<!-- End BidVertiser code --> </div><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>

<!-- End BidVertiser code --> </div><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>

		<description><![CDATA[You surely remember the old saying "It is better to give than it is to receive." I heard that phrase very early in my life, and I have always been interested in giving to others when I can. I think we all occasionally struggle with how much giving and receiving we should do, and at times I have been better at one or the other while trying to balance both. Back in October there was a GP post about giving and receiving, and I want to expand on that post a bit today. Another GP post in October by Hannya also related a great giving-receiving story. You may want to read (or re-read) these before digesting today's topic if you have the time.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/giving.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1750" title="giving" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/giving-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>You surely remember the old saying &#8220;It is better to give than it is to receive.&#8221; I heard that phrase very early in my life, and I have always been interested in giving to others when I can. I think we all occasionally struggle with how much giving and receiving we should do, and at times I have been better at one or the other while trying to balance both.</p>
<p>When you give freely, and when you feel good about your giving, you set up an expectation within your vibration that <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em> matches: you feel worthy and ready to receive. When you understand this give-and-take of energy and see it play out a few times, it can be tempting to work to <em>give a lot</em> so that you can be worthy to <em>receive a lot</em>. The problem with this approach is twofold. First, you are already worthy to receive, and your worthiness is never in question. You can feel more worthy or less worthy, but you ARE worthy. Secondly, receiving (or allowing) <em><strong>Source Energy</strong></em> and <em><strong>wellbeing</strong></em> is natural and not dependent, necessarily, on how much you give. You don&#8217;t give to earn your right to receive, and no one keeps score in some far-away vibrational database. The energies of giving and receiving are intertwined, but not in a &#8220;weight and balances&#8221; type of equation. But there does seem to be, in my experience, a direct benefit to giving and receiving freely as the opportunities arise. The key is not to give to make something happen, but rather to give because it feels good to give. <em>Law of Attraction</em> works its best magic when you feel good&#8230;so timing your giving can be important. Feel good first, and then feel better through your giving.</p>
<p>When I take my morning walks along the beach, I usually visit a coffee shop about three miles into the walk. It&#8217;s a Starbucks in a grocery store, and sometimes there are some very needy people near the store. Occasionally they will ask for change, but other times they just keep to themselves. This situation represents a great opportunity to see how I feel in the moment about giving. If I feel resistance to giving money, I don&#8217;t. If I feel open and connected, I do. On several occasions I started my walk and decided that I would buy some food at the grocery and give it away to the first hungry person I encountered. On each occasion, I couldn&#8217;t find anyone to give it too, and one of those times, I swear, the guy vanished. I realized that I was trying to do something that was not a natural unfolding, and I felt worse walking home with the food in my arms. Now I wait to see what opportunities the day brings to give and receive, and I move ahead when I am inspired, knowing that I will be in the right place at the right time always.</p>
<p>Finally, giving is not just about money and food. Giving freely can include giving compliments, smiling, holding a door open for someone, noticing a kind gesture, leaving an uplifting note, singing a song, answering an email, and a million other possibilities. Receiving freely might include being <strong><em>grateful</em></strong> and <strong><em>appreciative</em></strong> for compliments, smiles, doors held open for you, kind gestures, uplifting notes, songs you hear, emails you receive, and a million other possibilities. Giving and receiving are ways you live, not things you do. Expand your vibration to give and receive freely and often today, and enjoy how great you will feel all day. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/begin_to_find_inspiration_mousepad-d1440026535699867277pdd_400.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1696" title="begin_to_find_inspiration_mousepad-d1440026535699867277pdd_400" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/begin_to_find_inspiration_mousepad-d1440026535699867277pdd_400-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>I sometimes find myself disappointed about something I have done, or that has happened to me&#8230;and I can&#8217;t seem to get it out of my head. I will replay it and I will think about it, and I will sink into feelings that feel worse and worse. We all get this way at times, and when we do we need a little something to reverse the downward spiral. I like to use this technique called &#8220;I&#8217;ll begin again&#8221; because it is about letting go of the past and launching fresh into the NOW. We are eternal beings, and the essence of eternity is that it is never ending. If our existence is never ending, then we will never be complete, nor can we ever be forever &#8220;wrong.&#8221; There is no place or time when you will be able to say &#8220;finally, I am done&#8230;I am perfect and complete.&#8221; You will always be launching new desires that are incomplete, and you will always be reaching for more and more expression, expansion, and joy.</p>
