This summer I did something I haven’t done in years. I was visiting family and there was a large puzzle on the kitchen table in the process of being completed. Working on a puzzle looks so boring, and I hardly consider it as an activity worth spending time on. But I was on vacation, and I really wanted to spend time with family members, so I started working on the puzzle with them. I have to say, it is way more fun to work on a puzzle than it is to watch someone else work on a puzzle.
I suppose that is a good analogy for life as well: it’s so much fun to be a thriving part of an expanding and fulfilling life than it is to watch someone else thriving and expanding. Luckily, we all get to choose how our life expands through the Law of Attraction, and if there is something we want, we need only give our full attention to it and allow it into our experience. There is another great parallel to life and a puzzle: if you do the whole puzzle in anticipation of how you will feel when you put the last piece in place, you will have a lot of hard work for a small payoff at the end. And most likely, like life, you probably won’t feel a huge thrill when the last piece is in place…it will feel like the next logical step, and you will probably be ready for another puzzle. The trick is enjoying the process of putting it together, and having lots of little thrills along the way to enjoy, knowing that the end is not the goal.
If you live your life like a beautiful puzzle, there will be some immediate advantages to you. Here are some that come to me this morning:
- You know you are making something beautiful.
- You have many triumphs along the way.
- Small roadblocks release into times of great progress, as you find a section of pieces that fit together.
- You know that there is order to it all, and you can relax into full awareness that all is well, and that everything you need is provided.
- You have a job: to find the next piece. Your job is not to finish it all with the next piece, nor could you if you tried to.
- With every piece added, the whole scene gets more and more beautiful.
- Problems (pieces not found) on one day get a new perspective on another day, and you “see” things you missed the previous day.
- Others can help you see things you were missing as well.
- You don’t try to force pieces that look close but don’t fit, but rather you relax and know that the right piece is out there to complete your perfect image.
- On some level you realize that it’s really just a game. It’s probably not your first or last puzzle, so there is no rush to complete it so that you can be deserving. You are exactly in the right place at the right time, right now…doing today’s puzzle.
I hope this makes sense to your broader knowing. Your life is like a beautiful, huge and amazing puzzle. Enjoy the progress you are making right now. Be Well, Marie-GP

If you are like me, there are times when you can’t seem to slow your life down long enough to stay centered for very long. I am doing this or that, running here or there, and taking care of things that need doing. But when I feel like I need to find my center, allow more wellbeing, and connect to Source Energy, there is no quicker and better way than to meditate for 5–10 minutes. Some people think that meditating means burning incense, chanting “Ohm,” and pondering your belly button for hours at a time; but I am talking about a much simpler process that I will outline here. Meditation really can be as simple as sitting quietly, walking deliberately, or breathing rhythmically. If you are new to meditation, try these steps and ass if you feel better in the process:
- Sit quietly in a chair or on the floor, and make yourself comfortable in an upright position. If you need to wear comfortable clothes, change into these clothes first. Have an alarm that you can program for 5, 10, or 15 minutes. I like my iPhone for this.
- Close your eyes and just start to notice everything around you. What do you hear? What do you smell? Take in information from your senses, but don’t judge any of it. Simple notice things.
- Once you are in the moment and noticing things, pick one thing to focus upon. It can be your breathing as you notice it going in and out. It can be a sound in the room, such as a fountain, or wind chime. It can be anything you choose.
- Once you start focusing on the sound of your choice, just allow yourself to exist in the moment with the sound. If your mind wanders…and it will…just bring your attention back to the focus of the sound, or your breath. There is nothing else to do. Just go with it.
- Stick with the meditation for 5–10 minutes and notice how you feel. You will probably get a flash of intuition, insight, or inspiration at some point. You may get the solution to a problem you have been worried about. You may even feel a renewed sense of purpose for the entire day.
- When the alarm goes off, open your eyes and take a few more breaths in and out. Be grateful for the time you spent opening your mind and senses. Feel your wellbeing increase. Notice that you probably feel a little better than when you started.
Meditation is a process that can be tailored to the individual, and there is no right and wrong way to do it. You can think a short mantra (several words that you repeat over and over again), or you can use affirming sentences. Everybody has their favorite methods. No matter how you do it, enjoy the process of convening with yourself with the intention of feeling better. If you do it every day, you will really notice a difference as soon as the first day you do it…and the more you do it the easier it gets. Let me know how you meditate, and especially let us all know the benefits you experience through your daily meditations. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

Hello My Beloved! I am writing to you today to help you remember just how much you are loved, and how much you mean to me. I know there are times that you wonder if I am paying attention to you. But rest assured that I am always with you, and I am always available to you. I flow through you in every second of every moment of every day, and while you can resist my flow, you can never cut it off completely. As soon as you relax and stop the struggle, I rush in with the full love and connection of Source to fill you, recharge you, and to assure you that all is well. I am the energy behind the Vortex, and when you are connected to me, you are plugged in to the energy that manages the Law of Attraction.
You did not come here to achieve anything in particular, or to work hard and struggle in pain until your physical death…rather you came here to to explore the diversity of expression on the Earth, to create new ideas and desires, and to experience the JOY of expansion that is uniquely available to you. When you connect to ME, you will think like ME, and you will feel about YOURSELF the way that I feel about you. Here’s a little bit of what I think about YOU:
- You are beautiful, lovable, and adorable.
- You are perfectly suited to be YOU, and that is your only job.
- You are a genius creator of your experience, and you are doing very well.
- You are loved, and you are perfect as you are.
- You are always guided, and I will never leave you.
- You are in the right place at the right time.
- You can’t get it wrong, because there is no end to your consciousness.
- You are not judged. Everything you do expands the knowledge of the Whole.
- You are in complete control of your experience, and what ever you desire, I will provide it.
- You are so free that I will let you feel anything you choose to feel…including disconnection.
- You are so loved that even in your disconnection, I will still flow to and through you.
Source Energy is what we all are, and there is no danger of being left behind. Feel me pulsing through you, and allow my energy to caress your body and consciousness into a better-feeling place. Love yourself as I love you, and let yourself expand and thrive in every moment. In Boundless Love and Appreciation, Source Energy

There are times that I can’t relax because I am trying so hard to accomplish something. I get the feeling that if I just try a little harder, or focus a little more I will finally be done doing the thing I am doing. This can certainly be true when the thing is paying the bills, or painting a house, or doing the dishes. But what about when you assign that frame of mind to larger aspects of your life, like attaining enlightenment, perfecting your tennis game, or becoming wealthy and prosperous? In these cases we often assign our happiness to a future time when we will be “done” and can then “arrive” in some new place or mindset.
Have you ever heard yourself say: “I’ll be happy when I can pay these bills’” or a similar statement. When you do this, you use Law of Attraction to your disadvantage. Remember that the Law of Attraction only responds to your vibration and not your words. So saying “I will put off my happiness until later in the future when this thing happens” keeps the thing from happening, and keeps you in an unhappy place.
We are all eternal beings, and there is no “there” to get to. The best way to have everything you want right now is to enjoy everything you have right now. There is a perfection in our imperfection…our journey can’t be completed…because it never ends. So don’t wish for the better day to come. Instead, look for the evidence that makes THIS day your best day so far.
Find as many excuses as you can to love your journey right now. Be grateful for everything you have today. No matter what you are doing today, find the perfection in the process. If you love your NOW, you will start ushering in amazing new NOWS as your future becomes the present over and over again. You will no longer long for your work to be over so you can relax into your wellbeing, because you will already be relaxing into the best part…and the ONLY part we have access to…the present. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post! Lisa -GP

