There are times when I don’t feel like doing anything. Sometimes I just want to stay at home and accomplish absolutely nothing. First off, I started to pay attention to how I feel more and more of the time. What I discovered is that sometimes I feel excited and ready to do things, and other times I need to recharge and give myself some quiet time. When I honor the quiet time without feeling bad about it, I recharge my batteries much faster than when I beat myself up. And once I have a chance to recharge, I get a wave of inspiration to get up and do something.

I used to do it the other way: I would need a recharge, but would instead head into the world hoping to find the inspiration to make it through. But Law of Attraction aligns you with more of what you are feeling, so if you are tired and cranky, you will attract more events that feel like “tired and cranky.” So it’s so very important to notice how you feel and change your vibration with a quiet recharging time…guilt-free.

But I know what you might be thinking: “Who has time to recharge with so much to do and so little time?” Here’s my answer: You will accomplish more in your day when you are connected to Source than when you are disconnected. When you practice slowing down and connecting to yourself and listening to how you feel and talking yourself into a better feeling place, you can do it in 5–10 minutes. If you can’t find five minutes in your schedule it’s prime time to re-evaluate your schedule for better peace and wellness.

Try taking 5–10 minutes of quiet recharging time today. See if you feel better. Let me know what you experience. I bet you will feel better and get more done in your life. Much Love, Hannya

When I need a reason to love, I look at my dog Suki. She is always in love with life. She never questions if life has thrown her a curve ball, or if there is fairness in the world. She knows that life is a game of fun and joy, and she tells me this with a single look. If I feel bad, I just look at her and stare at her for a few moments. Then my restlessness melts away and I remember that well being abounds. She is a great teacher of life’s greatness, and she does it without being aware that she does it. She just lives well being, and she radiates it at the same time. This is one of the best ways to teach…by example.

Perhaps you have a pet or a favorite person that can help you find the feelings of connection when you are a little shaken. It need not be a person because it can also be a TV show, or a favorite band or album. Give your focus to the things that feel good to you, and let yourself be in the loving arms of Source Energy more often. When you feel good, you lead by example. Thanks to this day, to the Universe, to Law of Attraction, and to those small puppies that help us feel better and better. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post!  Lisa

Aligning with Source is not hard, really. It can be as easy as listening to your breath for five minutes, or doing yoga, or meditating for a little while. It can happen on a walk, or while you are looking at the sky. In fact, there are countless ways to connect to Source Energy as long as you have the intention to do so. The only way you can keep yourself from aligning is to rush ahead into the day or into a situation without gathering yourself in the moment. Take the time to slow down your conscious mind, and let yourself love the moment even more. Assure yourself that this is time well spent. It all works out.

Try this as an experiment. Do it one day, and maybe not the next. See if the day feels different to you. journal about how you feel during the day. See if you have parking spaces, friends that you just happen to connect with, or new and wonderful experiences that pop up for you. I know you will…because it happens to me all the time. Be.Love today! Hannya-GP

Rather than use the term “God,” I choose to adopt the term “Source Energy” 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 Source Energy is the manifestation and power that religions have labeled “God,” and I believe that Source Energy is the uniting principle that connects everything in the Universe. Source Energy 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 Source Energy. That means that there is nothing “outside” of Source: it flows through every plant, human, animal, atom, and molecule in the Universe.

So if God is Source Energy, and Source is everything, then we are really all God. So God’s plan for me can’t be disconnected from my plan for myself. When we have been told that we are “created in God’s image,” 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.

What is Source’s plan for me? It’s not specific…and it is specific. Here is what Source specifically wants for you:

1. Source wants you to feel good. It wants you to enjoy living and to feel the bliss of existing in this moment.
2. Source wants you to expand and bring thought beyond that which it has been before.
3. Source wants you to love and appreciate yourself just as Source loves and appreciates you.
4. Source wants you to ask for a better conditions, and then allow these conditions without any extra struggle.
5. Source wants you to be free, creative, curious, and open to new ideas.

