Be Like Water

December 13th, 2009

I’ve been reading this wonderfully inspirational book by Wayne Dyer, Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life. This book looks at the 81 verses of the Tao Te Ching and breaks down into detail what they all mean. The most reoccurring symbol the Tao uses for the way you should live your life is water.

I had never really thought about it before, but I love the analogy. Water naturally flows to the lowest level. Whether it is draining down the gutters in the street or down a majestic waterfall, water flows down. According to the Tao we, as humans, can learn humility from the way water naturally flows.

When we begin to boast of an accomplishment, we are putting ourselves above others. To elevate ourselves in this way is not natural. It is as if our ego has taken charge of our divine spirit and made of point of letting others know we are better than them. If we were living like water we would keep moving forward not making a big production out of certain events in out lives.

Water is also patient. Over time it can wear out the densest material. Its flow is persistent as well as humble. Where we may give up when circumstances appear to be hopeless, water carries on. The ebb and flow of the tides creates new shorelines every moment. And its flow over riverbeds creates new dimensions in the hardest of stone over time.

Water remains flexible throughout turbulent weather. It freezes in the winter, thaws in the summer, and rises and falls in the form of precipitation. Water remains, only its form changes. If we used the natural ability to move with nature (like water), we would become more tuned into how to be, rather than what to do.

The more we connect to the universal divine energy, the easier life will become. When we reflect on the peaceful calm of a gentle lake our minds will naturally live in peace in that moment. When we let go of our accomplishments and possessions, realizing that they were not really ours to begin with, we will live with less anxiety.

When you try to grab a handful of water, it naturally slips through your fingers. Think of yourself this way-as a part of nature, and this infinite energy. Just like water, no one and no thing can contain you.

Meditate on this. Like water, allow your thoughts to flow to the deepest part of you. Do not try to control them, let them swim around naturally until they find their way.

This meditation can be like a spiritual healing offering inspiration in difficult times. Depression is a state created by ego-driven thoughts. If you lived like water depressed thinking would be a thing of the past.

Water nourishes everything it touches and gives without thinking. In this way, it gets what it needs, because the law of attraction supports its existence.

Water in its purest form expresses the power of love. You were surrounded by it in your mother’s womb. And you replenish your body with it everyday. When you live at one with water and become settled into “going with the flow” you will think less, and be more.

5 Sure Fire Ways to Attract Money

November 9th, 2009

The Law of Attraction is more than just a buzz phrase – it’s a universal law that is working all the time. The good news is you can use it to your advantage to bring you more of what you want. Since you are reading this article, let’s assume it is money you want more of. Great! As a divine being it is your natural state to live in abundance. Having that established, here are some solid steps to putting more cash in your bank account:

1.Be clear about what you really want. The more general you are about your aspirations, the less likely will experience the happiness that comes with crossing the finish line. Try this exercise to help clarify your needs:

-Write down exactly what your expenses are right now. -Write down what else you would like to accomplish (e.g. start a new business, buy a new vehicle, start an extra vacation fund).

-Figure out how much more money you will need every month to reach your goal.

-Be as specific as possible. The universe responds to clarity.

-Be consistent.

Once you figure out the amount you need, wake up everyday with this amount in your head. Then, tape it on your computer screen, your bathroom mirror, inside your wallet and on your refrigerator.

2.Practice affirmations. Once you have the specific thing you want, use it in your affirmations. Here are some examples to get you going in the right direction:

“The Universe has created a beautiful new home in Thousand Oaks, California for me and my family.”

“I am easily supplied with $20,000.00 a month.”

Affirmations like these let the universe know exactly what your heart’s desire is. Once you put it out there, let it go. If your intention was pure and clear in its delivery, the universe will respond. Just as the giant oak tree naturally is supplied with the energy from the sun, the universe will supply you with all you need.

Again, it is imperative that you know what you what. Know that you deserve it, as well. Just as nature accepts its gifts, and flourishes, you must accept your gifts so you can flourish.

3. Express gratitude. It is wonderful to be the beneficiary of all these good things. So when you practice your affirmations, also express gratitude. Act as if you have already received the extra money or the new car. Think of what you want as already existing (it is), and it is just up to you to attract it.

Expressing gratitude amplifies the positive energy between you and what you want. Everything is energy – it just changes form. When you become aware of the prosperity that is all around you, it will naturally manifest into your clear desires.

4.Visualize. By this time you have a clear idea of what you want. And you have been practicing your affirmations and expressing your gratitude.

Now, close your eyes and settle comfortably in the knowledge that what you want, you already have. This is more than positive thinking. This is your divine spirit embracing your gifts, knowing that happiness and abundance is yours.

Picture your new car, Open the door, squish your bottom in the leather seats. Smell that new car smell while you curl your fingers around the padded steering wheel.

How does this experience make you feel? What part of your body is experiencing this sensation? When you open your eyes, bring back these feelings in your daily life. When you are tuned into this these positive sensations you are in the process of attracting your desires. With patience and persistent, the law of attraction never fails to deliver.

Throughout this process your body and mind will be creating openings. When your positive feelings begin to dance inside of you like magical fireflies in the night, channels will be created to carry inspirational energy. This manifests as a feeling in your gut or intuition. Listen to this!

5. Take action. Based on what your intuition is telling you, act on this. This takes faith and courage. Many people become paralyzed when action is called for. It is common to stay with a course of action that is comfortable-even when it doesn’t make you happy!

Do not allow yourself to get caught in this rut. Listen the Dalai Lama whispering in your ear, “The purpose of our lives is to be happy.” An intelligent risk when the timing is right can turn your life from just okay to simply incredible.

Divine intelligence comes to you at just the right time when you to commit to the five steps in this article. However, It is very important that you approach this whole process with a sense of innocence and fun. If your purpose is to accumulate a huge pile of money so you can hoard it for yourself, the law of attraction will take it away from you in the most callous way.

Take this journey to abundance with the idea of circulating and sharing your good fortune. That’s why it’d called currency – it’s meant to flow. With that in mind, trust your inner guidance, follow the dips in the river, and enjoy the ride!
