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?

Hi therising & missed,

Def sounds like plan.

Manifesting...I received a pay rise last year for which I am very grateful however I have been manifesting abundance & for money to come to me freely . Today my nanager told me she believes I deserve more. She's spoken to people & got advice & she's going to raise it with management that I should be paid a little more.

I also received an email that my loan is being changed & there will be no more annual fee.

Winning 🙂

A couple of years ago, I didn’t know about manifestos/meditations / the power of thought, etc. I had a rather negative attitude towards life;

I was always angry, gloomy and irritable. When my good friend said that I looked like an evil miner, I realized that I needed to change something in my life. The same friend showed one site https://motherhoodlifebalance.com/manifest-something-by-writing-it-down/ and I began to study this topic very actively, I became interested. And I decided to change my life and think completely. I began to think only about the cheerful and stopped dwelling on the negative. And what do you think? It has become much easier for me to live, now I feel an incredible uplift and continue to work on myself. So if you are still in doubt about whether to try it or not, I recommend it to you to change your whole life.

Hi Davidw

Welcome & thanks for joining the thread. Yes it is amazing. Years ago I was doing it without even realising what I was doing. I was making dping things with such determination that I'd achieve them & I did. I didn't know I was manifesting. It gets easier when you realise it's working. Some things manifest quickly, others take longer. Maybe it depends on when it's the right time for them?

Hi everyone 🙂

I once heard it said 'The imagination is the gateway when it comes to manifestation'. Once you open the gate/mind, what you send through comes back. I suppose the challenge comes down to making sure what you send through is positive 🙂

So true the rising,

What we focus on we receive...positive or negative. Probably why my partner's sis is always hanging around, cos I'm always focussed on how much it annoys me lol.

My pay increase is approved & exactly the amount I hoped for. My difficult colleague is going to be offered 4 days work from home which is also what i hoped for. Hopefully she takes it. I wanted to go away in April for a few days. I hopped on line, sent my partner some suggestions & we chose on in my price range. It looks lovely & tranquil. Maybe it can be our annual Easter holiday getaway. I better put that out there.

Hi CMF

Great to hear you're in the flow. It's nice to be able to fully focus on the flow and how truly enjoyable it is. That kind of focus leads the snags to look like inconveniences and the rapids to look like a part of the course. When full focus is on the snags and rapids, it can feel like we're on the verge of drowning at times.

The flow has a definite feel to it. While you're loving life, sounds like life is loving you right back 🙂

Thanks therising,

Today The Universe responded. My partner saw someone he knew but couldn't remember his name. His sis goes to the same gym & talks about him often. M was texting his sis to ask the guys name, something that annoys me as I like our weekends not to involve her. Just as he was about to send the message the name popped into his head.

Thank you Universe ❤🙏

Hi everyone!

I really related to what you guys wrote about thinking negatively/having a negative outlook on life. It's funny, I always told people I'm a really happy person and when I am around others I am really bubbly and try to be positive. What I didn't realise was how automatically negative my internal dialogue was when it came to myself! Once I realised this I'm trying to change because just trying to shift to a positive mindset I believe will naturally be a gateway to manifesting a happier more positive life!

Goodness CMF....aren't you getting to be the expert hey? You'll be changing jobs soon and becoming a professional "life coach" person giving lessons on manifestation and conversing with the Universe. It's quite amazing when you discover it works isn't it? I seem to have lost my touch...I think it's my self confidence I have lost....I hope I can believe in myself again...like I used to......keep smiling!!!
