Dimensions – What Exactly Are They?
In this Ascension process we are moving into different dimensions. We utilize Crystal Pyramids in the 5th Dimension and higher and we are becoming aware of our own multi-dimensionality, having incarnations and instances in many different vibrations. What do we mean when we refer to other dimensions, are they higher, are we to look up to the sky, or are they in other places, requiring a space ship or our nothing more than our intention to go there? We refer to dimensions as if they we everyday occurrences, like another town or city to which we can travel at will. In fact, we can journey to other dimensions and we do, all the time since our multi-dimensional selves exist in them and we are connected to those aspects of us.
Let us first determine what exactly a Dimension is. Although we might be able to conceive of some other dimensions, it is certainly beyond our ability as rational creatures to envision or comprehend many dimensions that are outside of the Third Dimensional reality in which we currently reside. It is important to remember that, we are here in this dimension to experience duality, so it is to our advantage to master all aspects of what we have been given. There may be another time when we incarnate into a different dimension and will learn to be a Master in it as well, but even within the Third Dimension there exist many sub-dimensions which we are able to consciously experience.
A dimension then is a vibration and when we resonate with a vibration, we claim it as our reality. We are not speaking here of linear measurements of vibrations, such as presented by David Hawkins in Power vs. Force, instead, the vibration is comprised of the sum total of every aspect of each of us. This may include all the facets of our multi-dimensional selves, yes; we might be affected by aspects of ourselves of which we are not even aware, but our responsibility is to our Third Dimensional incarnation,
We must make sure our thoughts and actions are of the highest vibration, of this we are aware, but we must go farther in the process by releasing sub-conscious lower vibrating energies and thought forms we brought into this life time. There are many energy techniques for doing this, such as using your intention to release that which does not serve you and invoking the Violet Flame and the Angel of Forgiveness to purify you.
Once you release lower energies, you experience a Shift; you are not the same being as you were previously. You have entered another sub-dimension. Your thoughts are brighter, you are holding more light and your vibration is different. As you move from one place in consciousness to another, a new, subtly unique dimension has been created, that is why you feel different. You could not have entered that place had your vibration not resonated with it.
A dimension is a Point of View. We use the terms higher and lower, but in truth we are only occupying a different point or coordinate in the Universe. It cannot be defined by any adjective that implies duality, since it is only a point. That is what we have been allotted, one tiny multi-dimensional dot in the entire scheme of creation, but from that point we can expand outward, or inward, infinitely, while remaining securely anchored. Oh the cleverness of it all.

Stonehenge
As I glanced at the stones a felt as though I was glimpsing something from another dimension that had somehow slipped through a veil and become visible. I had researched Stonehenge a fair bit before my wonderful tour of Sacred Britain with the Earth-Keeper group and James Tyberonn, but somehow all the articles I read fell short of explaining what I saw when I arrived.
Some claimed the stones circle, which mirrors our Solar System was built to serve as a calendar, or a religious site or even a place for sacrifices to the Gods. Those who built Stonehenge, and other stone circles, were described as primitive, naïve and heathen nature worshippers.
I read it all, but when I saw Stonehenge in person, none of it made sense to me. First of all, the stones are enormous; I highly doubt if even today we could recreate such a grid of rocks that size, therefore to attribute the project to a society of people who were not technologically advanced, seems unlikely. No, all that I read in traditional articles on Stonehenge, written within the confines of current Archeological parameters, didn’t add up.
So what is the explanation then of how this anomaly of the British landscape came to be where it is? Well, the truth be known, no one really knows for certain. It has been determined that the stones replicate our solar system on a smaller scale and correspond to solstices and equinox, but that is not an explanation, rather it is description of characteristics of the henge. No, it is here that we are confronted with the possibility that the time has come for us to depend on our own sense of knowing, intuition and perhaps even information that is brought through by channels.
Now many believe that Atlantis existed on this planet tens of thousands of years ago and others claim that it is really in the future and made to appear as though it was in the past so that we may learn not to make the mistakes we attribute its demise. In other words, as a means of self preservation the Atlanteans made us see our future so that we would not create it.
