Manifesting with the Law of Attraction

The universe I am referring to here is the entire cosmos — the entire cosmic consciousness. The vast realm of interconnected powerfully pulsating energy of everything that is good, bountiful, & beautiful. You may call it God or the universal love. I believe in the pureness & the power of love. I believe that this energy embodies everything that is good & beautiful.

As you are one with this consciousness of good, bountiful & beautiful, so is your life. You have everything that is good, your life is bountiful & you have everything that is beautiful. In short, you are loved & you are love.

This interconnected consciousness is a source of power that never runs out. It is everlasting & it is consistent. It does not discriminate, it just IS. Just learn to accept & embrace your connection to the power source. Acknowledge that you are loved day in & day out 24×7x365 1/4 days!

It is also the nature of the universe to FLOW. In case you haven’t noticed we are always moving forward. A day turns into night, the sun rises, & sets and it’s a brand new day. Since we are one with it, our nature too is to flow — improvement, progress, moving forward & being free. It is against our very nature to be stuck in the past or be unable to live the life we are meant to live. We hinder our own progress by willingly constricting the flow of energy in our lives. If we choose not to move forward, the energy that accumulates in us is that of the past which maybe hurtful or negative.

The book Manifesting Your Heart’s Desire cited a story about a girl who was watering the garden with a hose. The flow of the water suddenly stopped so she complained to her father. The father said, “Don’t step on the hose.” So is our energy flow. We are deliberately stepping on our energy line if we continually live with the EGO rather than our SOUL.

When you were born, you didn’t have any idea of how or what you are suppose to be. You were innocent & pure in all respect. You were like a canvass waiting to be painted on.

As you grew older, you assumed an identity of who you are suppose to be based on the influences of your parents, peers, teachers & your culture as a whole. The blank canvass has been painted on but the picture was not really a reflection of your true self.

It was a self that conforms to outside influences. Thus, this self depends on these same influences for love approval and acceptance. It gives you a false sense of yourself. It is very fragile and constantly making efforts to protect itself. It never feels secure despite outer appearances because it depends on others for what it needs. We call this self the false self or the EGO.

Have you ever noticed how good things happen to good people? There’s no mistake here. These people didn’t just “get lucky” but instead were proactive within their lives as opposed to simply reacting to things as they occur. They created the experiences they have beginning with the thoughts they think. How does this work?

Positive thoughts lead to positive feelings. These feelings lead to positive emotions. These emotions then promote positive behaviors. Finally, the positive behavior creates positive outcomes. In applying these steps to a real example, it may look something like this.

Let’s say you’re thinking about how nice it will be to spend some quality time with someone you love. Just thinking about the time you’ll spend makes you feel good. Maybe you’re feeling content, loved and happy. Those feelings lead to positive emotions such as love or joy. When you’re experiencing emotions such as love or joy, you’re more inclined to behave in a way which is in line with those feelings. Maybe you’re more supportive, loving or compassionate as a result. Because you’re more supportive or compassionate, you have more to give and behave in a manner which is conducive to showing your compassion. You may be more inclined to say or do something nice to someone, simply because you feel good.

Your random act of kindness (whether through words or deeds) may just be what the person on the other end needed. Maybe they were having a difficult day and your kind word or gesture enabled them to gain a better perspective and turn their day around. The immediate outcome may be that you’ve helped another person smile, feel valued or appreciated. The more extended outcome is that they now experience more positive thoughts which then turn it into a feeling, emotion, behavior and the cycle continues.

This entire scenario all came from just one of your positive thoughts! We have millions of thoughts throughout the course of a typical day. If more of them were positive, can you see how powerful this can be?

So if becoming a more positive thinker is on your to-do list, here are a few simple ways to begin.

1.Retrain your negative thoughts. For every negative thought you have, counter it with something positive. For example, “I’m so fat” can be countered with “I’m making healthy changes every day.”

2.Show gratitude. Here’s where you acknowledge, validate and appreciate all that you have. You recognize how blessed you are and show appreciation for all that you have and see.

3.Read positive quotes/books. Get ideas and inspiration from gurus, teachers and mentors. Learn how others create a positive outlook and get ideas from them. Also, learning from others can show you how they’ve managed difficult situations. It’s a great way to learn how they’ve turned obstacles into opportunities and used adversity as a learning tool or stepping stone to achieve something better.

4.Surround yourself with positive people. Just as how laughter is infectious, the positive thoughts, emotions and feelings from others can be infectious too. Besides being more positive, these people are also much more pleasant to be around.

5.Believe. Believe you can be a more positive thinker. You will or won’t become a more positive thinker based on your belief that you can or can’t.

6.Laugh. Not only does laughter feel good, but it’s good for your health. Studies show that laughter promotes the release of “feel good” chemicals within your body which helps to strengthen the immune system. What a funny reason to lighten up!

7.Control your thoughts. While you can’t control many things, you can always control your reaction to them. That means that an unfortunate situation can be either a minor bump in the road or a complete devastation…it’s up to you.

This holiday season, there will be many opportunities to become angry and upset or enlightened and enriched. The choice is always yours but as long as you do have a choice, why not choose to become a more positive thinker. By helping yourself you never know just how many other lives you may touch as a result.
