Thinking vs. Creating

You may remember from earlier posts that thinking causes your experience of life. Although humans have no idea where thoughts really come from, they do move into physical form, we know that much. According to the Universal Law of Physics, specifically The Law of Perpetual Transmutation:

Energy moves into physical form. The images you hold in your mind, the conversations you have with yourself and the things you say to others generate the results in your life, not sometimes, not ‘here and there’, but literally ALL THE TIME.

I know I've touched on this quite a bit, but I'm always getting the question: "how do you manifest?" and I'll tell you this: you're always manifesting. We are all masters of manifestation because all we have to do is think and talk and we manifest. The question I ask you is: what are you manifesting? The conscious creation of your thoughts leads to the conscious creation of your life in physical form. If you don't like something in your life, consider that you created it with your thoughts. Thinking of any kind, whether conscious or daydreaming, leads to creation of your life in physical form. All of what you think is manifesting all the time. Now, if you think something once, it's probably not going to come into physical form. If you think something 10,000+ times, it probably will.

Given this, I'd like to take a moment today to distinguish thinking from creating for you. I define thinking as the mindless conversation that happens without choice. It simply happens as a function of being human. I define creating as the conversation you choose to have, whether it's with yourself or others. The element that differentiates thinking from creating is exercising your free will, your choice in the matter.

When you think, you:

1) Consider nothing beforehand or during your thinking and conversation.

2) Consider nothing about what you're manifesting with your thoughts and conversations.

3) Are sometimes aware of what you think and say and sometimes not.

4) Feel empowered or disempowered, depending on your thoughts and conversations.

When you create, you:

1) Consider what you want beforehand and during your thinking and conversations.

2) Consider what you're creating, i.e. manifesting, with your thoughts and conversations.

3) Are aware of what you think and say.

4) Feel empowered by your thoughts and conversations.

The more you choose what to think, the more you manifest your desires. Today, and every day, practice creating and stop thinking about what you want. Use statements such as "I am" or "I will" and refrain from using "I want" because all you'll get with that is more "wanting" in your life. I can't stress enough the physics: you get a Xerox copy of what you think. So, what are you thinking today?

With love, power, and magic,

Kristine

Do you wish you had more time in the day?

There is an old saying "I thinketh therefore I am" and I had a client ask me the other day what my take was on the saying. I will often say, "you are what you eat and you are what you think." In fact, you are literally "what you think" all the time and that's it. Your eating is a result of your thinking so is everything else in your life. Easy enough, right? Think positively and you're all set? Actually, no. Have you ever noticed how positive thinking doesn't carry the day, that it doesn't really work? That's because positive thinking, like most other quick fixes is a 'quick fix' and not a lasting, effective one.

Thinking positively is like smearing frosting on a mud pie. No matter how good the frosting is, the pie still tastes like mud. If you want to change the results you're getting in your life, you have to stop making mud pies, literally. I'm not talking about some 'control your thoughts' routine. I am saying you get EXACTLY what you think. EXACTLY, not sort of, not kind of, exactly what you think. So if you think you're controlling your thoughts, you will control your thoughts. If you think you will have a bad day, you will have a bad day. If you think you're dumb, you are dumb. If you think this article sucks, is confusing or too long or horribly written, so it will be. You see?

If you take on NOT complaining, justifying, or blaming, you will literally have a breakthrough in time. Too much of your time is spent thinking or speaking thoughts about what you don't want and these are the 3 most common forms. Literally, you will have so much time you won't know what to do with it. I'm serious. Complaining, blaming and justifying of any kind doesn't work to generate the results you want, ever. There is no purpose in any of it except to avoid responsibility. Avoiding responsibility gets you nowhere. Taking responsibility gets you where you want to go.

The thinking that is categorically complaining, blaming or justifying is very human so everyone does it. But it is designed to support you in 'getting through' your life, not 'enjoying' your life. While you are complaining, blaming and justifying, your life is passing you by. Don't get me wrong, it's a natural approach to complain, blame, and justify, BUT it's not an effective approach because you are what you think. If you think in complaints, you get more of what you're complaining about. If you think that something in your life is someone else's fault, you will get more things in your life resulting as that person's 'fault', and lastly, if you are justified in being a jerk, being annoyed, or being depressed, you are always going to be that way.

The most popular 'thing' to complain about, justify, and blame others for right now is 'the economy'. Imagine how much we could accomplish if we stopped complaining about it, justifying our lives because of it, or blaming other people and/or the government for it and simply did what we need to do about it and meanwhile, be happy and grateful. Whether you take this on or not is your own free will, but I promise you will get what you think, and what you say, either way.

With love, power, and magic,

4 Reasons to Love Your Body

Photo by hersheydesai
Loving your body is essential to your health. Emotionally and mentally, you support your own energy and vitality either by loving yourself or not. In this article, I'd like to give 4 reasons to love your body that breakthrough the clutter and cliche reasons and honestly wake people up to the reality of life in a human body. Here goes:

Reason #1: Because it's YOUR body!

Come on now, let's get real. Your body is your body. You don't get a second chance, you don't get to trade it in for a new one (I know most of us wish we could and may have even already tried!), but reality is your only choice is to accept yourself and your entire body. People overlook the 'hateful energy' they have around their bodies. For example, every time you look in the mirror and think, "I hate my butt" or "I hate those wrinkles" or "I hate the way my hair looks" or "... the bags under my eyes" - people flippantly say "I hate" about areas of their bodies even though the word hate is rarely used elsewhere in life. How silly is it to 'hate' your body when you refrain from 'hating' in most of your life? Hating in any way, shape or form is deemed a mental illness by most psychological and social experts let alone most people. The ONLY word you want to be using to think about and/or talk about your body is love.

Reason #2: What you resist mentally persists physically.

Be careful what you say about your body because even though you don't think you can hurt your own feelings, you actually can! The negative energy you put into "not liking your body" gets stored in your body and only perpetuates and exacerbates what you don't like about your body. Focus on what you love about your body. Begin to love even the parts of your body that you hate. At least, you will surround yourself with positive energy, which might actually encourage you to take actions that empower you in making the changes you want to make with your physical body. Begin with the mental and emotional changes and allow them to promote physical changes. You can't have one without the other.

Reason #3: The human body is a miracle so stop complaining.

Think about it. Is your body beautiful or ugly? If you're not sure, actually think about it. What it takes for your body to maintain your lifestyle. Simple things like breathing, your heart beating, swallowing, or even closing/opening your eyes. No human could have ever invented such a beautiful array of ingenious complexity as the human body. Right down to your DNA being the source for your uniqueness. Think about it, this tiny little strand of protein is the source of you, all that you are and all that you do. That's amazing. And it's beautiful. The next time you think you're not beautiful, think again, no matter what you look like, the human body is a miracle and miracles are beautiful.

Reason #4: Because in the end you're body is just a body.

Just face it, in the end, you're going to die. And after you die, which is inevitable, your loved ones will either turn your body into ashes or bury it [most likely]. If they bury you, they'll cover you up with dirt and then go out for lunch afterward to celebrate your life and mourn your death. It will be a difficult and sad process for them at that time. But in the end, your body really is just your body and taking it too seriously isn't good for your health. Just like ignoring it isn't good for your health. Somewhere in between living every day like it's your last and living every day like you'll live to be 110 years old, find time to love your body since you actually won't need it for all that long in the grand scheme of things.
