<!-- 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/2011/04/Healthy-Food.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1755" title="Healthy-Food" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Healthy-Food-300x276.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="276" /></a>Since the start of the new year, my husband and I have been experimenting with eating different kinds of food. Our &#8220;normal&#8221; diet was not unlike the majority of people living in the United States today: few greens, lots of pasta, snacks, burgers, steak, sushi, good beer, great wine, and a martini to start happy hour. We had not experienced serious health concerns with this diet over the last 10 years, and except for a few extra pounds we thought we felt fine.</p>
<p><strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> is an interesting thing, because we set out a desire to lose a few pounds in the new year, and we simply kept to the <em><strong>feeling</strong></em> of the idea. We stayed open to the feeling of losing weight, or better put, we did our best to feel thinner and enjoy the feeling of being 10 pounds lighter. In the nidst of feeling better we came across a diet plan that we had never heard of before: The Ph Miracle! I&#8217;ll write about this diet plan in detail at a later date, but suffice to say that it has changed our life for the better.</p>
<p>What <em>Law of Attraction</em> brought us was a new framework to think about health. This diet might not resonate with everyone, but it works for us. What we like about it is we get to eat all we want and not count calories, ever. The food tastes good, and it makes our bodies find a perfect weight, which for us has been 10-15 pounds less in a matter of two months. Now we are maintaining our new lower weight, and we continue to embrace the new culinary choices that we attracted. When we &#8220;cheat&#8221; and fall back to our old choices, we notice a difference in how we feel, how our bodies react to the food, and also how we feel in terms of mood swings.</p>
<p>In a nut shell, this diet includes all green vegetables, good salts including pure sea salt, some fish, almonds, avocados, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, healthy oils, and spices. It does not include sweet fruits, wheat, alcohol, caffeine, meat, sugar, and a whole host of other &#8220;fun&#8221; stuff we used to eat. But let me tell you, three days on this diet and you will feel your mood shift for the better&#8230;and fast. You will notice more bliss, connection to <strong><em>Source</em></strong>, and a renewed zest for living that you may have long forgotten.</p>
<p>Eating used to make me happy, then bum me out when I was done. I felt heavy and bloated. I was not excited to do the next thing on my schedule. Now, I never feel really hungry, yet I eat all day. My moods are better, and I am generally more happy. I know that <em>Law of Attraction</em> is attracting all the things I want, because I feel better. How I feel is everything, and my new food choices have helped me attain this improved state. You can do it too. You don&#8217;t need to do this particular diet, but you can start experimenting with food choices while you just take inventory of how you feel. Eat your way back to feeling great. Be Well, Marie-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>

		<description><![CDATA[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. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/bar-harbor-me084.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1630" title="bar-harbor-me084" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/bar-harbor-me084-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>There is an old New England joke that goes something like this! STRANGER TO LOCAL: &#8220;Good morning sir. Do you know how to get to Bar Harbor?&#8221; (pronounced &#8220;Bar-har-bur&#8221;) LOCAL TO STRANGER: &#8220;Yup, I do&#8230;but you can&#8217;t get there from here.&#8221; (pronounced &#8220;they-ah from hee-ah&#8221;) The joke is funnier when you realize that there are some places in Maine that are close by across the water, but much farther by car. In essence, you have to drive somewhere else first to get there directly. The phrase makes perfect sense of another truth regarding the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>: You can&#8217;t get to a new place (vibration, manifestation, etc.) from where you are&#8230;you have to become a match to the new vibration first.</p>
<p>Think about the things you are wanting to attract into your life: health, wellbeing, a new relationship, prosperity, a new job&#8230;whatever it may be. <em>You can&#8217;t get there from here.</em> The reason you don&#8217;t have it is because you are vibrating (sending out a signal to the <strong>Universe</strong>) 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 &#8220;how can I live in the now and hold a vibration different than the one I have now?&#8221; Indeed, this is a paradox. The trick is letting yourself <em>feel the feeling</em> of being or achieving the new thing <em>in this moment</em>. 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 &#8220;I&#8217;ll be different when I have money,&#8221; the implication (vibration) is &#8220;I have no money.