More Abundance and Gratitude

Gratitude & Abundance!
By Aine Belton

Certain states of consciousness hold a resonance field that accelerates
the manifestation of your desires.

Gratitude is certainly one of them!
Gratitude is a generating energy that will serve to attract more of
anything you feel grateful for into your life.

In that sense it is a powerful abundance ally!

Gratitude aligns you to, and subsequently attracts, that which is for
your highest good, and opens you to more of the love, joy, gifts and
blessings the universe wishes to bestow.

Along with appreciation, gratitude opens your heart, raises your
energy, and elevates you from even the darkest of states.

In feeling grateful for something or someone, you essentially
‘receive’ it, as well as give to it from your heart, which effectively
aligns your vibration to it, and directs your focus, attention and
energy towards it, attuning your heart and mind to that which is
positive.

Whatever you focus on grows, so when you appreciate someone, see their
value and beauty and feel grateful for it, those qualities will expand
and grow in your life.

When you focus on everything in your life you have to feel grateful
for, and all the wonderful things, experiences and people you
appreciate, the universe hands you more of the same!

It’s a wonderful abundance expanding experience!

Gratitude is the sweet song of appreciation. It turns an experience,
person or event into a gift that is received, for when you appreciate
and feel grateful, you literally let the experience/quality in, and
you also give to it. It is a wonderful exchange of positive energies.

When you feel grateful you experience more of your love, which enhances
your state in a beautiful magical way.

You also get to experience all the beautiful qualities of that which
you feel grateful for all over again!

“Gratitude is a powerful tool. If you will allow yourself to feel
grateful, your processing and programming can work immeasurably
better… As you feel grateful for what you have, you start having
more things about which to feel that gratitude.”
- Lazaris

Keep a gratitude journal and write down at the end of each day
10 things you feel grateful for over the last 24 hours to assist you in
experiencing more of this wondrous, generative, heart-opening energy.

When you do so, be sure to connect to the heart-felt feelings of
gratitude, i.e. don’t just make it a mental box-ticking process – really engage your emotions.

Add to that list a few things you are grateful to YOURSELF for,
positive qualities, actions, traits and demeanours, how you’ve
handled your day or any situations, how you’ve taken care of yourself
or been kind to others, etc.

And lastly, be grateful to the FUTURE you’re creating. You are a
powerful manifesting being and when you begin to feel grateful for
the dreams you are creating and person you are becoming, you begin
to attract them more powerfully into your life, for you give the
message to your subconscious mind they have already manifested.

Violet-Flame Meditation
The Power Of Transmutation

Use the Violet-Flame meditation as a powerful tool to release negative karma, raise your vibration and consciousness.

The violet flame is a powerful tool anyone can use in meditation. It helps release negative karma, raise your consciousness awareness, the frequency of your vibration, and accelerate your spiritual growth. Energy can?t be erased but it can be changed, transmuting negative into positive, darkness into light. This allows you to make the choices you feel negatively about become positive, while also changing your emotional experience. Physically, the violet flame releases emotions and energy pent up within that make you vulnerable to illness and disease.

The violet flame in meditation uses a combination of affirming thoughts and visualization. Once centered, begin by surrounding yourself with white-and-blue protective energy. You may even want to call on archangel Michael for his protection while you go into this powerful spiritual state. Then repeat thoughts such as ?I am cleansed and purified by the violet flame.? Picture a huge bonfire before you, its immensity making you feel small beside it, and marvel as the colors flicker between purple, violet, and bright pink. Sense its warmth while noticing that it will not burn you. Step into the flame, letting it surround you entirely while also filling the spaces in your body, your thoughts, even the cells and molecules within you. Once there, focus on the positive things you?d like to create in your life or your hopes for others. Visualize the violet flame in the midst of the scenes as they unfold in your mind. You may want to ask that the power of the flame be multiplied to as! sist those in need.

When you have finished your meditation, be sure to close with gratitude. The violet flame is a powerful tool that should be used consciously and with intent. Forgetting to close with thanks keeps you connected and may lead to the unintentional misuse of this energy. It is always a good idea when finished with any spiritual practice to give thanks as this creates closure. Saints and adepts throughout the ages have known how to use the violet flame, but it is available for all to use to raise our awareness and, eventually, that of all mankind.

A Stroke of Insight

December 30, 2009 in Attitude of Gratitude | No comments

Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions — motion, speech, self-awareness — shut down one by one. An astonishing story. She did an 18 minute presentation on TED regarding this – it is brilliant, an extraordinary account of how our brains work within our spiritual self. Please take the time to view this enlightened performance.

The Gift of Giving

August 8, 2009 in Attitude of Gratitude | No comments

When it came time to celebrate a couple of friends’ birthdays at High Mesa Healing Center, the subject of gifts came up, of course. Usually this group gets together for birthdays at a local restaurant where we enjoy a meal and then open cards and presents – little things like candles or earrings. For Willy’s and Zoe’s birthdays we did something different. Both women decided they would rather the group donate to their favorite charities. Cards are precious but I know personally I have great difficulty throwing these away, so consequently I have boxes of sentimental greetings that I’ve collected and stored over the years.

When I was told the wish was to not receive these cards or little gifts, but that we would donate whatever we could to the Food Bank and the Humane Society, I was impressed and pleased. We gathered at Barbara’s home out on the deck and all shared a salad potluck lunch. Everyone brought something different and all the dishes were delicious. We had a carrot salad, shrimp salad, mozzarella and tomato bowl, cole slaw, chicken salad with crackers, home-grown tomatoes, and other wonderful salads. After we finished our lunch we sang Happy Birthday and enjoyed home-made carrot cake. The donations were collected in beautifully-wrapped little boxes with slits on the top. Willy and Zoe took their donations and a last piece of birthday cake and that’s all. We all agreed this is how we will celebrate our birthdays from now on. The gift of Giving is the best gift of all!
