Gratitude Changes Everything: This Is How It Works!

Published

October 16, 2018

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

April 29, 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 May 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!

How to Activate Your Money Chakra?

Published

April 24, 2019

Katya Ki

The higher the level of your energy, the more effectively you will solve all the issues and problems in your life, including within the financial sphere. One of the most effective ways to increase your energy potential is to take steps to harmonize your main energy centers – chakras. In this article, I will share with you how you can activate abundance energy by tuning into your money chakra.

Chakras and Money

We all know that we have seven main chakras. So which of these chakras is the money chakra? My answer may surprise you, but it is that all chakras are money chakras.

All chakras should be tuned harmoniously in accordance with certain vibrations.

You can see that there are no primary and secondary chakras. And what chakras to work with for improving your financial situation depends on what your difficulties and questions in the field of making money are.

Let’s talk in detail about each money chakra.

Root (Muladhara) Chakra

You should consider working with Muladhara as the money chakra, if you:

can’t escape from the feeling of scarcity of anything;
feel a total inability to cope with life challenges;
if you are exposed to the fears of the level of survival, such as to lose money, house, the main source of income, stability, etc;
if you are attached to the material possessions;
do not feel support in life and get lost in difficult situations;
if you are a “dreamer” who has many plans and ideas, but nothing comes to life;
want to find support and financial stability.

I always recommend people with financial difficulties to start work on chakra balancing with the Root chakra. This chakra is primarily responsible for the energy of life, procreation and survival issues: health, money, and also helps to find support and stability.

How to tune in to the Root money chakra?

Develop self-discipline, keep promises, plan everything and follow your plans. This will give you a sense of your strength and the ability to cope with life.

To learn more about Muladhara balancing techniques read my article “11 Powerful Techniques For Root Chakra Healing”.

Sacral (Svadhisthana) Chakra

You should consider working with the Sacral money chakra if money for you is primarily a question of:

easy and spontaneous self-realization;
the ability to enjoy making money;
the ability to distinguish what you like;
abundance mindset;
the ability to enjoy life in general.

The energy of this center is directed to your feelings and emotions. You make decisions out of certain feelings, and you do the appropriate actions.

If you deeply feel your own value and are connected to your Higher self, if you can afford to have what you want, you will perform more harmonious actions in terms of making money.

How to tune in to the Sacral money chakra?

Start with simple things – practice deep belly breathing, relaxation; dance freely expressing yourself.

Engage in Qigong, Tai Chi or other Eastern energy practices – they help to make your Sacral chakra stronger.

More information on how to balance your Sacral chakra you can find in my article “8 Simple Tips On How To Harness the Power Of Your Sacral Chakra”.

Manipura (Solar Plexus) Chakra

Manipura chakra is responsible for your realization in society.

You should consider working with your Manipura money chakra if thinking about how to improve your finances makes you:

doubt your ability to “present yourself”, cooperate and influence people;
suffer from low self-esteem and self-doubt;
feel shackled by fears associated with what other people think about you;
constantly recall your past mistakes and be afraid of new ones;
feel fear of competition and conflict;
feel insignificant and weak compared to others.

Manipura chakra is the center of your personal power. It is responsible for what can be called “magnetism” and “charisma”, for the ability to express your talents in useful ways.

The Solar plexus is the center of the power that allows us to be influential and earn money through social realization and success.

How to tune in to Manipura?

The simplest way to do it is to learn to relax your Solar plexus area. It will help you to remove the blocks that affect its activity.

Follow the practice of abdominal breathing – it relaxes the diaphragm and allows the energy to flow more freely. At the same time, it is good to visualize the sunlight inside. This practice will fill your Solar plexus chakra with energy.

Act with high intention. Personal power can be used both for the good and for the harm of others. Consciously choose to act in a way that is beneficial for others and creative.

It is also good to use other techniques of Solar plexus chakra balancing that I described in my article “8 Ways To Balance Your Solar Plexus Chakra For Success In Life”.

Anahata (Heart) Chakra

You should consider working with your Heart money chakra if you:

can easily do everything for free, and it’s hard for you to ask for money for your work;
feel that you have stopped “growing” and can not reach the next level at work, in relationships, in the financial sphere;
you are in a mental prison of resentments and disappointments of the past, and can not let it all go to move forward;
you are often in a pessimistic mood and lack of enthusiasm;
try to embody the rules and expectations of your parents or stereotypes of society, but you do not know your own truth and your own way.

How to tune in to Anahata?

All the techniques you will find in my article “12 Powerful Ways To Heal Your Anahata”.

Vishuddha (Throat) Chakra

You should consider working with your Throat money chakra if you:

have a creative job;
want to solve your professional tasks creatively;
feel tense in situations where you need to “declare yourself”, to prove yourself;
find it difficult to negotiate and communicate with people;
want to learn to speak (including public speaking in front of a large audience), to be heard and to influence people;
want to be the “Creator” of your own life and make the right choices.

At the level of the Throat chakra, your personality is created. This is the chakra of creativity and self-realization in the broadest sense, and, of course, in relation to career and making money.

How to help abundance energy to be manifested through the Throat chakra?

