<!-- End BidVertiser code --> </div><p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/God.gif"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1848" title="God" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/God-300x170.gif" alt="" width="300" height="170" /></a>We often get asked how God relates to the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>. &#8220;Doesn&#8217;t God have a plan for us, and if so, do we really get to choose our life&#8217;s manifestations? How can we manifest outside of God&#8217;s plan for us?&#8221; This can certainly seem like a contradiction: Either God is in charge, or we are in charge. But maybe there is another explanation that makes sense of it all. Here is how I have come to understand God&#8217;s plan for me.</p>
<p>Rather than use the term &#8220;God,&#8221; I choose to adopt the term &#8220;<strong><em>Source Energy</em></strong>&#8221; for the forces that are behind all things. I like using this term because it is not associated with any particular religion, sect, or ancient dogma created by humans over the years. I believe that <em>Source Energy</em> is the manifestation and power that religions have labeled &#8220;God,&#8221; and I believe that <em>Source Energy</em> is the uniting principle that connects everything in the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong>. <em>Source Energy</em> flows through everything, and it IS everything. You are Source, the computer you are using is Source, The Earth is Source, and even the smallest bit of matter is the embodiment of <em>Source Energy</em>. That means that there is nothing &#8220;outside&#8221; of Source: it flows through every plant, human, animal, atom, and molecule in the <em>Universe</em>.</p>
<p>So if God is <em>Source Energy</em>, and Source is everything, then we are really all God. So God&#8217;s plan for me can&#8217;t be disconnected from my plan for myself. When we have been told that we are &#8220;created in God&#8217;s image,&#8221; it is literally true. You are looking through the eyes of Source, breathing through the lungs of Source, and channeling the energy of Source always. Source does have a plan for you, by the way.</p>
<p>What is Source&#8217;s plan for me? It&#8217;s not specific…and it is specific. Here is what Source specifically wants for you:</p>

<noscript><a href="http://www.bidvertiser.com">affiliate program</a></noscript>
<!-- End BidVertiser code --> </div><p>1. Source wants you to feel good. It wants you to enjoy living and to feel the bliss of existing in this moment.<br />
2. Source wants you to expand and bring thought beyond that which it has been before.<br />
3. Source wants you to love and appreciate yourself just as Source loves and appreciates you.<br />
4. Source wants you to ask for a better conditions, and then allow these conditions without any extra struggle.<br />
5. Source wants you to be free, creative, curious, and open to new ideas.</p>
<p>But as you can see, the plan you inherit from <em>Source</em> is not telling you exactly how to act and behave. It is unspecific in it&#8217;s specifics. YOU get to choose how to expand, be joyful, and to love yourself and others. When you think, feel, and act apart from Source&#8217;s plan for you, you will feel the resistance and pain in your vibration and emotions. But always remember, you get to choose your focus. Another way to say this is that Source wants you to have the things you deeply desire, and is ready to help you achieve them. Align with Source and you will be in sync with the energy that creates worlds. You will know you are in alignment because you will feel better and better.</p>
<p>God&#8217;s plan for you is rooted in your desires for your own expansion and expression. Your life is the unique unfolding of that expression. Allow the joy of Source to express through you, and you will be fulfilling God&#8217;s plan for you…and how that looks to others in terms of the manifestation can take unlimited forms. You are Source Energy, and Source Energy is YOU! Enjoy This Most Amazing Day!  CHRIS</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/attraction.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1787" title="attraction" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/attraction.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="299" /></a>I just love the <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em>, and I love knowing that what I give my attention to is magnified and manifested over time. I know that what I see, and the experiences I find in my NOW today are a perfect match to what I have been attracting through my vibration. I like paying attention to how I feel and adjusting as the day goes on. I also like the idea that there is only inclusion, and things can&#8217;t &#8220;get me&#8221; that I don&#8217;t invite in, then I really am in control of my experience. This feels good.</p>
<p>But with the oh-so-good- feeling of ultimate control in my life comes the responsibility to guide my experience. I can&#8217;t simply look to others to tell me what to do, because they can&#8217;t feel what I am feeling. They haven&#8217;t walked in my vibrational shoes, and they can&#8217;t possibly be feeling my guidance as strongly as I can. (Actually, I don&#8217;t think they can feel MY guidance at all&#8230;only their own!) Each person must <em>be</em> their own vibrational compass on the churning seas of their own personal reality. This is probably why some people resist ideas like the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>&#8230;it&#8217;s seems less complicated to just &#8220;follow the rules&#8221; of parents, teachers, or social institutions who are more than willing to tell you how you should behave. I get it, and it is a responsibility I gladly take on&#8230;with joy and bliss, and purpose!</p>
