Hello Everyone! I was doing my yoga routine this morning and came to a new understanding of how allowing works. Remember that the Law of Attraction (LOA) works in a three step process: You Ask (automatic), Source Answers (not your work), and You Align With The New Vibration (your work, and only your work, and your only work!). I talked about this in a past post. You can read that post by clicking HERE if you like. I added a step to the three-step process ’cause I think people need to relax more and let themselves feel good while doing this. These were my “new” steps to make Law of Attraction work for you:

1A. You Ask (automatic through living on planet Earth)

1B. Make Peace With Where You Are, Who You Are, And What You Have. (your business)

2. Source Answers (not your work)

3. You Align With The New Vibration (your work, and only your work, and your only work!)

Yet today, I had a new insight. You can do this even sitting at your computer. I was doing yoga, and I went into a pose and was holding it. Sometimes I go really deep into the pose, and sometimes I go in just enough to notice a little resistance in my muscles. When I go really deep, it can really hurt. If I go in just a bit, it is more of a dull sensation, and not really painful. Now, I decided today to just go into a stretch only enough that I noticed a little amount of resistance or sensation. As I noticed the resistance (step ONE A), I stayed there and changed my focus to my breathing and away from the resistance (step ONE B) and then affirmed that Source Energy had created a new me that had no pain in this stretch (step TWO), and then I noticed the resistance disappear! (step THREE). So in little more than 20 seconds I went from feeling resistance, relaxing and making peace with me, and allowing the new me without the resistance. Yoga actually means “union” and is a practice for going in and understanding yourself and the Universe better.  It is supposed to be a path to wellbeing and expansion. Now I get it! And it’s not about stretching farther than I can. It’s about going to my edge and expanding with joy where I am. WOW!

If you have things in your life that you can’t figure out how to allow, why not practice allowing smaller things, and then work on up to the bigger things? This stretching/yoga (I’ll call it a meditation) technique gives you almost instant gratification, and works on exactly the same laws that create and allow more friends, cars, relationships, prosperity, ocean-front homes, and the like. Get good at allowing wellness in the here and now, and the bigger things will be on the way very soon. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post!  Lisa

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 I offer a short list of Gratitude and Appreciation for the Thanksgiving weekend. I hope it inspires you to do the same. Be.Love, Hannya-GP

1. I had a great breakfast, complete with my favorite beverage.

2. I was able to exercise, and it felt soooo good!

3. I spent some quality time with my sister.

4. I easily completed all the work I had on my plate.

5. I took a nap.

6. I appreciated the weather…sunny and warm today.

7. I enjoyed the comfort of my condo and the peaceful feeling it gives me.

8. I talked to people close to me.

9. I had thought about how wonderful tomorrow will be as well.

10. I am able to communicate all this to all of you.

Julian Roberts character brought this idea:  “Whenever you think of someone, send them love and light and move forward with your own life.” This resonated within me, because I had heard it many, many times before and have made it my practice to do so with everyone that I have come into contact with. Practicing this concept, interesting things have happened for me over the years.  For one, I began noticing that, for a while, I was feeling very good about the idea of sending someone love and light whenever I thought about them.  In practice, I would get a huge swelling in my breast whenever I did this practice as though I had just done something completely amazing, and that I [here’s the cue] was a better person for doing it.  How smug was I?  After a while, however, I started feeling more and more of a drain on my own energy.  I started thinking “it seems that I give and give and give, and everyone just takes and takes and takes.  Surely this isn’t the way it is supposed to be.”  I kept thinking “I must be doing something wrong, but what could it be?”  Then, this last week, the answer came.

I went on a retreat with a bunch of my colleagues in the San Bernardino Mountains for some workshops, and much needed bonding.  One night, after all the workshops were done, a group of people started playing a game.  Everyone sat in a circle, with one person standing in the center of the circle.  Each person in the circle had a specific gestural sign that they had come up to represent themself, such as pointing their index finger to their nose, smiling widely, touching the rim of their hat with their thumb, etc.  Everyone in the circle showed everyone else in the circle their chosen sign, so that everyone in the group would know everyone else’s sign.  The idea of the game was this:  One person was chosen to be “it.” Another way of saying this is that one person in the circle was chosen to be the person with the “hot potato.”  This was all done while a person standing in the center of the circle had his or her eyes closed.  After the person was selected, the person in the center was then allowed to open their eyes.  The person in the middle of the circle then had to determine who in the group was “it.”

