a cutting-edge quantum field psychologist and energy healer, whose research was cited in the highly-acclaimed film, What the Bleep!? He's a fascinating guy, and a deep thinker.

In one of our conversations he said thoughts and intentions were two different things.

This fascinated me, as it coincides with my own personal discoveries. I asked him to explain. He said -

"Intentions are the backdrop to your life, while thoughts come and go over that backdrop."

This seemed uncannily similar to my own practice of having an intention (or inspiration) as I enter what I call the "white board," and then releasing that intention as I sit in that space. Any thoughts are just clouds floating by. They aren't needed or paid much attention to.

But Dr. Landrith has some refinements that I found powerful.

He went on to tell me that in his quantum meditations people could get results faster if they practiced three things:

' Have an intention

' Let go of that intention

' Let thoughts be around phrases such as "yes yes yes" and "I love you" and "I am so blessed."

This might not mean much to you until you realize Dr. Landrith has been involved in hundreds of scientific studies proving this new way of meditating and manifesting works.

The key seems to be this:

' Letting go is more important than having an intention

' Thoughts around positive words creates an energy vortex that attracts the positive

As we explored all this over dinner, we both agreed that intentions were not as important as we previously thought.

Yes, it's good practice to want something benevolent as an intention, but it's not essential.

By letting go into that background energy of life, and by keeping thoughts circulating around positive words and phrases, you naturally create an outcome for your highest good.

In other words, learning to make the paradigm shift to see the miracle of right now, enables you to stay in the flow of life where miracles are the norm.

When you're there, who needs intentions?

We agreed that one of the best ways to get into that Divine Groove is with gratitude.

I've written about this many times and in many places. When you feel grateful for something, anything, in this moment, you alter the signal that comes out of this moment to attract more of the same vibe to match it in future moments.

In short, what you feel now tends to attract what you'll be experiencing next.

Again, this part isn't anything new, as it's basic Law of Attraction, and it's a gentle reminder to watch your thoughts. But the more you can get your thoughts to circulate around positive words and phrases — such as "yes, yes, yes" and "I love you" — the more you can upgrade your inner vibe to attract the miracles you seek.

But there's also a little more to this secret:

Let your background intention be whatever you want to manifest, but let yourthoughts be of the most elevated nature you can imagine.

See the difference?

Your intention is just a white canvas with a painting on it. The painting is what you would like to manifest. But your thoughts as you look at that painting need to be positive ones in general.

And your overall attitude is one of, "Not my will, but thine, be done."

No pressure.

No deadline.

Of course, you still take action when you're inspired to do so, but it's not driven by a need to do so.

Dr. Landrith has a DVD worth looking at called Tap Into Bliss. It shows how to use EFT (tapping) with other modalities to remove obstacles and, as he puts it, "get high." Good stuff.

He and I plan to host a small seminar on how to combine what he teaches with ho'oponopono. It'll probably be in a few months in the Austin, Texas area. Stay tuned for details.

Meanwhile, look at the miracle of right now.

Pretty cool, isn't it?