&#8221; You can&#8217;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 <em>Law of Attraction</em> 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 <em>Law of Attraction</em> in very powerful ways. Try this approach and let us know what you experienced. Enjoy this most amazing day. Chris-GP</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Law of Attraction is a very consistent law of the Universe. Simply stated, we get more of what we think about. But mastering the Law of Attraction is not as simple as thinking certain thoughts and ignoring other thoughts. The reason why is that the Universe responds to your vibration, and not to your words. So when you attempt to think certain words, without paying attention to how you feel when you think the words, you may be attracting something different than what you think you are attracting. It's always about the vibration you are sending out...which is why it makes good sense to expand your skills of knowing how you feel. This explains, to a large degree, why people are surprised by what they attract. I will hear someone say "there is absolutely no way that I attracted this event into my experience."]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/think-positive-thoughts.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1610" title="think-positive-thoughts" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/think-positive-thoughts.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a>The <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em> is a very consistent law of the <em>Universe</em>. Simply stated, we get more of what we think about. But mastering the <em>Law of Attraction</em> is not as simple as thinking certain thoughts and ignoring other thoughts. The reason why is that the <em>Universe</em> responds to your <em>vibration</em>, and not to your words. So when you attempt to think certain words, without paying attention to how you feel when you think the words, you may be attracting something different than what you think you are attracting. It&#8217;s always about the vibration you are sending out&#8230;which is why it makes good sense to expand your skills of knowing how you feel. This explains, to a large degree, why people are surprised by what they attract. I will hear someone say &#8220;there is absolutely no way that I attracted this event into my experience.&#8221; They will go on to say how &#8220;positive&#8221; they have been, and all the things they do to stay connected to <strong><em>Source Energy</em></strong>. I applaud their desire for connection, and also their best efforts to make it happen. In the end, you are lined up with with more things that match the essence of your <em>average vibrational offering</em>. So if you have been feeling relatively powerless while trying to think positive words, the <em>Universe</em> only hears you say &#8220;I am powerless&#8221; and brings you more events, people, and opportunities for you to feel powerless.</p>
<p>Today, pay even greater attention to how you feel when you offer your words to yourself and others. Try to feel what message you are sending out to all corners of the Universe. Know that you are asking for more of how you are feeling&#8230;and make it your sincere desire to feel good as much as possible. Feeling good puts you in a place where your positive words can match your vibrational asking. Then you can get even more excited about how your life will unfold, thrill you, and expand in amazing ways that will spiral upward and upward. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP</p>

		<description><![CDATA[But what about if you don't love your job, or what if you really dislike your job? You have two choices.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/confucius.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1601" title="confucius" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/confucius-284x300.jpg" alt="" width="284" height="300" /></a>The Chinese philosopher <a title="More about Confucius" href="http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/confucius/" target="_blank">Confucius</a> (551-479 BCE) is often attributed the quote<em> &#8220;Choose a job you love and you&#8217;ll never work a day in your life.&#8221;</em> There is so much wisdom in this saying, and it seems to be a major component of living a happy life with purpose. When you love your job, every day is a day filled with growth and expansion. You are able to commit yourself to being present because you don&#8217;t have the distraction of wishing you were somewhere else, or wishing away the time while you feel bored and unengaged. There are few (if any) jobs that don&#8217;t have some aspect of &#8220;have to&#8217;s&#8221; associated with them. But I know that loving your job spills over into everything else you do, and the happiest people I know seem to have fulfilling and meaningful work that they like to one degree of another.</p>
<p>But what about if you don&#8217;t love your job, or what if you really <em>dislike</em> your job? You have two choices. You can use this feeling of unhappiness to launch a new desire for a better job, and then you can be ready to act when the time for inspired action arrives. Or you can just complain, tell a sad story to anyone who will listen, and whip up an amazingly disconnected feeling every time you think of your work. Obviously only the first choice is the productive choice. But it can be difficult to see something positive inside something you have whipped up to a negative feeling/vibration.</p>
