Meditation, Manifesting, Gratitude & The Law of Attraction

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?

Maybe it was the Universe testing me to see how I'd feel/react. I felt nothing. No jolt, no regrets, no sadness. Just nothing. I felt better today. I'm not expecting to hear from him.

Hi therising 

I'm ok. The anger & hurt is slowly going away.  Weekends are tricky but I'm glad I'm not spending time with him. He disgusts me. Changes happening at work soon but no word on the opportunities they will present.  Apparently that is down the track. I really need that.

My vibration is so low. I'm really down & finding it hard to pick myself up & feel good.

Hi CMF,

 

I really feel for you. I have felt like that all morning - extremely low vibrational energy. After some lunch and a coffee I have lifted a little. I know it is often said, but this too shall pass. It's so hard to see that though when in a slump isn't it. Sometimes I find I have to just be with the emotions, whatever they are, let them be and take their course. I know it's not easy though. Sending you kind energy and I hope things start to lift soon 🌤

Hi Eagle Ray  

I'm glad you started to feel a bit better. I felt crsp this morning.  I went out shopping but then decided to come home & potter around the house. I caught up on housework,  cleaned my son's room, fixed the shelves in his cupboard & relaxed. My vibe has lifted alot.  I usually go out alot on Sunday's to try keep busy but I didn't want to today. The changes at work start tomorrow.  I also want to move desks so I'm hoping someone can help me set that up. The younger girls at work went out Saturday night for one of their birthdays. The posted pics on social media & I commented "gorgeous girls" one messaged me back saying she wishes I came. It made me feel so nice. I wasn't invited, they are alot younger than me but it was nice that one of them thought of me 🙏

I'm just finishing the book "you can heal your life' . There was a section on living in abundance. This is something I don't do.  I always live with the thoughts that I don't have enough money, I'm always going to struggle, I can't afford to do things. I REALLY want to change this mindset. The book mentioned that shopping in op shops can make us feel we are not living abundantly. I have been loving op shops & visit regularly.  I often find nice items for work that would be expensive if brand new. It also means if i want to change my look i can. It does have me thinking though...is it affecting my mindset?

Hi CMF

 

I suppose you could change your mindset to 'I shop in opp shops because it's an opportunity to donate the proceeds to a good cause' or 'I shop because I like the vibe of those places, one I can't get anywhere else'. I suppose it's and abundance of a certain type, an abundance of certain feel good feelings. The financial abundance aspect could be focused in other places.🙂
