On my desk at work I used to have two file holders that were displayed prominently. One said “To Do Tomorrow,” and the other said “To Avoid Doing All Together.” My intention was to be humorous, and most people took it that way. Because I am my own boss, no one could tell me to take it off the desk…and I liked the idea of being able to put something in a perpetual holding pattern until I was ready to deal with it. But this funny story also illustrates a few things about Law of Attraction, connection to Source, and general happiness in your life. We all have things that we file in a vibrational “to do tomorrow” file, and today is a good day to look and see what you have put in there so far.
Law of Attraction works all day every day to match your average vibration with similar thoughts, events, circumstances, and miracles that expand your idea of what already is. Law of Attraction does not give you new material to work with, but rather it adds to what you have presently. Like attracts like. The only way to change your present reality is to expand your idea of what already is, and to practice thinking, feeling, and acting in new vibrational patterns. In essence, you have to live your desires today, and feel as if you already have the new circumstance you desire. For example, if you want a new intimate relationship, you would do well to spend time in the present savoring how wonderful this relationship already is, enjoying how you feel in the new relationship, and letting yourself bliss out about it right now. If you try, you can “trick yourself” into enjoying the relationship even before it appears! And once you learn this technique: to appreciate, love, and enjoy things before they manifest…you will change your life into a magical expression of bliss, allowing, and connection. You see, once you think you have something, to the point of being grateful and appreciative for it NOW, it will be matched and intensified by Law of Attraction, and your experience will expand to include more of it. Like attracts like.
So when you file something you want in your mental “to do tomorrow” file, you tell Law of Attraction that you don’t want it today. You speak through your vibration by affirming that everything you want is coming in the future. But, of course, tomorrow never comes. Tomorrow becomes now, and next week becomes now, and next year becomes now, and unless you change your vibrational “to do tomorrow” file to read “already completed,” you will never see evidence of the things you want. What do you think about and yearn for as a future event, circumstance, or manifestation? Just finish this sentence: “Someday I will…” and you will have your list. You may say “Someday I will lose weight, have more money, have a lover, be healthy, and have a meaningful job.” None of these can ever come to you today, and tomorrow never comes either. You have to refile these into a vibration of being here right now. You have to feel the joy you would feel if they were here now. You just have to be a match to having them already. It’s not as hard as it may seem, and your imagination is your friend. Be child-like and enjoy pretending more. Talk like the things are already real. Savor having it all right now, then see your life change in 30 days or less. I am not kidding when I say you can attract anything you want, but you have to get out of the way and stop putting things in your “future file.” Are you ready to enjoy yourself today, knowing fully that it’s yours already? Enjoy this most amazing and joyful day! Chris-GP

In my latest post, I promised to contribute a list of tips that I use to fill my emotional/vibrational gas tank. Here they are, and I look forward to hearing any others that you might have as well. Remember that your feelings and emotions tell you everything you need to know about your connection to Source. When you feel good, you are attracting things you want though the Law of Attraction. When you feel disconnected, you are not allowing your desires to flow to you. But you have to feel all your feelings and not deny them. You have to reach for relief from how you feel by making the best of it, and by reaching for thoughts that feel better. Here are ways I do this every day:
- I stop, relax, and close my eyes for a few minutes while taking deep , cleansing breaths.
- I think about my dogs who are cute, adorable, and connected always to Source.
- I think about my amazing job, and the people I get to work with who are awesome.
- I eat foods that feed my body with nutrients and natural energy.
- I talk about my life in ways that feel good. I tell others how good things are, but in ways that feel true.
- I read the “Good News” section of Gratitude Planet.
- I call friends who I know love me and will join me in my joy.
- I take a nap. I love naps.
- I meditate for 10-15 minutes.
- I take a long walk and give thanks for all the gifts in my life.
How about you? What do YOU do to fill your tank? Leave a comment if you have something to share. Be Well, Marie-GP

Isn’t it a little disconnecting to listen to the news? It seems like it is next to impossible to listen to an hourly update on National Public Radio without news of death and gloom happening somewhere in the world. The problem with this is, of course, that you can’t give your attention to something unwanted without including it in your vibration. Anything you look at, observe, associate with, or perceive in any way becomes part of your personal vibration…the same vibration that you send out to the Universe asking for more of the same. Remember that the Law of Attraction is always working perfectly to line you up with more of what you are offering in every moment. So what ever you include in your perception, you get more of over time. Everyone gets to choose what they give their attention to, so we advise you to choose only things that feel good when you think them…and literally ignore the rest. You may ask, “but what if I end up living under a rock, not knowing what is going on in the world?” And we say, if you feel good under the rock, blissfully unaware, through your connection you will attract many good things to you. And you may still worry “how can I function without the news and without knowing about the world around me?” It’s doesn’t need to be an “either/or” question. I suggests the following: Make your own news! Sift through the news looking for things that make you feel good while reading about them. For example, if the unemployment rate goes to 10%, think about the fact that nine out of ten people still have a job, and that things for the others will get better very soon. That feels better than focusing on the part of the story that feels bad when you read it. In fact, there may be only 10% bad news going on in the world right now. Just because the media scrapes up these bad stories and gives them 90% of the air time does NOT mean you need to give it 100% of your attention. What is the good news for you today? I can think of ten bits of good news in my life this morning:
1. I slept well last night
2. Loved breakfast today
3. Enjoyed a conversation with a friend last night
4. Found something I thought I lost
5. Fixed my internet connection
6. Digested my food efficiently
7. Had a good chance to do yoga and meditate this morning
8. Saw many smiling faces on my morning walk
9. Attended a great concert last night
10. Met some new friends that have common interests with me lest night
Are these stories of good news? You bet! Why give your attention to a small amount of bad news that is blown all out of proportion? Try giving your full attention to the 90% of the news that is closer, more real to you, and that feels good right now. You’ll be glad you did, and quickly you will feel good, connected to the world, and ready to receive all that you are asking for. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

Gratitude Planet is dedicated to helping you feel better every day. Feeling better simply means moving up the Emotional Scale and finding the best thought that you have access to. But some people say that feeling grateful implies a feeling of relief from something that almost happened that was uncomfortable. Something like, “I am grateful that that car behind me didn’t hit me when I slammed on my brakes.” While this might be true, the word “gratitude” by itself does not need to imply a state just missing some sort of disappointment. What really matters is how you feel when you declare what you are grateful for. Some people use the word appreciation instead of gratitude when they make their positive statements, but either word can work. It’s up to you. In reality, a word is just made up of symbols that attempt to convey, in this case, a feeling or a vibration. It is the vibration that matters the most. The key is connecting to what you are feeling. So in your gratitude, color it with a good dose of appreciation, and connect to the best feeling you can find. How you feel is always the best indicator of your Point of Attraction, and gratitude and appreciation are always close to your Vortex, the place where you are completely connected to Source Energy and allowing all good things to flow to you. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

Your Emotions Are Your Indicators!
Once I started using the Law of Attraction consciously in my daily life, I started worrying about my thoughts more. I started noticing that I didn’t feel good as much as I thought I did. I began to worry that if I thought “wrong thoughts,” my life would crumble as the Law of Attraction brought me more things I thought about. I began to fear my own thoughts and feelings. I was afraid that if I thought something that didn’t feel “good” that I would have to suffer the consequences when the thoughts manifested. I started trying to NOT think certain thoughts, which is next to impossible. If I tell you NOT to think about a red rose, you have already thought about it before you finish this sentence. For a while I was caught in a “thought trap” where I tried to only be “positive” and I tried to resist “negative” thoughts and emotions. If you have ever done this, you know that it isn’t much fun at all. Being cheery when you feel cranky feels bad in the end, but if you are afraid to feel cranky…you are stuck. A happy mask doesn’t change the way you feel inside, so you are really not paying attention to your feelings, thoughts, and emotions at all. You are just ignoring all of it. Is that what we are supposed to do? Is Law of Attraction about ignoring how you feel? Of course, the answer is a resounding NO!
While the thoughts you think and the emotions you feel absolutely do create your point of attraction, your feelings are your indicator of where you are on the emotional/vibrational scale. If you are unfamiliar with the emotional/vibrational scale, you can read more about it HERE. Your feelings are not to be feared because they give you important information about your present state of allowing. Your feelings tell you when you are connected to Source Energy, and also when you are resisting your Source Energy. It’s like your gas gauge in your car. You don’t get mad at the gas tank because it indicates that you need to stop and fill the tank, do you? (You may not like how often it reads empty, but that’s a different thing! LOL!) Fearing your feelings and pretending to be happy when you aren’t is just like putting a “smiley face” sticker over your gas gauge. You ignore the important information, and pretty soon there is a crisis much bigger than you had hoped for. So I learned to let my feelings be my feelings, and I started filling my emotional/vibrational tank when my “feeling gauge” told me to. I stopped fearing my thoughts and feelings, and just rode them up and down the Vibrational scale with ease. I relaxed more, and I found it to be very freeing.
I will post a list of tips that I use to fill my emotional/vibrational tank soon. Until then, just be easy about your feelings and emotions. What ever you feel is real, but it is not permanent. You are never stuck in one emotion for very long, and you can always find the best thought you have access to. Acknowledge what is, and then look for relief from the feeling. Ignoring is not a good way to manage your emotions, but feeling fully is. It’s OK to feel your feelings, and today is a great day to give yourself this permission, if you haven’t done so already. Be Well, Marie-GP

