I had lately a great Tai Chi introductory session, where I had a live experience that where our intention goes, so goes your energy.
It was a simple experience of trying to resist a partner bending my arm. Without any particular instruction, that prove possible (with some exertion). With the instruction of focusing on trying at the same time to reach with one’s arm a distant point (intention), it proved impossible for the partner. In this simple experiment, nothing else had changed (in particular, not the strength of the partner).
This simple experience shows the power of our intention on what we can achieve. Where we have a very strong intention on a (not too) distant purpose, we can just be really invincible. Our focus overcomes all efforts to resist. Nothing can bend us anymore.
Let’s be clear on our intention, and with our focus, we won’t be influenced any more by external forces. Our energy will flow towards our intent.