<p>OK, so I have this charge to guide my experience, and I know that I can be, do, or have anything that I can <em>achieve vibrational harmony with</em>. As I said, I have fun observing what I am getting and then adjusting&#8230;but how do I more carefully and consciously create a specific experience, with obvious manifestations that I can recognize when they arrive? I have struggled with this in the past, because when I get to the point of deliberate focus, <em>I&#8217;m not always sure what I should ask for</em>! I have friends who can blurt out the things they want, no thinking at all, just here&#8217;s my list. Jealous. I know that contrast creates desire, and I don&#8217;t really need to worry too much about all of this. When I experience contrast it helps me ask for something else, and then the &#8220;asking&#8221; is done. But I am ready to move into a new level of asking&#8230;deliberate, focused asking.</p>
<p>Here is one method I used for finding out what I want. I asked myself if I am keeping myself from wanting because I don&#8217;t really believe I am allowed to ask for certain things. What I mean is, I might really want a new car, but I might be afraid to want it too much because I might not believe that I can afford it. So my belief in not having the money to buy a car could be keeping me from asking for it. OK, so I got a piece of paper and wrote &#8220;Money is no object for me. What do I want?&#8221; I had to be willing to let the first sentence sink in, because I could feel myself resisting the outlandish concept that money didn&#8217;t play into the equation. But once I let the money block go, my imagination began to take wings. This process uncovered other blocks to my brainstorming that I wasn&#8217;t even aware of. As I shed each limiting belief, at least for the exercise, I found no end to the things I was willing to draw to me&#8230;things that felt great to me while thinking about them.</p>
<p>What keeps you from asking for what you want? Do you have the &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what I want&#8221; block too sometimes? Remove your &#8220;ya, but&#8221; thinking and just put it on vacation today. See what comes up. You can have anything, be anything, and do anything that you achieve vibrational harmony with. Vibrational harmony is achieved when you move into hope, optimism, expectation and belief on the subject. I found this game thrilling for me, and I play it as often as I can. Try it and let us know what happened for you. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post!  Lisa</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/yes-and-no.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1775" title="yes-and-no" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/yes-and-no.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>It&#8217;s fun to be living on planet Earth, having a human experience and honing preferences for the experiences we want to attract and create. Every time you have an experience that makes you say &#8220;No, I don&#8217;t want to have that experience again&#8221; it is as if you reconfigure a &#8220;preferences file&#8221; with the <em><strong>Universe</strong></em>. Through this contrasting experience, the <em>Universe</em> hears your asking (vibrationally) and expands to match your asking, and then it becomes the new vibrational version of you&#8230;waiting for YOU to align with the expanded version of YOU.  All day, every day we are sorting through our individual preferences for what we want, and when we say &#8220;no&#8221; we really, really mean &#8220;NO!&#8221; It&#8217;s OK to feel grateful and appreciative for our ability to say &#8220;no.&#8221; The word &#8220;no&#8221; puts the expansion of the <em>Universe</em> into motion.</p>
<p>But for the <em>Universe</em>, there is no such thing as the word &#8220;no.&#8221; When you say &#8220;no,&#8221; the <em>Universe</em> only hears &#8220;yes.&#8221; But how can this be? This is because we live in an <em>inclusion-based</em> <em>Universe</em>. The <strong><em>Law of Inclusion</em></strong> dictates that anything that you give your attention to becomes part of your vibration, and then the <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em> gets to work to give you more of it. In other words, you can&#8217;t push anything away from you and your vibration&#8230;if it has your attention in any way, you are magnifying it and attracting more of it toward your personal experience. In an inclusion-based system, trying to stop anything (drugs, crime, disease, poverty, etc.) only serves to intensify the vibration, no matter how well-meaning you are. So how do we address these problems, you might say? If you focus directly on the problem, there will always be the problem, and bigger problems like it. (The Universe hears &#8220;This is a problem&#8221; and agrees with you, and sends you more of it because you gave it your attention.)</p>
<p>Instead, focus on your <em>mind&#8217;s highest image of a solution that does not include the problem.</em> That last sentence is worth reading again. Remember that you can&#8217;t think about the problem without including, intensifying, expanding, and drawing more of the problem into your personal experience. So the key is to give your attention to thoughts and ideas of clarity, peace, wellness, and prosperity, rather than trying to rid the planet of drugs, crime, disease, and poverty.</p>
