Say what?!

"Law of Speech -- There is power in the spoken word. Thought forms the blueprint for reality, and speaking power into the blueprint brings that thought into the physical world. To say something is to make it real."

My Cherokee mama used to tell me as a child, 'Saying makes it so.'
I'm sure she was hoping that those words might reign in some of my taunts, threats, & general grouchiness. But this is a very true statement.

WORDS HAVE POWER! See? Even putting them in upper-case increases their power.
Our body and mind 'listens' to everything we say. They do not edit or placate or ignore, every single word that we say.
They hear & 'act' on all our messages. (Just as the Universe acts upon our requests)

If we look into the mirror & say, 'I hate my fat butt', or 'I just can't lose weight', or 'who would like someone like me?' Your mind & body take those messages & run w/ them. You will keep that fat butt, not lose any weight, & continue to search for someone to like your sad self.. because those were your spoken words.
I know I have a bad habit of saying 'Poor so&so..'
Those words will keep that person 'poor', if only in my mind. And so I will make a concerted effort not to say that anymore.

This is where positive affirmations come into play. When we make statements that reinforce the things we want to see in our lives.. the mind/body connection links w/ Spirit, & we see them manifested!
Changing the above 3 self-talk statements to.. 'I have a shapely, toned & lovely butt', 'I am at my perfect weight of ___#', & 'I draw positive, loving people into my life'.
Repeating those words w/ conviction & desire.. & voila! they are yours.
Call it magic, call it nonsense, call it 'truth'.. it works.
The change begins in your thoughts.. is proclaimed by your words.. & will manifest in your life.

Try this exercise. Write down a positive affirmation that is personal to you alone, 15 times each evening. Let it be the last thing you say before you go to sleep. After a couple of weeks, see what that thought & spoken word has produced in your life.
The author of the comic strip Dilbert, did this exercise.. asking for a best selling book. And it happened.
You can make it happen too!
Because 'saying makes it so'.

CALGON, TAKE ME AWAY

Law of Release -- You are bound to that which you do not release. Release that which is holding you down. Release it to the higher power to be released in minute, benign particles disseminating into the infinite universe.

The Universe is always teaching, and we are always learning. It's a constant. As I was writing this fabulous blog yesterday I lost it all. I got to the end of it, very proud of it if I may say so myself, and POOF! Gone. Like an episode of Dallas...it never happened. I was so livid...I knew the Universe was showing me something, pointing at the obvious, allowing me an opportunity to release it all. Oh our higher power has a wicked sense of humor. :-)
Yesterday I wrote that this was the perfect law for me to be writing about. We hired a fence man to put in a fence because our dogs have been inside for 2 years. (Count them, over 700 days of me accompanying them outside numerous times a day, screaming at them to get inside or they wouldn't get a treat, freezing in the winters, sweating in the summers, you get the point.) We are incredibly thrilled we had the money to finally put in a fence. So my husband gets quotes and goes with this contractor we know nothing about, trying to give him some business, knowing its not easy competing against the big companies. So there you have it, and here there is no fence. We paid half and we are still waiting. Now normally I would lose it. I would be very upset and suffer much stress. Then a voice said...wait for it. Let me work. So I said, okay.
At some point we have to release it to the Universe. When its time for me to act, I will. But I will not get in my own way or spirit's. When we release, we release our tie to suffering and pain. We let go, and let God. It is a power beyond comprehension, it is the concept of faith...simple and profound. I will not invite doubt into my mind and I will live knowing I am cared for and supported. I only go to places where I will learn.
I will wait for it.

The Law of Reflection.. whatcha see?

Law of Reflection -- "As above, so below." The universe will reflect back that which shines forth into it.

~~~~~

Remember the old adage, 'I'll believe it when I see it?' Well, the new rules say 'You'll see it when you believe it'

What are you reflecting back into the Universe?

Is it the positivity of knowing that everything is working together for good?

Or might the negativity of your thoughts be reflecting on everything in your life?

We know that everything we 'feel' about people, places, things.. are all perceptions. Our very own.

It's the classic old 1/2 empty, 1/2 full scenario.



Consider 2 people who go to see the same movie. For one it was an eye-opening earth-shaking event. For the other it was an insufferably long and miserable saga.

How could 2 opinions be so different when they're witnessing the same film?

Perception, clear & simple.

Neither one of them is wrong in their feelings.. they're just reflecting differently.

Perhaps movie-goer # 1 was riding the excitement of an excellent day.. she'd gotten praise at work, she was w/ her true love, her puppy learned a new trick.

Movie-goer #2 was reflecting an awful day.. she had a flat tire on the way to work, she'd just broken up w/ her true love, & her puppy got hit by a car.

Same movie.. a whole different internal diary going on.



When we purposely choose to reflect the 'good' in our lives, releasing the negative and not allowing those perceptions to fill up valuable space in our minds.. we are on the verge of knowledge that all good things are constantly coming to us.
Because it's all good.
Even the lessons learned & personal growth spurts gained from things we might have labeled 'unfortunate'.

Allow the Universe to reflect love, joy & understanding back into your heart & mind today.

And the reflections will be bouncing off everyone who enters into your life.. very cool.
