Gratitude Changes Everything: This Is How It Works!

Published

November 26, 2019

One of the most important Laws of the Universe is the law of Gratitude. Most people neglect it, and some are not even aware of its existence. But why is this law so important? And why do I say that gratitude changes everything? Simply because when it is violated, there is disharmony between your receiving and giving. Energy stops to circulate, begins to stagnate and eventually turns into a kind of “energy swamp”. And this “swamp” is the place where eventually begin to drown your dreams, well-being, health, success, and relationships. Your life begins to lose its brightness and gradually fades, turning into a routine.

In this article, I want to share with you why gratitude changes everything and how to practice it consciously.

What Does “Gratitude” Mean From the Energy Perspective?

In order for life to be bright and harmonious, constant circulation of energy is necessary. That is, the energy must be constantly in motion in order to bring into your life all the benefits that you need: romantic relationships, money, health, success and so on.

An “Energy swamp”, in turn, can only tighten inside all those goods, that you already have. But the problem is that by “sitting” in this “energy swamp” you’ll never be able to refresh your life with anything new. In other words, this “energy swamp” is keeping you away from your desired life and results.

The law of gratitude is an energy exchange that leads to the movement of energy in your life. When energy moves, it becomes as pure as a mountain river. This kind of energy flow always brings happiness, health, joy, love, and success in all endeavors.

How Can the Law of Gratitude Be Broken?

1. Sending negativity and dissatisfaction to the Universe

Many people, being in a bad mood, start expressing their dissatisfaction with life. They accuse God, Universe, and the Higher Powers of all the imperfection of the World. Instead of being grateful for what they already have, they complain about their belief and fate.

There are so many things in the world that we should be grateful for: the blue sky above our heads, the air we breathe, the beauty of the flowers, the purring of the kitten… and you can go on forever! Each of us can make a list of what gives him pleasure, a sense of joy and happiness.

However, in the daily hustle and bustle, people often stop noticing these gifts. They simply stop appreciating what they have and begin to take all these gifts from the Universe for granted.

Instead of always rushing somewhere in the bustle of everyday life, stop for a moment, look around, and you will find that you have many reasons to be grateful. Write down everything you are grateful for, read aloud what you have written, and in doing so, you will set the energy of your life in motion.

2. Not appreciating all the good things that people do for us

Very often we do not notice when other people do something for us. Or maybe we notice, but take it for granted. By doing so, we also violate the law of Gratitude.

Be as attentive as possible to what you get from other people, and always be ready to give something in return. When you give something back, you make the energy flow. When you take something for granted, you create an “energy swamp.”

Everyone determines for himself what he should give in return. It depends on how much you value the good you get from the other person. In any case, whatever you get, at least you need to say from the bottom of your heart: “Thank you!”.

I noticed that sometimes when people receive from me maybe not exactly what they expected they forget about gratitude. Instead of saying: “Thank you” they murmur: “why did you give me so little?” or “why don’t you give me exactly what I asked for?” and so forth. Karmically speaking, there is always a reason for everything. Even so-called “mistakes” or “unpleasant” experiences have a greater purpose. When we begin to understand this we are able to transform adversity into growth, thus giving ourselves another reason for gratitude. So accept everything with gratitude. After all, by thanking a particular person, you are thanking the Universe itself. The Universe, in turn, by grasping the observance of the law of Gratitude, will give you more and more benefits through other people.

3. Receiving spiritual knowledge “for free”

I noticed that many people believe that obtaining spiritual knowledge and initiations in any spiritual energy systems should be free, because the energies come from the Universe, and, accordingly, can not belong to anyone. In other words, according to these people’s point of view, spiritual knowledge should be shared free of charge. This worldview is a serious violation of the law of energy exchange – the law of Gratitude.

Turning to history, we will see that for centuries spiritual knowledge was not free and was not open to the masses. However, the fee was different. Instead of the money exchange, the service was used. In other words, students have always served their masters (or temples) for a certain amount of time before they even start their study. The students had to live with their masters for quite a long time in order to serve them and work in the Ashrams. This is how the law of exchange was obeyed back in the days.

Today this exchange is primarily done monetarily. The modern pace of life has led to the fact that modern man simply does not have time to serve the teacher. Instead, it is easier for him to Express his gratitude (in pursuance of the law of energy Exchange) with the help of money.

