IT FINALLY MAKES SENSE TO ME. Full acceptance of everything leads to nonresistance = PEACE From the space of peace = love and gratitude and other elevated emotions can naturally arise From the space of peace = you practice intention and you manifest From the space of peace you are OUTCOME INDEPENDENT and everything becomes effortless Love you Michael! I appreciate you! I was divinely guided to "stumble" on this channel
Some of my best and easiest manifestations came when I let myself feel frustrated over things in my life. So I no longer believe that I need to 1) feel amazing to manifest, 2) feel gratitude to manifest.
Yes i often struggled to feel gratitude but i read gratitude is the signature of love. So now i try to feel love. I admit there is very little i love in life but i do have a constant and unconditional love for my dog. So i focus on that and it makes me happy. I feel a calmness when i think of her. Once i have that peace i automatically feel a connection with God or the Divine and that in turn makes me feel gratitude. Just gratitude for the feeling of peace,calm and connectedness. I am not then connecting gratitude with anything i have in the material world but rather gratitude for a feeling,whether that is love or joy or peace.
Having a dog (In my case a German Shepherd Dog) back in my life after a six year absence was key for my mental welfare. Only recently, have looked into myself to improve. One way to do that is to break the mind by going for a walk or even just playing with my dog. A dog, can make you laugh and create an escape, show unconditional love and give you a sense of well being.
Same here. Animal power. Got two six weeks female puppies that no one wanted. They had taken all male puppies. I do no regret my decision to adopt them. They are bringing out the best in me I did not know about myself. I have peace and unconditional love.
Yes! Neville in his lecture "commute with God with yourself, and revise the feeling to your wished to be fullfilled". The beginning is the end, and the end is the beginning!
@@Lisa_M_VWhy would it feel like s***? Before I even knew about any of this, I could enjoy receiving things I desired without ever giving gratitude before I had the desire. I'm personally enjoying all the things showing up right now without any prior gratitude and it feels great to receive.
I think sometimes the forcing of gratitude for something you don’t have, just leaves you attached to that ‘wanting’ state and it creates resistance because deep down you know you don’t have it yet. Surrendering from a peaceful state is better because you’re letting it go and leaving it to god/the universe to do its magic. The times I’ve totally surrendered, sometimes after going through some really tough times, I’ve totally surrendered and things have manifested so fast without me even realising that’s what I was trying to do! My husband came along in this way 🙂. But you do have to deal with the shadows first.
Whatever feels natural for a person, if they had their wish fulfilled. I would feel grateful, but others may feel free, relieved, happy, content... It varies from person to person.
Accept your feeling, acknowledge it and than let it go. It de me angry for years when I heard be grateful just for being. You really made an important point - thank you
This was my experience exactly. Gratitude was stressful and triggering at one point. I have also noticed that I don't go around grateful for all the time, just like you said. Appreciation is a much better word to describe it.
Yes. This idea is very much on track based on my experience, especially between 5:30 and 6:00--neutral, at peace. That is where gratitude naturally exists. Bravo. Well said.
A decade ago I began a 'gratitude journal', just three things daily. It became tedious, but not meaningless. I stuck with it, not daily or even regularly, but it lives on today, when I make journal entries sporadically. The point is, it did slowly change the way I thought. It made me cognizant of things and stopped the entitled ingratitude of my younger years. Those YT videos that throw the 'gratitude' this and that, they are just seeking views and likes. Many have become faceless, and worse, AI. I appreciate the message in this video. The one thing I am grateful for today...the understanding of the purpose of gratitude in my current life.
Exactly, we manifest 24/7, gratitude helps with manifesting fast but it's not easy to be consistent. It's easier for me to step back and re-adjust my negative thinking as opposed to give thanks when I feel I lack something I want
Thank you so much for this. I’ve been in a state of fear for some time and have been reaching to find a state of gratitude which in turn has only made me feel worse and guilty that I wasn’t able to harness or naturally already feeling gratitude. This is very helpful.
Well Said 🙏. This is so true and thank you for being authentic🙏 so many people are making millions from this with gratitude rocks, gratitude beads, you name it.
