When you decided that you wanted more money and prosperity in all areas of your life, you probably came to that conclusion through not having enough. In fact, the less you have, the stronger your asking becomes. When you ask strongly through the experience of contrast, you create and draw to you the perfect solution in proportion to the asking. The circumstances that caused you to want more don’t magically disappear once you have asked strongly and the Universe has answered, however. There is always a buffer of time between the asking and the receiving. This is a good thing, because if there was instant manifestation, the world would be a chaotic place of drastic changes and you would not have the security of aligning with the vibration in real time.

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

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

You can probably think of something that you wanted and couldn’t seem to get: better health, a great job, a spouse, more money, a new car, clarity, or whatever…your awareness of not having it struck a chord in your vibration, and you probably became uncomfortable or irritated in the acute awareness of the absence of the thing or condition you desired. But through this uncomfortable feeling, you were given the gift to focus on a solution, and the solution was made possible by this brief but uncomfortable ride of contrast. The important word in that last sentence is brief, because it is so important to remember that nothing is permanent.

Life on planet Earth is just a temporary and constantly changing experience, aided by Law of Attraction. Our purpose is to be joyful creators. Our natural state is to be connected to Source Energy, and our desire is to be happy and expanding. We never get “there” because there is no “there” to get to. Once you get “there” you get yet another new perspective that calls you forward. In reality, there is only NOW: one ever-changing, ever-expanding version of YOU that exists, and that will always exist in some vibrational expression. Why then, do we get so caught up in worry about where we have been, where we are, and where we are going?

When contrast becomes my experience, I first just feel the emotion. I let it run through me as anger, irritation, fear, or what ever it feels like. Then I remember that nothing is permanent, and that I can count on the feelings passing and changing to different feelings. I can bank on the fact that whatever bliss or contrast I feel right now is but a slice of where I’ve been and where I am heading. It is simply the experience I am having right now, and a new NOW will always come to re-seed my vibration in a different way. This is how I relax and remember to give thanks and appreciation for whatever I am experiencing, even when it doesn’t feel great. I remind my self that “this too shall pass” and I let myself reach for the best thought I have access to.

Whatever you are living right now, it will pass and be replaced by another feeling and experience shortly. So why not live fully in this moment? Why not expand and be all that you can be, even if you feel a little uncomfortable? Why not let yourself relax into more wellbeing? Nothing is permanent, so live fully right now! Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP

Law of Attraction

snarky |ˈsnärkē|
adjective ( snarkier, snarkiest) informal
(of a person, words, or a mood) sharply critical; cutting; snide : the kid who makes snarky remarks in class.
• cranky; irritable : Bobby’s always a bit snarky before his nap.

So if you feel snarky most of the time, and you talk about things in terms of your disappointment with the present, it makes sense that Law of Attraction will line you up with more critical, cutting, snide, cranky, and irritable experiences for you to “enjoy,” even when you feel happy for a few moments at a time. The key to all of this is to turn the emotional corner and find a way to feel better more of the time.

Feeling better is the key, but changing your behavior is the goal. If your life is not thrilling you enough, you have to change the input that creates your point of attraction, and then Law of Attraction will also work for you in more pleasing ways. Here are a few tips for turning the emotional corner, and all of these ideas can make you think, act, and feel differently.

1. Exercise more. Take a walk, run in the woods, or get on a stationary bike. While you exercise, tell yourself: “I am opening to my greater health, and my body is very wise. I give myself love and health, and I receive love and health from the Universe.” Feel every cell in your body respond to your affirmations. You are turning the emotional corner.
2. Eat Better. No matter what you have been eating, change your diet a little. The phrase “you are what you eat” is a good rule of thumb, so if you want to feel differently, try eating differently. Do a juice fast, or a true fast. But a cook book and make some new meals that you haven’t made before. notice that the food makes you feel differently. You are turning the emotional corner.
3. Talk Less. That’s right. Talk less. If your point of attraction has you lining up with things you don’t like, you are probably in a habit of talking about things in a disconnected way. Talk less, and listen more. Even observe the way you talk to yourself in your own mind. Be kind to yourself, and love yourself more. Let whatever cognitive dissonance your have going melt into awareness of your perfect relationship to love and allowing. You are turning the emotional corner.
4. Practice Optimism. While you are talking less and observing your thoughts more, turn your thoughts into better-feeling, more positive statements. Make it a game, and enjoy the process. Fr example, if you are doing something and you are beating yourself up, do it a little less. If you say “I really suck at this,” notice, laugh to yourself, and think again. Say “do over” and tell yourself “now I may suck at this, but I am getting better and better with every try. Soon I will suck less at this.” minor change…big vibrational shift. You are turning the emotional corner.
5. Stop “should-ing” on yourself. Do you do things just because you “should?” Doing this can evolve into acting by default, and living out patterns of actions and thoughts that mess up your pint of attraction. Do everything because you choose to, and not because you feel you should do it. I would wager that at least 20% of the actions people choose are by default because they feel they are supposed to do it that way. Get your “should” together. You are turning the emotional corner.