Here’s how it worked:  The chosen person sitting in the circle who was “it” had to pass off “being it” to someone else in the circle without the person standing in the middle seeing them do it. If the person standing in the middle suspected who was “it” they simply could ask “is it YOU?” and if they were right, the caught person became the new person in standing in the middle and the game started over. So the game is all about discretely passing gestures while the person in the middle doesn’t see it. (for those who may want to play this, you pass being “it” to someone by flashing THEIR sign to them, and they accept being “it” by flashing THEIR OWN sign back to you. Then they are “it.”) It takes intense concentration and observational skills for all players to follow who exactly is “it.” I watched this game for several rounds, and even participated in a couple of rounds before retiring to my room for some much needed sleep.

I was drifting off to sleep when all of a sudden, the Universe spoke!!  I wasn’t doing anything wrong in the sending part of my practice of love and light……..I was failing to be a receiver! In this game that I saw, once your sign was shown to you, you needed to show you were receiving it by showing your sign back.  I was sending everyone that I knew, loved and respected, love and light, but I was failing to receive their love and light back in return. This realization took on a whole new perspective for me, as I saw the whole design of what the Universe and even the Law of Attraction was trying to tell me all along.  I saw that I was sending out my desires, requests, and wants, and then was not allowing myself to receive what I was wanting, requesting and desiring.

At that moment, I decided to let in all of the love and light and gifts that not only others were trying to send me all this time, but also that the Universe had been longing to give me for years.  I even discovered that a key important point is to let in the love and light and gifts that my own extension of Source Energy is wanting and desiring to give me.  Needless to say, I didn’t get much sleep that night, but I arose the next morning completely renewed and ready to receive all of the signs, signals, light and love that we all have to give to each other, as well as receiving all the light and love I have to give to myself.  I decided to Eat, Pray, and Love in a more powerful way. I decided……..to be “it.” With love and light to you all, Lee

Law of Attraction is managing all of this for you, of course, and there is no way that anyone or anything can keep you from attracting the things that you are a vibrational match to. In fact, everything you attract into your experience is a vibrational match to the average signal you have been sending out. If you will get into the mind frame that everything is a match to your signal, then you will no longer blame others if something less-than-great comes into your life. Instead, just say “that’s a match” and go on about your business. Likewise, when great things happen to you, say “that’s a match” also. It’s great to know that no matter what happens to us, we have personal responsibility for attracting it.

Some might say, “I didn’t ask for a car accident, so how did I attract THAT?” The answer is that you ask with your thoughts AND your feelings, and the Universe answers your most practiced vibration with things that match the essence of these feelings. Another way to say this is that you don’t ask with words much of the time…you ask with the average tone of how you feel. You can attract a car accident by feeling disconnected, unempowered, angry, unfulfilled, or anything that feels like these vibrations, even if you have occasional dances with bliss and connection.

So the key is, what are you feeling most of the time? Do you choose thoughts that feel good, or do you whip up thoughts that feel bad when you think them? Again, the proof of how you have been feeling, whether you realize it or not, is what shows up as manifestations in your life. Laugh and say “that’s a match” as often as you can. If you don’t like the match you got from Law of Attraction, reconsider what you have been giving most of your attention to. Shift your attention, and watch as you get a different manifestation in your life. Once you get a handle on how this works, you will be free to create a relationship, money, health, and general prosperity with the creativity and effectiveness of a great artist or an amazing architect. YOU will become the conscious creator of your experience, and then life will become all the more sweeter. Enjoy this most amazing of days!  Be Well, Marie-GP

1. There is no shortage of Source Energy. It exists in abundance and will never run out.

2. You are worthy to receive Source Energy. There is no test to pass to make you worthy. It is yours for the taking, and it is free.