March 1, 2010
When you think about Law of Attraction, it is always best to think about how allowing works. Allowing is the key to letting the things you want come to you in a magical way. You see, you don’t always have to try so hard to think about the things you want. If you have a desire for something, the Universe has heard your wanting, and agrees with you that you should have it. It is ready to deliver it to you, as long as you don’t get in the way. How could you get in the way, you ask? One way would be to keep asking for it over and over again. But that doesn’t seem quite right, does it? You would think that as I keep asking, it might come faster…like bugging a waiter for a glass of water. But the thing is, when you ask it is always from the standpoint of knowing you don’t have it. You don’t ask for water if you already have it. You only think to ask when you know it isn’t there, and Law of Attraction matches you every time. Asking for something just reinforces what IS, but asking is an important first step to the creative process. So once you have asked, it is time to allow.
Allowing is easy to understand, and not that hard to do when you pay attention. Allowing is simply letting in your well being. It requires you to stay out of your own way by not contradicting your own desires. In fact, allowing is a natural state of enjoying your life. When you relax and pet your cat, or pause to take in the beauty of an art work or sunset, you are in a state of allowing. The opposite of allowing is resistance. Resistance is NOT a flow of negative energy. It is a SLOWING of the life force that is natural to you. Hear that clearly: you allow your wellbeing, or you resist it. There is no assertion of “not-wellbeing.” Bad stuff can’t get you when you are looking away. You are either letting in wellness, prosperity, health and love, or you are pinching it off a little. It’s nice to know that you get to choose to allow or resist the flow of wellbeing, isn’t it? How can you maximize your allowing? By NOT resisting. If you meditate, you stop thought, and therefore you stop any resistant thought, and your stream of allowing increases. When you feel good you increase allowing. When you let go of the struggle, you increase allowing. When you share gratitude and appreciation, you increase your allowing. When you give compliments to others, or make the best of any situation, you increase your allowing. Any time you think the same vibrational thought as your Source does, you really ramp up your allowing. It’s really pretty cool.
Today, just feel for your wellbeing by relaxing into it even more. Don’t go on crusades to fix things that aren’t yours to fix, or feel the need to be right in every situation. Let people do their thing, while you do your thing. Love and appreciate, but stop trying to make things happen…instead, allow things to happen. Breathe deeply, visualize joyfully, and expand into your deepest allowing. Watch the things you want materialize without your conscious need to struggle. Let the magic of Law of Attraction work in your favor to expand your life into more bliss and connection. Be.Love today, Hannya-GP
Allow Joy!

Good Morning to the GP Community! This is just a short post from an idea I had when I woke up today. I know that when I plan a vacation, I like to talk to a professional travel agent. I like going to a person who knows better than I do what opportunities are out there for me. I enjoy deferring to them to tell me what I would enjoy, and what I can expect when I get to my destination. It is easier to let this person guide me to fun than it is to figure it all out for myself. Of course they try to find out what kind of vacationer I am by asking me what I like to do and running various ideas by me first. Having a “middleman” is great in this case. I don’t need to go to the destination and figure it out because I can trust the middleman to tell me what I need to know. But what about Law of Attraction? Is there a middleman that can guide me when it comes to attracting wealth, health, prosperity, and wellness? Can I go to someone who can tell me what I should do? The answer is yes, and no.
Yes, you can find out a lot of information about Law of Attraction by visiting sites like Gratitude Planet, reading books on the subject, and talking to others about it. But these resources are not your travel agent-type of middlemen who can tell you what to do. Only YOU know what is appropriate for you in every moment. Law of Attraction is alive and running in the background all the time. There is no official book that can be your middleman, telling you how to act, feel and behave to be worthy. You are already worthy. And what anyone else has done or will do is not as important to you as your own personal preferences, thoughts, feelings, and desires. Some people reject Law of Attraction for this reason. Some prefer, like I do with travel, to basically be told what they should do. They don’t want the responsibility to figure it out on their own. They like taking themselves out of the decision and going along with the plan set forth for them. But there is no middleman with Law of Attraction: You Choose! Your results and the joy in your life is based on your own vibration, and you can’t wait to be told what to think and feel. Feel every moment and choose to be the best-feeling YOU that you can be. Don’t Wait! LIVE TODAY! Cut out the middleman and take control. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post! Lisa-GP
You Are Loved and Free!

As you are practicing being a deliberate creator of your life, it is so important to be choosy about what you give your attention to. Your focus of thinking, feeling, and acting is what creates your point of attraction…and point of attraction is like a telegram you deliver to Law of Attraction asking the Universe to match you with more of the same. This makes sense when you think of your point of attraction in terms of an average vibration. If you take any measure 100 times, you will begin to approach a reliable average for that particular measurement. For example, if you randomly measure the heights of 100 people in a large room full of 500 people, and then add the heights and divide the sum by 100, you will have a good average measurement for the height of all people in the room. Of course, your reliability gets better when you measure more and more people. One hundred gives you a good start at estimating the average, and five hundred obviously determines the exact average. Your point of attraction, then, is your exact vibrational average over time…and as I said, it is what Source Energy sends you more of through the Law of Attraction. This is why people get frustrated with deliberate creation sometimes, and this frustration makes complete sense when you dig just a little deeper.
When you compute an average, you are taking into account every measure collected so that you can have a single number to report. But within the 100 height measurements described above, there will still be some rather tall people and some rather short people. This becomes clearer when you think of the extremes in this example. If I measured only two people in a room, and there were only two people there, I could still compute the average height for the room. Let’s say one person is seven feet tall and the other is four feet tall. The equation is ((7+4)/2)=5.5. So the average height in this room with two people is 5.5 feet. But no one in the room is actually that height! An average, in this case, doesn’t describe anyone in the room specifically at all in terms of height. Yet that is what an average is…the measure that crunches all the numbers to get a single measure in the middle.
When you think, feel, and act, you are creating vibrational measures that are sent to the Universe. But the Universe has the ability to collect every one of these measures to compute your vibrational average. The Universe never just sifts through to take a sample. In other words, you are constantly sending vibrational measurements when you think, feel, and act, each day, every day, in every second of every moment. Your average vibration might be made up of some really good-feeling moments, as well as some very disconnected moments, as well as a bunch of “in between” moments. This is why what you get sometimes seems to be different than what you thought you were asking for. If you have a car accident, it’s not because you thought the words “car accident.” Rather, your vibrational average was matched by Law of Attraction to bring you the experience of “car accident.” An unpleasant manifestation will always have some very disconnected moments preceding it to bring down the vibrational average over time. Likewise, pleasant manifestations will be preceded by enough connected moments that drive up the average as well. What you think and feel (on average) is always, always, always a match to what you get, period.
Because you are asking all day, every day, it makes sense to give your focus and attention only to things that drive up your vibrational average over time. As a spirit having a human experience, there will always be some moments of contrast and disconnection…and that’s OK! Remember that a tall person and a short person equal an average-height person, so being really disconnected or really connected some of the time won’t bring you either extreme as an average vibration. It is your job (and this is your only job) to raise your vibrational average. When you do, your get more prosperity, wealth, wellness, health, joy, gratitude, bliss, and abundance. Today, make every moment an opportunity to raise your vibrational average by being grateful for what you already have. Give thanks for the people you interact with, and feel appreciation for the way the day unfolds before you. Know that this moment, and every moment, is the Earth-bound, human reflection of your vibrational average up to this point, and that you are always adding to the bottom line. Your vibrational average will always equal your point of attraction! Relax and enjoy the process. Your job is simply to make the best of it, and then to enjoy the miracle of the Universe and Law of Attraction as you get more and more of the life you want. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP
Love This Day!