<p>But if no one works to rid the world of drugs, crime, disease, and poverty, won&#8217;t these things get out of control and multiply? Not in an inclusion-based <em>Universe</em>. The problems will dissipate and lose their energy as connected people all over the world act on their inner wisdom from connection to <strong><em>Source</em></strong>, and follow their intuition to promote clarity, peace, wellness, and prosperity.</p>
<p>What are you for, and what are you against? Now that you are more aware that you are actually <em>for</em> the things you thought you were <em>against</em>, how might you refocus your attention today? Just notice today, through your experience, what you have been asking for by observing everything you are getting. You have been saying &#8220;yes&#8221; to all of it, even when you shouted &#8220;no&#8221; at it. Be easy about it, and when you must say &#8220;no&#8221; just get off the thought and turn to something you can say &#8220;yes&#8221; to as soon as possible. Be <em>for things </em>from now on, and let them flow to you effortlessly over time. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Healthy-Food.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1755" title="Healthy-Food" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Healthy-Food-300x276.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="276" /></a>Since the start of the new year, my husband and I have been experimenting with eating different kinds of food. Our &#8220;normal&#8221; diet was not unlike the majority of people living in the United States today: few greens, lots of pasta, snacks, burgers, steak, sushi, good beer, great wine, and a martini to start happy hour. We had not experienced serious health concerns with this diet over the last 10 years, and except for a few extra pounds we thought we felt fine.</p>
<p><strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> is an interesting thing, because we set out a desire to lose a few pounds in the new year, and we simply kept to the <em><strong>feeling</strong></em> of the idea. We stayed open to the feeling of losing weight, or better put, we did our best to feel thinner and enjoy the feeling of being 10 pounds lighter. In the nidst of feeling better we came across a diet plan that we had never heard of before: The Ph Miracle! I&#8217;ll write about this diet plan in detail at a later date, but suffice to say that it has changed our life for the better.</p>
<p>What <em>Law of Attraction</em> brought us was a new framework to think about health. This diet might not resonate with everyone, but it works for us. What we like about it is we get to eat all we want and not count calories, ever. The food tastes good, and it makes our bodies find a perfect weight, which for us has been 10-15 pounds less in a matter of two months. Now we are maintaining our new lower weight, and we continue to embrace the new culinary choices that we attracted. When we &#8220;cheat&#8221; and fall back to our old choices, we notice a difference in how we feel, how our bodies react to the food, and also how we feel in terms of mood swings.</p>
<p>In a nut shell, this diet includes all green vegetables, good salts including pure sea salt, some fish, almonds, avocados, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, healthy oils, and spices. It does not include sweet fruits, wheat, alcohol, caffeine, meat, sugar, and a whole host of other &#8220;fun&#8221; stuff we used to eat. But let me tell you, three days on this diet and you will feel your mood shift for the better&#8230;and fast. You will notice more bliss, connection to <strong><em>Source</em></strong>, and a renewed zest for living that you may have long forgotten.</p>
<p>Eating used to make me happy, then bum me out when I was done. I felt heavy and bloated. I was not excited to do the next thing on my schedule. Now, I never feel really hungry, yet I eat all day. My moods are better, and I am generally more happy. I know that <em>Law of Attraction</em> is attracting all the things I want, because I feel better. How I feel is everything, and my new food choices have helped me attain this improved state. You can do it too. You don&#8217;t need to do this particular diet, but you can start experimenting with food choices while you just take inventory of how you feel. Eat your way back to feeling great. Be Well, Marie-GP</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/wallstreetbonus.jpeg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1732" title="wallstreetbonus" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/wallstreetbonus.jpeg" alt="" width="250" height="299" /></a>At <em>Gratitude Planet</em>, we pride ourselves on being helpful to our readers, and we strive every day to make a positive difference in the quality of life on planet Earth. You can find a whole lot of posts on Gratitude Planet about the <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em> (L of A), as well as tips on allowing and enjoying the life you want, deserve, and are manifesting. But there haven&#8217;t been a lot of specific posts on GP on the &#8220;prosperity&#8221; part of &#8220;Law of Attraction Tips for Wellness and Prosperity.&#8221; I would guess that many of our readers would like to expand their ideas and beliefs around money, and would like to have more of the green stuff in their wallets, checkbooks, and college funds. There is nothing wrong with wanting to attract and allow more money into your experience, and using the <em>Law of Attraction</em> to improve your focus is a great way to become more prosperous. There are several questions tied to this discussion:</p>