But as you can see, the plan you inherit from Source is not telling you exactly how to act and behave. It is unspecific in it’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’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.

God’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’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

Your life, right now, is a perfect reflection of your vibration as you have created it in the recent past. Make a list of the things you are grateful for, and also the things that you would like to change. You attracted everything on BOTH lists! “But wait,” you say. “There is no way I asked for all that crappy stuff! Why would I ask for stuff that I don’t like?” The answer is simple: You asked for it by giving your attention to things that invited it into your experience. Another way to say this is that you opened a vibrational door, even if you didn’t know you were doing it. But that is the best news of all. No one put this unwanted stuff in your experience…YOU did. And you are the one who can make the changes necessary to attract something more wanted into your experience.

Let’s say, for example, that you have attracted debt and bills that you can’t pay. One way you might have done this is by “pushing against” bills and debt. You can do this by thinking about NOT having bills and debt, and thus including the concepts of bills and debts into your vibration. Pushing against anything makes you include it in your vibration. One way to turn this around is to be in favor of riches and prosperity in your experience. Note the difference: You are not against debts, but are rather in favor of money and expanded prosperity. As you focus on what is wanted, you will begin to attract more and more of it. It works for any subject. Instead of trying to lose fat, be in favor of allowing more thinness. Another way you might have attracted bills and debts is by feeling, in a general way, poor and not prosperous. Perhaps you feel that you don’t deserve to have prosperity, or that being wealthy is a sign of a weak character. No matter how you got to allowing a vibration of lack, you can turn it around in a powerful way…and in 30 days or less!

So how can you start allowing more of what you want? Here is the recipe for you:

1. Make the list of the things you are manifesting right now. One list can be “wanted” and the other list “unwanted.” Be honest and include everything you can think of.
2. Be grateful and appreciative of the things in the “wanted” column. Bask in the fun of these manifestations.
3. Make a third column. Call this list “things I’m attracting now.”
4. Translate your “unwanted” list into an allowing list by changing the wording of each item. If you wrote “I’m in debt,” write “I allow wealth and riches.”
5. Take time each day to be grateful and appreciative of the items in the “things I’m attracting now” column. Bask in the fun of these manifestations. Enjoy them as much (or more) than the ones you have already manifested. Be easy about it. Have fun.

Once you make a habit of focusing on the things you want, rather than pushing against the things you don’t want, you will see a shift in your life that will amaze you. Things you have been wanting for years will pop up and appear “out of nowhere.” Your timing will be perfect, and you will align with events and people in a powerful new way. Keep your focus on that third column, and let yourself relax into the new vibration. If you stay focused on this new list, you will see the evidence of new manifestations in only days, and magical changes in less than 30 days! Give this exercise a try, and then let everyone at Gratitude Planet know about it. Enjoy This Most Amazing Day!  CHRIS

Source Energy is always loving you, and you are never totally alone. If you feel good, I am with you, and if you feel bad, I’m still there. I love you no matter how you feel. I want you to feel good, but there is no judgement if you feel bad. I understand why you beat yourself up at times, but you need to remember that Source Energy never beats you up…ever. I know everything about you, and I appreciate you for being exactly who you are. Your life is part of an all-perfect unfolding in the Universe. Your life is supposed to be fun, creative, expanding, exuberant, and interesting…but you will have many, many experiences along the way. No matter where you are physically, vibrationally, or spiritually, it’s all good. No matter where you find yourself, you can always get to a new place that you desire to be in. Relax. Breathe. Allow. All is well…Source Energy

Recently, I have been asking for more clarity. I want to have thoughts that feel pure, actions that feel worthwhile, and inspirations that have a clear drive toward creative actions. I looked around my apartment and noticed that my surroundings reflected a present reality that was anything but clear and pure. There were things in piles, piles in corners, and corners that were unusable. This all happened over time, and I never even noticed how I got to this place of clutter and confusion. But once I recognized my desire for clarity, I had to acknowledge that my surroundings were a perfect reflection of the inner clutter I was experiencing over a long time. Of course, the desire for clarity came from the experience of the clutter…the contrast created the new desire, and so it’s all good. That’s how life unfolds.

