How to Pray? – Believe, Affirm and Thank! Why Pray? More often than not, we had been conditioned to believe that we were to ask from God that which we do not have. Of course, that includes me too, and that’s how I been praying for long. Did it work? Yes, it did. Then why are we looking at how to pray? Because it did not work always. Well, the idea of how to pray comes from the aspect of what the Bible says: Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that…

What Aspects of Life Does Meditation Help? Meditation It is more than amply clear that meditation is a highly recommended tool to help us in our life. Long gone are the days where meditation was thought to be in the realm of the Tibetan monks or Indian Sadhus. Today, more and more people are flocking to meditation as a bee attracted to honey. Not only individuals but also organisations are introducing meditation, yoga and other life-changing habits for their employees. But…

Manifestation and Letting Go – What Is It All About? What Is Manifestation? Well, the Law of Attraction followers would be quite acclimatized with the term “manifestation” but for the uninitiated, what is it? ****Manifestation is the process of bringing into life something that you wish for or hope for.**** The dictionary meaning differs a bit. Here is one of those definitions: ****An event, action, or object that clearly shows or embodies something abstract or…

Guided Meditation – How Good Is It? Meditation I remember getting into meditation at least a decade ago, along with a friend. The reason I remember is not that I got started with meditation, but because I was not successful. However, my friend was in bliss. He had achieved that state of calm and peace that I intended to achieve too. So, for me, it was like he got through the first time while I was not good enough to nail the process. However, over the years after that first…

Law of Attraction – Heard of It? Law of Attraction I am sure many have heard of the Law of Attraction. Some of you have practised it while a good number may not even know about it. I came to know of the Law of Attraction (LoA), through the book “Ask and It Is Given” by Esther and Jerry Hicks. It resonated as I read it and knew that there was something right about the book. But then how does the LoA work and for whom? The fun part of the LoA is that it is always working…

Law of Attraction – 17 Seconds to Glory! Law of Attraction In my earlier article, we discussed the Law of Attraction (LoA) and how it impacts us and our lives. Whether we know about it or not, it works and continues to impact us. The takeaway was that if we know that the LoA exists and if we know that it impacts us, then why not make it work for us? The LoA could be considered as a genie that brings to us what we desire. The problem with desire is that it means what we want…

Bible and the Law of Attraction Law of Attraction The first book from Esther and Jerry Hicks’ that I read was “Money and the Law of Attraction.” For those who are unaware of Esther and Jerry Hicks, they were one of the first to bring the concept of Law of Attraction (LoA) to the fore. Of course, other teachers like Seth spoke about LoA even before Esther and Jerry, but social media allowed the latter to disseminate the concept much farther. Okay, now coming back to the book…

The Law of Attraction Not Working? – The Number One Reason Law of Attraction I am starting with the assumption that most of you’ll know what the Law of Attraction is all about. If I were to summarize it, then the most important point of the teachings is that like attracts like. Whether you believe in it or not, LoA always works. If that’s the case, then wouldn’t you want to make it work for you? The answer is “yes”. But does it work for you? The answer is “no”, at least for…

The Law of Attraction and the Power Within Law of Attraction I have written enough on the Law of Attraction (LoA) subject and how it impacts our lives. Whether we believe it or not, the LoA always works and keeps giving us what we ask for. The asking here is not the verbal asking but the emotional one; I mean, the feelings we have when we think about the subject we yearn for is what we call emotional ask. If it is money that we are after and feel scared of its…

Changing our Perspective: A Healthy Exercise! Our Lives on Autopilot Most of us live our lives on autopilot. We do not realize that we can control our thoughts and, therefore, our minds. Just to check, listen to that inner voice in your head right now, which is saying something to you. Many of us live our lives listening to this inner voice and, in many cases believing it too. But do we know what or who this inner voice is? ---------------------- Inner Voice The inner voice…

Forgetting Gratitude Background How a virtually innocent discussion between my elder sister and my six-year-old nephew taught me the true meaning of Gratitude! ---------------------- What happened? I was caught in the cross-fires of what appeared to be a civil discussion between my nephew and my elder sister; only my sister was trying hard not to yell at him. My nephew wanted a new toy, and he was pestering his mother for one, whereas my sister felt that he had to learn…

Law of Attraction and Starting a Successful Day! Successful Day! How easy or difficult is it to start a day successfully? Can it be done? Let's understand it together. ---------------------- Introduction The statement ‘starting a successful day’ is a rather confusing one because success is something that comes at the end of an activity and not at the beginning. Unless, of course, we call waking up a success. Maybe, that is too, but there is more to the statement. Now,…

Read to find out. --------------------- Part 1: What Are Affirmations? Affirmations are a repetition of sentences or phrases with feelings, which shape our thoughts and, therefore, our beliefs.

Law of Attraction and 22 Levels of Emotions Emotions Emotions are the real building blocks of our life. Let’s learn a bit more about them. ---------------------- Esther and Jerry Hicks’ Teachings I had mentioned before that most of my knowledge of the Law of Attraction (LoA) comes from the teachings of Esther and Jerry Hicks. I have read most of their books – Ask and It Is Given, Vortex, Money and the Law of Attraction, and many more. It was an eye-opener in the beginning…

Two Important Lessons for Individuals Using Energy Exercises What Are Energy Exercises? Okay, before we get started discussing the important lessons, let’s first understand what energy exercises are. Much like physical exercises are meant for the body and mind while emphasizing the body, energy exercises are its complementary form. Energy exercises too work on the body and mind but emphasize the mind. With physical exercise, we run with the idea that when we are physically…

Life the Dancer, We the Dance - Law of Attraction and Happiness! Life The Dancer Yesterday, I watched one of Eckhart Tolle's interviews with Oprah Winfrey, where they were discussing life in general. In one of the discussions, Tolle mentions that “life is the dancer and we are the dance,” to which Oprah is visibly amused. She, much like me, could not believe that we aren’t the dancers. Eckhart smiled in his usual calm manner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUuHHy_AhPg…