<p>So when something doesn&#8217;t go your way, don&#8217;t fall into the trap of feeling like you have messed up forever. Instead just announce to yourself, or anyone who will listen, &#8220;I&#8217;ll just begin again.&#8221; Remind yourself that the past is already gone, and that you are on a never ending journey. Just begin again. And again. And again. Remind yourself that where you have been has no bearing on where you are and where you are going. Begin again. See yourself charting a new path toward everything you want to attract through <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>. Begin again. Breathe. Begin again. Love. Begin again. All is well. 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 first 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&#8217;t read Part 1 of this series, you can click <a title="The Four Agreements (Part 1)" href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/2010/11/23/learn-to-be-more-agreeable-with-yourself-part-1/" 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 &#8220;reality&#8221; 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 first agreement, <em>&#8220;Be impeccable with your word&#8221;</em> is not easy to understand at first.</p>
<p>impeccable |imˈpekəbəl|<br />
adjective<br />
(of behavior, performance, or appearance) in accordance with the highest standards of propriety; faultless : a man of impeccable character.<br />
• rare Theology not liable to sin.</p>
<p>Does it mean that you have to only use certain words, or that you have to monitor your speech in ways that feel unnatural? Not at all. If you think about the <em>Law of Attraction</em>, and if you remember that <em>LoA</em> responds to your vibration, the &#8220;word&#8221; takes on a more profound meaning. The words you think to yourself, and that you speak to others, create a vibrational average that we call your <strong><em>point of attraction</em></strong>. When your thoughts and words are in alignment with your <strong><em>Source Energy</em></strong>, then you feel a strong connection and flow which is translated into an experience of <em>feeling good</em>. Another way to say this is: if you use words that align with <em>Source</em>, you feel good. In fact, if you feel emotions that feel less-than-good, you can be sure that you have been practicing thoughts that are not aligning with your <em>Source</em>.</p>
<p>So what does <em>Source Energy</em> think about you and anyone in this reality? That is the million-dollar question, because it is the key to feeling good, being in the flow of life, attracting the life you want, and using the magic of <em>Law of Attraction</em> to manifest everything you have been wanting. <em>Source Energy</em> loves you. It knows that you are good, and it knows that you are worthy. It sees the best in others, it sees the best in you, and it knows that you are perfect in your eternal imperfection. It rejoices every time you expand and become more than you were. It understands that the purpose of life is joy and expansion. It uplifts, loves, expands, and celebrates every moment. Get in the flow of <em>Source</em>, and you feel good. Feel good more of the time, and you attract more things that help you feel good. It is a cycle of thinking and feeling that has no upper limit&#8230;but you have to think like your <em>Source</em>&#8230;and hence you must agree to &#8220;Be impeccable with your word.&#8221;</p>
<p>Being impeccable with my word means, to me, doing my best to love myself and everyone I come into contact with. It means abandoning &#8220;put down&#8221; thinking that normally accompanies gossip. It means reaching for a better-feeling thought more of the time. It means leaving behind preconceptions of myself and others in exchange for vibrational offerings that align more and more with what my <em>Source</em> thinks. It implies that I look for the best in every situation. If you are impeccable with your word, you will not suddenly be perfect. But you will make a new agreement with yourself that will help you feel better and better. You have no eternal cosmic commitment to be disconnected, feeling bad, or a negative realist. You can choose to think the way that feels best, and the door through which you must walk is via your personal word.</p>
<p>I hope this helps you decipher this first agreement a little. I am <strong><em>grateful</em></strong> for this information, and also for the opportunity to bring it to you through my perspective. Happy New Year, be well,  and enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP</p>

			<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>

		<description><![CDATA[Next, it is important to remember why we benefit from exercise in the first place. We are all familiar with the oxygenation of the blood, and the lengthening and strengthening of muscle groups. But this is a website about the Law of Attraction, right? How does this all play into health and fitness? Glad you asked! We know that what you experience is a direct result of the thoughts and vibrations you offer over time. To be healthy, you have to either feel healthy, or offer no resistance toward your wellbeing. We also know that contrast creates a desire and an asking that in turn causes your expansion into greater wellbeing. In other words, you can either simply allow your well being by feeling fit and healthy, or you can create an expansion through a particular kind of contrast we will call "exercise!"]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/running.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1588" title="running" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/running-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>Everyone knows that daily exercise is good for the mind and the body. We all understand that fit people are active people. Yet, it can be difficult to get yourself up and out of the house and exercising every day. There are a million excuses NOT to be active, but in reality, none of them hold up under the slightest bit of scrutiny. I had a music teacher once who told me during a percussion lesson: &#8220;if you want something done on time, give it to a busy person.