Setting
a Clear Intention
by Katalin Koda
As the New Year approaches, our thoughts
often turn to
letting go of the old, making new plans, and forming New Year’s
resolutions. The New Year is our chance to reinvent ourselves, to take
stock of what we have experienced over the past year and what we hope
to welcome in as the seasons turn. This year in particular, with its
incredible changes in the political climate, the economy, and
encroaching environmental problems, turning within and finding our
personal spiritual sustenance becomes all the more important, necessary
even, to maintain a balanced and positive outlook as things,
materially, may be crashing down around us. One of the best ways to
begin our new year, a new project or plan or even one new day is by
setting a clear intention. By taking time to do this very simple act,
we can start to reprogram our entire lives with a positive outlook and
clarity. Setting a clear intention in our day, and more specifically
healing, is just one of the concepts explored in Sacred Path of
Reiki: Healing as a Spiritual Discipline.
Setting a clear intention is like
shooting an arrow into the future. The more precise the intention is,
the better the aim to hit your target. The purpose of setting an
intention is the final destination and not the way we arrive. The
journey usually unfolds in unexpected ways and being open to that makes
it all the more interesting. We can set intentions for several reasons:
to manifest abundance in our lives, to be more connected to a community
that supports us, to change our livelihood, to open ourselves up to a
more loving relationship. How this manifests specifically is not the
important aspect of setting the intention. Again, thinking of our
intention as an arrow, hitting a target, we look at the target, not the
flight path. In the same way, once we have a specific intention we want
to shoot into the Universe, we are calling that future, that dream
towards us, pulling our destiny into the present moment.
When we decide to set an intention for
our lives, it is best to do so in a positive, present and affirmative
manner. We want to avoid negative intentions, such as ‘I will not eat
sugar,’ but instead, “I intend a healthy and nurtured body.” In this
way we are affirming a positive existence, not cultivating a sense of
guilt or inadequacy. For example, instead of intending more money to
flow into our lives, we might try to set our intention in a more
present and joyous way, such as: “I am loving the abundance in my
life.” This allows us to begin to shift out of a poverty mindset into
one of abundance and wealth. Another way to look at this is, if you
want more, desire less. Again we are attempting to pull our destiny,
our deepest desires into a state of Nowness, of eternal presence that
honors all of our being and our capacity to be overflowing with love
and peace. We are shifting our way of looking at the world as a place
that does not have enough for us, but instead is in a continuous
abundance with us.

UFOs and Alien Abductions: What
is the Truth?
by
Colin Wilson
For Colin Wilson, author of Alien
Dawn, the idea of UFOs and flying saucers was a bit
disturbing, because to him it seemed that the truth of space was beyond
human knowledge. But with so many abductees coming forward and renowned
scientists examining facts too compelling to be dismissed, what is the
truth behind UFOs, aliens, and abductions?
