Anything you want in life is yours for the asking if you tap into the power of your own thoughts.

Is there anything you desire that you feel you can’t achieve?

Does what you really want seem just out of reach?

With a little imagination and faith you can turn your thoughts into reality. And with continued practice you can master the thought powers and think your way to health, happiness and prosperity.

Here are 5 simple step you can use to begin to turn your thoughts into reality.

1. Desire it. Passion is a strong bridge between you and what you want. Ask yourself – how much do you really want this thing you are thinking of? Is it something you can do without, or something you are really passionate about? When focused, passion is powerful force.

2. Be specific. Be very clear about what you want. What you get is only as clear as what you want. If you want a house, see it very clearly on your mind – the architectural design of the interior and exterior, the garden, and more. Set a deadline, otherwise it can turn into just fantasy. When do you want to have that house?

3. Visualize. This is arguably the most powerful tool of the mind. Be the director and leading actor in your own eternal movie. Walk through your dream house, see the sights, smell the scents, feel the feeling of being there. The subconscious mind does not differentiate between a real experience and an imagined experience. So, once you vividly imagine a scene, you are closer to having it manifest in reality. Visualize for a few minutes daily. It’s especially effective when done first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

4. Believe. Fear and doubt stand in the way between you and your dream. Should you feel any doubts, you must believe that the universe will give to you what you desire. The universe is overflowing in blessings and abundance if only you ask and believe! What you believe, the universe gives. If you believe that you will get it, the universe will give it to you. If you believe you won’t, then the universe won’t give it to you.

5. Take inspired action. From your daily visualizations, you may suddenly get a spark of an idea of how to get the house. Or you might meet a person who knows where you can buy your dream house. At these moments, don’t hesitate.  You must say yes to your dreams when the opportunity to have them appears in your mind, take action!  Your willingness to act on your thoughts is the final step on the way to turning your thoughts into reality.

So follow these 5 simple steps and see for yourself. You will never know if it true for you, or not, unless you try it for yourself.

Decide today, to allow your own experience to be your teacher and you too may find, you can indeed turn your thoughts into reality!   When you do, you’ll be living Your ElevatedLife!

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, and confusion into clarity…. It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.” ~ Melodie Beattie~

Researchers, Psychologists, and Mental Health experts have collaborated regarding gratitude research and they all agree that these benefits are part of an emerging study. As we go forward on our quest for Inspiration, Happiness and Peace of Mind, we always encourage the practice and awareness of the “Elevated Eleven” benefits regarding gratitude.

Everyone has the opportunity to be uplifted. Gratitude is really an individual choice to develop a consistent habit of expressing heartfelt gratitude. There is no greater power in the Universe than gratitude. Being sincerely thankful is the demonstration of universal love. There is nothing that you cannot be, do or have once you learn to be grateful for everything in your life.  Feeling and expressing Gratitude makes life better for us and for those with whom we share our lives. Until next time…wishing you a life filled with gratitude.

An Elevating Superman

Look!     Up in the sky!      It’s a bird!       It’s a plane!

It’s Superman! Yes, it’s Superman! Strange visitor from another planet, who came to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman!

Who can change the the course of mighty rivers, bend steel with bare hands, and who — disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper — fights a never ending battle for truth, justice and the American way!

Just like, Superman, we all have many super powers as well.  These powers  for most people are ignored as we move from childhood into adulthood.  Our secret powers may go dormant, but  fortunately they don’t die.  To reawaken your power simply return to the innocent mind of your youth, and remember to use “Your Power to Elevate”.

The human brain normally weighs a little over three pounds in males, and a little under three pounds in females.  Despite this weight difference, the brains of males and females function identically. The subject regarding the parts of the brain, as well as the functions of each particular part, is an intensely convoluted endeavor.

To simplify, the more or less three-pound brain can be divided into three major parts- forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain.

Houston, we have LIFT OFF !

The forebrain is the largest among the three parts and is considered the center of human intelligence. Intelligence is what sets man apart from animals.

Although something that is akin to intelligence is evident in animals, this manifestation of intelligence-like characteristics is more appropriately referred to as instinct.

Living organisms, both single-celled and multi-celled, have varying levels and means by which instinct is displayed for survival purposes.

When seen under the microscope, single-celled organism like the protozoa can perform basic functions such as the intake of food that they meet along the way, the elimination of waste, and the avoidance of dangerous chemicals or substances. These basic activities are the only things that single-celled organisms are capable of.

On the other hand, multi-celled organisms can do complex activities like moving around to search for food and shelter, and being aware of what is happening in their environment.

