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?

He is also spiritual like me. In the few messages we exchanged we spoke about the Universe & we just seem to understand each other as we always did. He may be my soul mate. I'll need to ask what made him reach out.

Would be interesting to know whether something just said to him to reach out to you and so he did. If he's intuitive, maybe this is the case. He sounds like a fascinating person.

Hi therising, 

Oh he is. We messaged some more & he told me about his journey to where he is. He felt destined to be alone till meeting his wife. He's achieved & done many beautiful things to help others. He told me to suuround myself with people i love & adore & there are people in my life who do love & adore me also. He said not everything in life makes sense, not everything has a reason. TheUniverse always carries us & wants what's best for us. He doesn't know why he reached out, he just did & said maybe its just meant to be. Said he's always here for a chat & let's keep in touch. What a beautiful soul to have come back into my life. So much depth, unlike M. I cried last night, cleansing tears. Maybe he will heal my heart from afar? Open my eyes & heart to goodness 🙏

Such a soulful experience. I'm so glad he's touched base with you. I think sometimes we're sent guides in life, especially at lost or confusing points where we seriously need a sense of direction and perhaps a new perspective.

When something says to us 'You need to call ____', the challenge may not involve questioning why, it may simply involve following through with what comes to mind. When we call that person, it's then that we find out why we were meant to call them...because they needed us. I'm so glad he listened and went with what came to mind for him. Wondering whether he's an intuitive person, having exercised and developed natural aspects of himself over the years. Do you know if he's a bit of a seer, for example? If you were to ask him what he sees for you at this point in your life, would he be able to tell you? Or maybe he's a bit of a 'hearer' (aka 'clairaudient'), where he's going to hear what naturally comes to mind for him, in regard to your way forward. Would be interesting to know.

So we're still chatting. He has achieved so much in life so I googled him. He is a positive leadership coach, has podcasts etc. I'm fascinated.  I'm hoping for a leadership position at work. He's very humble. Tells me life just is. Things don't always have a reason, we don't always experience all we want, we lose thos we love. Maybe he is here to help me see things differently? To stop looking for answers & questioning why? To just be and go with the flow of life?

He's all about Positivity,  finding your strengths. He's a coach in these areas.

Amazing that he reached out 🙏

[therising]

He really does sound like a brilliant guide. Not someone just to lead the way but to light the path as well ☀️🤗

He is a qualified Positive Psychology Coach. Exactly what is heeded in my workplace. He is going to email me a workbook he created. I've been so teary since we started chatting. I feel like they are tears of release. Releasing feelings that do not serve me. Tears of gratitude to gave him cone back into my life. We really connect on many levels. I could talk to him all day whereas my ex & I could sit in silence with nothing to say. Conversation often forced.

An exciting chapter of your evolution. ☮️😊

Yes it is. I'm looking forward to seeing what it brings. I've been very down this weekend. I have done alot of shopping & found so many beautiful things in the op shops. Expensive labels too. To add to it I had discount vouchers. I bought beautiful tailored jackets for work, some casual wear. I even found some nice sale items in shopping centres.
