The law of attraction: Is it for real?

Last Saturday I went to a film showing at Centro Narim. This is a dance school but also a center for metaphysics. Actually I go to this school now for the Arab dance classes and its been really great, I love it!!!!

So going back to the film showing, it was about one of the biggest secret of the universe which is the ” Law of Attraction”. So what is the law of attraction? The Law of Attraction simply says that you attract into your life whatever you think about. In short if you think of good and happy thoughts then you get the same energy back or if you keep on thinking of sad things, lets say you  worry too much , then you will worry some more because you are increasing that energy , and therefore attract the same negative thing.

How I wish this law is as simple as it sounds though, but then we always have room to learn new things in our life and maybe even shift how we think no matter how challenging that is. I easily get so distracted but I am more than willing to give this a try: )

I have met people who I think applied this in their life and the change was just amazing I must say!!!I have this friend who always wanted to go to Spain, you see going to Spain is kinda tricky if you are a Filipino living in the Philippines. So he had this picture of Spain and that put on a wall so when he woke up he gets to see it and be reminded of his goal and  dream. Well it happened, he lives in Barcelona now, he got a scholarship there. He made it because he was determined to go.

I remember reading the Alchemist by Coelho and it says that ,”when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” Now that is inspiring: ) Here is another from the Warrior of the light ,” the world is a mirror and gives back to each man the reflection of his own face.” All these points out to the same idea about a persons thoughts and how those thoughts changes his environment. May it be for better or worse. We are indeed the master and creator of our own lives, things come in the way but these are the obstacles that we have to deal. It maybe an obstacle or perhaps just another situation in our lives: )

I do have a little concern, I just remembered two incidents and I am not sure if that was the law of attraction or just a pure coincidence. The first one was about a friend of my mother. Her daughter was having a garden wedding, and during that time it was raining everyday. So they advised my mom’s friend that she should have a back up plan just in case it would rain. However she was so sure that it wouldn’t rain. She said she has been chanting for days. So the the wedding day came and guess what? Clear skies and no rain!!!!

The second incident was during my senior year in high school. We were going to have an exam in computer programming and I really really hated that subject. The exam is done by partners, and I was so glad to have a partner that was computer literate. On the day of the exam my worst nightmare came, because my partner got sick and was absent. OH such a horror!!!!!! I was really in deep deep trouble then because I know I wasn’t going to make it to that exam, so I was really hoping and thinking hard that there was going to be a power shortage during the computer period. So computer period came and we sat in our designated computers and suddenly the lights  and the computer turned off. A POWER SHORTAGE saved me!!!!!!

Now I do not know if these situations can be considered in the law of attraction, but whatever it is, through focus, we both got our end goal: ) It felt really good though.

So is the law of attraction real? I say, why not try it for yourself!!! What is the Law of Attraction formula? There are just a few basic steps.

1. Ask
You must be very clear on exactly what your desire is.

2. Source says YES!

3. Allow it

Focus on it.  Give it all your positive energy. Visualize it and raise your vibration about it. I think the most important thing is to  feel good! If this formula works for you, I would really love to hear your story, so please please e mail or leave me a message: )

Lastly if you have anything to say about this topic please feel free to leave comments , I do not seem to get any!!!! So you better leave a comment if you manage to read until this part: ) ahhahhahhaa cheers people!!!!!

REMINISCING

It’s been a long long time since I have written, not that I do not have time, because I do have all the time in the world , I am just extremely lazy I guess.  Right now, I am currently in a reminiscing mode, I have been for two days now. I listening to Cynthia Alexander now, a great artist from the Philippines that was greatly part of my college life and the years after that.

