DOING THE WORK
GETTING CLEAR
It can be difficult to get clear about what you do want until you clear out what you don't want.
Unfortunately, we can become so focused on what we don't want that we obscure what we truly desire. This week our work is about getting clear.
CALLING IN
THE GOOD
Using a sheet of lined paper complete the following statement 9 times.
"I don't want:
_________________________.
Instead I choose: _________________________"

Opportunities, relationships, even
money flowed my way when I
learned to be grateful no matter
what happened in my life.
Oprah Winfrey
Gratitude means giving thanks from your heart. When you do this, energy flows from your heart and activates certain responses from other people as well as the Universe. If you pay lip-service to gratitude or feel you ought to be thankful, you words and thoughts do not draw the same response.
. . . When you send out heartfelt thanks to the Universe for the blessings you have received, the divine energy lovingly responds by giving you even more blessings.
Heartfelt gratitude is a key to abun- dance. It unlocks the great resources of the Universe.
Diana Cooper
A Little Light on the Spiritual Laws
Thank you is the bridge from where you are now, to the life of your dreams. . . . When you understand that the Universe is within you, and by its very nature it is for you wanting you to have more life, more health, more love, more beauty, and more of everything you want . . . then you will feel genuine Gratitude to the Universe for everything you receive in your life and you will have established a personal relationship between you and the Universe!
. . . The more genuine Gratitude you feel toward the Universe for everything you receive the closer your relationship becomes with the Universe. In that moment you can reach the level of unlimited abundance from the Magic of Gratitude.
Rhonda Byrne,
The Magic

FIND YOUR CENTER AND STAY IN IT
Dear God:
Today, I ask and make myself available for You to be the governor in the capital of my mind, my heart and my life.
Martial Arts teach that you must find your center and strengthen your core. It is a process of focusing on your breath and following it down into the core of your being, about two inches above your navel. Once you find your center, a Martial Arts Master will instruct you to breathe into your center and stand in the energy of it. Whether or not you have ever taken a Martial Arts class, if you are breathing, you can find your center. Centering yourself several times a day gives you more energy. It takes the focus from your thoughts and places it in the core of your being.
Your core is the seat of your power. Your core is what grounds you in life and gives you the energy needed to transform yourself and whatever experience you are facing. When you are centered, you can be more authentic, more spontaneous and stress free because outer strength comes from inner strength.
Imagine that at the core of your being, the center of your "self" there is an all-knowing, ever- present, unconditionally loving presence. Give it a color. Now imagine, that this presence is strong, willing, accessible and available to support, guide and strengthen you any moment it is recognized and invited to do so.
Once you capture that picture in your mind, close your eyes, take a breath and relax. As you are breathing, capture this thought in your mind, "God I trust you." Then, breathe again and repeat the same thought. Feel the energy. Feel the peace. You are now centered and prepared to move into your day ready to face whatever comes your way.

. . . gratitude is more than a word or a gesture. Being truly grateful for the gift of life must be an experience.
We must learn to experience gratitude as an experience of being alive. When we become grateful to this degree we will begin to notice the small things.
Gratitude is a state of consciousness. It is an experience of living in a state of joy.
Gratitude is like a magnet that attracts more of it to itself; the more grateful you are, the more you will receive to be grateful for.
Electricity does not care if you believe in it or not. When you want to experience light in a dark room, the only requirement is that you flip the switch. The electric current moving through the wires does not care if you like it, if you know how it works, if you believe in its power. . . . Life works the same way. It does not care if you like it. Life is not concerned about convincing you that it is good or abundant. Life will not stop because you do not believe in it. And whether you believe in life or not, you will not rust or fall apart if you stand still for five years. The only requirement for you to live a full and valuable life is for you to flip the switch, to make the connection. Gratitude is the connection between who and what you are and the full magnificence of life.