Practice your voice! Sing, read aloud, learn to express your thoughts aloud, learn to talk constructively about your feelings, try your hand at public speaking.

Work to act in your life from a position of true responsibility – as the author and Creator of your life.

You will find more techniques on how to work with your Throat chakra in my article “Throat Chakra Healing”.

The Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra

You should consider working with the Third eye money chakra if you don’t have:

the ability to hear the voice of your intuition;
a vision for the future;
the ability to foresee the consequences;
a good intuition.

How to awaken your intuition?

To attract money energy intuition is a very important attribute. Therefore you should develop your intuitive abilities and learn how to balance your feelings and your logic.

You will find powerful techniques on how to activate your Third eye chakra in my article “Best Techniques For Your Third Eye Chakra Activation”.

Sahasrara (Crown) Chakra

You should consider working with your Crown money chakra if it’s important for you:

to feel the connection between your decisions and actions in the financial sphere and more subtle and “high” matters – spirituality and the meaning of life;
to learn to see in the events of the material world the manifestations of deeper processes from the sphere of energies and spirituality.

Sahasrara chakra is responsible for your connection with the cosmos and spirituality.

How to tune in to Sahasrara?

All meditations and spiritual practices will help you to tune in to your Crown chakra. For more techniques read my article “Crown Chakra Blockage Symptoms And Ways To Heal It”.

The Bottom Line

When working on attuning yourself with abundance energy, do not forget that chakra balancing is only half the battle. The second half is how you realize this energy in practical actions you take every day.

Simple Ritual To Cleanse Your House Of Negative Energy

Published

1 month ago

April 8, 2019

Katya Ki

Every time we host negative people, every time we swear, get sick, or have a bad mood, our house gets filled with negative energy. That’s why it is very important to cleanse the energy of your house after having guests (because you never know what hidden thoughts people you host have about you), after arguing, being sick, experiencing negative emotions, etc.

In this article, I want to share with you my favorite ritual that will help you cleanse your house of negative energy. It calls “9 Oranges”. This ritual is very easy to perform but the result of it is just amazing! The atmosphere in the house becomes so joyful that you immediately feel your mood is improved, and you want to sing and dance!

Let’s get it started, shall we?

9 oranges ritual for cleansing of negative energy image

For performing “9 Oranges” ritual you will need:

Nine oranges. You may ask “why 9?” In the East, 9 represents the properties of power, and means “for a long time.”
Large bowl
100 grams of brandy, whiskey, vodka or gin
A fresh bouquet of flowers bought (or picked) specifically for cleansing the space. Actually, we will need 3 bouquets total for sequential replacement of faded ones.

Preparation For The Ritual

Before you start performing the ritual, it is necessary to tune in. It is important that you are not distracted or disturbed. Sit down, close your eyes, breathe slowly.

Intention

Now you need to set your intention. Without your intention, it will not work! Your intention should come from your heart. Think about the results you want to achieve and focus your attention on your final goal.

I like to use this intention:

“I am cleansing the energy of my house from any negativity, and filling it with the energy of love, light, joy, happiness, and health for my Highest good and for the Highest good of all people living in this house!”

Say your intention 3 times.

Mantra

After setting your intention it’s time for filling it up with energy. This mantra will help you to do just that:

GATE GATE PARAGATE PARASAM GATE BODHI SVAHA

Chant this mantra 108 times.

Ritual “9 Oranges”

Wash and dry wipe 9 oranges. Peel them off. Add all orange skins to the bowl, pour cold water over them and add 100 ml of alcohol. The magic potion is ready!

Take your bouquet and put it in the center of the house.

Take your “magic potion”. Stand on the threshold of the house and ask for blessings from the Universe, God, or the Guardians (depends on who you believe in). Tell your gratitude. And focus on the process of cleansing, and on your intention.

Now start to move counterclockwise around the house, splashing the “magical potion” everywhere. Try to do it everywhere, including the bathroom. Cheerfully sprinkle water and oranges’ skin everywhere and chant the mantra:

OM MANI PADME HUM

or your favorite prayer while you’re doing it.

At the end of the ritual, stand again to the front door, face your home and imagine how you and the house are filled with bright positive energy of love and light.

After the ritual, you express gratitude to your “magical potion” and pour the rest of it out.

Now it’s time to open all the windows in the house, letting new fresh positive energy to enter your house.

Leave the orange skins that you threw on the floor during the ritual for 24 hours without touching them. After 24 hours you should collect all of them and put them in the ground.

Wipe all the windows and mirrors in the house with a clean soft cloth, chanting the mantra:

DURUPANG TIMAPANG

After the ritual, it would be very good to take a bath with sea salt. It will help you to cleanse your physical body. When you soak in salty water, imagine how all the problems and negativity are leaving your body and dissolve in water.

Do not forget that you should change the flowers 2 times (you should use 3 bouquets total). As soon as one bouquet fades, you should throw it away and buy (or pick) a new one. Never keep dry flowers in the house – they spread the negative energy of illness and death!

Conclusion

This is one of my favorite ways of cleansing the house of negative energy. In addition, it attracts prosperity and wealth to the house. The benefits begin immediately! Just try it!

The peeled oranges can be eaten;-)