It has been said that Atlantean survivors might have created the mystery stone circle. Others claim it was extra-terrestrials, who could have come to Earth when there was no Air Force to apprehend them. All this is a valid attempt to make sense of the history of the Earth, but we must remember that we are now in the Quantum Age. Perhaps we have not been there long, but it has been long enough for us to have come to the realization that everything occurs simultaneously and there really is no past or future, only the present. So then, Atlantis is occurring now, as is our reality, neither being more real or more valid that the other.
Now that is an easy concept to express, but a difficult one to truly comprehend in the third dimensional reality that is our situation at present. There are in infinite number of other realities happening and the most important part is that other aspects of our being exist and are participating in some, or all of those realities. This is why we remember being there, not because of a past life, but because we ARE there.
Back to Stonehenge and as I stood looking at the stones, I could not process them into my everyday reality. There was something unearthly about them and then it all became clear. They are interdimensional aspects that are visible in our consciousness and actually exist here. In other words, they ARE from another dimension, but we can see them. Unlike trees, the sky, human, animals, water and every other aspect of our world, these are of a different vibration, but have somehow managed to manifest in ours. That is why we are so magically drawn to them.
This is not so unbelievable, since after all there are many other life forms that manifest here on Earth and are comprehended by channels or those who see Angels or members of the Devic Kingdom. These beings are of the mineral kingdom and they have managed to appear in our reality. Oh the beauty and cleverness of it all.
Recent World Events
Many of us wonder why tragedies happen, Lately the question has been asked much more, due to the earthquakes, tsunamis and wars that are occurring all over the world. We know that the Earth is evolving, the Ascension process is accelerating and many of us believe that everything happens as it should…according to Divine Plan. Personally, I choose to look on the brighter side of life and see what possible good can come out of such seemingly horrible occurrences.
Consider that when these events take place, the amount of Love, Light, Prayers, Healing energy and plain old good wishes that are sent with caring and loving intention is magnified exponentially and loving, positive energy is felt all across the globe, even into the higher dimension to which we are all connected. Those who do not usually experience such levels of Gratitude, Love and outpouring of prayers and healing energy are now in the position to do so. In the wake of horror and tragedy for some, is generated a more powerful wave of higher positive energy than humanity has produced for quite some time. After all, there are an increasing number of us who are consciously ascending to the higher realms and channeling energy from there, bringing in vibrations that the Earth has not seen for ages.
In the midst of destruction and despair, like a beautiful flower growing out of the garbage heap, humanity is generating enormous amounts of Love. Remember that Reiki resurfaced during the last Atomic event that occurred in Japan in 1945. Through these experiences, in which there is suffering for many, there are also others learning to be more compassionate and perhaps even giving of their time, money and energy. People are questioning aspects of life that they never took the time to explore, even re-evaluating belief systems.
In addition, many us have made great strides in clearing negative, lower vibrating energy and are experiencing wonderful, healthy happy lives filled with gratitude, abundance and joy. When we are confronted with unsettling world events we are provided with a real life exercise of holding our space in the higher dimensions and remaining observers of what is happening. It is essential that the vibration be kept as high as possible by those of us who are Light Bringers and Light Bearers, for it is during these drastic events that the Light is needed the most. If we allow ourselves to be brought down by what is occurring, we are not fulfilling our purpose and the darkness and despair of others increases.
As always, the more Love, Light and Healing Energy we can create every moment, the more we are contributing to the best possible outcome of humanity and the Earth. As we spend our lives doing this, it becomes as much a part of us as breathing. As we continue to hold the Light, we open the pathways for others to also hold more light.
The New Age of Humanity already exists; it is complete and functional and those who place their focus on the higher dimensions are the place holders of the new Crystalline civilization into which we are all evolving. Each person who has reached the higher dimensions is in their appointed place on the grid, holding it in place and keeping it in tact. There is no going back now, no failure or questions as to whether it will happen, because it already has and you, who are reading this, are an instrumental part of the Process.
Continue on your path, do not falter. If you do not know what to do next, ask your Angels and guides, they will help you. If you are unsure of the next step, wait for an answer, you will not have to wait long. You are the Bright Star of the present and the future; you are the driving force of the Divine, the Ray of Hope for all. Shine your Love Light for all to see and walk into the unknown with excitement and wonder. So it is…
Abundance – The Law of Attraction
We all know that like attracts like and that we resonate with certain people, place, food, colors and just about everything. It had been pointed out that when the vibrations of two people resonate, they are attracted and when they do not, they repel. This is scientifically accepted and agreed upon by most everyone. What is not known, however, is why we are attracted when we resonate with another person, why is it that we do resonate with them and what is the real reason we come into conjunction with different people and events?
It is very quantum to say that our vibrations resonate; we accept that this is enough of a reason to form relationships with others, basing our belief on the energetic explanation that it is meant to be. We have so much trust in the process of life that we embrace the higher human and even non-human, beings that we encounter in our mystical road to the higher realms. Perhaps we are acting out a carefully planned script in another dimension that determines what happens here or are we characters in a movie that is being written by someone, somewhere else. One may argue that since we have free will, it is our own choices that determine our reality and no one else’s. Could we be characters in a play about free will, a play with no pre-written story that no one knows how it will end until it does? That would be a very AvantGarde endeavor by the producers; imagine others taking pleasure in watching us live out our daily lives.
I am not suggesting that any of the above is necessarily true, but what is the real reason that life happens and the Law of Attraction is part of it? We can observe that the Law is a law and like attracts like, our thoughts attract what we think and our beliefs create our reality, but we do not know why, for what purpose, we only accept it on faith and the belief that since it has happened so many times it is true and can safely be called a Law. We embrace it with passion, knowing that we are capable of thinking and believing in a positive and uplifting way and in return creating the same type of life as a result. The best part of it all is that it works and not just only for us, but for the entire universe.
If like did not attract like and the Law of Attraction was not a reality, nothing would exist. Molecules and atoms would not come together and bond to create matter and consequently LIFE. The Law of Attraction is more than a law; it is the reason for everything. Even what some call The Void is subject to the Law. The Void which some describe as nothingness, is no such thing; if it were so, we could not conceive of it or even think of it. The fact that we call it anything gives it substance and meaning and makes it part of reality, so therefore it cannot be The Void. What is it then, I’ll tell you, since you asked, it is the infinite storehouse of raw material for the Law of Attraction…like the Whole Foods of creation.
So when we search for the reason for the Law of Attraction, it is simple, it is so we can have energy, life, Love and everything else that exists. It is the true magic of life that transforms and transmutes the raw material of life, along with consciousness and infinite intelligence into a concoction that we call reality. Oh the cleverness of it all.
The Ascension Process
Conscious Human Evolution is the primary focus of enlightened beings on Earth at this time in history and there are millions of us who have placed our focus on the changes and shifts that are happening every moment. Everyone is involved in the Ascension Process, either consciously or unconsciously, however those of us who aware of the changes that are occurring have the opportunity to participate more gracefully and seamlessly. We ascend as we make room for more Light by letting go of denser energies. This is why it is so important to diligently remain focused in the NOW, for at any time the energies that are ready to be released might surface and we must be present to process the old energy and bring in the new. Very often there is only a small window of opportunity to accomplish this and if we do not act, the old energy returns to its source and we may feel even heavier as a result. The process of en-Lightening is so simple that it is very often overlooked; holding more Light makes you lighter and the lighter you are, the easier it is for you to ascend.
For example, when unpleasant memories of previous events in our lives are recalled, we again feel the emotions we experienced at the time. This is the opportunity to change the event to a positive one and fill the space with Light. Imagine that the event occurred differently; after all you only chose one possibility amongst an infinite amount. Declare that the occurrence had a positive outcome, fill it with divine Light. Use the tools and techniques you have learned along the way to send higher vibrating energies to the event and forgive yourself and all others involved. After all, everything that occurs is either to teach us or serve us, so there are no mistakes.
