In Attraction Reiki Level I, we explored the idea of having that It
Factor (or X Factor). It Factor isnt necessarily based on how
spiritually evolved, talented, or nice you are. Its an energy that you
project.

We also explored belief and how this works to help or hinder your
ability to attract the positive into your life.

In Attraction Reiki Level II, we will explore intention, and how to use
the power of intention to help create positive changes in your life.

The power of intention is the power of creation. In many creation
myths, God created the world through the use of the word. The
word refers to the idea of speaking a thought out loud, thus making
it come alive.

Truly, if you consider that we are spiritual beings having a human

experience, then what is the world around us, but consciousness
made manifest? Every object you see was once just a spark of an
idea in the sea of consciousness.

If you believe that we are spiritual beings, then consider that our
thoughts possibly can and do often create our reality.

What does this mean? Does this mean that everything we think will
come true? Not necessarily.

When you are hungry, and think about a piece of pie, does one
magically appear in front of you? No.

Yet, it is said that when the soul passes over, there are other realms
of existence where thoughts are manifested instantly. For example, if
you think apple then an apple would instantly appear!

Of course, if every thought was manifested instantly here on earth,

then a lot of us would have major problems! Wed have all sorts of
good and bad things floating around us at any given moment in time!
It would be extremely overwhelming, to say the least.

In the movie What Dreams May Come, the character played by

Robin Williams ends up in heaven, where his thoughts start
manifesting the reality around him. The world he finds himself in looks
like a painting, because he loved his wifes paintings so much. This
led to very beautiful (though sometimes slippery) environs.

Unfortunately, when he tried to think himself some coffee, his coffee
tasted like paint! It took him a bit of concentration and practice to get
the hang of manifesting.

Consider that creating your reality with each and every thought would
require an intense amount of focus, clarity, and concentration. You
must be very, very clear on what you want! Many believe that part of
the reason we come to incarnate on the physical plane is because
here we can learn to manifest a little bit at a time. We are wearing
training wheels, as it were.

Because of this, we do not actually manifest all thoughts instantly

while on earth. Our manifesting skills simply arent that strong here on
the physical plane. (And lucky for us, actually do you want coffee
that tastes like paint?)

However, you can manifest and create things through the power of
your thoughts. It simply takes more concentrated will, attention, and
effort. This must be done through what Im going to call a clear
intention. The clearer and more concrete your intention is, the more
likely it is you will manifest it. (You can see why it is also important to
start with a foundation of belief first!)

To create a strong intention:

1. Describe the outcome you truly want, one that is within reach
and within reason.
2. State it in the present tense.
3. Hold the intention firmly in your mind.
4. Detach from the outcome.

Lets say you want to manifest some extra money. First, you must
describe the outcome you truly want. It is important that you truly
want it. Sometimes, we think we want something, but we really dont,
so we are at cross-purposes with ourselves. Having any sort of doubt
about what you want will block the manifesting.

For example, lets say you think you want to earn $250,000/year. But
when you really are honest with yourself, you really dont want the
added responsibility and/or work that might go along with that
5
Element Energy Center www.elementenergy.com
$250,000/year. In fact, the more you think about it, the more you
simply want to be financially stable, living in a humble but abundant
life. Your wanting the $250,000 was really you trying to impress your
parents and the neighbors it wasnt what you truly wanted.

The goal must be within reach and within reason. If your intention is
to become the next Britney Spears, but you are a 72-year-old man
who cant sing, well, youre reaching a little bit to say the least. So do
be realistic. If you are just coming off of welfare, dont immediately put
out an intention that within 2 weeks youll be a millionaire (unless you
are really a master manifestor!). Chances are, you wont make that
goal and then end up disappointed.

Our brains will block things if they dont make sense to us. So
make your intentions sensible and realistic. A little bit of a
stretch is OK, but not too much of one.

Once you reach your present goal, you can always add a new goal to
stretch even further. It is much easier for your brain to accept earning
$100, then $1,000, then $5,000, and then $10,000, then to
immediately start out trying to manifest $16,100 when $100 seems a
bit of a stretch.

Thus, sometimes it is best to break your intentions down into small

pieces. Start with something you can handle. Once youve
accomplished that, move on to the next level. Use your small
successes to increase your confidence so you believe you can
handle larger amounts! (Remember Attraction Reiki I its all about
BELIEF!)

Once you have figured out what you want, state it in the present
tense, such as:

I have an income of $75,000 per year.

Now, the important thing to do is hold the intention firmly in your

mind, while letting it go and allowing the universe to deliver it to you in
the perfect time and the perfect way. Detach from the outcome. Dont
stress about it. Go about your business and take whatever actions
are necessary to achieve your goal.

Co-Creation and Conflicting Intentions
One of the biggest misconceptions in the concept of attraction today
is the idea that we attract negative experiences to us, and that
includes when someone else does something bad to us. For
example, some say victims of wars or natural disasters attracted the
pain and suffering.

This is simply not the case. We are all co-creating this world together.
Everyone here has free will. You simply cannot change or control the
free will of another.

If you truly believe thats what life is about, then what you are living
really isnt a group effort at all, but more a two-dimensional video
game where the other players are not real people with their own
minds, but just projections of your thoughts.

The world is not like that. The world does not respond to your thought
alone. And, sometimes quite often in fact other people have other
ideas of what the world should be like.

Heres a question that comes up frequently on bulletin boards dealing

with the Law of Attraction: Did the victims of the Holocaust attract
their suffering to themselves?

