Abraham Hicks: Glorious Experience of Allowing

Abraham: Appreciation vs. Gratitude - Esther & Jerry Hicks

Notes on the questions, ‘What is appreciation really?’

1. Reaching for thoughts that feel better until you reach into a state of appreciation is your purpose.
2. Appreciation feels like the feeling of being in love.
3. Love and appreciation are identical vibrations. It’s the vibration of alignment of who you really are. It’s the absence of resistance, the absence of doubt. fear, self denial and hatred of others. It is the absence of everything that feels bad and the presence of everything that feels good.
4. Difference between gratitude and appreciation. Gratitude you are looking at a struggle you have overcome and feeling grateful that you are no longer in the struggle. Appreciation is vibrational alignment with whom I have become. Appreciation is seeing whatever you are looking at through the eyes of source.
5. The state of appreciation is the state of godliness.
6. Go downstream to the next stage of feeling ie. If you are in despair follow your revenge, if you are in revenge follow hatred, if you are in hatred follow you anger, if you are in anger follow your frustration, if you are in frustration follow your hope.  When you reach hope you are now in the vicinity of appreciation.
7. When you get into the vibration of hope, now begin making list of things that you feel good about. Make list of positive things, things you love and never complain about anything. eg to to a restarant and look for the things you like. Even if there was only one thing you like give it your undivided attention of positivity. Use it as an excuse to tune into who you are.
8. Give yourself a break, lighten up, be easy on yourself and others, look for things to love and appreciate.

Positive thinking: Reduce stress, enjoy life more

Positive thinking helps with stress management and can even improve your health. Overcome negative self-talk by recognizing it and practicing with some examples provided.

By Mayo Clinic staff

Is your glass half-empty or half-full? How you answer this age-old question about positive thinking may reflect your outlook on life, your attitude toward yourself, and whether you’re optimistic or pessimistic.

In fact, some studies show that these personality traits — optimism and pessimism — can affect many areas of your health and well-being. Positive thinking also is a key part of effective stress management. Positive thinking doesn’t mean that you keep your head in the sand and ignore life’s less pleasant situations. It just means that you approach the unpleasantness in a more positive and productive way.

With all this in mind, take a refresher course in positive thinking. Learn how to put positive thinking into action in your own life, and reap the benefits.

Understanding positive thinking and self-talk

Self-talk is the endless stream of thoughts that run through your head every day. These automatic thoughts can be positive or negative. Some of your self-talk comes from logic and reason. Other self-talk may arise from misconceptions that you create because of lack of information.

If the thoughts that run through your head are mostly negative, your outlook on life is more likely pessimistic. If your thoughts are mostly positive, you’re likely an optimist — someone who practices positive thinking.

The health benefits of positive thinking

Researchers continue to explore the effects of positive thinking and optimism on health. Health benefits that positive thinking may provide include:

• Increased life span
• Lower rates of depression
• Lower levels of distress
• Greater resistance to the common cold
• Better psychological and physical well-being
• Reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease
• Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress

It’s unclear why people who engage in positive thinking experience these health benefits. One theory is that having a positive outlook enables you to cope better with stressful situations, which reduces the harmful health effects of stress on your body. It’s also thought that positive and optimistic people live healthier lifestyles — they get more physical activity, follow a healthier diet, and have reduced rates of smoking and alcohol consumption.

Identifying negative thinking

Some common forms of negative self-talk include:

• Filtering. You magnify the negative aspects of a situation and filter out all of the positive ones. For example, say you had a great day at work. You completed your tasks ahead of time and were complimented for doing a speedy and thorough job. But you forgot one minor step. That evening, you focus only on your oversight and forget about the compliments you received.
• Personalizing. When something bad occurs, you automatically blame yourself. For example, you hear that an evening out with friends is canceled, and you assume that the change in plans is because no one wanted to be around you.
• Catastrophizing. You automatically anticipate the worst. You refuse to go out with friends for fear that you’ll make a fool of yourself. Or one change in your daily routine leads you to think the entire day will be a disaster.
• Polarizing. You see things only as either good or bad, black or white. There is no middle ground. You feel that you have to be perfect or that you’re a total failure.

