Your Daily Dose of Gratitude ~ Day 567

Gratitude For Your Life In General

-------------------------------------------------

In the relatively new field of positive psychology, researchers are studying the science of thankfulness . In The Psychology of Gratitude, Dr. McCullough of the University of Miami and Dr. Emmons of the University of California at , show how participating in regular, deliberate appreciation improves almost everything. By having their research participants keep weekly or daily gratitude journals and practicing self-guided exercises, the researchers discovered their participants slept better, exercised more, increased positive emotions, had more rhythmic heartbeats, progressed toward personal goals more quickly, and helped others more often.

Psychology has generally ignored the positive emotions, says Dr. Emmons. Gratitude research is beginning to suggest that feelings of thankfulness have tremendous positive value in helping people cope with daily problems, especially stress, and to achieve a positive sense of self. The work of Dr. Darren Weissman, author of The Power of Infinite Love and Gratitude, supports Emmons findings and applies them directly to physical health. Weissman's search for healing modalities that actually heal patients lead him around the world to study a wide variety of techniques.

A well-known figure in alternative healing circles, Weissman eventually presented at two World Congresses of Alternative Medicine. However he intuitively knew that there was something missing. Then, working with a deaf chiropractic student, he stumbled across a key. His friend signed the universal symbol for I love you and Weissman felt the energetic impact of the symbol on his own body. After some testing, he realized that signing the symbol actually caused weak reflex muscles in the body to strengthen. Now Weissman has developed something called the LifeLine Technique which integrates and transcends all the techniques he already knew and practiced. But the glue and foundation of the LifeLine Technique is the power of infinite love and gratitude. (Karol Avalon) - www.bleepingherald.com/jan2007/gratitude

Cherishing Your Challenges & Challengers

---------------------------------------------------------------

Recognize the opportunities that cross our paths. Every day, we're given the opportunity to be tolerant of another belief system, to forgive someone who has hurt or angered us, to reconcile our own judgments about what should or should not be in our world. If we can reconcile these things as they cross our paths and consciously deal with them in the moment, then we know we're changing the chemistry of our bodies by changing the way we feel, and are thus preparing ourselves for whatever transitions the earth is going to go through. (Gregg Braden)

Cherishing The Moments

------------------------------------

Infinite riches are all around you if you will open your mental eyes and behold the treasure house of infinity within you. There is a gold mine within you from which you can extract everything you need to live life gloriously, joyously, and abundantly. (ph )

Gratitude For Who You Are

----------------------------------------

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world. (Lucille Ball)

What We Say, Be, & See – We Become

------------------------------------------------------------

The best way to predict the future is to invent it. (Alan Kay)

Neutralizing Negativity & Preferring Positivity

----------------------------------------------------------------

The time between the conception of the idea and the achieving of the vibrational harmony between the idea and the manifestation, is the shortest that we've ever seen and getting shorter all the time. It is much easier to have a thought, get a manifestation, and then make the association that the thought caused the manifestation, when the buffer of time is shorter. And so, that is our strongest message to you here today: We want you to begin to be infinitely aware of the signal that you are offering. Everything is about vibration. Physical beings sometimes are uncomfortable talking about vibration. They say, "Abraham, never mind vibration. Tell me what to do." And we say, "All right. Vibrate. Vibrate on purpose." (Abraham through Esther Hicks) - www.abraham-hicks.com

Kindness Is The Greatest Way To Display Your Gratitude

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Being in a state of unconditional love allows your higher self to join you on the physical plane. (The Brotherhood of Light through Edna G. el) - www.beyondreiki.com

The Daily Phrase Of Praise

----------------------------------------

(1) Apply this "phrase of praise" to all the nouns you encounter throughout your day. Write it on a piece of paper & keep it where you'll repeatedly see it & it'll re-mind you to remember to "spend your days in praise." You will feel yourself filling up with the energy of gratitude as you consistently use this phrase throughout your day. Fill your nows with "wows" by routinely using this phrase of praise.

I highly value all of my ????

(2) Use this "phrase of praise" as a mantra in the "nows" throughout your day. Concentrate on your breath as you visualize filling up with the essence of this phrase and then breathe out and imagine releasing all that is NOT who you truly are – returning it to Source with gratitude, for all the lessons attained and the many strengths gained from the polarity initiation process of its passing presence as a chapter in your life. Now breathe in your next chapter, breathe in this "phrase of praise," turn the page and let it in.

<Breathe in> I highly value <Breathe out>
