<!-- 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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/movie_board.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1771" title="Clapper Board" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/movie_board-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>Hi Everyone! I was thinking today about how we create our story every day. Life is a kind of movie set where we get to decide on so many things (really everything!). I want to take this idea and illustrate a bit how you might more effectively play the Director role. <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> responds to your vibration and gives you <span style="text-decoration: underline;">more of what it hears you saying</span>. So when you experience something that doesn&#8217;t jive with your preferred version of your movie, it is time to yell &#8220;CUT!&#8221; and shoot a different version of the scene. I&#8217;ll give a few examples here of what I mean.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Leading Lady</span>: Wakes up in the morning in bed, jumps up, stubs toe and says &#8220;ouch! I am so clumsy! One of there days I&#8217;m going to really hurt myself!&#8221;<em>(Law of Attraction hears &#8220;I am asking for more pain today. I deserve it. This happens all the time. I am ready for a serious accident&#8221;)</em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Director</span>: &#8220;OK, CUT! That was well-acted, and quite dramatic, but the line is &#8216;ouch! Well I can tell I&#8217;m not dreaming anymore. Today I&#8217;ll get all my clumsies out right away. It&#8217;s gonna get better from here, I can tell.&#8217;&#8221; <em>(Law of Attraction hears &#8220;I am expecting this to be my last accident today. The day will get better and better. All is well&#8221;)</em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Leading Lady</span>: Walks into the bathroom and looks in the mirror, evaluates appearance and says &#8220;This diet isn&#8217;t working at all! I look like a fat slob. Diets never work for me. I&#8217;m going to die fat!&#8221; <em>(Law of Attraction hears &#8220;I am fat. I suck. Don&#8217;t bring me anything else except what I have. I am unworthy. No matter what I eat, don&#8217;t send me any evidence of progress. Death will be my only resolution to this problem.&#8221;)</em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Director</span>: &#8220;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 &#8216;I don&#8217;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&#8217;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!&#8217;&#8221; <em>(Law of Attraction hears &#8220;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.&#8221;)</em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Leading Lady</span>: 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: &#8220;Look at this cashier. Is she stupid or what! Why don&#8217;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!&#8221; <em>(Law of Attraction hears &#8220;Bring me stupid cashiers. I attract untrained cashiers to me. I always shop in stores that don&#8217;t care about the customers. I&#8217;m ready for a big fight with someone, and the sooner the better. Bring me someone to unload on, please.&#8221;)</em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Director</span>: &#8220;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 &#8216;Look at that cashier. She seems a bit nervous. I don&#8217;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&#8217;ll be zipping through customers. I always get in the right line, just by intuition. My timing is perfect today.&#8217;&#8221; <em>(Law of Attraction hears &#8220;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.&#8221; </em></p>
<p>The scenes are ongoing in your experience everyday, in every moment. <em>Law of Attraction</em> 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</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>

		<description><![CDATA[Law of Attraction matches you with whatever you are vibrating, and you can't receive your prosperity when you are so very aware of NOT having enough. But how do you feel like you have enough when you clearly don't have enough? It's all about feeling better.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Money.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1705" title="Money" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Money-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>When you decided that you wanted more money and prosperity in all areas of your life, you probably came to that conclusion through not having enough. In fact, the less you have, the stronger your asking becomes. When you ask strongly through the experience of contrast, you create and draw to you the perfect solution in proportion to the asking. The circumstances that caused you to want more don&#8217;t magically disappear once you have asked strongly and the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong> has answered, however. There is always a buffer of time between the asking and the receiving. This is a good thing, because if there was instant manifestation, the world would be a chaotic place of drastic changes and you would not have the security of aligning with the vibration in real time.</p>
