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!!!!!

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.

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.

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.
