My Practice and Choices Shape my Experience

Every morning, we have the opportunity to set the frequency of our vibration for peace of mind, confidence, love, peace, creativity and so much more. By spending your day looking for the good will bring about an increase of good to you. A practice of meditation helps you to set your mind not to react to all that attention getting headlines. When you see yourself being calm and not buying into the latest horror story, you will realize that you are making progress.

You can revisit your gratitude practice in the evening as you are getting ready for sleep.  If you aren’t actively looking for good after a full day of it, you can log in your journal all the good that came about. In this situation, the Universe has no other choice but to send you more things to be grateful.

If, on the other hand, you are feeling grumpy when you wake up and you don’t have a practice of gratitude or meditation – your vibrational frequency is a match to the world’s negative vibration. Guess what? The Universe is matching your frequency with some manifestations that will perpetuate the belief that everything is bad.

I recently had an illness that gave me the opportunity to leave the planet or stay on it. It truly showed me the value of our daily spiritual practice. I had the opportunity to buy into what a doctor was saying to me or I could go within and work on a better outcome. When I went within, I asked myself if I was ready to transition from this life to the next and the answer was not at this time.

After that experience, I say go for the big items. Don’t hover around the little items, like the parking space near the door of the grocery store. I say go for the big items and know the truth, that they don’t have to exist. When you see results on that level, you will understand that it is as easy for the Universe to manifest a thimble as it is to manifest a castle. Students of Abraham–Hicks will know this.  There is no level of difficulty for the Universe. We are the ones that try to limit what it can do for us.

We have agency over our minds and therefore our experiences. By symbolically closing our eyes to that which is bringing confusion into our lives, we can go within and have some silent time. You will never hear your guidance (or intuition) if there’s an argument going on in your head.

In Buddhism, you become able to notice those ego centric words floating by and not react to them. Then you can keep your mind steady. I even read something this past week that said a practice of silence and going within is an act of self-love. We all must learn to love ourselves enough to keep up a daily spiritual practice so that we attract more loving experiences into our lives. The power is in your hands.  The savior is within you, not outside of you.

I wish you a happy week full of blessings and rich ideas. May you be centered on beauty and creativity as you see spring making an attempt to emerge. Enjoy the view.

With love,

John
