The 7 A's of Attraction.

I am secretly happy that I am ending the 2008 with a blog post about Laurie Brenner, the lady who has been consistently affecting my life for better. I feel ashamed that I am poor to express the level of impact she makes on me. Next to Dr.Wayne Dyer, Joe Vitale and Echart Tolle, she is the one I respect the most; she is also the one I want to see along with the other three masters.

About a month ago, she gifted me her e-book titled, "The seven A's of attraction".
The seven A's:

Ally, Apprise, Amend, Allow, Ask, Appreciate, Action

I liked her way of approaching modern religion and I was surprised to find that someone, somewhere in the world agrees with exactly the same of values of mine. I remember these words that I read in a book: "Don't be like a Christian, be like a Christ!"

We both have a liking for quantum physics. I strongly believe that those who know quantum physics may tend to look at religion the other way.

But I don't say all the religious rituals are purposeless. They slowly draw a person towards his source; it inculcates the belief in high power. Ultimately, that alone will make him surrender. This has happened to me. I am a live example.

I would like to quote so many sentences from 'The seven A's of attraction" but I will do only one now.

"Everyone is allowed to be who they are. There is no law that says you have to like everyone as long as you allow them to be as they are. Allowing them is loving them, but it doesn't mean they have to be right inside your bubble. "

There is much more, dear, so much more in that wonderful book and in everything that Laurie says. She is just a pure soul. She is clearly on her way to enlightenment.

A refreshing experience listening to audio books.

My relative’s daughter is just 7 years old. Her visit to my house yesterday was absolutely refreshing. Watching her pranks was so fun and rejuvenating. And she is a kind of prodigy. Her intelligence is beyond words to explain.

She asked me if I had ever listened to an audio book. I said no. Then she opened an audio book from a CD, made me wear the head phone and immediately my ears were filled with a soothing voice that must belong to a professional actor only.

There were music and special effects that were essential to the story. I was told that in some audio books, there were many characters played by different people with lovely voice.

I asked the child where she purchased the audio books. She instructed me to go to www.AllBookClubs.com and insisted that I do it in front of her so that she can show her favorite audio books to me.

It is no wonder she has improved her pronunciation and vocabulary. Now I have an idea! Why don’t I create my audio book of math tutorials?

Right Now we have the greatest opportunity.

Yes, right Now we have the greatest opportunity. It is the most simplest logic to decide now.

"You create your next moments out of this moment". This is the most inspiring and thought provoking sentence in my life. Read it again and let it sink into your mind. You can do better. Write it out in bold and place it in several places in your house.

For tomorrow's tree, you plant the seed today.

Why wait for New Year to take resolutions? If you act today, you will add 7 more days to the year 2009. After all, when you want to be a different person for 365 days in the 2009, won't you want to carry yourself like that for ever? So, why don't you resolve today itself and add 7 more days?

Am I making the point clear?

For me, every day is the start of another year; I hope for the best at the start of every day. A special New Year means nothing to me.

The easiest way to have permanent peace.

Inspired by Bhagvat Gita and a discourse on it by Sri.Velukudi Krishnan today in the television today, I am writing this blog post which will show you a surefire way to live in infinite peace.

To attain this invaluable peace of living, you need not:
Do penance on a hill;
Pray several times a day;
Indulge in charity;
Undergo self torturing methods to please God or seek forgiveness;
Recite slogans, chant mantras;
Meditate;
Read religious books;
Do religious rituals.

But do this only: Whatever you do in your life daily, just offer the result to God or Source. Don't have an ulterior motive for any of your actions except doing it just for the sake of doing, so you derive satisfaction.

What happens when you leave the befits of your actions to the God or Source?
You need not have to tell lie so you stand to gain;
You need not put on a face that is not you to impress others;
You need not bend anything to win;
You need not have to compete and thus live a stress free day;
You need not use devious ways to gain or save a few bucks.

When you are free of all these, naturally, a calmness set in! You are blisfully not bothered about any results that may arise out of your actions.

This is the highest vibaration of your self. At this state of mind, you release all your resistance (negative emotions and thought). And when resistance is removed, everything you desire, everything you ever wanted will easily start flowing towards you freely.

The vision board that just delivers without question.

Whether you are naturally creative or use a digital vision board, the result is the same which is both will deliver exactly as you have visioned. No questions asked by the universe. It is your faithful servant. It will deliver to you exactly what you have projected on it by your visualization.

