Each day thank your
mother, father, masters, Gods, and others in this order.
Thanking your mother
harmonizes the female energy within you. As having an issue
with your mother
creates all issues with woman in general. Also the manifest world is
considered as “Shakti”
and issues with your own mother creates imbalance in many
areas of your life.
“When you realize
there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” -Lao Tzu
Thanking your father
harmonizes the male energy within you. Having an issue with your
father creates issues
with all males in your life.
These are not mumbo
jumbo crap as some of you who are so called educated may
think. All I can say
is formal education has huge discrepancies and is incomplete.
Discover more about
the impact of both the energies in real life and you will feel truly
blessed.
“Thanks” energy is an
expansion and multiplication energy. As you thank one and all,
you will feel
expansion in all walks of your life. The best of best will come your way. And
most important you
will be able to relish the finer things of life.
Take a moment now.
Close your eyes. Start to thank all those who contributed to your
life. You will feel at
peace with yourself. Make it a daily practice. Do it religiously once in
the morning before
going to work and once in the night before sleeping. One such
master technique is enough for an entire
life.
Every moment one
should thank. It should be spontaneous and natural. Thank water
and thank food before
consuming and you will discover how divine it tastes.
Take an action now.
Hold a glass of water, thank it from the bottom of your heart for a
few seconds, now drink
and experience the divine taste. Extend this further and start to
thank all that which
crosses your hand. Whilst expressing gratitude, the ordinary
becomes the extraordinary.
9 WAYS TO CULTIVATE GRATITUDE
1
Notice your day-to-day world from a point of
gratitude and be amazed at all the goodness we take for granted.
2
Keep a gratitude journal. All it requires is
noting one or more things you are grateful for on a daily basis. No fancy
notebook, no computer program required.
3
If you identify something or someone with a
negative trait (the cold conference room), switch it in your mind to a positive
trait (the conference room with a great view).
4
Gratitude requires humility, which the
dictionary defines as being "modest and respectful." Explore where it
fits in your life. Pray. People who are religious can use prayer to cultivate gratitude
5
Give at least one compliment daily, whether
directly to a person or by sharing your appreciation of something ("I love
how quiet it is in the morning, don’t you?"). Thank someone mentally. No time to write? It may help just to think about someone who has done something nice for you, and mentally thank the individual.
6
When you find yourself in a bad situation ask:
What can I learn? When I look back on this, without emotion, what will I be
grateful for?
7
Vow to not complain, criticize, or gossip for
a week. If you slip, rally your willpower and keep going. Notice how much
energy you were spending on negative thoughts.
8
Sound genuinely happy to hear from the people
who call you on the phone. Whether they respond with surprise or delight,
they'll feel valued.
9
Join a cause that's important to you. Donate money, time, or
talent. By getting involved, you’ll better appreciate the organization — and it
will appreciate you more, too. Count your blessings. Pick a time every week to sit down and write about your blessings — reflecting on what went right or what you are grateful for. Sometimes it helps to pick a number — such as three to five things — that you will identify each week. As you write, be specific and think about the sensations you felt when something good happened to you.
In positive psychology research, gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.
“We must find time to stop
and thank the people who make a difference in our lives.” ― John F. Kennedy
