More and more articles, books, and information are appearing from the field of quantum physics that support the growing awareness that everything we need to create and live the life we desire is truly within our hands (aka mind).

Dr Katie Garnett discusses findings in quantum physics that reveal the workings and seemingly magical powers of a trained mind.

It is one thing to read such information, but the real challenge is in applying what we learn.  And when it comes to the power of the mind, mental habits developed over many years are the only thing standing between us and the happiness and life we desire.

Part of the process is becoming aware of our habitual patterns of thinking and then actively endeavoring to replace “out-of-date programming” that is limiting, constrictive, and dis-empowering with new mental programs; new habits of thought and feeling that reflect our true nature, that allow us to shine brightly as the amazing, powerful beings that we truly are.

Whether we believe we can or whether we believe we can’t – it is the belief and expectation that attracts the matching reality – and thus “proof” of the belief.  As long as we continue to observe “current reality” and believe that it is “fact” that we must live with, we remain in a self created prison. Current reality is “old news”.  It is the result of previous thinking, previous focus and attention. As we learn to maintain our focus in new directions for longer periods of time, we then begin to see matching “proof” of our new beliefs and expectations.

What thoughts are you holding about your body? Your emotional health? Your relationships? Your finances?

“You may use the science of quantum physics to re-shape and re-create your life, or you may use the science of quantum physics inadvertently by thinking your same thoughts and receiving your same results.” Read more – Quantum Physics For Us All

Gregg Braden presents in a clear, powerful manner.  His discussion about the partnership between thoughts and feelings in the creative process is excellent. (Gregg Braden “Louise Hay Film” Interview 5 of 6.)

Some excerpts….

When thought and emotion combine, you can move mountains. This is a literal thing – not a metaphor!

Gregg asked a Shaman about his process for praying.

Shaman:  “Our prayer is about creating a feeling.”

In the West we have lost the texts that originally told us that feelings are a ‘language’.  Instead we began to  think that the words themselves were  the prayer. We learnt to say the  words.  But we were not taught to add  the vital ingredient – feeling.

In so doing, we lost our ability to really pray – and thus to change our reality in an elegant way. We came to rely upon a benign “Father figure” to look kindly upon our requests and pleas for help.

What is the force that holds the universe together?

“Compassion”, the Abbot answered.

Compassion is a feeling that we experience in our bodies.  So in effect, we have the ability to feel in our own bodies the stuff that holds this universe together!

I’ve just started in a commission-only sales role and was looking for some inspired thoughts to kick-start a positive forward momentum.

Here are two relevant excerpts I found from the book, Money and the Law of Attraction, by Esther & Jerry Hicks.

Excerpt 1 – Your Story, and the Law of Attraction

“Each and every component that makes up your life experience is drawn to you by the powerful Law of Attraction’s response to the thoughts you think and the story you tell about your life. Your money and financial assets; your body’s state of wellness, clarity, flexibility, size, and shape; your work environment, how you are treated, work satisfaction, and rewards—indeed, the very happiness of your life experience in general—is all happening because of the story that you tell. If you will let your dominant intention be to revise and improve the content of the story you tell every day of your life, it is our absolute promise to you that your life will become that ever-improving story. For by the powerful Law of Attraction, it must be!”

Excerpt 2 – The Consistency of the Law of Attraction

“When you feel overwhelmed, circumstances and people who could help you get out from under your feeling of overwhelment cannot find you, nor can you find them. Even when you try hard to find them, you cannot. And those people who do come do not help you, but, instead, they add to your feeling of overwhelment.

When you feel mistreated—fairness cannot find you. Your perception of your mistreatment, and the subsequent vibration that you offer because of your perception, prevents anything that you would consider to be fair from coming to you.

When you are buried in the disappointment or fear of not having the financial resources that you believe you need, the dollars—or the opportunities that would bring the dollars—continue to elude you . . . not because you are bad or unworthy, but because the Law of Attraction matches things that are like, not things that are unlike.

When you feel poor—only things that feel like poverty can come to you. When you feel prosperous—only things that feel like prosperity can come to you. This Law is consistent; and if you will pay attention, it will teach you, through life experience, how it works. When you remember that you get the essence of what you think about—and then you notice what you are getting—you have the keys for Deliberate Creation.”

Happiness and success are ‘inside jobs’.

You can learn how to take charge of your own happiness and success rather than relying on – or waiting for – external factors, people, or events to make you happy or make you feel successful.

Be Happy! by Robert Holden is an interesting new title related to an earlier blog topic – being happy.

His work on happiness and success has been featured on Oprah and in two major BBC-TV documentaries, The Happiness Formula and How to Be Happy,

The step-by-step process in this new title  includes:

• Follow Your Joy — stop chasing happiness and start enjoying your life as it happens.
• The Happiness Contract — undo mental and emotional blocks to happiness and success.
• The Receiving Meditation — increase your natural capacity for happiness and abundance.
• The Forgiveness Practice — give up all hopes for a better past and be happy now.
• The Gift of Happiness — use the power of happiness to bless your life and benefit others.

The book is available via Hay House publishers

I’ve just discovered a clearly written and practical self-help title on Amazon, When Am I Going to Be Happy? How to Break the Emotional Bad Habits That Make You Miserable – by Penelope Russianoff

Although published in 1997 – it could just as well have been written today.

I particularly like the way the author hands back power to the reader by discussing destructive emotions (such as fear, guilt, anxiety, worry) – as ‘habits’ – as opposed to labeling such emotions as ‘traits or inherited qualities’. The latter implies we can’t change the unwanted emotion; the former implies we can change the unwanted emotion.

Here are some quotes.

“What is a negative emotional habit? Like any habit it is a learned reflex.  It is a response that becomes unthinking and automatic through constant repetition.  The drug addict is hooked on heroin or some other dangerous substance.  But others of us become guilt addicts, or anxiety addicts, or rejection addicts, or fall into any of a dozen other negative emotional obsessions.” (p.7)

“Strange – while negative emotions stick to us like tar, our positive, healthy, happy feelings are often fleeting and fragile. Good moods are shattered by the mildest opf reversals and instantly replaced by bad moods.” (p.7)

“I sometimes suspect that people cling to their emotional bad habits because negativism seems somehow more chic these days. It is fashionable to be cynical and pessimistic. It is cornball to be positive and upbeat.  It is Mary Poppins to look for the silver lining. It is sophisticated to find the dark clouds.

Why should this be?  Why this obsession with accentuating the negative?  Why, in a society that has declared the pursuit of happiness as an inalienable right, are so many of us addicted to habits of thinking that virtually ensure our unhappiness?” (p.8)
