The Journey IS the Destination!

tourist-destination

I heard this on one of the Abraham Hicks videos. Finally I realise how true this statement really is!

As human beings we always seem to be looking into the future for what we want, what we haven’t got or looking into the past to what we wanted but haven’t achieved/received. This is what keeps us stuck in perpetual unhappiness. We think ‘if I only I had this or that in my life, things would be better’. But I’m realizing that’s not the way to enjoy your life. It’s focusing on being in the present moment! That is what makes for a happy life.

But it’s not always easy to focus on being present. In fact I think it’s one of the hardest things to do consistently, at every moment throughout the day. How many times have you said to yourself, “ok now I am going to focus on the present moment”. So you become aware of what’s going on around you, someone speaking to you, the person walking past you with a worried look in their face, deep in thought, the child holding their parents hand as they cross the street to the playground, the workman knocking off work after a full day on a building site. I don’t know about you, but for me when I try to focus intently on the present moment, within minutes/seconds of doing this, I have drifted off into deep thought land again!

I also think when you focus on being in the present moment a feeling of ease and peace happens within you. I think in that moment you have total acceptance of what it is you are really seeing or witnessing. Your mind stops chatting to you about all the things you should or shouldn’t be doing.  There is a stillness, calmness and time seems to stand still. I also think that is when expansion of yourself happens. It’s where you really connect with and become One with the Source within. Source witnessing and experiencing life through your eyes.

That is when I believe you realize that your Journey is the Destination. The Destination being the experiencing of the Present Moment.

What do you think? I would love to hear your views. After all, it’s the wonderful contrast in our lives that makes for such diverse and interesting views. Having contrast in our views and lives is what helps with the evolution of  the human race.

 

WordPress a Great Tool for Reflection and Observation

BeautifulReflectionPhotography_009

When I look over the dates of my previous blogs, I notice that I am writing about once a month. I always feel like I am neglecting WordPress, when Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest etc are so instantaneous. But what I find interesting is that every-time I write a post on WordPress I feel so much better! It is a wonderful tool for reviewing what has been happening in my life, to monitor where I am at and where I am going. So here’s a reflection of what’s been happening over the past month, particularly to do with the Law of Attraction.

Ever since I started working on the Law of Attraction and learning to focus on what I do want, everything that I don’t want is coming to the surface!

I have certainly learnt a lot over the past few weeks about mind control. With Law of Attraction you need to ignore all the negative things happening and focus on the positive. It teaches you to become aware of the problems you are facing, but not give any energy or emotion to them. It doesn’t mean you can ignore the problem, because when issues come up you have to deal with them, but it is about training your mind to be neutral about the situation. Positive feelings are ok, like appreciating a tough situation for showing you what you need to learn, but applying negative emotion will keep you stuck in the problem. Also it will keep coming up until you learn to focus on it in a positive way.

I also think humor is a good way to distract you from the negative. I have been watching lots of funny videos to make me laugh and enjoy myself.

Happy learnings everyone!

Focus on the Beauty-New Year’s Resolution

I woke up this morning feeling sad and depressed. Not really a good way to be going into a New Year. I realize that I keep focusing on all the things that are not going right in my life. This is just a tad frustrating!! I know it keeps me stuck where I am, with the same old issues showing up.

So I asked the Universe to show me why I keep having these ‘Groundhog Day’ moments. The answer I got was so simple, but so profound.

‘Focus on the Beauty in your Life’ . Ahhhh that makes perfect sense!

So that is exactly what I am going to do to start this New Wonderful Year of 2013!

I am going to start dedicating this blog to all the beauty in my life :-) Whenever I see, experience, hear, feel something that is beautiful, I’m going to post it here.

Here’s the first bit of beauty from 2012, that will carry me into 2013.

Happy New Year Everyone! May it be Beautiful for You Too :-) .

Appreciation vs Gratitude

The penny finally dropped this week when I realized that once you start to Appreciate what you already have in your life, more good starts to flow into your existence!!

I’ve also learned from the Law of Attraction that Gratitude is different from Appreciation. I thought they were one and the same. But according to Abraham they are different.

Apparently Gratitude implies you have overcome a difficult situation. Seeing things from this perspective means that you are still focusing on the problem and not the solution.

Appreciation, however, is being happy with where you are at, regardless of the situation. It’s about seeing all of your experiences as a blessing, both the good and the bad.

Apparently once you Master this, then you are seeing through the eyes of Source or Unconditional Love.

So I have had to correct myself all week to stop from saying “I am Grateful for …..”, to “I Appreciate…..”. I must say it makes a huge difference to your psyche. It’s almost like a relief to focus on life this way. I have also felt a lot happier putting this into practice.

