received similar feedback from many others who have

„played‟ with this.

I must say that there is nothing new here. However, it

could serve as a simple reminder or offer a new perspective

on what we already know.

I share this here for your consideration and I hope that

some of you find this useful.

 Forming An Intention

Let us think of a scenario in a game of cricket..

The batsman has just hit a ball up in the air and there is

a lone fielder in that region.

The fielder looks up at the ball and forms the intention to

catch it..

“I want to catch the ball”. 

“I intend catching the ball”.. And at that point in time the

process of logical thinking stops.

Page 9: Allowing Success to Manifest by JasmineBharathan

8/6/2019 Allowing Success to Manifest by JasmineBharathan

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/allowing-success-to-manifest-by-jasminebharathan 9/39

http://heal-empower.com 7

Earlier, his Goal might have been to get this particular

 batsman out, and the outcome he had desired might have

 been to make a winning catch for his team.

 At that moment he is neither focused on the Goal nor on

the Outcome. He has an Intention to catch the ball. Theprocess of logical thinking is not involved at all.

The fielder‟s Mind cannot factor in the force with which

the ball was hit, the trajectory of the moving object, the

 velocity and direction of the wind that day or his own speed.

 All those factors get into the act automatically and hefinds himself at the right spot at the right time to receive the

falling ball.

Of course he has to be passionate about his game, needs

to be in shape and have practiced at his craft.

But he could not have used his logic and mind to work out a solution.

There are so many variables at work here:

The force with which the ball is struck, the angle at

 which it rises up, the force of the wind that day, the speed at

 which the fielder takes off, the distance he has to judge andso on…

If any of these variables change during the effort, the

fielder‟s body has to adjust and accommodate those changes.

Most of this occurs automatically in split seconds without

any conscious control on his part.

It is taken care of by an in-built corrective mechanism

 which aligns to his intention.

It may not, however, work perfectly on every occasion.

 Zooming Out 

Several experts who have studied Intentionality advise

us to be very specific and articulate what we want, visualize itin its finest details, have pictures and imagery of it around

us, experience it in our imagination as if it has already 

happened – thus sending signals to the brain and out into

the Universe for its manifestation – and then let go and

allow...

This seems to work beautifully for some and partially forothers - works for a while and then they feel stuck and

frustrated.

If you are one of them, it is like – “Damn, I am doing

everything they are saying.. What is wrong? What am I

missing? Why isn‟t this thing working for me?” 

 A Buddhist Monk gives an example to illustrate a point:

"I have been practicing mindfulness breathing for 20 years

and no, I don‟t get any peace.. but Sandy there is so

Page 11: Allowing Success to Manifest by JasmineBharathan

peaceful.. How does she do it..?

Maybe I should do more of it – 10,000 mindful breaths

every day – I can get a PhD in in-breaths and out-breaths..!

Pretty soon I‟ll hyperventilate and pass out..!!"

Obviously, it is not about the focus on the number or the

quality of breaths you take - however diligent and sincere the

effort.

It is about bringing one‟s attention to something that is

happening in the present moment – the breath – and the

 benefit of practicing disengaging from the rattle going on in

the head - thereby bringing one‟s attention to the Here and

Now.

One is then more available to Life.

 Another one:

I am in this hole and I am pretty sure there is a way out.

I haven‟t got my eyes open, so I walk forward and bash

765…… 5,698…. 

9,871….

Allowing Success to Manifest page 10 

into a wall and say: “Oh.. that didn‟t work..” And try that

again.. I bash into the wall and, “Hmm.. it didn‟t work.. I‟ll

try it again”..  bash into the wall.. “Oh-oh.. Didn‟t work..” try 

it again..

 We keep going, keep going and keep going..

“Sooner or later I am bound to find a way through….!”  

But all I need to do is feel my way through the wall, find

the light switch, turn the light on and walk through the 

door!

It can save me a lot of nose bleeds and cracks on the

head - a lot of needless discomfort.

 We may pick up a particular approach/concept/method

that are based in the finer components of a healthy, joyous

and successful living experience.

 And then blindly go do it without paying mindful

attention to what is going on.

 At times, we may just need to zoom out a bit.

