In an attraction-based Universe where the Law of Attraction is always working, nothing can be in your experience that you haven’t invited in vibrationally. It is not necessary to speak or think certain words to establish your vibration..it happen automatically every time you think, act, and feel. Your vibration is the sum average of what you give your attention to over time, so no single thought, feeling or action will change your overall vibration right away. But each thought, feeling and action does count toward the whole, and the best way to see how you are vibrating (and attracting) is to take an objective look at the manifestations in your life right now.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Me: “Are they a good team?”

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

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

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

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

But for the Universe, there is no such thing as the word “no.” When you say “no,” the Universe only hears “yes.” But how can this be? This is because we live in an inclusion-based Universe. The Law of Inclusion dictates that anything that you give your attention to becomes part of your vibration, and then the Law of Attraction gets to work to give you more of it. In other words, you can’t push anything away from you and your vibration…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 “This is a problem” and agrees with you, and sends you more of it because you gave it your attention.)

Instead, focus on your mind’s highest image of a solution that does not include the problem. That last sentence is worth reading again. Remember that you can’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.

But if no one works to rid the world of drugs, crime, disease, and poverty, won’t these things get out of control and multiply? Not in an inclusion-based Universe. The problems will dissipate and lose their energy as connected people all over the world act on their inner wisdom from connection to Source, and follow their intuition to promote clarity, peace, wellness, and prosperity.

What are you for, and what are you against? Now that you are more aware that you are actually for the things you thought you were against, 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 “yes” to all of it, even when you shouted “no” at it. Be easy about it, and when you must say “no” just get off the thought and turn to something you can say “yes” to as soon as possible. Be for things from now on, and let them flow to you effortlessly over time. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When you give freely, and when you feel good about your giving, you set up an expectation within your vibration that Law of Attraction 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 give a lot so that you can be worthy to receive a lot. 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) Source Energy and wellbeing is natural and not dependent, necessarily, on how much you give. You don’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 “weight and balances” 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. Law of Attraction works its best magic when you feel good…so timing your giving can be important. Feel good first, and then feel better through your giving.

When I take my morning walks along the beach, I usually visit a coffee shop about three miles into the walk. It’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’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’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.

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 grateful and appreciative 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

1. What is prosperity, and how will you know when you have it?

2. Why do you want prosperity, and what will you do with it?

3. What will being prosperous feel like?

Question one has a simple answer on the surface: prosperity is money, and I’ll know by the bottom line on my bank statement. It is true that prosperous people are often monetarily rich, and it is also true that it is hard to think of prosperity apart from income. But haven’t you met some very rich people who feel poor? Haven’t you observed happy people who have next to nothing? It can be said, then, that feeling prosperous is a relative thing indeed: for some people, no amount of money will make them feel prosperous enough to be happy. Maybe prosperity comes in other forms as well, and perhaps prosperity can be better defined as being happy with what you have, while expecting more to flow to you. Maybe prosperity consciousness is all about being rich in thought, action and feeling, and allowing the riches to flow through many varied channels. You will know you have it because you will be living a life that is rich in gifts, and you will be open to happily receiving these gifts in each moment.

Why do you want to be prosperous, and what will you do with it? This is a harder question for many people to answer. Can you answer it off the top of your head? From a young age we have been conditioned to chase after money, and many of us can’t even say what we want the money for. Sure, you can pay bills, buy a better car, and live in a better house…but when all this is done, then what? Why do you want it? Will you help others with it? Will you give some away? Will you will it to your kids? There is no right answer, but what ever your answers are will give you insight into the motivation behind your pursuit of monetary prosperity. Focusing on the good that the money can ignite can help it flow to you more easily into your experience. Broadening your definition of “prosperity” to include any gift that makes your life richer can also help more of it flow to you effortlessly.

What does it feel like to be prosperous? I immediately think of the word “freedom.” I think many people want to be rich so that they can be free to live as they choose. But as I stated earlier, there are many “rich” people who do not feel free. In fact, big dollars often come with problems that are just as big. Some very wealthy people have no time to enjoy their money, and they constantly strive to arrive at a place in time where they can finally relax into their prosperity. There are also unhappy poor people, I know. But the saying that “money can’t buy love or happiness” does hold some truth. I believe that true prosperity feels like fun, excitement, richness, joy, love, passion, and bliss. If you are rich in thought, action and feeling, you are receiving prosperity in a multitude of ways: in the eyes of children…in the smiles of friends…in the job you do…in the beauty of music and art…and even in the majesty of a sunrise. A prosperous person feels rich and free, and they expect it to continue. A prosperous person knows that all is well, and if they want more green stuff too, the Law of Attraction can easily line them up with more money as well. It’s always about how you feel. Feel rich…become rich…in every area of your experience!

