Make Up Your MIND!

should-i-or-shouldnt-iStop fluctuating back and forth! Remember that the Universe brings you whatever you ask for but in order for you to receive it, you have to be in a space where you’re ready to receive it and allow it into your life. If you can’t make up your mind, the Universe creates what you have asked for but never gets a chance to deliver it because by the time it’s at your doorstep ready for the bell to ring with your “delivery”, you’ve changed your mind.

Decide what you want and then get specific. I’ve always used the easy example of a car. Let’s say you want a new car. Decide the brand (Ford, Chevy etc), then the model, then the color and all the features you want in the car (air conditioning, electric windows, heated seats, sunroof, seats that fold into the floor, enough space for my cargo (or my kids), etc). Go through everything you want in the car and write it down.

Then, if you can, go to a car dealer, get in a new car and breathe deep so you can get that new car smell fixed in your mind. If you see the car you want in the color you want, take a picture and put it on a story board. If you don’t see it in the lot, see if you can find one on the internet and print out that car’s picture. Then keep visualizing that car. Don’t switch next week to another type of car. It’s ok to keep adding features but stick to the basics.

Same goes if you want health. Do NOT think of healing because that reminds you and the Universe that you are sick and not whole…just as thinking about paying off your bills is actually thinking about lack. That is a major error that people have when they are working with the Law of Attraction. Yes, you want your bills paid off but do not think of the act, instead you can think of going to your mail box or your email and only getting ads or letters from friends. You don’t think about what’s missing (the bills), you think about what you are getting. You feel the peace of mind when you do go to your mailbox or open your email. You don’t have that dread and anxiety that you might now or might while you’re even paying them off.

But, back to health. See yourself in the healthy body you want. The weight you want, looking the age you want, being as fit as you want, accomplishing the physical activities you desire to accomplish. Find photos of athletes doing these things and visualize the beauty in yourself. See yourself as whole and healthy, full of energy and happiness.

Do not go back to the other side as it were. Once you’ve decided what it is you want in whatever aspect of your life you want it, then stick to that completely.

Make up your mind, be specific about what it is you want, list all the criteria and then stick to it. It will come to you! That’s the way the Law of Attraction works. You just have to do your part!

Momentum Monday

“The Law of Attraction states that you are basically a magnet, attracting the images that are inside your head.”
by Frank Mangano

If you think of the Law of Attraction in this way, it might help you focus on good images and generate good feelings/vibrations. Think of carrying a magnet around in your pocket all the time. You will pay attention to what you’re walking near so you only attract what you want to attract (coins for instance) and avoid things you don’t want being drawn up to your pocket (like nails, screws, scrap metal).

So why shouldn’t you do the same with your life. Use that magnet and pull in more of the things you want in your life. Think of the Corona Beer Ads with the two people sitting on the beach and looking out into the ocean.  They are attracting more beauty, peace, reverence (and beer, of course) into their life by creating the tranquil scene in their world. You can do the same thing using the Kodak Moments or visualizing something or someone beautiful in your life.

As you focus on that thing or person, the Universe will know that you want more of it and will immediately bring it to you. Then, your only other job is to allow it into your life. No more of the “I’m unworthy” or “I don’t deserve such good things” etc. Just picture it being in your life and when you can, think about how much you do deserve it and how much you want it.

If you have to just picture the magnet in your body (think of the “u” part of the magnet as your upper torso and the legs as your arms reaching out to receive).

Practice this image – you are the magnet, when you see (or think about) something you want more of, walk toward it and spread out your arms and visualize it coming into your life. When you see something (or feel it) that you do NOT want in your life, turn around and put your arms at your side. Visualize yourself pushing it away. Make this a game.

See what happens this week as you play magnet. Let us know by commenting below.

You Are What You Thought…. AND What You Feel

you-are-what-you-thoughtYou always hear “You are what you think”. But that’s only partially true.  That sentence should be reworded to “you become what you think and feel”. What you currently ARE is a result of what you’ve thought and felt prior to right now. In other words, what you “thought” before.

It doesn’t really do anyone any good to wonder “why me”, “why did this happen to me” because they don’t really want the answer which is that we have brought everything into our lives that we have. The Law of Attraction always words – even when things aren’t as we wish. The Law of Attraction doesn’t work only with the things we say we desire.

Everything in our lives was brought there by our thoughts and feelings. Always remember that. When you start to get angry at someone or criticize someone or some thing, ask yourself what you’re feeling right now and if you really want more of that in your life.  Because you are focusing on that emotion and pretty strongly perhaps, too, if you’re angry.

That emotion is what you are focusing on and what you are putting out to the Universe. Remember that the Universe stands ready to bring you whatever it is you’re looking for and concentrating on. When you put such emotion into a thought or feeling such as anger, the Universe doesn’t know that it’s just a temporary thing. It thinks (if it could think) “wow, Terrie is really focusing on that thing…she must want more”.

Laws Are NOT Made To Be Broken

laws not to be broken 1You often hear people say “rules are made to be broken”. Even though it sometimes is meant as a joke, people often are serious. They feel it’s ok to break rules and as long as they aren’t “caught”, everything’s fine and dandy.

When it comes to the Universal laws, however, there is no breaking them. Take the most known one – the Law of Attraction – for instance. How would you break the “Law”? By focusing on the things that you don’t want all the while expecting what you want to show up in your life.  The Universe does not respond to words – “I want a million dollars”. It responds to your feelings, your vibrations – “I have so many blasted bills to pay, I’ll never get anywhere since I just don’t have enough money”. Even while writing this I could feel the frustration and even despair that would be in someone’s voice if they were saying that. Those are the emotions. There’s frustration, despair, helplessness, anger, depression, disappointment, etc. These are what the Universe responds to. And, as such, this is what you will receive – more lack, more bills. Why? That is the Law – you receive what you ask for and by concentrating on or focusing on the lack, the bills, that is what the Universe thinks you’re asking for – more of it.