Well Being is like a cork under the water. In order for your well being to flow to you, you don’t have to do very much. Imagine you are holding a cork (like a wine bottle top) and you are standing in the middle of a swimming pool just 4 feet deep. If you hold on to the cork and pull it under, it stays under the water. If you let it go for any reason, it bobs right to the top with no effort from you! The only way to keep you away from your well being is to hold your own “cork” under the water of your emotions. It actually requires effort to cut off the flow of Source Energy to your consciousness.
That is why whenever you sleep or meditate, you feel so much better. You stop the resistance. You let go. Your cork floats. It’s nice to know they you don’t need to do anything except let go and allow your well being to flow to you. And when you do this, Law of Attraction will help you flow even more toward what you want. So just let go, take a deep breath, and see if you can feel your cork float today. Be.Love, Hannya-GP

When you live your life, you come up against events and experiences that make you want something better for yourself. You may get a bill, or a parking ticket, or a pain in your leg, or a headache, or whatever: in every instance, you automatically ask the Universe to bring you a better circumstance as soon as possible. You don’t need to use words because your vibration does all the asking. Asking is somewhat automatic, then. Once you ask, the Universe and Source Energy responds to this request by expanding the part of you that is non-physical. In other words, you literally grow and become more every time you ask for something better through your vibration. Why, then, doesn’t your life show constant and continuous improvement all the time? Actually, it should. If it isn’t there can be only one reason…you are not vibrating in harmony with the new and expanded version of your greater self.
Vibrating with the new version of your expanded self sounds like a hard thing to do, but it really isn’t. In fact, we are hard-wired to match this new vibration, as long as we don’t get in our own way. The momentum of who you are will guide you toward allowing your wellbeing, but you have to be willing to stop focusing the way you did before you asked for the expansion. Another way to say this is, if you have a bill you can’t pay, you automatically want more money. Once you have asked for more money, you have to start thinking like a person with more money. As long as you think of yourself as a person who can’t meet their bills, you will remain a person who can’t pay their bills. Do you get it? You have to match who you have already become vibrationally, or things just change to the same things again and again.
I have a hard time keeping track of what I have asked for vibrationally. I’m not sure I know consciously what it all is anyway. So instead, I follow this simple tip for allowing my wellbeing: I try to live in the vibration of appreciation and gratitude. I look for things that I appreciate, and I give thanks for what I already have. When you practice appreciating your life, you ask Law of Attraction to bring you more things to love and enjoy. It is not necessary to identify what you are allowing to improve, but it is important that you stay out of your own vibrational way. When you are thankful and appreciative more of the time, you are a closer match to everything you have asked for. In this state, you are in the Vortex of creation, and what you have asked for vibrationally is busy appearing in your reality. Appreciation allows wellbeing, period.
If you want to start appreciating and being grateful more, start by making a short list in your mind right now. Take 10 seconds. I’ll do the same too…
- I appreciate the sunshine today.
- It’s summer, and I love the summer.
- I am grateful for the time to exercise my body today.
- I appreciate you focus I have with my mind, and the happiness I feel for others.
- I am grateful for the Law of Attraction. I get more of what I focus on.
That was easy. If you found it a little difficult, just do this for a minute a day. Watch how much easier it gets. Get out of your own way, stop worrying about the future, and enjoy this moment. What you have asked for will be in your reality in very little time. Enjoy how that will feel right now. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

Are there are times in your life when you feel you are exactly where you are supposed to be? Sure there are! These are great times because you feel no need to hurry away or fix something that is already done. The Universe is at rest and everything is in place. I like to call this feeling “Divine Order” because it seems like everything in creation has come together to put me in the right place at the right time. Divine Order is the basis of All That Is, and it is one of the rules of existence in this reality. Everything unfolds in its perfect order, and there are no mistakes.
But I must admit that there are times that I don’t feel like everything is working out correctly. Sometimes I feel like things don’t go my way regardless of how hard I try to make it so. Why does it seem like Divine Order fails me in those times? Well, we know that the Law of Attraction is always matching you up with more of your average vibration…and we know that what you vibrate and what you get is always a perfect match. So the reason that Divine Order sometimes seems to be out of order stems from our own inability to monitor what we are vibrating outward through our thoughts, feelings, and actions. As you become more and more aware of how you feel, you will observe the connection of how you feel to the results you get in your experience. The order of events and the experiences you attract will always be a match to your vibration.
I refer to Divine Order frequently to help me remember to relax, and also to help me stay optimistic and to expect the best. If I am behind a slow driver, I think about how I am being held back a bit to arrive at my destination at exactly the right time. When I get up, I think about how no matter how fast or slow I shower and dress, I will be in alignment with Divine Order and in the right place at the right time. When I approach my work parking lot, I tell myself that I always get a parking spot, and that my timing is perfectly coordinated with Divine Order to make a space appear as I arrive. It almost always does appear. And when it doesn’t, I move on to the next lot knowing that once again, things are in their perfect order. I expect something else to go my way because of the experience.
Do you believe in Divine Order? Do you believe that you are guided to be in the right place at the right time? I think it is more fun to believe in this concept than it is to worry about controlling things that you can’t control. If you accept the workings of Divine Order, you can relax more, and you can take in the joys of life more fully. Let yourself feel the perfection of your life today. Every moment is your perfect arrival into the present. Live and love today knowing that you are supported by Divine Order. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