Hi Everyone! I wrote a post called “Lift Your Mood With Healthy Food” a while back, and I wanted to write a short post today too. I have found that when I get stuck on a thought or habit of doing things that it can be hard to change my ways. After a while you start expecting things in your life to stay the same, because nothing seems to be changing very much. Law of Attraction is really just bringing you change that feels the same because your thoughts and feelings and actions aren’t changing much either. Change can only come when you change your focus, so you have to be the first thing that changes, and then you will see change come to you. I have decided to expect miracles in my life. You see, a miracle is something that seems unlikely. It is like someone walking on water, or healing a sick person. Yet, miracles happen every day when you expect them. If you made a list of things you want, and then you really expected to get them, you would get them! Here is a list of “miracles” that I know many people want but hold themselves away from:
IT WOULD BE A “MIRACLE” IF I COULD:
- loose 20 pounds.
- get a job.
- find a Soulmate.
- be healthy again.
- feel young again.
- have children.
- buy a house.
There are many, many more too. Start thinking of a miracle as something people manifest every day. Make it something you expect everyday. You might think it isn’t possible, but it is possible once you take the resistance out of the equation. What is YOUR miracle? What would you allow into your experience if you could ask for ANYTHING? Let us know. Expect to see you miracle, and you will.
In Joy and Appreciation, Christina

After reading Chris’ post entitled “Understanding and Using the Emotional Scale,” I experienced some insights that I would like to share with the GP community. As you may know, the way we feel has everything to do with what is being lined up for us using the Law of Attraction. The Emotional and Vibrational Scale helps us know where we are in relation to the Vortex (where we are connected to prosperity, Source Energy, and well-being). As I understood it, we all have a range of emotions that we have access to, and no single emotion can be very far away from one that is similar, either just above, or just below that feeling or emotion. If what we are feeling is not what we want for ourselves, we can choose to move up the Emotional Scale by choosing the feeling that is just above where we are presently feeling. When we obtain that lift in thought and emotion, and then find ourselves thinking and feeling the higher thoughts and feelings than where we started out, we move closer to feeling good and allowing everything we want to flow to us. Isn’t it good to know that we are never stuck in any one place, feeling any one feeling, for an indefinite amount of time? WE can choose for ourselves what we want to think and feel, and the Universe will respond to what we are thinking and feeling, bringing us closer and closer to our own Vortex, where all that we have asked for has been waiting to manifest into our lives.
At the end of the post, Chris put a picture of the emotional scale that he made for himself and his wife, which hangs on the wall in their home. It was great to get a visual representation of the emotional scale, and see how it works in a two dimensional example. As I studied the scale more and more, a mental picture began forming in my mind that was different from the one I was looking at on the site. Not BETTER….not IMPROVED….just different. As I see it, the Vibrational and Emotional Scale can be more fluid. I began to see two spirals of thoughts and feelings coming from the very center of the head, and moving in opposite directions from each other; one spiral going upward, the other going downward. Imprinted on the spirals are the words of the Emotional/Vibrational Scale (Contentment, Hopefulness, Pleasure, Joy, etc.). As you move upwards on the spiral, the spiral gradually becomes larger, because, as we know, the better we feel, the more good things compound and become greater, and the more joy we experience. We get more and more of all the good things that we desire, and our vibration lifts higher and faster, until we reach union with our inner being, and connect fully to Source Energy. The same can be said of the downward spiral. As we give attention to those things that cause us to travel along the downward spiral, our problems, our frustrations, our guilt, bad feelings and depressive moods compound on to one another, and we find ourselves getting further and further away from our true nature, and thus, further and further away from our connection to Source Energy. The GOOD news, of course, is that we don’t have to stay in that downward spiral. We can choose to change direction and start traveling upwards. If we are in frustration, we can just slide up the spiral to pessimism. From there, we slide up to boredom, and so forth. If we are in Hopefulness, we slide up the upward spiral to Optimism, and then up to Positive Expectations…..you get the idea.
One thing about the double spiral is that it allows for a state of equilibrium…contentment. When you are content, you are neither reaching for something, nor are you feeling that something is missing from your life experience. You are, as one of my teachers says “unconsciously incompetent,” meaning you don’t know that you are missing anything. It is because of this equilibrium that I chose to put contentment directly in the center, between the two spirals.
After I was “content” with the way the spirals worked, I decided to try the idea out. I found it to be a great help throughout the day! At any point, all I needed to do was notice how I was feeling, and picture in my mind’s eye the two spirals coming out the top of my head and out the bottom, and then visualize where I was on either spiral. From there, I imagined sliding up the spiral to the next highest thought and feeling, until I was sure that I had expanded into the new person who embodied that higher feeling. From there, I slid up the spiral again, and again, and again until I reached the highest thought and feeling I could for that moment of the day. I found it to be very efficient, and sooooo easy to do!!
I hope that this helps some of you in getting more in touch with the Emotional/Vibrational Scale. I’ve asked Chris to include a visual aid, so that everyone can look at the spirals to get a better idea of what I’m talking about. If this made you think about all of this in a new way, please let us all know by commenting on this post. Just click on the little “bubble” near the top right by the title. Enjoy!! Lee-GP

The phrase “Thank You Sir, May I Have Another?” is usually associated with a sarcastically humorous reference to fraternity hazing where a pledge gets a wooden paddle across his back side and is required to politely ask for another wack. Regardless of the negative connotations associated with this image, it is a good one for understanding the Law of Attraction and how it functions in your life. When you give your attention to something…or anything, for that matter, you include it in your vibration and add it to your point of attraction. Your point of attraction is what Law of Attraction matches and magnifies, so to give something your attention is to literally ask for more of it. Yes, that’s right, your simple attention to anything helps create more of it in your life, even if you don’t want more of it. But, you say, I know the difference between things I want and things I don’t want. Surely Source Energy is smart enough to know what I want. But here is the difference: Source is “smart enough” to give you anything you ask for, but it does not decide for you in terms of what you want. You are so free to choose that you can choose bondage, and Source will agree with you. There is no “overrule” law that asks you before you choose. You live, and in living you focus, and through your focus you choose, and in your choosing you are asking for more. So what you give your attention to really does matter.
Today, just notice what you are choosing to include in your vibration. The Gratitude Planet staff is always encouraged to ignore bad-feeling news stories when they post to the “Good News” section of GP, and we all get distracted into reading some stories that feel bad from time to time. But we notice when we are doing it, and then we choose differently as soon as we can. Just because something looks interesting doesn’t mean it feels good. Law of Attraction brings you more and more of what you give your attention to and include in your vibration over time, so remember to ask for things you want by focusing on the things you want exclusively when you can. In every waking moment, you are literally saying: “Please Law of Attraction, may I have another event like that one?” May you enjoy this most amazing and creative day! Chris-GP
Feel Better...Move Ahead!

