Magical Intention: I INTEND THAT I AM FULLY AWARE OF TIME AND THAT I VALUE EACH MOMENT THAT CREATES THE WHOLE OF TIME NOW!
Magical Story: Where did the time go?

I want to apologize to those who are following my blog. I have been so busy with life and my businesses that I haven't had the time to write something new.

So I'm asking myself - where did the time go?

Sometimes I feel that I'm so busy with "things" that I don't even have the time to visit friends. All my children and GrandAngels are in Texas which makes it even harder.

Now the Holiday season is upon us and that longing to be with family becomes even stronger. From time to time I am with my husband's family, but NOT with mine.

Where did the time go?

In Quantum Physics - the past, present and future are all the same. So--- did time really go away? I can't go back are revist what I perceive to have "lost." All I can do is live in the moment?

Where did the time go?

Time didn't go anywhere - it just doesn't stop whenever I wish it to stop.

I've realized how precious it is and that I need to be present every moment of the day. Time gives me an opportunity to be grateful for all that I have, to see the world with a different perspective, to live, love and be mindful of each person I meant, each animal I see, etc.

Yes, I know this is the time of year to reevaluate what went right and/or wrong. But why waste the time to do that when all of those moments are gone anyway? Why not simply think of each day as a new day!

EACH MOMENT SHOULD BE THE BEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE
Be they good or bad... they are what they are.

Here is a saying from a fortune cookie
We create our fate everyday we live.

Sooooooooooooooo

How are you spending your time? Are you worried about the time lost? or Are you being present in the moment?

Imagine that YOUR time is _______________________________________ (fill in the blank).

Let me know how this exercise worked for you.

Have a great moment, hour, day, month, year!

5 REMARKABLE PEOPLE & THE GIFT

Rather than writing an intention, I want to share with you what happened before I flew off to Austin, Texas.

_______________

I guess, on that particular morning, I woke up with an intention to spontaneously stop whenever I felt like it.

_______________

I was off to New Paltz, NY to do something. On my way, I saw 5 remarkable people. Yes! 5 REMARKABLE PEOPLE walking along the road. Three were clearly Buddhist monks as they wearing their particular attire that identified them. Two were simply in jeans. The woman was the "leader" caring a large sign that said PEACE.



Something told me to STOP and turn the car around. I felt a strong urge to talk to them, give them some money and encouragement. So I did just that.



I turned the car around, jumped out and ran to them waving my arms to let them know I'm a friend. They were so nice and kind to me. I gave one monk my donation (which, by the way, they were not asking for anything) and we all started talking. The reason for the walk was to make a gentle statement about PEACE. They were walking from Saratoga, NY to NYC, which is quite a long walk.



The woman said that they were so pleased that I was friendly as so many drivers honked, make derogatory remarks, and generally were not nice. I couldn't believe that anyone would do that to such kind people.



Finally, I knew I needed to go on and that they were anxious to get started again. But before I left, they gave me a gift. It was two paper cranes tied on a string - one under the other - and a piece of paper with a chant written in both English and Asian.



I looked at the chant written in English and then I looked that them in amazement. I told them that that particular chant is the one I have been chanting for weeks and as I was walking out my door, I was chanting those very words! Was I surprised! I looked at them and told them that we were meant to meet.



I got back in my car and felt an overwhelming sense of Spirit, of Love, and the Gift of the Chant. The feeling of gratefulness was overwhelming - The Gift of the Chant and meeting these kind people will be with me forever.



Here is the chant: Na Mu Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo



I don't know what it means - but who cares? It brought us together and I received a very, very special gift!



Namasté, Karin

Welcome to my blog!

It is my intention to inspire you to ACHIEVE your hearts desire while experiencing meaning and purpose in your life! I will be writing a series of articles that relate to intention. Many of them will have easy exercises/visualizations that may be helpful in your journey through self-discovery. Don't forget to check out my book which is filled with information, exercises, intentions from A-Z and so much more. In it, I reveal a lot of what has happened in my unique life and what has brought me to the place I am now. You can purchase my book through Amazon and all major bookstores.

