Good Vibrations

Have you ever had a feeling? You know what I mean, a hunch, a premonition that you know what’s about to happen next, good or bad? Yes? What did you do? When we get these feelings, the majority of us never take any notice of them, we brush them off as a glitch of sorts, but then again some of us have learned to actually respond to that feeling – with great effect. Now the big question I ask myself is: what is this feeling? Intuition, a sixth sense, being psychic, spider senses; whatever we call it, it’s real, we can’t deny this, or are we all imagining it? Anyway let’s get on to the matter at hand; what is it? And why don’t we take more notice of it? Think about it: each and every one of us has felt this, it can’t just all be down to coincidence can it? We all have a kind of superpower that we take no notice of, what would happen if we all started to take notice of our senses? We see with our eyes, we hear with our ears, we smell with our nose and so on, but we have lost the ability to sense. Animals still use sense, it’s a part of their everyday life. Animals are mindful, let’s say their senses have a kind of magical or mystical quality to them. They don’t talk to each other, as far as we know, they use their intuition and their senses to communicate, they use them to communicate with their environment and the world around it. We also have this power within us and I believe we have simply forgotten how to use it. There are Shaolin monks that show unbelievable powers of mind and body, there are Indian mystics, shamans, village elders, the list goes on and on: humans pulling off unbelievable feats that seem basically unexplainable. So why, if we know that we have this ability don’t we try and use it for our own benefit? This is the question that bugs me the most. It’s not difficult to learn to take back this power, just by using basic meditation and mindfulness – that’s all it takes. I’m not saying we will all evolve to the next level of consciousness overnight, but hey, what I’m saying is by spending time on our minds we might just learn something new about ourselves. Everything in the universe is vibration, and I mean everything from the smallest atom to the biggest planet – it’s all a vibration. I’m not talking rubbish I’m talking science, I’m talking quantum physics. Me and you are connected by vibration and in turn we are all connected with everything through vibration, and I believe our senses are our transmitter for reading the signals shooting about around us by taking more notice of our senses as much as we take notes of our usual senses that we take for granted. I like to think that Mindfulness and meditation help us become more stable in the energy stream of the universe. If we are in a state of being aware of the energy around us, the eternal energy of the universe will talk to us trough our senses, and once we expand our awareness then the magic happens. Life and the world changes, we change, in fact, everything changes. Everything I talk about and everything I write about I believe to be true, 100%. They are the beliefs that I live my life by, we can all live the life we choose to live, we have the ability to ride the waves of the universal vibration, good or bad, I chose to live on the good vibration, and you can too.

Heal the World 

I spend a lot of time studying people; how they tick, their habits, wondering why they are like they are. I see people everyday who I know, without doubt, could do with Mindful-Attraction in their lives, but how do you tell someone that you think they may need help? I used to talk to people about Mindful-Attraction, but you can’t explain something to someone if they don’t really listen. The theory behind Mindful-Attraction isn’t rocket-science, it’s the simplest concept you could ask for: ‘we are what we think’. I don’t want to push any kind of different way of doing things unless someone actually says they want change in their lives and are looking for a miracle – but as I have found, people are happier to stay as they are if change is involved. I’m not saying Mindful-Attraction is miraculous, but what I am saying is that it can change our lives if we follow its basic principles. Mindful-Attraction has changed my life, truly it has, I’m not – and neither is my life – perfect and I still have a lot of learning and experience to gain, but it has given me more than I ever expected it to in such a short space of time. I want to talk to people who want change, who truly want change and not just talk about change. I have heard every excuse there is on why people can’t change, its very rare to meet people who have passion to change. And if Mindful-Attraction is to work then passion in what you want to achieve is just as important as the belief in it. We can all change, we can all adapt, we are humans and it’s how we have evolved to be the dominant species on the planet. It was all achieved through passion and belief that we could do it, so why have we as a race, lost our belief in our own achievement? I have a theory, but it’s long and boring so I’ll leave that for another day – what’s more important is how we can change it and I believe Mindful-Attraction can be not the answer, but at least a step forward in thinking. We all have questions; it’s time we started asking them and not always taking the first answer as the right one. By opening our minds and senses it’s surprising what we get to experience and achieve. Being willing to change our outlook, we can surprise ourselves with what we are capable of achieving. With dedication and direction there is no reason we can’t live lives on our terms, lives with happiness and fulfilment. The only thing stopping us is us.

