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.
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
8/6/2019 Allowing Success to Manifest by JasmineBharathan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/allowing-success-to-manifest-by-jasminebharathan 11/39
http://heal-empower.com 9
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….

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

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/allowing-success-to-manifest-by-jasminebharathan 14/39
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?
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.
8/6/2019 Allowing Success to Manifest by JasmineBharathan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/allowing-success-to-manifest-by-jasminebharathan 16/39
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
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.
8/6/2019 Allowing Success to Manifest by JasmineBharathan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/allowing-success-to-manifest-by-jasminebharathan 18/39
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?!
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
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..
8/6/2019 Allowing Success to Manifest by JasmineBharathan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/allowing-success-to-manifest-by-jasminebharathan 21/39
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..!

page 25
http://heal-empower.com 25
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
8/6/2019 Allowing Success to Manifest by JasmineBharathan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/allowing-success-to-manifest-by-jasminebharathan 28/39
Allowing Success to Manifest page 26
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?

page 27
http://heal-empower.com 27
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.

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..
