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!!!!!

Mind your manners Part II

Posting the article on table setting and etiquette, made me realized that people really do read blogs these days. Most of the comment I got are from other countries, which is very interesting to me.

After writing those posts, I confess that I found myself noticing other people more. This is very bad, but sometimes I really can’t help it, especially if they start to speak in Spanish and I don’t understand anything anymore. Instead it made me think of that article , and relating it to how people behaved.  This is the second part of that post. Again, forgive me if I might be mocking sometimes, I don’t mean to really. I apologize if I am hurting anyone who reads this. It just makes me think that we are supposed to be very civilized with all the progress that the world is doing, and yet it is not working for others even with all the available information on the internet. I am not an expert on these things, that’s why I do research too. While I write these I am learning as well, and reminding myself of the rules and guidelines that I already know.  So now I shall begin with the continuation of my first article.

Further etiquette on dining:

Cleaning your teeth

-  One evening in a restaurant, I observed this couple on another table. The man seems to court the girl.  Usually at this stage, both parties try to impress each other. Then suddenly I saw the girl cleaning her   teeth with her fingernails!! Sometimes others can do this without being too obvious but this was another case. It was really obvious. I must say I felt sorry for both of them.

So what should one do if this happens? In this situation, excuse yourself and go to the bathroom and clean your teeth there. Also applying make up should be done in washroom as well and not on the table.

Removing the bone

-  Accidentally eating a bone from fish, chicken or simply something unpleasant, is common for most of us. So to take it out and move the bone with your tongue and place it on the fork, and place it on the side of your plate. As this is not accepted in some countries, you can also use your napkin in place of the fork. Try to do it as discreetly as possible.  To be safe, if I am in a restaurant, I order something that is easier to eat. Like a boneless chicken, or some pasta so I don’t have to worry about eating bones.

The bread

-  I was twelve when I first visited Spain. During the meal, I saw that they placed the bread on the table. No bread baskets, no plates, nothing. That was the first time I have seen something like that. Another culture and another manner of eating. Now that I am here in Argentina, it is the same thing. The bread is placed on the table again. I honestly, don’t mind that much since that is their tradition but there is one thing that annoys me, “the crumbs”. It’s really annoying to have all those crumbs all over the table and especially if you are the one who is cleaning up.

In formal dining, bread is served on a plate or in a basket. Break the bread into smaller pieces, just enough for a bite or two.  You use your fingers to do the breaking. You butter the piece you just pulled and then eat it. DO NOT butter the whole piece of  bread all at once and much more eating it directly as a whole. Don’t think of it as a burger!!!

The Seasoning

-  My husband always mentioned that a lot of the people here in Argentina put salt on their food without even tasting it first. I guess that must have been a habit for them to do so. However it is quite absurd to add salt without even knowing if it really lacks salt. Perhaps the food is already salty!!! So, it is just right to try your food first before adding anything.

Mobile Phones

-  It is very impolite to call, text or play with your phone on the table. It’s better to put in on silent mode. If the call is really important excuse yourself and step outside to take your call.

Talking and the elbows

-  This will be last and my favorite among all. I am sure that your very own mother or your teacher said this at some point.  “Do not talk when your mouth is full”!!! The other one is “Keep elbows off the table”!!!
