“Our intentions establish the direction for what we will cultivate.
*
Once an intention is set, the mind and body instantly orient toward that perception.
*
Before you are consciously aware of a physical movement or personal decision, intention has mobilized and established the inclination.
*
This interaction of mind and body occurs in all activities—the familiar impulse to reach for the doorknob on a closed gate, the movement of a hand brushing hair off the face, the decision to drink when we are thirsty.
*
Actions don’t happen only in the body; they result from an intricate interrelationship of body and mind.
*
Momentary impulses, springing from your contact with the myriad perceptions you encounter, shape the countless choices you make everyday.
*
Being mindful of intentions presents an opportunity to explore how this mind-body process works, how a thought leads into an action.
*
Intention is the basis of all deliberate action.
*
Intentions are subtle forms of thought that link a mental impulse to physical action.