Some are naturally creative. They possess the ability to visualize what they would like to see. For example, take the case of an architect. He first visualizes the building as he would see it erected. Then he goes about bringing the mental image on to his drawing board.

He then organizes the resources, work force and start building the structure that lays on the papers. Finally, it stands as he had originally imagined in his mind.

But most are not naturally creative. But they can appreciate creativity. They can see the beauty of a building, a car, a yacht, a web site. These images they have liked and appreciated will get lodged in some corners of their memory.

When they use a digital vision board such as the one developed by Orange Peel, they might recognize some of the pictures and would like to see it again and again. They can order their digital vision board to do that for them.

Then, one fine day, they will see what they repeatedly saw in their real life. It is that simple.

So, what actually you did to manifest your desire? You only saw them in digital version several times ie: you did what you liked and in the process manifested what you would like to have, do or be!

How wonderfully blessed you are!

What is Fertility Yoga?

A stray cat stopped my taxi abruptly on a rather deserted street yesterday. The weather out there was windy and pleasant.

I was returning with my husband after shopping in a taxi. The taxi driver somehow managed to stop the vehicle thus avoided hitting the cat. The car made some screeching sound due to sudden stop.

We stopped in front of an Infertility Clinic owned by a lady gynaecologist. In her consulting hours board, I saw the words, "Fertility Yoga'. I never heard about Fertility Yoga. I suppose it is meant for pregnant women or is it also meant for just married?

Have you ever come across Fertility Yoga and what it is meant to do to pregnant women? Will it mean upside down exercises?

I am going to search for more information about Fertility Yoga. I will write about my findings here only if I understand it.

Attract anything without doing anything.

Want one million dollars?
Want to buy the latest BMW?
Planning for the Christmas vacation in Hawaii?
Aiming to score university first?
Want to speak to God?
Would you like to see $25 daily through Google AdSense?
Want to learn SEO in three days?

Please add your others wants to the list. Don't spare anything. Paint a complete picture.

Finished?

Now look at your list and read again slowly. What do you think your emotion will be when everything in your manifests?

Happiness! Yes, you will feel happy and you want to feel happy.

Be happy now! You need not follow any spiritual practice; not necessary to meditate. No need to undergo physical torture to please God.

None is hiding behind the clouds waiting to shower material to you upon praying. Yes, no one is up there.

You simply attract the right energy that makes up any material.

How?

Just by being happy! The energy you send out when you are happy is the exact energy that can bring anything you desire.

This is the law of universe buddy. No exceptions!

There can be reasons for being sad and dejected. But you don't have to have any reason for being happy.

Here, there and everywhere!

A word, a phrase or even an image is enough to ignite something in me to write blog post here.

What inspired me to write the following content is at the end of this blog post in red letters.

The following are some of the reasons for our stress, worry, errors in judgment, inefficiency in work and unkindly behavior.

* You are taking bath thinking about what you are going to do once you are out of the bathroom.
* You are eating your breakfast thinking what is going to be your lunch menu or what did you eat yesterday.
* You are dressing up for the day thinking you would rather stay put today.
* You are at your office desk wishing you are doing some other work in another company.
* You are computing some data thinking about how you are going to handle the next segment of your work.
* You don't reply kindly to a question by someone because your mind is on the movie you are planning to see two days later.
* You are studying economics at the college but wishing you opted for another faculty.
* You just bought a laptop but immediately regretting because a desk top PC is more comfortable.

" You want to be here and you want to be there at the same time".

The idea is to concentrate on the 'Now".

How to get the answer from your spirit guides?

I was narrated an incident yesterday by a friend of my husband. He just gained basic knowledge on how to call his spirit guides. He tested a few times and he was full of glee that his spirit guides answered his calls.

On his last meeting with his spirit guides, he sought their advice on something he was planning to do. He was disappointed that his spirit guides did not respond.

I told him his questions were wrongly worded. He was not aware that spirit guides will not make your decisions for him. Sure, they will offer their opinions and advice if you ask for it, but they will NOT tell you what to do. The final decision should always be yours.

My husband’s friend then asked me how to get the best out of his spirit guides.

I told him to rephrase his question: “If you were in….; if you were offered…; if you were informed…, what would be your …..?