In comparison to all other organisms lower in class than man, man is the only being on earth who can think or process the ideas he acquires from experiences, and can decide about the things he want to do.

With thought, man can effect changes, whether these changes mean creation or perdition. Man’s life does not rely on fate alone, but on his own will. The brain enables man to conceptualize creative ideas and gives man the power to make these ideas alive.

The human body is likened to a computer system where the brain serves as the central processing unit (CPU) responsible for controlling all the physiological, psychological and emotional processes that takes place from within.

The attributes of human intelligence, which include thinking, willpower, consciousness, emotion, memory, and the like, depend on the forebrain, specifically in the gray matter of the cerebrum called cortex.

The cortex might be a neutral-colored thing, but this gray matter is the source of all the colors or hues of man’s life. (i.e. human beings)

With the gift of willpower, man has the ability to change the hues of his life, from angry red, to joyful yellow, to sad violet, to hopeful green, etc.

The other major parts of the brain are the midbrain and hindbrain. The midbrain controls reflexes while the hindbrain is responsible for body movement coordination and involuntary actions such as heart rate and respiration.

The forebrain, where thinking is based, sends signals to other parts of the brain to make a person move. Your brain controls your every activity. Although brain activities can now be altered, the best way to maximize your brain potentials is resorting to the natural and non-invasive remedy of maintaining a positive outlook in life.

Think positive thoughts and act on what you think, because your actions serve as your brain’s exercise making it stronger and more flexible.

Leonardo da Vinci once said,
“Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity, and in cold weather becomes frozen; ever so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.”

So, take control of the one thing you can have total control of, your thoughts, and use them to empower yourself.

You can use the power of positive thought, to live the life you’ve always dreamed of. Use your brains elevating power to lift yourself above the illusion of problem. When you become a student of right thought all things will be possible for you.

False beliefs about ourselves are the delusions which darken the intuitive vision, and when we lift the veil of delusion and see ourselves as we are, thus putting away error of thought and perception, then pain and discomfort drop from us as naturally as leaves in autumn drop from trees. – Malinda Cramer

We are“human beings” being what exactly? There is much drama in our society on a daily basis involving all people in all walks of life. We have daily episodes of drama throughout the world and we seem to like it. We all have heard that if there were nothing but “good news,” no one would be interested.Do you think that’s true? Are we addicted to the drama and the victimization of others and ourselves? If so, what does that mean to each of us personally? Are we the Victims of a negative society and do we have any personal responsibility regarding negativity?

We apparently have no issues with talking at great lengths about our misery or our illness or what we hate or what we dislike or what we can’t stand about someone or how awful Susie or Joe behaved or what hatefulness was being gossiped about around the water cooler or other negative sources that we freely choose to allow in our lives. There are many people who find it easy to look for only what’s wrong. They have lived around negativity for so many years that they have become numb to their actions and its just part of what they do without any thought whatsoever. They are quick to say what’s wrong with other people, with their lives, their work, their day, their relationships, their conduct, or any of several other examples. Many people start their day by turning on the TV and start their day with the negative influx of comments and then experience their day repeating and adding to the negativity and finding someone to blame…seems like lots of people are looking for someone to blame.

The choice that is always present would be the opposite thinking process, that of a lifestyle that involves looking at things with a higher awareness and different perception. It requires that you see and understand the positive aspects of people and situations – instead of just focusing on the negative. If our goal is to produce and live a positive and happy life, then practicing negativity is not the path. Too often we get caught up with the negative opinions, attitudes, actions and thoughts of those around us finding ourselves “in it” and in the end, we have created a negative experience that leaves us unhappy, depressed, hopeless and angry. Not understanding how we got there, we blame someone else and move forward carrying the negative baggage with us. After blaming someone else, then what?

When people engage in negative thinking are they just not thinking “right thoughts” or are they so used to being the Victim that this environment seems like a comfort zone or is there another possibility? In our daily dramas, maybe we are addicted to the drama and we think being the Victim feels good. Everybody seems to be engaged in the drama and having the same thoughts, so why not join in, right? So are we just “fitting in” and “doing what everybody else does” and therefore we are just part of society repeating what’s all over the television and elsewhere. Maybe we are just not aware of what we are doing. Is that possible, to not be aware? Are we engaging in something that we are not aware of or do we somehow believe that negative thinking and talking is acceptable? If your role became something other than a Victim, would your conversation change? There have been many times when I have asked someone who said something negative if they really meant what they said and the most common reply was, “Well, I didn’t mean it that way.” Most of them were angry that I actually asked the question even though I just repeated exactly what they said! I wonder if there is no “thought” given to what is said sometimes.

