A few days ago, I was conversing with a friend after church about what his plans were for the rest of the day. The conversation went something like this:

Me: “So, what do you have planned for the rest of the day?”

Friend: “Oh, I’m going to go and watch my granddaughter’s soft ball team play.”

Me: “That sounds like fun! How old are they?”

Friend: “They’re between seven and nine years of age.”

Me: “Are they a good team?”

Friend: “Not really. They are at the bottom of their league!”

Me: “Ouch! That must not be good for morale.”

Friend: “Actually, they don’t care. They aren’t there to win any big awards, or be the best in the league. They are there to have a good time and enjoy each other’s company. Winning or losing doesn’t even cross their minds!”

I had an immediate thought at this point. Why can’t life be this way? Why can’t we NOT worry about having everything “work out” and just have fun with each other, and let the Universe take care of us? So I decided to give it a try. Instead of worrying about my relationships, and where they were going, I let go of that and just had fun with them. In place of working to get approval from my colleagues, I accepted that they already approved of me, and made our work together a thing of play. I relaxed, and trusted that Law of Attraction was lining me up with the vibration of what I wanted. Guess what happened? All of my relationships have taken a positive step forward. In fact, one of my friends remarked to me about the positive “change” he has seen in me this week. The work that my colleagues and I were doing seemed to just fly by as if guided by an invisible genie. Seemingly impossible situations magically worked themselves out all by themselves, without my having to invest any energy at all. I didn’t worry at all about how good I was, how effective I was, or even if I was getting these Law of Attraction principles down correctly or not. I simply realized that it is a wonderfully automatic system that works to perfection every time. We need not worry about being finished with the process, because WE are a never-finished process. We are eternal beings. There is always something wonderful and new to learn, and we can learn everything in our own perfect time. We don’t ever have to worry about winning, because we have already won. We already have the prize. All we need to do is to enjoy our process…enjoy all of it…the people, places and things in our lives, and just have fun. Enjoy the prize!  -Lee

Leading Lady: Wakes up in the morning in bed, jumps up, stubs toe and says “ouch! I am so clumsy! One of there days I’m going to really hurt myself!”(Law of Attraction hears “I am asking for more pain today. I deserve it. This happens all the time. I am ready for a serious accident”)

Director: “OK, CUT! That was well-acted, and quite dramatic, but the line is ‘ouch! Well I can tell I’m not dreaming anymore. Today I’ll get all my clumsies out right away. It’s gonna get better from here, I can tell.’” (Law of Attraction hears “I am expecting this to be my last accident today. The day will get better and better. All is well”)

Leading Lady: Walks into the bathroom and looks in the mirror, evaluates appearance and says “This diet isn’t working at all! I look like a fat slob. Diets never work for me. I’m going to die fat!” (Law of Attraction hears “I am fat. I suck. Don’t bring me anything else except what I have. I am unworthy. No matter what I eat, don’t send me any evidence of progress. Death will be my only resolution to this problem.”)

Director: “OK, CUT! We already shot that scene over and over again. This is the plot twist where she realizes that things are going to change. The lines are ‘I don’t see a huge change, yet, but I know this new diet is working. I feel thinner, and I know every cell of my body is letting in the new, thinner me! I can’t wait to see myself tomorrow. Soon everyone will be able to see what I am feeling right now. Look out world, the new me is here!’” (Law of Attraction hears “I am expecting this diet to work. I will see a manifestation soon. I am on track to allow what I want. People will tell me I look thinner today.”)

Leading Lady: Interacting with someone in the grocery checkout line. Notices that the cashier is nervous and making mistakes. Speaks these lines to the person in line: “Look at this cashier. Is she stupid or what! Why don’t they train them better? How come when you are in a hurry you always get in a line with an incompetent cashier? I mean really, I need to see the manager. This is ridiculous!” (Law of Attraction hears “Bring me stupid cashiers. I attract untrained cashiers to me. I always shop in stores that don’t care about the customers. I’m ready for a big fight with someone, and the sooner the better. Bring me someone to unload on, please.”)