As I understand the Law of Attraction, there is no thing that you can’t have as long as you align of the vibration of the thing or circumstance you want. I am getting clearer and clearer that the words I say to myself don’t matter as much as the feeling of the words I am saying to myself. This is so important because the Universe only reads your vibration but not your words. So no matter how “positive” you think you have been, the only thing that matters is the vibration behind the words. This is why if you have been saying positive affirmation statements about getting more money, but no money has come yet, you should pay more attention to how you feel when you say these statements. If you say “I have all the money I need, I have all the money I need, I have all the money I need” but don’t see more prosperity manifesting, you might be feeling “I need more money, I need more money, I need more money” when you say those words instead. Whatever you get is what the Universe heard, and your life right now is the vibrational match of the feelings you have been feeling. I love this because I have all the feedback I need to know how I have been doing. On any topic I can see what IS and then adjust my thinking (and feeling) to see what changes. It’s a great scientific experiment, really. The constants are the Law of Attraction and Source Energy. The variables are your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Change the variables to see the effect on your life. You don’t need to control for the constants! They don’t change at all. You have complete control of the variables but you may have patterns of thinking, feeling and acting that no longer serve you. If your life is not changing to be more like what you want it to be, you have to change the variables of the scientific equation: your thoughts, feelings, and actions. These together add up to your Point of Attraction which is the REAL message and variable of the equation. Your point of attraction is what Law of Attraction matches and amplifies. If you are in a rut with your thinking and feeling, even if you change your words, if your point of attraction is recreated the same, nothing will seem to change for you.
Today, think of your life as a brand new experiment. Make a decision to change the variables for the duration of the experiment. Decide how long the experiment will be. I recommend you start with a week. You should see a little change in your results in a week, and if you can stick with it longer, everyone will see your results in about 30 days. Change your patterns and habits intentionally. Do things you have put off, or enjoy things you love to do more. Worry less. Walk a new way to work, or call a friend you haven’t spoken to in years. Watch new TV programs, or turn off your TV. Read a new book. Start a new exercise program, or a new diet. The goal is to change your point of attraction, even a little. Then you will believe in the power of your life to be whatever you want it to be. You are the great scientist of your life, and the experiment never ends, and you can’t ever mess it up forever either. You can always begin again. Be.Love today, Hannya-GP

After reading Chris’ article on “Upping Your Allowing” (February 16, 2010) I have been thinking about the word “allowing” quite a bit. I just want to bring you an insight I came to today about all of this. I have had some confusion with the word allowing because I interpret it to mean “surrender.” Surrender means, to me, to give up your power and ability to control things. I personally don’t want to give up my ability to choose and direct my life, and really, who would want to give up their personal power? Allowing has kind of stood for “the tub is overflowing, so I will allow it to continue while I hope for the best.” To me, that is a cop-out and feels irresponsible. I get this image of people who don’t get up everyday and hope that they will “allow” food to be served to them in bed. Anyway, you get the point. Yet, most everything I have read about Law of Attraction includes the “A-Word.” What is this allowing thing, and how can I understand it better? I came to this…
I was in yoga class yesterday morning when the teacher said something that sparked my inspirational understanding: “Yoga is not about trying harder, it is about surrender. But by surrender, we really mean ‘give up the struggle.’ Yoga is about releasing the struggle.” She went on to explain that we don’t focus on all the muscles of the body at the same time, and that when we do a yoga pose we are to release the tension of the unneeded muscles. It was amazing to play with this idea, because I was absolutely able to relax the muscles that I wasn’t using for a particular pose, but only after I “gave up the struggle.” Those muscles were being used for no real good reason, and they were tense even though they didn’t have to be. They were struggling to fix a problem that didn’t exist. Ah-Hah! Lightbulb! Allowing is not surrender. It isn’t irresponsibility! It is really about knowing when the tension, resistance, or struggle in your life is really unnecessary. You don’t need to adopt a life of passivity, but instead you should take care of the things you need to do while letting go of the struggle created in your mind.
So if you approach life like yoga, with your allowing as a high-level, wise and evolved skill, you would do your pose (get up and be actively engaged in your life, moving ahead with inspiration) and then release into the pose (give up the struggle around the things that you can’t control or make up on your own) and then give thanks and gratitude for where you are today (appreciate what you CAN do today, and what you already have today in your life). Allowing is not passive…it’s actively letting go of your struggle. Do what you can to allow more well-being into your life today. It will make all the difference, I promise! Be Well, Marie-GP

Don’t you feel, at times, that no one listens to what you are saying? Aren’t there times when you wish that people would just do what you want them to do, no questions asked? Sure, it would be nice to have a staff of people on your payroll who would make it their business to keep YOUR business in line…but people aren’t on planet Earth for your selfish desires. Everyone is searching to find their own joy and fulfillment, and so are you. We all have our own personal journey and dreams of adventure. So who can you count on to help you with your own private agenda? Why, Source Energy and Law of Attraction, of course!
Source Energy is always thinking about you in positive ways. Source is vibrating from a different vantage point than you are, and from the perspective of Source, all is well in your world. You are loved by Source, and your life, choices, growth, and expansion are all valued by your greater awareness that is nested in Source Energy. You are never wrong in the eyes of your greater consciousness, and your life is seen as a perfect unfolding of events and experiences that bring your thought beyond that which it has been before. You are a spiritual being having a human experience, and your spirit is much greater than the present awareness you have of YOU. You are the leading edge of a greater YOU that knows that life is supposed to be fun, and that the purpose of life is joy. This greater YOU is always on your side, and knows you better than anyone ever could know you. It’s fun to know that we have this personal connection to our broader perspective, and it’s exhilarating to feel the connection to our inner being through this connection to Source Energy. When we think like our inner being, connected to Source, we feel great because there is no discord between our human opinions and the opinions of our broader perspective. When we disagree with the consistently positive and connected opinions of our Source, we feel bad because of the discord of vibrations created by the pure, positive nature of Source, and the occasionally disconnected, self-degrading thoughts we entertain from time to time. In short, the more we think like Source, the better we feel, and the happier we are. You would do well to agree as often as you can with the opinions of Source Energy.
Law of Attraction, on the other hand, always agrees with YOU! What ever you decide, Law of Attraction works tirelessly to agree, hear your vibrational wish, and bring you more things, people, and events that match the essence of your wish. The Law of Attraction never asks “why do you want that?” It never questions your desires, opinions, or asking. It is like the story of the Genie in the Bottle who, after being released from the bottle, grants the wishes of the person who rubbed the bottle. The Genie didn’t question the wishes, but rather exclaimed “Your wish is my command!” This is great news, you might be thinking…and it is…as soon as you understand what it means “to ask.”
We ask Law of Attraction to line us up with things every time we direct our focus on something. The Law of Inclusion dictates that if we perceive something, we are asking for more of it. If you read stories about, say, car accidents, then you are including “car accidents” in your vibration and perception, and the Law of Attraction says “your wish is my command…I will bring you more interactions, events and experiences that match ‘car accidents.’” Whoa, you say, I never said I wanted car accidents. It doesn’t matter. If you include it in your experience and focus over time, you are asking for more. So it is very important to be picky about what you include in your awareness and vibration. A good rule of thumb is, if you want more of something, keep paying attention to it.
I appreciate the consistency of Source Energy requiring my agreement, and Law of Attraction always agreeing with me, even when I ask for things I really don’t want. It also grants me my wishes when I focus on things that I truly want more of as well. The more I think like Source, the more I can allow Source Energy to flow into my life. The more choosy I become with what I feed my vibration, the more I can enjoy the joy of life, and the expansion of my awareness. Your wishes CAN, and DO come true every day. Let your life be a powerful example of asking Law of Attraction for the things that thrill you and expand your joy. Your wish is my command…so take command today. Enjoy this most amazing day!