And now let’s focus on Intention…

---

Magical Intention:
I intend that I am open to Magical Intentions that empower me to achieve a purposeful and successful life NOW

Lately I've been thinking about how I need to go back to basics. I feel that I've diverted from my real intention and that is to inspire others to understand and create intentions that have true meaning and purpose. We all want to be rich, successful, beautiful, slim, successful achievers, etc. etc. etc. These things can be accomplished but one must understand where each intention is coming from. Is it from the heart? Or is it from fear?

Fear that there will not be enough, or that "I'm not slim enough, young enough, old enough, pretty enough, intelligent enough, etc., etc. etc."

Have you ever noticed how successful people say "you can be successful - look at me?" And you're thinking, "easy for him/her to

say that... they aren't walking in my shoes." I don't know how many times I've thought the very same thing.

But lately, I've been reassessing my life (one more time) and realize that those very people have something different about them that I don't have.

What I believe it is - is Magic - AND IT IS NOT A SECRET!

Knowing your magical intentions can change your life. But remember, as with so many things, change happens and those intentions, as you move forward, may change and morph into something greater.

So think Magic when you are writing or thinking your intentions.

For example - when you get up in the morning there is a pattern that you use to wake yourself up, to move, to do what you do in the morning. We all have our patterns and don't even notice them half the time. So, in noticing, you can find the magic. The magic is called "being grateful." Being grateful that you can even get up, or see, or brush your teeth. Do you see where I'm coming from?

I was also thinking today - how amazing that our cells know how to join together to make a human being, how the trees know to grow and develop leaves in the spring and lose them in the winter, how the clouds move and create beautiful artwork. There is natural MAGIC everywhere!

So, this is what I've been doing lately, especially as I walk my adorable wire-haired terrier, Meadow. I look around me and think

"MAGIC HAPPENS! YES!" The "YES"

is telling my subconscious mind that it means exactly what I am saying.

Creating intentions is about having a purposeful life and reprogramming your subconscious mind to grasp that you mean it by saying "that I Am."

So don't think of writing an intention as something you HAVE to do, but as part of your MAGICAL LIFE here on Mother Earth. She is sharing her space with you through your magical life.

THINK:

MAGIC HAPPENS!

Think PURPOSE • Think LIFE!

I intend that I am open to Magical Intentions that empower me to achieve a purposeful and successful life NOW!

YES!

Magical Intention: Dream: I intend that I am aware of the meanings behind my dreams NOW!

My Dream:

Recently, I was going through a tough period. I felt like I was crashing and burning. I had a super Pity Party for days and days! So I began to go within and question everything I was doing. The why's, the how's, the "what's this all about?" etc. etc. etc.

I asked my Inner Guide to help me as I did not want to stay in this emotional roller coaster.

I believe in the power of dreams - the symbols - and that there are messages to be gleaned from them.

Here is my dream.... (there were many parts but I will share the most significant part)

I was in an older model car like the one my husband loves to drive (1997 buick - monster of a car!). Anyway, I felt that I was in the front seat, but not sure if I was in the drivers seat or in the passenger seat. Nevertheless, I decided to crawl to the back seat. Which I did.

Right after I did that I felt the car moving. I looked out the rear window and saw a large body of water - like a lake. I became frightened and thought "oh my gosh, I've got to get to the front seat and to the brakes." I struggled and struggled but couldn't get to the front. The car was rolling closer and closer. I decided that this was IT I checked to see if I would be able to roll the window down and then decided to just relax. This would be the end of my life and I couldn't do anything about it. I decided tojust "went with the flow." I was no longer frightened.

At the very moment I made the decision to just relax and let go, the car stopped. I didn't drown. I just sat there.

End of dream.

_____

When I woke up I quickly wrote the dream in my dream journal - I knew that if I didn't, I'd forget particular details that were significant.