<p>And aligning is what your job is&#8230;once you have asked. So you realize that your money is running out, and you ask for more, and then you feel better, and then&#8230;BAM&#8230;an unexpected bill comes in the mail. And then you spiral downward into the asking vibration again. You might even pile on and reinforce the feeling with words &#8220;I&#8217;ll never get out of this mess,&#8221; or &#8220;what&#8217;s the use, I am destined to be broke forever.&#8221; These words are a natural outpouring in a step one, asking moment. But your job is to reach for statements that<em> feel a little better</em>, and to see if you can move closer to the receiving of the prosperity.</p>
<p>Receiving anything is connected to your ability to feel as if you have it NOW. You must do your best to imagine it, talk about it, take actions related to it, and enjoy the feeling of having it&#8230;in the present moment. <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> matches you with whatever you are vibrating, and you can&#8217;t receive your prosperity when you are so very aware of NOT having enough. But how do you feel like you have enough when you clearly don&#8217;t have enough? It&#8217;s all about feeling better.</p>
<p>If you are depressed about not having more money, see if you can feel angry about it for a few minutes. If anger is achieved, reach for something&#8230;anything&#8230;that gives you some relief. Maybe worry feels better. Only you know for sure. But keep reaching. The emotional/vibrational scale looks something like this:</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Joy/Knowledge/Empowerment/Freedom/Love/Appreciation/Bliss<br />
Passion<br />
Enthusiasm/Eagerness/Happiness<br />
Positive Expectation/Belief<br />
Optimism<br />
Hopefulness<br />
Contentment<br />
Boredom<br />
Pessimism<br />
Frustration/Impatience/Irritation<br />
Overwhelment<br />
Disappointment<br />
Doubt<br />
Worry<br />
Blame<br />
Discouragement<br />
Anger<br />
Revenge<br />
Hatred/Rage<br />
Jealousy<br />
Insecurity/Guilt/Unworthiness<br />
Fear/Grief/Depression/Despair/Powerlessness</span></p>
<p>Once you feel yourself getting to at least hopeful, you are nearing the place where <em>Law of Attraction</em> can bring you what you have asked for. When you get into this range, I recommend that you fuel it a bit with some specific <strong><em>affirmations</em></strong> that help you maintain the feeling, and that even increase it to a better-feeling level. Here are a few of my favorites:</p>
<ol>
<li><em>I always have enough money. When I am in need, something comes through at exactly the right time.<br />
</em></li>
<li><em>Unexpected income is speeding toward me right now. I fully accept this fact and receive the gifts today.</em></li>
<li><em>I am always provided for in every way. I am content and expectant. I know good things are on the way right now.</em></li>
<li><em>I expect to see evidence of my new prosperity today. I will look and see this evidence, no matter how small.<br />
</em></li>
<li><em>I bless my path today, and I expect more to come to me. I am open to receiving gifts beyond my wildest dreams.</em></li>
<li><em>I have asked, and now I allow my well being. I feel ready to receive strongly right now.</em></li>
<li><em>Bills or no bills, I love this life, and I relax into my prosperity. All is well.</em></li>
<li><em>I am grateful for my perfect timing in all things. My expanded income is rushing into my consciousness. I am rich in so many ways right now.<br />
</em></li>
<li><em>Love and light and expansion are who I am. I am ready to receive expanded riches and wellness.<br />
</em></li>
<li><em>My work is done. I relax and allow money to flow to me. I act on inspiration as I feel it. I am powerfully connected to my wellness. </em></li>
</ol>
<p>When you repeat these words, let yourself enjoy their vibrational pull. Don&#8217;t doubt it, but rather enjoy the feeling of having everything you want right now. Be childlike in your imagination. Have fun with it. The bills should not keep you from feeling better right now, and if you allow and let this process work for you, a vibrational manifestation of prosperity MUST be your experience. It is Universal Law. Once you feel better, the &#8220;real world&#8221; will shift and you will see hard and fast evidence of your creation through the contrast. Let it happen, don&#8217;t doubt it, and be well and prosperous today. Chris-GP</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Law of Attraction is a universal law that deals with energy and vibration. Like attracts like. You are like a radio station that is constantly sending out a signal, and the Universe is broadcasting right back at you with the same signal! What ever you broadcast vibrationally as you live your day is matched, enhanced, and expanded by Law of Attraction. If you want change, you have to change your vibrational broadcast signal first, and then the Universe will change to match it. Waiting for the Universe to change YOU is a recipe for disconnection and frustration. I hope you are grasping the amazing truth in this: You have at your fingertips, right now, the ability to harness the energy that creates worlds...and it is constantly working to match and attract to you anything you broadcast. WOW!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/what-are-you-waiting-for.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1691" title="what-are-you-waiting-for" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/what-are-you-waiting-for-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>There are a lot of people discovering the <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em> for the first time, and I think it&#8217;s one of the most exciting times to be alive here on planet Earth. People are learning (or remembering) that the sum essence of their thoughts, actions, and feelings is what creates their reality. We are all coming to understand that we are eternal creators, and that we are here for <em>joy, growth, and expansion</em>. People are experiencing how a thought, practiced over time, attracts other thoughts and experiences to match it. More and more people every day are coming to trust <strong><em>Source Energy</em></strong> as a never-ending, consistent supply of love, inspiration, wellbeing, and connection. New websites about how to align with the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> are popping up every day, and there are a lot of curious souls who want to learn to live a more purposeful life of joy. You are one of them, because you found your way to this moment in time, at this website, reading these words. Welcome.</p>
