EXPECTATIONS - How to get out of a Speeding Ticket

If you look for the bad in people it isn’t hard to find, especially if your thoughts are focused on the negative aspect of persons personality or beliefs.

Take for instance my dog, Chewy Two Toes.  Chewy gets very excited when friends and family visit our home.  She acts like an overly excited bouncy dog with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), and she has a bad habit of jumping on people as they enter the door making their way to be seated.  Yet I can project how badly Chewy will act before hand, when I am aware of who is going to visit, due to their expectations of Chewy’s behavior.  Her behavior is much worse when others expect her to act badly.

Another example:  A person, who is afraid of dogs, is most likely to be bitten or attacked by a dog.  Animals (and humans) can sense fear.  When someone is fearful of you, you get kind of defensive.  I know I do.  Instead of being an open loving soul, you put a wall up as you ready for attack. 

The same is true if you regard someone as good natured; that goodness will resonate. 

Next time you get pulled over by a cop for speeding or whatever, send good thoughts towards the officer who is pulling you over.  I’ve done this twice and both times I walked away without a speeding ticket.

The first time I was in Ohio, a state that makes a living off of speeders.  I know because I use to live there.  We were visiting from Florida; we had out-of-state tags, and I was doing 80 mph in a 55 mph zone.  My wife was flipping out.  Her daughter was getting married, and she was late for a salon appointment.  Luckily I didn’t get so wrapped up in the drama that I forgot what I was taught.

Right away my thoughts went into action, “That officer is a nice looking young man.  It’s a beautiful day, and he’s in a good mood.  He doesn’t want to give me a ticket.  In a few minutes I’ll be on my way without a speeding ticket or without going to jail for driving so fast.”

And guess what, it worked.  Not once, but twice.  The second occurrence just happened yesterday. 

A deputy sheriff pulled me over for doing 53 mph in a 30 mph zone, as I was exiting the beach.  I just about forgot what I was taught in regards to my thoughts, until the wife asked the question, “I wonder how much this ticket is going to cost?”

Right away, I changed my thoughts as I described in the traffic stop in Ohio, “This kid is a good cop, he doesn’t want to give me a ticket.”  And again, I walked away without a ticket.

The secret is learning to discipline the mind.  The more you practice.  The easier it becomes.  Keep your thoughts pure and choose to see the good in people, instead of the bad.  When you find yourself thinking badly of a person, look at their good qualities and focus on the positive instead of the negative. 

The information is available to us to make the world a better place to live.  We just need to choose to use it.  Make it a loving, happy, positive day ~ expect only the best out of yourself and others.

 

 

THE WATER BLESSING

You’ll often see me blogging about the power of the mind, and how thought can affect our bodies.  Considering ninety percent of the human body is made up of water, it is logical that a direct correlation exist between the two (thought and water/body).   And there are actually scientific studies that support this assumption. 

Masaru Emoto, from Japan has published six books (1996-2007) that claims human consciousness has a direct effect on the molecular structure of water.  Emoto wanted to test the power of thought and words and its effect on water. So he taped words onto glass containers, so that the word could be read by the water inside. The water would respond to words like, love and gratitude, by crystallizing shiny and white, like snowflakes. But words like hate or even the name Hitler would not crystallize, and took on shapeless and unattractive forms.

Emoto’s experiment affirms that what we say and think has a profound effect on us physically. And to further this theory that thought can clean and heal polluted water, a demonstration of few hundred people, led by a Buddhist Monk, gathered around a polluted stream in Japan and focused on the water healing for an hour. Fifteen minutes after the meditation, it was reported that the water became visibly clearer.  The water would not crystallize before the experiment, but afterwards the water crystallized into beautiful shapes.

This not only authenticates that we have the power to heal ourselves; it also proves we have the power to heal the oceans, lakes, rivers and steams. 

In 2011, after the Deepwater Horizon Disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, a few of us began to meet once a month at the beach.  We would collect a small jar of water, and we would take the water home with us and tell it how grateful we were, and how much we loved it; meditating on the water healing from the oil and Corexit used by BP.  

I personally drew a little smiley face on my jar of water, with a red heart.  I taped the words Love, Gratitude, and Peace on the jar as well. 

We meet on the Thursday closest to the full moon.  Then we return the water to the Gulf of Mexico and collect a new jar of water to take home.

The moon also plays an important role in our ritual.  Not only does the moon have an effect on the tides, but it also amplifies human emotion; therefore enhancing the power of the prayer. 

And what’s really cool is that anyone can do this.  You do not have to be part of a group. No priest or monk needed.  You can do it where you live, or anytime on your own.  You have that ability to heal.

CREATIVE VISUALIZATION – ACHIEVING YOUR HEARTS DESIRE

When I was a kid, about thirty years ago, I seen a young man on television that had beaten lung cancer by sitting near a waterfall and visualizing the water washing away the cancer.  The cancer disappeared.  He basically healed himself.

Creative visualization is a meditative technique to create what it is you want in life.  All you need is to use your natural ability to imagine or picture what it is you seek; like love, or healthy relationships, good health, prosperity, harmony, whatever your heart desires.

For example, say you’re a football player.  Before the game, you sit in silence for twenty minutes, and focus on a clear image.  You’re a wide receiver, you are running down the field, and you see yourself with your arms open, as if to catch the ball.  Focus on that image.  Then imagine it happening now (not in the future, but in the present).  You’re running down the field waiting for the ball to arrive, and now you have your hands on the ball, tucking it away, so no one can steal it.  There’s nothing between you and the goal line.  ‘TOUCHDOWN!”   And the crowd goes wild!  Now affirm your vision and make it yours.

Not long ago, I was driving in heavy traffic.  I had just got off from work.  And I thought to myself, if I’m not verbally being offensive to anyone on the road, does it really matter what I think about that person?  Instead of saying, “You Asshole,” I simply thought, you asshole.

A short time later, I was introduced to a Creative Visualization class, where I learned to understand the Law of Attraction.  This is the principle that what we attract in our lives is whatever we think about, especially if it is heartfelt, or thought of often.  In other words, thought precedes manifestation. What you think will happen, will most likely occur. 

So not only was my question answered by some kind of divine intervention, but it is also a great example of how the Law of Attraction works. 

Thought moves fast.  I’ve asked a question before in my mind, and was presented an answer to it within seconds, through a sign in nature.  When this happens, I immediately turn to awareness to my last thoughts.  And I can’t always remember them either.  That’s because thoughts race through the mind constantly, which is why it is important to quiet the mind and focus on what it is you truly want out of life. 

Try this, the next time before you pull into a busy parking lot, picture an empty parking space closest to the door.  Affirm that thought, you know there is a parking space by the door waiting for you.  You are a good person, and you deserve that front row parking spot. 

Even once you pull into the parking lot, and someone else is turning down the same row as you, know in your heart and hold onto the thought, that there will still be a parking spot for you near the door. 

I do it all the time.  It works more often than not.  I’ll usually thank Spirit afterwards as well. 

Sometimes I’ll use Creative Visualization, when my other half has been uptight and irritable. I’ll visualize her in a white light happy and joyful.  I found that this works as well.  Even though the technique does not control the behavior of others, it does allow everyone to manifest in their most positive aspect. 

So when you come across a stranger, don’t be so judgmental.  Because if you see only the negative in a person, then that behavior will most likely be reflected back at you from that individual. 

Think good thoughts.  The mind is powerful tool.  And it is important that we learn to control our thoughts and use them wisely.  Positive thoughts will make a positive life, in contrast to negative thoughts which will manifest themselves in a negative fashion.