See if doing all of this makes a difference to the way you feel. If it does, you are turning the emotional corner. When you think, feel and act differently then your life must change. I look forward to hearing about your successes. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP

When you are living your day and you are feeling good, it is as if you are sitting in a boat that is safely moving, or is docked in safe harbor. All is well, and you have no contrast to knock you out of your safe place. But when you experience something that makes you feel bad…you expand and create a better (vibrational) reality for yourself. In this analogy, it like you get tossed out of the boat into the open water. However, you are still connected to the boat by a water ski rope, and you are wearing a pair of very nice skis. The boat represents the new reality you have created, a reality that you are connected to, but that you can’t enjoy right away because it is ahead of you. But your connection to it gives you several choices of action. You can pull yourself toward it and eventually hop back in, and this is a good choice. You would focus on the new condition until you achieved vibrational harmony with it. With the help of Law of Attraction, you would be sitting in the boat very quickly. Or you can just wait and see what happens.

In real life, the ski boat begins to move. If you decide to resist the motion forward, you get dragged by the boat. The weight of the water on your body and skis is difficult to endure, and in short order you come to realize that life is a drag. Your choices now are to keep suffering the drag of the boat, or to turn toward the boat, get your feet under you, and stand up and ski. The moment you do this, the resistance goes away, and you rise above the drag of the water. You start using the water to move ahead, and the boat becomes your sustaining power. Life becomes fun again and you start sailing toward your new condition. In fact, the thrill of skiing becomes the new condition, and you are connected to Source and living again in bliss within the Vortex. Soon you will be sitting safely back on the boat again.

Life, through contrast, causes you to want something better for yourself. Once you expand and create this new thing, you have no choice but to stand up and ski. You can’t let go of the rope in this analogy. The more you resist going with the flow of the Universe, the more and more you will notice the drag of the water. And you will always be expanding. The only real thing to figure out is how to keep up with yourself and your personal expansion.

Is your life a drag sometimes? Mine is, and I know yours is too. Why not make the choice to turn toward the things you want, and away from the things holding you back? Go with the flow, turn in a positive direction, and start skiing! You will be amazed how much fun you were missing, and you will remember that you have the ultimate choice to ski or to get dragged. Choose joy, fun, gratitude, appreciation, and bliss! Thank you so much…    Be Well, Marie-GP

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…

1. I appreciate the sunshine today.
2. It’s summer, and I love the summer.
3. I am grateful for the time to exercise my body today.
4. I appreciate you focus I have with my mind, and the happiness I feel for others.
5. 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

“Things just always seem to work out for me!”

I say this, or some form of this, throughout my day. Sometimes I say it verbatim, and other times it sounds something like this:

• I always get a parking space.
• My timing is perfect today.
• Everything is unfolding perfectly, one step at a time.
• I need not rush because I am guided to be right on time.
• I attract to me everything I need today.
• Life is helping me be successful today. I open to it’s gifts.
• I am always in the right place at the right time.
• I find the open freeways every time.
• My work will get done exactly when it needs to get done, and with ease.

You get the idea. Do you ever tell you self that things DON’T work out for you? DO you ever say the sentences (above) but in the negative? Say yes, because we all do this at times when we feel contrast and disconnection. But if you reach for thoughts that feel like the ones I listed, you will approach the Vortex more, and everything you want and desire can be connected with from inside this Vortex of creation and connection. Get there through feeling good, and the rest will work out. Start saying that things always seem to work out for you. Believe it. Feel good about it. Be relentless, and let your life expand to embrace your every wish. Time to board my flight. Thank you Universe for this WiFi and this opportunity to share these thoughts with the Gratitude Planet Community. I knew I would find the time and resources to get this post up today. Everything just seems to work out for me! Enjoy this most amazing day. Chris-GP

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

Do you know that right NOW there exists a very real, yet-to-be-released version of YOU? Did you know that this upgraded version of YOU has all the functionality and conveniences that you have been hoping for? This newer generation of YOU is designed to be the perfect advance over the present version in every way. It was created by YOU, for YOU, and is awaiting your permission to be released into your present by…you guessed it…YOU! How can this be? Let me explain.