He immediately recognized the smartness in the modified approach. He thanked me a lot and went off hopefully.

I hope his spirit guides conveys their appreciation for me.

How to keep moving up in life?

From beggar to multi millionaire, all wants to move up in their life. This is the basis of this expanding universe.

But, unfortunately, in spite of the desire, not everyone moves up even though they possess qualifications, drive and persistence.

Why?

Human beings are traditionally comfort loving species. We keep resisting changes when they knock at our door. We steadfastly cling to our past even if we look for changes. This means we unconsciously are afraid of changes.

The change may be a different place, new job or new responsibilities. But we are still reluctant to let go of the past. We simply fail to realize that in order to make new things to happen, we have to make room for them by letting go of the past.

For every transformation to arise, somethings have to vanish.

But, if we cling to the past, it means we are refusing to go with the flow of life.

Sound of thoughts?

Sound of thoughts or thought sounds? Whatever it may be, the purpose of these sounds is to give sort of brainwave entertainment for you.

Me? I listen to Kishore Kumar songs only to stimulate my never tired brain. Brainwave entertainment is still new to many.

Artificially stimulating alpha mind with matching frequencies is the basis of brainwave soundtracks. Now more soundtracks are being made to relax the brain. I too have a couple of these brainwave soundtracks gifted by my friends.

Though, the web is full of testimonials about positive results these sound therapies have produced, I am still skeptic.

The one simple rule to get what you want.

* I wanted to excel in Mathematics;
I did.

* I wanted to study and earn a few degrees;
I hold M.Sc, M.Ed, M.Phil degrees.

* I wanted to teach;
I do.

* I wanted a business minded husband;
I have.

* I wanted a huge house;
I have.

* I wanted a son;
I have.

* I wanted to sleep a lot;
I do.

* I wanted to work from home;
I work from home now.

* I wanted to go to Himalayas;
I went.

The list of my wants and desires and the fulfillment of them is really big. But I don't want to brag any more. It is not my intention to boast.

Ok, how did I manage to get all that I wanted? Any secret?

Yes, I realized now only that I have been following this one simple rule:
" When you want something, but can live by without having it, you have upped the odds of having it".

This means I never really bothered if I get what I want. This nature was inborn.

Who emotes- you or your mind?

* My mind says I should stay away from that family whose culture is totally alien.
* I can't understand how the people of a particular nation eat that food.
* I strongly condemn the practice of that islanders.
* Politicians should behave like me.

You label, attach tags, pass judgments, thus literally blocking the ways to find true human relationship. These judgments and opinions stand between you and yourself, between you and fellow men, between you and nature and above all it is between you and God.

This sense of false identity with which we are not born is the cause of all the miseries of the world. When one nation throws away 3 gallons of milk just because they don't need it and another nation reports hundreds of death due to starvation.

If I, from India want to reach out and help, I am prevented due to political barriers which are only artificial and man made.

Who wants to reconcile to the fact that we are all one and separateness is just an illusion? Who is ready to assimilate the fact that nature holds no barriers. Who is ready to understand that all that we admire and appreciate-beauty, love, creativity-arise beyond mind?

Oh, who is John Galt?

The attraction of the Moon.

The Moon that attracts the bold and beautiful, the rich and young and the famous and celebrities is located on the 53rd floor of the Fantasy Tower at the Palms Resort.

So, what else you thought?

Like the moon in the space that is more associated with the night, this Moon is an ultra-modern night spot that truly feels like it should be on another planet. This night club has a retractable roof to reveal the view if the star studded or cloudy night sky as the case may be.

After completing a tour of the Las Vegas Strip in a helicopter, we had time to return to our hotel to freshen up and then we headed straight to the moon. This is our second stop of the 6 Las Vegas Shows we had planned for our three day sight seeing trip to Wild West.

How to enjoy life?

I have been teaching mathematics since 1990. My classes starts from 5.30 AM and closes at 8.00 AM
I get a break to read newspapers, operate washing machine, do the cooking and this and that.

Again my classes start at 3.30 PM and ends at 8.00 PM. I eat and retire dead tired.

Look at my husband who works more hours than me but he gets time to read books, visit his friends and takes time to go out of station for a couple of days occasionally. He life is really enviable.

So, what am I lacking?
Why don't I find time for the things I want to do apart from working for a survival?
Am I not sincere in my work?
Am I not earning more than my husband?

