意念 (yì niàn) — idea, thought (esp. a fleeting or deliberate mental impression)

Definition

意念 stresses the inner mental image or impulse behind an action, not the logical concept itself — closer to 'a notion in the mind' than a worked-out thought. In art, meditation, and 心愿 contexts it leans toward an inward intention or vision.
