Wow! I love it. <br /><br />It is so beautiful that you were able to apply these principles to the birth of your son. I love hearing people's experiences of what happens when you consciously apply deliberate thinking and use tools such as visualisation. I am really inspired to hear that the energy and intention you set forth created such amazing results! Thank you for sharing this wonderful story! xx<br /><br />Rebecca - You are so spot on. We filter the world based on our perceptions. Just because we perceive the world that way, does not actually mean it is that way. We have a part of our brain called the Reticular Activating System that actually seeks out experiences in the external world to match what we are focusing on. So, like you said, our brain is now noticing these negative things more because that is where we are putting our attention. And once we shift to a more positive mindset, our perceptions shift and we start noticing the positives again. Thank you for that beautiful distinction xxconniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364315717910900260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607277425625646946.post-75196119275534669552012-03-01T18:10:10.042+11:002012-03-01T18:10:10.042+11:00Great post.

I find that when I'm dwelling on all that's going wrong, even more negativity seems to come my way. It may not *actually* be the case that bad things happen because you're thinking negatively; it's just that you notice them more and perceive things differently. When I'm in a positive frame of mind, I'm able to open myself up to the wonder all around me and I start noticing what's going right.Rebeccahttp://www.offthemat.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607277425625646946.post-88231539634127963422012-03-01T10:52:39.886+11:002012-03-01T10:52:39.886+11:00Great post, Connie!

It is truly amazing what can be achieved/realised by using the Law of Attraction. <br /><br />In the lead up to the birth of my second son in December, I jumped on the 'visualisation train' big time! I had an amazing birth experience and believe 100% that it was brought about by my strong visualisation. I looked back at my journal a few weeks ago and re-read my detailed description of exactly how the birth was going to go. I'd written that my baby would be born at 3:22pm... he was born at 3:20pm! Previously I would have put this down to amazing coincidence but not now. There's no such thing as far as I'm concerned!<br /><br />Vari xVari Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797050110164367218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607277425625646946.post-32242084089230353442012-03-01T07:55:45.428+11:002012-03-01T07:55:45.428+11:00Hey anon, thanks for your comment!

The first step is to simply become conscious that this is happening, and then we are empowered to start to change it. A good way to notice if you are thinking positively or negatively is to notice how you feel during the day. If you are feeling flat, low, or depressed it is likely you have been thinking negative thoughts. Alternatively, thinking positive thoughts always makes you feel light, happy and good. Try simply paying attention to how youre feeling during the day, and try to become aware of the thought patterns that are creating these emotions!<br /><br />Good luck xxconniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364315717910900260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607277425625646946.post-59238936118289924022012-03-01T07:43:50.009+11:002012-03-01T07:43:50.009+11:00This post really resonated with me.

Today I will be proactive in watching my thoughts and paying attention to them.

My understanding is, that being attached to your outcome, comes from a place of 'needing' something, as well as the desire to 'control' the outcome and have it happen on 'your' time and how you want it to. When you are attached you are often desperately wanting this thing to happen, and you are giving off a strong vibe that says 'things are not ok as they are. i need something to change' or 'i desperately need this outcome so i can be happy'<br /><br />However, when you are detached, your energy is more open, receptive, light hearted and you are therefore more able to attract positivity. You are giving off a vibe that says 'everything is ok just as it is, but I know other good stuff is on it's way to me'. You are more expectant, and you are not putting any pressure on whether this thing needs to manifest or not, because you are already happy!<br /><br />I feel that being attached has a lower and more negative energy than detachment. <br /><br />Hope that helps a bit!

I read quite a bit though about detaching being part of the process too. It's difficult to detach from something you really want though. What are you thoughts and experiences with detaching?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