Most importantly, remember that each of us acts perfectly, based on the level at which we vibrate. We all do the best we can with what we have to work with. If you think that someone else can do better, it is only because you have already learned what they have not. Therefore, what happened in the past was the best you could have done at the time, hopefully now you will not find yourself in such a situation again, now that lessons have been learned.
To participate fully in the Ascension Process it is essential to first be happy. Happiness is highly under-rated as being only a simple emotion, but it is much more than that. True happiness is measured by the amount of Light one is receiving, holding and sending, therefore it is essential to let go of anything that is interfering with you being happy all the time. The Ascension Process will only occur when you release lower vibrating energies in the form of problems and complaints, none of which serve you. What does benefit you is Light and the way to receive Light is by always being totally positive; after all, like attracts like. Have the intention to be a bringer of Light and believe that a happy life is your birthright. Expect to see recognizable progress in the journey to the higher realms and if you find that you are unsure how to proceed, ask for help from your Angelic guides, the Archangels and Ascended Masters. They are willing to help, but first you must ask and I assure you, they will come to assist.
The Ascension Process can be a joyous time filled with amazing and fascinating events and connections to other like-minded humans. When you consciously participate in shining your Light so that others will know there is a Light, you are part of one of the greatest events that humanity has known. The New Age is dawning and you are a part of it, embrace it in Peace and Love.

Shifts- Strange Things Are Happening
Strange things are happening. Changes are occurring; people are disappearing from one vibration and re-appearing in another, shifting to other points on the electromagnetic grid that defines the energy field of the planet. Each of us occupies an origin point that anchors us into a place we have in this incarnation, but that point is not stationary and can change its location in relation to the levels of the consciousness in which it resides. Our vibration can raise or lower quickly and significantly and too we can raise or lower it in a short period of time; there are some whose vibration was very high and no longer is and others whose vibration keeps lifting towards the higher realms. It is not the sinking or rising of individuals, but it is the energetic place in which we currently reside and the rate at which we are keeping up with the rapidly advancing vibration of humanity here on Earth during this Ascension process.
When planetary shifts occur, there are those who might hold their ground and then find themselves on a different level afterwards. They have not Shifted, rather what is around them has. To simply illustrate, suppose you live in a house high on a hill. You can see everything around you for miles from your home and nothing escapes your view. Then someone comes along and builds houses around your house and your view is blocked. Some of the view still remains, but much of it is gone. You can remain with your view blocked or you can build your house higher to a level that will return the vista you once had.
The same goes for vibratory levels, a vibration can be very high in relation to the vibration of the whole, but if the vibration of that person or thing remains the same and the vibration of the whole increases, then the original vibration is now at a lower level. On the other hand if the vibration of the original person or thing increases with that of the whole, a higher vibratory level is achieved.
The Ascension process is ongoing, never ending and required constant diligence. It is not enough just to learn how to use many of your spiritual skills and believe that you are enlightened. Those tools are helpful, but they are only tools. You will not build a house with only tools; you need the materials to build and the knowledge that will allow you to put it all together. So what is the substance of Ascension and where do we get the knowledge?
We already have everything we need. It was given to us before we came into this world and all we need to do now it to tap into it and reclaim it. We must learn to establish whether or not we resonate with whatever crosses our path and embrace what is meant for us at present. In is an ongoing process and demands constant attention to the NOW.
There are those of us who have chosen to dedicate ourselves to contributing whatever we can to the Ascension process and to us each moment of each day matters. Listen to your inner voice and if you are guided to participate in the process, do not hesitate to begin the fantastic journey to the higher realms. Everyone will make this voyage, but those who approach it with enthusiasm will transition more seamlessly and gracefully. We are blessed to be able to participate in this period of humanity on Earth; it is an amazing, fantastic age…enjoy the magic of it all.

Do Something Different
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. – Albert Einstein
If we desire different results, we must do something different. This implies that we are creating outcomes by what we do, and what we do is driven by what we think and believe. Assuming we do create our own reality, it follows that if we remain unchanged our reality will remain the same, but this is not the case. The world around us changes constantly, therefore if we continue to do the same thing over and over and think similar thoughts, never changing them, we are not really remaining the same, but rather we are refusing to accept change and by doing so are creating difficulty and resistance in our lives.
It is very modern and sounds extremely quantum to presume that we create our own reality, but how does it work that we impress our thoughts on the formless substance from which reality is created? The truth is that we are not creating anything, everything already exists. Energy brings forth vibration, the type of which depends on the frequency of the vibration. When we choose our thoughts and beliefs as the basis of our actions we are determining with which instance of vibration and energy we will resonate. There exists in the universe, infinite vibrations producing an unending amount of energy; therefore anything can happen and the possible combinations of thoughts, choices and actions of every living creature that has ever existed, or will exist, on every part of the planet, solar system, universe and all the dimensions outside of our own, make the number of realities that might exist beyond rational comprehension.
Yes, we are influenced by everything, even though we are not aware of every aspect of our multidimensional reality. We have no idea what our 7th dimensional self is doing at the moment or how our 5th dimensional self is feeling. We cannot see rays of energy passing though our environment and our bodies and we do not always know of other beings that are sending us love and light from other star systems. What we can do is increase our awareness about what we think, believe and do, thereby striving to raise the vibration of our own energy and existence here on earth and in the universe. Each one of our cells contains the blueprint of our being and they return to us what we give to them, since they are us. Our little cells live each day, as do we, and are influenced by us, just as we are by our environment so we must take care of the messages we send because what they create will come back to us. What you give is what you get, what goes around comes around; the love you take is equal to the love you make. It’s all up to you to determine the reality in which you live your life.
Do you believe:
- You are healthy and vibrant.
- Life is grand.
- We are all connected.
- Conscious human evolution is your highest priority.
- You are perfect.
- You are loved.
- You are an essential part of a whole.
- You live in an abundant universe.
- You are beautiful.
Life is meant to be wonderfully fantastic beyond our wildest expectations, but we must do something different to achieve this happy state if we are to rise to a higher consciousness. Each of us is required to determine what changes are necessary in our unique, particular lives to bring us to heaven on earth. Start small, make tiny changes and begin to see the results, for many small changes add up to larger ones and new and exciting realities. Remember, you are safe and you are loved.

Consciousness
There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe. A thought, in this substance, produces the thing that is imaged by the thought. Man can form things in his thought, and, by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.
In order to do this, man must pass from the competitive to the creative mind; he must form a clear mental picture of the things he wants, and hold this picture in his thoughts with the fixed PURPOSE to get what he wants, and the unwavering FAITH that he does get what he wants, closing his mind against all that may tend to shake his purpose, dim his vision, or quench his faith. – Wallace Wattles
Everything which exists is formed and defined by the thinking substance which fills the inter-spaces of the universe. We call it consciousness. It is driven by our thoughts to become reality. It is the stuff from which our thoughts are created and take form. When we ask what consciousness is, the reply must be that it is all that is not our reality, all which does not exist and it is that which defines all that does exist. Consciousness is infinite. It is only our awareness of it that increases, allowing us to experience spiritual evolutionary growth. All by which I am defined, is all that I am not.
Quantum physicists enjoy breaking down matter to the smallest possible particle; which might not even be the smallest there is, but only the smallest our current technology allows us to recognize. No matter how minutely we break down what we call matter, there will always be something surrounding it; giving it form and, what we call, existence. When these particles are combined in different ways, by the intelligent consciousness which surrounds them, objects of matter are created. This is how we have tables, people, trees, cars, animals and everything else which we have defined as existing in our world and in our consciousness. That which does not exist we callnothing. However, by defining and acknowledging nothing, we are validating its existence. The undefined space, which we label as meaningless nothingness, that surrounds and permeates through particles of matter is actually what gives form and life to everything. It is “The Force” that the Jedi’s revere in Star Wars, and rightly so.
What makes us what we are? I don’t mean our personalities, but why am I sitting here at a computer typing? I am a collection of particles, atoms and molecules that is held together by…? I am held together by nothing and nothing works perfectly. All the space that surrounds every unit of the matter that forms me is what holds me together. The intelligent nothingness which gives me life is all around me and flows through me. Yoda was right.
It has also been shown in Quantum physics labs that electrons, our source of energy and light, jump from one orbit to another. This may seem uneventful at first mention; however, there is more to the story. When the electrons jump from one orbit to the other they don’t pass through space to do so, they only start in one orbit and then appear in another. Where do they go in between? They go nowhere and that is where they energize. Nowhere is where there is nothing and that is where the source of light and life resides.
Having said all this we can now see how silly it is for us to call the source of our life force energy nothing and have it reside nowhere. We are so determined to view and define our existence in absolute terms that we have virtually cut ourselves off from the source. How did this happen? When we began to think as rational beings we had to disregard everything that couldn’t be explained logically; a system of accepted wisdom which grew from fear and an attempt to control life as much as possible. Prior to this, people were aware of the forces in life which could influence and affect transformation. Ooops, did I just define magic? The “M” word is like a weed. We try to stamp it out, but it always grows up between the cracks. We try to cheapen it by reducing it to a form of show business, but then along comes Harry Potter and we can’t stop people from loving the idea of magic.
Magic is part of life. When I can smile at someone and transform his or her face into a smiling one, it’s magic. Transformation is part of life. Nothing, as we call it, is magic and that is what gives us form. The problem is that it is difficult to control people when they become aware that transformation is possible. When people become aware that they have the power to change their lives by changing the way they think, they are then in a situation where they are able to choose their own belief systems, realize their own power, discover they can heal their body, mind and spirit, rise above the system which has taken control here on earth and decide to be happy. It is then and only then that the control, by the dark forces, that has enslaved us, ends.
When you’re happy, you’re energized, vitalized and you know that what they call nothing is more real than what we call something. When you feel a balance between the seen and the unseen, the real and the unreal, something and nothing, you create a state of wellness, for it is then that the life force energy which sustains you can flow through you freely. Being happy is the way to create this balance. It’s that simple, so go for it. Smile and be happy NOW!!!

Why Worry?
Worrying is a complete waste of time. If you worry about something and it works out, you worried for nothing. If you worry about something and it doesn’t work out, you have only made the situation worse by worrying and placing your focus on a result you don’t want, thereby helping to create it. When you allow events to unfold, envisioning the best outcome, you are using your energy and thoughts to create the results you desire. Worrying wastes huge amounts of energy. When you are happy, you have faith that things will turn out well and that the universe will provide solutions. When things continually work out for the best, you will see the magic of life. You will become accustomed to allowing this to happen and you will be happy.
When I moved to New Jersey from Canada in 2000, it was very difficult to find an apartment, but I knew I would find a suitable place to rent. One day, a friend of mine, who did not share my faithful attitude, said to me, “You’re never going to find a place in your price range. It’s impossible.” “Would you just try and be a little more positive?” was my reply.
The next day, out of frustration, I opened the phone book and looked up apartments in the yellow pages. I called the first management company in the list and asked if they had any vacancies. They told me they had a one bedroom unit that I could see any time. I drove there on my lunch hour to have a look and as I pulled up the shady, tree lined street where the garden apartment complex lay nestled, I knew this would be my new home. I was shown the freshly painted apartment with newly refinished wood floors and three windows in the living room overlooking a courtyard filled with trees. I loved it. It was perfect. I told the apartment manager I would take it, but he explained that another woman had just seen the place and she also wanted it. I asked him if I should fill out an application anyway, and he said yes.
