About Thoughts



This life is simple. But ain't made
Like you would say, of good and bad.
It's all about the way you want 
To see things... and that makes you daunt!
We will become the thing we think
about the most, and in a blink
We will attract all that we have
On our minds, how we behave
Will lead our lives, because what is
On the inside, just like a wiz
Will manifest outside as well
That is the Law, is not a spell!
If we can  see it in our mind
We sure can have it in our life
As long as we don't start to doubt
And worry, or let others flout
Our dreams and wishes - it is best
To keep it for ourselves, and rest
Assured that we are able to
Do what we want, we can get through!
The thoughts have frequencies, like all
The things - and that we call
Vibrating energy, which might
Attract the things that are alike!
If you may want to change some facts
Change frequency, and that attracts
The thing you think of, but be smart:
Don't say "I don't want"! that's the part
You have to pay attention to 
To always think what's good for you
Not what is bad and you don't want
Cause you will get way more of that!
Whatever you are thinking of
Creates your life, so think with love!

 It was a revelation to me, reading Rhonda Byrne's books and learning about the power of thoughts... It also got me kind of puzzled, because so far, I thought that when I wanted something to come out right I would have to image the worst... and it kind of worked for me at that time. But after I gave it some thought, I understood why it was workin for me. I knew that saying: "hope for the best, but expect the worst". And that is what I was applying. This is precisely what they mean with all this teaching about the vibrations of thoughts and all that. At the first sight, people would say "okay, if I imagine something and I want it really bad, it should happen to me. But why doesn't it????" Cause if you only do that, it most likely won't happen! Because the trick is to hope for the best, but to BE PREPARED for the worst! I mean, to be okay with whatever happens, to be at peace, to not be desperate about it happening! I found that concept somewhere else too, I think it was in Wayne Dyer's books, that as long as you WANT something but do not NEED it, you will get it! The worse thing you can do is to ATTACH yourself onto something, no matter what that would be. Cause then the chances are big for you to loose that thing or to not even get it, to start with! 
Even if I was imagining the worst outcome of a situation, or maybe even because of that, I was kind of getting myself used to the things not going the good way, so I was de-attaching myself of the good outcome, if that makes sense. But also, I would never say anything bad, everyone that knows me knows that I used to be the most positive person and always saying "this will work/ we'll make it/ I will have that" and so on. But by thinking that it actually may not happen, I wasn't getting desperate about a certain thing to happen, so basically I was hoping for the best but getting ready for the worst. And as I was at peace inside, the vibration was good, I guess, so I was getting the best! 
Now, as soon as certain people (won't mention who, as its irrelevant, is not even their fault) started to tell me that I am being unrealistic with all my positive talking and always looking so self-assured, everything changed! It made me stop talking only positive things and being confident, because I didn't want them to say that I am being unrealistic and all that stuff about me, so the good outcomes stopped showing :( I know I am the only one that is guilty for letting them do that to me, but I had no idea about all this vibration stuff so I thought they may be right. It killed all my magic! lol
Now, so you know, it does help to visualise good things happening, and good outcomes for your wishes and goals, but only if you are at peace with the fact that things may possibly not work out so good. Or, if we see it from the religious point of view, we should trust God completely, and not even doubt for a second that he will help us, even if the odds show that what we want might not happen. We have to be sure that in any case, God will do what is best for us, even if for the moment it seems bad. There is always something good in any apparently bad situation and sooner or later we may realise that. But that is hard to do, I know it, to just pray and be 100% sure it will happen. I, myself, can't do that (I am working on it, because,, obviously it does work), so for me, speaking positive and being calm and open to anything, and imagining the worse case, without getting scared or being desperate, does help. Seeing myself finding ways out of any bad situation that might arise, and being prepared, does help, not venting and speaking out loud words like "what if..". 
That's why they say that when you want something, yo uhave to concentrate on thinking positively, because if you say "I want a new car"... might bring you a new car, but if you say "I hate the car I own" will let you have the car you own for a very long time still! lol. The law of attraction doesn't read other words than the object of your thinking. The thing you are concentrating on, that is what you will attract, wether it is the good one or the bad one for you :) So either only think positive thoughts, either let the negative ones not get much attention, just let them be, and they will pass!
Peace!

