Visualization comes more easily to some of us than others, but everyone can learn to use the focus of a vision to become a more powerful deliberate creator.
I am a very visual person. I see images and they are often emblazoned on my mind. This can be a liability for a “deliberate creator” because it means that I can easily vividly focus on what I don’t want. If you have a visual learning style, you may want to have a few tools for letting go of the images you don’t want to be focusing on and replacing them with the ones you DO want.
In the Abraham-Hicks teachings, they say “Look around less. Imagine more.” This is because when we keep looking at “what is”, we keep validating the current experience. Fine, when you like what you see, but what about when you are seeking improvement?
I noticed that I have a very powerful ability to recall what I have seen and hold the image in my mind. How I turn that into an asset in deliberate creating is to use the power of my imagining to create even more vivid images than those I am currently looking at. Here are two ways to do that:
To bring yourself more into alignment with Source Energy and raise your vibration, have you ever considered “doing nothing”?
Yes, let’s talk about the forgotten art of resting. By resting I do not mean sleeping, nor is it about meditation. This is the art of, what I call “laying about”. It turns out that Americans, in particular, have a deficit in this area. We are a country of dreamers, of inventors, of entrepreneurs.
So, as you make yet another “to do” list in the endless quest for self improvement, it might be a good time to ask: “When was the last time you just did nothing?” I don’t even mean curling up with a good book or puttering around in your jammies on a Saturday. I mean plunking yourself down and watching the fire blaze in your wood stove or sitting in a sunny window and watching the birds.
In my stress programs I help people to recall and re-experience moments that bring them joy, peace or appreciation. Just recalling such experiences is restorative! It also brings us into what Abraham-Hicks calls “The Vortex”. When we just BE and APPRECIATE, there is no experience of resistance or trying hard or pushing against things.
Have you noticed how everyone seems to be on the gratitude band wagon these days?
Perhaps you’ve even started a Gratitude Journal or go to bed saying what you are grateful for. But, do you know the reason behind being grateful? Below I have listed three reasons why the law of attraction is so responsive to your gratitude and how that supercharges your manifestations.
The Tradition of Thank You Notes
Reason #3- When I was a girl, my parents insisted I write thank-you notes when I received gifts from my elderly relatives. I was told that, if I didn’t thank them, they would stop sending me gifts. As a child I learned that my thank you note ensured that my relative knew how much I enjoyed the gift and made it more likely that I would be gifted again! As an adult, I thank the Universe for all the gifts I receive. This is a way of saying “Yes! I like this and will be happy to have more gifts of this type. Thanks for noticing what I enjoy.” When it comes to expressing gratitude, whether to a friend, an auntie or the Universe, it is important to let the giver know that you appreciated it.
Thoughts are vibration.
The vibration of thoughts creates allowing or resistance to what we have asked the Universe for. Once you ask for what you want, the Universe delivers. But, the way that you tune your thoughts affects your ability to allow your good results to come to you. That is how the law of attraction works.
Think of the aspect of you that is always connected and aware of your inner light and beauty, the part that is attuned to All That Is. When you are in the flow and aware of your divine nature, you will naturally feel awash with love and joy. This is when you are dialed in for allowing your results to arrive.
A joyful journey of gratitude, celebration and inspired action. This video, inspired by the teachings of Abraham-Hicks, is my gift to help you to ease into success. Watch it daily for a jump start to an amazing day.
There are so many things I love about this recording. And I’m still really blown away that it is this easy to share it with you. Technology has definitely been moving too fast for me lately. My kids both have iPods, but I still listen to my music on a CD player.
Every morning I pop the Unleash Your Success CD that Neil made for me into the player. I like that it is short enough to listen to every morning. I’m a busy working mom, but I can always find the 5 minutes it takes to set myself up to feel the freedom to succeed. And I know that the benefits of doing something little, a lot of times are huge.
So many people just try to DO too much. They either end up exhausted and missing out on the joy of being alive, or discouraged because they aren’t succeeding after so much “efforting”.
When my geeky husband, Neil told me how easy it was to share audios, I realized I could give you something you could easily use: A joyful, gentle and quick reminder to stay in tune with your greatness.
Each day that you listen, you will find it easier and easier to believe and know that you deserve success. It’s been working for me!
Have a fabulous time connecting with the star that you are!
Law of Attraction is based on the fact that we live in a vibrational universe. Your thoughts are the vibrational seeds of creation. Every manifestation was once a thought. The feelings that accompany a thought let you know that your vibrations are a match for the outcomes that you desire.
So, if you are thinking about what you want, but feeling about its absence…what are you creating? You are creating more of the lack or absence of your desire.
How can you be happy about something you want but you don”t have?
I am not called the Joy Genie because I grant wishes, but because I know how to get happy. And getting truly in a vibration of joy is one of the fundamental ways to make sure the Universe grants your wishes. This is because the Law of Attraction responds to the vibrations of thoughts, not the words. So, if you are thinking, “I really want to take a beach vacation in Maui”, but your vibration is one of lack, you aren’t sending the right message. If your emotions are a match for the empty and deprived feelings you have when you think about how you wish you could do that, you are not a match for it.
Have you ever noticed that when professional athletes make a point or a goal that they celebrate that goal in the moment? Whether it is the dance in the end zone of a football game, or a fist pump or “come on” in a tennis match, athletes know how important it is to keep up their energy by focusing on their success. People who play games for a living know how to celebrate.
If you are like a lot of people, you don’t often spend much time recognizing yourself for your successes. You probably recognize that you have accomplished your goal, to some degree. Perhaps you also do some of these things:
* Criticize yourself for taking too long
* Tell yourself you didn’t do it well enough
* Immediately start working on your next goal
This is a problem because the feeling of success is so important for creating happiness. When you take the time to pat yourself on the back, you build up your own self-esteem and your sense of self-worth. You also spend time basking in the feeling of joy that comes from the success. You may have been taught that it is wrong to “blow your own horn” and have mistakenly believed that to mean that you shouldn’t talk about your accomplishments. Maybe you worry that others will think you are boastful.
Where do mistakes fit in to the Law of Attraction? Is there such a thing as a mistake? Or is it time to find a new way of viewing experiences that don’t turn out the way we had hoped they would? Authors Esther and Jerry Hicks (who offer the teachings of Abraham) call experiences we don’t enjoy “contrast”. Perhaps mistakes are forms of contrast, helping us to get clearer about our desire.
Enjoying the contrast?
That’s one of the questions Abraham always asks the attendees at an Abraham-Hicks Law of Allowing workshop.Contrast is a word that we don’t often think of when focusing on things we are unhappy about. And one thing folks often have contrast about is when we think we have goofed, blown it, or “ruined everything”.
Somehow, many of us grew up learning that we had to do a lot in order to prove our worthiness. Maybe you’ve noticed that “doing” is often about pleasing others and getting their validation that we are worthy. And, it’s really impossible to please everyone! When I finally got that I didn’t have to prove that I was good enough, I started to have a lot more fun and succeed more.
Have you noticed that when you think about something and are feeling good about it, you have lots of energy and excitement about accomplishing it? I sure have. When we were planning our family trip to Hawaii, I was so excited about it. I must have looked at the travel brochure 100 times, imagining how much fun we all were going to have. It just felt so good to think about that.
How would it feel to live each day choosing to DO what feels good and feeling good about what you DO? When you choose actions that feel good, instead of actions that prove you are good, you set yourself up for a great day.
Focus on thinking about things that feel good, and you will find success unfolding easily each day. Feelings of joy and appreciation naturally move you toward success.