Everything in this world comes and goes, and we all have debts at some point in our lives that need to be paid back. When you owe someone something, you have a responsibility to settle the debt. This makes me think about an excellent movie called “Pay It Forward” that came out in 2000 starring Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt, and Haley Joel Osment. In this movie the idea of “paying forward” came into the mainstream. The idea is that if you do something for someone, instead of asking them to pay you back, you can ask them to pay it forward instead. What this means is that they would look for an opportunity to do the same good deed that you did, except to someone else. Your “payback” and good energy become the start of another good deed that, hopefully, expands and expands outward. This approach has some very nice benefits for you as a deliberate creator of your experience.
Remember that the Law of Attraction matches you up with more of whatever you presently have as measured by your thoughts, feelings, and actions. So to change your life in a real and meaningful way, you first need to change your thinking and actions, and also reach for the best feelings you have access to. When you care about how you feel, and when you take inspired action, your connection to Source Energy becomes stronger, and you start attracting happiness and joy into your experience more and more of the time. As a connected being you now have an ability to remain in the Vortex of connection, and also to magnify and expand that connection in every direction of your life. You can “give away” your happiness everywhere you go.
When you are connected to who you are and are feeling good, you will uplift others with whom you come into contact. Law of Attraction will line you up with people who are ready to feel better, and you will be of great value to their experience. On the other hand, when you are not connected and not in line with who you really are, you can only bring out the same in others. Law of Attraction will put you face-to-face with other people who are struggling just like you are, and you will not be able to uplift in as powerful a way.
It is much more fun to notice your thoughts, feelings, and actions and make the best of where you are. Reach for feelings of relief, and follow the best thoughts that come to you. Once you feel good, picture your love and joy radiating out in all directions toward everything in the Universe. Picture Law of Attraction working like mad by inspiring others like yourself to be in certain places at certain times, all being guided to cross your path today. Make an intention to uplift these people when you see them, not by doing anything in particular, but just by being a joyful, connected, and loving person. Let the magic of each moment unfold perfectly. If you intend to attract these people to you, they will appear in your experience today. Picture your happiness and connection as a gift that you receive from Source Energy, and then pay it forward…all day, every day! Source will refill your cup every time you ask it to, and then you will have something to give away to others. Try this today and see if it makes your day go better. Receive, be grateful, and then give freely to others. It’s one of the secrets to living a rich and happy life. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

Exercise is a necessary ingredient to a healthy lifestyle, and making your exercise fun is a key component to doing it over the long term. When exercise is fun, fitness is easy. Haven’t you noticed that the things you actually like to do are always easy to do, and the things you dread the most are almost impossible to bear? I totally understand the mindset that pre-paves both of these experiences, yet it can be difficult to break out of old habits of thought to create and sustain a new vibration around exercise and fitness. Mark Twain (1835-1910) said that “A habit cannot be tossed out the window; it must be coaxed down the stairs a step at a time.” Sometimes all we need is a little “get up and go” (combined with fun) to change our habits a little at a time. Here is what I suggest: Take a Gratitude and Connection Walk. When I walk, I make it more fun by using my imagination, thoughts, and deliberate focus to feel better. Feeling better equals fun to me, and you probably feel much the same way.
Here’s how it works. Look at something…anything…that catches your attention. It can be a house in the neighborhood you are walking through, or a car, or a bird, or a trash can…anything you observe in your immediate environment.Simply say to yourself “I see a house…and I like its (fill in the blank).” So for example, someone might say, “I see a car, and I appreciate its deep blue paint job.” If you see something and you can’t think of anything to be grateful or appreciative about concerning it, find the best thought you have access to about it. This might sound something like “I see a dented car, and I appreciate that it’s not mine!” It’s OK if you just chuckle at yourself; but you did well finding something that felt true, and something that was the best thought you could think in the moment. The next thing you see, if you stick to reaching for gratitude and appreciation, will probably provide better things to like. Look for them, find them, and say them. Before long, the vibration within you will start to raise and expand to a very connected and blissful place.
One word of caution, however. This game can be played in the opposite direction, where you put down, make fun of, or become critical of the things you see. This will expand the vibrational range downward to thoughts that feel worse and worse the more you think them. The beauty is that you get to choose the direction that your thoughts flow, and when you feel better, everything looks, tastes, feels, and smells better. Your fifteen-minute walk that used to feel like two hours will feel more like fifteen minutes, and the fun you have raising your vibration will become the immediate payoff for your exercise. Instead of thinking “I really should take a walk today” you will begin to crave your Gratitude and Connection Time instead. Go ahead and get out today, alone or with a few close friends, and enjoy being deliberate about your joy! Be.Love, Hannya-GP

The Law of Attraction states that two vibrations that are alike are drawn together. You are a vibrational magnet that calls more of the same unto yourself. Because of this, it has been stated that you can be, do, or have anything you want. Anything is possible as long as you become a match to whatever it is that you want. Sounds good in theory, but what if I want to be an astronaut? What is the chance that a 40-something guy who teaches for a living will suddenly become a space traveler? Quite unlikely. So is the premise that you can be, do, or have anything flawed and untrue? No. It’s true, but some clarification needs to be made.
I may not be able to be an astronaut in the strictest sense, because I wouldn’t be able to start over and become a fighter pilot, or be in the right place to study and train at NASA, and I wouldn’t be chosen to go on a mission over the many other well-trained men and women ready to serve in that capacity right now. But the real thing working against this dream is the lack of vibration I have around it. Up to this point, I never wanted to be an astronaut, so I haven’t built up much energy to attract people and circumstances to me through Law of Attraction. What I have attracted is a match to what I have asked for so far, and stopping on a dime and changing my vibration to something totally different is possible, but unlikely. So the first clarification is that I CAN’T be, do, or have anything…but rather I have to want it first, and then I can be, do, or have anything I really want. If you want it, it is possible. If you can become a match to anything, it must become your reality.
OK, you say, but what if today you decided you really, really wanted to go to space? Then what? Is it possible? Yes, if I want it, it is possible. But how? First, I would start focusing only on thoughts that aligned with this goal. I would pay attention to how I feel when I think these thoughts. I would be sure to feel good about the goal, and not sabotage my vibration with doubt. Then I would look for any evidence that the Universe was providing for progress toward my goal. Perhaps I would meet people in the space industry who want to talk to me about the goal, or I would find myself watching TV shows about the topic. Every bit of evidence would be followed up by more optimistic thinking around the goal. “This is possible for me, and I am going to space,” I might say frequently. Law of Attraction would then begin to snowball circumstances and events to bring me greater and greater evidence of the goal. I might get a chance to go to a space camp or meet someone who is starting a company to send civilians into space. If I really followed this with my focus and desire, and if I didn’t contradict my own desires with out-of-the-Vortex thinking, then it would be possible for me to orbit the Earth in a spacecraft. I can do it.
Many people don’t think this is possible because they say they want things that they aren’t willing to pursue vibrationally. I can’t be an astronaut unless I have a strong desire to be one. You can’t lose weight unless you want to lose it enough to attract a “thin vibration,” which means focusing on thin and being single-minded and optimistic about thin. You can be, do, or have anything you want. So what do YOU really want? Are you willing to attract it unto you? If so, let yourself feel the essence of the vibration right now. If you want thin, reach for a feeling of thin right now. If you want prosperity, reach for a feeling of richness right now. If you want health, reach for a feeling of wellness right now. If you want love, reach for a feeling of joy right now. You attract everything to you, and your ability to focus on what you really want determines your success…always. Enjoy this most amazing day!