3. When you allow Source Energy to flow through you, you have everything to give. When you are disconnected from Source Energy, you have very little to give, and what you try to do from sheer work won’t make as much of a difference to others.

4. When you are motivated without being connected to Source Energy, people will be less inspired by your words and actions. Your intention to uplift others will be watered down. When you are inspired through your connection to Source Energy, people will sense your enthusiasm, your genuine gratitude and appreciation, and your full belief that all is well.

5. The Law of Attraction works the same if you are connected to Source Energy, as it does if you are NOT connected to Source Energy. So it is impossible, by Universal law, to attract something different than your own vibrational offering. Through your conscious connection to Source Energy, you set the bar that determines your power, expansion, allowing, and value to others.

The insight I received the other evening happened when I was feeling good while talking over dinner. The conversation was fun and expanding, and I had so much to say that felt good while I said it. At one point the conversation, for what ever reason, turned to a topic that didn’t feel as good. Without thinking, I joined in and helped the conversation feel worse and worse, adding comments and stories that moved me away from my Source Energy. I started moving down the vibrational scale until I felt pretty disconnected and even sad. I could see that my friends were also feeling the “buzz kill” of the conversation.

Now, from my disconnection I decided to uplift the table by saying things that felt a little better. However, I was trying to offer these words before I felt better myself. Saying the words actually made me feel worse, and I could tell that it felt awkward to the others too. So then I remained quiet for a short time, maybe two minutes, and just thought thoughts of gratitude and appreciation. Talking to myself felt easier than trying to change others from my point of disconnection, and within two minutes I had a good-feeling vibration rolling again.

My next offering to the group was met with smiles and felt like it made a positive difference to the vibration of the group. Notice today when you move ahead in your connection to Source Energy, and when you just move ahead to make something happen. Start being more sensitive to the way you feel when you are working, and when you are flowing with Source. Flow more, work less, and be filled with love and gratitude. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP

Lie quietly in your bed and close your eyes. You should be ready to drift to sleep. Create a present-tense statement that reflects something you are going to receive while you sleep. Let it be one sentence that feels good when you say it. If it is job related, you could say: “My co-workers always enjoy my leadership, and we are a fantastic team.” If it is prosperity related, you could say: “Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts.” If you are wanting more friends, you might say: “I’m always in the right place at the right time to meet new and interesting friends.” You get the idea.

Now, what you do is you say the statement to yourself, in your mind, while feeling the truth of the statement. Have no doubt that you are allowing this thing to be attracted to you through the Law of Attraction. The first time you say the statement, emphasize EVERY word, and feel each word as a confirmation of the thing you are allowing. See each word in your mind. For example, if you use the statement for prosperity above, it might flash through your mind like this:

MONEY AND ABUNDANCE FLOW TO ME IN EVER-INCREASING AMOUNTS

Feel the truth of this statement. It is coming to you in this moment. Then, say it again emphasizing only the first word:

MONEY and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts.

Again, feel deeply the truth of this statement. It is coming to you in this moment. Then, say it again emphasizing only the second word:

Money AND abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts.

Continue in this pattern until you emphasize each word of the affirmation in order. Finally, emphasize the whole sentence again. The whole sequence would look like this:

MONEY AND ABUNDANCE FLOW TO ME IN EVER-INCREASING AMOUNTS!

MONEY and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!

Money AND abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!

Money and ABUNDANCE flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!

Money and abundance FLOW to me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!

Money and abundance flow TO me endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!

Money and abundance flow to ME endlessly in ever-increasing amounts!

Money and abundance flow to me ENDLESSLY in ever-increasing amounts!

Money and abundance flow to me endlessly IN ever-increasing amounts!

Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in EVER-increasing amounts!

Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-INCREASING amounts!

Money and abundance flow to me endlessly in ever-increasing AMOUNTS!

MONEY AND ABUNDANCE FLOW TO ME IN EVER-INCREASING AMOUNTS!