<p>1. What is prosperity, and how will you know when you have it?</p>
<p>2. Why do you want prosperity, and what will you do with it?</p>
<p>3. What will being prosperous feel like?</p>
<p>Question one has a simple answer on the surface: prosperity is money, and I&#8217;ll know by the bottom line on my bank statement. It is true that prosperous people are often monetarily rich, and it is also true that it is hard to think of prosperity apart from income. But haven&#8217;t you met some very rich people who <em>feel</em> poor? Haven&#8217;t you observed happy people who have next to nothing? It can be said, then, that feeling prosperous is a relative thing indeed: for some people, no amount of money will make them feel prosperous enough to be happy. Maybe prosperity comes in other forms as well, and perhaps prosperity can be better defined as <em>being happy with what you have, while expecting more to flow to you</em>. Maybe prosperity consciousness is all about being rich in thought, action and feeling, and allowing the riches to flow through many varied channels. You will know you have it because you will be living a life that is rich in gifts, and you will be open to happily receiving these gifts in each moment.</p>
<p>Why do you want to be prosperous, and what will you do with it? This is a harder question for many people to answer. Can you answer it off the top of your head? From a young age we have been conditioned to chase after money, and many of us can&#8217;t even say what we want the money for. Sure, you can pay bills, buy a better car, and live in a better house&#8230;but when all this is done, then what? Why do you want it? Will you help others with it? Will you give some away? Will you will it to your kids? There is no right answer, but what ever your answers are will give you insight into the motivation behind your pursuit of monetary prosperity. Focusing on the good that the money can ignite can help it flow to you more easily into your experience. Broadening your definition of &#8220;prosperity&#8221; to include any gift that makes your life richer can also help more of it flow to you effortlessly.</p>
<p>What does it feel like to be prosperous? I immediately think of the word &#8220;freedom.&#8221; I think many people want to be rich so that they can be free to live as they choose. But as I stated earlier, there are many &#8220;rich&#8221; people who do not feel free. In fact, big dollars often come with problems that are just as big. Some very wealthy people have no time to enjoy their money, and they constantly strive to arrive at a place in time where they can finally relax into their prosperity. There are also unhappy poor people, I know. But the saying that &#8220;money can&#8217;t buy love or happiness&#8221; does hold some truth. I believe that true prosperity feels like fun, excitement, richness, joy, love, passion, and bliss. If you are rich in thought, action and feeling, you are receiving prosperity in a multitude of ways: in the eyes of children&#8230;in the smiles of friends&#8230;in the job you do&#8230;in the beauty of music and art&#8230;and even in the majesty of a sunrise. A prosperous person feels rich and free, and they expect it to continue. A prosperous person knows that all is well, and if they want more green stuff too, the Law of Attraction can easily line them up with more money as well. It&#8217;s always about how you feel. Feel rich&#8230;become rich&#8230;in every area of your experience!</p>
<p>This post was inspired by the AMAZING sunrise I witnessed recently outside my house. I gave great thanks and appreciated the light show, and it felt like a living work of art was unfolding before my eyes. I wondered how many other people who were watching the sunrise were feeling as prosperous as I was. Just being there and receiving the gift of the moment, I felt like the richest man on the planet. It didn&#8217;t change my bank account necessarily, but it filled up my appreciation and gratitude tank to full for sure. I am grateful for the prosperity that allows me to live fully and love fully. What are the gifts of prosperity that are already in your life right now? Do you perceive them? Are you open to receive them? Do you give thanks for them? If you are, then you are rich indeed. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/the_four_agreements_by_don_miguel_ruiz.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1614" title="the_four_agreements_by_don_miguel_ruiz" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/the_four_agreements_by_don_miguel_ruiz.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="291" /></a>Today I am going to take the third agreement from the book <a title="miguelruiz.com" href="http://www.miguelruiz.com/" target="_self">“The Four Agreements”</a> by Don Miguel Ruiz and relate it to my understanding of the<strong><em> Law of Attraction</em></strong>. If you haven’t read Part 3 of this series, you can click <a title="Learn To Be (Part 3)" href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/2011/02/21/learn-to-be-more-agreeable-with-yourself-part-3/" target="_blank">HERE</a> to see it before you read this post. In his book, the author discusses   how we inherit  certain beliefs as we grow from infancy into adulthood.   The beliefs we  hold come to form the basis for what we call “truth”  in  the world, and  our behavior is vastly shaped by those beliefs. We  make  an agreement with ourselves to call these beliefs “reality” and to  not  question them in our own minds. But if you adopt new agreements,   replacing the old ones, and decide to guide your life by them, your can   transform your life in a powerful way. Remember that the four NEW   agreements are:</p>