<p>The <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> is not difficult to understand or harness, but there is so much information out there that is geared for different kinds of people. It appears to be much more complicated than it really is. Today I will give you an easy way to summarize the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>, and then I will give one example of how I have used it effectively to create something I wanted.</p>
<p><strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> is a universal law that deals with <em>energy and vibration</em>. Like attracts like. You are like a radio station that is constantly sending out a signal, and the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong> is <em>broadcasting right back at you with the same signal! </em>What ever you broadcast vibrationally as you live your day is matched, enhanced, and expanded by <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>. If you want change, you have to change your vibrational broadcast signal first, and then the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong> will change to match it. Waiting for the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong> to change YOU is a recipe for disconnection and frustration. I hope you are grasping the amazing truth in this: You have at your fingertips, right now, the ability to harness the energy that creates worlds&#8230;and it is constantly working to match and attract to you anything you broadcast. WOW!</p>
<p>A few years ago my wife and I moved to Southern California from the Midwest. We decided to live near the beach, and we found a great apartment just three blocks from the ocean. In only a few weeks we decided that we wanted to be not just close to the ocean, but we wanted to live <em>right on the ocean!</em> It would have been easy to find a million reasons why this would be impossible, but we understand the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>, and we set out a course to allow this desire into our lives. The key is to get aligned with your desire, and to <em>live it right now</em>. Yes, you have to live it right now! But, you say, you didn&#8217;t live on the ocean. You only lived near the ocean. You were fooling yourself. And I say, sure, we were fooling ourselves&#8230;right into a place of feeling good about our desire, and right into broadcasting a signal that the <em><strong>Universe</strong></em> could match. We talked about how great it was to live on the water, and we bought books and magazines that had pictures of the ocean, I set up an electronic picture frame with hundreds of ocean-front images that I found on line, and we even slept every night, all night, to the sound of ocean waves on the iHome iPod dock next to the bed. We made vision boards with pictures of the beach. We also created &#8220;an allowing manifesto&#8221; for this manifestation of ocean-front living. (More about that in a later post). I found myself spending many hours of inspired time looking at real estate listings, all the while enjoying the feeling of living on the water. Yes, we &#8220;fooled&#8221; ourselves into broadcasting this signal to the <em><strong>Universe</strong></em>: &#8220;we live on the beach, we have the resources to purchase a home, and we love living here.&#8221; By not contradicting our own vibrational desire, <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em> had no problem attracting to me a real estate listing that caught my eye. I immediately called the agent and set up a showing. It matched our list of criteria, and we were soon living there. But in our minds, <em>we were already living there.</em> Moving in was the last step, not the first step!</p>
<p>You can do this too. Look at the things you have been asking for. Have you been sending a signal that you already have it? Can you enjoy the feeling of living it right now? If you can do this and love having it now, you will be in the right place at the right time to have it flood to you through inspired action. I would love to hear your stories about your successes. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/dreams.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1533" title="dreams" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/dreams-300x270.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="270" /></a>Did you know that the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong> has the ability to deliver ANYTHING to you? This is an amazing realization if you are coming to this for the first time in your life. Anything you can dream or imagine has the potential to manifest into your reality. Why? Because of the power of <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>, and the incredible power of <strong><em>Source Energy</em></strong>.</p>