At this point, relax and enjoy the fact that your mind is focused, your work is done, and your only job is to let the power of sleep do its work while you rest and receive. Look for evidence of the affirmation throughout the whole next day. You will see it. If you like the feeling of the statement, repeat it again for several nights. There is no need to do more than one statement a night. Just do it once and believe in the truth of it. Let the Law of Attraction respond to your asking without you having to “make it happen.” Enjoy, allow, receive, be grateful, and rest. Be.Love. Hannya-GP

Today try looking for yourself in other people that you see, meet, and interact with in any way. When you do this, appreciate them for who they are, and look beyond appearances to discover aspects of their vibration that match yours in any way. The Law of Attraction has brought them into your reality, so there must be something about them that connects with you on some level. Have an intention to know more about the connection, and let your intuition guide your knowing. Play this game for just a day and you will start to appreciate others for their unique diversity, and also for their expression of Universal truth spoken through the senses of the human experience.

You may even feel, as I have at times, that you are meeting another incarnation of yourself in a different race, gender, or generation. It may bring up emotions of love, appreciation, or gratitude…or any other emotions. Go with it, and just enjoy the sense of fun and connection it brings to your day. Thanks for those who have been sharing their successes with us through posts or through email. We enjoy reading all about it. Be.Love  Hannya-GP

As you move through the day, see how the Universe is lining you up with the essence of abundance and prosperity, and then savor and enjoy it. Perhaps you get a call from a friend to house sit, and then they also need you to run a few errands in their car as well. Notice that you are suddenly living in a nicer house than the one you rent, and that the car you are driving is much like the one you have imagined as your next car. It’s yours now! I know you might say, but the point is that it’s NOT mine. That IS the problem. And if you look at it that way, then I agree that you have a problem. When you see these things as reminders of what you DON’T have, you move away from your stuff. When you savor it as an added expansion in your present experience, you help allow your stuff to come to you.

What I am suggesting you do today is notice how the things you want are in your experience today already. You have friends when nice people chat with you in the grocery line, and you have beautiful things to appreciate in stores, even if you choose not to buy them right now. Your new car is suddenly everywhere you look, and your new relationship is just behind every smile you see in others. Savor these gifts of abundance and tell yourself that it’s all here right now. This will keep you feeling good and open to receiving everything you want. Thank you so much…    Be Well, Marie-GP

For all of our Gratitude Planet community located outside of the United States who might not know it, today is Independence Day in the US. It’s a day to reflect on all the gifts we have, all the people that we appreciate, and the freedoms we enjoy in an open society. People are generally off work and are gathering with friends and family for a cookout and a local parade. It’s the perfect day to whip up some Gratitude and Thanks, and now is the perfect moment to let the horses run on a rampage of appreciation and gratitude.

Start with Thanks. Wherever you are right now, take two minutes and mentally list everything you can think of that you are thankful for. Your inner monologue may be something like “Thank you for the weather today, thank you for the air I am breathing, thank you for the clothes I am wearing, thank you for the eyes I use to see, thank you for my mind that helps me think, thank you for the …..” You get to decide what feels best to you.

Next take two minutes to be Grateful. It might go something like this: “I am grateful for my job (or job prospects), and I am grateful for my amazing living space that feels so good to be in, and I am grateful for my interactions with others, both in person and in cyberspace, and I am grateful for my coffee maker that creates a perfect morning drink for me, and I am grateful for…” Again, the words you choose are the right ones for you. Next move to Appreciation. Appreciation feels a little more connected than Gratitude, which is why you should move through Thanks, to Gratitude, and then to Appreciation.

So now, take two minutes and mentally list everything you appreciate. Don’t worry if you repeat some things that you have already said. Your inner monologue may be something like “I appreciate my spouse who loves me so much, and I appreciate my body and all its health and wisdom, and I appreciate my dog who always seems connected and free, and I appreciate Source Energy and its consistent flow of well-being into my experience, and I appreciate…”

If you do these three simple exercises, you will feel a shift in your vibration. You will move up the Vibrational Scale. Your cork will begin to float again…and you will definitely feel an expansion in the way you feel. You will be able to move into love and bliss. You will have done the inner work required to change your world for the better. You will be able to carry this vibration into your whole day. Enjoy the freedom you have to feel better today, and as always, enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP
