The power of intention goodreads
5 years a committed follower of these teachings: ultimately more harmful than helpful. These teachings do seem great and feel great at first, but eventually I found them harmful, not helpful. A word to the wise, if something seems too good to be true: IT IS. I was thoroughly committed to these teachings for 5 years. It took me on an emotional high. I felt that my life was amazing and felt I knew the secrets of the universe. This is mainly what this book does: tells you all good news and teaches you to manipulate your mood so you feel good about everything and deny anything negative. That's why it has all the rave reviews. Drugs would get rave reviews too if we didn't know any better So, does it work? It is a dangerous mix of helpful and harmful information. I know that I felt better and more empowered than ever, which tends to happen when you buy into a philosophy that says you are all-powerful, there is never any reason to feel bad, and you must feel good to get everything you want. Lies can lead to positive change, can they not? The A- H material does promote self-worth, self-efficacy, a better outlook, considering what you want in life, etc. Some of the results I experienced were genuine shifts because of my more expanded thinking plus being in better touch with myself and believing in myself. But a lot of the results were emotional hype, temporary, ultimately unhelpful, and not based in truth. There are so many other avenues to an improved life, and I strongly recommend those that are not rife with falsehoods like the ones sprinkled liberally throughout the Abraham- Hicks ideology. First of all, this information is being channeled from an unknown source. Abers don't care, they are fiercely in love with Abraham and think that they know everything they need to know by listening to beautiful words that fill them with hope and love and excitement. Now that I am no longer.
Frank lent me this book to make use of the first few days of February I spent waiting in his garage for my car to be finished. Somewhat surprisingly, it has opened me up a little despite some of the over-the-top metaphysical discussions. As with all self-help books, you take away the parts you find meaningful to you and let the rest dispose of itself. Upon finishing this book, I was amazed at the sort of impact it had on my inner-monologue. The main message is that you create your own reality wit Frank lent me this book to make use of the first few days of February I spent waiting in his garage for my car to be finished.

Upon finishing this book, I was amazed at the sort of impact it had on my inner-monologue. The main message is that you create your own reality with your thoughts and actions. While I already knew this, putting it into practice is a little trickier. Sometimes reading a whole book to confirm what you already know is what it takes to put ideas into action. Like some other books I've read recently, The Power of Intention serves as a reminder to be privy to outside conditions and how they might affect our moods and well being. Eating too much food, overdoing it with caffeine and alcohol, letting loud TVs and music interrupt our peace, and associating with toxic people can have larger effects than we can imagine on how we treat others and view ourselves. We have to train ourselves to be of the mindset the conditions we want are already present. There is an abundance of goodness in this world, and the only thing that keeps us from seeing it are the thoughts we create. I like that he points out in no uncertain terms that stress and anxiety.
The Intention Experiment gathers evidence, culled mostly from rigorous scientific studies, in support of the healing power of intention. Although the book is written for a popular audience, it includes a comprehesive bibliography and notes. If you're a nerd like me, that's a good thing. Another noteworthy thing about the book is that it inspired the movie, What the Bleep Do We KNow. The premise of the book is that intention not only works, but when used collectively effects change on a macro.more The Intention Experiment gathers evidence, culled mostly from rigorous scientific studies, in support of the healing power of intention.

Another noteworthy thing about the book is that it inspired the movie, What the Bleep Do We KNow. The premise of the book is that intention not only works, but when used collectively effects change on a macro level. In her preface, Lynne Mc Taggart writes, What on Earth, I wondered, was meant by intention? And how can one be an efficient intender? This question resonated with me as I was asking myself the same question about, not only the meaning of intention, but about how I could go beyond the buzzword and effectively use it to live a better life. The chapters include explorations of quantum reality, and how place, time, attitude, and emotion are determining factors in the practice of intention. Provocative proposals include the idea that intention can affect the past, present, and future. So, in other words, you can rewind, replay, and revise. This is qualified by evidence that suggests that the less a physical reality or object has been seen and agreed upon, the more malleable it is on a quantum level. Perhaps it does matter if a tree falls and no one hears it. The most interesting part to.

He first pursued an academic career, publishing in journals and running a successful private therapy practice, but his lectures at St. John's, which focused on positive thinking and motivational speaking techniques, attracted students beyond those enrolled. A literary agent persuaded Dyer to package his ideas in book form, resulting in Your Erroneous Zones; although initial sales were thin, Dyer quit his teaching job and began a publicity tour of the United States, doggedly pursuing bookstore appearances and media interviews ( out of the back of his station wagon, according to Michael Korda, making the best-seller lists before book publishers even noticed what was happening.