<p>You see, you can only attract to you things that match your <strong><em>vibration</em></strong>, and the thoughts you think play a big part in your vibration. As you think a thought, you automatically send out a signal to the <em>Universe</em>, and the <em>Universe</em> matches the <em>vibration</em> immediately, every time, no exceptions. The more you entertain a thought, and the more you think it without worry or contradiction, the more the <em>Universe</em> grabs a hold on it and matches it with similar vibrations. That&#8217;s why if you think about <em><strong>prosperity</strong></em> and <strong><em>abundance</em></strong>, and if you practice these thoughts, a Universal momentum begins to build around the thoughts. Before long several things start to happen, which I would call magic&#8230;but it&#8217;s not really magic. It&#8217;s more like a miracle that is available to everyone alive on planet Earth.</p>
<p>First, it becomes <em>easier and easier</em> to think the thought. The thought becomes a practiced vibration, and thinking the thought feels easier and better than not thinking the thought.</p>
<p>Next, you begin to believe in the reality of the thought. You begin to feel the momentum in your intuition and cellular awareness. The <em>Universe</em> whispers to you and beckons you forward into <strong><em>inspired action</em></strong>. You are compelled to take certain actions in your life, such as dining at a new restaurant, or staying later at a party, or getting up early for your daily run, or whatever.</p>
<p>Next, the inspired action lines you up with events that set a chain reaction into motion that allows the thing you have been thinking about to become &#8220;real.&#8221; <em>Law of Attraction</em> lines you up with the event, person, or circumstance that makes the original little thought a big, fat reality in your present moment. Magic? I thinks it&#8217;s magical&#8230;and a normal event that is available to anyone interested to expand into it through pure intention.</p>
<p>Of course, this process works in both directions. You can just as deliberately practice a thought of your own danger, worry, or concern, or demise. <em>Law of Attraction</em> responds with the same vigor, and before long you will have evidence to back up the momentum created by the thought. <em>Every event is just the culmination of the thoughts you have been practicing most over time</em>.</p>
<p>Today, dream about the things you have been wanting for a while. Savor the idea that <em>anything is possible for you</em>. Give thanks and <strong><em>gratitude</em></strong> that this is how the <em>Universe</em> is set up. Love the fact that by enjoying the idea, you are setting into motion the energy of the <em>Universe</em>, and the magnetic forces of <em>Law of Attraction</em>. Be excited that you get to create your tomorrow through your thoughts today, and that you are not limited by anything except your ability to sustain your dreaming. If you can dream it, it really CAN be yours! Be.Love today! Hannya-GP</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Now, this leads us to the fact that you will always be moving between connection and disconnection, feeling good and feeling not-so-good. It's part of being human on planet earth. Disconnection (or contrast) helps you clarify what you want by identifying what you don't want. In every disconnected moment you literally create something new in your vibration. Once it is created, you have the opportunity to attract it to you and allow it to manifest. Until you create it (through contrast) it literally does not exist for you. So your job is to move through your day, notice how you feel, and do your best to feel the best you can. But when you find yourself in a bad-feeling, disconnected moment of great contrast...take a deep breath and affirm that "I just expanded my asking, and I am ready to move back into feeling better. I am an amazing creator!" ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Contrast.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1511" title="Contrast" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Contrast-300x138.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="138" /></a>When you ask for something through your vibrational output (and this happens automatically and continuously), the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> lines you up with it. Your life is a constant reflection of what you have been thinking and vibrating in the past. Luckily, when you think something and feel a certain way, it doesn&#8217;t manifest instantly. While you might want the things you desire to suddenly manifest the moment you think of them, be glad that this lapse of time exists. Imagine if what you thought became &#8220;real&#8221; as you thought it. If you thought about wealth, you would become instantly rich. However, if you felt disconnected and powerless, you would immediately crash your car, or become deadly sick.</p>
<p>But our thoughts take time to manifest, and it takes a certain amount of momentum to create a manifestation. What you experience in any given moment is more of a vibrational average of what you have been offering over time. It is the culmination of your <em>thoughts, feelings, and actions</em> that create your <strong><em>point of attraction</em></strong> over time. This is why when you think a connected thought, you don&#8217;t see instant well being&#8230;and when you think a disconnected thought, you don&#8217;t get instant contrast. This is a great thing, trust me.</p>