February 16, 2010
There are so many ways to enjoy this life, and joy, expansion, and freedom are what we all are wanting to experience. Don’t you agree? We want things…cars, relationships, health, wellness, prosperity…because we think that in having these things we will feel better. So our goal in creating deliberately using the Law of Attraction isn’t about getting stuff, but rather it’s about feeling better. It’s a catch 22 here. You can’t postpone feeling better, or Law of Attraction will line you up with more of the stuff you feel bad about. But if you choose to feel better before you get the stuff, then why do you really want the stuff? “Getting the stuff isn’t as thrilling when I already feel good about it today,” you might say. And this is the paradox of deliberate creation: your goal is not stuff, your goal is joy. And through your joy, you can, and will, have your stuff. It’s simple to understand, but more challenging to put into daily practice. Today is the perfect time to start, if you haven’t already been doing this.
A key to deliberate creation in your life is the word “allowing.” Allowing is a practice where you let go of the struggle and relax into your well-being. It is a state where you take your hand off the hot stove. It is a mind-frame where you turn and go with the current of the vibrational stream. It is the ability to expand into joy, and to maximize your connection to Source Energy. Allowing is the opposite of resisting, and I recommend you always focus on increasing something you want, rather than stopping something unwanted. So these tips are not about stopping resistance, but rather about increasing your allowing. Enjoy these ideas for upping your allowing, and then go out and enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP
- Notice your breath. If there are any traces of inhibition of free flow, acknowledge it, and then allow these blocks to dissipate. Feel your breath flowing easily and fully in and out of your lungs. Be natural about it, and enjoy the feeling of letting it expand you in all directions. If you can, close your eyes while you do this.
- Notice you body. Do you have any places where you hold tension? Is your neck pain-free? Are your hips, joints, and muscles limber and free to move naturally? Find one place to focus upon, and then imagine love and white light bathing the area. Flow your breath freely, and affirm that you are consciously allowing energy to flow freely in the area. Picture the area relaxing and expanding. See any pain melting into freedom. Give thanks and gratitude, and then feel for another area, if one exists.
- Notice your thoughts. Do you have thoughts that hit an emotional dead end? Are there habits of thinking that don’t feel good while you think them? Do you worry about certain topics, or feel fear around certain ideas? If so, you can up your allowing by either redirecting your attention to another topic, or by making the best of the thought you are thinking while you are thinking it. Like your muscles, thoughts can cause pain. But if you notice the pain, and then imagine the thought evaporating…to be replaced with a better-feeling version…you will now have more freedom and joy in your thinking. Don’t push against the thought, or try “not to think” it. Just find a new thought, even if it feels “less real” at this point. “Reality” is merely the most practiced version of the “truth.” Let your vibrational “truth” reflect your desire to be connected, joyful, and happy.
- Notice your giving and receiving. Are you giving and receiving in a balanced way? Too much of either can cause a painful imbalance in your vibration. If you feel a need to give, tip more, volunteer your time, or donate to a good cause that you believe in. Smile more, and give more compliments to others. If you feel a need to receive more, than take opportunities to receive with a sacred and grateful intention. This can be through receiving a massage, a letter, a compliment, or through receiving something with monetary value. Give thanks, and then allow the gift to fill you with gratitude. Affirm that you are worthy and open to receiving well-being. Allow this balance of energy to keep you grounded and focused.
- Notice how much you love and appreciate. To be joyful and allowing, you must be connected to your loving source. What do you love? How do you express your love to others? Can you extend your full love inward toward yourself? Can you appreciate the world as it is, and can you find reasons to expand your love without needing to change others? When you can love everything, even when everything appears not to be loving you back, you have found the secret to loving. To get love, you have to be in love…with everything. If love is your vibrational focus, then the Law of Attraction MUST being you more of the same. Up your allowing by loving fully and completely, and then let the Universe expand you in your joy!
Feel Better...Move Ahead!

February 14, 2010
As Valentine’s Day is upon us, I would like to pause to say a few words about love and The Law of Attraction. We know that the Law of Attraction is a powerful law of the Universe that governs how energy is attracted to similar energy. It is a vibrational law that helps you decipher your role in creating your life. Law of Attraction never lines you up with people and events that are very different than your average personal vibration, so there is never any danger of things being “asserted” into your experience. In other words, your vibration, based on your thoughts, feelings, and actions, is what invites the Law of Attraction to magnify your present experience. In fact, I like the image of a magnifying glass here. You never expect a magnifying glass to make an image different, but only bigger. Law of Attraction does the same as you offer a vibration…it makes where ever you are and what ever you have been thinking about bigger, more real, and part of your daily “reality.” You can’t blame a magnifying glass for giving more detail and information when you look through it, and likewise, there is no blame for the Law of Attraction when it matches your vibration and sends you more of the same. You get to choose what comes to you, especially when you learn to use the Law of Attraction deliberately and with conscious intent. So how does this all relate to the topic of Love?
Love, like all feelings, emotions and vibrational offerings, is experienced strongly sometimes, and less strongly other times. It feels great to “be in love,” and everyone enjoys the experience of having their heart completely open and free. Yet it is also true that you can’t always feel the powerful intoxication of love at all times. As spiritual beings having a human experience, there will always be times when we move down the vibrational scale for one reason or another. Our connection to Source Energy will come and go. But if your greater intention is to be connected, and if your desire is to feel good, you will be more likely to pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, and actions in relation to what you are getting in your life as it unfolds. Your experience of love will match your overall average practice of self love and loving thoughts every day. Simply put, if you want more love in your life, you have to love more. Love whom, you might ask?
The Law of Attraction matches you with your present vibration. Love NOW to have more love later. Don’t wait for love to come to you. In any moment you can start making lists of the things you love about yourself. Decide to appreciate YOU for the amazing person you are right now. Ignore your critical thoughts by replacing them with thoughts that feel honest, but good. Law of Attraction will hear these thoughts just as loudly as any other thoughts, and will begin sending you thoughts, feelings, and experiences that match it. The better you feel, the better it gets, and the momentum will build and build. Choose love, be love, feel love…and love MUST be your experience. If you find it hard to love YOU, but find it easy to love others, then spend time appreciating others…but then turn back to YOU and do your best to magnify that experience too. Love your pets, and the environment, and the people in your neighborhood, and the people in the cars you see as you drive to work, and the clouds in the sky, and on and on. Once you choose to love yourself, and the things you encounter every day, you will set up a powerful vortex of magnified love that will flow to you unbounded by anything. You will experience more and more love coming to you “from outside yourself.” Law of Attraction will be your tool for love’s expression in your life more and more often. You will be creating the most amazing life you could ask for, and everything you have been wanting (so far) will flow into your life as easily as your breath flows to you in this moment. May you love today, and everyday. Happy Valentine’s Day! Chris-GP

February 10, 2010
I came to a great realization recently. I realized that you can’t make a thought stop. If you try to stop thinking about something, you only think about it more. So I made a pledge to redirect my thinking instead. Here are three times I did this during this past week:
- My mother called. I was in a rush. I felt mad that she caught me at a bad time. I seemed irritated, and she could tell. I could tell. Then, I decided to think about how much she means to me. I redirected and thought about what a gift it is that she is still alive and aware of her surroundings. I thought about how lucky I am to have her. I felt better. I felt grateful. The conversation went better. I was on time after all to where I was going.
- I was on hold with the phone company trying to sort out a charge on my monthly bill. I held for a while, got a nice person, had it almost resolved when…the call was dropped, and I couldn’t call the agent back. (Irony abounds, eh?) I had to go through the whole process AGAIN! I was ready to take it out on the next person (who didn’t know me or my story at all), but instead, I redirected my thoughts. I “made up” a story about this person, and it went something like this: This person loves their job. They will enjoy helping me. They didn’t cause the dropped call. They will be able to solve this easily. I will enjoy interacting with this agent. And that is EXACTLY what happened. No dropped call either.
- I was driving to work and found myself in bumper-to-bumper traffic. “EEEEK!” I knew i would be really late at the rate the traffic was moving. “Damn it,” I thought. “This sucks! Why ME?” Then I redirected. I told THIS story: Maybe this delay is setting me up to run into events and circumstances that will help me today. Maybe I avoided an accident myself by slowing here. I will be in perfect timing today. I can’t be late, because I am perfectly aligned with people and events. This is just part of the perfection. In the five minutes that I redirected my thoughts, the traffic started moving and I was on my way..and NOT late for work. Gratitude and appreciation flowed.
OK, you might say, thinking didn’t change those circumstances. You just felt better in those circumstances. And I say, look, Law of Attraction either is real, or it isn’t. If it’s real, then how I feel matters a lot! If it isn’t real, I just got lucky. I can’t prove it to you, but you can prove it to yourself. Try redirecting and see if you have fewer bad endings and more good endings to your daily segments. I swear that when I redirect, things work out almost every time. If it has worked for you, even ONCE, leave a comment and let me know about it. Tell me your story people! I know there are thousands, if not millions of people who have experienced this kind of magic in their life. Let’s hear your stories! Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post! Lisa-GP