<p>Remember that the <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em> can only bring you more of what you have, so it is never in your best interest to perpetuate a story that feels bad. Instead, you have to tell a different story to anyone who will listen. You have to look for the small things you love about your job that you might have been subconsciously ignoring. Take these small things and turn them into BIG things. For example, you may not enjoy attending meetings in your job. Instead of waking and dreading the day because of a 1:00 PM meeting you have to attend, be grateful for the coffee break you will have with your friend at 10:00 AM. Create an inner dialogue that is playful, even for tasks that are repetitive. I know that when I have to, say, stuff 1,000 envelopes I find some sort of game to play, with my own made-up rules and with crazy goals that make me laugh. To someone watching, it looks like I am just going about my business and working. But my inner thinking is amusing me to no end. If you hate your job, remember that you have the real power to sustain that vibration or to change that vibration. You can make your <em>vocation</em> your <em>vacation</em>, with just a little change of focus and with a little bit of redirection in your inner speak.</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s the most important part of all of this. If you are stuck in a job you dislike, and you find a way to love it and enjoy it&#8230;<em>it&#8217;s highly likely that you will be offered another job that you like even more.</em> When you hate your job, the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> will keep you in it because it matches you with more of what you are experiencing. You may be fired, but you will attract another job you hate. So if you choose (right now) to love your job more, then more opportunities for work you enjoy will be made available to you in very short order. Do what you love and love what you do&#8230;as much as possible&#8230;and let the magic or your life take a firm hold and amaze you with every turn. Enjoy this most amazing day!  Chris-GP</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="JF Kennedy Biography" href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/johnfkennedy" target="_self"><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Rising-Tide.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1583" title="Rising Tide" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Rising-Tide-300x207.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="207" /></a>John Fitzgerald Kennedy</a> (1917-1963), 35th President of the United States was quoted as saying that &#8220;A rising tide lifts all boats.&#8221; The proverb he quoted is an excellent one to draw an analogy to <em><strong>Source Energy</strong></em>, your challenges, and the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>. When you study the <em>LofA</em> you hear a lot of phrases over and over again. Much of what you hear us discuss, and most of everything you will read at many other <em>LofA</em> websites draws primary information from the ongoing work of <a title="Abraham-Hicks.com" href="http://www.abraham-hicks.com/lawofattractionsource/teachings_brief.php" target="_self">Jerry and Ester Hicks, and the Teachings of Abraham</a>. If you haven&#8217;t studied their work, it is a must read. In fact <a title="The Secret Movie" href="http://www.thesecret.tv/" target="_self">The Secret</a>, which is a main-stream movie about the <em><strong>Law of Attraction</strong></em>, is based on their work, even though they decided not to be associated with the movie in the end. You will hear from both these sources that how you feel is everything, and that if you <em>feel good</em> you are moving closer to what you want, and if you feel bad you are moving away from what you want. That is the basis of my discussion today.</p>
<p>Even after I &#8220;got it&#8221; that I should pay attention to how I feel, I always found a reason to only do it a little. After all, when you have a life to live, a job to do, and a house to run, who has time to just stop and pay attention to how you feel? I mean really?? I felt deeply that someday I would solve my immediate issues and then relax and enjoy my life more&#8230;only after I fixed everything around me. At some point I realized that I might need to wait until retirement before I had no excuses, and that day was not coming very soon. So the quandary was: how do I solve my problems all at once so that I can pay more attention to how I feel, and then harness the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> to my greatest benefit? The question becomes the answer, and you begin and end in the same place. Here&#8217;s how&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;A rising tide lifts all boats.