What You Think Determines How You Feel
Written by Misty-Eve
Thursday, 28 May 2009
My oldest daughter, Pandora, has been labeled mentally handicapped because she hears things other people don't. Some of these things she hears include messages about the future, and events that will happen. I don't see that as a handicap, myself. I've always thought of her as just different.
She's been having a lot of difficulty lately with a girl at her school who seems to pick on her every day. Even after she's home, all she can think about is this girl and how upset she gets. But it's impossible to be happy when the mind is filled with unhappy thoughts. So when she's obsessed with the words and actions of someone who doesn't comply with her vision of a happy world - she's not happy.
Whenever she gets lost in these painful memories, I find it helpful to play the game of "What do I like about what's this?" which focuses on what's happening here - right here, right now. This always brings her attention back to the present moment.
We took turns yesterday expressing what we liked about the moment the pretty day, the green trees, the roadside flowers, being with each other, driving without traffic (we passed only 3 cars on our road going the other way). It never takes very long playing that game before there's a smile on everyone's faces.
Our PERCEPTION is KEY to understanding how we think. Perception is something more than mere looking at... or seeing things. People's perceptions vary as widely as people, for each of us sees things our own way. All of us have similar eyes, ears, etc., however, it is no secret that our experiences color our individual perceptions of things that re-stimulate the past.
When we're thinking about things past, we are re-stimulating the emotion that accompanies these past experiences. It is the emotion the feeling we are experiencing that sends out a powerful electro-magnetic vibration attracting similar feelings back into our experience.
Therefore, if we would change our future experience, we must change the feeling we are transmitting today to one that we will enjoy when it comes back to us.
See how easy it is to lift your spirit by raising your thought-transmission frequency the next time something is bothering you by playing the game "What do I like about this?"
What have YOU enjoyed about today? How many memories can you list?
It's worth thinking about...

REMEMBER...
What do you want to remember from this past week?
Reflect on your experience over the last 7 days. What was memorable about it? Write a short summary.
If you are not learning and moving forward, you are unconsciously entrenching older patterns more deeply. You are actually going backwards. So take a few minutes each week to reflect on what matters most in your life. Keep a journal so you can remember!

"Happiness is a state of mind in which our thinking is pleasant a good share of the time."

"Don't use the past as an excuse to miss out on your future."

"Generally, appreciation means some blend of thankfulness, admiration, approval, and gratitude. In the financial world, something that 'appreciates' grows in value. With the power tool of appreciation, you get the benefit of both perspectives: as you learn to be consistently thankful and approving, your life will grow in value."
~ Doc Childre and Howard Martin
"Happiness is the normal state of a healthy, well-adjusted individual. When you can cause sick people to be happy, psychologists have proven that their senses, like eyesight, taste and smell, improve, and their internal organs function better. They even heal quicker after an operation. Their memory improves, and their reasoning capabilities increase with happiness."
~ Father Eli
"As you begin to state what you do want, rather than clamoring about what you don't want, you come into your own power. When you come into your own power, you feel better. And when you feel better - those who love you also feel better."
~ Abraham-Hicks

TODAY'S POSITIVE THOUGHT
If you want to change the world, change the way you think about the world.
Today's Positive Affirmation
Today, I make a conscious decision to think of a world filled with love, hope, peace, and prosperity. I choose to see the world the way I want it to be and not as it appears to be.
Today's Positive Visualization
As I allow myself to relax, I release the old patterns I have held about the world. I clear my mind of the residuals of the race mind and the outer pictures I see in the media. I let go of my past experiences with the world and open to perceive the image of God's divine design for heaven on earth.
In my mind's eye, I see the world the way God intended it to be, filled with love and light. I see the hearts of people all over the world opening to love. I see people freely sharing their resources with others because they know that God's supply is always unlimited. I see a world filled with peace and prosperity where everyone lives in freedom. I see children joyfully playing knowing that they are always safe from harm. I see a world truly at peace and God's good will manifesting in every person's life.
I combine these images with the feeling of joy and let them go, knowing that they will create the good things I am visualizing and thinking.

KEY to Understanding Gemini: PERCEPTION
Perception is something more than mere looking at... or seeing things. People's perceptions vary as widely as people, for each of us sees things our own way. All of us have similar eyes, ears, etc., however, it is no secret that past experiences color our individual perceptions of things that re-stimulate the past.
There are also more secret factors that enhance the picture and color our individual perceptions. These are the factors of INSIGHT and INTUITION.
Insight and intuition are the inward perceptions - the hunch, the feeling, the still small voice within - these things from within us that color and alter what we see and hear from without. All these inputs, both external and internal go together to make our perceptions. These in turn produce our thinking and our thinking makes us what we are, and do, and become.

GEMINI: "I THINK"
1st Decan Influence: "REASON"
May 21 May 31
The three influences for Gemini follow as keys to our thinking nature. We find "Reason" as the first influence in the think tank. This decan (or 10 day period) is the cardinal phase of Gemini. A function of the conscious mind, it is reason that sets the human apart and makes us the recipient of the sentience now in our time as Masters of the Earth. The word is derived from the Latin - "Ratio" - meaning "to reckon" and that's about it.
Reasoning is the ability to calculate and to draw conclusions.
Look about your circle of friends and acquaintances. Are any of them a Gemini? Observe them and see them reason to conclusions - it is an ability these Gemini's have in abundance. We can learn from them and know that it is by reason that we can all function as humans for it is one of the greatest gifts of our thinking.
