Lynne Mc Taggart is an internationally recognized spokesperson on the science of spirituality and the award-winning author of five books, including The Field, which has been published in fourteen languages and inspired the wildly successful cult classic movie What the BLEEP We Know!? She is also co-executive director of Conatus, which publishes some of the world’s most respected health and spiritual newsletters, including “What Doctors Don’t Tell You” and “Living the Field”. 

In her new book, Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World: The Intention Experiment, she explores the science of intention, a glimpse into pur nature as human beings. She makes the readers question themselves and their own thoughts and intentions.
You will probably also want to do your own exploring into human nature and the concept of “we are what we think, and what we think and intend is the reality that we create”. This book is a reminder to pay attention, not just to our intentions, but to the very thoughts that seem to drift innocently through our minds without much notice. Of course, we also will be reminded to pay attention to our actions, which are often a direct result of our thinking and our intentions.
Thoughts bring intentions, intentions bring actions, and actions bring consequences.  This is not just a new age theory. This is a science, a very interesting study which delves into the origins of actions and consequences.
There is a chapter called “The Voodoo Effect,” which includes a great deal of information from scientific research and studies on negative intentions. “These studies raise an obvious question: Which is more powerful, a positive or a negative thought? In some studies, the will to harm appears to be the stronger of the two intentions.That makes sense in a study like Blasband’s where it is probably far easier to damage a healthy system than to fix something that is broken or to give order to a disordered system. Nevertheless, effective intention of any kind is required order and deliberately focused thought. Although negative intention appears capable of disrupting the most fundamental biological processes when precisely targeted, one study suggests that healing does not require negative intention.” A Qi-Gong master is capable of immense positive energy focus to effect healing.

The best way to avoid, or protect yourself from, bad influences is not to fear them. They will act on people who are afraid, and stick to them like glue. I’ve seen people who have an aura as pure as a crystal, who radiated light. And then I’ve seen these same people, without their being aware of it themselves, degenerate through contact with people whose energy is negative. Even associating with people who have negative energy (especially prolonged contact) can cause your aura to become stained, ragged, and polluted. It’s like putting flowers into a dirty vase with only polluted water for them to drink. That’s how negative energies get started and break down all the pure and positive energies.
“The Intention Exercises”.  An excerpt from “Choose Your Intention Space,” is the part that I liked the most: “A number of scientific studies suggest that conditioning your space magnifies the effectiveness of your intentions. Choose a place [to carry out your intentions] that feels comfortable.  Clear away extraneous items and make it personal or appealing, with cushions or comfortable furniture, so that whenever you spend time there you will find it an enjoyable refuge, a place where you can sit quietly and meditate. Use candles, soft lights, and incense....”
In the “Be Compassionate” chapter, you will find the following recommendation: During your intention session, *Focus your attention to your heart, as though you are sending light to it. Observe the light spreading from your heart to the rest of your body. Send a loving thought to yourself, such as ‘May I be well and free from suffering.”*On the out breath, imagine a white light radiating outward from your heart. As you do, think, ‘I appreciate the kindnesses and love of all living creatures. May all others be well.’ As Buddhists recommend, first think of all those you love, then think of your good friends.  Move on to acquaintances, and finally to those people you actively dislike. For each stage, think:’ May they be well and free from suffering. Concentrate on kindness and compassion... Finally, send your message of compassion to all people and living things on Earth.”
We have all had the experience of knowing that an intention led us to a thought that lead us to an action…  and sometimes that action was negative, yet overpowering. That’s why it is so important to focus on the positive, to pay attention to our thoughts and intentions. Sit down, meditate, and get clear about who you really are, what you really want, what you really intend to have, to be, to do in this life. Surround yourself with positive energies and thus evolve spiritually.
The path to happiness has been outlined for us here. Armed with this wisdom, we can take responsibility and direct the consequences in our lives, no longer feeling as if we are pawns of fate. I highly recommend this book.