I only had a glimmer of hope to get the apartment, but it seems that’s all that was required. At eleven o’clock the next morning I got a call from the management company stating that the other person hadn’t faxed her application and they were inquiring if I still wanted the apartment. I told them I did and that I would be there in an hour with the money. It was Friday and I had just deposited my paycheck, but I knew it wouldn’t clear until Monday. The management company assured me they wouldn’t deposit my rent check until Monday. I signed the rental agreement, got the key, went up to my new home, lay down on the bare floor and breathed a sigh of triumph. I was so elated I didn’t even care that I only had $20 left to my name and a temporary job. I knew it would all work out and you know what, it did.
How do you stop worrying? First you must have that intention and then realize you are in control of your thoughts. You don’t have to worry about anything. Worrying is a habit you learned. You didn’t worry as a child. Why should anything go wrong? Life is not supposed to be full of things going wrong. Almost every day I hear people say, “It’s always something!”
No it’s not! It’s not always something. Stop yourself from thinking that and saying that. If you believe it is always something, it will be. If you believe that things go smoothly, then they will. Consider nature, everything is perfect in the natural world and we are part of that world, so why should we experience mishap after mishap? When you say that it’s always something, you are not allowing yourself to believe that things can go well. You are in opposition to the natural flow of life. So go with the flow and watch life unfold perfectly, the way it’s meant to, and when you hear someone say, “It’s always something,” tell that person “No, it’s not.”
Gratitude
Be happy and grateful for your life and everything in it. This is very important because gratitude signifies acceptance and validates the act of receiving. Once you have acknowledged and given thanks for what you have, you are in the position to receive more, so express gratitude whenever possible. You will feel happy when you are grateful and grateful that you are happy. Always look for the uplifting aspects of any situation. When you hear those doubtful thoughts trying to creep in, telling you that things probably won’t work or it’s too good to be true, just kick them out of your brain and replace them with positive, confident thoughts. Don’t scold yourself for your pessimistic thoughts, for they are only surfacing from deep within you. Better out than in, I always say. Be grateful that those thoughts are shifting from your subconscious into your conscious so that you can discard them. Why hold on to ideas and beliefs which no longer serve you?
A woman once told me a story about a time in her life when she was a single mother with three children and very little money. She lived for many years struggling to pay the rent, buy groceries and provide the most basic needs for her family. One day, after dinner, she sat at her kitchen table thinking about how little she had in her life. She looked up and saw the pile of dishes in the sink and reluctantly stood up to wash them.
Suddenly, she saw that pile of dishes as a symbol that her family had been fed and had happily shared a meal together. A wave of gratitude filled her heart. She opened the refrigerator to put some things away and saw that it was full because she had recently gone grocery shopping. She again felt gratitude that she had enough to feed herself and her family for the next week, without worrying about how she would do it. She sat down and took out a piece of paper and began to make a list of everything in her life for which she could feel grateful. The list was longer than she ever could have imagined and she realized at that moment that her life was filled with many blessings. From that day on she continued to appreciate everything she had and her life began to increase in abundance.
Two years later when she told me the story, her life was filled with prosperity. She had established her own successful Reiki practice and had started offering seminars on gratitude. When you are happy, you believe in the abundance of the universe along with your ability to attract and accept that abundance. You know all that you desire will flow into your life in perfect time.
Gratitude is felt in varying degrees. Imagine it’s a very hot day and you have been walking outside for quite some time. You’re very thirsty and there is no water available. You continue to walk, knowing that you will not be able to get a drink for quite some time. Finally, when you don’t think you can bear it any longer, you arrive at a place where water is sold. You buy a cold bottle and begin to drink. The water is so refreshing and you enjoy it more than any other drinking experience you can remember.
Now imagine you are sitting at home with a glass of water by your side and you take a sip because you are mildly thirsty. You hardly feel grateful for the sip of water since it was only a slight matter of comfort to you. Gratitude isn’t just a passing feeling you experience in hopes you will attract more. When you can sincerely express extreme gratitude for what you already have in your life, you will begin to attract more. Love your life right now. Each step, even if you trip, is one more step towards your goals, hopes and dreams. All the thoughts and actions of your daily life are the building blocks of your future, and you determine the quality of the building materials you use.