I would say no. What I would say is this: At the time, the evil people
(Hitler and followers) had a stronger intention to perform harm, and
this intention (for at least a little while) overwhelmed any positive
intentions that the citizens of Germany had at that time. However,
when Hitler fell, it is because the collective intention of the world was
to see him fall and restore peace to Europe.

On a smaller scale, conflicting intentions play out constantly in our

lives. You may intend to have a committed marriage. But your
husband intends to stray. Your intentions conflict. You cannot change
him. If you truly intend to have a committed marriage, you may need
to leave him and find a man who shares your intention.

So remember, when crafting intentions, the following applies to any

intention you wish to create:
7
Element Energy Center www.elementenergy.com
 1. We all co-create the world together.
2. Some peoples intentions conflict with our own.
3. Often, whoever has the stronger, clearer intention wins.

So, for example, if you are vying for a job, and you have your heart
on it, and there is another candidate who has their heart set on the
same job and both of you are about the same in terms of skillset
and experience guess who will tend to win the job? The person who
has the strongest, clearest intention.

Please note that in all cases intention cannot be used to destroy the
free will or choices of another. It can influence someone, for sure, but
not remove their free will. Intention should not be used to manipulate
the world just for our own ends.

Dont Be a Control Freak Over Your Life

Sometimes, it is important for us to simply accept what is.
Sometimes, pain and suffering is simply a part of life here on the
physical plane. Everyone who comes here dies eventually. You will
know someone you love that will die. This will probably cause you
pain.

Did you attract death? Hardly. Can you intend for death to go
away? Nope.

Death is simply a part of life, and grieving is part of the letting go

process.

So remember while we do have influence over our lives, and often

other people, sometimes forces outside of ourselves have other
ideas. And sometimes no amount of positive intention can change
that.

So do we attract every single one of our experiences? No. The

randomness of life is what makes it a rich, three-dimensional
experience where other players and forces also influence us.

It is the difference between playing a one-person computer game

against a computer opponent, and playing an online multiplayer game
8
Element Energy Center www.elementenergy.com
with hundreds of real, human opponents. Most people will tell you
that games that involve other, real people and random variables are
more interesting, compelling, and ultimately satisfying.

In my opinion, many people say that we attract all our experiences

because they simply cannot handle the fact that sometimes (pardon
the French) shit happens. But that is the truth. Sometimes shit
happens. Your choice in the matter is how to respond to it. But you
cant control what I do anymore than I can control what you do!

It is a mistake, then, to try to use your intentions to control everything

in the world. First of all, it simply cannot be done. Second, the need to
attempt and control everything is in and of itself fear-based. Let go of
that fear.

Soon I will share some Reiki techniques to help manifest your

intentions. But remember that your intentions need to allow for co-
creation.

You cannot intend for a specific person to love you. You cannot
intend to make someone do your bidding. But you can intend to love
someone. And you can intend to make the best out of the gifts youve
been given.

Focus your intentions on creating things within your control. And

remember, we are all in this together.

Think about what it is you want. Picture it clearly in your mind. Is this
really what you want? Could it be better? Really focus on what it is
that you truly want and need in your life.

Once you can see or feel that image firmly in your mind, surround it
with a beautiful golden bubble of light. From there you may choose to
let the bubble float up by itself into the heavens, or perhaps you may
give the bubble to an angel or two who will place it somewhere safe
while it begins to manifest.

Sometimes its nice to let your angels do the work for you.

There are three new symbols for Attraction Reiki Level II. These are
all meant to help strengthen the power of your intention.

[[ ]]
Intention Mind
This symbol is actually used to concentrate your intention. Imagine
your intention is in the empty space in the middle of the symbol. See
energy being poured into the space from both sides.

You can also add a word or idea into the empty space. For example,
if you intend to have more love in your life, here are a few ways you
might use the symbol:

[[ love ]]
[[ love flows to and through me ]]
[[ I now attract the perfect partner ]]

11
Element Energy Center www.elementenergy.com
Intention Body
This is the symbol to bring the intention into the body. This symbol is
meant to ground and stabilize the intention, so it can manifest.

Intention Soul
This symbol represents the intersection of heaven and earth. It brings
spiritual power to your earthly manifestations. It also acts like angels
wings to guide and protect your intentions.

 &
Step 1. In the book Creating Money by Sanaya Roman/Orin, it is
recommended that you focus on the qualities that your
manifestation will bring you. For example, if you desire a new car,
then perhaps the qualities youd want would be safety, security, and
good gas mileage. Write down the qualities you want for your
intention here:

13
Element Energy Center www.elementenergy.com
Step 2. Using the qualities written above, write a clear, short
sentence about your intention. For example, I now have a car I love
that is safe, reliable, and sporty, with good gas mileage. Notice that
statement didnt pinpoint the brand or the amount of money the car
cost. This opens up your intention manifesting in the highest way
possible.

14
Element Energy Center www.elementenergy.com
Step 3. Place your intention into the Attraction Reiki Intention Mind
symbol and see the symbol grow bigger and filled with more positive
energy as you focus your will on your intention becoming a reality.

Step 4. Now let it go and let the universe take care of it!

By creating clear intentions for what you want, you actively create
your life instead of passively attracting it. It is through your focused
will and clarity that you not only take more positive actions to achieve
your goals, but others will feel your conviction and respond to you in
more positive ways.