Scott cannot make an edible dish by just throwing in all

the ingredients from the recipe book straight into the pan.

Sure, something will come out as an end product..

 but…..!  

The ingredients in the right measure, the sequence in

 which they are added, some mixed together and marinated

for a while.. full fire.. slow fire.. let it simmer for a bit.. It is afascinating process and requires one to pay alert attention.

This Moment 

 This Moment 

 When we choose to direct our Mind towards a particularobject of our attention we are forming an Intention.

 We can state an Intention in a simple short

sentence/thought. But we usually don‟t or are unable to do

so.

More often, we have a fuzzy idea of what we want, areunable to state it directly and it is mixed up with a lot of 

other wants and feelings.

 We are also not clear about the reason behind this

Intention.

 We may say, “I want to be a great author”, but notacknowledge that we are really seeking fame and fortune.

 We may say, “I want to help a lot of people”, but not

acknowledge that we are really wanting to escape the painful

feelings of dealing with existing relationships and situations.

Or, we may say, “I want to be a movie star”, and notrealize that we may have a dire need to be acknowledged or

admired – perhaps we haven‟t been acknowledged enough in

our growing up years.. there may still be unhealed wounds

Page 14: Allowing Success to Manifest by JasmineBharathan

Allowing Success to Manifest page 12 

from nasty past experiences, subconscious limiting beliefs,

„unprocessed emotions.. or not having the inclination for

self-compassion, acknowledging and experiencing some of 

our own talents.

There may be several reasons.

 Living Totally in the Now

So the first step I would take, even before formulating an

intention - is to do a little introspection and clear up the

fuzziness.

 What do I really want to experience? What activity 

makes me really happy?

John wants to be a published author through the bestpublishing house; be known as the most influential writer

ever; interviewed by the world media… all this by September

2012.

Now, let‟s see whether John has done any introspection.

Has he asked himself if his main passion is self-expression using the writing medium? Or is he seeking fame

and fortune?

Has he asked himself:

 What is it that I really, really want most of all?

 Would I do this even if it did not bring me any monetary 

reward (it is perfectly fine to be richly, financially rewarded

for it..!)?

Can I see myself doing this for a long time?

Page 15: Allowing Success to Manifest by JasmineBharathan

8/6/2019 Allowing Success to Manifest by JasmineBharathan

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/allowing-success-to-manifest-by-jasminebharathan 15/39

http://heal-empower.com 13

 Would I be willing to undergo hardships, make space in

my daily schedule and even give up certain other things inorder to do this?

 Would I encourage and support others to do this?

Do I see some real value in this endeavor for others as

 well as for myself?

 And then, another important question:

Having reached that state/outcome which I desire, what

 will I be doing from that point on? Can I name that activity?

 Would I still enjoy doing the same (even if I chose not to)?

Perhaps John then comes up with the statement/

thought:

“I enjoy writing”.

Or: “I like to share some ideas and tell stories”.

Or he tries a few other statements until he feels very 

comfortable that he has caught the essence.

He feels an “Aaaha.. that is it”.. A sense of peacefulness

and joy with just that realization sets in.

Now, in that state, he takes a deep breath and speaks it

out loud and clear. After that he lets go of that thought; he

has sent it out into the Universe/Existence/Nature.

Page 16: Allowing Success to Manifest by JasmineBharathan

Allowing Success to Manifest page 14 

He realizes that the main

activity, Writing, is available to him right now. He can act in

the present, fully focused in the moment. He can start

 writing – anything – not necessarily the book he has in

mind.

He enjoys writing; it makes him feel really good when he

does it. He engages in that activity right here, right now. He

now gets away from the idea and the mode of Becoming (in

the future).

John does need to do one more thing. He needs to trust

that Universal Creative Energy that has an inbuilt

mechanism to find and pull together the unlimited resources

that make things happen. Our mind, however wonderful its

capabilities, cannot match this Force.

Let us consider another example:

Mike has a natural talent to teach art in unique and

creative ways.

Everyone encouraged him to set up a Learning Center.

