It’s hard for me to call it a law. I never liked laws or rules.” Dr. Wayne Dyer, affectionately known as the “father of motivation” by his fans, sits back in his chair, props his bare feet up on the coffee table and shares his unique take on the Law of Attraction. His inviting smile, reassuring blue eyes and relaxed demeanor reflect the warm and loving energy he speaks of so frequently to others.
Dyer has another term for the concept behind the Law of Attraction. He calls it the Power of Intention. His philosophy is pure and simple, “The law of attraction is this: You don’t attract what you want. You attract what you are.”
“Most people’s mistake in trying to apply the law of attraction is they want things; they demand things. But God doesn’t work that way,” continues Dyer. “It’s all about allowing.”
Dyer refers to the Tao Te Ching, written by Lao Tzu. “He says in there, 2,500 years ago, if you live from these virtues, then all that you could ever need or want could be provided for you.” Dyer excitedly retrieves his personal copy of the book, leans forward and reads the words that touch him so deeply. He explains how virtue is a very important concept in the Law of Attraction.

2. About Dr.Wayne
Four of his books, including Manifest your destiny,
Wisdom of ages, There’s as Spiritual Solution to
every problem and New York times bestseller 10
secrets of success & inner peace, were featured as
National Public Television specials; and this, The
Power of Intention, has been showcased there as
well. Dyer holds a doctorate in educational
counseling from Wayne State University & was an
associate professor at St.John’s University in New
York.
Wayne W.Dyer, Ph.D., is an internationally
renowned author & speaker in the field of self-
development. He’s the author of 28 books, has
created many audio, Cds and videos; and has
appeared on thousands of television & radio
programs.
3. After years of spiritual study and reflection, inspirational speaker and bestselling author Wayne
Dyer has emerged a highly esteemed teacher. His current message about tapping into the power
of intention may sound like good old positive thinking: just stay focused on what you want, rather
than focusing on the lack of having what you want. But the teaching here goes deeper than just
controlling thoughts (although he does acknowledge that thought control is a surprisingly
challenging and significant endeavour). This book might help readers land a better job, but it's
more relevant for those who are ready to detach from an ego-driven life filled with quick fixes of
happiness and step into a more authentic, joyful, and spiritually fulfilling life. His core teachings
speak to tapping into a universal source of energy that can also be called the "power of intention."
He calls people who are consciously co-creating with this energy source "connectors" and
describes them as "individuals who have made themselves available for success... They don't say
"With my luck things won't work out." Instead, you’re more likely to hear something like, "I intend
to create this and I know it will work out."
Connectors are also committed to Dyer's "seven faces of intention“
Creativity, Kindness, Love, Beauty, Expansion, Abundance & Receptivity, which he speaks to
throughout the book. Each chapter concludes with five suggestions for becoming stronger
connectors, such as how to monitor one's inner speech or shift out of low-energy beliefs.
Some criticize Dyer for not giving credit to other teachers who offer this same message,
especially Jerry and Esther Hicks (A New Beginning I) and even Ralph Waldo Emerson. It's
impossible to know whether this was a deliberate omission, but it is obvious that Dyer has tapped
into a growing conversation about co-creating with "source.“ Happy reading
Prelude
5. Whenever feeling any type of “low energy”, visualize the
trolley strap hanging down from the field of intention 3 feet
above your head. Imagine floating up and allowing the
trolley strap to carry you to your built-in intention.
Say “intention” or “intent” when you are in a state of anxiety.
Say to yourself “I’m here on purpose; I can accomplish
anything I desire”.
Act as if anything you desire is already here.
New Perspective
6. Visualize the power of intention
Be like a mirror, don’t grab onto things or people, and don’t judge either- Be
reflective
Expect beauty.
Meditate on appreciation of the life force in you.
Banish doubt. Don’t doubt your ability to create the life you intended.
7. Connecting to Intention
To realize your desires, match them with your
inner speech. Your inner speech mirrors your
imagination. Your imagination is linked to
spirit.
Think from the end. Feel everything as you
already have it.
Practice unbending intent.
Memorize the seven faces of intention.
Always keep the thought of Gods abundance
in mind.
8. Obstacles Connecting to Intention
Monitor your inner dialog. Stop the what is missing crap. Instead change your
inner dialog and thinking to I intend to attract….