This post was inspired by the AMAZING sunrise I witnessed recently outside my house. I gave great thanks and appreciated the light show, and it felt like a living work of art was unfolding before my eyes. I wondered how many other people who were watching the sunrise were feeling as prosperous as I was. Just being there and receiving the gift of the moment, I felt like the richest man on the planet. It didn’t change my bank account necessarily, but it filled up my appreciation and gratitude tank to full for sure. I am grateful for the prosperity that allows me to live fully and love fully. What are the gifts of prosperity that are already in your life right now? Do you perceive them? Are you open to receive them? Do you give thanks for them? If you are, then you are rich indeed. Enjoy this most amazing day! Chris-GP

1. Notice pain or stiffness in your body. When you notice it, turn the emotional corner and breathe into the pain or stiffness. See yourself adding light and love and gratitude into the stiff area. Imagine it releasing and relaxing. This really works if you stop and really do it, I promise.You will feel better.

2. Notice how you talk to yourself. As you move through the day, pay attention to the words you use to talk to yourself. Do you praise your actions and feelings, or do you “talk down” to yourself? Do you say “nice interaction…I have perfect timing” or do you more often say “hey dummy, that was a stupid thing to do.”? If you are not being kind to yourself, turn the emotional corner by affirming that you aren’t perfect, and that you are doing the best you can. Change words that criticize into words that uplift. Let your view of yourself match the view that your inner being has about you. Your inner being loves you and knows you are exactly where you need to be right now. You will feel better.

3. Notice how you talk directly to others. Your vibration is also affected by the way you interact with others directly. Are you kind and uplifting to the people you see everyday? It’s easier to be kind to friends and family as opposed to the annoying cashier at the market. But your vibration (and emotional state) depends on how you handle the annoying people too. Can you find something to like about them? Can you see yourself in them somehow. Turn the emotional corner by giving them credit for who they are, and by feeling grateful for the service they are providing to you. You will feel better.

4. Notice how you talk with others ABOUT others. It is easy and tempting for two people to put down a third person, especially if that person is not present to hear it. It can feel good to agree with a friend that another person is ugly, stupid, inappropriate, or incompetent. But if you say these things, the experience won’t raise your vibration much, and soon you will feel the lowering of your vibration too. Turn the emotional corner by refusing to criticize others, even when someone is egging you on. The best way to do this is to start saying nice things about the person instead of degrading things. Or just don’t say anything at all. You will feel better.

5. Notice when you are clumsy. This is a real step. A sign of your disconnection can come through stubbing a toe, dropping a glass, hitting your head while turning, or by spilling a cup of hot coffee. When these things happen, stop and turn the emotional corner by affirming that you have some negative emotion activated. Simply take a deep breath and feel gratitude for your inner guidance that let’s you know when you are disconnected. Say “thanks” and move ahead a little more slowly and thoughtfully. Maybe you can also stop and close your eyes and collect yourself as well. Forgive yourself for attracting the spill, accident, or clumsiness, and move on ahead with confidence and humbleness. You will stop the chain of weirdness and you will surely feel better!

Try these ideas today. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post. Lisa

1.     Be impeccable with your word.

2.     Don’t take anything personally.

3.     Don’t make assumptions.

4.     Always do your best.

The first agreement, “Be impeccable with your word” is not easy to understand at first.

impeccable |imˈpekəbəl|
adjective
(of behavior, performance, or appearance) in accordance with the highest standards of propriety; faultless : a man of impeccable character.
• rare Theology not liable to sin.

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 Law of Attraction, and if you remember that LoA responds to your vibration, the “word” 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 point of attraction. When your thoughts and words are in alignment with your Source Energy, then you feel a strong connection and flow which is translated into an experience of feeling good. Another way to say this is: if you use words that align with Source, 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 Source.

So what does Source Energy 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 Law of Attraction to manifest everything you have been wanting. Source Energy 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 Source, 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…but you have to think like your Source…and hence you must agree to “Be impeccable with your word.”

Being impeccable with my word means, to me, doing my best to love myself and everyone I come into contact with. It means abandoning “put down” 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 Source 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.

I hope this helps you decipher this first agreement a little. I am grateful 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