&#8221; His point was that busy people manage time well, because they have no time to waste. The people who never have enough time, and who never get caught up, and who feel the real stress of time management are often (but not always) the same people who waste a lot of their own time. I have found that the more I think and rationalize about the time I have available for exercise, the less I seem to exercise. But when I go right out&#8230;no real debate with myself&#8230;I can get out and get going on my fitness regimen. So the first step to benefiting from exercise is to (and stealing a famous advertising phrase) &#8220;just do it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Next, it is important to remember why we benefit from exercise in the first place. We are all familiar with the oxygenation of the blood, and the lengthening and strengthening of muscle groups. But this is a website about the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>, right? How does this all play into health and fitness? Glad you asked! Remember that what you experience is a direct result of the thoughts and vibrations you offer over time. To be healthy, you have to either <em>feel</em> healthy, or offer <em>no resistance toward your wellbeing</em>. We also must remember that <strong><em>contrast</em></strong> creates a desire and an <strong><em>asking</em></strong> that in turn causes your expansion into greater wellbeing. In other words, you can either simply allow your well being by feeling fit and healthy, or you can create an expansion through a particular kind of contrast we will call &#8220;exercise!&#8221;</p>
<p>This particular kind of self-inflicted contrast (called exercise) is very beneficial and effective. Try it and see what you think. Lace up your sneakers and go for a run. If you feel tightness in your muscle&#8230;how exciting&#8230;you are creating a body that is tension-free. The improved body now exists vibrationally, and it is yours to allow into your present. Next, you might feel your breath begin to get faster and more shallow. Yippee! That &#8220;out of breath&#8221; feeling just created a more fit you, because you can&#8217;t help but ask for better fitness when you are out of breath. It is yours to allow and manifest! Your interaction with the contrast called exercise is indeed making you more fit&#8230;and the powerful asking you do when you feel this physical stress on your body is benefiting you greatly. Just remember to relax and allow the expansion you have created as soon as you recover from your run.</p>
<p>Lastly, remember that the real work of fitness comes from the feeling of fitness, and if you don&#8217;t feel fit&#8230;you can not achieve fitness. <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> brings you experiences of fitness when you feel fit, period. As I implied earlier, you can skip exercise and just feel fit, <em>and you will be fit and healthy.</em> But few people can pull off fitness without feeling like they earned it. There is nothing quite like a long run, bike ride, or day of skiing to help one feel worthy of the vibration of fitness. It is probably much easier to &#8220;just do it&#8221; and be active in terms of letting in a feeling of health. It&#8217;s my plan to let my exercise expand my health through physical contrast, and then to relax and appreciate everything in my life. It&#8217;s the perfect One-Two punch for me. It will most certainly work for you too. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/permanent_marker_1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1559" title="permanent_marker_1" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/permanent_marker_1-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>Lately I have been becoming more and more aware of the power of <strong><em>contrast</em></strong> to create desire. Normally, I feel like I have a pretty good handle on my life, and I feel like I live in ease and flow much of the time. But lately I have had some gifts from the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong> that reminded me that there is more expansion waiting for me at all times. These gifts came in the form of <em>contrast</em>: events that made me want something more than ever <em>through the experience of not having it</em>. You see, when you can&#8217;t have something you want, then you want it even more. The experience of wanting it and not having it has forced me to think about it quite a bit, and I can feel a new perspective brewing inside my consciousness by the minute. I know that my attention to the subject has caused me to expand, and I am <strong><em>grateful</em></strong> for this expansion.</p>
<p>You can probably think of something that you wanted and couldn&#8217;t seem to get: better health, a great job, a spouse, more money, a new car, clarity, or whatever&#8230;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 <em>brief</em> but uncomfortable ride of contrast. The important word in that last sentence is brief, because it is so important to remember that <em>nothing is permanent. </em></p>
<p>Life on planet Earth is just a temporary and constantly changing experience, aided by <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>. Our purpose is to be joyful creators. Our natural state is to be connected to <strong><em>Source Energy</em></strong>, and our desire is to be happy and expanding. We never get &#8220;there&#8221; because there is no &#8220;there&#8221; to get to. Once you get &#8220;there&#8221; 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?</p>
<p>When <em>contrast</em> 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&#8217;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 <strong><em>thanks</em></strong> and <strong><em>appreciation</em></strong> for whatever I am experiencing, even when it doesn&#8217;t feel great. I remind my self that &#8220;this too shall pass&#8221; and I let myself reach for the best thought I have access to.</p>
<p>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</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Law of Attraction reads this dissonance and hears something like "I am in conflict with myself. I am like a house divided."

