Why Your Intention Is So Important

[@Cowface]

Buddhists have a concept of “right intention” which has always resonated with me

[@TheSapphireLeo]

Same!

[@vinged]

@@TheSapphireLeo Hm, in general., living alone, with other men's, no family, no kids, no wife, no parents, no pets, no home, no progress, no growth, no expansion... This reality is set for expansion, growth, and experience. I think it's a little boring. But everyone lives as they understand and feel in the moment. All is good :)

[@berniv7375]

@@vinged Boredom comes with materialism.🌱

[@sicsempertyrannis4351]

Vikings have the same concept of "right action."

[@sicsempertyrannis4351]

@@vinged A closed system can't support eternal expansion and growth. It's about balance, not expansion and growth.

”A person has an intention for doing anything that they do. That intention can be conscious or that intention can be subconscious. It can also be both. A person can also have multiple intentions as well as mixed or contradictory intentions”. Teal Swan. Thank you Teal 🌎

[@cm-yu6gu]

Thankyou teal and thankyou for writing it I love when people include quotes in the comments

[@sekhmetama3305]

In other words, be honest with the reason behind my actions that way I limit or eradicate disappointments and conflicts in myself and with others? Got it Teal, thank you for this awareness. 💕

[@TheMediumChannel]

Absolutely, intention can move mountains. Everything is energy and subconsciously we broadcast our intentions out into the world and the world cannot help but to subconsciously pick up on our intentions and treat us in accordance. The solution as always is to become present and allow the subconscious to become conscious, then the dynamic and interplay of energy becomes revealed and a whole new reality opens up to you, a reality where you become a conscious creator rather than a victim of circumstances created by your own unresolved subconscious shadows.. like the example of the tennis player who signs up for tournaments just to receive approval from his dad..

How does one set an intention?

[@self_learning_guide]

@@meenakshiupadhyay Simply I'm doing this; 1stly; Generate an idea/thought that I'd like to achieve.. 2ndly; Figure out a proof for it throughout my daily actions.. Finally; Remember to recall this idea/thought inside my mind after doing my "proof" of action..

[@aishwaryamanjunath8177]

Teal, i just want to say this , thank you. You have literally changed the way I see life.❤ Sending you lots of love ✨

[@LadyNefe786]

Islam has the concept of proper intention. It's incredibly important and we have a saying that even if you do something wrong but intended to do the right thing, it counts as a good deed.

[@andylyon3867]

I meet so many people who judge others for their intention in a very sick ego way while thinking this makes them a "good" person.

[@WarTitan888]

If you find it hard to identify your intentions regarding something, try asking yourself “why”. “Why am I doing this?” “Why do I want this?” Etc

[@RonaldWeasleysWife]

Perfect, thank you!

[@kamalsarraj-andaloussi5593]

One Moroccan proverb I must share from my kingdom’s cultural riches. « Just have faith and you can sleep with a viper( and not be hurt », which is perfect in relationships, the other person man or woman regardless could have some wicked plans to why they want either enter your life or lure you in theirs. However if your intentions are of the outmost pristine substance intention can be made of , then you have brought to bed intentions made of a substance not even a viper could sully.

[@kawtarborji7478]

Now i see that our moroccan quote IS actually true 😅

[@AkanbiOri]

Amazing content! This is actually the first of all Hadith (documented sayings) of Prophet Muhammed who said "Every action is directed by the intention behind it"

[@popculturephase2]

When you described Michelle's friend who approached helping her move with the intention of making Michelle indebted to her, I felt SO SEEN. My fiance and I have a friend who did the exact same thing - different circumstances. I remember her acting like by her agreeing to what she did that we'd apparently agreed to an entire other set of stipulations...like we'd unknowingly signed a contract. Turns out she just did what she did "for us" so she could then use our "indebtedness to her" later on. We didn't buckle. So happy that we didn't.

[@EtherealMaryJane]

Intention is the most powerful form of telepathy. 🤲 My intention is to give and receive in flux with the cinetic flow of the universe for myself and in the best interest of all that get to cross my path. All that meets my eye will encounter my intention of peace. ✌️.

[@sayusayme7729]

Grateful for your wisdom 🦉💗

[@lightstream3]

Thank you for all the good that you do ❤️

[@marialeina5866]

I believe this 100% and also that intention is not something "invisible" to others. With our subconscious or with our instinct, not sure with what, but we all catch anothers intention. Hence "something doesn't sit right " about someone. Or "something sits right" , not to be negative 😊

[@Elizabethpepper8]

I have deep admiration for Teal's mindfulness, curiosity, and passion for truth and understanding. So it gives me a sense of pride to discover she found the importance in understanding something I was drawn too as well. "Actions speak louder than words," was a favorite quote growing up. When I became an adult, I realized that it's the intention, not the action to focus on. My application is different than Teal's, but the same conclusion; its the intention that tells you about a person, not their actions.

