Question about 意のままに


I can't understand quite the meaning of 意のままに in this sentence:

> おさえつけて自分の意のままにすること。

I got it from reading the definition of the word 制御. Does anybody know what it
means?




意のまま has [an independent
entry](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/word/%E6%84%8F%E3%81%AE%E3%81%BE%E3%81%BE/#jn-9077)
in a dictionary. It means 思うとおり _as one wishes_. So the whole phrase literally
means _suppress and put sth at one's own mercy_.