If you have wanted something for a while, you might begin to feel frustrated more and more the longer it takes to materialize in your experience. You may think that you need to work harder, or that you need to do something big to make your desires manifest. But you are not responsible for the work that the Universe does on your behalf, and you don’t need to manage the Law of Attraction to make it work for you either. Here’s an illustration to help clarify this.
Pretend that life is like a giant assembly line, and that you are a single worker on that assembly line. Your job is to add your energy and expertise at exactly the right time, and with all the care, quality, and craftsmanship you can. You are not responsible for placing the order, or keeping the line running, or adding other pieces, or even worrying about the final product. Your job is to add your unique piece as masterfully as you can.
When life causes you to want something, as you desire it a signal is sent to the Universe, and an order is placed with Source Energy on your behalf for a physical manifestation. While you are the “asker” for the new condition (money, health, a new job, more friends, or whatever) you don’t need to spend one second worrying if the Universe got the order. Once it is placed, it is placed. Now your focus can be to recognize when your “product” comes by on the assembly line, and to add your quality and craftsmanship to the product. In the case of more money, you would live your day looking for evidence of more money coming to you.
Let’s say you are buying something and the clerk informs you at the checkout that she will be taking an extra 20% the total; picture your prosperity coming before you on that vibrational assembly line. What are you going to do as it goes by? If you say something to yourself that feels like “the Universe is always looking out for me, and is bringing me more money all the time,” it is as if you polished the desire and put gold trim around it. Then off it goes, toward some finished product you will see shortly. But your job is done until you see the next piece of evidence of your prosperity. Look for it, and you will see it again. Add another detail of vibrational quality as it comes by again.
If you decide instead to say something to yourself that feels like “I shouldn’t be spending this money because I never have enough. Another 20% off what I don’t have is not good for my prosperity,” then it is like taking a baseball bat and knocking the product right off the assembly line belt as it goes by. Instead, always think about the value you can give the thought, and do your best to make the quality of the thought increase as it travels by on your vibrational conveyor belt. You are not the factory, the Universe is. You are not the conveyor belt, time and space is. You are not in charge of assembling the pieces before they get to you, Law of Attraction is. Do YOUR job today, which is to add craftsmanship and quality to the piece that is before you right now. Relax and let the rest of the work be done by Source Energy. If you do this you will be amazed at the end result: what you want will be in your experience more and more of the time. I think it is actually very freeing to know I don’t need to do it all, and that I have a specific and manageable job. I give thanks, gratitude, and appreciation for my specific job and purpose today. Do your job proudly and joyfully today, and let the pieces come together naturally and with love. Enjoy this most amazing day. Chris-GP

If you really think about it, all we ever have is right now. The past is always past, and the future is the future, and we only ever meet them in the present. Yet how many times do we allow the past or the future to keep us from fully enjoying what is happening right now? I would have to admit that I can be better at this more of the time. Eckhart Tolle’s book “The Power of Now” is a great read about this subject, and he suggests that not being present (or in the now) is a chronic problem in the minds of many people in society today. (See a link to his website under “Other Cool Sites” on the GP sidebar). He recommends that we take some time each day to think about nothing except what is happening right now, and then let your mind be free of both past and future for that time. What we discover is that this can be done through meditation, exercise, or any other activity where we focus completely on the present moment to the exclusion of the past and future. What happens is an amazing transformation where your worries evaporate, your vibration raises, and you feel better. Tolle asks his readers: “What problem do you have right now?” Any answer referencing the past or future is revealed as a false problem. He asks again, “What problem do you have right now?” As you realize that you will react in the now if a problem does arise, and that in the moment you will know what to do, then you can accept fully that, indeed, there is really no problem right now.
Once you realize that you have no real problems right now, you can relax into your wellbeing more, and allow yourself to feel better and better. Feeling better is the first step to allowing Source Energy to flow through you, and once you are connected to Source, all good things will flow easily to you. Do your best to live in the Now today. Live, breathe, move, feel, and be grateful right Now. Enter the Vortex right Now. Enjoy the power of Now, and the magic of Now. Imagine having everything you want right NOW. Feel the exhilaration of how it feels to be right where you want to be, which is always in the Now. Enjoy this most amazing day…right NOW! Chris-GP

There are moments when I can’t find joy in what I am doing. When this happens, I try to notice and change something. Most often when this happens, the cause of my emotional state is that I am not living in the present moment. My mind is preoccupied with something I am trying to create, or my thoughts are on some problem that I can’t seem to shake. I then realize that I am like a prisoner to my own thoughts, and that these thoughts are keeping me from my joy and connection to the Universe. When this happened recently, I was using my thinking mind to imagine a solution to a problem. Normally, this is a good thing…to become one with the vibration of a solution. But by not being present in the moment, I was practicing the vibration of feeling limited, unable to break free of the problem. So how did I break free? Here’s how…
I thought about what I wanted achieve through solving the problem, and I summed it all up in a single word: Freedom. I wanted a solution so that I could feel more freedom in every part of my vibration. So instead of spending my energy and focus trying to solve the “issue,” I instead turned my inner focus to the feeling of freedom. I started by letting go of having to be in control of the problem, and I just began to breathe and allow my thoughts to settle. I relaxed my face and jaw, and imagined myself in complete freedom. I was free to be, do, or have anything I could imagine, and I was unlimited by people or circumstances. I was free from my past and unlimited by my future. I came to realize that the only thing I really wanted was the feeling of freedom, and in a relatively short amount of time I was able to experience a feeling of freedom. What a joy to realize that the feeling of freedom was available to me even before I solved my “problem.” In fact, now the problem seemed almost insignificant to the joy I was feeling amidst my new-found inner freedom. If I can do it, so can you!
If there is something you want, ask yourself why you want it. How will you feel when you get it? Can you break free and start feeling that way right now? If so, you have access to the end goal in this moment, and you also have a way to help the Law of Attraction manifest the actual solution. By aligning with the feeling of having achieved something first, you are suddenly a powerful match to the new condition. If you are a match to the feeling of the solution, it must flood into your reality as a “real” experience. If you want more money, reach for feelings of abundance and prosperity. If you want a new love in your life, feel love for yourself and others right now. If you want better health, try to reach for thoughts that feel like wellness. You always get more of what you focus upon, and the end goal you are reaching for can almost always be expressed in an emotion or feeling that you have access to right NOW! What do you need to change to feel totally free in this moment? You don’t have to change your circumstances…but you do need to change your focus. Try it, and may you feel better and better. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

