Gratitude Thanking & Power of Manifestation

Gratitude, Thanking & the Power of Manifestation

I honor you…
I honor the place within you
where the entire universe resides.
I honor the place within you
of love and light, of peace and truth.
I honor the place within you where,
when you are in that place in you
and I am in that place in me,
there is only ONE of us.
*Namaste”

One of the things I was always fascinated of was there are “Thanks Giving Days” in some countries. Silently I wished we can turn our days, all of our days, to “Thanks Giving” days!
Thanking and being grateful is about a warm and friendly feeling toward a benefactor; a kindness awakened by a favor received; it is a feeling of content and appreciation.

In recent years, two psychologists are working to unlock the puzzle of how faith might promote happiness. Dr. Michael McCollough, of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, and Dr. Robert Emmons, of the University of California at Davis, say their initial scientific study indicates that gratitude plays a significant role in a person’s sense of well-being.
The results of the study indicated that daily gratitude exercises resulted in higher reported levels of alertness, enthusiasm, determination, optimism and energy. According to the findings, people who feel grateful are also more likely to feel loved.

McCollough and Emmons also noted that gratitude encouraged a positive cycle of reciprocal kindness among people since one act of gratitude encourages another.

McCullough says these results also seem to show that gratitude works independently of faith. Though gratitude is a substantial part of most religions, he says the benefits extend to the general population, regardless of faith or lack thereof. In light of his research, McCullough suggests that anyone can increase their sense of well-being and create positive social effects just from counting their blessings.
When you are in a sincere state of gratitude your energy (vibration resonance) is one of acceptance and harmony. You resonate and as a result project a much higher vibration frequency which is exactly what attracts to you the events, conditions, and circumstances that you desire.

Think of yourself as a giant magnet. Whatever you are feeling, whether it be love, fear, anger, happiness, anger, joy, gratitude, resistance etc. you are in essence creating a magnetic force that attracts and draws to you events, conditions and circumstances which are in direct correlation to what you are feeling. Fear of something creates a magnetic force that will attract more of what you fear. Expressing Gratitude for any situation projects a magnetic force that draws to you more of what you are expressing gratitude for.

In other words gratitude puts you in a harmonious vibration resonance which attracts additional energies. Gratitude is an acceptance of things just the way they are which correlates with acceptance which in turn resonates and projects a much different resonance of energy creating a magnetic force that is conducive to attracting the “desired” outcome.

A common question that comes up is:
“How in the world can I be in a state of gratitude when everything seems to be going wrong?”
Let’s dig down a bit deeper, analyze this a little further and you’ll have a crystal clear understanding of what is actually happening.

Always remember that the events, conditions and circumstances that you’re currently experiencing are manifestations based on thoughts and emotions that you’ve chosen at some point in the past. It’s due to those thoughts and emotions which represent the seeds, that you are experiencing whatever outcome you currently are. Remember that you are the one that thinks your thoughts. Your thoughts do not think you. In the same way, the emotions experienced serve as a gauge and are a reflection of the quality of thoughts that you are thinking.

Since your current outcomes are based on what you have thought and felt at some point in the past and those outcomes are now being experienced in your life, guess who created them? YOU did!!
Simply recognizing the fact that you brought them into your life in and of itself provides you with an understanding of your creative power which in and of itself should instill a sense of gratitude that you’ve been provided the choice as to what you will create for your life.
Although prior to understanding how this process works you were in essence “unconsciously creating”, now you can begin to “consciously create” more to express gratitude for.

Once you fully grasp and understand that your current experiences here and now are merely guideposts showing you that you are either on the right path of creating your desired outcomes or that you need to make some adjustments in your thought processes that created them, you will become empowered to express heartfelt gratitude for whatever is currently happening in your life recognizing the fact that YOU created it.
Sure…you could get mad at yourself and choose to be upset but what energy are you resonating through that choice? NOT the kind that will attract desired outcomes for sure.

Your perception of something going wrong is only your perception, which is all. A misguided perception based on false beliefs and a lack of understanding that EVERYTHING unfolds in your life perfectly just as you choose and instruct.

In the bigger scheme of things, Nothing EVER goes “wrong.” It is only based on a lack of deeper understanding concerning the process of creation that you “perceive” something as going wrong. The process of creation NEVER wavers. It is, has been and always will be perfect, precise and unfailing 100% of the time.

It is only wrong thought and wrong perceptions that are responsible for igniting emotions that attract creations that show up in your life in the form of events, conditions and circumstances that you perceive as “going wrong.”

When you are able to fully develop that awareness, (and with a little practice, you will) not only is it an extremely freeing experience, but you are setting yourself up for a much greater flow of Abundance and Happiness being attracted and coming into your life…EVERY area of your life! When the Universe sees that you are grateful for what you have, it will send you more.

This is exactly how Universal Laws operate. The universe doesn’t
perceive anything as good or bad, it only sends outcomes to you based on your vibration resonance, and your attitude concerning any given thing is exactly what determines that vibration resonance.

So today and every day I am Grateful and Thankful for:
• For loving friends and family
• For friends that are family
• For prayers of Gratitude and Thanking
• For all the people who were kind and gentle with me
• For all the people who taught and inspired me.
• For great memories and happy moments
• For the good days…and the “Not so Good” days
• And for what WAS…and what IS…and what WILL BE

Each time we see goodness, creativity, and love in someone else we are also acknowledging it in ourselves. When we deny it in others, we deny it in ourselves, and in the Source of Life who created us all.

Meeting anyone – an acquaintance, a stranger – is a holy encounter.
As we see others, we see ourselves.
As we treat others, we treat ourselves.
When you live charged with gratitude, you will give thanks for anything or anyone who has benefited you, whether they meant to or not. When gratitude is this well established, it is a sign of a heart that has been made right and whole. Gratitude can’t coexist with arrogance, resentment, and selfishness.

A simple and effective way to practice gratitude is by making giving thanks part of your everyday life. The habit of saying blessings can remind you to be thankful for all the little things that are constantly happening in our lives.

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, and confusion into clarity…. It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow”.
Melodie Beattie

Saying thank you must be sincere. Otherwise, it comes across as manipulation, which people resent. However, when done creatively from your heart it can make a big difference in your relationships with those who contribute to your success as a Human Being.

“To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. Nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. Everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude”.
Albert Schweitzer
