Momentum Monday

by

momentum-monday1“The brain is the focusing mechanism that you are utilizing here. But there is consciousness that is outside of what you call the human focus of the brain. That’s this vibrational thing we continually talk about. We talk about vibration. We talk about Energy. We talk about thought. And eventually, once enough momentum has occurred, you will feel emotion. We want to acknowledge that the emotions that you feel are manifestations. And there is a significant amount of momentum that has occurred before your emotions show you how well aligned, or not, you are with that Broader Perspective.” —Abraham (Excerpted from the book: Co-creating at Its Best on November 13, 2013)

The key to today’s Abraham excerpt is your emotions are the most powerful possession you have. You can create anything with your emotions. Think back to the various powerful emotions you’ve had – was it anger, rage, love, disgust, what? I remember when I had been so frustrated by the fact that at the very last minute the house I was due to move into in 3 days fell through and I had to find a house in record time. My mother, my realtor and I were driving around northern Virginia all weekend. While my mother and the realtor were chatting away in the front seat, I was pouting and becoming more and more frustrated in the back seat. Finally I just shouted out “I’m NOT moving twice” (which I would have had to do if we didn’t find a house that I could move into on short notice).  Within 20 minutes (all of which was driving) we found the perfect house! It was a model so all the utilities were hooked up and everything was ready to go and no one had to move. I could inhabit the house the NEXT DAY! That was the power of my emotions. I was letting the Universe know that I had made up my mind and it better listen. The vibration I sent out was phenomenal and powerful. The Universe listened and delivered my desire.

I think this is one way that violence and how it perpetuates so quickly. Think of the power behind the rage one or more people exhibit. This emanates out to the Universe and attracts others with the same degree of vibration. It becomes a chain reaction. More and more folks are drawn into the grouping of hating people. And you know what? The rage and hatred does NOT have to be about the same thing. It’s the emotion, not the target. So, if you’re a person with a lot of hate or anger and you’re within reach of this energy field, you’ll be drawn into it in order to express your own rage, no matter how you really feel about the original person’s “cause”. This is why it’s so dangerous and spreads so vehemently.

Examine your emotions and use the positive ones to bring you the goodness you desire.  Harness your own power and let the windmill (the Universe) bring you what you want. Along those same lines, though, be careful about the things you are putting your emotions into. If you’re struggling with something whether it be debt or relationship or health issues, do NOT put the emotional energy into them – not even into “not wanting” this. What you focus on is what you’ll get more of. Focus on something good that’s coming out of the experience, something you’re learning perhaps. Use each experience to help you concentrate on the good and charge your emotional vibration.

Gratitude Leads To Gold

by

gratitude leads to goldI talk about gratitude frequently but in our hectic day and age, it always is good to be reminded of the benefits of gratitude.

What you give out comes back 10 fold – this can also be regarding “bad” stuff (however you define “bad”) so make sure you’re not sending out vibrations for the Universe to return 10 fold.

If you develop only one metaphysical habit, it should be to list your gratitudes every single day. I recommend you use the free software I offer – the Gratitude Journal. But if you don’t choose to use a software program that’s fine too. You can use a notepad (electronic or paper) but the important thing is to do it every day. At the end of each day you should list 3-5 things you’re grateful for that have happened in your life. Also make it a habit to express gratitude for 3-5 things you “know” are going to come your way in the future. This is one of the fastest ways to make things happen.

Make a commitment to do your gratitudes every day for the next 30 days just to see if there is a difference in your life. I bet there will be. Your vibration will be so much higher and it won’t take hardly any effort to get back up to a high vibration gratitude - go to bedshould things start to turn the wrong way. Sitting at a very long traffic light? Starting to get irritated because “you’ve got places to go and things to do”? Start saying your gratitudes and concentrate on the things that are going to come to you. Before you know it, the light will change and you’ll be on your way feeling much happier.

