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?

I feel down today. Maybe something ha triggered me bit I feel angry with him.  I have an weird feeling too, like he is  thinking of me. I feel bitter toward him.  I hate him,  the  way he took me for granted. I wonder if he is  thinking of me cos I feel negative energy.

Tomorrow I am donating all the gifts he gave me to charity. I have no feelings for them. It is time to be rid of the energy they hold.

[CMF]

I did it. I did hesitate but I did it as they hold no value for me. I went through them, held them. Nothing. Rather than dump on a charity bin I dropped them into a shop.  I feel a little sad BUT I've had a few days off while my little miss is away  on camp & I miss her. I just think of the times he invalidated my feelings, put others before me & I realise I had no reason to hold onto those things. On a positive, I received some unexpected money today so that was nice. Thank you Universe 🙏

Hi CMF

I'm glad the purge felt therapeutic. Definitely sounds like progress. I'm also glad you were able to tap into some honest and challenging emotions that came to light for you. While hindsight's a great tool, it only works when looking back be gee it offers great clarity when it does come to serve us. It's important that you take the time to now validate those emotions or feelings that he failed to acknowledge.

With that gift from the powers that be, I hope you buy yourself something really special with it. Maybe something that states in some way 'My feelings are valid and they're an important part of who I am' or perhaps something that signifies transformation. Perhaps a butterfly-ish kind of thing or something along those lines. Maybe even a treat out in regard to some culinary delight. 😊

Thanks therising, 

Lately my left eye has been twitching.  Today my daughter had an appt at his sis'clinic. I had hiccups in the waiting room. I was anxious about bumping into her so took control & knocked on her door to say hi. She was with a client so we didn't chat but I'm glad I was brave enough to break that ice. I can't wait till they talk about it over their Wednesday night family dinner tonight. She hasn't seen my longer, wavy hair & weight loss.  I'm glad I had the courage to be strong & do it. I'm not gonna shrink myself cos of him/them.

I'm happier but still can't let it all go. I don't know why. I just feel something is not finished. It is starting to annoy me. Maybe I need to bump into him to see the reaction?

[CMF]

I still have his number but I changed his name to an X so it's at the bottom where it belongs & I don't have to see his name.

My heart feels a little heavy & I'm thinking about him alot. Do you think it's because he's thinking of me? Do you think he misses me on Saturday nights? Is he pondering things like me or does he just not care. I don't know why I feel sad tonight. All I know is I can't stop thinking of him & I feel heavy. I wish it would stop.

[CMF]

I know I pick up on the energy of others. I'm wondering if, after seeing his sister,  he is thinking of me? Could this be why my heart feels heavy & I can't stop thinking of him? Or is it just me thinking more cos I saw her?

Hi CMF

Some feelings can really leave us guessing at times. I think there's only one way to find out for sure in some cases. Whether it's worth investing our time, energy and focus into gaining confirmation is another thing.

I feel for you so much when it comes to a heavy heart. Those who love deeply can suffer through such a feeling. Do you think that catching up with some friends for some light hearted experience could help with that or maybe some light hearted day dreaming or meditation is in order. Perhaps a light hearted walk in nature or something else might be the call. I know, all easier said than done, changing the connection or channel through which we feel.

For a channeler, sometimes some channel surfing's in order. This leads me to think of a woman I work with. I recall talking to her about how she intuitively manages to see the way forward. She mentioned how she visualises a number of televisions and on each screen a future possibility is playing out. She chooses the image/channel/screen in her mind that best appeals to her and that's the vision she follows. That's the one she connects to or manifests into reality.