Now I could have meditated on the clarity and pictured my living space in perfect organization until Law of Attraction inspired me to take action to change the environment. That works. But in this case, I decided to take action right away. In a sense, I was inspired to take this action, because I felt a strong desire to take it. Yet, in this case I really felt that changing the outer environment would help me stay focused in the new vibration of clarity. To be sure, putting the cart before the horse vibrationally is less fun than waiting for the inner vibration to completely align first. However, I felt I was well on the way to clarity with my vibration, and I decided to give my vibration a jump-start in the outer realm. I started working on the clutter.

Going through a house or apartment, for me, is like traveling through a time warp. Every item seems to hold an important spot in the history of my life, and letting go of anything requires an inner letting go as well. But I braved the clutter and allowed myself to make space for the clarity. I released a bunch of things that had been hanging around for years. I kept telling myself that I was creating space for my clarity. After a while, I got a momentum and got through the entire living space. It felt easy by the end. I had several huge bags of trash and a car load of items to donate to Good Will.

Now that things are uncluttered, my environment does not contradict my inner desire for clarity. It’s even easier for me to focus on my vibration, and the Law of Attraction can assist me more powerfully. I can feel the expansion of my desire, and I have an even stronger belief that I am manifesting my new-found clarity in every aspect of my life. I am grateful for the exercise of clearing out the clutter. You can do it too. Clear you vibration by clearing out the clutter in your living space. Start with a junk drawer. Do anything that feels right. Every little bit helps. Be Well and Focused and Clear! Marie

All the time that it took me to finally get to this monumental occasion, I had built up inside of myself a sort of vision of how it would feel to finally graduate from college.  Being a romantic at heart, I knew how it would feel, I knew how it would look, I even knew what it would smell like.  Yes, I know it sounds a little strange, but to me, graduating from a major university has a special smell associated with it. Some might say that it is the smell of all the beautiful Jacaranda trees blooming, and the other delicious smells that Mother Nature brings to us every spring, but this smell is different.  To me, graduating from college had a clean, sweet smell of success; and almost lofty aroma that lifts your very being to heights unknown to any other person but yourself.  The closer the actual day came; the more I looked forward to experiencing those sights and sounds, feelings and smells. I knew that they were mine, because I had focused on them so hard, and as I have come to know from the Law of Attraction, I knew that whatever I gave my attention to would bring me more of what I was thinking and feeling (and smelling) about.

And finally, the big day arrived!  Like any individual who has focused long and hard on a dream, I flew out of bed like a kid on Christmas morning, eager to greet the day and claim the prizes that I had stored up for myself in the Universe.  I raced through my morning routines and rituals like a gazelle so that I could get to the “good stuff” faster.  But when I arrived at the “BIG MOMENT,” that moment that I had been dreaming, thinking, and feeling about for so many years, I was met with……….nothing.  Well, nothing like what I had THOUGHT it would be like.

The place had not been transformed into the great Romanesque halls with the Ivy streaming down the sides like you see in the movies and on TV; there was no feeling of being elevated to heights unknown… there was no backlighting shinning down when I stepped up to receive my diploma…and no heralding trumpets to announce the entrance of the graduates.  There wasn’t even that special smell that I had waited and wished for year after year after year.  In fact, the whole thing felt kind of…….ordinary and mundane. I felt ripped off!!! “Hey Universe…..where’s my sights and sounds, feelings and smells???”

Before I go on, let me say that graduating from college was a wonderful experience!  It just wasn’t the experience I had hoped for.  I, like so many of us, had fallen under the spell of Illusion. I had fallen in love with the things that were not in alignment with Source, and thus allowed myself to be taken down the gilded pathway of Illusion where absolutely everything is possible, even if it is not practical or within vibrational reach. The result was that I felt unfulfilled.  “Is this it?  Is this all there is?”  It took me a couple of days to come to grips with the fact that graduation was not what I had hoped it would be, but I also gained some valuable insights into how the Law of Attraction and our own vibrational match points work.

