Understand that each of us carry a distinct "field" of energy. This "field" impacts the portals of "possibility" that are available to us. The "field" energy works to ensure that if we remain stuck at a particular level of our development until we achieve an "eternal re-calibration" for ascent. This means that the same scenario/ lesson keeps manifesting before us waiting for us to learn its lesson and transcend on our journey.
The sages called this natural force "measure for measure", today it is popularized and often misunderstood as the "Law of Attraction". We resonate this "field" constantly, but do so in a more concentrated fashion whenever we are "passionate", and so the "field" becomes amplified with our positive and negative emotions. Positive passionate energies (like love, joy, fulfillment, self expression, creativity and empathy) open up portals for opportunity and giving, while negative passionate energies (like fear, anger, frustration, jealousy, lust, resentment etc.) close these new portals. The trick is to inhabit a positive frequency in heart, mind and speech. It may sound daunting but here are some exceptionally useful techniques .
(1.)
My favourite technique is gratitude.
Try to consistently become mindful of the things that bring you blessing or happiness. The day I applied this exercise I found the momentum of this technique to be so profound. I started off my day emitting gratitude and "recognition" for my basic pleasures and joys, my comfortable mattress, fresh morning juice, the happiness my pet fish brings, the lovely foliage outside etc. The key is to start momentum in one's mind to build towards a cadence of grace so that spirit has open portals to do its "magic". Don't be seduced by your analytical side and measure your progress, just flow in the series of expressions of grace that you transmit, and in short time you will awaken to bountiful opportunity.
In tandem with the "Gratitude technique", I highly recommend that you begin to be mindful of the music you listen to and ensure that it carries a frequency that is upbeat, positive and at harmony with your "graceful" state. I say this because music is a dynamic tool that instills passions and emotions and can be used as an effective inducer or visa-versa impediment for broadcasting the flow of "light" energy. This also applies to news and entertainment media that you listen to and read... these all have the ability to alter your "channel of resonance" and change your "field".
(2.)
Another helpful technique is visualization; each day, in a familiar quite and peaceful location, meditate to a place of "grounded" love for "All" and begin to visualize exactly the solution that you desire, the more details the better. In the same meditation begin to do the same for others you know who are in a similar bind, after this, visualize world harmony in way that depicts everyone prospering by following their innate gifts in a most productive and joyful fashion. It is essential to allow these techniques to change the dynamics of your "field" to the point where you begin to break repeated "critical" or "destructive" habits... and if applied "purely", in time they will.
(3.)
The most powerful technique is to award purpose to your current "trials".
What I mean by this is to brings proportion, cohesion and singular purpose to the chaos, fear and frustration you you draw into your "field" of perception. This is a very profound, ancient and sacred technique... there is great wisdom embedded in it.
King David wrote:
"It is good to offer thanks to the Divine
And to sing praise to the eternal name, most high
And relate your kindness in the morning
And your faithfulness in the night"
And to sing praise to the eternal name, most high
And relate your kindness in the morning
And your faithfulness in the night"
King David is offering the key insight for drawing light and resonating the bountifulness of "true love" onto one's "field". When things seem bright and easy (/day), you can continue to draw this momentum by focusing or reciting recognition of it. But, when things begin to appear trying and unclear (/night), you should instead offer up your loving trust to Source that what you are going through is part of a lesson in your ascension, and that you desire to forever internalize this lesson through "love" so that you will no longer need to be challenged in this particular way.
Like with lovers that drift apart, one best proves their faithfulness when things are not ideal. And so, it is easy to send your "love" to the Divine when things flow easily, but truly profound ascension occurs when you dedicate your "knowing love" at times of difficulty, as it is only in this way that the love can be said to be manifested as "true".