The desire of people to receive spiritual knowledge for free devalues this knowledge, which leads to a violation of the law of Gratitude. When we receive spiritual knowledge (which is essentially energy) in order to maintain a state of harmony, we must give something in return. The confusion around this law usually is around the idea that all spiritual knowledge should be free. In actuality, it is monetarily FREE to all who are willing to put in the time, energy and effort to discover these mysteries themselves through meditation and deep contemplation – self-discovery. It’s when you would like someone to teach, guide or assist you in transferring the knowledge they have gained at their own cost and no cost to you that this law becomes broken. In those cases when we do not do this, the Universe, observing the Law of energy Exchange, begins to fill this shortage itself, taking something from us in return, as an energy excess. The practice has confirmed that all those who received spiritual knowledge for free, in consequence, one way or another, paid for this knowledge through different kinds of “loss”.

4. Becoming a karmic debtor

When you getting something for free, breaking the law of exchange, you become a karmic debtor of the person who gave you something for free. Karmic debt forms energy bindings between the receiver and the giver, by which the giver takes the energy of the receiver. In other words, after receiving something for free, without expressing your gratitude, a person necessarily loses something in life. Moreover, these deprivations may concern not only the material sphere.

Thus, the Law of Gratitude says:

“When we get something, we have to give something back.”

The most important aspect in the transformation of consciousness is the ability not only to take but also to give.

How Do I Determine If You Are Breaking the Law of Gratitude?

For understanding, if you obeying or breaking the Law of Gratitude simply answer the following questions:

Do you have money problems?
Do you have any health problems?
Do you have a romantic relationship that completely satisfies you?
Do you have any difficulties in relations with people close to you (family)?
Do you feel lonely?

If you answered “Yes” to at least one of these questions, there are definitely violations of the law of Gratitude in your life. The brightest indicator that we don’t always obey the law of gratitude is us not being completely satisfied with our lives.

The Deeper Understanding of Gratitude

In order to come to the realization of gratitude, it is necessary to accept the following:

There is a single intelligent Matter from which everything emerged.
This Matter gives you everything you desire.
In order to interact harmoniously with this Matter, it is necessary to connect yourself with it with a sense of deep and heartfelt gratitude.

Many people believe that they do everything “right” in life, but at the same time, they sincerely do not understand why they remain poor, sick, lonely, unhappy, unlucky, etc. But the answer is very simple – due to a lack of gratitude.

Only through the prism of gratitude, can you see the wholeness beyond duality. While there is no gratitude, a person is always in a state of “limited potential”. It always seems to him that resources are limited, he always lacks something, he is constantly dissatisfied with something.

Any discontent is a sign of life in duality. Just think about this – how the “whole” can be unsatisfied or unhappy? The wholeness is everything, so how can it be in need for something? Only the particles that feel disconnected can be unsatisfied and unhappy, simply because they have forgotten their true nature. And the true nature of any particle is integrity.

The duality of perception of reality always tells us that resources are limited, we need to take as much as possible – because then something may not be enough. In our world, people push bully and “TAKE”! But to think that some benefits may not be enough – means to live in the illusion of limited opportunities. The reality is that Infinity has no boundaries. It will give you anything you want, as long as you unclench your fists and hold your hands. Don’t be greedy! Any good is enough for everyone! Do not skimp on gratitude, compliments, kindness, love, and compassion. Become an Endless source for other people! And then you will enter into a beautiful resonance with Infinity!

Ungrateful Mind Attracts Trouble

The meaning of gratitude is not only to bring you good in the future. Without gratitude, you will not be able to stay away from negativity for too long. Sooner or later there will come a time when you let your mind linger on discontent and you start to lose the ground under your feet. When you focus your attention on poverty, pity, mediocrity, pain, suffering, betrayal, etc. – your mind begins to form a negative reality. The Universe puts these images into the matter, which begins to take the form of poverty, pity, mediocrity, pain, suffering, betrayal, etc.

To allow your mind to linger on the negativity means you have agreed to the fact that the negativity has become your daily reality. Conversely, to fix your attention on the positivity means to agree to the fact that your reality has become positive and happy, and every moment of life becomes better than the previous one. The creative power within us brings us in line with the way we pay attention. We ourselves are made up of thinking matter, which always takes the form of what we think.