When you live your life, you have many experiences that cause you to feel different emotions and feelings. Some emotions feel really good, and others feel not-so-good. These two kinds of emotions can be referred to connected or disconnected vibrations. When you feel any emotion you send out a vibration to the Universe, and this vibration is matched by the Law of Attraction and sent right back to you. If you feel connected on average over time, you begin to see more and more evidence or things appearing in your life that help you feel connected. People are nice to you, parking spaces appear, and traffic flows swiftly in the direction you need to go. Likewise, if you feel disconnected on average over time, you will feel the weight of the world working against you in various ways that will encourage you to feel more and more disconnected. You will have things break, people will appear snarky, and you may sit in traffic often. So it is always in your best interest to choose thoughts that help you feel connected on average, because Law of Attraction is matching your vibration, so the better it gets, the better it gets. But wait, you say, I can’t feel connected all the time. Am I messing up my life when I feel disconnected? The answer is no, disconnection will happen. It’s how you handle disconnection that makes the difference.

When you have a disconnected moment, you are acutely aware of what you DON’T want, because you are living a crappy-feeling experience of what you don’t want. Your vibration races out and is heard by Source Energy. But while Law of Attraction starts bringing you more disconnection, Source Energy gets to work creating the new version of YOU based on what you have concluded you DO want through your disconnection. This new version of you (we’ll call it 2.0 for fun) is completed and ready for you to upgrade to whenever you choose to. It is waiting for you, and it is calling you. The only problem is that you have to move away from the vibration that created it (disconnection) and into a new vibration (connection) so it can arrive to you. This means literally turning from the old version to the new version even before the new version appears. (OK, now you are really confused, right?) Here’s an example to help clarify:

You want to lose weight, and you see a picture of yourself looking HUGE and then you feel horrible (disconnection). You want more than ever to be slim, trim and healthy, and you are pissed off about your present state. Law of Attraction brings you people feeling about the same way you do: fat and out of shape. But Source Energy creates the 2.0 version of you through the disconnected experience, and you now have a slim, trim, and healthy version of yourself ready to emerge. But if you keep focused on what is, you can’t allow what you have created. If you tell the same story, feel the disconnection of the present, and get discouraged all the time, you can not let the new version of YOU become your new reality. The key is to start feeling thinner, tell thin stories, and feel better as much as you can. Look for images of health and abundance, and picture in your mind’s eye the new version 2.0 you have created in vibrational reality. It’s real. It’s ready for release. If you are doing this consistently, you will know because Law of Attraction will start sending you people that are losing weight (or who have lost weight), and who are feeling good about their physical image. You will find yourself feeling better and better around this topic. Just relax and allow the new you to arrive to you. Be happy to release old patterns, no matter how comfortable they may feel. The latest and greatest YOU is here. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

When you can’t have something that you think you should be able to have, it makes you want it even more. In that wanting you send out a strong signal, and Source Energy hears your transmission every time. Once Source gets a hold of your message of “I want this new condition because I hate this present condition” it literally creates and becomes the newest and best version of the condition you want. At this point what you want starts calling you toward it through events, inspirations, and clues embedded in your daily life. Your job at this point is to align with the vibration of the new condition and turn from the contrast that created it in the first place. You have to leave behind the circumstances of the birth of the desire to embrace your present experience of the desire. If you want it, you have to be one with the solution, and not keep living the problem over and over again.

If you have some contrast you are experiencing today, just say “yea…I really know what I don’t want here, and now I know that the solution has been created too.” Take a deep breath and be easy about it. It will all work out, and by being easy about it you will make the solution rush to you faster. In my case, I know the comments function will be back soon, and when it is there will be some more cool things to allow into the Gratitude Planet experience as well. The solution has been created, and I can’t wait to see how it manifests. Writing this post has moved me up the Vibrational Scale a little, and I feel better. I hope it has helped you as well feel just a little bit better. We’re all in this together. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP
