Law Of Attraction: Your Reality Mirrors What Is Within

Law Of Attraction: Your Reality Mirrors What Is Within
By Wenny Yap

Please don’t be mistaken! It is not the law of attraction that is attracting all you want into your life but the power of your goal-seeking mind. If you have a clear understanding about this natural law of the Universe that almost everyone has taken for granted, you will believe that this statement is true.

The law of attraction had been laid down through the ages to conceptualize the conviction that “like attracts like” where positive and negative thinking bring about positive and negative physical results respectively. It partners with the most powerful creative force in the Universe… YOUR MIND! This partnership will do everything to create and attract all that you need and want as your reality. It turns you into a master manifestor. The truth of the matter is that you are already one because you do it every day!

The law of attraction is always at work in every aspect of your life, knowingly or unknowingly. Believe me when I tell you that everything currently existing in your life reflects back to you what is actually going on inside you. Your desire or fear, your dominant thoughts and feelings, they influence the images that you make inside your mind. Whatever you are aware of and whatever you focus on, you simply need to realize that your outer world is a reflection of your inner world.

The pictures you generate consciously, though often times unconsciously, are responsible for how you are creating your life. When you are focused on avoiding an unwanted situation or a bad thing, you are really creating that image in your mind. This is because your thoughts and emotions have been hijacked by your dire need to avoid them that your mind simply creates the image in your imagination as clear as day. As far as the law of attraction is concerned, if you are focusing on it so much you must really want it, right?

Looking onto the extreme opposite, you can consciously and deliberately attract a life of fulfillment by creating your feel good inner world. Although a positive thinker does not refuse to recognize the negative, you will refuse to dwell on it no matter what happens. Maintaining a positive mindset, you habitually look for the best results from the worst conditions. You know it is always possible to expect the best for yourself even though things look bad. Remarkably, if you are thinking positively and optimistic, your creative mind automatically responds with feel good imageries. Needless to say, your reality will mirror your new perspective.

“Reality is the mirror of your thoughts. Choose well what you put in front of the mirror.” ~ Ramez Sasson

Remember that nothing in the world created your disappointments and misery but your own state of consciousness that created the ugliness. People who do not fully comprehend the law of attraction may tell you, “Beware of the dangers of your thoughts!” However, firm believers of this natural law of the universe know the statement to be untrue. Your thoughts and emotions need not be your enemies at all.

Your inner state of consciousness is easier to control than what you perceive around you. It will be easier for your eliminate all the negativities from within you rather than from the outer world. Without doubt, the key is to rid the negative thoughts and emotions from your inner world. Continually dwelling in them breeds fear, sometimes paralyzing fear!

I freelance as a ghostwriter and I also write regularly to share my learning curves, thoughts and manifesting experiences with the Law of Attraction on my blog at “Inside My Bubble Today”.

The Reason You Are Alive and What That Has To Do With Meaning and Happiness

The Reason You Are Alive and What That Has To Do With Meaning and Happiness
By Dr. Robert Henry Schwenk

You have asked “Why am I alive?” in one form or another. The answer has to do with what you do with meaning and happiness.

Everyone wonders at some point in their lives, perhaps at several points in their lives, why they are alive. What am I doing here (on earth)?

Here is the answer, as I see it, in three words: expression, animation and manifestation. (That these three words rhyme is fortunate.)

We need to start with what many name God. Please drop all baggage you may be carrying that contains the term “God.”

Let me give a working definition of “God” here that we might start fresh. God is a Singularity. The Singularity. It may be said that God is the Universe – The Whole of It. The Entirety.

As such then God cannot do anything but be everything. God cannot be in relationship to anything else because there is nothing else. But by terms that we humans understand, being The Only means there can be no relationships.

Without relationships, entities cannot not define themselves. God cannot say “I am thus and you are such.” In God’s life there is no “such” because there is no other.

So we came into being, through the mind of God. (I believe it may be that there are other sentient beings in the Universe wherein God may be found as well. But we are dealing with humans only in this writing.)

What then is the reason we are alive? We are to be the expression, animation and manifestation of God. We give what we term as “life” to God. We can be in relationship to other things and beings.

Without our expression, God would be silent, eternally silent. But we can sing and dance and speechify and paint and write and sculpt. We can do all manner of benign and malignant things to declare our aliveness. By so doing we enliven God.

Because we have the largest mental capacity of any beings we know, we can genuinely say that we have the greatest range of animation possible as well. We can be the most alive of all the species on this earth.

By that I mean we can be the most diversified in terms of liveliness of all else upon this planet. In our dancing and speechifying, etc., we can give the widest range of possibilities. Because we have this potential it behooves us to demonstrate it as best we can.

We do not yet know the limits of our possibilities.

We are also the most manifesting creatures that we know. Because God is The Singularity, God cannot manifest, or be incarnate outside of Itself, for there is no “outside of Itself” when it comes to God.

But because we have the capacities of expression and animation, we can be the most manifesting creatures. We can make the most things and or experiences real, tangible, incarnate.

That is part of our job description – to make things and thoughts real. We can take the thoughts of God and make them “appear” within The Singularity.

Here are the reasons you are alive:

1. To be the expression of The Singularity.

2. To be the animation of The Singularity.

3. To be the manifestation of The Singularity.

What does this have to do with meaning and happiness?

When you make constant and deep connection with The Singularity, you plug into The Singularity. You realize your place within The Singularity. In that meld you find the meaning of your life. Expression, animation, manifestation all give you meaning. That meaning has a one word expression – happiness. To know your meaning is to know happiness.

You then show your happiness to yourself and to others by expressing yourself, animating who you are by actions in the world, and by manifesting what The Singularity is through your own life.

There you have the whole package: meaning, happiness, purpose.

You are alive to be what The Singularity cannot.

Get to it.

What Is The Link Between Guided Imagery, Your Intellect, And Your Imagination?

 

What Is The Link Between Guided Imagery, Your Intellect, And Your Imagination?
By Max Highstein

Accessing the imagination is the key to creative problem solving, and it can also be very valuable in healing. The biggest limitation to using our imagination creatively is the intellect. Guided imagery helps us to slip past the intellect and use our imagination to solve problems, work creatively, and heal from within.

The intellect is something like a small computer. It can take the data it has been fed, and come up with various combinations of that data, and feed it back. It’s helpful for doing things like filling out forms, balancing a check book, and telemarketing. The intellect can only play a small part when it comes to real creativity, and tapping into the rich inner resources we all carry with us. For that, we need imagination, and the inspiration to use it.

Most adults have a complicated relationship to our imagination. We have fun using it on the rare occasions we allow ourselves to. But at some point during childhood or adolescence we figured out that with the possible exception of the theater, society tends to frown upon “make believe” as a way of being in the world.

That tends to be anathema for the imagination, so we stop using it. At that point, the imagination gets relegated to a backseat in our consciousness, and the intellect pretty much takes over. We actually begin to devote inner resources to keeping the imagination in check, so it doesn’t leak out at inappropriate times. The farther we get from the natural state in which the imagination is used on an ongoing basis (childhood) the harder it becomes to access.

But in order to come up with new solutions to new problems, and in order to shift our attitude inside to one that’s most conducive to healing, the imagination is required. Suddenly, we’re trying to use something we’ve told ourselves to avoid, and we’re stuck. In general the more intellect-focused a person is, the harder time they will have using their imagination.

Guided imagery is a workaround for the problem. A typical guided meditation asks us to relax – to set aside the intellect for a while. The soothing voice and soft music in the background tend to create a sense of safety that lets the intellect quiet down a bit. The images suggested in a guided meditation program (a gentle breeze, clouds, a mountain stream, etc.) tend to be triggers for our imagination to take off.

Role of Meditation in Relieving Stress

Role of Meditation in Relieving Stress
By Chamunda Swami Ji

Stress has become an unavoidable aspect of our lives. In fact, we all experience stress at some or the other point of life. Stress takes its toll, physically, mentally and emotionally. Though a little amount of stress is beneficial, it becomes an affliction when it starts taking toll on our health. Since meditation provides both physical as well as mental relaxation, it’s a great way to relieve stress.

Meditation allows you to recharge, re-vitalize and re-energize your body mind and soul. In fact, meditation has an altogether opposite effect that stress does. Besides giving your mind a transparent outlook and a new viewpoint, meditation puts you in touch with the infinite power of the universe giving you access to everything you need.

While practicing meditation, your heart rate and breathing slows down, your blood pressure comes under control, and you make use of oxygen in a better way. Meditation allows you to focus silently so that your mind remains so busy concentrating on breathing and body form that you are left with no time to think about the factors that are causing you stress.

While meditating, you got to take care of certain things. The first thing you need to do is find a silent and peaceful space without any distractions, for meditating. Sit comfortably in an erect posture, with folded legs and closed eyes so that unwanted energy may leave through your feet and you remain undistracted.

Listen to your breath, imagine thoughts that would create rhythm with your breathing and console the mind.

Unlike other medical therapies, meditation offers no side effects. In fact, people with physical restrictions may find it easier to practice meditation for relieving stress instead of performing arduous physical exercise. Though a professional can guide you properly to learn the art of meditation, it could be learned by self- practice. However, it does take discipline and commitment.

Meditation takes you away from your busy life’s stresses and puts you in a quiet inner space of relief. Though some people may find it difficult to focus their attention regular practice will improve their abilities.

Do not expect instant results or any sort of miracles to happen. The benefits of meditation are wide-ranging and to reap the fruitful benefits of meditation one would require patience, determination as well as strong will power.

So, meditate regularly to reduce your stress level and keep your mind free from tension and worry.

How Enlightenment Resides In You

How Enlightenment Resides In You
By Craig Villarrubia

As I look back at my spiritual journey it is clear that my personal understanding of enlightenment has evolved. Early in my search I remember getting a glimpse of its promises through self-help and spiritual texts. I associated enlightenment with visions, specialness, power and bliss. It was all very attractive to the ego. What better way to aggrandize oneself than to achieve enlightenment? Hence I became a spiritual “seeker.”

Like so many other ego ventures this one was designed to keep me in a trap. You see, as long as I identified myself as a “seeker” of enlightenment I would ensure that I never found enlightenment. In my search I read book after book. I listened to tape after tape and traveled from workshop to study program. I spent countless hours in meditation. All of which certainly evolved my spiritual experience (and arguably led me to an enlightened experience), but none of it really sealed the deal. I never felt as if I could walk with the fortitude that I had achieved enlightenment.

In my mind I had made up “enlightenment” to be a moment of time where I would be blessed with all knowledge. It was an achievement that would be awarded to me for all my good hard work. I thought “perhaps one day in the midst of meditation I would feel it.” I would tell myself “if I can just quiet my mind a little longer.” There were times when I convinced myself that I almost had it. “Happiness is so close” I told myself. The fatal error in all of this was that I placed enlightenment outside my reach and into the future. It was always something to work towards.

In Truth everyone is already enlightened. A lesson I would eventually learn along the way. In A Course in Miracles Jesus says it best “There is nothing about me that you cannot attain. I have nothing that does not come from God. The difference between us now is that I have nothing else. This leaves me in a state which is only potential in you.” Jesus was saying that his enlightenment is attainable to all of us at our choosing provided we relinquish what is not of God. Being a spiritual “seeker” is NOT of God, that was of the ego. In its attempt to hide the truth from me, the ego would have me believe that enlightenment (along with many other things) lived in a future place. But in fact, all visions, specialness, power and bliss is accessible to us right now.

That experiential discovery of Truth IS enlightenment. I don’t have to chase it. Simply allowing what is, exposes the Truth. There is no “road to enlightenment” since a road would imply separation and some kind of distance to be traveled. Enlightenment therefore can be better understood as the discovery of what already is (rather than an accomplishment.) It’s not a destination where all my problems are solved but rather a shift in viewpoint where I can see that there are no problems. Identification shifts from the “little me” called Craig to Oneness and connectivity to all. I’ve come to realize an infinite extension of awareness rests in presence for everyone’s exploration, enjoyment and discovery.

There is no need to suffer. Discover the peace and joy that’s yours.

How To Define A State Of Mystical Awareness?

How To Define A State Of Mystical Awareness?
By Debasish Dey

It is not easy to define what goes on in a person’s mind in a state of heightened consciousness. Many a time, glinting flashes of truth streak in through clouds of uncertainty and fall on the eclipsed mind, dispelling its darkness. This dispelling may be momentary, yet the euphoria of the moment makes it seem like eternity.

From the time you initiate yourself into a state of intense awareness, your mind starts racing in all directions. You can compare it to a car that has gone out of control. You can imagine this car to be running on a different track altogether-a track that stretches across a surreal terrain dotted with bizarre natural formations. However, you who are sitting at the driver’s seat cannot gaze at a sight for very long, because you just cannot slow down your car. It has gone totally out of control, and is zooming ahead with supersonic speed. It will slow down only by itself, when its fuel is running low. Yet you enjoy the ride wholeheartedly, because the quick glimpses of the sights you see through your car’s windscreen are enough to kindle in you a sheer sense of wonder and fascination. Try to imagine the excitement of a child who on her first train journey watches the profusion of colors and design in the landscapes that race past her window. In a state of intense awareness, the human mind experiences a somewhat similar thrill.

So when does the mind experience moments of heightened awareness? Anything can trigger it-from reading Tolkien to watching the intergalactic scenes in Star Wars, from the psychedelic colors of Picasso or Dali to the abstract cinematic narratives of Bergman or Buuel. We can just let our minds absorb the vast pool of metaphysical data present in art, literature, and even cinema. We should not forget that true metaphysics has nothing to do with voodoo or such ritualistic mumbo-jumbo. Metaphysical thinking is akin to the thinking of Nietzsche, Osho, Kafka, or Gibran. There was a certain ‘method’ in the heightened madness of these philosophers, which people in their age could not grasp.

It is a fact that in this world everyone is a philosopher to a certain degree. We only differ in our levels of philosophical awareness. All of us do experience sudden sparks of insight that are triggered by the most unexpected cues, and questions like ‘Who am I?’ or ‘Why am I?’ often pop up in our minds as foamy bubbles do in a gurgling stream. However, we do not entertain such thoughts, simply because they arrive to us in a jumbled-up mass of elusive images and undecipherable codes. Cracking these cryptic codes is difficult. What we can do is just sit back and enjoy the endless train of these codes that seem to arrive from some hidden dimension of space and time. Such codes act like men in uniform who work in the dark underground sewers of a metropolis, cleaning up the muck and sewage of the city and sometimes illuminating the dark passageways by flashing their torchlights as they pass.
