The Power Of Thought

Your thoughts have the power to directly affect you and each aspect of your life. Your thoughts are the vital tools you use to create and shape the reality that you experience. Your thoughts are totally responsible for the creation of your emotional state on all levels, affecting your body, health and your daily living, influencing your responses to all your relationships, your life and in determining your choices.

Your thoughts have the power to enable reality on all levels of realities. At times however, this “reality” (let’s be honest here and call it what it is, your ego) will try to tell you otherwise. Your ego will have you believing that your fate lies outside of you. In other people’s hands, for instance, or to things that appear to be beyond your control. That is when you start to lose the power each of us has, which is the power and capability to create our reality.

When you “lose” this power, you then make it easier for others to change and manipulate your own world into that which they want it to be, instead of you transforming it yourself into what you really want it to be. Keep in mind that you and only you have that right and that power to make your own world and reality.

Whether you are creating or re-creating your own reality, maintaining a positive and healthy attitude is a major prerequisite. You have to remember that every success comes from your own capability to attract the positive energy that is available to us all. You have to recognize that you intentionally create every event that you live through for your enlightenment.

While you have been deceived by your ego self and appearances, the illusion constantly builds up like prison walls because you were not successful in bringing in the life force energy of happiness and positivity. You must concentrate on those things that guarantee a positive outlook and the concept of success.  The reason for this is simple yet very powerful. Being inside of and controlled by negative energy, it grows and brings in only negative energy.

Remember, Energy always flows to us. If we express negativity, then negative energy will stream to us, just like gasoline set on fire. The fire is attracted to the gasoline as a fuel source until the fire consumes everything and dies out. It cannot live without something assisting in its creation. The fire will wipe out everything in its path provided that there is still energy feeding it.  The moment that the fires fuel is gone, then the fire will, by the laws of nature, extinguish itself.

This is the exact same law that exists in every person’s thoughts and feelings. The energy you produce will feed on the same equivalent energy that is in existence within that certain thought.  Negative thoughts always feed on negative energy, and likewise in the same manner, positive thoughts always attract and feed on positive energy.

The more negative thoughts and feelings that you have, the more you’ll create negative energy all around you. This negative energy in time will literally build up so incredibly around your life that it can become almost impossible to achieve anything even remotely like a positive thought or feeling.

This explains why negative individuals have negative incidents happen to them.  Left unchecked, this negative energy goes on haunting certain individuals for years to such an extent that these people feel like they were born unlucky or that they are probably cursed. In point of fact, they created this negative energy solely by their thought patterns and have allowed it to accumulate to such an intense degree. 

Fortunately, you have the power to rewrite your reality. You have the ability to eliminate this negative energy that you have brought in. You can remove it with positive and inspiring thoughts, all the time, every time.  Continuously doing so will extinguish the negative fire burning within you. 

Here are a few simple ways that you can use to rewrite your thoughts and your reality:

1.  You must change your beliefs and your attitude concerning your current reality. Start by shifting your attention and focus in the direction that you believe will bring you more peace and happiness. Reverse negative thoughts into positive ones. Whenever a negative thought enters your mind, as soon as you can, recognize it for what it is, forgive yourself for having the “negative thought”, let it go and counter it with a positive thought.  Forgiveness is a huge step in the process of letting go of negativity. Remember, you are in the current position/situation, because of your past thoughts and feelings. Change to positive thought and feeling and your new reality will change to match the new energy.

2.  In your mind’s eye, create an image of what the new and positive reality that you want to achieve looks like and focus on it constantly. Make the image as real in your mind as you can make it. Add color and textures. Add sound and feeling to it. Surround it with as many positive “source images” as you can. A “source image” is an image that you already have an experience of, whether positive or negative. Bring in one (or more than one) that brought you peace and positivity and joy. When you need to decide on a certain aspect or situation in your life, refer to that image, to help you with your decision-making. 

3. Begin to heal all of your old negative thoughts. Take a look inside yourself and determine what needs to be worked on and how you want to work on it. Remember to keep focusing on the positive reality that you want to create and never be afraid to take the steps towards it.  Remember, negativity is fear. All fear is simply a fear of loss, so look at what you thought you were losing that made you afraid. Realize that you have lost nothing really, and that you can regain anything you “thought” you lost by changing how you think about it.

If you want to succeed in every circumstance in your life, it means that you must use the power of your thoughts to create the reality that you want. Bring your attention to a sharp focus on the thoughts, images and feelings that you want to project and achieve. Now, combined with the passionate, positive feeling you’ve nourished deep inside you, your thoughts will be able to bring to you all that you truly desire.

Brightest Blessings!


The Power To Change Is In Your Hands

Most people stop themselves from accomplishing and achieving what they would really like and want to do in life mainly because they do not have the belief in themselves that they can make the changes necessary. Typically, these are the people that say words like “I can’t” and “if only”. It is not often that they realize that they are the ones that have the power within themselves to achieve anything they desire, if they are only willing to change themselves.

Typically, people think that change is completely beyond their control and so they feel totally powerless to do anything that can change the situation they find themselves in. However by changing ourselves and our outlook on life, we then begin to take charge of our lives and make the changes needed. By changing how you think and feel about yourself and your circumstances, you give yourself the power to change your life to the one you want. One where everything is possible and is within easy reach. Here are a couple of simple methods to get you started in making the changes you want.

What is it that you want from life?

The very first step to changing your life is to decide what it is exactly that you want to change in yourself and/or your life. Is there some particular aspect in your life that you want to change? Is there something about you as a person you feel needs changing? You need to write down specifically what it is that you wish to change, making as complete a list of everything that you aren’t happy about as possible, and the changes you believe you need to make.

Get out a legal size sheet of paper, and make two headlines at the top. Mark the first one on the upper left as “Things I want to change” and mark the second one on the upper right as “How I will change them” Now, you can number down the left hand side if you wish, and list out first, all the things in you and your life you want to change. Be completely honest and as specific as possible. Once you’ve listed those out, go back to the top and start on the right hand column and list how you are going to make the changes for each one. Again, be specific and honest.

If you want to actually make these changes, you have to come from as open a place inside yourself as possible. Self delusion, or hiding what is real will only keep you from making the changes you want. The way we feel about ourselves and see ourselves, has everything to do with how we see life. If we are full of fear, self-doubt and lack of confidence, this shows in how we present ourselves to the world and to our own selves.

Change your mind, change your life

Self-doubt will get you down really quickly, so one of the first steps you’ll need to do to accomplish taking your life back into your own hands is to change your basic outlook.
You need to realize that it is you and only you that has the power to change and the secret to this is freeing your mind and body from fear and doubts so that you can start to move forward and begin making the changes you want. Allowing yourself to have a more positive attitude will help you to be able to change the way you feel and react to any situation.

More importantly, it will help you with what you are able to achieve. You will be able to do this because with a different attitude towards life in general, you will see things differently and you’ll experience them differently, with more confidence and self-assuredness. Also, others around you will be more responsive to you and your needs and they will appreciate how you are better able to handle situations. This in turn will give you even more self confidence.

Of necessity, the changes you make should be small at first, as you don’t want to add the stress of trying to accomplish huge changes on the hurry up. Soon though, you will begin to realize that the changes are happening and that it is you that is making them happen. You’ll realize that you don’t have to rely on anyone else.

Along with these positive changes, you will feel better, have more self-esteem, confidence, be more enthusiastic and be more self-motivated. Whenever I finish with a healing client, I have them look in the mirror so that they can see immediately how they look better than they did before, both physically and energetically. Recognize the positive changes you are making and celebrate them! Validate yourself for every step you take. This positive re-enforcement goes a long way to helping you make even bigger changes, and making them quicker.

Taking and accepting responsibility

Taking full responsibility for your life is a magical thing. It can immediately remove the idea of “blame”. By accepting total responsibility and realizing that you alone hold the power to make the changes you want, you will bring incredible self-satisfaction to yourself. Remember, “responsibility” is simply being “able to respond” So, when you take a deep and totally truthful look at your life, you will easily see that you and you alone made the decisions that brought you to where you are.

Sure, other people and situations influenced your decisions, but ultimately, you are the one who agreed to them. By not “blaming” anything or anyone outside of yourself, you really are free to make even better decisions. The idea here is not to blame yourself either. The idea is to accept the way you dealt with whatever came along, forgive yourself if it didn’t turn out like you wanted it to and to move forward toward better choices, and to acknowledge yourself if the changes and decisions you make work out for you.

Too often, people are very quick to judge themselves harshly when things go awry, but rarely allow themselves to feel good for things that turn out the way they wanted or needed. By taking responsibility for your life, you can say honestly and completely, “I did that” whether it was “good ” or “not so good”. This will give you a freedom that most people will never experience.

Here are a few quick tips to help you make changes in your life:

  • Find a self-help course to attend.

    Most people will need a guiding hand to get them going when they first start out to make the changes they want in their life. There is absolutely nothing wrong with seeking out help at this time, and one of the best ways to do that is to attend a workshop or course that can help you get the advice and support you need so that you can take control in a safe environment.


  • Read self-help books and/or watch DVD’s..

    If you are unable to attend a class or workshop, then getting motivational DVD’s and self-help books is the next best thing to being there. While you won’t have the interaction, you can still find plenty of inspiration to get you going on the right path.


  • Clean up your space.

    Clutter in the environment leads to clutter in the mind. One of the best ways to prepare for the changes you want to make, is to change the energy of the space where you live. Get rid of the old energy by doing a thorough cleaning and by removing objects that either are no longer useful, or invoke negative feelings. Recycle old clothing and let go of anything that distracts you from what you want to accomplish. Read up on Feng Shui, or if there’s one in your area, hire a consultant to come in and help you re-set the energy of your home. This one tip goes a very long way to getting you into the right mind set to create a better you.


    Finally, remember to love yourself and to be your own best friend. If you don’t like and love yourself, how can anyone else? By treating yourself with love, forgiveness and respect, others will treat you that way as well.

    Deep Peace and Brightest Blessings!