<p>Now, this leads us to the fact that you will always be moving between connection and disconnection, feeling good and feeling not-so-good. It&#8217;s part of being human on Planet Earth. Disconnection (or contrast) helps you clarify what you want <em>by identifying what you don&#8217;t want. </em>In every disconnected moment you literally create something new (and what you would call better) in your vibration. Once it is created, you have the opportunity to attract it to you and allow it to manifest. Until you create it (through contrast) it literally does not exist for you. So your job is to move through your day, notice how you feel, and <em>do your best to feel the best you can</em>.</p>
<p>But when you find yourself in a bad-feeling, disconnected moment of great contrast&#8230;take a deep breath and affirm that <strong>&#8220;I just expanded my asking, and I am ready to move back into feeling better. I am an amazing creator!&#8221;</strong> You will never feel good all the time. It&#8217;s alright to expand and create through feeling disconnected occasionally. <em>Just remember that you can&#8217;t allow your new creation while you are creating it</em>. You job, once you feel better, is to receive your new expansion through feeling good. Start today by simply noticing when you are expanding, and when you are allowing. Life is defined by expansion and allowing. If you feel not-so-good, you are creating. If you feel good, you are allowing. We hope you have expanded your allowing by visiting <strong><em>Gratitude Planet</em></strong> and feeling better! Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Intuition is the path through which information can be received without excessive interference by the Ego.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/blink.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1489" title="blink" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/blink-293x300.jpg" alt="" width="293" height="300" /></a>No too long ago I read a book by Macolm Gladwell called &#8220;<a title="Blink by Malcom Gladwell" href="http://www.gladwell.com/blink/index.html" target="_blank">Blink</a>.&#8221; This book examines the information we receive in the first two seconds we meet someone, see something, interact with something, or experience something new. He talks about how we receive every relevant aspect of information that we need to know about a situation in two seconds or less, or in the time it takes to <em>blink</em>. While Gladwell doesn&#8217;t like the term &#8220;intuition&#8221; and consciously avoids the term in his book, I like the term and I think his ideas can absolutely be linked to a discussion of intuition. The dictionary defines intuition this way:</p>
<p><strong>intuition</strong> |ˌint(y)oōˈi sh ən|<br />
noun<br />
the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning : <em>we shall allow our intuition to guide us.</em><br />
• a thing that one knows or considers likely from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning : <em>your insights and intuitions as a native speaker are positively sought.</em></p>
<p>Intuition is the path through which information can be received without excessive interference by the Ego. Have you ever noticed that if you think too much about anything, you can either talk yourself into or out of doing it? In the process of thinking too much, you may doubt your decision and start avoiding making any decision at all? Likewise, how many times have you been struck in the moment by a feeling that feels absolutely right&#8230;and a desire to move ahead in full connection? I think that everything we need to know IS there for us to discover in the exact moment we need it. I believe that intuition is always present to guide us through the day. If we choose to hear it and act upon it, I think we have an opportunity to live a connected, magical and spontaneous life.</p>
<p>The <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> is connected to intuition, of course. When you ask through your constant vibration of living, the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong> lines you up with people and events that match your present point of attraction. But the <em>Law of Attraction</em> is also gently nudging you toward more and more fulfillment too, and is helping you move toward the things you want. For example, if you are asking for more peace and quiet, and you are traveling by plane, you will encounter (potentially) things that are not peaceful nor quiet in your day. However, if you have been relaxing and allowing yourself to be centered, and if you are willing to listen to your intuition, magic is possible. You may be walking through the terminal and your intuition tells you to take a certain route to the gate&#8230;you listen and take the route&#8230;and you experience a nice, peaceful walk to the gate. Little did you know that there was a person arguing with their friend along the other route that you didn&#8217;t take, and that experience was not part of your experience because of your decision to follow your intuition in the first second you heard it. You may have an intuition to change your seat at check in (or not to change it) and then find yourself surrounded by quiet, pleasant people, rather than unhappy people or loud crying infants.</p>