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/healthyOldAge.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1515" title="healthyOldAge" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/healthyOldAge.jpg" alt="" width="298" height="209" /></a>I heard someone talking the other day about how a decline in health is normal as you age. The statement me think about all the people I know who fit this belief, but also about those that do not. I personally know people who are completely well and thriving, and some are young and some are quite old. Likewise, I know people who are not well&#8230;some of whom are young and some of whom are old. So it seems that if wellness and health must decline in age, there is evidence that the decline does not happen at the same rate for everyone. There must be variables that make this difference real, and I would guess that most, if not all, of these factors are related to things that we can control if we choose to.</p>
<p>We are told by health professionals that good nutrition and exercise are important to good health, and we are bombarded by the media with health-conscious ads and shows to remind us of the wellness that is available to us. If we just buy their products or do their program, or buy their food, we will be instantly healthy and well, right? Certainly eating right and exercising ARE important to wellness. But what about healthy thinking? What part do the thoughts you think play on your health and well being? They probably play a huge part!</p>
<p>So what do I mean by &#8220;healthy thinking?&#8221; In the same way that you wouldn&#8217;t put poisons in your body on purpose, you don&#8217;t have to default to poisonous thoughts either. Poisonous thoughts make you feel worse and worse, and often they have self-deprecating tones like &#8220;I am a loser,&#8221; or &#8220;things never work out for me,&#8221; or &#8220;I&#8217;m not good enough,&#8221; or &#8220;no one likes me.&#8221; Any thought you think that feels like these statements actually causes a cognitive dissonance to be created in your vibration. You see, <strong><em>Source Energy</em></strong> never thinks about you the same way that those poisonous thoughts feel, and when you feel different that <em>Source</em>, you feel bad and worse. You move down the <strong><em>emotional/vibrational scale</em></strong> as you move away from <em>Source Energy</em>. Over time your body and mind take a beating from this dissonance of vibration, and it eventually will show up as a physical symptom of some kind: a cold, a headache, a sickness, or even a dangerous accident. <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> reads this dissonance and hears something like &#8220;I am in conflict with myself. I am like a house divided.&#8221; You then manifest events and experiences that match this vibration. You will miss your chances for success and you will not feel the magic that could be in your life.</p>
<p>Your thoughts are just as important as eating and exercising well, and thoughts may be a major factor in the young/sick&#8230;old/well scenario that you can observe everyday. Why not feed yourself healthy thoughts like &#8220;I am getting better and better everyday,&#8221; or &#8220;things just seem to work out for me,&#8221; or &#8220;I forgive myself and everyone in my life,&#8221; or &#8220;I allow wellness as my natural state of being.&#8221; By feeding yourself more <strong><em>optimistic</em></strong> thoughts, you align with <em>Source</em>, and you maximize the vibrational harmony available to you in every moment of your life. Feed yourself healthy thoughts, and then expect wellness to be your experience. If you get inspired to eat and exercise better, go for those experiences too. <em>Law of Attraction</em> will help you expand into this new wellness by attracting new ideas, opportunities, and ideas to your experience. Eat well, move well, and think well today. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post. Lisa-GP</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Happy-chef.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1503" title="Chef's Touch" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Happy-chef-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>Here is a tip to help you allow and create the life you have always wanted: Be like a master chef in a well-stocked commercial kitchen. The <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> is always matching your vibration so that you get more of what ever you focus upon through your thoughts, feelings, and actions. This is a wonderful thing because your results, and your life, will always be an outpouring of your average focus over time. <em>You will live the life you have created</em>, even if you didn&#8217;t realize you were creating it. I find this to be amazingly empowering because I like knowing that I have complete control to guide my life and harness the forces of the <em><strong>Universe</strong></em> for joy, love, expansion, and creative expression. No one can think, feel and act for me, so what I get will always be a direct match to the average vibration I have been offering over time. I get to decide for me. Yea!</p>
