Interview With Masaru Emoto on Gratitude

Interview with Masaru Emoto on Gratitude:

Have you come across a particular word or phrase in your research that you have found to be most helpful in cleaning up the natural waters of the world?

DR. EMOTO: Yes. There is a special combination that seems to be perfect for this, which is love plus the combination of thanks and appreciation reflected in the English word gratitude. Just one of these is not enough. Love needs to be based in gratitude, and gratitude needs to be based in love. These two words together create the most important vibration. And it is even more important that we understand the value of these words.

For example, we know that water is described as H2O. If we were to look at love and gratitude as a pair, gratitude is the H and love is the O. Water is the basis that not only supports but also allows the existence of life. In my understanding of the concept of yin and yang, in the same way that there is one O and two Hs, we also need one part yang/love to two parts yin/gratitude, in order to come to a plae of balance in the equation.

LOA Joke

If you’ve seen The Secret, you know to ask for what you want in order to receive it. But you have to be really clear, and very specific, and unambiguous when you ask. Someone sent me this joke the other day, and I immediately thought “what a great example of receiving what you ask for – and being careful what you ask for!”

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him. The waitress asks them for their orders. The man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke," and turns to the ostrich. "What's yours?" "I'll have the same," says the ostrich.

A short time later the waitress returns with the order. "That will be #9.40 please," and the man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment.

The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke." The ostrich says, "I'll have the same." Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with the exact change.

This becomes routine until the two enter again. "The usual?" asks the waitress. "No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato and a salad," says the man. "Same," says the ostrich.

Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, "That will be #32.62." Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table.

The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any longer. "Excuse me, sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change in your pocket every time?"

"Well," says the man, "several years ago I was cleaning the attic and found an old lamp. When I rubbed it, a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes. My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there."

"That's brilliant!" says the waitress. "Most people would ask for a million pounds or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!"

"That's right. Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there," says the man.

The waitress asks, "What's with the ostrich?"The man sighs, pauses and answers, "My second wish was for a tall chick with a big a*s and long legs who agrees with everything I say."

Moral : Be VERY specific!

BE THANKFUL

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.

Happiness is a Journey, not a Destination

Most people believe that when they have what they want, THEN they will be happy.

This is NOT TRUE, in fact, the opposite is true.

The more we are grateful for what we have NOW, the more the Universe responds with giving us more to be grateful for.

Since the Universe only responds to your vibrations, having a vibration of appreciation and gratitude is what the Universe will send back to you.

We must however, FEEL the appreciation and not just say the words. By feeling the emotion of appreciation we are sending out the vibration. By just saying the words we are not sending out the vibration.

Keeping a Gratitude Diary for a month will help you achieve this, and will return good things to you ten-fold. It will transform your life!

Gratitude is so powerful for creating a happy, joyful, abundant life.

Remember, happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Positive Mental Attitude Formula

Our 3-step positive mental attitude formula.

In any situation, however apparently bad:

1. Keep cool and coolly examine the situation. Turn it upside down, inside out, downside up and outside in.

2. Suddenly you realize it could have been worse. Find out how and why it could have been worse.

3. Finally, the good side of it will just appear to you. This can happen gradually or in a flash. It all depends on parts 1 and 2.

Soon you'll see all things and all people in a positive way. What you call "failure" is in fact simply a new opportunity to try again and do better than if you had "succeeded" in the first place.

Now, have you noticed that a rich person has more of a chance of getting a bank loan than a poor person? In other words: you must have money to be given MORE money! In the same way, if you are a "happy person", you'll get MORE happiness.

As the great American poet Theodore Roethke said: "The right things happen to the happy man"

Don't worry, whatever type of person you are, you can easily turn yourself into a "happy person".

I can almost see your wry, "easier-said-than-done" smile. But please, just try our 3-step formula and soon, very soon, in fact much sooner than you think, you'll take up a sturdy and radiant Positive Mental Attitude to life and THAT is the only key to wellness, happiness, and a longer life.

Using Alpha and Theta Waves

Did you know that it is much easier to replace old beliefs and negative attitudes by using the power of Alpha and Theta brain waves?

Normally, we would use our normal state of mind, which is Beta. Most things recorded in Beta will fade and disappear over time. So affirmations and the other techniques we use to change our beliefs may only be of limited benefit. Ah! Does this maybe explain why some affirmations haven't worked for you?

Your unconscious mind records your beliefs as you learn them from a very young age. They are recorded in a particular format which works on the Theta or Alpha level, and can last your whole life. These brain waves are much slower than Beta.

Will power is also formatted in Beta, by the way.

So to both speed up the process, and achieve a lasting result, use Alpha and Theta waves to change those negative beliefs to those that will support the new, enlightened you.

There's a lot more information on this topic at Centrepointe. they will even post you (for free) one of their CDs to get you started.