<p>Trusting your intuition can be a challenge, but the more you do it, the better you get at it. Get &#8220;In To&#8221; your life with a closer walk with your own intuition. Play with it and see how it works for you. Be easy about it and enjoy the gifts you will be led toward&#8230;and be sure to notice the wonderful gifts you are given. Be <strong><em>grateful</em></strong> and <strong><em>appreciative</em></strong>, and enjoy this most amazing day. Chris-GP</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Fred_the_Baker.jpeg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1087" title="Fred_the_Baker" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Fred_the_Baker-300x239.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="239" /></a>There used to be a commercial for the company &#8220;Dunkin&#8217; Donuts&#8221; where a guy would wake up at 3:00 A.M. and stumble around getting ready for work. All the while he looked half awake and repeated the phrase &#8220;It&#8217;s time to make the doughnuts.&#8221; It was his job to get up early, put everything into place, and make it easy for the customer to get a fresh, hot doughnut at 6:00 A.M. with their coffee. The commercial usually ended with the guy smiling at the customers and enjoying his work. It must have been an effective ad campaign because it ran for years&#8230;and I still remember it today. It makes me think about how we all have a job, but I&#8217;m not talking about the job you get paid for; I&#8217;m talking about the job we all have to notice how we are thinking, feeling, and what we are doing every day. It&#8217;s the job of harnessing the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> to your advantage to allow your life to be more fulfilling, thrilling, and magical!</p>
<p>When people first learn (or remember) that thoughts create reality, they sometimes feel a burden to censor their thoughts, feelings, and actions. They become like the guy making the doughnuts and say, with a sarcastic and lethargic tone &#8220;it&#8217;s time to be happy. I have to stop thinking what I am thinking.&#8221; This IS a burden. It&#8217;s no fun to try to <em>stop</em> thinking and feeling a certain way, especially if you have been in a set pattern for a long time. It is much easier to take a deep breath and reach for the <em>feeling of relief </em>that comes through thinking a <em>better thought</em>. Hear the difference: stop a thought, or think another thought.</p>
<p>When you give your attention to anything, you become a match to it. Give enough attention to something over time, and the <em>Law of Attraction</em> will show you real-life manifested evidence of it in your own life. Giving your attention to stopping something also just makes you a match to it. So if you try to stop anyone from doing something, you add Universal energy to the system that sustains it, and you actually increase the &#8220;reality&#8221; of this unwanted thing in your world. Try to lose weight, and you will have a hard time; focus on your thin and healthy body, and you will attract the resources to make your thinness real. <em>Law of Attraction</em> is like the <strong><em>Law of Gravity</em></strong> in that it works fairly, consistently, and continuously. <em>Law of Gravity</em> doesn&#8217;t care what you drop, and it acts on every object of similar mass the same way. <em>Law of Attraction</em> doesn&#8217;t care what you focus on, and makes no value judgments either way. It&#8217;s only job is to bring you more of what you focus upon.</p>
<p>So what is YOUR job in all of this? It&#8217;s NOT to make the doughnuts. It&#8217;s not to feel a burden of needing to stop your thoughts. Your job is simply to <em>notice how you feel</em>. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Your feelings will be a direct reflection of how your thoughts match your inner desires for a better and expanded life.</span> (Read that again.) When you feel emotions like worry, blame, doubt, or fear, you are reacting to thoughts that you have been thinking recently. Turn your attention to the best thoughts you have access to. Notice how you feel. Do you feel better? Not good, just better? If so, keep shining the light of your attention in that direction. Feel better? Keep it up. Feel worse? Turn and refocus on another thought or topic. In time you will guide yourself toward thoughts that feel better without needing to stop your thoughts in any way. You will notice, too, that the thoughts you might have tried to stop have disappeared from your vibration completely. Your job, then, is to think and feel, and think and feel, and to reach for the thoughts that feel the best. That&#8217;s it! It&#8217;s time to do your job, but your job is easier than you think it is. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes I wonder if being a celebrity is really as much fun as it seems to be. Living a life in the spotlight must have some exciting moments, and I am sure that high-profile people have a sharp sense of the leading edge of thought, for better or for worse. The joy and contrast that famous people encounter, however, is probably not exceedingly different than anyone else&#8217;s experience. We have seen a new wave of celebrity scandals lately, from former Presidential candidate John Edwards to golf legend Tiger Woods (as well as many others). No one is perfect, and no one ever will be. Each person has their own challenges and desires, and it can&#8217;t be easy to have millions of people watching you at all times, ready to blame you for your imperfect journey on planet Earth. I rarely give these stories my attention because I am not interested in including them in my vibration, and hence, into my experience. But there are two stories I will mention briefly today to make a point&#8230;that there is never a mistake concerning the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> because what you get is always a match to your vibrational offering&#8230;always, with no exceptions.</p>