It’s Memorial Day in the United States, and I just love an extra day to just remember the things that I am grateful for. It makes me think of the song “Let There Be Peace On Earth” because of the message it contains: “Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with me.” It makes sense that we should be like the thing we want, because that’s how the Law of Attraction lines you up with things. Law of Attraction draws things to you by sensing your vibration and matching it with other thoughts, feelings, and experiences that are similar. And as we have been discussing in others posts on GP, giving your attention to something is all you have to do to start vibrating like it. You are what you think, and what you interact with and focus on becomes your point of attraction…meaning that the Universe is bringing you more and more of it constantly. The phrase “and let it begin with me” is very wise advice for deliberate creators because it puts the emphasis right where it belongs: on you!
When you want to attract something to you, you need to vibrate and become one with it first. In practical terms, if you want more money and prosperity, you must first begin to feel like you have more money and prosperity. If you want an intimate relationship with a new person, you have to feel like the person is already there. If you want peace for the Earth, you must first make peace with yourself and the people in your immediate vicinity.
Try this today: make a list of several words that you think best describe what you want to see in others, or in the world. Only you know the best words for you today, but some of these might include: honest people, caring friends, peaceful world, loving family, prosperous economy, thriving health, etc.. Choose one and decide that you are going to let this greater desire begin with YOU! Become quiet, breathe calmly and deeply, and “see” yourself having achieved this greater desire. Feel how you would feel if it were already yours to have. Imagine others interacting with you and commenting on this thing you now have, and how great you look and feel having achieved it. Project this feeling outward toward everything in the Universe. Expand into the knowing that you were able to align with these desires easily, and that you can do it again…easily…on any subject you choose. Give thanks and end the visualization with the knowledge that you have literally created a point of attraction that will create magic in your day. You are now ready to line up with evidence of your alignment through perfect timing, “chance” encounters, and new and exciting developments in all areas of your life. Stick to one or two desires for two to four weeks, and just enjoy the process of already having what you want to see in the world. Say to yourself, “Let there be _____ on Earth, and let it be me, breathe me, and live through me right now.” Try it and let us know how it worked for you. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519), the great Italian painter, sculpter, architect, engineer, and scientist was once quoted as saying: “Art is never finished, only abandoned.” As an artist, I totally resonate with his words, and I well know the feeling of incompleteness. When you pour your creativity into a project, and when you have a blissful and focused creative outlet, there is no end to the expression you can create. You find more things to change or make better, and even when an artwork is good, you always feel like a few more brush strokes, or a few more color combinations will make it perfect. But it never is perfect. It is only an expression, perfect in its imperfection. It is a living expression of itself, and nothing more.
Aren’t we all masterpieces in the making? Can’t the words I have typed actually describe a human life? We may work our whole life to become something finished, perfected, or complete, but we will never reach these states of being. Once we feel the perfection of a moment, another moment rushes in to take its place, reminding us that there is more, and more, and more to experience. We desire, and then we achieve, and then we desire again. The eternal nature of living in this Universe is both a gift and a curse. Until you make peace with where you are, you will always want something you don’t have. Yet you will never have everything you want…so you need to love where you are. It’s a complex paradox.
You will never be finished, but you will abandon your body someday. Don’t try to perfect your life, but instead experience it as a masterpiece in the making. Love the lines, the colors, the smudges, and the textures. Play in the clay, and express your energy through the art of abundant and joyful living. Be the most meaningful expression of YOU today. There is no greater art than to be who you truly are, incomplete yet eternal, and expressing your unique expression. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post! Lisa-GP

I enjoyed Lisa’s post yesterday about Lao Tzu and his advice to do nothing. Doing nothing is a big part of allowing everything. There are many other spiritual teachers that guide you toward the state of just “Being” as well. When you are in a peaceful and calm state of mind, a place where you are one with the thoughts of the Universe, you are truly one with everything. In fact, when you can get to this mental state, you are in an allowing place where the Law of Attraction can work magic in your life. It is a great space where everything you are asking for, both with your words and with your vibrations, can easily flow to you in a series of perfect manifestations. It is a magical state. The only question left to ask is: “why don’t I find myself in this state of mind more often than I do?” The answer is intimately connected to this question: “What are you doing that keeps you from entering this state more often?” You see, you are the only one who can keep you away from your natural state of just being. When you stop resisting the flow of energy that the Universe is sending to you, you automatically connect to your well being. So it’s not so much about trying to do anything. It’s more about letting go of the things you do that keep it all from you. For example, you may do your best to meditate everyday. But when you meditate, do you let go of the chatter of your brain and just trust in the magic of the moment? Are you afraid to let go because you might “waste” the time that you could be using to solve the problems of your day? To just BE, you must BELIEVE that all is well, and you must TRUST that you are receiving powerfully through your NOT doing.
To enter Being, you must Believe that your work is done for the moment. You must allow your fear to melt into knowing. You must free yourself from worrying about the details and affirm that Law of Attraction will manage the details for you. When you try to Be without believing, you will doubt yourself, you will be frustrated that more is not coming to you sooner, and you will feel very alone and apart from Source Energy. So today, relax and believe that all is well, because it really is! Let yourself find peace in this moment, right now. You can be excited for what may come in the next moment, but believe in this sacred space and let now be the best moment so far. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

Someday I will be happy. Someday I will have enough money. Someday I will have my soulmate in my bed. Someday I will have the health I desire. Someday I will have time to just “be.” Someday….
Have you ever said or thought these kinds of thoughts? We all have at some point. They can also be shrouded in “As soon as I finish this, I will focus on that” and other future-focused statements. While I know there is a time and a place for everything, and I know that you can’t rush progress, I also know that NOW is all we ever have. People who wait for tomorrow can’t fully enjoy today, and tomorrow will never come because it will always become today first. Everything you want will manifest in the present, and never in the future or the past. In fact, Law of Attraction responds to your vibrational offering on everything, so if you think something is in the future, it cannot manifest in your present. So that is why it seems like some things are difficult to attract to you…it’s partly because you don’t feel them in your experience today…right NOW!
OK, so how do you feel things right now that haven’t even materialized yet? You do it with the power of your conscious focus. It’s like a game, but it has to be done with complete release of what is so that the vibration of what you want can be experienced right now. Let me give you an example. Let’s say you would like more prosperity in your life. Someday, you say, I will not have to worry about money ever again. This focus reinforces that you don’t have it today, so your vibrational offering being matched by Law of Attraction is “today I have no money.” So your situation can’t change very much no matter how hard you work to change it. Law of Attraction just piles on with what ever you offer through your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Instead, use the power of your thoughts, feelings, and actions to experience your flowing prosperity right now. Sit quietly and close your eyes. See yourself doing something you would do if you had the money today. What would it be? Who would you talk to? What would you wear? What would you drive? What would be your goal for the day, now that your prosperity is flowing so very strongly? Imagine all of this coming together in this moment. Reach for the best feeling you can as you do this. Do you feel the joy of having the prosperity? Is there fun in the allowing of the images? See if you can relax and allow fun to be your intention as you focus. Bask in this experience and milk it for all you can.
For the time that you focused, imagined, and enjoyed having your prosperity right now, Law of Attraction shifted people, events, and circumstances to direct you toward a “real” manifestation of all that you imagined. The world changed (the real world) to match your vibration of prosperity. Once you begin to master this process, you will be able to move through any day with the focus on the things you want to create, experiencing them with joy and gratitude. Even as you see things unwanted in the world, you will be able to feel the presence of the wanted things more and more. You will live NOW as if you have the things you want, and the time needed for creating wanted things will decrease greatly. Your life will become a blissful and appreciative journey of loving focus and connection, and you will solve little problems before they become big problems. In short, you will want and desire things, and then enjoy having them in your mind and vibrational offering, and then you will see the new conditions manifest in very little time. You will be a deliberate creator of the life you want and deserve. Everything you want will be available to you. You will be doing what you came here to do on planet Earth, and you will be an inspiration to others too. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post! Lisa-GP

