10 Ways to Attract Positive Energy!

Here are 10 Ways to Attract Positive Energy into your life, while boosting your immune system, curing dis-ease, and counter-balancing daily stress:

1.  Love and accept yourself as you are right now.  Start a list to remind yourself of all your wonderful qualities.  Add to it every day.

E.g.,  I am the most positive person I know.

2.  Free yourself from past resentments and disappointments about who you were yesterday.  Stop engaging in self-blame and guilt for past acts and omissions.  Today is the first day of the rest of your life.  Revel in it.

As Scrooge announced on Christmas morn, "I am not the man I was!"

3.  Let go of any and all resentment you're hanging onto about everyone and everything else.  Stop looking for reasons to criticize and blame others for their acts and omissions.  Let go of your desire to control others.

The past is gone.  It is what it is, and cannot be changed.  Let it go. 

4.  Stop giving your power away.  Use your time, energy, and vitality wisely.  Every time you choose to focus on a negative, you are depleting your reserves rather than re-charging your batteries.

Focus on circulating and re-circulating positive, life-affirming ideas. 

5.  Use creative visualization and your imagination to your advantage, not your detriment.  Instead of picturing worst case scenarios, see things as you want them to be.  Visualize yourself doing things in a state of perfect health.

Visualize ideal outcomes and happy endings, not dire consequences.

 6.  Do not speak of your illness, or dis-ease with others.  The more attention you place on what you don't want in your life, the more energy it absorbs.   Remove your attention from your dis-ease.  Put your focus and attention on the things in your life that make you feel good.

Starve your illness and dis-ease by refusing to dwell on them.

7.  Love is the antidote to fear.  If you appreciate the many blessings in your life, and express gratitude for anything and everything, you begin to flow in  a healing bath (rather than languishing in toxins).  Develop an attitude of gratitude by making a list of all the things you are grateful for, including  increased health and vitality.

Be grateful for the health and well-being coming your way.

8.  Recognize that you have the power to heal yourself.  That healing power flows from the thoughts you think.  Allow positive thoughts to circulate, eliminating stress and boosting your immune system.

There is no such thing as incurable.  Miracles abound.

9.  Be happy.  Appreciate this moment.  Resist nothing.  Love yourself and others.  Be  grateful for small blessings.  Make happiness your number one  priority.  When you remain positive, you summon well-being, and vanquish  illness and dis-ease.

When we exist in a state of happiness, we boost our immune systems and allow our bodies to use energy reserves for healing.  

10.  Laugh!  Laugh again!  Watch funny movies and recall memories that make you laugh.  Once you access the joy within, let it expand to fill your entire being, crowding out illness and dis-ease.

Various Methods of being Grateful

1. Gratitude Journal: Write daily 10 things to be grateful and feel that gratitude.

2. Picture: These days most of us have mobile camera. Take a snap of every moment or thing you are grateful for. If you are an artist, you can draw, or paint them.

5. Optimism for every condition: Seeing the bright side of every condition of your life. There is always something to be grateful for.

6. Dance: Have you seen the movie "The Proposal" where the Granny use to dance with her music player in Jungle. She dance with her music to pay her gratitude to God for everything in her Life.

7. Music: Listen your favorite music and Enjoy. While listening the music, you are paying your gratitude to your Mind-Body-Soul. Whatever we feel from inside, we manifest outside.

8. Gratitude Meditation. Meditation is the conscious sleeping. Calm your mind and feel your breath and heartbeat in the silence. Our Heart is the portal to connect the supreme consciousness. We all are connected by the portal of Heart Chakra. By paying gratitude to our heart, we can be grateful to everyone.

9. Walking Gratitude: As the Spiritual Teacher and Monk Thich Nhat Hanh has said, "Walk as you are kissing the earth." With every footsteps you can say Thank You.
You can walk 100 thankful footsteps daily, it hardly takes only two minutes.
There was an ad commercial of Idea Mobile with Tagline "Walk and Talk. Walk when you Talk you will be healthy."
You can change it as "Walk and Thank You" or "Thank You Steps". Say Thank You in mind while walking and you will be blessed.

10. Live in Now: STOP for a moment, LOOK around you and FEEL you have everything NOW you need for your life. The only time you always have is Now and God has given you everything you need Now. Live in NOW.

11. Faith: Give Thanks to Unknown blessings coming in your way which will be seen in your future. As per quantum physics, we are created and destroyed every second, even a single gratitude can change your life instantly.

12. Mirror: Go in front of mirror and say Thank You, say I Love You to the person standing in mirror. Everything in your life is the reflection of your thoughts-words-actions ie MANSA WACHA KARMANA. You are that (where That means whatever you want to have or become) TAT TVAM ASI. Be Grateful to Yourself. Love Thyself. Know Thyself.

13: Chanting: Someone asked a question "how to change the life from today itself" to Moozi, spiritual saint. Moozi replied: I have a mantra, I will give it to you, use it again and again. No reasons, No explanations, Just use it. That mantra is Thank You.
Life was never a punisher, life is a teacher. Life is always corrective, so be grateful for that. Thank You.

14. Appreciation: See the good aspects of everyone around you from all walks of life, for every person. Every person wants to be appreciated. When you appreciate them, they give you more reasons for their appreciation. Keep Appreciating.

15. Smile: (S)ee (M)iracles (I)n (L)ife (E)veryday/(E)verytime/(E)verywhere ! Smile ! We smile naturally when we see any beauty. You can see the beauty in everything and SMILE Forever. Seeing the beauty in everyone is like seeing the divine inside. You become the divine by seeing everything as divine, as the gift by God.

Whatever you give in your gratitude merges with the supreme consciousness and reflects back more blessings to be grateful more.
THANK YOU.