“But I can’t escape reality” you say. “The reality is that I have all these bills ad I’m NOT making a million dollars nor do I see how I ever could. How do you expect me to believe and focus on that?” I don’t. I know that it would seem unrealistic and unbelievable for you to believe you have a million dollars when you have a load of bills to pay. You can’t lie to yourself. Well, you could lie to yourself but you wouldn’t believe that lie. So how do you keep from breaking the Law.

You change what you’re thinking about and focusing on. If you’re ill and have a less than desirable diagnosis, you won’t be able to change that just by making an affirmation. So, you have to find something else to focus on – that Kodak moment I keep referring to. When you are thinking about something that makes you feel good or accomplished, then you build up your momentum and your entire body energy alters and that energy will go about working all throughout your body to try to facilitate manifestation of health.

The YOUniverse

youniverse With all the talk we’ve done about vibrations and momentum, it’s so important to realize that EVERYTHING in your life is centered around YOU. That’s why you should think of your surroundings as your YOUniverse.

No, this is NOT selfish but it is self-centered. Most people have a negative reaction to that phrase too – self-centered. But, if you understand the Law of Attraction and the fact that you create everything in your life, you will realize that this requires self-centeredness (is that a word?).

However, this concept is also the most generous and giving there is. Because if you get your own momentum going in the direction you wish (some call it positive although there really is no positive and negative when it comes to emotions) and your vibrations are elevated, you will be doing more for those around you than you can by taking conscious actions.

When you create your world, it’s so important that you focus on the things that make you feel good. Focusing on them will bring more of that good feeling into your life. Remember that you only have to “Ask” the Universe once for something. Then move on to raising your vibration and getting yourself in the right space (vibration) to accept what you have asked for. That 3rd step is the hardest part for us humans. We “ask” all the time – any time we think about something for more than 17 seconds we’ve essentially asked for more of it.  After we’ve asked, the Universe immediately provides it – but what happened? It sure hasn’t appeared as a physical manifestation in your life. So does that mean it doesn’t work? No, it means two things, one of which we should be very grateful for – we cannot immediately manifest things in our life – there is the Law of Gestation which means that things come into your life when the time is right. Dr. Kunath used to use a great example in her own  life. When her kids were little she recognized one day how grateful she was that she didn’t immediately manifest what she said. She found herself looking out the door and seeing her kids playing on top of the neighbor’s roof. She screamed at them “Get down from there – you’re going to fall and break your neck”. At that moment she realized that we needed much more Divine Wisdom to be able to immediately manifest. Otherwise some of the really stupid things we say would actually come true. She also gave a presentation at one of the big international conferences on “Oops, what do you do when you get what you asked for”.  Something to think about for sure. Thank goodness for the requirement for 68 seconds of focus (concentrating on something for a series of 4 consecutive 17 second periods puts the Universe into action bringing you what you’ve asked for). Most people can’t (or don’t) focus on one thing for that long.

The second implication from not receiving what we ask for (or so it seems) is even more important. We must “Allow” the physical manifestation to come into our life.  Many times this is because we’ve been taught that we shouldn’t ask for things or 1236855_603864969656204_580817517_nthat we have to deserve something or earn something.  We have all sorts of limiting beliefs – beliefs that keep us from accepting that we are deserving, we are worthy of receiving what we’ve asked for.  That’s where the vibration/emotions and momentum comes into play. Concentrating on your YOUniverse and how you feel and think and act with the express purpose of being at the highest vibration possible while generating and maintaining momentum on a higher plane will put you in a space where you allow the Universe to bring you what you asked for. Remember my analogy of placing your order (asking), the company fulfills and ships the order (the Universe gives you what you’ve asked for). The shipper is at your front door but if you don’t answer the door or open it to receive what you’ve ordered, you will continually think that your order has not been filled. And you’ll get disappointed, discouraged and disbelieving.

It’s so important for you to work on realizing that what you have in your life is something you’ve asked for at another time in your life. Make a list of the good and bad things that you’ve experienced and see if at some point in the past you hadn’t been concerned or focused on something of that nature.

Being positive, by itself, won’t work. You can say affirmations all day long (and I’m a big believer in affirmations), but if you haven’t cleared the land of your limiting beliefs (especially the self-worth and deserving beliefs), you will blocking the good from coming into your life. For example, you can say affirmations in the morning and the evening but if all day long, you’re thinking about those bills you can’t pay, that is what’s prominent in your vibrations and feelings. As such, you’ve spent much more time on the not having enough money to pay your bills, that you will receive more and more of that as long as you continue thinking that way.

This is why my YOUniversal phrases are (I know I repeat them a lot but they have gotten me out of trouble so many times that I can’t say them enough):

“That is not my truth”

“Nothing and nobody can interfere with my prosperity, well-being and peace of mind, not even myself!”

And say them with emphasis. Keep saying them until your fear or anxiety level has significantly decreased and you can focus on one of your “Kodak Moments” stored in the album in your mind – mine is always running related and it works!

Concentrating on your life will bring you all you need to provide the love and kindness for others that you really want to. You hear all the time that you have to love yourself before you can love others. That applies in every aspect of your life.

Start working more in your YOUniverse and remember the 17 second rule (four periods of focusing for 17 seconds will get you to 68 seconds and that is essential for bringing the manifestation into your life).
