Meditation, Manifesting, Gratitude & The Law of Attraction

CMF · ‎21-06-2020

Hi everyone,

Not sure where to start so hope I can express myself clearly and maybe with others' input we can expand on this. I'm interested in people's thoughts/ experience with meditation, manifesting, gratitude & the law of attraction. I've recently started using the Smiling Mind app to meditate when going to sleep and sometimes when feeling a little anxious, like tonight. It is something i thought i could never do as my mind rarely stops, however, with persistence, I find I enjoy it. I guess i tend to have a negative mindset which I am determined to change.I always felt uneasy about thinking positive things as i thought i would jinx myself, and that whenever I made a positive comment or felt happy it would go wrong or something negative would happen. So i refrained from allowing myself to be too happy, I guess to 'protect' myself. Recently i have been feeling happier, stronger, expressing gratitude and taking note of when things have come to me when i needed them. Coincidence, or answers to what i put out to the Universe? I like to think the latter. A work colleague one day told me to manifest something i wanted, put it out to the universe , so I'm trying. Example, recently we needed to measure the floor space at reception so we could calculate how many people we could have in at one time. I needed a tape measure, which i did not have. At that moment our handyman walked into the office. Guess what he had? I am getting into the habit of practising positive thinking instead of thinking/expecting negatives. If something 'negative' does crop up, it can be dealt with, it's not the end of the world. I look for the positive in every negative situation. I am becoming more aware of being grateful for little things, things like getting a good car park at work, a warn cosy bed, a tidy house. I feel when i am expressing gratitude I am putting positive thoughts out into the universe and I notice more positives instead of focusing on negatives. Late last week we had internet issues at work and a colleague i found a little annoying. I've been feeling very drained, agitated, negative for a few days. This morning things were not running smoothly for me. A result of my negative mind perhaps? Little things became a big deal, my morning was crap. If i look back, it wasn't really an issue, i just did things in a different order which gave me more relax time this evening. The Law of Attraction, positive thoughts, positive experiences.

What are your thoughts?

I also realise 3 was our number for many reasons & 3 is what I got. I have a few things grouped in 3 around the house. 3 pictures, 3 ornaments, 3 candles. I'm changing that. I'm changing it to 2.

Hi CMF

Sounds like magic is at play. Perhaps the universe is saying in its own way 'You are attractive. So, now that you know, given the sign I sent you (the guy who was attracted to you for one reason or another), watch out for all the people who will suddenly become attracted to you'. Whether they're attracted to your nature, your appearance, your smile, your kindness, your vibe or all those things and more, maybe it's worth keeping an eye out. Bit of a catch 22 there: If suddenly you find yourself looking around to see if people are looking at you, that may attract people to look at you. A little paranoia could be the result.😁 I imagine you will see a lot of things in this case, such as all the people who are glued to their phones as the world goes by, all the people who smile compared to those that don't, those who offer kind words to shop assistants vs those who couldn't care less about the service. Now that your focus is shifting away from the relationship, what will you begin to see? I hope you see beautiful things, things that bring you joy, revelations and laughter. I hope you witness and feel the things that bring you peace and more.

This 'learning through challenge' business is a tough business to manage, that's for sure. Just when we think we've got the magic all worked out, a new challenge comes along that leads us to doubt our self. But if there's one thing I've discovered it's this...When we come to understand what that challenge is/was really about it's like, BAMM, you go next level baby, while being raised through your revelation/s. A seriously tough way to graduate through life.🎓😊💖

Maybe. I am lost at the moment. He messaged me Sunday, it opened a bit of dialogue about things. When i ask how he is he says 'yeah ok' or 'yeah not bad'. Sounds flat or maybe he doesn't want me to know how happy & free he feels. He still calls me Honey. I was ok when i saw his message thank goodness. I thanked him for all the beautiful Sundays & said they were special. He responded 'thanks Honey'. Again he didn't say yes they were or anything, just thanked me for thanking him. He did spend alot on our beautiful outings & going away with his family etc. Maybe he feels better if he just says thanks like i owe him that cos he did alot for me even though emotionally he couldn't? Yesterday was weird at work. Computer playing up, printer playing up. Everything out of sorts. Today is better do far.

Was thinking of him & saw 555.

This number represents change, but it also represents freedom and adventure. If this is a time of transition for you right now, embrace your single-hood and lean into your independence. The angel number 555 could represent a new love...

555 also means

555 is rarely a bad sign and most commonly signifies difficult times within a committed relationship coming to an end and true happiness being on the horizon.

I wonder...were we Karmic or Twin Flames?

Hi CMF

You're an undeniably wonderful person, so full of wonder. I imagine us meeting up and sitting for hours in a state of wonder, discussing so much of what leads us to wonder. From one topic to the next, I imagine we'd be like a couple of excited kids with occasional expressions of awe through shared revelations.😊

I think everyone holds the potential to be a teacher for us in some way. The more significant, outstanding or emotional the relationship, the greater the teacher or lesson. The relationship (in one form or another) could last 5 minutes as a brief and deeply impacting encounter, 5 weeks, 5 months or 50 years. With more than a couple of decades together, I've learned a heck of a lot from my husband. While there have been some basic lessons, some amusing ones, some exciting ones and some joyful ones, there have also been some highly stressful, incredibly agitating and deeply depressing ones that have been challenging. To be fair, I can also be a tormenting teacher in some ways. I'm not too arrogant to think otherwise.🙂

I think the questions can come down to 'What did I learn from my 'teacher' when it comes to greater self understanding and coming to understand the nature of others?' and 'What have I learned about the nature of life through my experience with my teacher?'.

Hi therising,

Yes we would talk for hours.

It's funny you mention 'teacher'. He was literally a teacher. He taught me to value my worth & not accept anything less than I deserve. I need to stop justifying & accepting poor behaviour.

I'm hurting. I'm sad. So sad 😔

My negative feelings toward him are not helping. I've been venting to people I trust about he is not the "great " guy people think he is. That he takes people & things for granted & it's probably why his wife had affairs. I've been hurt & angry, picturing him happy & free. I picture him already over us & i don't want him to be. These are not good feelings. They are not helping me.

I had too much resistance. That's why I couldn't manifest what I wanted. Now it's gone. I put too much focus on him & sis & that's who won .