<p>1.     Be impeccable with your word.</p>
<p>2.     Don’t take anything personally.</p>
<p>3.     Don’t make assumptions.</p>
<p>4.     Always do your best.</p>
<p>The third agreement, <em>“Don&#8217;t Make Assumptions”</em> is an all-important one as it relates to the <em>Law of Attraction</em>. To &#8220;assume,&#8221; as an old, wise, yet humorous saying goes, makes an &#8220;ass&#8221; out of &#8220;u&#8221; and &#8220;me.&#8221;  The official definition of the word is:</p>
<p><em><strong>assumption |əˈsəm(p) sh ən|</strong></em><br />
<em><strong>noun</strong></em><br />
<em><strong>1 a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof.</strong></em></p>
<p>Assuming, by definition, means that you have no real proof that the event or situation is true, and it also means that you have a choice in terms of how you perceive the event or situation. We all make assumptions, often quite unconsciously, all the time. We might hear a beep in traffic and assume that someone is mad at us (when they really might know us), or we might assume that someone is ignoring us (when they just didn&#8217;t notice us). Assumptions become part of our daily routine and, over time, we ascribe our assumptions to blocks of reality that we never dare to question. The real question is, <em>do your assumptions serve your greater sense of well being, and do you assumptions help you feel better in this moment?</em> If you answered &#8220;yes and yes&#8221; then you are doing well with this third agreement.</p>
<p>Remember that the <em>Law of Attraction</em> responds to your average vibrational offering, and this vibration is always changing as you think and feel, and think and feel your way through every day. When you feel good, you are attracting the things that will feel good when they manifest. Likewise, when you feel bad or disconnected, you are attracting things that won&#8217;t feel great when they manifest. Yet being human on planet Earth means feeling good sometimes and bad other times&#8230;the key is to feel better, and to move your average vibration higher and higher. You do this by the thoughts you choose. Your assumptions directly affect your thoughts.</p>
<p>The next time you feel a disconnected thought, or a feeling that feels bad, notice if the thought is connected to an assumption you are making. Are you assuming that you hurt someone&#8217;s feelings? Are you assuming that you failed someone? Might you be assuming that something in the future will go wrong? In almost every case, you have a choice to drop the assumption and feel better in the moment. Because you have no real proof of the validity of the assumption, why not just ignore the possibility for now, until you get a better sense for what has, or what will, happen? I have noticed that I make assumptions that I can never prove, such as if a stranger thought I was nice of not. I may never see the person again, and I don&#8217;t need to assume anything about the interaction&#8230;the experience is only in my mind once it is over, and I get to choose how I perceive it.</p>
<p>Because I practice the conscious art of the <em>Law of Attraction</em>, I like to take this agreement one step further by being selective about my assumptions. If I make an assumption that feels bad, I do my best to drop it. But if I make an assumption that feels good, I just roll with it. A simple example would be: if I assume that something bad is going to happen I just let go of the thought, and remind myself that it is merely an assumption. But if I have a thought that all is well, or that something good will happen, I embrace the better-feeling thought and let it permeate my vibration. So my agreement with myself is really: <em>&#8220;Make No Bad-feeling Assumptions.&#8221; </em></p>
<p>I hope this makes sense to you. You have the power to feel better and better, and to attract the life you have been asking for and wanting. It is yours for the taking, as long as you are open to noticing how you feel. Use this agreement to your advantage and see the difference it can make in your life today. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/WellBeing_Stretching.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1725" title="WellBeing_Stretching" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/WellBeing_Stretching-300x219.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="219" /></a>Hello Everyone! I was doing my yoga routine this morning and came to a new understanding of how allowing works. Remember that the <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em> (LOA) works in a three step process: You Ask (automatic), <em><strong>Source</strong></em> Answers (not your work), and You Align With The New Vibration (your work, and only your work, and your only work!). I talked about this in a past post. You can read that post by clicking <a title="My Earlier Post on GP" href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/?p=416" target="_self">HERE</a> if you like. I added a step to the three-step process &#8217;cause I think people need to relax more and let themselves feel good while doing this. These were my &#8220;new&#8221; steps to make <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> work for you:</p>