Just whats wrong? What should I do to remedy the monotony?

For this my husband gave me a note that read:
"If you always do what you have always done, then you will always get what you have always gotten".

I stared at the message for a long time. Something turned inside me. I knew.

Do you?

The power of silence-Part 9.

A great mystic like Buddha could easily sense the interior preparedness of the philosopher, who had unreservedly surrendered himself, with profound trust, docile humility, and audacious hope. The very decision of the philosopher to come to him asking for an experience of the Truth was already a revolutionary step of personal conversion.

Thus Buddha did not need any external force to teach him or lead him to the Truth. Neither was there any need to prescribe techniques and exercises or lessons on meditation.

For Buddha, the philosopher's sheer openness, the sublime emptiness that could now be filled to the brim, was enough. He therefore compares this philosopher to a good horse that is so watchfully alert and aware that it begins to run if it merely sees the shadow of the whip. The master has only to touch the whip and the horse nearly flies. Buddha has only to look into the eyes of the philosopher and all the teaching that can ever be imparted is readily received.

Buddha's Silence was not wordlessness or noiselessness. It had a transforming power, permeating and filling the atmosphere around him with such intensity that people seated at his presence experienced "the ineffable and the inexplicable."

His Silence had no movement, yet people around him moved closer to the Truth just by being in his presence, permeated and filled by the effulgence of his joyous stillness. His Silence was contagious. It was like the unseen powers of a magnetic field or the invisible sound waves that travel in the atmosphere.

True Silence is not forced by any internal or external factors. It is natural and spontaneous, active and sublime. It wells up from the depths of our personality and overflows with a certain rhythm. It is mauna in the fullest sense of the term. It radiates energy and emanates vitality. Peace and joy are inseparably interwoven in its very essence.

This Silence is not negative; there is no "absence" of something. It is wholly positive, pervading the entire atmosphere around him, so that he can just sit without uttering anything and the people around him can receive wisdom. It is this pattern of Silence that the early Buddhist sculptors and artists endeavored to convey in their images and replicas of the Buddha.

Buddha's Silence was the result of a profound harmony within himself and with the world outside. It pointed to a deep concord between the centre and periphery of his self and his states of awareness or consciousness. Buddhism refers to seven layers of such consciousness.

A joyous quietude is attained when these seven layers throb harmoniously, pulsating in sublime awareness. Buddha is silent because he knows the narrow boundaries of rational knowledge and the blind alleys of metaphysical queries. He knows the frailty and feebleness of words and concepts. His discovery of the language of Silence helped him dispel the inner darkness and void created by a rational thirst for knowledge

In the Christian mystical and contemplative tradition, silence is strongly recommended as an ingredient of the religio-spiritual quest. The Desert Fathers and the later monastic tradition stress the role of silence for interior spiritual growth. St. Benedict advises his followers, "Monks ought to be zealous for silence at all times . . . ." Silence creates an atmosphere and an attitude for listening and receptivity, for response and recollection. Only thus can the Truth, that is, the Divine Reality, be able to permeate our entire being.

When we are truly silent, we understand the richness of emptiness. Very often such silence is equated with truth. A story of one of the Buddha's disciples can help us to discern how the process of achieving emptiness is an ideal means of attaining the Truth:

Subhuti was one of Buddha's disciples. He was able to understand the potency of emptiness: the viewpoint that nothing exists except in its relationship of subjectivity and objectivity. One day, when Subhuti was sitting under a tree in a mood of sublime emptiness, flowers began to fall around him.

"We are praising you for your discourse on emptiness;' the gods whispered to him.

'But I have not spoken of emptiness;' said Subhuti.

"You have not spoken of emptiness, we have not heard emptiness," responded the gods. "This is true emptiness."

And the blossoms showered upon Subhuti like rain.

Being silent about our own exercises of manifestation can considerably speed up the process of manifestation. That is why I always suggest keeping your imaging and visualization exercises as a top secret, something strictly between you and Source Energy. There is no need to tell your parents or your friends about your own personal meditation practices, especially if your intuition tells you that they are only going to shake your faith.

