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?

CMF, it's always difficult seeing somebody's name or initials after they're no longer in your life. It's almost like we become hyperaware of it. 

Glad to hear that things are going well with your new friend! It's important to foster these connections that serve us well. 🙂

I saw M' s mum on the weekend.  She misses me. I saw another number plate with the letters of his. My new friend & are getting along so well. We understand each other & what we have to give. I have been seeing soooo many angel numbers.  I'm quite anxious at the moment so I hope they are to reassure me & help me refocus 🙏

Hi CMF,

It is wonderful you and your new friend are getting along so well. I wonder if there's a way to just feel really present with that, that helps the anxiety to dissipate? I am slowly learning to stay more in the present moment which does seem to help with anxiety. Keep enjoying your time with your new friend 🙏

I haven't heard much from my new friend this week. I do know his work has been extremely busy. On the other hand I can't escape my ex. When we split but we're still talking I asked him to let me know if anything happens with his grandfather. His grandfather gave us his blessing as he didn't know we had split. We'll I don't talk to my ex anymore but bumped into his sis last night & she told me their grandfather passed away yesterday.  I messaged his mum to give my condolences.  How bizarre that I cared to know and then I see his sis who gives me the news on the actual day of his passing. I just can't seem to cut this connection * funny how when ex vibes are around I don't hear much from my new friend.

I also unblocked exes number last week. It's almost like doing that has blocked my path with new friend.

[CMF]

Still can't break away from my ex. He kept popping into my mind this week. Just thoughts on how much I can't stand him & the whole 5 years with sis. My sister means aged yesterday to ask if I knew his grandfather died. Her hairdresser knows their family somehow. 

On the other hand I was thinking how new friend, I'll call him S, if the complete opposite.

Where M caused anxiety, S brings calm

Where M made me feel poor & that I was lacking,  S brings me &

makes me feel abundant

Where M brought confusion, S brings clarity

M made me feel I wasn't enough., S has shown I can be myself & who I am is enough.

Where M always has other things going on in the background with sis etc. S brings transparency 

Where M said what he thought I wanted to hear, S is honest about where he is in his journey

Where the lines were blurred with M, they are clear with S.

Hi CMF

I was thinking of you just yesterday, wondering how you're traveling through life right now (hoping you are doing well). And here you are. So glad to hear from you.

It sounds like one of the greatest gifts S brings you is higher consciousness. Thanks to him you are now more conscious of what calm feels like, what abundance and richness feel like, what clarity feels like, what self love/self acceptance/self appreciation feel like, what transparency and healthy paths and boundaries feel like. They're emotions or certain energies in motion within our self that can be felt as they move through us or sit within us. What a gift S is to you, to give you such experiences with feeling. I know it's challenging, yet it still offers a sense of consciousness, to feel what the opposite type of person gives to us or has given to us. Both types of people offer a comparison. Without one or the other, there would be know way of knowing how truly amazing all the inspiring and positively energetic feelings really feel.

While we can be brought to life through our emotions, I believe we can feel ourself slowing dying through them too. The question becomes 'Who can we feel bringing us to life and who can we feel leading us to gain a sense of what it's like to slowly die inside (through a deeply depressing relationship)?'. Sounds pretty intense, hey. You can now feel/sense the difference. S definitely sounds like a truly beautiful life source, a reflection of yourself. I'm so happy for you both to have found each other 😊❤️

Hey CMF and wave to the rising,

I so agree with what the rising is saying about it sounding like S is bringing you a higher consciousness. For me these are like higher frequency relationships, we just know they are healthier and they show us all the more clearly what are lower vibrational relationships that have negative energy in them. It's like an opportunity to release yourself from that lower vibrational energy and connect with what is life-giving and life-affirming. It's truly a gift.

Blessings to you,

ER

Eagle Ray, you've inspired me. Thank you so much ❤️

If every cell in our body is vibrating or vibing at a higher frequency, we're going to feel that. There has been a kind of cherry on top that's been missing when it comes to how I'd define feeling my husband's nature. You've given me that cherry, for what is now a complete or completed revelation. I can feel myself coming down to match his vibe a lot of the time. For him, I believe it's easier for me to come down to meet him than it is for him to raise himself out of many of his energy zapping habits (drinking included).

Thanks for raising me ER, you're magic 💖

Oh, thanks therising ☺️🙏 I know you often speak about being raised and it makes sense. In the past few weeks I’ve had that raising experience with others, even bizarrely from someone close to me who passed away. It’s the spirit in a person that lifts us up somehow. I’ve just felt the light from others. Then some can bring us down again somewhat, but I think perhaps too we can kind of hold our frequency to an extent while still sort of meeting them where they’re at. It can be challenging though can’t it. Sometimes I feel my own energy go down a bit through my own thought processes. Then something like a beautiful song or an interaction with a beautiful person can lift it up again.

Thank you to you too 🙏💖