<p>I was reading another <em>Law of Attraction</em> blog (&#8217;cause I always like to read about and meet new people who are deliberate creators), and I read that <a title="Website of Dr. Wayne Dyer" href="http://www.drwaynedyer.com/" target="_self">Dr. Wayne Dyer</a> had been diagnosed with some sort of cancer. My thoughts became confused for a moment, and then I asked &#8220;but how could someone like Wayne Dyer, who seems to have his act together so well, attract cancer? What went wrong?&#8221; The answer is, of course, that nothing &#8220;went wrong.&#8221; Knowing about <em>Law of Attraction</em> doesn&#8217;t make someone live in a thought bubble and immune to their own habits of thought. You are a spiritual being having a human experience on this planet, so you will have experiences now and again that feel like contrast. It&#8217;s part of the deal. That doesn&#8217;t mean that you can&#8217;t help others with insights that you have gained through your studies and experiences, and your imperfection shouldn&#8217;t stop you from adding as much value as you can to this world. The quote I read that was ascribed to Wayne felt very connected, and he seemed to be in a very allowing frame of mind about his diagnosis. This made me think about how we can&#8217;t stop contrast from coming into our lives (nor would we want to do this), but that we have ultimate power to decide how we focus our energy after the manifestation. A contrasting experience always opens up a strong desire for something better, and embracing the new desire is our number one job. That is what I felt from reading Wayne Dyer&#8217;s words about his condition. He is turning toward wellness with a new and energized focus. Because the manifestation was not an accident, but rather a culmination of energy flow (or energy blockage), he has a gift-like opportunity to examine how it all came to be. Turning to wellness will help him allow even more wellness. It works this way for everyone, famous or only locally famous.</p>
<p>So what if you are a deliberate creator and you create what can only be described as a total CRAP storm? In this reference I am talking about author and entrepreneur  <a title="Website of James Arthur Ray" href="http://jamesray.com/" target="_self">James Arthur Ray</a>. You may remember James as one of the featured speakers in the movie &#8220;The Secret.&#8221; James did very well creating his own brand name associated with the Law of Attraction, and still has a loyal following who can separate the messenger from the message. He now also has some fierce detractors. He has been arrested for negligent homicide for a tragic incident that left three people dead during one of his retreats. This has caused quite a buzz in the LOA blogosphere, because he is a very visible person who has appeared on programs like Oprah in the name of Law of Attraction.  It seems easier to blame James for his woes because he is a motivational speaker, and he makes a living calling others out on their blind spots and weaknesses. It seems like he should have seen this coming, and should have adjusted his thinking accordingly. But he, too, is only human and lives by the same Universal laws we all live with. He obviously didn&#8217;t predict the outcome here, and I believe there was no intent to kill anyone. But still, he attracted a XXXL-sized dose of contrast, and it is up to him to find the meaning behind the experience, and adjust accordingly. The Southern California staff from Gratitude Planet went together to see James speak this past fall,  and we all had a funny feeling intuitively that we all shared after the seminar over drinks. We all felt an unease about his vibration, as if he was working really, really hard (too hard) to sell us his products. The word &#8220;allowing&#8221; didn&#8217;t make a whole lot of sense compared to the energy we felt that night from the stage. After the talk, he disappeared from the room without chatting with anyone, shaking hands, or answering questions. We were very confused&#8230;we wanted to believe he was perfect and living his message. I fully believe in his message, even if the messenger is struggling to hold it all together. When I heard that he attracted the mess he did, I can&#8217;t say I was surprised. We felt he was carrying and practicing a vibration that kept him from feeling free&#8230;and one that kept us from feeling his free and true self&#8230;and now he has manifested another challenge to his freedom, <em>that of potential incarceration</em>.</p>
<p>Interestingly, I read that Wayne Dyer is often the last person standing in a room where he gives a talk. He chats, listens, and gives freely of his time and energy for the people who are interested in his message. These two men, James and Wayne, have had two literally contrasting experiences&#8230;and each will continue to attract based on their most practiced vibration. Again, you can&#8217;t avoid things going &#8220;wrong&#8221; for you, but you CAN do your best to live your highest version of YOU. Be grateful, give freely, relax, and let your life be joyful as much as possible. Be appreciative for the famous people who help us learn about ourselves in public, so that we can be our imperfect selves in private. Send love to others, even when they fall short of your expectations. Let people chose what they will, and choose for yourself as well as you can. There is a perfect unfolding in the Universe, and we have an opportunity to align with it if we choose to&#8230;not for the sake of perfection, but for the sake of JOY! There are no mistakes. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP
