The Power of Deliberate Intent (Raising the Healing Vibration)

What power is there in deliberate intent? Perhaps you have born witness to thoughts creating result as I have. I have felt the power that comes from manifesting with intentional thought, but this week, as a loved one faced brain surgery, I wondered whether I was powerful enough to raise the healing vibration for him on my own. My desire to make a difference was so strong that I decided to enlist a few more bodies (minds) for the cause. Indeed, the power of deliberate intent is dramatically magnified when multiplied by hundreds of souls, all sending love and positive energy at the same moment in time, just when it is most needed.

This week, I fell into a pattern of negative emotions that is quite commonly experienced by those who have to look on at a loved one who is suffering. I felt powerless as I sat at home in Newfoundland while my boyfriend was across the country for a week having surgery for a benign brain tumour. The wave of emotions that were constantly churning kept me distracted, unable to focus on home, work, play or peace. The full week seems like a blur. Again, I am sure if you have had a go through a similar experience, you may have felt like this. What I learned upon reflection of the process I went through is this: When we feel there is nothing we can do, no way that we can make an impact, no escape from the fear in our hearts, no turning off the tears – when we find ourselves consumed by our fear-based thoughts, we CAN turn it around. All we have to do is PAUSE. (For more information about this concept, see my website: http://embracingpotential.com.)

After I decided that I no longer wished to be consumed by these fear-based emotions and thoughts of helplessness, I PAUSEd, took a breath (several, actually) and got grounded. I emptied my mind of all the fear, all the uncertainty, and doubt. When I was able to open up my soul, the answers came: when you feel helpless, there IS always something you can do. The answer will always come once you PAUSE and open yourself up to the answers – you already have them within you. When you are in a place where fear resides, you are closed off to the possibilities. You are closed off to love. And love holds all the answers.

A walk in the woods always helps me. That is how the process often starts for me. That is how I Pause. This week was no exception. A few quiet moments overlooking the pounding surf on a chilly October morning provided me with the clarity I was seeking.

I was gentle with myself as I accepted responsibility for having created the pain I was feeling. Accepting that I could control only one thing in this situation – my response to it – was a great relief. I was not responsible for anything else.

I understood that the sense of hopelessness was completely of my own creation and I was ready to let it go. It wasn’t serving me or anyone else. I recognized that I was experiencing many of the patterns of thought that have plagued me at other stressful times in my life. Underestimating our strength in tough times, is a trap laid by the ego. I was not interested in staying in that mindset for long.

I was ready to see what was possible in this situation. I opened myself up to the inspiration I found on that walk in the woods. I saw that my unique gifts could be used to make a contribution to the healing process and I could step up and make a difference. Although I couldn’t control the operation, I could not be there to hold his hand, I did believe with all my heart that I had the power within me to raise the healing vibration that could be felt when he needed it the most. Another epiphany: I did not have to do this alone! In fact, I planned to engage others to tap into the infinite power of the collective deliberate intent.

With this renewed sense of purpose, I bounded out of the woods, making calls on my Blackberry to people who I could enlist to help me raise the healing vibration. Within hours, I had established a facebook group that would call on people to deliberately sends their thoughts and prayers of healing energy at the same time. http://www.facebook.com/inbox/?ref=mb#/group.php?gid=161326706861&v=info&edit_info=all

It was powerful movement. I believe that this effort created an energetic wave that was not only felt by its intended recipient, but by everyone involved. We were collectively sending love out to the Universe… how could it not be a profound experience? I was embracing my potential from the time I emerged from the woods and as I did, I empowered others to do the same. That is me, living my life on purpose! That was my big Lesson Learned: when you feel powerless, turn to the power within – it is there, just waiting to be released! Here’s what I wrote to the group:

Since June, Kevin has been updating everyone through his blog (http://kpomroy.blogspot.com) and facebook about his condition and journey with Achmed. He is deeply grateful for the support shown by his large circle of family and friends. As D-Day draws nearer, however, it is getting more difficult for him to keep up with the texts, emails, wall posts, messages, etc. This is a place to record messages to Kevin that he can read leading up to his procedure on Wednesday, October 28th and beyond. A place for you to connect with him and others energetically with comments, poems, songs, pictures.

If you are here, it is because you already have a connection with Kevin and have his well-being in your thoughts. We are asking that, on Wednesday morning, you DELIBERATELY take some time to channel your healing energy towards Kevin’s health. Pray, meditate, play music, write, share a memory, smile… whatever you do, do it deliberately and know that your positive energy can and will be felt by him.

Our collective desire is that Kevin FEELS our healing energy all throughout his procedure on Wednesday and beyond as he recovers and resumes life as he loves to live it. The power of our collective thoughts can create miracles and it can raise the vibration between here and there. Let’s do this for Kevin and for ourselves. Let’s come together to make a difference!
