Hey Gang
Just wanted to share some thoughts and experiences about the connection between intention and results.
For quite some time I've been able to wake up a minimum of five minutes before the alarm rings, regardless of when the time is set, or how much or how little sleep I've had. I usually take a quick moment of consious focus on what time I want to wake up before releasing into sleep.
Earlier this week I did NOT have any focus at all before bed. The next morning I received a call with the question as to whether or not I was going to teach my morning class. I was surprised to find that I had overslept well past the starting time of the class. In several years of teaching, this was the first time it had happened. Upon reflection, I realized I had set no intention of waking at any particular time. (Fortunately the fitness center is close by, and I made it to class within seven minutes of the call. A quick gargle and spit and I was out the door).
Yesterday was our big family Thanksgiving, and I usually find myself on the floor rolling around with the kids doing some crazy yoga stuff. This year was no different, except this time THEY tried to teach me something--which left me with a knot on my chin and a displaced thoracic vertebra. Thanks kids! (It wasn't a major displacement, but it wasn't comfortable!)
BUT... as I was preparing for sleep that night, I set the intention that I would release all tension from my back so that it could realign during the night. To my amazement, the next morning my back was perfectly realigned. (I'm not suggesting that we dispense with Chiropractors just yet though...)
Which brings me to a question. Have any of you had any experiences setting intentions with your mind that manifested in your body? Please take a minute and share! I would love to hear of other examples of how you use intention (or whatever your particular focus is) to positively influence your physical self.
