More About the Power of Thought

Quote from Abraham, via Esther Hicks:



"If you believe that you must work hard in order to deserve the money (or relationship, my words) that comes to you then money (or love, my words) can not come to you unless you do work hard. Financial success, or any other kind of success, does not require hard work. It does require alignment of thought. You simply can not offer negative thought about things that you desire and then make up for it with hard work. When you learn to direct your thoughts, you will discover the true leverage of Energy alignment."



Well,well, well. At last! Talk about hugely important information, learning and opportunity for growth ".....success, does not require hard work." You could just as truly say, "A loving relationship does not require hard work ." What it does require is intentionality and mindfulness and a loving and positive focus. It actually is far easier to say,"I love you," than "I hate/dislike/am annoyed with you." The reason it is easier is because, "I love you," will get your partner's positive attention. May get you a smile, eye contact, hope for a hug. "I don't like you," is bound to get a scowl, frown, possibly a groan, and absolutely a feeling of being pushed away, hopefully not literally. Why would anyone come close to someone who is saying, "You annoy me,"? I would shut down and go away and I strongly believe you would as well.



It is exciting to discover how easy life really is. All you really have to do, to have everything you want, is to be very intentional about thinking positive thoughts and saying everything you have to say with a positive rather than a negative slant. Saying, "I love it when you hug me," will get you so much further than, "I hate it when you ignore me." Preparing a favorite meal is far more likely to get a smile and sometimes a thank you, then refusing to cook at all or not being thoughtful about your partner's preferances.



Most of all however, everything is about YOU. ME, ME, ME. It actually is all about yourself. Because you will feel happier, lighter, more confident, if you smile, say yes rather than no, agree rather than disagree, and touch gently rather than hit, those around you will feel better as well. You change, everything changes. What is inside each of us, gets expressed outwardly. What we outwardly express gets taken in and absorbed: good or bad, hard or soft, negative or positive.

You Get What You Think

You get what you think.

Interesting, isn't it? True and scary. Every time, over the years, that I have tried to get out of doing something by saying, "I'm sick," strangly enough, I have gotten sick. What's that about? When I find myself thinking I have an expecially full week and wondering how I am going to make it through, I begin to get cancellations. I have friends who leave the house imaging a parking space right where they want it to be. And it is! I leave the house knowing I will find a parking space----somewhere!---- but not in the least certain where that might be. I do always find a place to park. I also often walk several blocks to get where I wanted to go.

Think about it: what happens when you spend a large part of your day grumbling and grouching about what your partner doesn't to to help? Does he/she come home at the end of the day and dive right into straighening the house, doing the laundry, mowing the lawn, making fun plans for the family? Or does she/he take a shower, put on sweats, read the paper, and go to the internet.

Our mind is amazing. Long ago there was a very popular book called, "The Power of Positive Thinking". Equally true is the power of negative thinking. We can think anything into happening, or not happening.

My daughter had a job interview several thousand miles away from her boy friend and she didn't want the job. She didn't even want the interview. Her desire to not go was so powerful she was able to stop the plane from leaving. The weather was unusually terrible and they couldn't take off. A later plane made the interview impossible. I don't believe she stopped that flight all by herself. But I do believe she and some other powerfully minded people got their wish. She made herself ineligible for the unwanted job and others who intended to take that flight got their thoughts responded to as well, whatever it may have been they were thinking about.

Make your relationship the right and perfect one for you. Image it, think it, dream it, talk it, smile about it, bring positive energy and positive feelings into each moment.

Practice being different. Practice thinking 3 times a day about what your partner does that you like. It is easy and familiar to get caught into what needs to be changed, what we don't like, what annoys us, but we totally forget to SEE what is good and special about this person we once adored and with whom we have signed up for a life time together.

Think about it! Really think about it. If you think happy, you feel happy. If you think sad, or sick, or negative or scarcity or illness, that is bound to be what you will get. If you think not enough money, cancer is everywhere, life is tough, nothing good ever happens to me/us, that becomes the reality. If you think, I love my life, the sun is warm and friendly, the rain gives us good, healthy food, the car will look terrific when it gets a nice soapy bath, the kids are a hoot when they play ball in the yard, all that and better will be true.

Give 3 appreciations every day to your partner. Try thinking 3 happy, positive thoughts every morning when you get up. Let me know what happens.

Summer Time! And the Feeling is Easy!!

What a gorgeous day! What a marvellous summer so far. So interesting to me how 2 plus years of focus on my insides working or not working quite right, has left me with an exquisite awareness of the world outside my body. Now that I am so very well and healthy, I seem to be loving whatever mother nature has to offer.

This morning was a powerful thunder storm. Heavy rain. Feels like releasing, letting go, preparing to move forward. Then it cleared up and Aimee and I had a grand and glorious walk at our favorite park: a cemetery near by. Two memorial services were going on in the cemetery. I felt soft, sacred, sweet, caring and loving to walk past their energy. Peace mingled with sadness hung in the air. Aimee was so good. She just walked by and left them alone. Sometimes she feels it is her job to sooth and comfort and love the people who have gathered together to grieve and let go of their loved ones. Not today. I guess she felt everyone was doing their job just fine and she wasn't needed.

Remember how it feels to REALLY want something, to not want to be a bother or distruber, at the same time wanting to keep on top of things? That feeling of being sure you are still on the radar, but it probably is best not to bug too much!

Well, I feel all that right now. A few weeks ago I thought I was being offered the job of my dreams. I no longer know if they want me. I have tried to connect but it hasn't worked thus far. What I know I have to do is let go and trust. But instead I keep on hoping, wishing and thinking. I know the universe knows what it is doing. I know I am being taken care of and deeply loved. I learned that during my heart challenges. Now I need to remember to stay peacefully in the place of having put out my desire, and letting it come to me.

Yes! I desire. I wait. In hope and trust.

I will keep you posted. I will be sure to let you know when I have received my heart's desire.

Bye for now, Nancy

Out On A Limb, feel off for a bit and has Climbed Back On!

Not surprising to any of us at all, lots of life has happened since my Nov. 08 entry!!!! (: Good stuff actually.

I have had 2 years of significant challenges with my heart. Emergency rooms, ambulances, friends rushing and helping, hospitalizations, angels hovering and holding, cardioversions (3), ablation (1), rest, recovery, and back to work. Actually, back to life. I am on the other side of the whirlwind and grateful, delighted, energized, and deeply, deeply grateful to my wonderful partner Clo, my daughters Lisa and Michelle, dear friends, and Aimee, the dearest 4 year old puppy on the planet.

All during the astounding stress and rush toward life and fight against leaving this physical space before I felt certain I really wanted to go, I planned to come out on this side with health, hope, love, joy, peace, ------ and learning. I expected to have great insights and deep, spiritual, amazing, learnings. Weeellll------ I am ready! Here I am. Arms open, heart soft and receptive, ears tuned, mind willing, but, I truly do not know what those 2 years were all about. I want to say it taught me a lot. I suppose it did. But I will be darned if I can tell you what that "lot" is.

I am aware of new energy, hope, and readiness to move into new professional territory. That's a fun thing. What can I welcome and create next that will be fun and new for me? I have put out my desire, and I wait quietly, peacefully and confidently to hear back. I will keep you posted. I am always glad to share new and exciting as it arrives and I begin to process it.

Not having written for so long, I find myself gropping around for what more to say. So, enough for now, more later. Thanks for being there for me to talk with. Even when I wasn't writting in the blog, I was writting in my head.

Warmly, Nancy Ross
