My Sacred Life Project: Day 15
My Sacred Life Project
Day 15
I was reading through some notes that I have taken down over the course of the last year or so from various interviews with the speakers in The Secret. And one of the things that caught my eye again were the questions of where do I place my attention? Where do I place my attention on a consistent basis? What do I focus on and attend to on a regular consistent basis? Where my attention goes energy flows. I bring into my life where my attention resides.
I thought about this as I lit my sage this morning to clear the space for my meditation. Where is my attention, especially when I'm not thinking about it. When I tune back into present moment, what was my mind working with, obsessing over, ruminating about? I create those things without even intending to. Without going into details, I had a quiet but potent shift internally yesterday, only to recieve the external results of that soon afterwards. It felt like it came from left field, and yet, it didn't. My attention shifted. How I storied the situation shifted, so the story itself changed.
I am feeling very conscious of where my attention is these days, how its changing. What I am spending my energy on, my time on, is shifting. My ideas are coming from a different place, moving into new more expanded possibilities, or realms of existence. I want to cultivate this as much as I can. I want to choose second by second how my thoughts create my reality, and not let my mind play in the fields of fear and self doubt.
Its a good day today. And its going to be an even better weekend!
Blessings to you all,
e





it is a very good day today :) i love it when i am able to do that shift, that so necessary shift .... hugs!

I so believe in putting ourselves in the flow of good within the universe. I really think that's what The Secret is all about. Thanks for a wonderful post.

MMM. I love Sage smudging to create sacred space. I haven't studied the Secret much (my cynical side says it's all just a marketing ploy to make those guys who created it Rich -and they are rich). However, I do think that there are many things about they way we view our own lives, where our attention goes, that are worthy of further, well, attention.
Thank you for reminding me to be open to new ideas, and new perspectives.
Kisses Ducky,
L.B.

You have a beautiful blog here.
