How to Double the Positive in Your Life
How to DOUBLE or even TRIPLE all the positive in your life with the Law of Increase
Do you think the Universe is conspiring against you? There to actively help and support you? Or just a lump of indifferent matter?
Dear Reader
An idea that has really caught my imagination and put a new spring in my step this week (a much needed spring this morning as I ran back up past the daffodils in the park after a half an hour run) is the idea that the Universe itself is actually a conscious entity that wants to help and support us.
Now when most of us think of the universe we think of it as just a huge mass of stuff. At worse, some people actually think that the world is conspiring against them.
According to the author of the book I’ve been reading called ‘Are Your Ready to Succeed?’, however, if you want to enjoy a great life to the full, then it is far better and more magically effective to think of it this way:
“The Universe is a conscious entity that is intimately intertwined with you and not separate from you. It wants to give you what you desire, and you can influence it.”
So how do we go about creating a good relationship with this Universe and use the magic of this connection to make things happen?
It’s all about the Law of Increase: “Whatever you are truly grateful for and appreciate will increase in your life.”
Suspend your scepticism, give it a try, and watch the magic happen...
Now, as Srikumar Rao points out, you may be somewhat sceptical about this idea. He himself had spent years of his adult life pooh-poohing all the advice his own Indian mother had given him about the benevolence of the Universe so he understands the resistance. But if you will just give it a try then you may be converted when you see how good the results can be.
Most of us, most of the time, tend to take most of the positive things in our life for granted. Our mind doesn’t spend many seconds of the day feeling gratitude for the meal on the table, the animals in our life, our friends, our family, or the enjoyment we get from the beautiful colours of the flowers and the sky.
Unfortunately, what our mind seems to spend a lot of time focusing on instead is the things we’d like to have in or happen in our lives but don’t.
Try these two activities for a few weeks and wait for the results
There are two actions that Rao suggests to invite the power of the Law of Increase into your life.
First of all, every night before you go to sleep, spend five or ten minutes thinking about things that have gone right in your life today. Think of all the many ways in which you are fortunate and what you are grateful for. This can be anything from the fact that you have somewhere safe to sleep tonight or that you have a sharp mind… to the fact that the surgery luckily had an appointment for you this morning, or that you just got a pay increase in your job.
“Let a deep feeling of appreciation and gratitude well up in you. Allow this feeling to surface. Permit it to take hold of you, to envelop you. Broadcast it out as a silent statement of who you are.”
And remember, everything you express this gratitude for will increase in your life. It may also make you sleep better!
Turn hate into love… indifference into warmth
Next, says Rao, once you’ve been doing the night thing for a while, start expressing feelings of gratitude throughout the day. Allow your gratitude to well up inside of you and use your body to express it. Feel what effect this gratitude has on your heart and your face and the spring in your step…
He also recommends that you start spreading this feeling of happy gratitude towards other people. Whenever you have an exchange with a colleague, an acquaintance or just a stranger on the bus, silently wish that person every happiness possible.
“Really look at the person to whom you are speaking. Observe the face, the expression, the body language. Wish him or her well silently. Sincerely.”
My own guilty secret
I can reveal to you now that when I read all this about gratitude I had been going through a few days of feeling somewhat low. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course. What I was responding to certainly warranted a bit of reflection and processing before I could come out the other side smiling. Because there WILL be ups as well as downs in our life as a matter of course.
What I discovered, however, was that just from reading this section about the Law of Increase and gratitude, I immediately started to feel better.
Feeling gratitude is something I try to remember to do already but it’s amazing how easy these things can slip at times of most need!
When I started thinking about all the things I should be grateful for, I confess that I did feel rather guilty that I was being so ungrateful about my life. It may not be perfect, but then you always need something to work towards…
Best wishes for another week
