Gratitude Lessons
I think most of us are aware that as human beings on Planet Earth we are part physical and also part spiritual or non-physical. The physical part is obvious: our flesh, blood, bones etc. The non-physical part is not as visible and perhaps rarely appreciated: our thoughts, our emotions, our soul connection to Source and the Intelligent Universe.
Gratitude Lessons / Law of Gratitude and Oneness
Learning to fully embrace and yes, enjoy, our everyday life experience is recognizing that it is the integration of BOTH our physical and non-physical energies that creates our happiness and our ability to manifest all that we desire. This is truly the uniqueness of our existence and our journey to Oneness.
Gratitude Lessons / Gratitude Meditation
What I am observing in my travels, either on a business or on a personal level is that so many of us are STUCK in our physical existence unable to comprehend and experience the fullness of who we are.
Close your eyes for a moment and think about some of the most pleasurable moments in your life. How about that brisk walk on the beach when you are enjoying the physical exertion and the smells and sensations of the water and scenery? How about those wonderful sexual moments shared with the true love of another?
Or perhaps, the physical action of just petting your dog or cat, and that feeling of calm and unconditional love which surrounds you? What about when you have lost those twenty pounds and you enjoy that wonderful new physical body along with that renewed sense of self-love?
In each of these examples the joy is in the integrating of both our physical and non physical energies. The key then, is figuring out how to be in this wonderful integrated state on a more regular basis, thus making our life experience on Earth as special as possible.
Gratitude Lessons/ Intention
Like most of our successful life endeavors, it begins with an intention. In this case the intention consists of continually being in this fully integrated physical/non-physical state, and then having the will power and self-discipline to practice regularly at achieving it.
Our non-physical Source, God, or Spirit connection knows only joy, love, and abundance, and we strengthen this connection by all of the following:
1. Listening to our Heart at all times
2. By being aware and in control of our thoughts, emotions, and words. We are different from all other animals in that we have this ability.
3. Having a regular practice of meditation or contemplation and affirmation. This takes discipline and self-determination - consistency is very important.
4. Being in a state of appreciation, forgiveness, and allowance. Understand that the present moment is a perfect place to be, and that you can manifest anything from there.
5. Balancing our male and female energies. Examples may be for men; more listening, more sensitivity, more quiet, and for women; more boldness, more risk taking, being less inhibited.
Gratitude Lessons/ Benefits of Gratitude
I learned many years ago, albeit with some discomfort, that whether it is our business or personal life experience, success requires more than just a goal and hard work.
Hard work is the physical, and it is important, however, once we understand the power of our non-physical connection, and begin putting it to use, our lives will change dramatically. Learning to harness our gift of this duality between physical and spiritual is one of the most potent manifesting techniques we have.