The Present Is All We Have




The present moment's all we own
All that we need to us is shown
Right here, right now, it's all a gift
For us to find a way to shift
Our lives from future and from past
Back to the present, and at last
We'll find the peace we're craving for
'Cause now there is no need for war.
If we accept whatever is
And stay in peace and mind our biz
Miracles happen, and we'll be
Joyful and peaceful, 'cause, you see - 
When you don't let your ego-mind
Wander like crazy, get you blind
You start to see the real world
That is all made by our God
With purpose only, nothing's vain
Nothing's for nothing, but your brain,
When you don't order it to stop,
Will try to make you think it's crap!
You have to only use your mind
To help you do things that are kind
For you and for whoever else
Don't let it turn you to a mess!
So, breathe right now, deep, long and good
Just think of breathing, and you should
Feel how your mind is getting mute
Just meditate, get back to root
To present moment, to your soul
Feel peace inside you, you are whole
The way you are RIGHT NOW - no need
For nothing else, you are indeed
A miracle and God-like thing
You're made of energy, you sing
A perfect song, just don't destroy
Your holly spirit and your joy
With noise from ego, from the time
Past, future - nothing makes you rhyme
More than THIS moment, so just feel
Your inner energy, your thrill
In every little  thing you do
Breathe, feel your body, just feel YOU!
Each time you let your thinking drift
Away from here, the joy is missed!!

I think this is a fabulous thing, knowing about this "magic trick", as I like to call it. I am so thankful to Eckhart Tolle for that! I have been living a big part of my life being tormented by thinking... forward and backward, to present and to past, identifying myself with both. And that caused me so much suffering, because when you see yourself as being defined by the past experiences, automatically you get frightened by the future ones. The irony of this is that we can't control any of them! The past is dead and gone, the future is uncertain... so why do we bother? I think it's simply because we are crazy... 
When we concentrate on the present moment and only live in the present (of course, you can make a list of the "to do" things, set your alarms to go off when things need done, lol, otherwise you'll get in trouble...but just do not think of those things too much!). Trust God (who is in you, by the way, as in everything else) that will give you the best inspirations and the best "hints" as to what's to be done for your higher good. And He will, because He always does, only that you can't hear Him because of the horrible noise made by your mind, powered by the Ego. There is no heaven and no hell, the "heaven" that the Bible refers to is the peace inside you, and the "hell" is the torment and the suffering cause by the devil, who is your Ego. Jesus tried to make us see that in many of his teachings, only that people didn't manage to understand, especially because of their egos. The devil doesn't want us to feel good, does he! 
For a long time I had the wrong idea as to what "meditation" is.. I thought it was sitting and thinking long and hard about something. But hell, NO! Meditation is precisely thinking about NOTHING! Not thinking. Giving your mind a break, allowing it to get cleaned of the bad vibrations generated by it with so much thinking about present and future. The mind is a magnificent tool but we have to learn how to use it, and to learn how to not let ourselves be used by it. It's simple, if a thought makes you suffer, means you drifted either to the past, or to the future. Get back in the present. There are no problems right in THIS moment, are they? They only arise when we drift back or forth.
Here's a few techniques to help you stay in the present:
- become consciuos of your breathing, feel how the air is getting in and going out of your lungs, pay attention to this process for a few moments and your mind will calm down. It is recommended to do this as often as you can! (for me finding this out was vital as I was practically getting ill because every time I rush or am stressed, my breathing becomes very fast and shallow and it's like all the air gets stuck somewhere... )
Good breathing has a great power of healing and energy harmonising.
- another thing you can do is shift your attention every day, in any activity that you do or even when you are listening to someone, when you are watching something, to the sensations inside of your body, feel the energy in your hands, in your legs, in your chest, untill you manage to feel your whole inner body as pure energy
- allow every feeling to exist, don't deny any way that you may be feeling, just let the feelings be, try to be the conscious that is witnessing those feelings, because you, as conscience, are way way more than just a body, a mind, some feelings...
This is what meditation is about...of course, is best when you can be alone and do all this, and able to completely relax, but you can very well do it in your everyday life, and the more you practice it, the easier will be for you to do it, and you will see how everything will get so much more serene, at least :) I am at the "serene" stage, they say miracles will happen, but I can't tell you they will, as I didn't get too good at staying in the present moment all the time, so I am not there yet :) But I sure feel alot better than I used to, maybe even that is a miracle :)
Peace!
