Energy Attracts

God. Yes, I said it. I am a child of science. I was born in the 1960s and grew up in the 70s. My world was filled with scientific stuff like sending people to the moon, movies and television, airplanes and the beginnings of computers. I went to church with my family on Sundays at a traditional New England protestant church and learned about God and Jesus by coloring pictures of sheep and shepherds... the relevance was lost on me and I couldn't wait to go home and watch tv. I learned that God was a man who looked a little like Santa Claus, I sang a few hymns, and I didn't really get it. Years later, and through diligent study of quantum physics, reading everything I could get my hands on regarding the Law of Attraction and world religions, I began to strip away some of my preconceived notions about God and for a while I started calling God something else in order for me to fully understand the concept of energetic and vibrational connection. I understood the power of thought...

Like a good story about a Hero or Heroine? Well, here's a dose of reality. You are your own Superhero.  When you make good decisions for your life, you are a superhero. Vibrate on that for a minute. Lose a few pounds? Superhero. Save some money for an investment? Superhero. Give a nice gift to someone else? Superhero. Overcome a habit or addiction? Superhero! Get it?  So when you are feeling down about life.. try to remember the last time you did something good for yourself. Channel your inner Superman or Wonder Woman and remember that the little niceties in life are what contribute to the greater good. So, keep doing your good deeds. Here is the visual for my inner Wonder Woman.. I had to remind myself of this today, too. Thought I would share.

I had a very strange experience the other day when I stopped into a WalMart to get a greeting card. I was walking out of the store at a pretty good clip. As I approached the automatic door, I did not in any way slow down my pace. I knew that it would open for me and I knew I wouldn't run face first into it. Therefore, I didn't slow down and I plowed right through. Sure enough, at the last minute, the doors opened for me.  This stood out to me as a powerful message about life . Sometimes, despite efforts to move ahead in the direction of your dreams, it might seem that the door is closed. You have to believe that the door is automatic and that it will open for you . You have to know that the path ahead is waiting for you and that your future will unfold. Trust. Ask. Believe. Receive.

Let's play a game. Look at the following picture:  Now, focus on the dark rocks ... See how they start to pop out at you? Go back to the picture, and now focus only on the light rocks . See how your brain organizes color?  Now, try paying attention to just the dark spaces between the rocks. Cool, huh? Focus.  Why not only choose to focus on the happy rocks ? By that I mean... Why not choose to focus on only that which is good in our lives ? Look how simply your brain will reorganize and allow ................ Everything in your life has positive aspects that you can shift your focus on. Try it as an exercise for the day. Focus on the shiny "happy rocks" in your life. P.S. You know I am talking about gratitude again, right?

In the vast Universe.. Where beyond your body, beyond your community, beyond the whole earth, beyond the many planets of the solar system, beyond the galaxy to other galaxies, and beyond to infinity, you exist.   Feel Small ? In the vast Universe Where inside your body exist patterns that mimic space. Splinters in eyes, and patterns in fingerprints, strings of DNA, billions of cells, doing billions of jobs, energy firing neurons, like electrical storms, communicate throughout your body, in an unconscious miracle of life. Feel Big?

Having it all. What is it ALL? Have you ever really stopped and asked yourself what it is that you want?  It wasn't long ago that I was practicing the law of attraction successfully and manifesting all kinds of little and easy things to bring the feeling of abundance. And it worked! I really couldn't believe it! I focused on little achievements, things I KNEW I could achieve, and suddenly, every little thing I wanted became available in one way or another. It was amazing!  I was carefully and positively asking....and I was receiving. Albeit, realistic and super small goals. (check out yesterday's post, I couldn't find a pony tail elastic, and I stopped and prayed about it and within a short time, I began to find them EVERYWHERE!!) Anyway, I was really starting to achieve things that I desired. However, slowly, and without sudden notice, some of the things I had been "taking for granted" became new worries. I gained a few pounds, I wasn't moving...