He spent days articulating precisely the look and

structure of the place, what he does there, how he feels with

the bustling of students in his Center.. the smallest of details

in place. He then visualized it all as if it had already 

Page 17: Allowing Success to Manifest by JasmineBharathan

8/6/2019 Allowing Success to Manifest by JasmineBharathan

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/allowing-success-to-manifest-by-jasminebharathan 17/39

http://heal-empower.com 15

happened and then let it go.

 Very soon, things began to happen. People walked into

his life who helped him find possible locations for his Center;

he launched his website and started promoting it wherever

he went.

But there was no Center, yet! Months went by.

He became anxious and stressed.

His relationships at home suffered.

His only focus was to find the funds to build his Center.

It angered him when someone seemed non co-operative.

He felt resentful when his friends did not loan him

money.

He experienced jealousy towards others who had theirown learning centers.

 And he soon began maligning the work of others to pull

them down.

Some of the energy/effort shifted from the present into

the future instead of remaining focused and active in theNow.

He started indulging in activities that were unhealthy 

and non-productive.

Of course it was healthy for him to make plans and work 

towards it.

But the lucidity and flexibility to adapt to the natural

unfolding of things were lost with a very tight structure.

Page 18: Allowing Success to Manifest by JasmineBharathan

Allowing Success to Manifest page 16 

The process became un-wholesome. A Healthy,

 wholesome approach would have set him on a smoother ride.

 Wholesome?

Unhealthy Goal ..

Here are two very subtle things to be mindful of that in

the long run cause trouble as they are very cleverly disguised!

To Become something:

I want to become a good person.

I want to be the best writer the world has ever seen.

I want to be a kind and compassionate person.

I want to be a good husband.

I want to earn more money.

I want to be enlightened.

I want my heart to be more open to feelings of affection,

love and care.

Sounds like all are good things!

To Get Rid of something:

I want to get rid of my anger, jealousy, laziness,

procrastination.

I want to get rid of my difficulty around people.

Sounds like these are good things to get rid of, don‟t

they?!

Page 19: Allowing Success to Manifest by JasmineBharathan

8/6/2019 Allowing Success to Manifest by JasmineBharathan

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/allowing-success-to-manifest-by-jasminebharathan 19/39

http://heal-empower.com 17

 What makes these unhealthy and problematic in the long

run is a non-acceptance of the present moment – “I am not

alright and I have to get rid of something - only then will I be

acceptable.” 

 Also the focus is on.. it is me trying to become acompassionate person; it is me trying not to be angry; me 

trying to be rid of the fear problem; me trying to get

enlightened; it is me wanting to be this and that – there is a

self-centered motivation that color the efforts – however

sincere and diligent.

These are always tied up with the feelings of I, me and

mine.

„I am feeling agitated, I need to get out...” 

 What we perceive as a Healthy Goal could perhaps be an

unconscious attempt to escape from a painful

situation/uncomfortable, „unprocessed‟ feelings.

The energy behind the Intention becomes clouded.

It is not very easy then to realize what is happening

around us and to others in our surrounding during this self 

centered pursuit - thus causing us and others more

disharmony and pain in the long run.

If, however, one brings in Acknowledgment and

 Awareness of what is really going on, the very same Goals

can be Healthy!

Just the Awareness of it instantly brings about a new 

texture to the way one would look at things.

 With more acceptance of oneself in the present moment,

one can set up Goals that generate a Healthy Intention – an

Page 20: Allowing Success to Manifest by JasmineBharathan

8/6/2019 Allowing Success to Manifest by JasmineBharathan

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/allowing-success-to-manifest-by-jasminebharathan 20/39

Allowing Success to Manifest page 18 

thus, a Healthier Process.

The result then does not generate as much pain or

suffering. It leads to more joy, ease, flow and peacefulness – 

 W hich is what we all want, isn‟t it?

 What is the point if we have that beautiful home, but

living there does not fill the void of loneliness? What is the

point if we achieve what we intend but are unable to enjoy 

the experience?

 When we are thirsty and wish to drink a glass of water,

 we choose to point and direct our minds to a Goal and Intendits fruitful achievement.

 We realize that we are thirsty. We may perhaps get up,

 walk towards another room, get a glass, pour water into it

and drink from it.

 We not only direct our mind towards the achievement of it but also put in the required effort.. rather easily.