[@ajcraft-hello]

Thank you. One of the clearest explanations, w/ examples, of why INTENTION IS KEY.

[@LulitaRibbon]

I feel like intention is the second step in manifesting, the first step would be your vibration. If you vibrate low, you will have an intention that haves some kind of resistance, and that resistance will manifest a negative outcome. If you vibrate high, you will have an intention with positive focus, and that positive focus will manifest a positive outcome.

[@sea111]

Hi Teal please make more videos about law of mirroring and how to control it in emergency cases

[@lauraluey]

I really love the examples that you give, when explaining different concepts. It helps my mind to understand what you are trying to get across so much easier 🙏🏻😌

Very timely, I was grappeling with an intention that was not congruent with how I have to approach an issue with an aquaintance.

[@Alem_Mehari]

Responsibility links intention with outcome. Where one accepts full responsibility there is no blame, guilt or causes for things. There is only intentional happenings.

[@risewithangelle]

So timely. I am currently training. I was instructed by my guides to speak with intent and so I try my best to act with intention as well

[@danzwku]

The word for intent in Chinese, 意, contains the word or prefix 心, which means heart. Make of that how you will.

[@OneaeBlack]

From the heart, we start with intention, not to mention our instinctual creation from within are all examples of the meditations that could be taken before decisions. Choices, variety of options around us, round us like overwhelm thus there is frustration at times. Day to day, sun ray to moonlight the intentions we make in fact, exactly what's needed for precision. 90's kid out.

[@pharmclare]

Well explained insights 👍

[@Passiyona]

I wish Teal would read this: Teal there is a very powerful song that reminds me of your teachings but in an indirect way maybe... The music, the lyrics OMG. The song is called UNDISCLOSED DESIRES for MUSE

[@mxvega1097]

The teachings of Hui Neng are useful: where you're coming from will determine where you end up. This is a gross and crude interpretation, as most are, but Hui Neng's reflections on the sutras are so interesting because he wasn't educated, or learned, and had an innate sense of right mindfulness, which leads to right thinking, leads to right speech, action, and consequences. The most luminous insights are those before he even got into the temple!

This is an incredibly important video. It pretty much covers all aspects of our conscious and unconscious lives.

I think it is the motive beneath the intention that shapes the outcome of our actions.

What difference do you think there is between 'motive' and 'intention?'

Genius perspective shared yet again!

[@peterchandler9014]

Interesting concept. I learned from it although have always felt in most situations if my intentions were wrong I wouldn't involve myself.....

[@WilliamRamsey-n5h]

Intentions are always conscious for any intention to be clear. If not clear about what you attempt to do whether unconscious or conscious/confused there is no intent. There is no compass guiding behavior consistent to the priority outcome course correcting as state changes with the target outcome focused toward resolving actions to the current step of the plan of actions options leading to the target realized as the unknown

[@earth-air-water-fire-aether]

If there was some things that helped me understanding something at a young age, was fitness (pushing the limits of mind), (weightlifting pushing the limits of body), it wouldn't have happened without intentions, that was very good for my soul or spirit. Rugby also taught me about a philosophy in life, that also helped me a lot early in life and having strong foundations, boundaries and "kicking goals". I think that's why I find Teal hilarious, with her quirks (that's just how I look at people in general in my life and internet), intelligence is what I seek in man and woman, and it's riveting to surround myself in, and is very likened to doing "sets" or circuits that have me on a high giggling walking up and down between those or talking to people speaking something that's factual or truthful.

[@ruby9796]

Could you do more video about intention?? How can i understand more my intention, how can i change bad intention to s good intention

[@Marion-v9h]

People are by nature hypocritical. Our intention, in most cases, is to show the outside world who we are not. As Teal has done in another video, to get anything done, you need discipline. An intention on its own is never enough, you need an iron will to make that intention happen and stick to it. An intention means nothing, they are just words. You actually have to do the work and most of us are lazy. We want it all but don't want to do anything for it.

I love Teal, the hard work she has done on this path truly shows out in the sheer clarity and articulation of what she is teaching or presenting, the way she presents complex concepts with real life, relatable examples, is very enlightening, she is a great teacher, and i am so thankful to have found her on my journey. I feel truly supported and empowered whenever I listen to her.✨🙏🏻

[@marinaBSNRN]

Neurobiology also plays a role. If primitive parts of the brain r engaged then higher consciousness cannot or has hard time "winning" over. Not all behavior is under conscious control.

[@aniokay]

YES Teal. Right at the right moment for me. Kisses to you.
