The basis of my Feng Shui philosophy rests on the interaction of these three powerful words.
To truly make positive changes in our lives and in our environment, we must first intend (think, believe) for those positive changes to happen.
Setting your intention is making a conscious and committed decision to believe certain experiences and outcomes can happen in your life; while at the same time releasing control over the how and when they will happen.
All too often we get so obsessed in reaching a certain goal or expecting an outcome to manifest a certain way that we miss out on opportunities and experiences that present themselves to us along the journery - right here, right now.
Next we must affirm that the changes are taking place. An affirmation is a positive spoken statement which helps a person work toward reaching a goal in a positive frame of mind. It is helpful to write the affirmations down on paper. This helps clarify the words before they are spoken, and strengthens the affirmation through the physical activity of commiting it to paper.
Thus, an action statement is a necessary physical activity to actualize change. By doing this, we bring about the manifestation of the unseen energy into our physical day-to-day world through our words and deeds.
It is then that we are able to achieve our desired results in ways we can actually see and experience in our day-to-day life. This is the physical result -- the positive changes we are seeking. Remember, you get what you intend...and not always what you expect!