If we use glassware and would like to use silverware,

 work towards it and someday go get it, that is fine. It seems

healthy.

However, if we cannot enjoy the glassware while it isthere and feel dissatisfied until we get the silverware to drink 

the water from………. well, we are in trouble!

„I wish to be a published author”.

“I want to travel and teach around the globe”.

“I want to enjoy a loving, harmonious relationship” – not

 because I don‟t like the pain or incompleteness I experience

now. I want it because I want to direct and focus my energy 

to this new experience..

http://heal-empower.com 19

This is Wholesome. This is Healthy. The Process is more

Harmonious.

The Process and unfolding of these Goals can be a

healthy experience if we bring in acknowledgment of the real

reasons.. and it can come together along the way.

Choosing, directing and pointing the mind in this way 

and the effort that follow it – come from a wholesome,

 balanced place.

The Intention is Healthy.

 Intend To Act, Act As Intended

Do take a look at this Re-frame.

Instead of focusing on the Goal – Process- Outcome

model, let us do a re-frame.

Goal – Intention – Action in the Present - Outcome

The Intentions stated can be put into action

immediately.

The more I do it (practice it), the better I feel, get good at

it and am inspired to do even more of it.

There is no painful effort - rather a Healthy directing of 

the mind.

Universal Creative Energy that has an inbuilt mechanism

is then left free to find and pull together the unlimited

resources that make things happen – moment by moment.

I call it Amazing Grace..

Maya, a young lady presently employed as a school

teacher deeply desires “to become a famous movie star”.

 After a period of reflection she realizes that she is trying

to fill a void in her, an unfulfilled need to express her deepestemotions, to be acknowledged, respected and admired.

She then attempts to re-frame her Goal and says:

“I enjoy expressing my emotions through various roles..” 

“I love acting and playing different roles..”

“I also enjoy watching others do the same..”

She sees the opportunity of having enthusiastic talent

right in front of her.

She gets together a group of students and teachers, and

puts on wonderful plays and concerts.

She also joins a community that does the same.

She is able to find her own avenue of self expression. She

helps others find the same and participates in their

expressions.

She is on the way, instead of wishing, hoping and waiting

to be “discovered”

So… 

 So… 

In my observation and experience, there is a seriousdownside with the approach of desiring a very specific

Outcome.

I realize that am going on and on about this – like a

stuck record player.. !  

  Action – For Present, or Future

I am going to ‘Rain ‘

city next week..

Allowing Success to Manifest page 24 

 Articulating the end result - what we want, visualizing in

its finest details and experiencing it in our imagination as if 

it has already happened – exactly the way we want it to be -has its pitfalls:

 We could become very attached to the outcome – like a

chewed bubble gum sticking to our fiingers!

 We could be focused on the future and be caught in a

spinning web of expectations.

Not being able to stay detached from the final stated

outcome we experience being anxious, fearful, restless and

remain stressed in the present moment.

 We put life on hold, waiting for that big thing to happen.

Everything else that is going on in our lives get the roundpause button with two bars marked on it, leaving us and

others frustrated and suspended in air.

Huh? But you are

in ‘Pleasant

Weather ’ city right

now..!

 We see signs of possibilities and in the ecstasy that

follows, build castles in our heads using half a dozen red

 bricks!

 Without fully engaging in the present moment for what it

is, we shoot off taking action on what we think is going to 

happen.

 We end up feeling confused and disappointed when it

does not lead to that big thing we have been waiting for. We

get caught-up in doubt, uncertainty, questioning, misgivings, jealous reactions to others‟ success..… 

I have found EFT® - Emotional Freedom Technique,

TAT® -Tapas Acupressure Technique, Meditation,

Mindfulness and Awareness practice as very useful and

efficient practices to help address these.

 Anubhav (Experience) and Raahi (Traveler) were

having a chat:

Raahi: I cannot believe that it is finally happening. I

received an email from Jack. He works for Jill. Jill owns a

large publishing house. This is my big opportunity for the

 book I mentioned to you last year.

I am working on an email giving them a glimpse of my 

 work. As soon as they have gone through it, I will take an

appointment to discuss the way forward. That done, I will

start writing my big book.