Cynthia Alexander

Those years were the most creative ones for me and it was beautiful. The experience , the journey,  and I  literally felt beautiful inside and outside: ) They say you are like illuminating.Those days were spent in places like the Conspiracy Garden Cafe, 70′s bistro , both of these are in Quezon City area and the last is in Saguijo, which is in Makati.  All of the these still exists but I personally love 70s Bisto and Conspiracy: )

I was with really wonderful people too during these time and they inspire me to be great everyday!!! I felt inspired , so high with emotions and creativity ( not with drugs ok). So heres the you tube link of the song I am  listening to.

This song was written by Maningning Miclat , a talented Filipina poet who wrote beautiful things. She died of suicide while I was still in college. If you speak Tagalog the song is below, if not then feel the music and you will understand. This song is by Joey Ayala , Cynthia’s brother.

Berso #2
ni Maningning Miclat

Dumaan ako sa tahimik na ilog,
Ang buong mundo ay parang natutulog
Kung may bunga mang sa tubig ay mahulog
Parang ang puso ko itong nadudurog.

Kung mag-isa ako huwag nang isipin
Sa dilim ay dapat pa akong hanapin
Habang may luha ay huwag pang ibigin
Sa pangarap ko ay huwag nang gisingin.

Kaya kong maghintay sa mga tula mo
Marinig sa awit ng kabilang dako
At tuklasin sa paglalakad na ito
Hamog at luha ng bulaklak at damo.

Mapapanood ang sayaw ng tutubi
Mapapakinggan ang ibong humuhuni
Hihinahon ang pusong di mapakali
At hihimlay na sa mapayapang gabi.

Dumaan ako sa tahimik na ilog,
Ang buong mundo ay parang natutulog
Kung may bunga mang sa tubig ay nahulog
Parang ang puso ko nga itong nadudurog.

When the stars are gone

What will you do when you no longer see the stars? This is probably one of the saddest thing that can happen to a person.

This entry is very close to my heart, although I know I never intended this blog to be something very personal. However I do not want to forget what I went through, besides writing is always a good therapy.

When I was 12, I went on a trip with my parents and my sister to Europe. Although the memories of that trip is like a dream now , I can still remember walking at night perfectly!!! Seeing stars and walking in that dark cobblestone alley in Sienna. These days I can no longer see stars.

That trip was quite memorable indeed, because I was that girl who was innocent of the world, and completely clueless of the future that was unfolding for me. A future that will not allow me to see stars, moon, mountains,  the sea and maybe even flowers, eventually.

This is such a sad reality. Many people may have thought that I just can’t see when its dark , but its more than that of course. I found out when I was 18 , a very very life changing news for any college student. I swore to myself that I will do the things that I want to accomplish. More importantly those were things that requires vision. I had a goal then, and I prayed and work really hard to reach them.

So I did reach some of those dreams, it was even crazy how I humbled myself just to go and see the world out there. All I know then was that , i can’t just get stuck. I do not have the luxury of time to just sit there. But now here I am sitting. Time flew and sometimes you forget who you are and your goals then. However , I may have made a wrong goal perhaps, I don’t know. Right now it’s just confusing. Last Friday I had a check up and I am not doing well. I am certainly not anxious of what’s going to happen in the future. I just wish it will never happen. I know I must prepare for the worst and the idea of that scares me.

Being here is also another thing. I miss home . my family and friends. I am really thankful for having such a wonderful husband, family and friends. Hmmmm ,I sound like a very sick woman,but I am in a way so I guess I am allowed to be like this. I just hope it doesn’t consume me though.

my apologies for not posting anything for the longest time, I have been trying my hand in making jewels again: ) I shall post pictures of the pictures soon. They are available for sale in Argentina only.

Apart from that, I just enrolled myself in a singing class!! Now I am really being Filipino: ) To all my friends, don’t be surprised this is just me trying another thing again!!!

Sechen Monk

The songs on this album is indeed very inspiring!! I swear I cannot stop listening to it. I think it is amazing how they came all together and blended in one beautiful song. It is a fact that music is a tool that unites people , no matter where you come from and whatever language you speak. I personally love a lot of songs that I don’t even understand, because there are things that does not need to be understood, you just have to feel it. When you feel it, no matter what language, then you will begin to understand: ) This is the power of music , it really transcends people to a higher plane.

