The Energy
of Appreciation
 We
are very close to Thanksgiving Day in the United
States. I think it is an excellent idea for the
nation to set aside a day dedicated to being
thankful. In the US it started with the early
settlers giving thanks for reaching this country. In
the physical plane we are at peace when we live our
life with appreciation. There is a law of the
Universe that gives us more when we appreciate what
we have. Charles Fillmore, co-founder of the Unity
Church wrote" There is an inherent law of mind that
we increase whatever we praise. The whole of
creation responds to praise and thankfulness." This
always happens for me: when I am thinking of theme
to review for myself and share with others, the
resources I am looking for just open for me. The
summary that follows is from Sandra Anne Taylor's
book titled Quantum Success: The Astounding Science
of Wealth and Happiness. Her resource material and
others will be used as the foundation for our
Prosperity Now program that is starting in a
couple weeks.
What
Is Appreciation?
Sandra writes: It's
the intention to live with gratitude, the conscious
acknowledgment of the value within and around us,
the willingness to notice all the good things we
already have, and the desire to experience all of
life this attitude. To really create this vibration,
your daily life has to resonate with the awareness
and gratitude in the here-and-now.
Whether you realize it or not every single time that
you experience happiness, underneath it all you're
in a state of appreciation. We learned in
Spirit
Expressing that all of this is about the
feelings. It is not about the homes, the cars, the
money, the health, the relationships...it is about
the feelings. The feelings of peace and happiness
come from our connection to the Source - our
connection to God. Appreciation is a foundation
principle for happiness and manifestation.
"The Universal Laws don't budge on this point: That
which you focus on will expand in your life. And if
you are constantly noticing what you lack, then the
deficiencies in your life will be overwhelming."
You can lift any concern or problem away with
appreciation. I love the formula for eliminating
doubt, fear, anxiety, depression. She writes "
whenever you're feeling down about something, STOP
what you are doing, take a moment to become aware of
what you are thinking about and then DROP the
negativity, whether it is worry, judgment, or
dissatisfaction of some kind. Then say "I can let
this go and just DROP it. Finally COP and attitude
of gratitude right away. Find something you can be
thankful for in your environment right away."
Try it today - no matter how large or small the
issues STOP DROP COP works.
Appreciation
Journal
Everyone participating in Prosperity Now will be
developing their own success journal. Part of this
journal will be the "Appreciation Section" Some may
find using a separate appreciation journal works
even better. It doesn't matter. The guidance is that
each day write your list of what you appreciate. Now
if your in the COP part of the formula above and
can't think of anything to be grateful for, refer to
your list. See "It's All Good!"
Appreciation
Affirmations
We will be covering Appreciation in depth during
the Prosperity Now series. The following is a great
affirmation:
" I live with joyous gratitude and become more and
more conscious of all that I have to be thankful
for. I take time to appreciate all the wonderful
things to be happy about"
May you experience the
unlimited love, health, happiness and prosperity
that is yours for the asking!