Focusing on positive thinking

Because your self-talk is mainly negative doesn’t mean you’re doomed to an unhappy or unhealthy life. You can learn to turn negative thinking into positive thinking. The process is simple, but it takes time and practice — you’re creating a new habit, after all. Here are some ways to think and behave in a more positive way:

• Check yourself. Periodically during the day, stop and evaluate what you’re thinking. If you find that your thoughts are mainly negative, try to find a way to put a positive spin on them.
• Be open to humor. Give yourself permission to smile or laugh, especially during difficult times. Seek humor in everyday happenings. When you can laugh at life, you feel less stressed.
• Follow a healthy lifestyle. Exercise at least three times a week to positively affect mood and reduce stress. Follow a healthy diet to fuel your mind and body. And learn to manage stress.
• Surround yourself with positive people. Make sure those in your life are positive, supportive people you can depend on to give helpful advice and feedback. Negative people, those who believe they have no power over their lives, may increase your stress level and may make you doubt your ability to manage stress in healthy ways.
• Practice positive self-talk. Start by following one simple rule: Don’t say anything to yourself that you wouldn’t say to anyone else. Be gentle and encouraging with yourself. If a negative thought enters your mind, evaluate it rationally and respond with affirmations of what is good about yourself.

Examples of typical negative self-talk and how you might apply a positive twist include:

Negative self-talk	Positive spin
I’ve never done it before.	It’s an opportunity to learn something new.
It’s too complicated.	I’ll tackle it from a different angle.
I don’t have the resources.	Necessity is the mother of invention.
I’m too lazy to get this done.	I wasn’t able to fit it into my schedule but can re-examine some priorities.
There’s no way it will work.	I can try to make it work.
It’s too radical a change.	Let’s take a chance.
No one bothers to communicate with me.	I’ll see if I can open the channels of communication.
I’m not going to get any better at this.	I’ll give it another try.

Practicing positive thinking every day

If you tend to have a negative outlook, don’t expect to become an optimist overnight. But with practice, eventually your self-talk will contain less self-criticism and more self-acceptance. You may also become less critical of the world around you. Plus, when you share your positive mood and positive experience, both you and those around you enjoy an emotional boost.

Practicing positive self-talk will improve your outlook. When your state of mind is generally optimistic, you’re able to handle everyday stress in a more constructive way. That ability may contribute to the widely observed health benefits of positive thinking.

Book Review: Hidden Messages in Water

This is an extremely interesting book written by Masaru Emoto. It makes you think twice about what water really is.

I first heard about this book after watching the movie, ‘What the Bleep Do We Know!?’  In the movie the lead character (Marlee Matlin) is in the subway where a tour guide is discussing the knowledge gained from Masaru Emoto’s research. Check out the clip below.

In his book, Emoto explains his theory, that water, exposed to positive thoughts, picutres, music and words forms beautiful complete crystals, while exposure to negative thoughts and words form ugly or incomplete crystals.

The basis of his experiments was to have words, either written or spoken, to a sample of water - sometimes distilled or tap, freeze it, then take photographs of the resulting crystals if there were any.

He discovered that the words ‘love and gratitude’ formed the most perfect crystals when written on paper and taped to the bottle of water for the water to ‘read’.  Defective water crystals were formed on exposure to phrases such as “You Fool” and “Do It”. He noted that distilled and spring water made the most crystals. 

Emoto used these finding to explain that because human beings are 60 - 70% water in adulthood, that we should treat each other with kind words and show ‘love and gratitude’ to all.  He also stated that everything has it’s own vibration, which can be felt by some people. Vibration and resonance seem to be a common thread in the books I’ve read so far.

In addition to words, he also played various types of music for the water, finding that classical music resulted in beautiful crystals, and heavy metal created ugly ones. 

Here’s another video that explains the positive and negative energy effects on water crystals:

I would recommend reading.

Happy Friday the 13th…

So it’s Friday the 13th….oooooo. I was in a meeting today and made that comment and literally everyone had shivers go down there spine. Why are people so afraid of a day?

The number 13 has long been considered by superstitious Westerners to be unlucky. Even today, many towns and suburbs don’t have 13 as a street number, or 13th Street, and most hotels do not have rooms with 13 on the door. Many tall buildings do not have a 13th storey, with the elevator going straight from Floor 12 to 14.

Well the one thing I know is that almost everyone in the Western hemisphere is afraid of the number 13.  If you notice it’s been removed from floor - they jump from 12 to 14, streets are rarely called thirteenth street and some hotels don’t have 13 on the door of suites.

I say we change our frequency on that and embrace the day as a special and lucky day. So Happy Friday the 13th!!

Find out more why Friday the 13th is scary.