Law of Attraction is an interesting Law. It expands and intensifies what you already have and brings you more of the same thing. It can’t second guess your vibration and change it for you. Why then, you might ask, does anything ever change? The answer is that everything constantly changes, and this is the nature of our system of existence. But if your thoughts, feelings, and actions don’t change in any significant way over time, your life changes over and over again to the same thing. So the only way to change your life is to change your thoughts, feelings, and actions (your vibrational signal) little by little until you see evidence of your life changing for the better. It’s like a cosmic science experiment, and here’s why…
In a science experiment, you have variables that are controlled so that you can see the effect of a single manipulation of one of the variables. This is how scientists can sometimes predict things with close to 100% accuracy. Law of Attraction responds to the variables of your vibration through the way you think, act, and feel, and then gives you the result of your vibrational experiment: your NOW! Whatever you are living right now is the sum total of the data you have fed into the system that creates what is real for you. If you want a different outcome to the experiment called “your life,” then you have to start feeding in new data to change the variables of your experiment. It’s really THAT easy! But how do you do this?
I have heard it said that the definition of “insanity” is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result. If your life is changing to the same thing over and over again, you probably have extended moments where you feel overwhelmed, angry, insecure, or frustrated. At best you feel bored and long for your life to be better in all ways. Because you have to change your variables first, simply start looking for opportunities to mix it up a little. If you always brush your teeth before you shower, today try showering before you brush your teeth. If you normally listen to or watch the news while you eat breakfast, listen to music instead, or listen to a positive-focused audio book. If you always eat the same breakfast, try a new kind of nutritious meal to start your day. If you hear yourself putting yourself or anyone down in your thoughts or words, see if you can rephrase the statements to feel just a little more uplifting, and hence better. Play with the variables and stick with it for several weeks. This is long enough to yield a new outcome in your experiment. If you like the new emerging outcomes (more money, a better job, more friends, or improved health, or whatever you have been wanting) then keep doing what you have been doing while you continue to the variables. The experiment never ends, and it will always be approaching what you would consider to be a perfect end. Yet, no matter how perfect your experiment ends, you will always want the next thing, and the next. You will always be refining and advancing toward an unachievable perfection. And that’s what makes life on planet Earth so much FUN! Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

I just want to share a few thoughts about all the gifts we have in our lives right now. Today you will have conversations to share, encounters with others, problems to solve, and things to observe. As you move through your day, look to see if you can find the “silver lining” in each moment. The silver lining is the gift that is hidden (or not so hidden) in each event that happens to you, happens near you, or happens because of you. Some people might believe that there is no greater meaning in any of these events, yet science is showing more and more that there is an inter-connectivity in the Universe that we are only just beginning to study and understand. I truly believe that you can feel this connected nature of reality in your life right now…in this moment. You just have to be curious, attentive, and care about how you feel. Remember that the Law of Attraction responds to the average practiced vibration that you have going on, and that feeling better is your most important task. Looking for gifts helps you stay on track by helping you notice how you feel, and then by prompting you to make the best of any given experience.
So what do I mean when I say to look for the gifts inherent in everything that happens to you, happens near you, or happens because of you? What I literally mean is that you can take a moment to reflect upon your present moment, and in the process find a positive reason that you drew the experience to you through Law of Attraction. For example, if someone on the street stops and gives you a compliment for some random thing, make a statement about the gift you received. Maybe you could say or think “people find me open and approachable. I just received the gift of this person’s positive frame of reference. Thank you!” Or maybe you observe children playing, and you see them laughing and cooperating through a game on the playground. This too is a gift, but what is the gift? You intuition will splash inspiration to you if you pause and open to it. You may be inspired to say or think “children live in tremendous connection and they live in their wellbeing most of the time. My gift here is to remember that I was a child, that I am a child of Source Energy, and that I have the same access to love, bliss, and connection as those children do. I open and receive these gifts right now.” Feel your vibration raise a little bit, and bask in the reality of feeling better on account of this tremendous gift you have received. Perhaps you are taking the trash out one morning, and you see some litter that has blown near your home, or into your neighbor’s property. You decide to pick up the trash on your way to the curb and you are faced with a choice. Do you think about the gift, or do you go in another direction? You know what I want you to do! You have an opportunity to receive in ever moment. So what does picking up trash have to do with receiving a gift? Then you get the message. You say or think “I am a person who lives in a clean and tidy environment. I want more than ever to have pristine vistas that I get to enjoy. I love that I get to help this be so, and I expect the Universe to expand this vibration more and more for me. I see the world as clean and healthy. Thank you for this gift that helped me clarify this desire even more powerfully.”
Life is a gift that keeps on giving. Are you ready to receive these gifts? They will keep coming regardless of your ability to perceive them, so why not get into the receiving mode? Why not become more open to the magic in the Universe? Why not hone your ability to direct your thoughts and focus so that you can harness the Law of Attraction to your greatest advantage? Why wait to be happy, connected, and expanded? Let every day of your life be like a cosmic birthday party thrown in your honor. You deserve it. Be.Love, Hannya-GP

May 8, 2010
I consider myself to be an optimist. Being an optimist means seeing the best in every situation, sometimes in spite of the evidence against such optimism. And being an optimist gives you the best chance of attracting everything you want into your life. Are you an optimist? Is your glass half full, or half empty? You probably know which you are, and because you are reading this page, you are either a “glass half full” type, or are hoping to find out how to be one. I don’t settle for half full, and instead I strive to be a 3/4-full glass person when I can be. You can do it too.
Practicing being grateful for a glass half full is a necessary first step to allowing everything you want to flow to you through Law of Attraction. However, what happens when your glass is clearly less than half full? Is that the time to stop trying, be negative, and complain that your glass is almost empty? The answer, of course, is no. When your glass is less than half full, it’s time to start talking (or thinking) about how much you like the glass. Turn to the best aspects you can see in your immediate environment. Appreciate the container that holds the rest of the liquid, and for that matter, appreciate the liquid regardless of how much you see in the glass. When your glass is almost empty, make the best of it. Law of Attraction can’t tell the difference between your thoughts (and vibrations) and any hard and fast “reality.” Law of Attraction brings you what you focus upon, even if it is not “real.” A glass less than half full has many qualities worth giving your full and grateful attention, if you’ll just be easy and play the appreciation game.
Play up what feels good, ignore the things that feel bad, and tell your story the way you want it to be. That way, the glass is not even a significant part of your vibration. You will soon stop depending on the glass, and instead you focus on your own wellness, prosperity, and allowing. Law of Attraction will then bring you many over-flowing glasses. Enjoy the process today and decide to make the best of every thought and situation. Have fun while you learn to practice the Art of Optimism! Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