The Law of Attraction has been criticized by some people as a “selfish” approach to life. It teaches that you can do, be, or have anything you want, as long as you align with the thoughts, feelings, and actions of the things you want. The perception of selfishness is based on a mistaken belief that there is not enough, and that when you get something, someone else misses out. But the Law of Attraction is not a tool for stealing someone else’s stuff from them. It is a tool for aiding in the expansion of the Universe through your focused desires. It is a big part of how the world evolves and expands to accommodate ALL desires on planet Earth. It is a consistent law because it fairly and perfectly brings you events and things that match your average vibrational offering. Law of Attraction never has to say, “sorry, that’s out of stock, please ask for something else right now.” It has the unlimited ability to bring the essence of anything you want into your experience, and it doesn’t matter how many others have asked for the same thing. There is no limit, except the limit of your personal vibrational alignment on any topic. No one can offer a vibration for you, so what you think about and focus on, and how you feel, determines your point of attraction. Law of Attraction is always reading your vibrational point of attraction and matching you up with more experiences that are like it. Another way to say this is that if you think a thought, and you keep thinking this thought, and you really get on a rampage with this thought…then you will find it easier and easier to think this thought, as well as other thoughts that feel just like it. Very soon, you will see evidence of this thought appearing “out of nowhere” and seemingly inserting itself in your daily experience. People, events, and seemingly “chance” occurrences will start to mirror the vibrational average of these thoughts. You will have created a new aspect to your daily experience that now seems to be coming at you from outside yourself…but remember that it all started with a thought you kept thinking and thinking until it had enough momentum to appear and manifest “from outside.” The real question worth asking at this point is “how do you like this thing, circumstance, or experience you have created?” If you are thrilled, bravo to you. If it sucks, you can begin again by choosing a different line of thinking and feeling on this topic. You get to choose. Yea!
So what does it mean to be “selfish” in light of all this? Being selfish means that you care enough about yourself that you are willing to think, feel, and act in positive ways toward yourself. It means that you understand that you are the only one creating and attracting things to you, and it means that you have ultimate responsibility to choose your point of attraction. Being selfish means getting really picky about how you feel, and the thoughts you choose to rampage about. Selfish means “full of self” but not “taking from others.” Selfishness is an act of responsibility where you fill yourself with love and connection, and then radiate that energy out to the world, and the others living in it.
Some feel that the opposite of selfish is “selfless.” They contend that true service to others is demonstrated when you don’t care at all about yourself, but rather when you care more about others. But you can’t think and feel for another person. You can’t align someone else up with anything…that is their job. If you get really focused on someone else’s happiness and turn away from your own happiness, you have little to offer them in terms of happiness. In fact, you can’t get unhappy and inspire ANYONE to happiness. What inspires and attracts happiness is…more happiness. You give to others when you are selfish enough to be connected to Source Energy. You will never be poor enough to make others rich, or sick enough to make others well. Rather, focus on your own thriving on all topics that are important to you. Your success and vibrational set point will inspire others, and you will radiate joy and connection. You help others by living your life fully, and by teaching through your actions. Think about it: When you go to a teacher, you want them to be living the curriculum they teach. You don’t want them to be the opposite of their message so that YOU can align with it. We align with our desires, and the Law of Attraction boosts our alignment, and then we radiate this alignment by being who we are. Be selfish. Care about what you are attracting. Share your connection selflessly. When you are selfish, you now have enough of yourself to give. Be Well, Marie

February 7, 2010
One of the confusing things about Law of Attraction for some people is determining how to make a firm connection between their thoughts and the manifestations attracted by those thoughts. You will remember that what you think, on average and over time, determines your point of attraction. Your point of attraction is the set point that the Universe uses to line you up with events and circumstances. Some people believe that Law of Attraction works like this, because this is their experience: “I want a car. I will think about a car. Now I will get a car. Where the heck is my car? This stuff doesn’t work!” They come to believe that if LoA was really at work behind the scenes, as they have been told it is, then everyone would have everything they want instantly. It is logical, in light of that argument, that LoA is not real, and that what you think doesn’t matter much at all. Yet there have been many, many books over the years that tout the benefits of positive thinking in all areas of living. Positive thinking and optimism have been purported to have positive correlations to expanded health, wealth, wellness, and prosperity. And many of these books and papers don’t discuss or even address a Universal force that lines up events and circumstances. There appears to be a connection to what we think and the results we get in our lives, regardless of the reasons and causes behind the phenomenon. This alone should provide inspiration for a person to examine the contents of their own mind and pay attention to the thoughts they offer on average and over time. Thinking about a car may (or may not) help you get the car. So how do you know if you are attracting the car? One very powerful way to know if the car is on the way is to pay attention to how you feel when you think about the car.
How you feel when you think a thought tells you everything you need to know about your point of attraction surrounding that thought. Here’s why this gets so confused. When you want something, you want it because you feel a lack of it in your “real” experience. In the case of the car, you probably really want the car because you really need the car. You want the car because the car you have is giving you troubles. You might want the car because you are tried of asking for rides, or tired of walking to get around. We ask for things because of a “bad” or contrasting experience that clarifies what we want to change. So if you start thinking about a new car, you will most certainly think about it, at least at first, in light of your present circumstances…a disconnected feeling about what is. Thinking about a new car, but feeling sad or disconnected about your present car (or lack of a car) creates a point of attraction equal to the present car. The Universe, through Law of Attraction, does work…but it matches you up with your present car over and over again. While you think you are asking for something else, your vibrational offering is stuck on wanting the car because you hate what you have, and thus you are attracting to you more of the same.
You can try NOT to think about your present car, but trying not to do something really just equals thinking about it. The Law of Inclusion makes it impossible to exclude a thought, because you can’t NOT think something…attempting to do so causes you to think about it. So instead, turn to thoughts that feel good while you think them. This takes some practice, but if you pay attention to how you feel when you think a thought, you will know if you are allowing the car or not allowing the new car. If you say to yourself, “my car will be so good to drive, and it will be dependable,” only YOU know how this feels. If it feels great to say these words, say them often and look for more words that feel even better. If however, these words imply “because the piece of crap car I am in right now is undependable, and I hate it,” then you are not heading in a vibrational direction that will change circumstances and events to bring the new car into your experience. Here’s the key to all of this: you don’t really need to think about a car at all! If your experience of contrast has clarified a desire for the new car, then it is available to you as soon as you get out of your own way. If you can find connection and feelings that feel like optimism, expectation, happiness, gratitude, or appreciation on random topics in your average daily experience, then you will manifest the new car in short order. Your feelings tell you everything you need to know. Start looking for reasons to feel good today, and look to all the things you are grateful for too. Be appreciative for little miracles that flood your reality every second. You will discover that it’s not difficult to prove that Law of Attraction is real after all, and your friends, family and colleagues will see you thriving. They may ask you what your secret for success is, and you only need to say “It’s no secret. I just care about how I feel. You can do this too.” Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

