Intention vs control
from Functional Spirituality · host Ava Irani
What’s the difference between intention and control? Any moment you’re not connected to your intention and alignment you’re going to lack motivation. Motivation comes naturally when’s there’s a sense of alignment. Control is like a fixation, an unconscious pressure towards something, an intention is an awareness of something we feel called to. Intention connects us to our heart, but also being connected to our heart reveals our intention. chapter markers 00:15 Introduction 00:35 What’s the difference between intention and control 01:10 Intention 03:28 Control 07:00 Awareness 09:00 Expressions of control 10:00 Functional modalities 11:35 Meditation example 14:41 Conclusion Increasing accessibility to functional healing + non-dual spiritual oneness. www.functionalspirituality.com Free resources: Newsletter sign up: A monthly update for me on new offers and the energy of the month.