Reject thoughts that don’t allow you to match up to intention. Lighten moments of
doubt and depression..
Be aware of low energy, and resolve to bring high energy. –(Thoughts)
Talk to your ego; tell it has no control over you today.
View obstacles as a way to stay connected to intention.
9. Be aware of low energy, and resolve to bring high energy. –(Thoughts)
Talk to your ego; tell it has no control over you today.
View obstacles as a way to stay connected to intention.
Your Impact on others when Connected to Intention
Become aware of the importance of making all of your
relationships divine. Want for other people what you want for
yourself, and let them know it.
When a question of morality arises concerning how you
should act towards others, simply ask yourself, what would
the Messiah do?
Keep track of the judgments you direct toward yourself and
others. Only send out thoughts of compassion, helping you
manifest your own individual intention. IT’S THE LAW OF
ATTRACTION.
Whenever others want, want it for them so strongly that you
disperse this energy outward and act from this level of
spiritual consciousness.
By simply thinking and feeling in harmony with the power of
intention, you cancel out the negativity of a minimum of
90,000 people if not millions.
10. Intention & Infinity
Say, “I’m no longer identified by this body/mind, and I reject this label from
this moment on. I’m infinite. I’m one with all of humanity. I’m one with my
source, and this is how I choose to view myself from this day forward.
I will exist for all eternity. Just as love is eternal, so is this my true nature. I’ll
never be afraid (a WUSSY) again, because I am forever. This aligns you to
the active side of infinity.
You are an infinite spiritual being having a temporary human experience =
LOVE You are not a human having occasional spiritual experiences = FEAR
Whenever feeling lower depressing/anxious/fearfull energies, stop for a
moment and think if it makes sense from the perspective of the active side of
infinity.
Take a few moments to reflect on the people you were close to and loved
who have crossed over, be aware of their presence.
12. It is my Intention to: Respect Myself at all times
Look into the mirror and say “I love me” to maintain self-respect.
Repeat over and over again, “I am whole and perfect as I was created.”
Extend more respect for others and to all life.
Affirm to yourself and all others that you meet that “you belong!”
Remind yourself that you are never alone.
Respect your body.
Meditate to stay in conscious contact with your source, which always respects you.
Always remember the self in self respect. You can’t recognize others opinions of you
as facts.
Be in a state of gratitude. It’s the same as being in a state of self respect
13. It is my Intention to: Live My life on Purpose
Study and replicate the lives of people who’ve known their purpose.
Act as if you’re living the life you were intended to live, even if you feel confused
about this purpose.
Meditate to stay on purpose.
Keep your thoughts and feelings in harmony with your actions.
Stay in a state of gratitude.
Affirm that in an intelligent system, no one shows up by accident, including you.
Seize every opportunity, no matter how small, to give your life away in service.
Align your purpose with the field of intention.
Ignore what anyone else tells you about your purpose.
Remember that the all creating field of intention will work on your behalf.
14. It is my Intention to: Be Authentic and Peaceful with All
My Relatives
Identify your intention verbally and in writing, and develop a deep yearning for it.
Pray for the miracle of the inner awakening which will never leave you no matter
where you are or who you are with. Don’t pray to God for a miracle right now in a
certain situation.
Intent for all your relatives, what you intend for yourself.
Be the peace you’re seeking from others. Say hi to your fear, anxiety, depression,
and other low energies, and they will slowly vanish.
Match up with the 7 faces of intention. Your intention to be in peaceful relationships
is now talking form- first in your mind, then in your heart, and ultimately it will
materialize.
Review all the obstacles that have been erected on your path to family peace.
Remind yourself that when you think about what you resent, you act upon what you
think about, while simultaneously attracting more of it.
Act as if you see the light in others, and treat them as if that’s all you see.
Detach from the outcome. Don’t try to change others. Letting go and letting God.
Affirm: I attract only peace into my life.
Hold no grudges, and practice forgiveness.
Be in a state of gratitude.
15. It is my Intention to:Feel Successful & Attract Abundance
into My Life
See the world as an abundant, providing, friendly place.
Affirm: “I attract success and abundance into my life because that is who I am.”
Stay in a sate of allowing. In an attitude of allowing, all resistance in the form of
thoughts of negativity or doubt are replaced with simply knowing that you and your
source are one and the same.