The Inspiration

Playing for Change is a movement created to inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through music. The idea for this project arose from a common belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. No matter whether people come from different geographic, political, economic, spiritual or ideological backgrounds, music has the universal power to transcend and unite us as one human race.

For the love of Coelho

I would like to write a line that was in the book Alchemist by Coelho. Im doing that so I’ll be constantly reminded of those words. After all, it was those words that made me move and go to places, and follow what I wanted no matter how ridiculously hard it is.

King Melchizedek says to the shepherd boy Santiago: “When you want something, all the universe cospires in helping you to achieve it.”

I believe in destiny just like Coelho.

Another way to release tension.

- While I was doing some projects after fashion school, I found myself doing this a lot as I was completely lost many times and pressured with things. I often seek for tranquility and there were a lot of things in my head that I wasn’t aware of , which were all bottled up inside and got stuck in there. This is helpful for those who just got out in a relationship or currently in one but in an unsteady emotional state. I have recommended this to a few of my friends.  This is good if there are issues that you wish to solve with someone but you have no means to say it or face the person. Remember that this is not a tool for mental telepathy. This is just another way of reflection. I think that is why a lot of us has become stagnant because we never even bothered to calm down, think, and reflect with our life.  Keep in mind, that it is very important to connect with yourself.

To begin:

1. Clear your sorrounding.  A clean and orderly place gives a feeling of balance and looks easier on the eye because it’s not chaotic. It’s easier to think when a place is clean.

2. Set the mood. You can light a candle , incense or even put some oil essences. This will help you feel relax and aids you to calm down.

3. Put some music if you wish. Choose instrumental or something classical.

4. Make sure that you pick an area where no one can disturb you.

5. Put your phone on silent mode or turning it off is even better.

6. Sit in a position where you feel really comfortable. I usually do the Indian style position facing the candle and the incense so I can smell the scent in the air perfectly.

7. Take several deep breaths. Inhale and exhale. Inhale and exhale. Breathe slowly and deeply. Do this several times until you have completely calmed down. Feel the music and inhale the scented air.

8. Begin to think of the person you wish to talk to. Think and say everything you wish to by the use of your mind. Say everything that you wish to. Don’t stop and keep yourself from anything. We do not want baggage here. If you feel like crying, then cry all you want. Those tears will help you wash away all those pains that are stored within your being, your soul.

9. If you wish to do this as a way of relieving stress , then you must think of what you have done for the day. You can pray too as well if that would help. Sometimes when you simply pray without doing it properly, it doesn’t seem to ease you at all.

10. To end this , you might want to read an inspirational book.  Read poetry. For me I like  to read from pslams . I do it randomly. I read the first message that I see.

So take your time. No one is in a hurry here. Think, feel and transcend…

Don't be afraid to dream

On June 22, 2007, I wrote this for my friends and I am posting it again, because this always inspires me whenever I read it. I read this from a book called “I hope you dance” by Mark Sanders and Tia Sillers.

This is for those who are doing everything for their dreams and to those who haven’t thought about it. For the parents, think of your children. Give them wings, and let them fly. It’s worth it, believe me. Don’t get scared, leaving them on there is the best way to learn. My parents did so, and I have flown so far indeed: ) So think about this………

NEVER FEAR THOSE MOUNTAINS IN THE DISTANCE

It’s crossing your fingers when the map doesn’t make sense, when the compass doesn’t know truly north from truly lost; and it’s up to you, you and your gut, your mettle, and your level of resilience, and your wealth of wisdom to persevere. To get to the other side.

NEVER SETTLE FOR THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE

Take a chance, Take a ticket. Take a fast train to the coast. NO GUTS, NO GLORY. It’s risky breathing, let alone needing, trusting, reaching out. Life is the leap of faith, the bold declaration of Hope.