A grateful mind is always focused on the best. Thus, it takes the form and quality of all the best, and, accordingly, creates a happy reality. We attract what we express! And gratitude changes everything!

It Is Easier to Thank Than to Ask

Many people turn to God only when they need something. But the thing is, when we ask something from the Universe, we come from a state of need. When we replace the need with the abundance in our minds, we begin to shape an abundant life. Therefore, it is very useful to develop a habit of thanking instead of asking.

Next time you want to ask the Universe for something, instead thank the Universe as if you already have it. So you set in motion the realization of your intention to get what you want. And the effect of such an action will be much faster than when you ask for something based on a sense of need.

Conclusion

The positive mind never asks, it thanks! This is how the Law of Attraction works. We should learn how to stop feeling the need for something, and start noticing what we already have. Gratitude changes everything! It is not difficult to see. As soon as you start expressing gratitude you will feel happier, your life will be easier, and your problems will be solved without any effort. It may seem difficult to believe but this is how it works. Just bring the magical attitude of gratitude into your life and be ready for miracles to happen!

Published

December 26, 2019

Katya Ki

Abundance Haircuts is a little-known sutra which reveals negative consequences of cutting your hair on the bad days and incredible benefits of cutting it on the good days. Bad and good days for this sutra are based on the Tibetan Calendar. Dates of Abundance Haircuts are calculated according to extremely complex formulas by experienced Feng Shui Masters. Naturally, each year, depending on the stars and their position, these days change.

Most people in the Western world have never heard about abundance haircuts. While for Eastern people it’s not a new practice. Today I would like to introduce this Abundance haircut sutra and give you a special calendar for January with good and bad days for your haircuts. Pay attention to what day you’re picking for your next hair salon appointment – only choose good haircut days!

Why Is Hair So Important?

Since ancient times, people gave hair and any manipulation with them sacred meaning. It was thought, that through hair people can connect with the Universe. Hair serves as “antennas” and “guides” between our world and the world of Heaven. And so far this knowledge has not lost its relevance. Hair connects us with Higher forces, cosmic energy, God, Higher consciousness. By connecting through the hair to the Cosmos, a person is fed by the energies of Abundance and Health.

There were many beliefs associated with hair, some of them have survived to the present day. For example: in any case, you should not get a haircut by yourself, as in this case there is a deformation of your energy field, which can lead to poor health. It is also not recommended to get a haircut on the days of a lunar or solar Eclipse: the hair can suffer, weaken, lose shine and volume.

What Are “Abundance Haircuts”?

It has long been known that there are days when it is especially favorable to cut hair. Among these days there are days of “Abundance haircuts.”

Abundance haircuts is a special ritual to attract abundance flows into your life. It is good to say special affirmations and mantras for abundance and prosperity on this day. So you will strengthen the ritual haircut and make it more effective and efficient force.

On this day it would be beneficial to read the Lakshmi mantra:

OM HREEM SHREEM LAKSHMI BYO NAMAHA

Or Ganesh mantra:

OM SHRI GANESHAYA NAMAHA

It is also very beneficial to say positive affirmations like:

I deserve to be abundantly happy and healthy!
My abundance is constantly growing!
I always have money for everything I need!
Money comes to me easily and fast!
I’m grateful for my abundant life!

The Bottom Line

In the day of Abundance haircut is not necessarily radically change the hairstyle or cut long braids. It’s just enough to trim the tips. If you believe and surrender to this process with sincerity, good mood, and gratitude, the energy of cosmic abundance will surely enter your life. Take the chance to open your channel to the limitless flow of abundance!

Abundance Affirmations: A Powerful Tool For Creating Abundant Living

Published

December 23, 2019

Katya Ki

What we say and think shapes our reality and affects the quality of our life. When we repeat the same thought-form multiple times it gets concentrated into a powerful force of intention. Therefore, affirmations are one of the most effective tools for manifesting your desired life. In this article, I will share with you my collection of the most powerful and effective abundance affirmations that can significantly change the quality of your life for better. The key is to be consistent with your practice since the reprogramming of the subconscious mind takes time and patience.

What Is Abundance?

So, what is abundance? Money? Successful business? Love? A large circle of friends? A big and happy family? Each of us has his/her own understanding of abundance. But its essential meaning is that you are solidly happy with who you are and no external event or situation – whether good or bad – can add or subtract from that happiness.