Things not going well at work? Start your gratitudes. It’s amazing what a calming power saying your gratitudes has. It turned my life around 10 years ago when I was getting ready to retire from the Navy and move to San Antonio. I was experiencing such anxiety and couldn’t find a house and was so scared. I was to the point where I was going to give up and not retire at that point even though it was what I really wanted. So, on my next to last night, as I lay down to go to sleep, I decided to say my gratitudes and just started with being grateful for my parents, my brother even though estranged, my health etc. And when I ran out of them, I just started over. The next morning I woke up calmer than I think I ever had been. The result – I found a house that was totally perfect and was essentially filled with the components I had either had in my other houses (the components that I loved) or that I had envisioned. The funny part is that for “normal” people, the layout of this house would most likely have been a turn off. But to me, it had everything set the exact way I wanted it. Totally amazing. But what I do know is that the Universe heard me being grateful for everything I had and it gave me back all of that many times more than 10 fold.

Try it, I promise you’ll see a difference!

Are You Stuck Or Did You Choose To Be Where You Are?

by

are-you-stuck-2Being stuck really is a choice. Before you bristle at that, take a deep breath and sit back for a minute.

Unless there are extreme extenuating circumstances, you can always change something. Often it’s a “little” or simple change in thought process or what you do during the day or even just an attitude modification that can begin the momentum of change.

All it takes is for you to try “something” – anything at all will prompt some sort of change. Try to think about your circumstances in a different way. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to be Pollyanna but see if you can find something positive in an adverse situation.  This can be the tiniest thought or idea and once you start thinking about it, you’d be surprised how you can more easily continue down that lane. If you keep trying to focus on these better thoughts, you might even be able to replace the less than attractive ones. But, there is one caveat – you have to WANT to make some change.

Frequently we enjoy staying in the negative. It’s often more comfortable to be in the negative because a) that’s what we’re used to and b) it’s a way to get more attention – people are more likely to attend to your needs and “pat you on the back” (so to speak) when things aren’t going so well. That makes it so much easier and even desirable to stay in that mode. But what you don’t realize is that it’s also the easiest way to attract more of the adverse events. Remember that the Law of Attraction brings you more of what you focus on. And if you’re focusing on the “negative” and accruing the same type of focus and energy from others, then the Universe is going to bring you more of that.

Switch out your thoughts when you can. Try it in tiny bites. Take a situation and see what good you can find in it. This is your first step in crawling out of the quicksand. Once you’ve come up with that tiny bite, you can keep it in your mind or even write it down and then every time you start to go down that other path, you can pull it back up. Each time you find yourself feeling sad or upset about this event, try to come up with something new and good to focus on, no matter how small. Start creating a list. Here’s an example. You have a loved one in the hospital and you’re spending a lot of your time there. How could you possibly come up with something good given that your loved one is experiencing pain and discomfort? There’s nothing good in this, is there?

But perhaps you can think about all the really nice people you’re meeting whether it’s the health care workers or other visitors. Maybe it’s only one person but still that’s someone who has enriched your life. Maybe it’s more that you’re learning about your loved one or even what you’re learning about medicine in general? Maybe it’s even that you’re missing work and that’s a relief (do NOT go down the road that you’ll then have so much more work to catch up on just focus on the fact that you’re away from work and that’s a relief despite where you have to be instead).

Perhaps someone you love has died. Think about how they no longer are in pain or are suffering. It’s easy to be sad and miss that person and no one is suggesting you should totally cease having those feelings. Those feelings are part of the grief process. But as you’re experiencing it, look at the good things. If that person had been paralyzed, perhaps, think about how they are walking in the afterworld (Heaven, the Universe, whatever you call it) no longer paralyzed. Think about how they are looking down at you and smiling because they still love you. They are putting their arms out to you in love to comfort you. Try to rejoice in those things for a few seconds. Then you can revert to your grief if it comes back.

Try these small but impactful techniques! They will work.