That shouldn‟t take very long. You see, I have the entire book in my head. I have just to download it.

I will have to figure the writing style. It will come. I will

 just go withthe flow. I was also thinking of starting a

 blog so there is awareness of my work even before its

release.

 Also a page on facebook. I think I will ask my wife to do

that. She is really good with these things, you know..

 Anubhav:  What was Jack‟s email about? 

Raahi: Oh, that was about an interview for an article he

is writing. He wants my view on some questions.

 Anubhav: Have you responded to that?

Raahi: No, I don‟t really have much to say on that

topic – it isn‟t my cup of tea.

I am more keen to strategize with the opportunity that I

see here for my book.

 Anubhav: Have you mentioned that to him?

Raahi: About his article and interview with me?

 Anubhav: Yes.

Raahi: No, I haven‟t. Maybe I‟ll do it. I don‟t know. I‟ll

go with the flow. But am working on the email introduction

to my book idea.

I feel there is a lot of synchronicity here. Last week, a

friend mentioned that I should write to this publishing

house; beginning of this week I got an email from Jack..

right in my mailbox.. Tadaa..!

 Anubhav: Sure; but that is about the interview.

Raahi: I know, I know.. But can you see where this is

going?

 Anubhav: No, I don‟t see it….. yet! 

Raahi: Huh?

Sometimes we think we are remaining focused and active

in the present moment. We don‟t realize that some of the

energy, effort and attention shifts from the Here and Now.

This is one very subtle but important distinction about

 being present in the moment and playing/ engaging with thepresent.

Maya could have gone looking for contacts that could

lead her to Directors or Auditioners for her big movie break,

thinking that she is engaging in the present moment.

Look closer.

 Wouldn‟t that be taking action for the future? 

John could go looking for potential publishers for his

 book that he someday hopes to write, believing that he is

taking action in the now. But that again, is engaging in the

present moment for something focused on the future!

Both Maya and John will be taking action in the present

 when they just start doing what they say they wish to do.

This would be engaging and experiencing the activity 

that brings them joy - right here in the present moment.

The rest is automatic. Something, somewhere begins to

 bring it all together.

Remember the fielder in the game of Cricket?

He practiced something he enjoyed doing. Practiced.

He trained, ran as a daily routine. Practiced.

He watched and studied cricket matches. Talked to

peers. Found a mentor. Learned. Focused on improving his

own weak areas so that he could play his best.

 A bowler comes in, throws a ball at the batsman. There is

some predictability about the direction in which the ballcould move or be hit.

However, at that moment, no amount of practice can

guarantee what that moment is to unfold.

The bowler and the fielder both have an Intention to get

the batsman out.

The batsman has an Intention not to get out!

 All have practiced at their craft.

 And yet, no one can plan or predict the "Outcome".

The intense focus of the moment brings about a certain

letting go that allows the Universal Forces to bring together

an Outcome that cannot be planned.

 Along the way, the Goals can even change and it doesn‟t

really matter.. as Life unfolds in magical ways.

Since we have engaged with Life in the present with our

 whole-hearted Intention, we flow along with Life and its

magnanimity far more easily.

 Ya, Right!

Raahi: Listen, I don‟t really understand this. I feel

upset, anxious, angry, confused, frustrated, jealous.. Are you

saying that I am not supposed to feel all this? Come on, I am

human.

 Anubhav: Of course, we are human. Why would we

strive to be anything else in this fabulous human-machine?

I can‟t imagine being a frog, an elephant, an ant or an

apple tree having this chat with you on instant messenger! It

is natural to feel an entire gamut of emotions. Isn‟t that part

of being human? If you are upset, how can you be calm?Sure, you can pretend..!

Raahi: I don‟t get it. You say, be and act in the present

moment. I am feeling frustrated about a whole lot of things

in this damned present moment.. my wife is angry with me

for not spending enough time with her, my boss is a *&^%@,

I have loans to repay, my book - my ticket to financialfreedom and happiness isn‟t happening.. it is tough. It is

 very easy for you to sit there and preach. What action should

I take in your “present moment”?

Ya, right..!

Grrrr….

 And now I am even beginning to feel angry..

