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?

Careful what you wish for 😊. My son is a good kid. He works hard, is pretty quiet my I get frustrated about the mess in his room & the mess he leaves.  I know he & his gf want to buy something together next year & I keep saying I can't wait till he moves out. We'll...tonight he told me he will probably move in with her at her dad's in a few months before they look to buy next year. I'm happy for them. I thought they might in fact. I realised also that the 6 months with my ex was going to get difficult as my son was home more. If he moves out, does that free up "space" in my life? I don't want to see my ex but what will this "space " bring considering he's made contact?

I also wonder if he tried to make contact for his own closure? Will he feel he can move on cos I have allowed any connection?

Time will tell.

Was meant to have a card reading tonight but she is extremely unwell. I too am extremely exhsusted. I'm curious to know what the cards reveal about what he's up to re contacting me.   I guess I'm not meant to know yet.

Been thinking I'll bump into one of his friends at our local shopping centre & sure enough I saw him tonight. I saw him approaching as little miss & I were having a bite to eat. I was exhausted from work, not sure if I wanted to say hi as I didn't feel I looked my best so I looked at my phone as he walked right past. I thought I felt him look down but not sure. Guess he could have said hi if he wanted. I hope he tells M he saw me lol. I feel ill bump into his mum & probably him at some point. Funny how I'm seeing all his friends around.

Had my card reading tonight. She said he was shocked I didn't answer his call or call him back & that I really shut him down. He reached out as he believes my harsh words were just out of anger & he's let the water cool & thinks we can be friends.  She said he'll reach out again & that we have an energy so there may always be some connection.  I feel this too. He'll be  shocked if he sees me as I have a new look &  transformed myself for the better. Apparently I will have alot of male attention this spring/summer as I have opened myself up to meeting new people & have old friends coming back into my life.  If I do meet up with him I won't tolerate any of his bs & he'll see I'm in control.

Hi CMF

 

I'm so glad you've been able to make such progress in transforming yourself. Not so easy to do after significant heartbreak. I'm a big believer in love being found in evolution, in more ways than one. There is a lot of self love in personal evolution. Keep on evolving and loving yourself to life, so as to connect more with the magic that life has to offer.🙂💖

Yes. She said I have been doing ALOT of healing.

I do feel flat today though.

I think it's time to leave it with the Universe again. I'm waiting for him to make contact again even though I gave no interest in seeing or talking to him. I'm letting it go now.

Well since deciding to leave it with the Universe, & asking for signs, I have heard what I consider our song on the radio, saw his name pop up twice yesterday & seen him in my dreams last 2 nights.

Hi CMF

 

Apologies for not getting back to you sooner. Certain forms of healing can definitely be draining at times. Can take a lot of mental, emotional and even physical energy (releasing stresses and whatnot from our nervous system and other energy systems of the body). Can be a bit of a re-calibration period before the energy returns and we're back in (a state of) charge.

 

Will be interesting to see what the future holds and how you feel about what comes your way. Feelings can definitely be telling, that's for sure. I think it's amazing how we can forget who we naturally are at times and it can take a relationship break (either a complex one or a clean cut one) to help us remember and feel in certain ways again. Being married for so long, I'd kinda forgotten who I am. I forgot I'm a creative person, as I've tried to relate to my husband in less than creative ways, ways that suit him. I remember being adventurous many years ago and am now working out how to become this way again. And I'm falling back in love with wondering and imagining and considering all that lies outside the square. I think when becoming dismembered from parts of our natural self, it can take time and quite a process to re-member our self or put our self back together again. And if we're someone who just can't tolerate often waiting on the sidelines, until our partner decides it suits them to shift focus towards us, this is something that remains important to remember. Waiting is a waste of time when there is living and remembering to be done. Why wait?! 😊

Hello my friend therising, 

No apology needed 😊. I always love your thoughts, they are so meaningful.

I have a tendency to forget who I am and wait on the sidelines when I'm in a relationship.  Guess it's part of always putting others' first.

I saw another sign tonight. His sister's name popped up somewhere.  It's not a very common name so always throws me a bit when I see it.