I have enjoyed the recent posts about prosperity here on Gratitude Planet, and I want to share a list of things that I consider to be my personal riches. To be rich and prosperous, first you have to feel rich and prosperous. But if you don’t feel rich and prosperous, you can’t attract more of it through Law of Attraction. Law of Attraction can only bring you more of whatever you are vibrating right now. But how can you feel like a million dollars before you have a million dollars? You start small and work your way out from there. I am able to feel like a million by thinking of the millions of reasons I have to be happy, connected, grateful, and appreciative in this moment. Here is my short list. Make your own today, on paper or in your mind. Let yourself attract expanded abundance into your life by loving the riches you already have! Be.Love, Hannya-GP
- I can pay my bills.
- My car starts every day
- My family loves and supports me.
- The sun warms my face and feeds me vitamin D through my skin.
- My coffee is warm, rich, and satisfying.
- The house is quiet and serene, and I have peace in my vibration.
- I have clothes to wear that enhance my self-image.
- I slept very well last night.
- My job is a perfect mix of focus and fun.
- Summer is coming soon.
- The economy is improving and expanding again.
- My dogs never stop loving me.
- I get to write contributions on Gratitude Planet, which feels good.
- My body is flexible and I feel good in it.
- I meditate with ease.
- I am able to give time, money and talents away in ever-increasing amounts.
- I know about the Vibrational Scale, so I know I never need to be stuck in any one emotion very long.
- I am optimistic about my expanding abundance.
- I have the internet and all the information available through it.
- I have friends who appreciate me.
- I have music on my iPod that I love listening to.
- I have a mind that I can use to focus and attract absolutely anything I can desire.

April 27, 2010
Reading Gratitude Planet yesterday really inspired me. It helped me remember that giving and receiving are part of the natural order of life, and that to be in the flow means knowing how to give freely and also how to receive freely. If you block this Universal flow, you increase vibrations of lack, stagnation, illness, poverty, and the like. If you can learn to dance with the “in and out” pulsations of this natural energy, you increase your love, wellness, prosperity, expansion, joy, gratitude, and appreciation. Life gets better and better as you realize that the more you trust and give, the more you will receive…your cup can’t be emptied because the Universe fills it up in proportion to what you have freely given. You become prosperous through your generosity. Remember too that receiving is just as important to the flow. Accept the gifts that flow to you. To only give is just as ineffective as only receiving: an imbalance is created. Here are my ten tips for increasing your giving and receiving today. I hope you like them, and I hope they make you feel a little better when you recall and live them. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post! Lisa-GP
- When cashing out at a store, if there is a “Take a penny, leave a penny” tray, do so, even if you aren’t paying with cash. If you have a penny in your pocket, donate it to the tray. Tell yourself “I always have plenty of money.”
- When entering a building, offer to hold a door open for one or several people. Smile and nod and “play doorman” (or door person). Give the gift of service for 20 seconds. When someone opens a door for you, move right through and thank them. Tell yourself “I always have plenty of time to play with others.”
- When meeting someone for the first time, or even someone you know well, give them an honest compliment right away. Maybe say “wow, I love your shoes,” or “you seem to be in a great mood today.” This giving costs nothing, but is completely valuable and appreciated. Tell yourself “I give compliments easily. I see the best in others.”
- When eating out, tip more if you get amazing service. If your waiter or waitress is really fun and connected, and if you feel you got exceptional service, up your standard tip. If your default tip, regardless of service, is 15%, then give 20% or even 25% for amazing service. Tell yourself “I give and I receive freely. I have received amazing service, and I give back in joy right now. I have plenty of money.”
- If you have a business, give yourself the gift of meditation and focus on the expansion of the business. See it growing and serving others in more and more powerful ways. Take time to be quiet with yourself and allow your vision to take hold in your vibration. Imagine it unfolding powerfully. Tell yourself “I give myself to this vision, and I expect to live it as soon as today.”
- Create a fake ledger on your computer. Deposit fake money into it. Pretend it is real. Look on line for ways to spend it all. Let yourself enjoy deciding how you will spend it. What do you want? Enter your “purchases” in your ledger. Every day increase your deposit, and then spend it again. Donate as much as you want to to causes you believe in. Tell yourself “I can’t spend all this money fast enough. It just keeps coming back in greater and greater amounts.”
- Buy a new CD that thrills your heart. If you hear an artist or musical group that makes you feel great when you hear a performance on the radio or on TV, support them by buying a CD of their music. Pay full price for it and feel great about helping them expand their audience. Tell yourself “I give freely to people who make my life better through their art.”
- Give freely when you sense a need. If you are entering the grocery store and you see a hungry person outside, consider buying something to give them that they can eat immediately. They may ask you for money, which you can give them if you are inspired to do so, but choose something ready to eat that you know will nourish them. Tell yourself “I give to others in need. The Universe gives to me in my generosity and gratitude as well, always.”
- When someone offers to help you with something, or to give you something, accept their offer gratefully. Yes, it can take longer to have someone “help you” do something, but if you accept the offer in joy and openness, you can keep your flow open on the receiving end. Tell yourself “I receive gifts into my life freely, joyously, and openly.”
- Give gratitude and appreciation for what you have right now. Practice being content with the prosperity you are enjoying right now. Law of Attraction will bring you more abundance when it knows you already feel abundant and prosperous. Love where you are, and expect a lot more too. Tell yourself “I am abundant, prosperous, and completely in the allowing flow of the Universe. All is well in my life. I am open to the next expanding step.”

I choose love whenever I can. Love is a vibration that feels good, that has no resistance, and that fills me with joy. Choosing love is easier than you might think it is. It does not mean pretending to love when you feel angry. It does not mean smiling when someone wrongs you. Choosing love has nothing to do with being disingenuous. It means being genuine, and being genuinely open to flowing the power of Source through your body and mind as much as possible. Do I get disconnected? You bet I do, because I am a human being on planet Earth. That’s part of the deal I agreed to when I emerged here on my first birthday. I knew that there would be connected times as well as disconnected times. But I never agreed to hold myself in a state of disconnection, or to look for things that made me feel bad. I came here, on planet Earth and in this body, to live fully…and this means loving fully!
I am always looking for excuses to love. We ignite our life with vigor when we allow our self to love fully. But how can you love fully with so many distractions in your day? I just let myself BE distracted by opportunities to love. Here are a few instances when I have loved recently:
- I sat on a rock near my house and heard the call of a cardinal in a high tree near by. I drank on the call of this majestic bird. I loved the sound.
- I took a bubble bath. The water was warm and soft. I breathed deeply and loved the moment.
- Someone complained to me at work. I thought about how they were doing the best that they could, and I felt their good intentions. My reaction turned from confusion to love as I saw her for the extension of God that she is.
- I looked at myself in the mirror and saw lines on my face and bags under my eyes. Then I saw the person behind those lines and bags…the person who earned them! I saw myself as a wise and complete human in the moment. I felt love for myself.
- My dog came to me and licked my face. I love my dog. (That was an easy one!)
- I spent five minutes on Facebook leaving a few positive comments for a few wonderful friends. I love the convenience of Facebook.
It goes on and on. If you want to fully live, you have to look for more opportunities to love. Loving is easy when you expect to love. Let loving be your intention, and look for opportunities to express your love, gratitude, appreciation, and connection in each moment you encounter. The Law of Attraction will respond quickly to your vibration of love, and you will increase the joy in your life to levels that will blow your mind. Thanks for reading.

