Embracing
Appreciation & Gratitude
By Cheryl
Glover, New Thought Kabbalah
Appreciation & gratitude is a spiritual state of mind; it is a state of
mind that allows us to open to the power of love, the law of
attraction, and the energy of prosperity. The metaphysical
reason behind this state of mind is that we open ourselves to
the positive focus of what we have and what we can potentially
have. This openness then returns to us more of what we are
appreciating and grateful for.
For example, if you appreciate the income you have, you are focusing on
the positive side of receiving income. What you therefore get is
more income. You are focusing on something you have and want
more of, you are open to the spiritual energy, and you are being
positive: open, positive, focused. If you focus on bills you get
more bills, here you are focusing on income.
In order to create and manifest abundance, prosperity, health,
relationship, income, opportunity we need to appreciate the
abundance, prosperity, health, relationship and income we have.
As an example, here is my “creation break” (instead of a coffee
break) every day:
-
I love and appreciate
my family, my children, my parents, my siblings, etc.
-
I love and appreciate
my friends
-
I love and appreciate
my house
-
I love and appreciate
my store
-
I love and appreciate
my clients
-
I appreciate the
income I receive every day
-
I am grateful for the
attention my book has received
-
I am grateful that I
can help so many people
-
I appreciate the
booking I get for teaching and I appreciate my students
-
I am grateful that I
am able to teach and help others find G-d
-
I am grateful that I
am free
-
I am grateful that I
can be spiritually free
-
I am grateful for the
new opportunities that come my way
-
I appreciate that so
many people bring me gifts as appreciation for my help and
teachings
-
I am grateful that I
am in perfect health and getting healthier every day
-
I appreciate that I
am growing younger yet wiser
-
I am grateful that
G-d is in my life and in everything I do
-
I am grateful for my
spiritual gifts and talents
-
I appreciate the love
and appreciation from my students
-
I am grateful for the
peace, harmony, joy, happiness, love and prosperity in my
life and in the world
-
I appreciate and am
grateful for all that I have and will have
This does not mean that there are events or things that I would rather
not have in my life. However, I do not give them more focus than
they need but give the positive and appreciative things more
focus. So for example:
I have bills, but instead of focusing on bills, I focus
on and appreciate having the income. I want more income, not
more bills. I want to focus on being debt free but the
subconscious cannot understand a negative, so I focus on
appreciating my income and welcoming more.
Similarly, I focus on all the other items on my list above. This allows
the opening for more items that I would appreciate and be
grateful. This works on a personal level as well as on a global
level. I am appreciative and grateful for the peace in the
world. This does not mean that the whole world is at peace, it
means that I appreciate that there IS peace, right now,
somewhere. I want it everywhere, but I have to start by
appreciating it wherever it is. If everyone would do this we
could sustain this energy of love throughout our world.
Another blessing is the impact that appreciation has on others. At my
last healing circle, I had a person stand up and everyone
expressed appreciation for her. You could energetically see the
difference in her aura, her personality, her posture when people
were appreciating her. She was dramatically changed. She was
charged, she was loved, and she was whole. Imagine the impact on
a child if they knew that we were grateful and appreciated them
rather than that they were to be unheard, unseen and an
annoyance.
Therefore, we find that OUR being in appreciation changes us. Giving
OTHERS, appreciation changes them. Furthermore, when we
appreciate good things in our world, we change the world. When
we appreciate peace, we get peace, when we appreciate love, we
get love, when we appreciate the beauty of our world, and band
together to bring this energy forth, it manifests.
Finally, giving G-d appreciation changes the world. It is said that the
Angels stopped responding to Mankind for a number of generations
because Mankind was not appreciative. We stopped focusing on
Heaven. The kingdom of heaven is in our hearts, if we stop
appreciating this, we stop giving--- then we stop receiving. No
other type of gift would be more devastating to stop receiving.
For the gifts from heaven are the gifts to our soul. If we stop
feeding our soul, we lose.
G-d gave us the words and the understanding: Thou shall love the lord,
thy G-d, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all
you possess. When you are a child, you need to be loved.
However, when you are an adult what you need is someone to love.
So love and appreciate G-d, and all will be good.
Appreciation can change a child, a person, a family, a nation and a
world.
Thank you all for being on my mailing list.
