The most popular subtle energy exercise known uses the process
of mental gender. It is commonly called ‘The Law of Attraction’. It is a process of INTENTION activated by
EMOTION to CREATE a desired outcome. The principle behind its effectiveness is
that energy flows in the direction of our attention. We are co-creating our
realities within this practice…consciously or unconsciously; positively or negatively.
A balanced mind is like an artist easel; it’s a perfect
place to create. This is why meditation or sitting /lying quietly are important
practices. Our culture works against balance with the activity behind its
economic focus. It subtly teaches that the more we accomplish in that style the
greater our success. We fill our schedules to the point that when outside
influences such as family needs, friends, or occasional mishaps arise we feel
overloaded. Mothers and caregivers are
often the most in need this balance yet feel the guiltiest for taking the
needed 'me' time.
When Rhonda Byrne’s
book, “The Secret”, became a best seller it brought this esoteric teaching into the light. I believe that its
information helped lift the consciousness of the planet but the majority needed
more. Within its pages are the steps to her journey including the need for self-acceptance
and balance. Its simplicity gave hope yet, I feel more insight is needed on how
to feel better about ourselves. That is the real journey since the intention we
put into our actions can have a massive impact on our own inner balance.
Over 20 years ago I learned to consciously work with this
mental process. After reading the
guidance of Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, I was in
qualification to win a car. The emotional catalyst applied to my desire for the
car was not one of achievement but that of FREEDOM. I had relocated to Florida
from Missouri to assist in the care of my widowed grandmother. I was living in
her home, sleeping on the sofa and trying to financially support myself without
personal transportation. I will always be thankful for my decision to help her.
It placed me within contact of a circle of supportive women. We did not share
problems as much as we would share ideas on time and life management.
Achieving the car required a 4 month qualification. I was positive,
staying busy and time passed quickly until the final month. Everything began to
change and I could feel that all I was building had begun falling apart. I became sick, the house was
filled with visitors, even the weather would not co-operate. I called a mentor and sobbed my predicament.
Her response was for me to get on my knees and thank God for all that was
happening… even if I did not feel thankful. Say the words. Fear, anger and agitation
contract our hearts energy, whereas gratitude is an expansive energy and opens
our hearts to receiving.
Energy is always in motion and it
travels in a circular pattern. Our thoughts and emotions are also energy and
are carried in this circle, all the while attracting more of the same before
returning to us. My wonderful mentor explained that even when we feel that
circumstances are out of our control if we stop, take a breath, and create a
quiet place that will allow a change our attitude everything else begins to
change.
This is the reason we bless food, forgive others, and give
to those in need. It is not to make us good people but to help us be happy,
healthy people. But I’ll go into all of that in some of the next writings.
