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?

So true therising, the reading mentioned that he is not his true self with anyone as he is a people pleaser. Only with his sis he is really himself but I dont believe that somehow. As i have been getting signs she asked about my dream. I haven't had any about him till last night. I dreamt that somehow I had his phone & I went through his messages. There was nothing much in them. I can't remember but prior to having his phone I must have seen him & I was ok. Anyway...interesting.

My reader said the dream was interesting & a sign he isn't seeing anyone. Oh well, whatever. 

Positivity brings more Positivity right? After having my reading I've felt light & my mind has been clearer. My mood has improved & feel happier. My health has improved & im feeling much better. Work was pretty good this week, not as busy which gave us all some breathing space. I've been feeling abundant also, like really feeling it. I received a bill to pay today & it was much less than I expected. Little miss & I went shopping & she saw something she wanted. It was only a few dollars so the girl in the store said we could have it. It was her last shift so a gift from her to us. After the reading I feel a cloud has been lifted. I'm not as angry toward him although I have cursed him in my mind but I'm not so bitter. I've felt happier than I have in a while. The reading said he was sad the 1st month, not seeing anyone, just wants to do his own thing but acting like he's fine in front of others. She said it's made him look at himself & his behaviour. She said he wants to reach out but is scared of my reaction cos he knows he did wrong. I don't want him back but hearing that has made me feel so much lighter. I like feeling this happy & seeing the good coming into my life. I want more of it. I want to feel this good always 🙏

I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling lighter, CMF, what a great feeling. It feels good having moments like this, because it reminds you that change is possible and that dark times aren't permanent. 🙂

So true sbella02, 

I had a busy & productive weekend. We re arranged a couple of rooms & it looks great. I haven't felt this happy for a while. This week I will get back into my exercise so I hope this helps keep the good mood going. It's like the anger & negativity in my mind has been replaced with smiles & laughter. My "space" feels cleared. It's amazing. It's like the reading has cleansed my soul & my thoughts.  I'm excited for the future. I haven't felt this way for a long time.

Hi CMF

 

So happy to hear you're feeling the flow again. I say it's always a good investment when we pay for something that makes the world of difference and sets us on the best path. Wondering whether you go for a reading only when you feel the need or it's a regular thing, every so many months.

Hi therising, 

I usually have a reading only when I feel the need ie I'm seeking clarity but I have noticed it is every 3 - 6 months. Whilst I know everything in the reading is not going to be 100% she is very accurate & intuitive.  I remember the things that came out in Mt 1st reading when she knew nothing about me & I said nothing. It was spot on.

I think I may sit down by our lake today & relect on the good in my life. I hope the sun is out so I can soak up its warmth. 

Anyone like to join? 🙏😊

Hi CMF

 

At the lake with you😎, I discuss the following...

 

The guy I go to see, who provides readings while offering insights, is someone I go to see once ever couple of years. I typically see him when I'm in a depression that I'm seriously struggling to get out of. The handful of times I've seen him, he's changed the course of my life. He's raised me. While some may ask 'What the hell are you doing going to see one of those woo woo people?', I laugh. My response is 'I could gain greater clarity from this guy in one sitting than I could in several sittings with a psychologist. Technically, going to see him is a time and money saver on a significant scale. Why the heck would I not want to save time and money?'. I think that's a fair response 😅  Logic dictates, in my mind, when I need to be able to see the way forward, why would I not employ a seer, one who's always been able to see what I can't?

 

I ask about how often you go based on me considering going to see my guy as a form of regular maintenance, as opposed to seeing him rarely and only out of sheer desperation. Maybe a couple of times a year could be a start. While I have some vision in my life right now, it's a little hazy or fuzzy. Perhaps I'll give my guy a ring and make a booking.

 

What I can see and feel is the sun in this spot beside the lake. To feel that sun is quite the achievement, given it's a chilly 12 degrees in Melbourne right now 😁

Therising that's exactly why I have regular readings. When I'm struggling,  need clarity or can't "see" what's in front of me. I also find my reader is so intone that I talk to her like a counsellor. She gives sound advice & guidance when I've felt lost & too much in my own head. My readings are over the phone & I also find her voice soothing. I can hear her flipping the cards & I don't have to say much. Other times I talk to her like a therapist.  It is a great comfort knowing I can book a reading when I feel I'm off my path. I feel better every time.

Hi CMF

 

I find the same thing, a sense of counsel. My guy actually began as a life coach and said he found over time that his coaching method became more about soulful guidance than anything else. Eventually he realised he was more intuitive than he originally thought, based on feedback from his clients. He mentioned he'd always had good intuition, even as a kid, but was never led to develop it until he was older.