Here are some things I have been appreciating:

My brilliant, beautiful, kind and loving family,

My house,

The food we eat,

My car,

The blue sky and warm weather (we live in the tropics)

The amazing flowers I have seen when I walk the dogs

Our dogs

The kind, helpful people I have encountered this week

You wonderful people who read my Blog, Tweets, Facebook and Link-in posts!

WordPress, Google, You Tube, Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In!

My Apple iPhone, iPad and iMac!

So that’s what I have experienced. Let me know if you try out  ’being Appreciative vs being Grateful. I’d be interested to know what you experience too!

Love Dimitie xx

P.S. I’m now also going to be dedicating this blog and all my other social media avenues to ‘Appreciation of this Amazing Life’ and see what happens ;-)

 

Manifesting What You Want!

There is a technique that I use when I want something to come into my life. I been using this technique quite a bit lately to help other people get what they want. I thought it might be helpful to post it here for you to use.

As I’ve mentioned life presents us with choices everyday. The Universe will ask you: Do you want this? If it is something you do want then that’s great! If it isn’t, then that is the moment when you get to choose what you do want. Here’s an example I always use with my kids.

My children love to eat sugary foods!

The Universe asks me “Is this what you want for your kids?”

“No I definitely don’t want my kids eating sugary foods all the time”, I reply.

The Universe asks: “What do you want then?”

“I want them to eat a healthy balanced diet.”

But in order to do this effectively I have a statement that I always use so that my subconscious believes it’s true. I say:

“I Already Have This in My life Now.”

Then I imagine it has already happened and they are eating a healthy balanced diet. The more I focus on this the more likely it is to happen. (It really is that simple, but we tend to put lots of obstacles in the way, that often cause the delay in achieving what we want. It also depends on how complex your beliefs systems are around what you want).

If it is not showing up, then I look at my negative belief systems and ask why is this not happening? It could be that I am focusing on negative (that they are eating the sugary sweets). If this is the case then it won’t come into my life, because I don’t believe it’s possible to change it.

Instead, I need to focus on the Positive and believe that it will happen! Once you see the Positive coming into play (even if it’s a small sign), focus on that and keep focusing on that until it grows bigger and bigger. Celebrate the fact that it has showed up. The more you shine a spotlight on the Positive, the more it will happen.

For years I have been wanting my daughter to try an Egg. (It seems like such a simple thing for most people, but in our household that’s a momentous occasion! ;-) ) Then one day after I had been doing this wonderful technique, she said to me “Mum I would like to try an Egg.” I nearly fell over I was that shocked and excited! I even took a video of it on my phone to remind myself of the event! :-) . So I can assure you it really does work!!

 If you need any help with doing this or putting it into practice, just let me know.

We are all Masters of Our Own Lives. We just have to realize it and then it will happen. Happy Manifesting! :-)

Love Dimitie xx

Are Your Thoughts Focused on Lack or Abundance?

There have been quite a lot of instances lately where I’ve noticed that what people are thinking is focused on lack. For example “I can’t afford it, it’s too expensive, please can you lend me some money? etc. I often hear myself saying these things too! It’s a world wide pattern I think. As I was pondering about this situation a thought popped into my head (again! I know!). Wouldn’t it be wonderful if people all over the world knew that they could have anything they wanted, if they were shown how to change their thinking from the negative to the positive?  Read More

I Don’t Know How!? ##****!

A few mornings ago I was focusing on all the problems in my life. Quite the opposite of what you are meant to be doing regarding the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction says that if you focus on the problem, it will create more of that problem. The key is be aware of the problem, but not give any energy to it. When there is a problem in your life it is a chance for you to realize that it’s not what you want and then search for what you do want.  Read More

A Mosquito Buzzed In My Ear!

Yesterday I asked the universe for a sign on how to deal with a few issues that keep re-occurring in my life. But I wasn’t expecting a mosquito to fly into my ear whilst I was in a deep sleep!

It gave me such a fright. The realization that you have a mosquito in your ear can be quite a shock. Luckily it flew out as I frantically jiggled my ear and shouted. (I’m surprised I didn’t wake anyone up in my family. They would have rushed in concerned that I was being attacked or something from loud yell I let out. Then I would have had to explain it was just a mosquito that flew into my ear!).

Obviously I wasn’t really paying attention to the signs that must have been popping up yesterday, so the only way to get my attention? Have a mosquito buzz in your ear! Lol!

But the message I received was crystal clear.  Read More

An Angry Heart

Yesterday, I was standing in the check out queue at the supermarket (as I often do). While I am waiting I like to observe what is going on around me.

I noticed this beautifully dressed, obviously wealthy woman at another counter. At first it was how she was dressed that caught my attention. She was wearing a lovely fashionable orange coloured dress, expensive bag and shoes. But as I looked at her face and body language I realized she was angry. As I watched her interact with the people at the counter and who she was with, I could see there was no reason for her to be angry. She wasn’t complaining to the shop assistant about anything, she was just angry. Her whole energy and Aura was one of anger.  Read More