<p>1A. You Ask (automatic through living on planet Earth)</p>
<p>1B. Make Peace With Where You Are, Who You Are, And What You Have. (your business)</p>
<p>2. <em><strong>Source</strong></em> Answers (not your work)</p>
<p>3. You Align With The New Vibration (your work, and only your work, and your only work!)</p>
<p>Yet today, I had a new insight. You can do this even sitting at your computer. I was doing yoga, and I went into a pose and was holding it. Sometimes I go really deep into the pose, and sometimes I go in just enough to notice a little resistance in my muscles. When I go really deep, it can really hurt. If I go in just a bit, it is more of a dull sensation, and not really painful. Now, I decided today to just go into a stretch only enough that I noticed a little amount of resistance or sensation. As I noticed the resistance (step ONE A), I stayed there and changed my focus to my breathing and away from the resistance (step ONE B) and then affirmed that <em><strong>Source Energy</strong></em> had created a new me that had no pain in this stretch (step TWO), and then I noticed the resistance disappear! (step THREE). So in little more than 20 seconds I went from feeling resistance, relaxing and making peace with me, and allowing the new me without the resistance. Yoga actually means &#8220;union&#8221; and is a practice for going in and understanding yourself and the <em><strong>Universe</strong></em> better.  It is supposed to be a path to wellbeing and expansion. Now I get it! And it&#8217;s not about stretching farther than I can. It&#8217;s about going to my edge and expanding with joy where I am. WOW!</p>
<p>If you have things in your life that you can&#8217;t figure out how to allow, why not practice allowing smaller things, and then work on up to the bigger things? This stretching/yoga (I&#8217;ll call it a meditation) technique gives you almost instant gratification, and works on exactly the same laws that create and allow more friends, cars, relationships, prosperity, ocean-front homes, and the like. Get good at allowing wellness in the here and now, and the bigger things will be on the way very soon. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post!  Lisa</p>

		<description><![CDATA[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 you 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.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/sysprefspreview.png"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1722" title="sysprefspreview" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/sysprefspreview-300x189.png" alt="" width="300" height="189" /></a>When I want my computer to support what I need it to do more easily, I open up the &#8220;preferences&#8221; 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 &#8220;preferences&#8221; on my computer. It makes my computing experience more fun and personalized. Did you know that you have your own set of &#8220;preferences&#8221; in your vibration too? Here&#8217;s how it works, in a nutshell: You live your life, some things go really well and some things don&#8217;t go quite as well. In both cases, you set your vibrational preferences based on your experience. Your &#8220;good&#8221; events help you ask for more of the same, and the events that feel bad help you <em>ask for the opposite of the experience</em>. If someone treats you badly, it&#8217;s like you open up the preferences pane and set your system to &#8220;I want people to treat me nicer.&#8221; When you run out of money, you set your preferences automatically to &#8220;I really want more money.&#8221; Life causes you to want, and you send out your preferences automatically to the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong> where it is heard by your <em><strong>inner being</strong></em> and <strong><em>Source energy</em></strong>.</p>
<p>You might wonder, then, why your experience doesn&#8217;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&#8230;sort of. You see, you are not an &#8220;on and off/black and white&#8221; device. You are a vibrational being that is always experiencing what the <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em> is lining you up with. The <em>LoA</em> 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&#8217;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 <em>Law of Attraction</em> (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&#8230;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&#8217;t entertain thoughts for very long that may cancel your &#8220;order.&#8221;</p>
<p>I love to define my preferences, and I love knowing that the <em>Law of Attraction</em> 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&#8217;s fun to get to decide on all of these. When something isn&#8217;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&#8217;t cancel the order. How FUN!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/iphone_1290150c.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1633" title="AT&amp;T EARNS" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/iphone_1290150c-300x187.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="187" /></a>Anyone with a cell phone has had the experience of having it ring in a place where it should be turned off. Places like concerts, funerals, meetings, and meditation sessions are good examples of times that you really need to shut off your ringer. Having your phone go off in a bad time and place is annoying to you, and to the people around you too. Still, some people don&#8217;t want to take a chance that they might miss an important call. For some, a missed call represents a lost opportunity, a possible permanent disappointment they will never live down. I, on the other hand, don&#8217;t care if I miss calls. If it&#8217;s important I know they&#8217;ll call back. You have probably felt different ways at different time on this one.</p>