Everyone has wants and desires, and this is what drives us to create new and better experiences in our lives.  Whatever that desire is, you must first take a look at how well you match the desire vibrationally, and then make the needed adjustments in order for your vibration to come into alignment with the desire that you have.  Since you cannot attract anything that is outside of your vibrational range, it is a futile attempt to try and attract something that, at least for the time being, cannot be yours.  It will only bring you great frustration.

The healthier thing to do is to start by reaching for something that is within your vibration. Accept the present with gratitude, and as you lift your vibrational range, all the gifts that are yours from the Universe will start flowing into your experience.  The campus of the school where I graduated from is a beautiful campus.  All of the Jacaranda trees around the school are in full bloom, giving off their sweet perfume.  I was surrounded by my loving family and friends, and I have many good memories that have been captured forever through the invention of the photograph.  I worked long and hard to get what many people have taken for granted, and that makes the moment all the more sweet.  I don’t need the Romanesque buildings, the Ivy, the heralding trumpets and that special smell.  I’ve got the real thing, and I thank the Universe for helping me get what I desired for so many years.

Maybe you too have fallen under the spell of Illusion at one time or another.  If so, I’d love to here your story!

paradox

When you become a student and practitioner of the Law of Attraction, you come to realize that there are easy parts to accept, and also that there are parts that take some faith to accept. For example, if you want proof that Law of Attraction works, focus on feeling better for 30–60 seconds, and notice how you gain access to thoughts that feel even better. Focus on something for a day, and notice yourself finding unlimited thoughts that support the topic. Give a topic your full attention for a week, and you will feel it building and multiplying in your vibration. Focus your undivided attention on something for a month and see how it manifests in your life in multiple ways. The proof is in the changes you see and feel, and you gain momentum the more you do it.

But sometimes we all get stuck, and it feels as if nothing is changing. This is the paradox. If you give your undivided attention to something you want, you will see proof of progress in somewhere between 30 seconds to 30 days. But if you have something you have been wanting for much longer, you may have been missing a key step to manifesting everything you want: imagining that you already have it right now!

But wait, you say, how can I feel like I have something that I don’t have? And that’s the key…if you feel like you have it, Law of Attraction can deliver it to you in a real-life manifestation in 30 days or less. So if you think about the thing, and then feel bad that you don’t have it, and then desire it even more, and then feel worse that it hasn’t come to you yet, you get into a cycle that feels like being stuck in the same place. What you have to do is take a leap of faith: feel the joy of having it right now.

Let’s take weight loss as an example of this paradox. If you have decided that you want to lose some weight, then your first step is to simply notice what you say to yourself in your thinking on the topic of your weight. If you have been trying for a while to lose weight, then your thinking will have some contradictory vibrations. Sometimes you will feel optimistic about losing weight, and sometimes you will hate thin people, and you will feel guilt, shame, and even sadness around your present weight. Law of Attraction responds to all of this, and you get into a “two steps forward, two steps back” cycle. It seems like nothing is changing. Once you catch yourself in this cycle (and you will), just laugh at your thoughts and remember that they are simply thoughts.

Your goal is to reach for a thought that feels true, but that also allows Law of Attraction to work in your favor. The thought “I am exactly 120 pounds” might be too much of a stretch. But the thought “I am attracting my perfect weight” might have a ring of truth for you in this moment. Love the thought in this moment. Eventually you will find thoughts that feel true, and that reinforce the reality of the condition you are manifesting. You might think “my clothes fit so well, and I look great. People treat me like a very healthy person.” If you hold this kind of thought it will manifest in 30 days or less. It’s feeling good NOW that matters, and also staying in a good-feeling place on the topic.

The paradox is simply stated: If you want something, feel good about it now, as if you already have it. Experience the joy of it now, in your vibration. Don’t focus on NOT having it…feel like it’s yours already. When Law of Attraction hears “this is my reality,” it agrees every time and brings it to you quickly and expertly. Be well, feel great, and enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP
