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?

I have been wanting something so I can show I don't care. Whether he called on purpose or not I will not make contact. He will get the message & I can make my point.

I guess I manifested him contacting me. Deep down I wanted something. My daughter was on the news tonight. He took a pic & sent it to me saying " in case you missed it". I just gor rid of everything he gave me. It's like I got rid of all the old energy so it's allowed new energy. I also changed his name to X in my phone. X can also mean a kiss so when I see it pop up it's like I'm getting a kiss. What us going on? Why does he think it's ok to contact me? My last words were very harsh after he said he wanted options so why does he think it's ok to message me like nothing happened?

It's always like this with him. A series of things occur that then connect us. My little miss also started watching a show his boys loved. They used to say she should watch it but we always said she was too young. I've been trying remember which mobile phone plan they're on too as it was a great deal & I wanted to look into it for little miss. Why are we always somehow connected when we are not right for each other?

Hi CMF
Sounds like a lot's been happening. Also sounds like you're being challenged quite a bit. So hard to work out what certain challenges are all about. It can feel like torment until we reach some significant revelation/s. Personally, I'm not a fan of the challenges that take weeks, months or years to work out. Much prefer the ones that take a handful of minutes, hours or days to make greater sense of. Figuring them out tends to have a dual effect: 1)You finally get to feel some sense of relief and other positive emotions and 2)it's like, BAMM, you graduate to a new level of consciousness. As I say, in the meantime, it can all just feel like some form of torment. All kinda feels like a test at times. Whether it's a test to understand how well we really do know our self, a test to work out how good our intuition is and whether it needs developing, a test to examine how well we can manage our emotions or some other test, it can all definitely be very testing.
Wish I knew what it was all about, I really do. Then I'd be able to say to you 'This is what it's all about...' and you'd say 'That's it. I feel so relieved'. I imagine a part of you knows what's it's all about, therefor getting in touch with that part of you may offer you some answers. ❤️

Hello therising, my wise friend ☺️
It has been challenging but I wanted a sign that he has some thoughts, and I got it. I actually asked the Universe for a sign in the form of a particular number but I got this instead. I guess cos I been putting it out there for a while that I needed a sign for closure. It felt so up in the air. I'm feeling peaceful. I don't need to reconnect with him in any way but I feel any animosity fading. I think it took alot for him to contact me, even if the it was random ie a phone call but no message then the photo of my daughter in case I missed it. Different days, unrelated. He must have heen thinking how to reach out for a while. Funny that as he knows I don't watch the news so there was a bit of thought behind it. Oh well, of i hear nothing else it's ok. I got my sign 🙏

I'm glad you got your sign. Wondering whether it was a test to see how you'd react or feel once you got it. Sounds like you passed with flying colours. 😁

Went into an op shop & saw one of his gifts donated on display. On my way home I saw one of his friends leaving the local footy oval. I used to watch M play footy & he used to tell everyone from the club I was at the 1989 grand final they won. Wow...too many coincidences...or signs?

My instincts tell me he may have regrets, or miss just having someone-but I could be completely wrong.