<p><em><strong>Source Energy</strong></em> is calling you. Did you know that? You asked the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong> to change your life in a very important way the last time you experienced an uncomfortable experience of contrast in your life. You sent a huge request for your life to be better, more fun, expanded, and more joyful, and the <em>Universe</em> heard you, and <em>Source</em> is now calling you forward to receive it. Can you hear this call? Is it a good time for you to take this call? Is your ringer off? Do you think <em>Source</em> will call back?</p>
<p>The <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em> has been organizing people, events, and circumstances to aid in the perfect unfolding of your asking. Let&#8217;s say you asked for a new job. Your present job, in all it&#8217;s crappiness, caused you to say &#8220;I want a better job. I want a great boss and fun and fulfilling tasks to play with all day.&#8221; Great! Then you did your best to align with the new vibration by enjoying the work you already have as much as you could. Great! You didn&#8217;t tell your old story, but you began telling your new story more and more, to the point that it feels like the true story, more than the &#8220;real&#8221; one. Great! So why aren&#8217;t you taking calls from &#8220;<em>Source</em>?&#8221; <em>Source Energy</em> on line one!</p>
<p>You might be being called to do little things that seem to make little difference, but can you hear the call? What might these calls sound like? In this example for a new job, the words being transmitted to you might sound like &#8220;wait for the next train&#8221; or &#8220;talk to that person&#8221; or &#8220;call that number you saw on the poster&#8221; or &#8220;visit that website&#8221; or &#8220;take a long walk right now&#8221; or &#8220;make that vision board&#8221; or &#8220;be kind to that person&#8221; or &#8220;attend that event&#8221; or anything that feels like a call to inspired action. If you aren&#8217;t taking these calls, you might never even hear the meaning of the feeling behind the inspiration. If you just ignore it, you might hear the words, but write them off as silly, like &#8220;I never do that.&#8221; Source will call you toward the perfect circumstances that <em>Law of Attraction</em> has organized for you, but you have to respond to the call. Turn your ringer on.</p>
<p>The beauty of all of this is that you can&#8217;t stop <em>Source&#8217;s</em> call to you. You can ignore it, but the call continues, consistently and constantly. It never gives up. So when you are ready and willing, pick up on this calling, and let the magic of your inspired life blossom fully into your awareness. Be Well, Marie-GP</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/sunset-beach-walk.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1606" title="sunset-beach-walk" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/sunset-beach-walk-300x213.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="213" /></a>For a whole summer when I was a teenager, I remember walking the beach at sunrise every morning with a good friend who was about fifty years older than I was. She would pick me up early in the morning, and we would stroll the beach just being grateful and talking about life in general. It was a very connected way to start the day. Afterward we would usually pop in for a quick and cheap breakfast at a local cafe.</p>
<p>I was so appreciative of the time, and I wanted to show it by picking up the tab for breakfast. I picked up the tab for the first several times, and then one day she stopped and insisted that I<em> NOT</em> pay so that she could pay. I resisted. She finally said to me that &#8220;she who pays has the power of giving, but she who receives has the power of receiving.&#8221; I was stopped in my tracks because I never thought of receiving as a powerful act. It was then and there for the first time that I realized my lack of practice around receiving.</p>
<p>It was hard for me to not pay. It was difficult to enjoy letting her pay&#8230;I felt slightly guilty. Over the years I have come to balance giving and receiving in my life. When I pay (or donate. or give my time, etc.) I do it in full appreciation for the good it brings to others. <em>And when I receive, I receive fully, without guilt or shame or worry, the amazing gifts being offered.</em> It is truly powerful to open yourself up to receiving. And bear in mind that receiving can take place all day (not just in the form of money) through smiles, positive interactions, or compliments from others. Receive with your full power. I am grateful for that early experience, and I appreciate the wisdom it has brought to my life. Perhaps <strong><em>you</em></strong> have had an experience like this one? We would like to read it if you are willing to share it. Be.Love today! Hannya-GP</p>