Here's my analysis. Even though I don't consider myself a controlling type of person, there must have been something in me that was trying to control my destiny. Crawling to the backseat tells me that I felt that was where I really belonged - "I'm always in the backseat."

I had to let go of something in my life that is totally out of my control and perhaps accept the backseat as a good seat to be in. How my times have I heard the phrase "backseat driver." The one no one pays attention to. But the backseat driver may actually have some good information - some wisdom because they can actually see the whole picture. The "backseat" may also reflect the past and letting go of the past. In relaxing and accepting what was and embracing the past as "lessons learned" I can then choose to go to the front seat. But I had to let go of some control issues.

The fear of drowning, for me, reflects the fear that I won't accomplish everything I want to in this lifetime. That's eroneous thinking! Each and everything I do for the good - to make a difference - is an accomplishment. To be grateful for the smalllest opportunity is where I need to put my awareness.

So I have a new lease on life - a new perspective... letting go of control and opening to the possibilities! The possibilities can be found by simply LIVING and opening up my heart!

Paying attention to my dreams, journaling, will help me achieve greater success than ever. There is a blueprint and the "designs" are being revealed in the right time and in the right way NOW!

What are your dreams like? Do you journal? Do you see how the "dots" are connecting? Do you just not believe in dreams?

Now - my intention is to be open to the inner guidance I am receiving in my sleep - for there is wisdom to be had.

My greatest dream so far was to write a book - and I did just that! "Magic of Intention" is filled with my story, exercises, meditations, information about how to achieve your hearts desire, and more... So many have said that the book was written just for them. One even says that she looks the back where I have a list of intentions from A to Z and chooses a new one every day! You can find my book at all the major bookstores. Enjoy and keep in touch....

Remember your intention, write or say it, believe, look for coincidences and notice the MAGIC happening NOW!

Have a great day and look for the Magic! KARIN

Magical Intention: I intend that I am having a Magical Day NOW!

Magical Story:

The other day I had to go into NYC to tape my TV show and to be on Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein's Show. I knew it would be a long day.

I hurried around the house, getting ready, walking my dog, and making sure I had all the material I needed for my show. I looked at the clock and thought, "I have enough time to catch the 9:50 am train to Grand Central." I jumped in my car and rushed to the station. I drove around looking for a parking spot and finally found one. Jumped out of the car, grabbed everything and started running to the stairs that would take me to the platform where we wait to get into the train. As I was running, I saw the train and knew then that I would not be able to catch it. I had a fleeting moment about missing the train but I knew that another one would come an hour away. So I stopped dashing and simply took my time to get to the platform. I sat down and looked out at the ever so beautiful Hudson River and thought to myself - what absolute beauty is in front of me. The ducks were floating around catching their meals, and the water was flowing gently. I could see the beautiful mountains in front of me and thought, "All is well."

The train came and I jumped on. I sat on the side of the river. The train began its journey into the city and I began to relax, hooked up to my Nano and listening to the meditations. I knew I was cutting it pretty close because I wanted to be there on time and at the same time, I couldn't do any more than I was doing. So I just relaxed.

Time moved forward and as we were getting closer to Grand Central, I overheard some of the passengers talking. To my amazement they were talking about things that I had an interest in. For example, one woman was film producer and she was talking about the Celestine Prophecy. She also mentioned the Six Degrees of Separation because each person had some sort of information that was helpful to her. The gentleman in front of me spoke about how there were no accidents. The other gentleman was a comedian and agreed with what was going on. I naturally joined in on the conversation.

The train arrived and we all felt that we knew each - sudden friendships! The Magic began the second I stepped into the train.

Stay with me - there is more to this story.

I felt an energy shift --- this means to me that something good was going to happen.

Anyway, I rushed out of Grand Central station to catch a cab. Usually the lines are unbelievably long. I looked around and couldn't figure out where the line started. So I went up to the policeman, the one that is always there with a smile, and asked him where the line was. He said to me very clearly - "There is no line - YOU ARE THE FIRST IN LINE." I looked at him and smiled broadly — I said to him, "I like the way that sounds - I am the first in line!" Immediately a very nice cab showed up--like Magic.