Sometimes I wonder if being a celebrity is really as much fun as it seems to be. Living a life in the spotlight must have some exciting moments, and I am sure that high-profile people have a sharp sense of the leading edge of thought, for better or for worse. The joy and contrast that famous people encounter, however, is probably not exceedingly different than anyone else’s experience. We have seen a new wave of celebrity scandals lately, from former Presidential candidate John Edwards to golf legend Tiger Woods (as well as many others). No one is perfect, and no one ever will be. Each person has their own challenges and desires, and it can’t be easy to have millions of people watching you at all times, ready to blame you for your imperfect journey on planet Earth. I rarely give these stories my attention because I am not interested in including them in my vibration, and hence, into my experience. But there are two stories I will mention briefly today to make a point…that there is never a mistake concerning the Law of Attraction because what you get is always a match to your vibrational offering…always, with no exceptions.
I was reading another Law of Attraction blog (’cause I always like to read about and meet new people who are deliberate creators), and I read that Dr. Wayne Dyer had been diagnosed with some sort of cancer. My thoughts became confused for a moment, and then I asked “but how could someone like Wayne Dyer, who seems to have his act together so well, attract cancer? What went wrong?” The answer is, of course, that nothing “went wrong.” Knowing about Law of Attraction doesn’t make someone live in a thought bubble and immune to their own habits of thought. You are a spiritual being having a human experience on this planet, so you will have experiences now and again that feel like contrast. It’s part of the deal. That doesn’t mean that you can’t help others with insights that you have gained through your studies and experiences, and your imperfection shouldn’t stop you from adding as much value as you can to this world. The quote I read that was ascribed to Wayne felt very connected, and he seemed to be in a very allowing frame of mind about his diagnosis. This made me think about how we can’t stop contrast from coming into our lives (nor would we want to do this), but that we have ultimate power to decide how we focus our energy after the manifestation. A contrasting experience always opens up a strong desire for something better, and embracing the new desire is our number one job. That is what I felt from reading Wayne Dyer’s words about his condition. He is turning toward wellness with a new and energized focus. Because the manifestation was not an accident, but rather a culmination of energy flow (or energy blockage), he has a gift-like opportunity to examine how it all came to be. Turning to wellness will help him allow even more wellness. It works this way for everyone, famous or only locally famous.
So what if you are a deliberate creator and you create what can only be described as a total CRAP storm? In this reference I am talking about author and entrepreneur James Arthur Ray. You may remember James as one of the featured speakers in the movie “The Secret.” James did very well creating his own brand name associated with the Law of Attraction, and still has a loyal following who can separate the messenger from the message. He now also has some fierce detractors. He has been arrested for negligent homicide for a tragic incident that left three people dead during one of his retreats. This has caused quite a buzz in the LOA blogosphere, because he is a very visible person who has appeared on programs like Oprah in the name of Law of Attraction. It seems easier to blame James for his woes because he is a motivational speaker, and he makes a living calling others out on their blind spots and weaknesses. It seems like he should have seen this coming, and should have adjusted his thinking accordingly. But he, too, is only human and lives by the same Universal laws we all live with. He obviously didn’t predict the outcome here, and I believe there was no intent to kill anyone. But still, he attracted a XXXL-sized dose of contrast, and it is up to him to find the meaning behind the experience, and adjust accordingly. The Southern California staff from Gratitude Planet went together to see James speak this past fall, and we all had a funny feeling intuitively that we all shared after the seminar over drinks. We all felt an unease about his vibration, as if he was working really, really hard (too hard) to sell us his products. The word “allowing” didn’t make a whole lot of sense compared to the energy we felt that night from the stage. After the talk, he disappeared from the room without chatting with anyone, shaking hands, or answering questions. We were very confused…we wanted to believe he was perfect and living his message. I fully believe in his message, even if the messenger is struggling to hold it all together. When I heard that he attracted the mess he did, I can’t say I was surprised. We felt he was carrying and practicing a vibration that kept him from feeling free…and one that kept us from feeling his free and true self…and now he has manifested another challenge to his freedom, that of potential incarceration.
Interestingly, I read that Wayne Dyer is often the last person standing in a room where he gives a talk. He chats, listens, and gives freely of his time and energy for the people who are interested in his message. These two men, James and Wayne, have had two literally contrasting experiences…and each will continue to attract based on their most practiced vibration. Again, you can’t avoid things going “wrong” for you, but you CAN do your best to live your highest version of YOU. Be grateful, give freely, relax, and let your life be joyful as much as possible. Be appreciative for the famous people who help us learn about ourselves in public, so that we can be our imperfect selves in private. Send love to others, even when they fall short of your expectations. Let people chose what they will, and choose for yourself as well as you can. There is a perfect unfolding in the Universe, and we have an opportunity to align with it if we choose to…not for the sake of perfection, but for the sake of JOY! There are no mistakes. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

My first post on optimism was called “Optimism is a Choice” and can be read by clicking HERE if you haven’t already digested it. Optimism is one of the emotional range levels on the Vibrational/Emotional Scale, somewhere above the feelings of “hopefulness and contentment.” When you are in optimism you are in the vibrational flow of the Universe enough that the Law of Attraction can bring you evidence of the positive changes you have asked for in your experience. Optimism aligns you with allowing, and it is the gateway to the more powerful emotions of allowing such as Gratitude, Positive Expectation, Belief, Enthusiasm, Eagerness, Happiness, Passion, Joy, Knowledge, Empowerment, Freedom, Love, Bliss, and Appreciation. It is the “gate keeper” to the Vortex, where the Law of Attraction “assembles all cooperative relationships.” Reach for optimism, and you reach for your connection to Source Energy and your inspiration to action as communicated through your inner being. But how do you become an optimistic person? You simply practice doing it until it becomes a habit. Here are several tips to practice being optimistic today:
- Remember that few things on planet Earth are 100% sure. In any scientific study, or poll of people, you will have a split of opinions and findings, and a margin of error. For example, if a large percentage of people believe that they will get the flu this year, there are also some people that believe that they will NOT come down with the flu. This will play out in “reality” and some will and some won’t get the flu. Even if 90% of people get the flu, you can affirm at any time that you will be one of those people who will remain completely healthy. TIP SUMMARY: No one, not even a majority of people, can force me to believe anything that I do not choose to believe.
- You can always use your power of focus to direct your thoughts toward what you want at all times. Use affirming statements when you are driving, exercising, or drifting off to sleep. Some of my favorites are “I always find a parking space,” and “I have perfect timing in all things,” and “I always have enough to be happy,” and “Today is going to be a great day,” and “Things always work out for me,” and “I expect to see and draw to me happy and connected people today,” and “My dreams tonight will be fun, exciting, and inspiring.” TIP SUMMARY: You are in complete control of the thoughts you choose to think, and you can use affirmations to help you make optimism a habitual vibrational offering.
- You can help others see potential positive aspects in things. When you are listening to someone talk, you can find the best in what they are saying and reinforce it back to them. You can say “What I hear you saying is that your perfect job is on the way, and that you will be in the right place at the right time when your perfect job opens up. That’s awesome!” Even if they didn’t say it to you with those exact words, it is uplifting to decide to take their words with an optimistic slant. There are other times where you will have to insert an optimistic phrase in an otherwise pessimistic conversation. Be careful not to be annoying, but also let them know that you see it a little differently. You might say “ya, jobs are hard to find, so I understand your frustration. But I know you will get a great job soon. People thrive in all times, and I see you thriving in my mind’s eye. All is well.” You should feel a little softening in their resistance if your words are phrased carefully. TIP SUMMARY: You can practice your optimism every time you are face-to-face with others.
I love knowing that I can be one of the growing number of people that choose to see the world as opening, evolving, growing, connecting, loving, and allowing. I am elated that I get to choose if I connect or disconnect through my thinking. I am grateful that my interaction with others can be of great value to others. I so appreciate the times when I can be uplifted by the thinking and words of others. I love turning and giving my attention to things that feel good, and making the best out of the things that feel like contrast. I love striving to see my glass overflowing with wellbeing. I love living the results and manifestations that I am enjoying from thinking optimistically over time. And finally, I appreciate the opportunity to share these words with you today, and I am grateful for you, always. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

When I want my computer to support what I need it to do more easily, I open up the “preferences” pane and customize how it behaves. I love this feature. The only time I need it is when I am frustrated by something. For example, when I open a new word document and the font has to be changed, I can tell the computer to change it automatically for me the next time. I like that I have the option for my “preferences” on my computer. It makes my computing experience more fun and personalized. Did you know that you have your own set of “preferences” in your vibration too? Here’s how it works, in a nutshell: You live your life, some things go really well and some things don’t go quite as well. In both cases, you set your vibrational preferences based on your experience. Your “good” events help you ask for more of the same, and the events that feel bad help you ask for the opposite of the experience. If someone treats you badly, it’s like you open up the preferences pane and set your system to “I want people to treat me nicer.” When you run out of money, you set your preferences automatically to “I really want more money.” Life causes you to want, and you send out your preferences automatically to the Universe where it is heard by your inner being and Source energy.
You might wonder, then, why your experience doesn’t change every time you define your new preferences. When I set a new font on my computer, you might say, it stays changed until I change it again. This is true for your computer, and it is also true for you…sort of. You see, you are not an “on and off/black and white” device. You are a vibrational being that is always experiencing what the Law of Attraction is lining you up with. The LoA is responding to the most practiced thoughts you have been thinking. When you set a new preference for more money, you are setting more money into motion for you immediately. It’s like ordering from the internet. The deal is done as soon as you order it. But it takes time for the order to be picked, handled, put on a truck, and delivered to your door. For the Law of Attraction (or the US mail in this case) to bring it to you, you simply have to stick with your preferences and NOT cancel the order! Can you image how silly it would be to order, say, a pair of shoes on line, and then call to cancel it, and then reorder it, and then cancel it, and then reorder it…and then blame the company for not bringing it to you quickly? That is pretty much what you are doing sometimes if your preferences are not manifesting for you over time. Once you set a new preference, love the fact that you have set it into motion, and then get excited about how it will arrive. See it coming to you, and don’t entertain thoughts for very long that may cancel your “order.”
I love to define my preferences, and I love knowing that the Law of Attraction is the delivery system I can count on to bring it to me. I have preferences set for my job, my mate, my art, my car, my pets, my living spaces, my body, my friends, and the list goes on and on. It’s fun to get to decide on all of these. When something isn’t working anymore, I get to imagine it in a better light, and I get to enjoy the coming improvement. I get what I prefer as long as I don’t cancel the order. How FUN! What are you ordering from the Vibrational Universe today? What do you prefer your life to be like? Put that order in and have fun today while the order is processed. Before you know it it will be on your door step. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post! Lisa-GP