&#8221; The tide doesn&#8217;t go around lifting each one, as if worrying about missing one. The tide is powerful, and has an immediate effect on all boats. So it is with the <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong>. When you take time to listen to your inner guidance, and really pay attention to your <em>Emotional Guidance System</em> (using the <em>Vibrational Scale</em> as a reference), your connection to <strong><em>Source Energy</em></strong> raises and expands. You need to attend to this connection <em>first</em>, and then see the magic that happens next. The &#8220;problems&#8221; you had on your mind will either seem smaller, or you will have new insights as to how to solve them. You will receive the gift of <em>inspired action</em> which will help you move through the day in efficient strides that move you ahead. All the &#8220;rocks&#8221; in your &#8220;ocean&#8221; will submerge and you will be able to navigate swiftly over them. The rising tide of your connection to <strong><em>Source Energy</em></strong> will lift you up and show you the way. <strong><em>Law of Attraction</em></strong> will put the muscle behind the magic, aligning you with even more of what you want, once you are sailing above the rocks. Don&#8217;t try to solve all your problems before you connect to <strong><em>Source</em></strong>. Connect first, through meditation or yoga, or just by being still for ten minutes when you need to. Let the <strong><em>Universe</em></strong> help you solve everything. Your first responsibility is to let the tide come in. Be Well, Marie-GP</p>

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

		<description><![CDATA[When you feel connected, you feel good. Connection feels like fun, expansion, gratitude, and appreciation. Feeling good is your number one job, especially if you want to be of value to others. And yet, we have been told by many that the best way to serve others is through hard work and sacrifice. The message was something like "don't be selfish, put others first, give more than you take, and do it as long as you can keep it up. Someday, after your death, you will be rewarded." I am sure that you have received this message in some form, at some time, from people in your life. Here are five things to remember as you put all this into perspective:]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/happy.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1507" title="happy" src="http://gratitudeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/happy-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a>I had a minor revelation a couple of nights ago as I pondered how I felt and how I was interacting with others. I realized, in a deeper way than ever before, that I can offer little to others if I am not connected to <strong><em>Source Energy</em></strong> myself. When you feel connected, you feel good. Connection feels like fun, expansion, <em><strong>gratitude</strong></em>, and <strong><em>appreciation</em></strong>. Feeling good is your number one job, especially if you want to be of value to others. And yet, we have been told by many that the best way to serve others is through hard work and sacrifice. The message was something like <em>&#8220;don&#8217;t be selfish, put others first, give more than you take, and do it as long as you can keep it up. Someday, after your death, you will be rewarded.&#8221;</em> I am sure that you have received this message in some form, at some time, from people in your life. Here are five things to remember as you put all this into perspective:</p>
<p>1. <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">There is no shortage of <em>Source Energy</em>.</span></strong> It exists in abundance and will never run out.</p>
<p>2. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>You are worthy to receive <em>Source Energy</em>.</strong></span> There is no test to pass to make you worthy. It is yours for the taking, and it is free.</p>
<p>3. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>When you allow <em>Source Energy</em> to flow through you, you have everything to give.</strong></span> When you are disconnected from <em>Source Energy</em>, you have very little to give, and what you try to do from sheer work won&#8217;t make as much of a difference to others.</p>
<p>4. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>When you are motivated without being connected to <em>Source Energy</em>, people will be less inspired by your words and actions.</strong></span> Your intention to uplift others will be watered down. When you are inspired through your connection to <em>Source Energy</em>, people will sense your enthusiasm, your genuine gratitude and appreciation, and your full belief that <strong>all is well</strong>.</p>
<p>5. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The <em>Law of Attraction</em> works the same if you are connected to <em>Source Energy</em>, as it does if you are NOT connected to <em>Source Energy</em>.</strong></span> 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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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 <em>Source Energy</em>. I started moving down the <em>vibrational scale</em> until I felt pretty disconnected and even sad. I could see that my friends were also feeling the &#8220;buzz kill&#8221; of the conversation.</p>
<p>Now, from my <em>disconnection</em> I decided to uplift the table by saying things that felt a little better. However, I was trying to offer these words <em>before I felt better myself</em>. 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.</p>
<p>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 <em>Source Energy</em>, 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 <em>Source</em>. Flow more, work less, and be filled with <em><strong>love</strong></em> and <em>gratitude</em>. 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. 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?

			<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>