Now, in NYC, for those who don't know, usually the cab drivers are from another country and there is generally a language barrier but most of them are very, very nice. My driver for this ride was from another country as well but there was something different about him. He was listening to an alternative medicine program. I was blown away! I asked him to turn it up --- and he did -- and we talked about the show!

I thought to myself - the Magic continues - I know now that I will achieve what my hearts desire is today.

He dropped me off to the recording studio, I tipped him and gleefully went into the studio. The two ladies I needed to see were already there. We talked and I told them that I felt MAGIC happening because my day had started off to be very, very magical.

My intent was to talk to the owner of the station. He wasn't there at first but within five minutes after I arrived, he showed up! I went to him, discussed what I wanted to discuss and it all turned out to be very, very positive. I will make an announcement in my newsletter found on my site: http://www.KarinJanin.com/news

The rest of the day flowed perfectly and with ease.

Now ask yourself this question:

When was the last time you had a Magical Day? Think about it.

Are you open to having a MAGICAL DAY?
Believe it or not, magic happens all the time and all around us.

Remember your intention, write or say it, believe, look for coincidences and notice the MAGIC happening NOW!

Have a good day and look for the Magic! KARIN

Magical Intention: I intend that I am listening to the beat of life all around me and within my soul NOW!

Statement:

Listen - do we take the time to listen... really listen to what's going on in and around our lives? Here's a modern day fable I recently read on my two friends sites: Chelle of Inspiration Line and reprinted by Roger King of Soul Talk Stories

Shhhhhh! Can You Hear It?

A Native American and his friend were in downtown New York City, walking near Times Square in Manhattan. It was during the noon lunch hour and the streets were filled with people. Cars were honking their horns, taxicabs were squealing around corners, sirens were wailing, and the sounds of the city were almost deafening. Suddenly, the Native American said, "I hear a cricket."

His friend said, "What? You must be crazy. You couldn't possibly hear a cricket in all of this noise!"

"No, I'm sure of it," the Native American said, "I heard a cricket."

"That's crazy," said the friend. The Native American listened carefully for a moment, and then walked across the street to a big cement planter where some shrubs were growing. He looked into the bushes, beneath the branches, and sure enough, he located a small cricket. His friend was utterly amazed.

"That's incredible," said his friend. "You must have superhuman ears!"

"No," said the Native American. "My ears are no different from yours. It all depends on what you're listening for."

"But that can't be!" said the friend. "I could never hear a cricket in this noise."

"Yes, it's true," came the reply. "It depends on what is really important to you. Here, let me show you." He reached into his pocket, pulled out a few coins, and discreetly dropped them on the sidewalk.

"But that can't be!" said the friend. "I could never hear a cricket in this noise."

"Yes, it's true," came the reply. "It depends on what is really important to you. Here, let me show you." He reached into his pocket, pulled out a few coins, and discreetly dropped them on the sidewalk.

And then, even with the noise of the crowded street still blaring in their ears, they noticed every head within twenty feet turn and look to see if the money that tinkled.

MAGICAL INTENTION EXERCISE:

(Have a pen or pencil and pad close by so you can write your thoughts immediately)

__________

Let's do something different... Rather than stay inside, I am asking you to go outside to do this exercise. When you are through, write down your experience.

Spring has come once again... step outside.

You may want to walk in your backyard or a park or the countryside. There are no rules except that you go outside.

Stand still for a moment - what do you hear?

Slowly Turn North - what do you hear?

Slowly Turn East - what do you hear?

Slowly Turn West - what do you hear?

Slowly Turn South - what do you hear?

Now imagine that you are turning inside- what do you hear?

Do you hear the cricket that no one else hears?

Do you hear your soul? Your passion? Your love of life?

What do you hear?

When you are ready, journal your thoughts and feelings. You may surprise yourself with all that you hear both inside and outside.