Director: “OK, CUT! Those are the lines of the person in the next aisle in another movie. This scene sets up the leading lady meeting her soulmate in the parking lot in the next scene. Can you play it a bit easier? Your lines are ‘Look at that cashier. She seems a bit nervous. I don’t recognize her. I bet she is new on the job. I remember when I got my first job, and I remember how it took me a while to come up to speed. She is doing the best she can. I appreciate that they have those scanners. It makes the whole process go by so much faster. I found some good sale items, and I am glad it will ring up with the sale price automatically. In a week I bet she’ll be zipping through customers. I always get in the right line, just by intuition. My timing is perfect today.’” (Law of Attraction hears “I am always in the right place at the right time. I appreciate people for where they are in life, and I give myself a break as well. All is well. You can bring me everything I want right now. I am ready and willing to give my love and gratitude to everyone, and I see and draw to me others who vibrate like me.”

The scenes are ongoing in your experience everyday, in every moment. Law of Attraction responds to your vibration and not your words, so it hears what you are feeling, and simply agrees with what you feel. Are you satisfied with the message you are sending to the Universe, which is being constantly matched by the Law of Attraction? If not, take control and redirect your scenes. You choose it all. Be Well, Marie

And aligning is what your job is…once you have asked. So you realize that your money is running out, and you ask for more, and then you feel better, and then…BAM…an unexpected bill comes in the mail. And then you spiral downward into the asking vibration again. You might even pile on and reinforce the feeling with words “I’ll never get out of this mess,” or “what’s the use, I am destined to be broke forever.” These words are a natural outpouring in a step one, asking moment. But your job is to reach for statements that feel a little better, and to see if you can move closer to the receiving of the prosperity.

Receiving anything is connected to your ability to feel as if you have it NOW. You must do your best to imagine it, talk about it, take actions related to it, and enjoy the feeling of having it…in the present moment. Law of Attraction matches you with whatever you are vibrating, and you can’t receive your prosperity when you are so very aware of NOT having enough. But how do you feel like you have enough when you clearly don’t have enough? It’s all about feeling better.

If you are depressed about not having more money, see if you can feel angry about it for a few minutes. If anger is achieved, reach for something…anything…that gives you some relief. Maybe worry feels better. Only you know for sure. But keep reaching. The emotional/vibrational scale looks something like this:

Joy/Knowledge/Empowerment/Freedom/Love/Appreciation/Bliss
Passion
Enthusiasm/Eagerness/Happiness
Positive Expectation/Belief
Optimism
Hopefulness
Contentment
Boredom
Pessimism
Frustration/Impatience/Irritation
Overwhelment
Disappointment
Doubt
Worry
Blame
Discouragement
Anger
Revenge
Hatred/Rage
Jealousy
Insecurity/Guilt/Unworthiness
Fear/Grief/Depression/Despair/Powerlessness

Once you feel yourself getting to at least hopeful, you are nearing the place where Law of Attraction can bring you what you have asked for. When you get into this range, I recommend that you fuel it a bit with some specific affirmations that help you maintain the feeling, and that even increase it to a better-feeling level. Here are a few of my favorites:

1. I always have enough money. When I am in need, something comes through at exactly the right time.
   
2. Unexpected income is speeding toward me right now. I fully accept this fact and receive the gifts today.
3. I am always provided for in every way. I am content and expectant. I know good things are on the way right now.
4. I expect to see evidence of my new prosperity today. I will look and see this evidence, no matter how small.
   
5. I bless my path today, and I expect more to come to me. I am open to receiving gifts beyond my wildest dreams.
6. I have asked, and now I allow my well being. I feel ready to receive strongly right now.
7. Bills or no bills, I love this life, and I relax into my prosperity. All is well.
8. I am grateful for my perfect timing in all things. My expanded income is rushing into my consciousness. I am rich in so many ways right now.
   
9. Love and light and expansion are who I am. I am ready to receive expanded riches and wellness.
   
10. My work is done. I relax and allow money to flow to me. I act on inspiration as I feel it. I am powerfully connected to my wellness.

When you repeat these words, let yourself enjoy their vibrational pull. Don’t doubt it, but rather enjoy the feeling of having everything you want right now. Be childlike in your imagination. Have fun with it. The bills should not keep you from feeling better right now, and if you allow and let this process work for you, a vibrational manifestation of prosperity MUST be your experience. It is Universal Law. Once you feel better, the “real world” will shift and you will see hard and fast evidence of your creation through the contrast. Let it happen, don’t doubt it, and be well and prosperous today. Chris-GP

I have a wonderful piece of chiseled and painted stone (pictured here) hanging in my house. The text is a quote from Buddha Skakyamuni (b.624 BC): “We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.” For people who are just coming to know and understand the Law of Attraction, it seems like a New-Age revelation. These laws are as old as Source Energy, and though you may be discovering them recently, humans on planet Earth have been aware of these laws for a very, very, very long time. The idea that we create our reality through our thoughts has been documented and discussed as long as records have been kept, and the same message is interwoven throughout most every religious tradition, and even through scientific inquiry. Movies like “What The Bleep Do We Know?” report how science is just beginning to prove that our thoughts have a concrete and real affect on physical matter. Science is showing that everything is energy, and at certain levels, everything is interconnected. When you change one aspect of anything, and hence its vibration, the change ripples out and affects everything within its frequency. The Universe is expanding and expanding and expanding!

