I have, in the past, gone to The Healing Center/Rejuvenation Center in Focus 27 for myself and have also taken people with me, with their permission. What I have experienced is a very loving feeling of being with a lot of Light Beings who are administering energetic healing and also using color and music.

You could set your Intention before going to sleep to experience this and I see no reason why you won't because once we set our Intent, it happens.

  Hi Nrgstream,

  One very useful method I have found to help with virtually anything is self-subconscious programming.   I bought a VOX micro-cassete voice recorder and i sit down, think deeply about some problem or something i want to change and i write down some suggestions.   Then I tape the suggestions that i want.   I usually fast forward a little bit before i start recording because I will push play before i go to bed or before i meditate and i don't won't to disturb my relaxation state.  Here is an example that i shared on another site:

"I made suggestions on a micro cassette recorder and I plan on
turning it on right before i go to sleep for awhile. It seems like the subconscious is somewhat like a computer and it is easy to program right before you fall alseep, somewhere in between deep alpha
wave levels and between mid theta wave levels. It goes something like this "Your deepest desire is to experience, to recieve, to actualize, and to express only the most positive, helpful, patient,
apprecietive, and uncondionally loving energies, thoughts, feelings and actions in your existence.

Because you are one with all of Creation and everything that you think, feel, and do has an effect on everything else, you will always
think, feel, and act with pure unconditional love energy.

Whenever you or someone or something directs or expresses negative energies towards you or any of Creation these negative energies will
simply pass through you without any negative effect and you will remain positive, calm, compassionate, and loving.

From now on you are always completely and powerfully connected to
Spirit and to your highest guidance.

Because you are completely receptive to and desire only to express the highest vibrating energies of all Creation, you can automatically
percieve and experience any dimension or energy you so desire. These perceptions or experiences will always be crystal clear and you will
remember them fully and accurately."

Hey, I like the idea of using a tape recorder. That probably would come in under the radar. 

Not to change the focus too much, but could we also discus what an intention is?  I mean technicaly, not in general.  What is this thing called having intention? It's said that it is not wishing. It is often described as saying something in a firm way without weakness or hesitation.  Why? Would writing it down be better than saying it?  Or better than just thinking it? What are you doing when you speak or write?  Letting someone know what you want? If they know enough to help out, why do they need to be told that you want it?

This tape recorder idea is a way to trigger responses or connetions that already exist in the brain.  Why would that work if intention is a willful act of consciousness? 

A better description, to me, is akin to programming.  You create a pattern in any medium and some feature of the universe will weave any new pattern into the cloth of reality. 

I ask because if I understand how something works, I can figure out how best to do it. Just being told what to do does not light my fire.

Hey nrgstream,
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah, I seem to remember Bruce's example with the finger, been a while since I read it.  I'm struggling with the big  picture.  I'm not comfortable with bits and pieces of the Universe, need to see the big picture before the details. 

If I remember Bruce's example correctly, he was trying to get us to feel what we do when we actually make something happen as opposed to just wanting it to happen. Like intention is some sort of mental stance or specific experience. Seems like an experiential thing rather than something that can be described.

Considering the recorder idea, I'm thinking how I can use a computer to deliver the recorded sounds late at night.  Something that will play a long wav file on a schedule and loop it.  Not something a battery powered recorder can do very well.

[/quote]            Hi John,   I think Bruce is describing the 'place of intention'. More than a mental stance or temporary experience, it is an area we can access or visit. The example of intending a finger to move is a very clever way of accessing state-specific memory, as a means to be in the 'place of intent'. (I have found this idea of state-specific memory to be of profound use.) The info is contained in the After-Life Knowledge workbook and referenced in Bruce's books.    I leave it to him to describe it more fully... To me, your question "What is this thing called intention?" is one of the most important questions a being could ask. It is one of my own key questions, one I continue to explore.    Tim

Hey John,  I used the word 'area', because it sometimes feels like I visit a place in myself that intention resides, that it isn't an attitude or thought, but a spot I can rediscover.....yeah, words and descriptions fail, but I love words! Words are fun and foolish....               Tim