Use your present moments to activate thoughts that are in harmony with the seven
faces of intention. Say, “I want to feel good.” Remember, Good=God.
Initiate actions that support your feelings of abundance and success.
Remember that your prosperity and success will benefit others, and that no one
lacks abundance because you’ve opted for it.
Monitor your emotions as a guidance system for your connection to the universal
mind of intention.
Become as generous to the world with your abundance as the field of intention is to
you.
Devote the necessary time to meditate on the spirit within as the source of your
success and abundance.
Develop an attitude of gratitude for all that manifests into your life.
16. It is my Intention to: Live a Stress-Free, Tranquil Life
Remember that your natural state is joy. Say, “I come from peace and joy. I
must stay in harmony with that from which I came in order to fulfil my
dreams and desires.”
Your thoughts, not the world, cause your stress. The negative thoughts
keep you from manifesting your desires.
You can change your thoughts of stress in any given moment, and eliminate
the anxiety for the next few moments, or even hours or days.
Monitor your stressful thoughts by checking on your emotional state right in
the moment. “Do I feel good right now?” If no, then say, “I want to feel
good.” Then, “I intend to feel good.”
Make a conscious choice to select a thought that will activate good feelings.
Spend time observing babies and vow to emulate their joy.
Keep rule #6 in mind, “Don’t take yourself too seriously.”
Accept the guidance of your source of Intention.
Practice being in silence and meditation.
Stay in a state of gratitude and awe.
17. It is my Intention to: Attract Ideal People & Divine
Relationships
Move away from hoping, wishing, praying, and begging for the right
person or people to show up in your life.
Conceptualize your invisible connection to the people you’d like to attract
to your life.
Form a picture in your mind of meeting the person you’d like to have
assist you or be in partnership with you.
Act upon the inner picture.
Take the path of least resistance.
Practice being that kind of person you want to attract.
Detach from the outcome, and practice infinite patience. Create a
knowing within. Don’t let your ego evaluate the success of intention.
Practice meditation, particularly the Japa meditation, to attract ideal
people and divine relationships.
Look upon everyone who has ever played any role in your life as having
been sent to you for your benefit.
As always, remain in a state of eternal gratitude.
18. It is my Intention to: Optimize My Capacity to Heal & be
Healed
You can’t heal anyone until you allow yourself to be healed.
The healing energy that your are connected to at all times is what you
have to give away to others.
By raising your energy to a vibrational match with the field of intention,
you’re strengthening your immune system and increasing the production
of well-being enzymes in the brain.
Practice surrender! Let go and let God.
Don’t ask to be healed; ask to be restored to that perfection from which
you emanated.
Know that you are adored.
Seek out and cherish the silence.
To be healthy, you must totally identify with the wholeness that you are.
Allow health to stream into your life.
Stay immersed in a state of gratitude.
19. It is my Intention to: Appreciate & Express the Genius
That I Am
Declare yourself to be a genius! This should be between you and your
creator.
Make a decision to listen more carefully to your inner insight, no matter
how small or insignificant you may have previously judged them to be.
Take constructive action towards implementing your inner intuitive
inclinations.
Know that any and all thoughts that you have regarding your own skills,
interests, and inclinations are valid.
Remind yourself that aligning with spiritual energy is how you will find and
convey the genius within you. Be an appreciator of life, and refuse to
have thoughts of hatred, anxiety, anger, and judgment. Trust yourself as a
piece of God and genius will flourish.
Practice radical humility. Give credit everywhere but to your ego.
Remove resistance to actualize your genius.
Look for genius in others.
Simplify your life.
Remain humble while staying in a state of gratitude. Gratitude is a sacred
space where you allow and know that a force greater than your ego is
always at work and always available.
21. A Portrait of a Person Connected to the field of Intention
This is the end and the beginning. We’re coming around full circle.
How close can we, you and I come to making this portrait a reality?
Should we ever stop trying?
Will we need to run through this obstacle course called life a few times
before we get it?
Is there an infinite supply of love and forgiveness to allow us every
possible opportunity to get it right in this life?
What can we do in this life to bridge the gap and return to Eden?
Can we open ourselves just a little more?
Can we be a little more kind?
Can we give just once more?
Can we love a little harder?
Find a bit more beauty where others see ugly?
Can we receive Intention?