Life as a Cat

This morning, I sat and just stared at my cat as he lay there sleeping after a hardy meal. I started to imagine what his life is like, how does he see the world? I know he’s a very independent being who likes his own way and isn’t afraid to show his disapproval of anything he dislikes, but he’s also very loving when he wants to be. He’s fed, watered, has a roof over his head and he comes and goes as he pleases, in fact, he’s very similar to my son. As life goes he’s got it pretty easy – the cat that is, not my son. No bills to pay, no responsibilities, and he gets to bring home birds whenever he wants. In all seriousness, I started to wonder if I wanted to live his life. Not that I want to bring birds home, no, no, I’m a happily taken thank you. What I mean is the freedom of living. It’s a question that really made me think. Yes, to live a life of total freedom sounds amazing, but let’s really think about it. Taking no responsibility for anything can have damaging effects on our psyche, it can take away our choices, our chance to learn, even our ability to love. Responsibility is what separates us from animals; as humans we have the responsibility to not only look after ourselves but each other. I know my cat doesn’t care about me, all he cares about is me feeding him. I know he visits other homes around me also to be fed, he has other options and I am under no illusion that he is affectionate with others – not just with me – and I’m ok with that because that’s the freedom of being a cat and that’s what he is: a cat. Who am I to judge? I wonder, is there a false illusion of freedom and what it can bring in the world? Has it lost its meaning? Freedom of living a free life shouldn’t be about freedom to do what we want, it should be about freedom of the soul. The only true way of being free is from within; when we find inner freedom and peace, everything else kind of falls into place – our appreciation of life, our ability to love and a belief in ourselves. I don’t think we as humans are ready for the kind of freedom that my cat has, not until we learn to appreciate the freedoms we already hold within us. Freedom is supposed to be about feeling free, and as humans we can’t agree to disagree on anything, we have to prove we are right about everything. We are sometimes more animal than animals, and maybe we as humans are not the species who have evolved, maybe it’s my cat and his fellow animals. Maybe they have evolved to the point of inner and outer freedom, maybe my cat does take responsibility; who am I to say who’s responsible and who’s not? Maybe, just maybe, we are the ones who are the primitive species in this universe and if so, its time we stared thinking instead of just acting.Not one of my usual blogs I’ll admit, but I thought it was one I had to write. When we are looking for answers we tend to look outwards for the questions, when we should be looking within. I truly believe that happiness comes from within and when we become comfortable with ourselves and let go of our insecurities and fears, that’s when we become totally free. Freedom isn’t about doing as we please; freedom is about having the ability to dream and then have the belief to live those dreams.

Old and the New

In order to start over we have to let go of our past beliefs: conflict between new and old can be one hell of a battle, with past beliefs being the strongest of the two. Changing can be hard work – that goes for most things that need change, and it takes time, effort and patience to do anything correctly. Our past beliefs have an upper hand over our new ones because they already know us, they know how we work, they have a direct line to our fears and doubts and call them up as soon as they see competition on the horizon. To get behind the new guy we need to play clever; if we truly want to change then we need to be willing to stay strong, be bold and take charge of conflicting situations between the old and the new. We need to show that the new is not a threat but an ally, that it’s not replacing, but upgrading an out of date view of life. We feel loyal to old beliefs because they have always been there for us, they know us and we know them, but they may not always be serving us well. We need to learn to adapt if we are to grow as humans. As children we take on the beliefs of our parents or guardians, at school we take on the beliefs of teachers and government bodies. As we get older we start taking on the beliefs of our social groups and the media, it never stops. When was the last time we stopped and analysed our beliefs? Seriously, when did you last stop and think whether your beliefs are something that may be holding you back and keeping you from achieving your goals? Do you believe in what you live your life by? I asked myself this question and if I’m totally, honest with you, I didn’t like my answer. I had no true beliefs of my own, they were all someone else’s. Life is all about experiences – good and bad – and it’s through our experiences that we should be building our beliefs and not our beliefs dictating our experiences.

Why Mindful-Attraction? Why combine mindfulness and the law of attraction? What a good question if I do say so myself, so I shall tell you. Having mindfulness in our lives has all its own benefits for self-improvement, and it’s commonly practiced around the world with astounding results. The Law of Attraction (as its commonly called) – if practiced with a mindful mind – can change not only how we look at the world, but also how we view ourselves. I don’t need to explain how they both work as I have done so many times in past blogs, all you need do is take a look. But what I will explain is why I teach them as one entity. I believe everyone has the right to live a happy life, a life of hope and prosperity, and I also believe that Mindful-Attraction can offer us this opportunity. Life can be hard, we have never been given a rule book on how to live it, some of us have learn how to deal with it and there are some that have found it a hard slog: I put myself in this category. I once believed that life was out to get me, that it was in control of me, that I was at its mercy, and I’m not ashamed to say it: I was wrong. I was wrong. Mindfulness gave me the courage and belief in my self, it taught me that life is not out to get me and that I was in control of my thoughts and not them in control of me. The law of attraction has given me an open door to my future, the law of attraction has given me a belief that I can – if I truly want something, I can achieve it. With hard work and vision anything is possible. I understand that what you have just read is hard to take in, but what have you got to lose in trying? Anything worth having never comes easily, we have to work hard at it if we are to be successful and the best thing we can work on is ourselves. The reason I teach Mindful-Attraction is because I want to share “It” with you. You deserve to know what you are capable of achieving. “It” is you and you are “It”, and if you need “it”, it’s always there for you. The only thing we need to do to learn, is to believe in “It”. I believe in you, you should too.