I would like to start a series of posts about using optimism to your advantage. Optimism is a key tool in harnessing the full power of the Law of Attraction, and it is nothing more than being picky about the thoughts you choose to think. Each person has a vibrational range, and this range is determined by the average feeling or vibrational content of the thoughts you have been thinking. If you haven’t read the GP post on Using the Emotional Scale, you may want to read it first by clicking HERE. You only have access to thoughts that are close to your vibrational range, so trying to feel optimism when you are feeling doubt is next to impossible to do. But I like optimism as a default “go to” vibration for several reasons. Even if you are in the vibrational range of doubt, your job is to find the best thought that you have vibrational access to. Instead of having to remember what emotional label is above doubt (in this case it is disappointment) I reach for “an optimistic thought” in my range, which might move me into a little higher vibration. I find this easier to do (at least for me) than trying to feel disappointment. I reach for “optimistic doubt” and I land in something that feels better than doubt. From there, I do the same thing again and find some thoughts that could be called “optimistic disappointment,” even if I don’t use that label.
I believe that optimism is especially powerful because it includes a reference to both sides of the issue: the glass is half full, or it is half empty. It helps you choose to focus on the side of the issue that tells a better story. It looks objectively at something and makes the most out of it. It is a launching pad for climbing the emotional scale on any issue. It recognizes the choices you have with two distinct paths, one that leads you closer to where you want to be, and one that leads you away from your desired emotional destination. It is the opposite of delusional; it is grounded and realistic while still being a reach on the vibrational scale. (Incidentally, you can make a good case for the concept of being delusional too, forgetting about “reality” completely and giving thought only to your goal. Many successful people call this “being focused.”)
Do you consider yourself to be an optimist? I know some people that pride themselves on being a self-described “devil’s advocate” and finding the fault in any idea, plan, or brainstorm. They feel that they play an important role in the conversation by bringing everyone down to a realistic level. But they actually do themselves a disservice by lowering their own emotional set point of vibration, which inevitably keeps them feeling worse and worse. The “important role” of pessimist keeps them from manifesting their desires and askings, and their Source will never take a pessimistic view of anything…so they live out of alignment with their own inner being.
Notice today what your thoughts and words feel like. Are they optimistic or pessimistic? Do your thoughts and words lead you to feelings that feel better or feelings that worse? Just notice. If you find that you inject part your day with pessimism, acknowledge that optimism is a choice, just as pessimism is also a choice. Each can be practiced just as easily as the other. In every moment you can choose to see the best, or the worst. You can reach for the best thought you can find, or you can reach for the worst thought you can find. It’s all up to you, and by paying attention you will be empowered to choose more consciously today. I truly believe you will do great things today, and I know you will feel better and better as the day goes on. May you find joy in every moment in this most amazing day! Chris-GP

There are many times when we feel “right” about an issue or topic, and we may feel a need to get others to agree with us about it. But haven’t you noticed that convincing another person to agree with you on something can, at times, be a difficult task. I have come to a point where I like to listen to others express their point of view, and I am honored when they are interested in hearing mine. I have come to accept that we are all different and that we will always have our own unique perception of the world, our place in it, and our goals as human beings. In fact, it is the variety and diversity that keeps the Universe expanding, and it’s what makes being here so exciting and worthwhile. Having agreement on a topic with others can feel really good too, especially when it births new ideas and creative angles to the issue at hand: thought is taken beyond that which it has been before…very cool.
But although it is wise to abandon worry about what others think about your ideas and opinions, it is in your very best interest to get Source Energy to agree with them. But Source is not a person, so how does that work, you ask? Source Energy is a never-ending stream of pure positive energy that can’t be stopped…only resisted. The part of you that exists in pure positive energy is the larger part of who you are. You are a spiritual being having a human experience. So when I refer to Source, I am really referring to YOU as you exist right now in pure positive energy. This larger part of you is communicating with you constantly through your dreams, intuitions, and inspirations. So what you really need to do is get your larger, Source energy-focused part of you to agree with your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Or do you?
Is all YOU, so this seems weird…but instead of trying to get your Source self to agree with you, you are WAY better off getting yourself to agree with Source’s opinion of you. If you have read some of the other GP posts about contrast, and how contrast helps your greater self expand and grow, you know that your Source self has already literally become everything you have wanted to be up to this point. That’s right…everything you have imagined for yourself that you can say right now that you want and have asked for has already manifested for the part of you that is Source Energy. It is the literal expanded version of YOU. That being said, you are best off trying to be in vibrational harmony with your expanded self so that you can allow it all to manifest on planet Earth through the Law of Attraction. But how do you know what Source thinks about you? How can you align with the views and opinions of Source Energy? Here are some of the things we KNOW about Source Energy:
- Source Energy loves you.
- Source Energy knows you are precious.
- Source Energy knows you are worthy.
- Source Energy sees you as the perfect expression of “youness.”
- Source Energy appreciates everything you are, everything you do, and everything you desire.
- Source Energy knows that you are in the perfect place, at the perfect time.
- Source Energy guides you to be the best you can be.
- Source Energy sees the best in others.
- Source Energy never puts you or anyone else down.
- Source Energy feeds your intuition and inspiration and urges you toward what it has already become.
- Source Energy doesn’t doubt you EVER, and uplifts your unique journey.
The list could go on for a very long time. If you don’t agree with Source, or if Source doesn’t agree with you…you will know right away because you will feel bad. But if, on the other hand, you and your Source are of one mind, you will feel joy, inspiration, love, gratitude, appreciation, and many other very connected feelings. When you live in the vibration of Source, you are, as Abraham-Hicks calls it…in the Vortex. The Vortex is the place where you and your Source are in vibrational alignment, and it is the place where all the magic of the Law of Attraction can manifest. Another way to say this is that when YOU and your larger YOU agree through your thoughts, feelings, and actions, you MUST become, right now, the best manifested version of YOU so far. (You know the YOU with great health, money, the relationship, the toys…or whatever you have allowed your Source to become through your vibrational asking.) No one may ever agree with you, but it is your number one job for YOU to agree with your Source! Let that be your goal today, to feel more and more agreement with your Source. Notice how you feel, and may you have a joyous, blissful, connected, loving and most amazing day! Chris-GP

I have been noticing some cool things recently about my own vibration. Everything seems to go in cycles and patterns of connection and contrast. I have been in a cycle of connection recently and I want to share a few moments of gratitude with you. This is my little list of things that have gone well. Maybe you can add to this list too:
- My dreams have felt especially restful and fun.
- I’ve been waking up with the feeling like it must be morning, but instead I have hours of decadent sleep left to enjoy.
- I have been eating well, and I feel light and strong.
- There has been little or no traffic on the freeways in the directions I have needed to travel.
- I have found a parking place on the first try every time at work.
- People seem to be especially cheerful and smiley lately.
- Watching Stephen Cobert made me laugh out loud this morning.
- I had a call for some extra work (unexpected income).
- The copy machine didn’t jam at all this week, and I made a LOT of copies.
- I got all my work done in the time I had to do it. I worked fast, but it all got done in perfect timing.
Can you think of ten things that went well for you recently? I know I could make a top ten things that didn‘t go well recently…but not at this moment. Right now I can’t think of one, which is exactly how I like it to be. Your point of attraction will equal your most practiced thoughts, and I love feeling good. Law of Attraction is bringing me more to match my top 10 list. The more I make lists like this, the more lists like this I will be inspired to make. I am grateful…I am appreciative…I am alive…I am living in Love. Be.Love, Hannya-GP

On my desk at work I used to have two file holders that were displayed prominently. One said “To Do Tomorrow,” and the other said “To Avoid Doing All Together.” My intention was to be humorous, and most people took it that way. Because I am my own boss, no one could tell me to take it off the desk…and I liked the idea of being able to put something in a perpetual holding pattern until I was ready to deal with it. But this funny story also illustrates a few things about Law of Attraction, connection to Source, and general happiness in your life. We all have things that we file in a vibrational “to do tomorrow” file, and today is a good day to look and see what you have put in there so far.