<p>Once you come to the realization and conscious understanding that your life results parallel your thoughts, feelings, and actions, you can start noticing what you think, feel, and do on a daily basis. What are your habits of <strong><em>thinking</em></strong>? Do you tend to think like an optimist or a pessimist? Do you justify pessimism in your thinking by labeling it &#8220;realism?&#8221; What if &#8220;realism&#8221; is just your habit of thinking, and what if optimistic outcomes could become &#8220;real&#8221; for you instead? Would you change your patterns of thinking to look for the best in things? What are your habits of <strong><em>feeling</em></strong>? Does it feel normal for you to feel sad, irritated, frustrated, or dis-empowered on a daily basis? Are mad at everything including your spouse, boss, or your government? Your feelings are always justified, by the way. But you have a <em>choice</em> in the ways you focus your attention, and as your focus of attention changes, so will your habits of feeling. What are your habits of <em><strong>doing</strong></em>? What activities do you give your time and focus to, and do you enjoy these activities? Are you bored by the things you do, or do you feel a calling toward these activities? How you answer these questions will help you clarify your <strong><em>point of attraction</em></strong>, which is the vibrational signal you broadcast in all directions, and the signal that <em>Law of Attraction</em> reads, matches, magnifies, and aligns you with to create your &#8220;reality.&#8221; Your signal never stops, but it can change with your attention to your thoughts, feelings, and actions.</p>
<p>Imagine being a master chef in a well-stocked commercial kitchen. You can make any dish you choose to make, and you have all the required knowledge and resources at your fingertips. What will you make? The first thing I would make would be my favorite Indian meal, Saag Paneer! I would get the spinach and cheese ready, and I would savor the smells and tastes, and I would enjoy the process of creating the meal. Sitting down to this meal would be like the results of <em>Law of Attraction</em> in my life&#8230;I would get a great result based on my focus of energy and desire for specific tastes. But what if I decided to use the first ingredients I found near the stove instead? What if I decided to use literally anything I noticed? The result might be a soup with a really weird combination of tastes. It might be salty, sweet, and bitter at the same time. When I sit to eat this soup, I get to decide if my focus gave me the results I wanted. Most likely, I will enjoy the Saag Paneer much more than the haphazard soup, because I got to decide what I wanted to include more carefully, and I had a recipe to follow that I knew would lead to a successful outcome.</p>
<p>What, then, is the recipe for creating and attracting a successful life? Be like a master chef. Live your day looking for the ingredients that will make your life feel and taste good as you live it. Look for reasons to feel <strong><em>grateful</em></strong> and appreciative. Tell stories about how well things are going for you. Look for evidence of <strong><em>wellbeing</em></strong> in others, and make it a point to tell others the good you see in them. Make the best of every event. Choose to change your habits of thinking, feeling and acting so that you judge things by how good you feel, rather than defaulting to the most practiced experience or emotion. Choose the ways you express your life as if you were creating the best meal you can imagine, and refuse to include things that spoil the taste for you. Take others&#8217; opinions of what you are creating with a &#8220;grain of salt,&#8221; realizing that YOU will be the only one eating and experiencing this masterful culinary experiment. You are the chef. You get to choose. Yea!</p>
<p>I hope this image helps you see your life as an amazing opportunity to create anything you desire. Every time you reflect on how things are presently going for you, see yourself eating the meal you have crafted over time for yourself. If it tastes great, savor the flavor and keep doing what you are doing. If you crave a different diet, simply change your habits of thinking, feeling and acting until the meal takes on a new flavor and spice. You always get to choose, so choose well today. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Vortex, in Law of Attraction terms, is a state of vibration where you are connected to Source Energy. It is the state of being in alignment with who you really are. It is the state of being you experience when you are allowing everything you want to flow to you effortlessly. It is what some people call "being in the zone" or what Chinese philosophy refers to as living the "Tao." Being "in the vortex," then, simply refers to a vibration where you are flowing God-force through you, and when you are in a state of connection, joy, and appreciation. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/vortex3.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-929" title="vortex3" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/vortex3-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></a>If you do a web search for &#8220;<strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>&#8221; you will see references to something called the &#8220;<strong><em>Vortex</em></strong>.&#8221; If you haven&#8217;t heard this term before, you will probably be confused and wonder what this <em>vortex</em> thing is. The term was coined through the work of Jerry and Esther Hicks and the <a title="Website for Abraham-Hicks" href="http://www.abraham-hicks.com/lawofattractionsource/index.php" target="_self">Teachings of Abraham</a>. The <strong><em>Gratitude Planet</em></strong> staff always intends to reinforce and expand the amazing material presented by Abraham-Hicks, while adding our own unique tips, insights, and perspectives. For this reason, I want to explain briefly the <em>Vortex</em> as presented by <em>Abraham-Hicks</em> so that it can be used as a reference here, and so that you can better use the concept to enjoy and expand your personal joy as well.</p>
<p>The <em>Vortex</em> is not a place, per se, but it is easier to think of it as a place because of our physical perspective. The textbook definition is this:</p>
<p><strong>vortex |ˈvôrˌteks|<br />
noun ( pl. -texes or -tices |-təˌsēz|)<br />
a mass of whirling fluid or air, esp. a whirlpool or whirlwind.<br />
• figurative something regarded as a whirling mass : the vortex of existence.</strong></p>
<p>So on planet Earth, a vortex is just spinning air or fluid, like a tornado or a whirlpool. It is a place where these physical elements are bound up and contained in a rotating funnel. Why would you want to be in the middle of a tornado? You really wouldn&#8217;t want to be. So what&#8217;s the big deal here?</p>
<p>The <em>Vortex</em>, in <em>Law of Attraction</em> terms, is a state of vibration where you are connected to <strong><em>Source Energy</em></strong>. It is the state of being in alignment with <em>who you really are</em>. It is the state of being you experience when you are allowing everything you want to flow to you effortlessly. It is what some people call &#8220;being in the zone&#8221; or what Chinese philosophy refers to as living the &#8220;Tao.&#8221; Being &#8220;in the vortex,&#8221; then, simply refers to a vibration where you are flowing God-force through you, and when you are in a state of connection, joy, and appreciation. It is the natural state we are born into, and it is the state to which we all yearn to be in more often. It isn&#8217;t a place, but it is a vibration. As physical creatures, however, it is easier to imagine being either in or out of this location where our connection resides. You can move toward it, or away from it, and once you are in it, everything lines up perfectly for you, and you flow the energy that creates worlds, cures illnesses, and expands your connection to every particle and consciousness in the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong>. The <em>Vortex</em> represents your path to health, wealth, prosperity, wellness, love, appreciation, expansion, connection, and your eternal self. It is possible to spend most of your waking moments in the <em>Vortex</em>, and the only thing that can keep you outside of it and disconnected from these things is YOU. How so?</p>
<p>Your attention and feelings determine your proximity to the <em>vortex</em>, and <em>you can feel your feelings and direct your focus at all times</em>. Look at something and feel how you feel. If it feels good, keep looking. If not, find something else to observe. Think a thought and feel how you feel. If it feels good, keep thinking those thoughts. If not, find something else to think about. Over time you will get really good at determining if you are feeling better or worse based on your thoughts and observations. If you get feeling good enough to feel optimism&#8230;you are entering the vortex! Once inside, if you keep thinking and feeling and thinking and feeling, you will align with feelings that feel like happiness, passion, love, appreciation, and bliss. Your life will take on a magical quality. Parking spaces will appear when you arrive at work, traffic will flow better for you, people may send you money, or events that seem like chance will work out in your favor. All kinds of cool things await you in the <em>vortex</em>. It&#8217;s up to you to get there. This is your only real work. And here&#8217;s the best news of all: you are never very far away from being in the <em>vortex</em> if you have an intention to be there. As you release your struggle and relax into your well being, you can move up the vibrational/emotional scale in minutes. Dare yourself to be in the vortex more today than you were yesterday. Everything you want awaits you. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP</p>
