Intentionally?

Merriam-Webster defines Intent and Intention as:

the state of mind or the way in which an act is done.

They are also defined as:

to have the will concentrated on some purpose.

& Intentionally is the adverbial form of the word intent.

~ in my opinion, kind of a dry definition and frankly missing the point.

It begs me to ask, What is deeper than will?  What is deeper than state of mind?   

“Intention is the core of all conscious life. It is our intentions that create karma, our intentions that help others, our intentions that lead us away from the delusions of individuality toward the immutable verities of enlightened awareness. Conscious intention colors and moves everything.”

I believe that Intentionally has a deeper meaning as well.

My definition of Intentionally is:

To be directed by the higher state of mind of our lifeforce / our soul / our spirit / our light-within (whichever word describes to you the inner knowing in each of us)

as apposed to being directed by our lower states of mind of fear, confusion, ego, and self justifying images. 

thus

• Guided by our lifeforce
• Sanctioned by the soul
• Driven by the spirit

It is this definition of Intentionally that I uses when I created:

• CoachingIntentionally™ – Coaching from within – Coaching from a place where the lifeforces interact and reveal themselves to the client.
• LivingIntentionally™– Living from soul – living in a way that honors the intimate and ultimate connections.
• WorkingIntentionally™– Working from soul - Aligning the work that needs to be done in a way that honors your soul
• LeadingIntentionally™ – Leading from soul – leading in a way that respects the lifeforce of yourself as well as those that you lead.