April 10, 2010
I am sitting here tonight, typing and looking at the beautiful Pacific Ocean while playing some of my favorite music on the Bose Dock. I love taking some time to just BE, and on this particular Saturday evening things on this small part of the Planet seem to be in their perfect order. One of the songs that I just heard on my iPod was “Big Bad World” by the band “Plain White T’s.” This song has inspired my post tonight.
Sometimes when you have been doing your best to move ahead, it seems like you can’t. You may find yourself in endless contrast, or in patterns that seem to give you the same unwanted results over and over again. This is part of being human on Planet Earth, and we all will experience contrasting events that help us hone our desires. Remember that when you know what you don’t want, you know better than ever what you DO want. This is the gift of contrast…it helps you focus with greater and greater clarity. It is how we launch new ideas, desires, and experiences. And once you can consciously harness the Law of Attraction and start noticing how you feel more often, you will recognize more and more how contrast helps you clarify your desires.
Life is eternal. You never “finish” doing anything, because to be done is to find an end…and there is no “end.” Of course, there will certainly be moments when you feel complete, and when your desires feel fulfilled, at least for a time. But you can count on the fact that as soon as you reach “the end” of anything, a new beginning will emerge, and you will continue your quest toward the end. But you will never arrive, not ever. So striving to finish can sometimes keep you from living NOW, in this moment. And this is the wonderful gift of the present moment…everything you want and need is available right now, as long as you can tune into it and let it in right now.
So how does the song “Big Bad World” relate to this post? Read some of the lyrics and see if you can make the connection:
Big Bad World (Plain White T’s):
It’s a big bad world
Were doing what we can
Sometimes we fall on our face
Before we even learn to stand
But we get back up
Shake off all the dust
And take it step by step
I can fill the whole floor to the ceiling
With all the dead wrong choices I’ve made
And even though we try to learn
From each others mistakes
We’ll do it again (doing it again)
We’ll do it again my friend (doing it again)
We’ll do it again and again
Till we eventually can change
The way it’s always been
It’s a big bad dream
Following your heart
Sometimes the one you
Need’s the one that tears you apart
So you say goodbye
Kiss her one more time
And cry the whole way home
I can fill up the driest river
With all the tears falling off of my face
And even though we try to learn
From each others mistakes
We’ll do it again (doing it again)
We’ll do it again my friend (doing it again)
We’ll do it again and again
Till we eventually can change
The way its always been [x2]
Just running ’round in circles
Tripping over every hurdle
Were just trying to do the best that we can
It’s a big bad life
All that we can do
Is try to make it right
Tomorrow something new
So if a big rain cloud
Follows you around
Don’t let it get you down
We’ll do it again (doing it again)
We’ll do it again my friend (doing it again)
We’ll do it again and again
Till we eventually can change
The way its always been.
The song is really well written, and has a nice rock edge to it. You probably can see the connection here, I am sure. We do the best we can, but we will always experience some contrast. We will feel like we are not expanding sometimes, but we will do our best to live, feel better, and to move ahead. We may make the same mistakes over and over, but eventually we will experience change…and in so doing we change the way it has always been. The message I hear is this: relax and be easy about your experience. You may not advance as fast as you think you should, but it’s OK. We all are working our way through our life experience at our own pace, and what you experience is the perfect unfolding for YOU. Let your life be a fun and interesting mix of love and contrast, joy and focus, fun and clarification. It’s a Big World, and there is so much to experience. Love it for what it is, and let yourself embrace your life in all of its fullness and variety. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

The rules of the Law of Attraction are quite easy to understand, but are perhaps more difficult to practice deliberately. Simply stated, you attract to you the things that match your vibration. Your life, then, unfolds perfectly based on what the Universe “hears” you asking for. You never stop asking, however. You ask with every thought, with every thing you observe, and with every interaction you have with everything. We are all perpetual askers. Another way to say this is that you ask for what you want by focusing on it, and you ask for what you don’t want by focusing on it. Both (wanted and unwanted) are drawn into your experience by your attention to them. It makes sense, then, to give your full attention to the things you want so that you can manifest the wanted things into your experience.
If you have been playing with these ideas, but are a little frustrated that things are not happening more quickly for you, you may be taking score too soon. Once you have asked for something, usually by living some contrast that clarifies what you do want…you need to change your focus slightly. If you keep thinking of yourself as someone who needs the new thing, you may be keeping yourself in a pattern where the Universe brings you more of the same. Universal Forces line you up with things that match the essence of where you are…but the Law of Attraction doesn’t care if you are experiencing something, or just living it in your imagination: it matches you up with more of where you think you are vibrationally. For example, if you ask for money because you don’t have much, the Universe “hears” you and lines you up with more money. But the vibration you need to align with to manifest it fully is “I have more money” and not “hey, where’s my money!” It’s an amazing Catch 22 here…you can’t have it until you feel you already have it…but as long as you don’t have it, it’s tricky to feel like you have it.
Here is something I suggest to get you through the doubt stages of manifestation. Once you have identified something you are asking for, be it prosperity, a new relationship, a better job, or whatever, relax and affirm that your “work” is completed. Visualize the essence of this thing in your mind, and see it already coming to you in full form and completion. Feel the complete thrill of having it already. See yourself enjoying it in as many ways as you can imagine. See yourself telling others how much fun you are having with the thing in your experience. Picture it, but more importantly feel and love the essence of it right now.
Once you have done this visualization (and do it as often as you can), start looking right away for evidence of it coming to you, and be grateful and appreciative for every sign you see. If you are looking for more money, pick up that penny in the street and tell yourself “see, I am prosperous and the Universe brings me unexpected income. This is just the tip of the ice burg for me.” Resist the temptation to say something like “just a penny? Universe, I never have enough. You didn’t HEAR me, did you?” If you look for the small clues, and affirm that they are attached to bigger and bigger clues that eventually usher in the full manifestation, you will rejoice in the smaller evidence as if it were the whole experience coming into your full awareness. The clues ARE there. Your wellbeing is assured. Let go, look for evidence of it, and appreciate the magic of the Law of Attraction. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

This summer I did something I haven’t done in years. I was visiting family and there was a large puzzle on the kitchen table in the process of being completed. Working on a puzzle looks so boring, and I hardly consider it as an activity worth spending time on. But I was on vacation, and I really wanted to spend time with family members, so I started working on the puzzle with them. I have to say, it is way more fun to work on a puzzle than it is to watch someone else work on a puzzle.