Let me wind up this piece with a small beautiful piece of profound Zen poetry:

At a place deep
In green trees,
A lamp’s light
Burns long.
Spring pilgrims
Make their way to the temple;
Blossoms fall
At a monk’s closed gate.
In the mind, the ten
Thousand doctrines are still;
A clear, lone spring
Purls over rocks.
We do not ask
About our lives, our work,
And the silence between us
We keep.

What causes stress?

Today is Thursday, a hectic day for me. I will have to handle my classes till 8 PM. Also I was expecting the service engineer to repair the washing machine. I wanted him to come before 4.30 PM before the power goes off.

This caused stress in me.

On every 29th I have to pay my credit card dues. Usually, I will get the cheques from two of my students on 23rd itself with which I will manage my credit card payment. But twice in the past, the cheques came only on 27th. I had tough time paying my credit card on due date. So, I start feeling the stress by 22nd itself.

As you notice, both the causes of stress are my belief that the service engineer may not arrive in time and the cheques may be delayed.

So, it is clear that belief causes stress, not your business or life situations. If I believe that the cheques will arrive in time and the service engineer will also come before the power goes off, I will not have any stress at all.

Please read this again and it reveal several of your beliefs that were the causes for your stress.
"Belief causes stress, not your business or life situations." -Joe Vitale

17 second thoughts.

Every thought entertained by our conscious mind and accepted as true is sent by our brain to our solar plexus (also called abdominal brain which causes the feeling of chillness on hearing bad news), the brain of our subconscious mind, to be made into our flesh and to be brought forth in our world as a reality.

The above passage is from "The power of subconscious mind" by Joseph Murphy.

In layman terms, if you examine the events, experiences in your life, you will surely find a related thought that was entertained by you sometime in your past. What I mean by 'entertained' is you munched over a specific thought repeatedly whether it is a positive or negative thought.

A thought seeks it physical expression when it is given life for a minimum of 17 seconds. So, there is ample time for all of us to stop ourselves in the middle of thinking a negative/destructive thought and immediately replace it with a positive thought.

Someone asked me how to find out whether we are thinking positively or negatively. The answer is simple; very simple really. If you feel happy while thinking, then you are on a positive note. But negative thoughts, though might give satisfaction when we are in a sullen or sadistic mood, the after effects will leave a residue of unpleasantness in our heart.

This is a very clear indication of our nature of emotions.

Masters degree in education, reading, literacy.

A couple of years ago, my close friend, presently working as a teacher, consulted me about getting a PhD in Continuing Education from a university online, preferably from an American University.

Capella University came to my immediately as I have already written about several articles about it and also spoke in a few seminars about the convenience of distance education.

After that, my friend did not pursue it further for reasons unknown to me. Yesterday, I listened to the ‘Inside Online Education’- a podcast from Capella University and learnt about their Master of Science in education, reading and literacy specialization that is also approved by the state of Minnesota.

I intend to ask my friend to visit capellacommons.com and listen to the podcast that I am sure will encourage her to think again.

This blog post was based on information provided by Blogitive. For more information, please visit Blogitive.com.

Whatever you want, wants you.

Whatever you want, wants you!

What comes to your mind immediately after you read the above sentence?

I sat up when I read it for the first time. It seemed to be the basis of law of attraction. If the entire universe is made of the five basic elements-earth, fire, water, air and the space (sky), then our body, mind and the consciousness is also made up of the same five elements.

When we want something, the five basic ingredients of us start vibrating and sending out signals that attract the vibrations of that we wanted. So, we all get what we want, at least immediately on the mental level.

So, to see it on your physical level, we must allow them. But we must remember to leave all the details to the universe. Let the Universe figure out the place and time of delivery.

Just keep your faith and trust in the cosmic force and it will do the rest.

You can choose to read everything about law of attraction and how to practice it. All of them will end up saying this:
1. Get very clear on what you want
2. Visualize and raise your vibration about it
3. Allow It

The final part, 'Allow' sounds very simple but difficult to implement but possible. It requires dedicated practice.

Unfortunately we are all adept at practicing the art of resisting. Reading negative and disturbing news, seeing violent and horror movies, eating unhealthy food, doubting the benevolent nature of cosmic force are all the major contributors for our miserable and deplorable character. None of these allow us to cultivate the art of allowing.

In my life experience there is only one simple way to find out if I am practicing the art of allowing:
If I am happy NOW, I am allowing the gifts of Universe; else, I am definitely rejecting them. No exceptions.