Maybe negative thinking feels realistic and it helps us “fit in.” Maybe negative thinking and behavior is a lot more fun than positive thinking…maybe its easier…maybe that’s why we do it. Are we truly addicted to the negativity and the dramas? Have you ever thought about what your life would be like without drama and playing the Victim? What would happen if instead of spewing the negative phrases you just said nothing…how uncomfortable would you become? It takes courage to be the “one” that does NOT engage in the negativity. Just politely remove yourself and see what happens. I have done that before and the results were fascinating and my office became a positive environment rather than a gossip hall. And believe it or not, the people in the office were as grateful and as interested in the experiment as I was. Everyone’s life changed dramatically because the thoughts that were being held and behaviors that were being acted out were transformed. “No Negativity Allowed” became our motto.

Positive thinking requires responsibility and consistency. Our belief that the easy button of negative thinking is actually appropriate, and that it works for us is the mistaken perception that leads to a life of “existence and going along” rather than one of “living and being a positive creative force.” We are what we think. Know what thoughts you are holding. If your life is not happy and things don’t seem to be working out for you, spending your time in negativity is a contributing factor. That is what manifesting your negativity means. We can use exactly the same principle used to engage in the negativism to firmly place ourselves in a positive, productive lifestyle. We are the ones who create our feelings and experiences based on what we think. We can chose to hold and interact with only positive thoughts but as it is, we turn away and manifest negativity by blaming someone or something because we are not getting what we want. We are the decision makers of the thoughts we hold and entertain. We can dissolve the negativity instantly if we can just stop empowering our thoughts of separation and our feelings of inadequacy through playing the Victim. Positive thinking has been shown over and over again to improve performance and the quality of life.

Are you the Victim engaging in Negative thought energy dramatized to the max and joining in on negative conversation every chance you get and living the consequences of negative thoughts like worry or anger or jealousy or are you a practitioner of Positive thought energy that creates a life of abundance that is worry and stress free? Everyday brings new choices to you and remember that the thoughts you hold create your life experiences. Take an objective look and determine what your life experiences are made of. A change can happen in a heartbeat; all it takes is just one thought from you. You can be a Victim…or not.

During the Rain, above the Clouds, the Sun always Shines

There are several laws that govern everyone in this world.

This is regardless of age, race, sex, nationality, or religious background. By virtue of their being universal and all encompassing, these laws cannot be changed, nor can they be broken. The most powerful among which is the universal law of attraction.

What is stated in the universal law of attraction? To put in very simple terms, it simply says that you get what you give. If you give off positive energy, you get back positive energy. If you emit negative energy, then you shouldn’t be surprised when something negative comes back to you. The universal law of attraction is very similar to the law of Karma, which also espouses the ‘like attracts like’ principle.

Every human being is a magnet for different kinds of events and situations. Whether or not we deliberately give out positive and negative energy, the law of attraction is at play.

In fact, it is so powerful that some people use the principles of the law as their mantra in order to lead very positive and manageable lives. It gives reinforcement to the golden rule, which says, “do unto others what you want them to do unto you”.

How do you take advantage of the universal law of attraction to live a more calm and stress-free life? Consider these tips:

1.You should know what you want and be very clear about your intentions. The more you focus on your goal, the greater your chances of getting it in the future. When you have a fixed end in mind, all your actions now and in the coming days will be for the accomplishment of this goal.

2.Visualize what you want to happen. The more you take your goal to heart, the more inspired you will be to seek ways to reach it. If you visualize the moment when you are holding that particular goal in the palm of your hand, the greater the push of positive energy on you to seek it.

3.When the moment comes, seize it. You are given at least one chance, one opportunity to grab life, and take it by the reins. Do not let your passion scare you too much and drive you away when all that you have been searching for finally arrives.

4.Take action. Once you have your goal, exercise all means to stay focused. You will be able to do so if you stay focused on positive energy. The good vibes will keep you motivated and strong.

At this point, it should be noted that the law of attraction does not just show you how you attract the positive. It is also a reminder of the many negative things that could come your way. Thus, if you want to live an inspired, elevated life, you must focus on and practice only the good thoughts you desire.

Whatever you focus on, is your practice and way of living and must sooner or later become your life experience. You are under this law and it doesn’t matter if you know and accept it or not.  Your thoughts are creating your life experience. So, why not raise your thoughts and start living your ElevatedLife now.