Our perspective about the world we live in is also very subjective. Some people believe that the world is a cruel place where only the strongest survive therefore their life looks like a constant fight for survival. But there are others who believe that the world is a wonderful abundant place where everything is enough for everyone. These people believe that all you need to do is to learn how to distribute endless benefits of the Universe and remember to notice the abundance in everything! Interestingly, in both cases, people find confirmation of their own beliefs.

Reality is subjective because it depends on the thought forms that influence our minds. It is our thoughts that shape our reality. And if you believe that life is a constant fight for survival you will find plenty of evidence that proves this, since your thoughts make life this way. Oppositely, if you believe that life is abundant you’re making it this way with your thoughts. Therefore, you will find lots of confirmation of your own beliefs. This is how we all can co-exist in the same world but see it from different angles.

Whether you believe in the abundance that surrounds us or not, the Universe always says “yes” to you and supports your beliefs.

How Do Abundance Affirmations Work?

Affirmations are positive statements that program your subconscious mind to fulfill all your desires. In accordance with this program, joyful and happy desired events will gradually enter into your life.

Most people can’t even imagine how effective affirmations are! Affirmations are your main key to reprogramming your consciousness. That’s why the trick is to keep repeating them again and again until they are firmly imprinted in your subconscious.

With the help of abundance affirmations, you can reprogram your mind from lack and competition to abundance and cooperation. If you learn to direct the energy of your thoughts to abundance and infinite possibilities you will eventually start attracting abundance into your life whether it money and success or love, health, peace, and harmony.

How To Practice Abundance Affirmations?

In abundance affirmation practice, the key to success is your consistency! Read the abundance affirmations in the morning immediately after waking up and in the evening right before going to bed.

I discovered that the abundance affirmations work better when you’re reading them in front of the mirror looking directly in your eyes.

It is very important to combine reading the affirmations with your emotions. Use your own emotions to make the affirmation practice more powerful. You can even add moves and gestures. Your goal is to convince yourself that what you are saying is true! Therefore, use whatever helps you to achieve this goal.

However, if you are reading the affirmations without being convincing, your consciousness will never get the message. Remember that your entire body should work when you are practicing abundance affirmations!

Repeat the affirmations as many times as you want. However, I prefer to use the magic number 8! 8 is a symbol of infinity. Therefore, when you’re repeating the affirmation 8 times it is considered to be repeated an infinite number of times.

Abundance Affirmations

Here is the list of my favorite abundance affirmations.

I am open and receptive to all the wealth life offers me!
Every day I am attracting more and more abundance into my life!

I am increasingly magnetic to health, wealth, abundance, prosperity, and money!
I have an abundance mindset!

I live in an abundant universe!

I LOVE the whole Universe and the whole Universe LOVES me! I feel it!
I’m in LOVE and I am LOVED! I live in peace and harmony!
I am happy in LOVE!

The Bottom Line

The most important thing in affirmation practice is to change negative thoughts to positive. In abundance affirmation practice, we are changing our thoughts about the lack of abundance to thoughts about infinite abundance whether it’s related to money, love, creativity or success. It is especially important to remember this not only during your affirmation practice but also in your everyday life. Remember that even a fleeting negative thought can destroy months of positive affirmation practice! Choose your thoughts carefully!

Feng Shui Christmas Tree Placement Rules for Abundance and Happiness

Published

3 months ago

December 10, 2019

Katya Ki

Christmas is just around the corner, so it’s time to decorate your Christmas tree! You might be asking, what’s so special about the Christmas Tree placement? Why do we need to use Feng Shui Christmas tree placement rules in this simple action we’ve done so many times before? The thing is that a Christmas tree with bright decorations, garlands, and lights is a powerful source of Yang energy. When we place a Christmas tree in a certain sector, we activate the energy of this sector.

From an astrological point of view, each sector can be a source of positive or negative energy. And if a Christmas tree gets into a sector with negative energy, this energy gets activated and attracts all kinds of problems into your life. If the tree gets into the sector with positive energy, it gives the opposite effect – you attract luck, abundance, and well-being. All these astrological subtleties are calculated by Feng Shui masters.

