Usually I would practice this for a while and see how the experiment holds, but here I am.
After typing and proof reading, I have decided, due to excitement, me describing what intent is not will be deleted. And I hardly know how to describe saying what it is.
Doing "intent" excites me. And when I do it, I become more aware of myself and thoughts mainly. It is almost like super meditation IMO.
Not superior to, but the amount of
focus I can use is consistent and easy . It especially helps me with not falling into my
Distractions. I dont label or conceptualize what im doing any further than "intent". I know it's simply me vibrating in a specific way a, but at the same time i dont know what exactly is going on.
Now, why. What are the benefits? I usually have a good list of that, but I believe it is something for you to discover. Ill say because there is some mental connection or understanding of intent, it is a good substitute or
stepping stone for "be".
I believe there is
similar qualities and benefits as the same as be, but in its own way perhaps. a specific type of being...?
To add, intending is a visceral part of you. It doesnt matter what beliefs you have, what you feel, etc. It is something the DEEPEST part of you
does. Like walking. Its dam near invisible ; that you that puts forth the walking, but it's there. And intending (especially consistently) is
like you being over and over. So ill say
it's a good self discovery tool.And we all know the general power of intention itself, so I can see this only helping out manifestations and what have you.
And ill go out on a limb and say the benefits are similar (for me) to the ones I mentioned in
Why breathing is one of thee most OP techniques also bonus+ intent is paired
extreamlyyyyy will with the intent to breath. It can probably serve as a stepping stone in finding your own way of intent-ing
I would love to hear where this practice leads you one day and for you to describe it once you have been doing it for a while.
Ill update and let you know where this takes me. I got a feeling its taking me exactly where I want to go. And no, not that "you are exactly where you need to be at" type of thing. I mean literally-everything-I-ever-wanted-whatever-that-is type takes me. Just a hunch

Edit: I would like to add, finding something that you can KEEP intending OR doing seems important to say. So there's that
: totally exhausting your willpower, if that happens, is also good for its own reasons.
