Meditation, Manifesting, Gratitude & The Law of Attraction

[CMF]

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 do wonder if still catching up with my ex is stopping good/better things entering my life? I get signs when I think of him, angel numbers.  I feel we are just meant to he together in some way, even if a casual relationship.  There is a connection. I guess if something else is meant to come along it will.

I wanted to buy my daughter a bike for her bday. I asked him what size for her & he offered us a bike he has at home for her to use. I'm confused whether to accept the offer. As I was thinking about it I saw 555...itchy emotions.

Hi CMF

Whether it involves the bike, catching up with your ex or making room for more to come into you life, doesn't hurt to keep an open mind with any of those things. An open mind allows for guidance to naturally enter. With a closed mind, not much can get in. I find imagination can also be a good guide at times. For example, if you can imagine her riding that bike on offer and she appears happy in your imagination, sounds like the way to go. If you can imagine you and your ex having a laugh over coffee and casual conversations, also sounds like a possible plan or way forward. If some guy suddenly came into your life and you began to imagine having coffee with him, that's something that could look and feel exciting too. Could be as simple another guy hasn't come along to trigger your imagination yet. Whether that's on the horizon or not, doesn't hurt to imagine happy catch ups with your ex while bringing them into reality on occasion. 😊

Thank you my wise friend. My daughter was excited at the prospect of having a bike. She did ask if I would be ok with it too. I accepted his offer. My card reader said he still feels connected to me so the offer of the the bike felt normal to him 🙏

Feeling low. Had a few challenges this week & my mind is making up things. I realised that I always think I have nothing & no one.  I always live with a feeling of lacking. I was chatting to my older daughter & told her I'm so lucky to have her. She replied "always here for you, love you" .it made me realise I'm the one who doesn't let people in. I'm the one who won't ask for help. I'm the one who carries things alone.  I need to remember I do have family to talk to & maybe I feel so alone because I choose to. My feelings of abundance have gone this week. I need to remember what I have to be grateful for & feel abundant again so I can manifest good things into my life 🙏

Last month I even had extra expenses but my mindset was different & I think I did pretty good. It made me wonder why other times I feel like it's a struggle. It's all in that mindset.  I focussed on being able to do it, one thing at a time & I did. It was amazing. I changed habits too. I usually go shopping every weekend even just to walk around.  I realised just doing that makes me feel poor. I admit I do buy a coffee & I'll always find something to buy that I don't need. All these little things add up but just being in the shopping centre made drained me.

Hi CMF

Sounds like you're waking up to a lot of stuff. Interesting and exciting times. Wondering if you've ever seen an emotional frequency chart or emotional vibration chart. Whole lot of different names for such a chart that defines a range of emotions, from low to high. It's said that once you start getting up into the high end emotions, a lot of revelations/solutions/answers begin coming to mind more easily. Of course, not always easy to do, getting up to the high end feelings. Once you're up there it can be easy to come down or be brought down. It's like you can be all good, all zen, and then a massive bill comes in and bamm, you're down into fear when it comes to fearing not being able to pay it. Enormous challenge is to be able to meditate out of a state of fear and into enough peace so as to hear or see (what comes to mind) when it comes to paying that bill. Understandable as to why we can feel like a human yo-yo at times. Up and down the emotional range we go, with things bringing us down and our determination to raise our self back up again. Sounds like you're on a high, in the zone. Looking forward to hearing about more revelations. ❤️

I will look into that chart.  I've been anxious but getting back to how I was feeling.  That I can handle challenges. I have The Universe on my side.

So HE has been away on camp so we haven't communicated much. I was thinking this arvo I should text & see how camp went. I picked up my phone & he had already messaged me. 

We had been thinking of each other at the same time!

...and again. I was re reading a message he had sent earlier today & he messaged me again. In sync!