When I was in middle school, I picked up a book called “The Nature of Personal Reality” by Jane Roberts and Robert Butts. I read it cover to cover and then started on the next “Seth” book in the series. By the time I was done, creating your own reality made perfect sense to me. It’s not about deciding to create your own reality through your thoughts…but the realizing fact that you DO create reality through your thoughts, even if you don’t know you are. If you are thinking, you are creating, period. It makes sense, then, to pay attention to the way you are creating. The evidence you have is clear and concrete: the life you are living right now arose from your thoughts in the past. Do you like your life, right now? If you do, stay focused in the manner you have been focusing. Enjoy the ride. If you don’t like what you have manifested, then begin noticing the ways you talk to yourself and others. What kind of stories do you tell in your head to yourself? Are you kind and optimistic when giving yourself advice? Are you kind to others? It is human to beat yourself up every now and again…but there is no need to make it your full-time job! If you can notice when your thoughts feel good and reflect your desires for a better life, and when they contradict your intentions for a better life, you can begin to give more energy and attention to the thoughts that will create the life you want. There is no emergency. You can perfect this little by little for eternity. Just begin by noticing and redirecting. Over time, you will see the evidence of your new and more consistent (and joyful) thinking. Your life will thrill you, and you will be exactly where you need to be…right here…right now, with no worry for anything else. Enjoy this most amazing day! CHRIS-GP

If I am going through my day and then I suddenly realize that I am disconnecting from Source Energy (I can tell because I am irritated or basically pissed off about something), my first step is simply to acknowledge what is happening. I don’t try to fix it, nor do I beat myself up for the way I feel. Instead, I ride out the feeling and I do my best to truly feel it while it is happening. Once I notice it and ride it for a little while, feeling it and simply observing, I wait for it to loose some of it’s energy. That’s right…as long as I don’t feed it with thoughts that feel worse, it is going to run its course and dissipate a little.

Once my pissy attitude has let down a little, then I have the opportunity to clean it up. What I do is look for any thought that feels better than the one I was just thinking. If I was really upset, this first thought will not sound great to an outside observer. It might be a thought of hatred, anger, revenge, or whatever feels better than what I was feeling in the first place. But I continue to reach and feel, and observe and reflect. In little time, I start feeling optimistic again, and then I am off to the races!

Once I get hold of an optimistic thought, then I have access to tons of thoughts that actually feel good. I can then move into gratitude, expectation, belief, happiness, passion, love, appreciation, and even bliss. And once my day moves into a thought-feeling of “Optimism” or higher, then everything seems to start falling together in a positive way. I develop perfect timing, and I become really productive in my job or tasks for the day. Law of Attraction works all day, every day, no matter how you feel. It simply lines you up to experience life according to how you feel on average. So if you think and feel, and think and feel, and reach for thoughts that are optimistic, Law of Attraction will match the vibration and expand your experience to the level of optimistic. Life simply works out, and you become one of the “lucky” people that seem to be in the right places at the right times.

So if you feel less than optimistic, no worries. Feel your feelings, let them be what they are, don’t pile on and make it worse or beat yourself up…and then reach for the relief of a better-feeling thought. It feels bad to feel bad, and it feels oh so geed to feel good. You have the choice to experience your life the way you want it to be. So today, climb your way up to feeling good, because good feels…well…Good!