Momentum Monday

by

momentum-monday1“It can be very helpful to understand that you do have a point of attraction and that you can control it. And your best opportunity to control it is when you first awaken each morning. It doesn’t take long to transform your point of attraction; 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 days of waking up in nonresistance and then deliberately focusing to maintain your state of lesser and lesser resistance will make a big difference in how you feel and the things that come into your experience. You will begin to receive insight and positive manifestations such as good-feeling emotions and good ideas will begin to flow to you.”  ~Abraham – Excerpted from the book: Co-creating at Its Best on November 13, 2013

It’s important to realize that all you really have to do is continually focus on the good that you are asking for. This does not mean to focus on what you don’t want to happen such as “I have no debt”. Instead you focus on “everything is paid off and I have so much extra money that I am lavishing in abundance” (or something similar that works for you.

Remember every morning (even before you get out of bed) to take some time to focus on what it is you want. Visualize it, think about it, laugh about it, love on it. Cradle it in your arms visually. Think about how wonderful your life will be when your gift comes to your door!

The early morning is when you have the least resistance. You’ve slept and relaxed and released much of the tension of the previous day. Your body and mind have had a chance to rejuvenate. Pick something you really want and do a trial of 20-30 mornings of focusing for at least a minute (preferably more) on it and the joy it will bring you.  Write down what happens in your life. Then add different times during the day when you can relax or meditate or just deep breathe and then focus another minute on what your life will be like when you have this in your life.

Keep us all posted if your life changes in some way with this simple 1-2 minute a day practice.

Perhaps You’re Not Ready To Accept Change?

by

pushing_someone_to_the_edge_of_custom_text_13242aPerhaps you want something but you aren’t ready to accept it. Change is not easy and it involves many aspects of your life.

In order to change you have to be able to adjust your thoughts and often your beliefs (not an easy thing to do). You have to modify your habits too. After all, a habit is a sequence of actions or thoughts that are just repeated over and over again. It’s kind of like Pavlov’s dogs where they respond with salivation to the ringing of the bell. I bet when you get up in the a.m. you have the exact same sequence of events – you get up, go to the bathroom, brush your teeth, wash your face, maybe take a shower, maybe put some clothes on etc. Each one of us has some variation on this theme that is repeated every day. Why do we do the same things over and over and over again? It’s easy and keeps us in a comfort zone. If we had to think about doing things in a different order every day, that would require more thinking and energy and probably inject some additional stress into your life that you don’t need.

Any kind of change requires a rewiring in your life – whether it’s in your thoughts, feelings, actions or both. So if you feel you’re resistant to change, try to go deep within yourself and see if you can figure out what it is in your life that would be altered. Once you identify those areas, it might be easier for you to accept the modification in your lifestyle. If you can look at the change in a stepwise manner, you might be able to approach it with less fear. I think that when we don’t really know what differences in our lives a particular change is going to make, then the fear mounts and our resistance increases. But if you can break down the dynamics of the change and what it will entail for you, then you can meet it head on and the fear won’t be as much of a factor.

Sometimes we’re not ready to accept change because we think that to make the change will be the same as admitting we are wrong, not as smart as the person who proposed the change or in some other way inferior. It can be pretty scary to mix up our lives and force us out of our routine. After all, how many times have you heard (or said) “it’s worked ok for all these years, why change now?”.   That’s just a defense mechanism to keep us from having to put any effort into doing things a different way and also admit that we could have been doing something better or more efficiently. To many people, admitting that is equivalent to admitting that they’ve been wrong and stupid. It’s not that at all. A fresh set of eyes always helps see how things can be done in a different way. It doesn’t mean that any one is dumb or stupid. That’s the first thing to remember when you’re starting to feel defensive when you are approached with a change recommendation.

Bottom line, if you don’t feel that you’re ready for change, dig deep inside yourself to analyze why you are resisting. This is key to understanding what’s going on in your head and in subsequently figuring out how to embrace it instead of pushing it away.