One to One

Group learning is great, it helps us realise that we are not alone, there are others out there who feel the same as us and we can share experiences and techniques with one another – helping each other, supporting each other in reaching our goals. Whereas one-to-one is a far more personal setting that offers an in-depth look at our past, our present and our future. Opening up to the reality of who we are and who we are capable of becoming. We are all looking for something different, we all have different needs and dreams and fears. In one-to-one everything we discuss is private and confidential, nothing will be discussed outside of a session. What you decide to disclose will be considered private and kept this way at all times. Mindful-attraction has the ability to change you, it -alongside a clear goal – can transform everything around you for the good. I don’t believe in failure, I believe that we learn, I believe that life is about responsibility and that when we open up to ourselves, then life will open up with us. If you are interested in working one-to-one, or have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time.

Imagine 

Imagine that you woke up tomorrow morning and you find out that everything you wish for had come true. You are Bruce Almighty. Imagine it, and consider – what would you do? Remember that everything you wish for has consequences, so if you wish for world peace it could cause an economic effect in many countries. The same goes for solving hunger. We would have to start off carefully with kid gloves; it’s a big responsibility to have the power of creation in the palm of your hands, but with this power you could have the life of your dreams. So how about for safety reasons we say that as a beginner we have to kind of earn the respect of the power, by showing it that we are prepared. The choices we make can be made with a clear and decisive mind, without prejudice and with an honest soul.Believing that you now have this power what do you do?How do you start? What do you wish for?

Interesting isn’t it, having that kind of opportunity laid in front of you? Every choice you now make has consequences – good and bad – that could affect the world around you. Would you be willing to make sacrifices, take responsibility, become a better you to hold this power? Would you take it seriously enough and give it the time it takes to learn how to use it with skill?
Well, imagine again that I tell you that you hold that power already…you, yes you. Hear me out, I’m being serious for once. I can’t think of a better way of explaining The Law of Attraction than how I just did. The life we lead is determined by the choices we make, this is a true fact whether we want to believe it or not and it works whether you believe in it or not. But by taking responsibility for our actions and choices we can shape a future of amazing possibilities. The proof is out there, I’m not going to rabbit on about it, I don’t need to – all you have to do is try it for yourself. Start off small and grow big – one thing at a time – and I promise I won’t say I told you so. You can stop imagining now, it’s time to start believing.

Does it take long

When we begin anything new we usually have the tendency to jump in head first and try and do as much as possible, wanting to see results straight away. Unfortunately, mindfulness is a process that takes time and has no quick fix or short cuts. We get the best results with mindfulness when we are mindful. Attention and experience are the only ways forward; being in a mindful state is a liberating experience and worth the time spent practising all aspects of it.
What we gain.

Sustainable attention 

Direct attention 

Opens us to new experiences 

Helps us accept 

Helps let go
Mindfulness has the ability – if given the opportunity – to give us a life under our terms and a life of choice. 

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and anything that’s worth doing is worth doing correctly: we only cheat ourselves by not doing so.

How

I am often asked if I really believe in the law of attraction; does it work? Isn’t it just another fad? And if it works, how?? The answer I always give is yes, it does work, I have witnessed it and use it myself, how it works I have no clue, I’m just happy it works for me. I believe in it 150%, without question or doubt. I’m not here to convince you, you have to take my word on it. Why and how are the usual responses I receive back and that’s expected – I suppose it’s the same response I gave when I first discovered the Law of Attraction. I thought that a concept so simple must have a catch to it, it can’t be true. But as I discovered through research and practice, it is true, it is real and it’s free to anyone who wants to use it. In fact, we have been using it since birth without even knowing about it. The difference now is that we know it’s there and that we have the ability to work alongside it and use it to improve our lives, to sculpt a life more fitting to what we have always dreamt about. I don’t expect you to take my word, why should you? I want you to go and do your own research – it’s all out there if you are willing to look and open your mind to something truly magical. The Law of Attraction is as real as you and me: it’s time to start believing in it like it believes in you.