Happy New Year, and please…Be.Love today! Hannya-GP

Think about the things you are wanting to attract into your life: health, wellbeing, a new relationship, prosperity, a new job…whatever it may be. You can’t get there from here. The reason you don’t have it is because you are vibrating (sending out a signal to the Universe) as a person without it. You may be confused at this point because of all our posts about being present and living in the NOW. You may ask “how can I live in the now and hold a vibration different than the one I have now?” Indeed, this is a paradox. The trick is letting yourself feel the feeling of being or achieving the new thing in this moment. This is different than seeing yourself achieving or being this thing in the future. Another way to think of this is to realize that you are not attracting something new to you, but you are instead changing into a new person who has the new thing. When you say “I’ll be different when I have money,” the implication (vibration) is “I have no money.” You can’t get there from here.  But you can allow yourself to feel prosperous NOW, and to feel like the new person NOW, and to take action like a prosperous person NOW, and to be in a new vibration of prosperity NOW. You will have moved from here to there, to a place where you can feel like the new person with the new and present vibration, and Law of Attraction can then bring the full manifestation into your awareness very quickly. Be willing to change, and be playful about your thoughts. Linger in feelings that feel good while you think them. Even a little shift from where you are, into a direction of where you would rather be, will harness the Law of Attraction in very powerful ways. Try this approach and let us know what you experienced. Enjoy this most amazing day. Chris-GP

Today, pay even greater attention to how you feel when you offer your words to yourself and others. Try to feel what message you are sending out to all corners of the Universe. Know that you are asking for more of how you are feeling…and make it your sincere desire to feel good as much as possible. Feeling good puts you in a place where your positive words can match your vibrational asking. Then you can get even more excited about how your life will unfold, thrill you, and expand in amazing ways that will spiral upward and upward. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP

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 NOT pay so that she could pay. I resisted. She finally said to me that “she who pays has the power of giving, but she who receives has the power of receiving.” 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.

It was hard for me to not pay. It was difficult to enjoy letting her pay…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. And when I receive, I receive fully, without guilt or shame or worry, the amazing gifts being offered. 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 you 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

But what about if you don’t love your job, or what if you really dislike your job? You have two choices. You can use this feeling of unhappiness to launch a new desire for a better job, and then you can be ready to act when the time for inspired action arrives. Or you can just complain, tell a sad story to anyone who will listen, and whip up an amazingly disconnected feeling every time you think of your work. Obviously only the first choice is the productive choice. But it can be difficult to see something positive inside something you have whipped up to a negative feeling/vibration.

Remember that the Law of Attraction can only bring you more of what you have, so it is never in your best interest to perpetuate a story that feels bad. Instead, you have to tell a different story to anyone who will listen. You have to look for the small things you love about your job that you might have been subconsciously ignoring. Take these small things and turn them into BIG things. For example, you may not enjoy attending meetings in your job. Instead of waking and dreading the day because of a 1:00 PM meeting you have to attend, be grateful for the coffee break you will have with your friend at 10:00 AM. Create an inner dialogue that is playful, even for tasks that are repetitive. I know that when I have to, say, stuff 1,000 envelopes I find some sort of game to play, with my own made-up rules and with crazy goals that make me laugh. To someone watching, it looks like I am just going about my business and working. But my inner thinking is amusing me to no end. If you hate your job, remember that you have the real power to sustain that vibration or to change that vibration. You can make your vocation your vacation, with just a little change of focus and with a little bit of redirection in your inner speak.

And here’s the most important part of all of this. If you are stuck in a job you dislike, and you find a way to love it and enjoy it…it’s highly likely that you will be offered another job that you like even more. When you hate your job, the Law of Attraction will keep you in it because it matches you with more of what you are experiencing. You may be fired, but you will attract another job you hate. So if you choose (right now) to love your job more, then more opportunities for work you enjoy will be made available to you in very short order. Do what you love and love what you do…as much as possible…and let the magic or your life take a firm hold and amaze you with every turn. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP

Your perception is just like this story. As humans on planet Earth we are not supposed to see the whole room. If we didn’t have a way to focus our attention we would be overwhelmed and not be able to see anything. We have an ability to focus our thoughts in a single direction, like shining a flashlight in a dark room. What ever we shine the light on (or give our attention to) becomes illuminated as part of our “reality.” Whatever we look at becomes our point of attraction, and Law of Attraction tirelessly sends more of the same to our experience.

People who don’t get this will shine their light on all kinds of things that they don’t want more of. They feel it is their duty to “see what’s in the room.” But if you use your focus to look for things you don’t want, or that don’t feel good when you look at them, you are increasing the energy of these things and making them stronger in YOUR reality. Everything is real…that you give your attention to. And there is nothing that can get your attention that you don’t shine your light on. There is nothing lurking in the darkness that is trying to “get you.”

So relax and use your power of focus wisely today. Keep scanning the room until you see things you want to see, and then stay on them for a while. It’s not your job to clean the room, or to keep others from looking at what they want to. Isn’t it great to really know this? Aren’t you grateful and appreciative that this is how the Universe works? I am!! Have fun and enjoy your day. Be.Love, Hannya-GP
