Be Careful What You Think About

The other day I went to a restaurant for lunch. A nice place where they box up your leftovers for you instead of making you do it yourself. This sometimes makes me anxious, as I don't like the food leaving my control.

Deciding what to order led me to thinking about leftovers. I thought, it must be hard for the waiter to remember to box something up -- it must be second nature to toss it as soon as they get in the back (I pictured food sliding off the plate in the back room). Then I let it go and moved on.

After I ate, at least half of my main course was left, so I asked for it to go. As you may have guessed, a few minutes later my waiter came back and with great apologies told me he had dropped it when he got into the back. He offered me free dessert or coffee, which I declined. I felt responsible, as if I had made him do it!

So... be careful what you spend your energy thinking about!

Applying the Law of Attraction

Rodney found this website - might be worth checking out: http://applying-the-law-of-attraction.com/

He found some useful steps in manifesting and positive thinking. I'm going to go look at it (after I get another cup of tea).

Segment Intending

“The Law of Attraction” by Esther and Jerry Hicks

While this book reads very similarly to Rhonda Burne’s “The Secret” which came out at about the same time, there are some important differences. There is a very powerful ingredient in the Hick’s book I want to share called Segment Intending. Your day is made up of a number of “segments” so before each one starts, stop to think about what you want. About to hop into the car to drive to work – this is a “segment” so intend to get there safely and quickly. Now at work – another “segment” is the beginning of your day until your first break – what do you want to accomplish and how do you want it to go. This really helps you focus on what it most important to you at the moment and keeps you on track. And it can help you not get overwhelmed by all the big intentions you have. I have found it very helpful although I still get caught up in the busy-ness of work and forget to intend anything often!

Predict the future?

Believe you can "see" the future? Seth, via Jane Roberts, talks about future events "shadowing" or conversely "illuminating" the past (our present). I'm also reading this in "The Power of Premonitions" by Larry Dossey. It's a bit stuffy but interesting nonetheless. This book mentions a website I will include here - you can test and maybe hone your predictions skills!  http://www.gotpsi.org/   James Arthur Ray also discusses "future pull" where your future self can receive your thoughts and feelings now if you are in alignment; and if you are, you manifest that future self.

Note to self - keep working on it!

12 ways the law of attraction can improve your life

Article sounds a lot like The Secret to me. http://www.businessinsider.com/how-the-law-of-attraction-will-improve-your-life-2012-7?op=1 They are promoting a new book. Anyone familiar with Esther and Jerry Hicks? I might have heard Joe Vitale mention them.

Getting What You Want

I want to share this from Jack Canfield in "The Secret." I was listening to the CD on the way to work and this really struck me; page 92 for those with the book. I changed the formatting for emphasis.

• Decide what you want.
• Believe you can have it. Believe you deserve it and believe it's possible for you.
• And then close your eyes every day for several minutes and visualize having what you already want, feeling the feelings of already having it.
• Come out of that and focus on what you're grateful for already and really enjoy it.
• Then go into your day and release it to the Universe and trust that the Universe will figure out how to manifest it.

What a powerful way to begin each day! 

Lavinia recently gave me some advise and it's appropriate to share here: "be very clear about what you want to manifest." Think about getting what you want by a certain date and, if it's money, be clear about the amount. 

The Present is Your Point of Power

This information comes from "The Magical Approach" by Jane Roberts, p.57.

Here's a 5-minute exercise (paraphrased) that can help manifest:

• Sit quietly and look around; become aware of the present as your point of power.
• Realize our past beliefs may not serve us.
• We can insert new creative goals into our minds. Think of a new goal or belief for yourself.
• Relax. Let the new suggestion or idea sink in. Maybe picture yourself with it already done.
• Now take a simple action or step towards your new goal, however small this step is. Do something that is in line with your new goal.

Repeat this exercise as needed.