Everything is important in Feng Shui Christmas tree placement: where the Christmas tree will be placed, how active will the room be where you place it, what color you choose for its decoration, what date and time you choose to install the Christmas tree. In short, each seemingly insignificant detail can have a huge impact on the energy of the house.

In this article, I will not delve into the complex Feng Shui formulas but instead, I will give you practical tips on how to activate the positive energy of your home and avoid the activation of negative energy.

Why Is It So Important Where the Christmas Lights Are?

In terms of Feng Shui, there are two kinds of energy — Yin and Yang. Yang energy is active and live. If the Yang energy fills the favorable sector of your home, it activates the flow of positive energy and attracts good luck to you. For example, you can suddenly get a bonus, your salary can be raised, you may come up with a new great idea, etc.

However, if the Yang energy gets into the unfavorable sector, it activates all kinds of failures of your life – you can lose money, health, happiness, peace, and you can quarrel with loved ones, etc.

Following Feng Shui Christmas tree rules, will help you to attract good luck and improve your life.

Where to Place the Christmas Tree and What Decorations to Use In December 2019?

Energy changes every year. Therefore, the following recommendations were created by taking into account the energies of December 2019.

In order to determine which sector to put the Christmas tree in, you need to have a Bagua map of your house. If you still don’t have a Bagua map and don’t know what it is read my article “The Feng Shui Bagua Map”.

So, here are the main Feng Shui Christmas tree placement recommendations!

Which Sector to Choose According to the Feng Shui Christmas Tree Placement Rules?

Northwest sector of your house or Northwest corner of your living room

You can use blue, white, and gold decorations for the tree in this sector.

Do not hang Christmas lights in the Northwest sector of your house!

There should be no activity in this sector. It should be a quiet and peaceful place. No loud noise is allowed here. Fire is especially unfavorable here (it can provoke poisoning, diseases, and inflammation). Do not light candles, do not use red decorations, do not hang Christmas lights in the Northwest sector of your house or the Northwest corner of your living room.

North sector of your house or North corner of your living room

If you decided to place your Christmas tree in the North sector, then make sure not to use Christmas lights for its decoration here. You can use blue and green decorations.

South sector of your house or South corner of your living room

South sector is a bad place for your Christmas tree this year! So it’s better if you place your Christmas tree somewhere else. If for some reason it’s impossible then, at least, make sure that you are not using Christmas lighs in this sector. Use white and silver decorations for your tree.

Southwest sector of your house or Southwest corner of your living room

It’s not a good sector for placing a Christmas tree this year. If it’s possible try to find another place for your tree. If it’s impossible then make sure not to use any Cristmas lights in this sector. It’s important to keep this sector peaceful and quite. No loud noise is allowed here.

Southeast sector of your house or Southeast corner of your living room

If you decided to place your Christmas tree in the Southeast sector, then use blue and green Christmas decorations. This colors will attract new opportunities, good luck, and prosperity!

East sector of your house or the East corner of your living room

It is the best place for a Christmas tree in this sector this year! If it’s possible make sure to use this amazing opportunity to activate your good luck! By placing a Christmas tree here you are activating prosperity, money flow, and harmony for the entire family.

For performing this activation, hang the Christmas lights and colorful decorations on your Christmas tree! Don’t forget to say your intention to activate your prosperity luck before you start decorating your Christmas tree. Also, if you want to triple the power of this activation, say outloud money affirmations while decorating your Christmas tree!

West sector of your house or West corner of your living room

It’s not the best sector for placing a Christmas tree this year. If you can’t place your Christmas tree anywhere else then make sure to use white, gold, silver or blue decorations here.

Northeast sector of your house or Northeast corner of your living room

It is favorable to use blue, white, silver, or gold decorations in this sector.

Central part of your house or center of your living room as your Christmas tree placement

It’s one of the best places for the Christmas tree in December 2019. If you place the Christmas tree here you will attract good luck, good opportunities, recognition, fame, good communication, prosperity, wisdom. To activate this auspicious energy you need to decorate your Christmas tree with Christmas lights and yellow, gold, silver, or white Christmas decorations.

When to Set the Christmas Tree?

The date and time you decided to set your Christmas tree also play a big role. There are four favorable dates in December when you can do it:

December 7th: 7 am-9 am; 1 pm-3 pm (GMT)
