In this great clip, you can listen to Oprah and Gary Zukav discussing the power of intentions and the role they play in your daily life.

The Role of Intention

Zukav teaches that intentions have a prime place among all of the principles of modern spirituality, because from your intention everything else in your life will flow.

The key to understanding this point is to understand how intentions create karma. When you set positive, loving intentions, you create positive karma, which brings you positive life experiences. If, however, you have destructive, fearful, or otherwise negative intentions, this will also create karma, and you will experience whatever is necessary to help you to release that negativity.

This means that our intention, in every moment of every day, acts like a lever determining our future experiences. We have the ability to choose constantly from a state of conscious intention, though we often forget to pay attention to the intentions we are setting as we go about our daily lives.

There are some easy guidelines for setting daily intentions that you can follow, but by far the most important takeaway is to act consciously from a state of love rather than fear.
