"Whether you think you will have a good day or whether you think you will have bad day, you are right!" Have you heard this? It's true, isn't it?
Our minds have so much power. How often have you heard that we only use a small percentage of our brains? Many people believe life happens TO them, while fewer can say, "I CREATE my life." This is also the premise of The Law of Attraction, featured in the movie, The Secret.
This journal will help you flex a very powerful emotional muscle -- that of gratitude. This goes beyond just "positive thinking." Scientific studies have shown that something occurs in the physiology of people who truly live their lives in a higher state energetically. They are healthier and are able to attract amazing things into their lives. This is what I intend and wish for you.
But don't just take my word for it. Here's what some experts have to say in support of the power of living in the higher energetic state of gratitude:
“You must focus on healing yourself so you’ll have this healing ability to offer others. If you reach a level of blissful illumination, where you’re reconnected to the Source and are harmonized vibrationally, you begin to radiate the energy that converts disease to health.”
- Mahatma Ghandi
“Bring higher/spiritual energy to the presence of lower/diseased energy, and it not only nullifies the lower energy, but converts it to healthy spiritual energy. In the field of energy medicine where these principles are being applied, tumors are bombarded with exceptionally high laser-energy that dissolves and converts them to healthy tissue. Energy medicine is the discipline of the future, and relies on the ancient spiritual practice of being the change, or healing others first by healing ourselves.”
- Dr. Wayne Dyer, The Power of Intention “In every studied case of recovery from hopelessness and untreatable disease, there has been a major shift in consciousness, so that the attractor patterns that resulted in the pathologic process no longer dominated.”
- David R. Hawkins, M.D., PhD., Power vs. Force “Just as the subatomic particles that compose us cannot be separated from the space and particles surrounding them, so living beings cannot be isolated from each other. . .By the act of observation and intention, we have the ability to extend a kind super-radiance to the world”
- Lynne Mc Taggart, The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe “Studies show that when we are thinking creatively, or when we are feeling peaceful, or when we’re feeling love, those emotions generate a very coherent electromagnetic field. And that electromagnetic field is broadcast to the rest of your body. . . In a healthy body, this synchronicity is perfectly regulated. Healthy people are firmly locked into these rhythms. When disease occurs, one of those rhythms has gone awry. Stress is the biggest disrupter. If you’re stressed, if you’re feeling hostile, your body’s balance gets thrown off. When you are experiencing disease (“dis-ease”), then some part of your body is beginning to get constricted… The immune system gets suppressed, which leads to other problems, such as increased susceptibility to cancer, infections, and accelerated aging.”
- Deepak Chopra, The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire
"It's not easy being grateful all the time. But it's when you feel least thankful that you are most in need of what gratitude can give you."
- Oprah, O Magazine - Gratitude issue, November, 2000
“Because of the Law of Attraction, each of you is like a powerful magnet, attracting more of the way that you feel at any point in time.“
- Esther and Jerry Hicks, The Law of Attraction
“You must bring yourself into alignment with what you are asking for. That’s what joy is, that’s what appreciation is, that’s what the feeling of passion is. But when you are feeling despair, or fear, or anger, those are strong indicators that you are not right now in alignment with what you are asking for.“ - Esther Hicks, The Secret “Ok, what can you do right now to turn your life around? Start making a list of the things to be grateful for. Start with that, because this shifts your energy. It starts to shift your thinking. Where before this exercise, you might be focusing on what you don’t have . . . you might be focusing on your complaints and whatever the problems are. . . when you do this exercise, you start to go in a different direction. You start to be grateful for all of the things that you feel good about.” “Because when you start to feel grateful for what you already have, you will start to attract more of the good things -- more of the things you can be grateful for.” -Dr. Joe Vitale, MSC.D., The Secret
“Gratitude is absolutely the way to bring more into your life.” - Marci Shimoff, MBA, The Secret “Whatever we think about and thank about, we bring about.” - Dr. John Demartini, D.C., BSC, The Secret “. . .that’s the feeling that you have to have, so for me, it’s been such a powerful exercise, every morning, to get up and say “thank you”. . .and I start running through what I’m grateful for. . .and I’m not just thinking them and doing some rote routine, but I’m putting it out there and feeling the feelings of gratitude.“ -James Arthur Ray, The Secret