 Anubhav: You do understand that it is human andnatural to feel emotions.

Raahi: Yes.

 Anubhav: You do see that there is nothing “wrong”

 with that?

Raahi: Of course, it is wrong. I shouldn‟t be getting

angry with you. You are a well-wisher. I should be able to

manage my life better. I don‟t even know if I deserve any 

 better……. This is getting too complicated.  

 Anubhav: Well..

Raahi: You know, just the other day I screamed

unreasonably at a colleague. It really wasn‟t his fault. And

last month.. I had to make a presentation to a new client. I

knew the stuff. But I just didn‟t have the confidence. Even

 without meeting him the man seemed like a ferocious Lion in

my head, waiting to pounce at me. I feel really stupid to even

say this. But the anxiety was so real. I decided to make anexcuse and have someone else do it. I feel so worthless.

 Anubhav: Situations do make it difficult for us to adapt

and engage in a healthy way. There are also many 

subconscious programs and „unprocessed‟ emotions running

that limit us.. and these show up in daily life. There are

several methods that work as an aide in dealing with feelings

that keep us stressed. One can practice applying them.

Personally, I am only grateful that Life gives us enough

opportunities to surface such limiting beliefs. We can work

through them. How will they surface unless we engage

actively with Life - „heart-on‟? 

Raahi: Let me get this. It is OK that I feel this way?

 Anubhav: Yes.

Raahi: And there are ways in which I can learn to

manage myself and life in a less stressful way?

 Anubhav: Yes..

Raahi: I can do this while going about my life? I don‟t

have to go on a sabbatical to get all sorted out?

 Anubhav: You are in order. You can begin to practice

 bringing in more awareness and self-compassion.. learn to

address sensations and feelings that cause you stress at the

time it happens.

 You will then be more available to Life and find it easier

to navigate through it.

Raahi: Hmmm..

 Anubhav: The more you bring yourself into the present,things begin to fall in place – in your Body and in your Life.

 When the body-mind system experiences more relaxation

and less stress, the system gets a chance to re-organize itself 

toward well-being. The body‟s intelligence gets to do its job

of Supporting Life.

Raahi: Hmmm..

 Anubhav: I am not able to engage in a consistent

meditative practice even though I am aware it is extremely 

useful. This is what I do as a basic practice: I bring my

attention to my breath – 4 or 5 times every 15 to 20 minutes

– no matter what I am doing.

Raahi: Oh! That seems do-able!!

 Anubhav:  Yes. You don‟t have to try to take deep long

 breaths or breathe in a different way. The activity of 

 breathing is on even though you are unaware of it!

 You are only bringing your attention to it. “I know I am

 breathing in”. “I know I am breathing out”. Saying it to

 yourself cuts off the chatter for a couple of minutes.

Raahi: Interesting! Seems simple.

 Anubhav:  Yes, isn‟t it? You may also want to explore

Practicing Healthy Thoughts.

Raahi: Like affirmations? Repeat positively phrasedstatements?

 Anubhav: Well, my preference is to engage actively 

 with a healthy thought or idea.

Raahi: Could you give me an example?

 Anubhav: Sure! Take these ideas: „Everyday, I

pleasantly uncover my abilities‟.. „I look with wonder my 

perfectly unfolding life‟.. „Now is the perfect time for my 

amazing good‟.. „All doors now fly open for wonderful

surprises‟.

Take one idea and engage with it through your day - whenever you remember.

Play with it. Be open to it around you – for you, for

others around you..

Raahi: What if I have a difficulty with it?

 Anubhav: That is a great opportunity for you to surface

and be aware of any resistance. You can work through it

using any useful method that you are comfortable with.

Raahi: Hmmm.. this sounds easy.

 Anubhav: Well, it is certainly simple. You will only 

know how it works out for you when you play with it.

 You may also want to consciously spend regular timearound those who have a healthy vibration; observe and play 

 with young kids - they are so completely in the present.

Life is a journey.

Life is a mystery..

Let us not press the pause button trying to figure it all

out… 

Let us spend more time experiencing and sharing our

unique journeys…. 

Raahi: Got it.. Hey, thank for this!

 Anubhav: Sure! Any time..