I have noticed when something really bad has happened. And I pray to God to fix it. My ego is torturing me saying no, you can't have it. But I stay consistent and believe that I'm gonna get it. The sign just before the manifestation is that I can't cry! I want to cry. But I cannot. Then I know the manifestation is near
Yes, this video speaks volumes of truth to me. I remember when I used to get contractions in my stomach when a certain subject came up and I did not know what to do with it. Now I know how to bring my awareness to that area and release the energy. I feel so much better and things are working out and I feel that I am flowing with life instead of against life. Life is great!🥰❤🌈🌻🌞🦋
This aligns with what Abraham says about the emotional guidance scale. And I love to way you explain things Michael. It's practical advice about managing your energy rather than specific manifesting tricks like vision boards, etc.
The part of the brain the exudes gratitude and fear is the same , we cannot be grateful while in fear or hatred. While a person's prime emotions are fear and hatred , then he /she tend to fake it ...by saying Thank you , however the words we utter will manifest and of course counter productively. You are right .
I agree with everything you said. In my growth journey you are the person who made me take a very important step forward. I thought I had to create the emotion of wish fulfilled before I ran into you, thanks to you I am very clear now, everything has become very clear and incredible things are happening to me. Regarding the current video I absolutely think the same, you should never react to negative emotions and feelings but stop in peace, feel divinely guided, leave negative emotions and as soon as you feel good start thinking about the circumstance with the emotion and the positive feeling, of total solutions, that everything is in our favor and that everything has been resolved in the better way. This is the way how we can change the circumstances and situations of life in our favor. And you explain it very well and very clearly. Thank you
There are many great tidbits of wisdom in this short little video. Being the observer has to come from a place of detachment...I'd dare say that it is even a state of indifference. Indifference has gotten a bad rap in my opinion. For me indifference has always been the starting point to allowing the universe or god to do it's thing in my life. It's a sort of blank canvas that I and the universe can work with and create anew. This video just showed up in my feed and I'm happy that I clicked on it. I subbed too!
Yeah...fear is a survival emotion, so as long as you live in survival emotions like fear, you cannot rise up and live with your higher self.. becos fear will close your heart. without fear you can keep your heart open, live in peace and harmony.. "effortless living in present moment"❤
Thank you so much for bringing up this topic, this really is the key! Facing fears and and taking the time to see what beliefs you need to change in order release these fears. Barshar speaks of many ways to help do this. Releasing fears allows you to be on a higher frequency, which naturaly puts you in a manifesting mode. Fear nothing but fear itself! I'm doing this one fear at a time! This was very helpful, and hearing it from you really triggered me to start this process. I'm so glad I stumbled across this video ❤
Me and my lil sister we planning to go on gratitude challenge and just be grateful for anything for 30 days and honestly we just say it but don’t really feel it. Thanks for clarity it’s crazy how I even bumped into this.
Very true about observing but that’s a parallel level as it’s a level of recognition that you’re not your thoughts or emotions and not everyone is ready to go there right away. And from emotional perspective gratitude is the answer (so as any other positive emotion) except we are missing the point where the change is gradual. From fear you go to doubt. And from there maybe to hope. It’s a gradual process. Just as you mentioned going off to pray. Prayer is a state of gratitude for the things unseen. You know what those things are, accept they are and as a result you naturally feel gratitude, just like you naturally feel fear when u imagine things unwanted and believe them. So the difference between emotions is just a choice of thought of belief of what is real and what isn’t
This makes perfect sense; thank you for providing clarity and sound spirituality on this often misguided subject. This particular video deserves a second viewing. Namaste.
Very well and understandable. Absolutely true, if you are not letting go the low feeling gratitude doesn't klick in to my experience too. Thanks for pointing that out. And the car example, very nice, exactly the same for. The process of the manifestation was actually far more exciting 😊
Thank you for sharing this insightful perspective on gratitude and manifestation. Your honesty about the challenges in simplifying spiritual teachings in a landscape filled with techniques is refreshing. And the emphasis on inner peace as the foundation for genuine gratitude and manifestation resonates deeply. Your humility in acknowledging the ongoing journey of self-discovery is truly inspiring. Keep spreading this invaluable wisdom! ✨
I do not understand the role of gratitude as depicted by the author, rather, I understand gratitude as a natural attitude when you already have what you want. Since all affirmations needed for manifestation have to happen in the present, gratitude cannot be avoided. I agree that one cannot feel gratitude within a feeling of lack, but that's just the point, it's about living mentally in the life that you want as if it were yours already, and in that state gratitude follows naturally.
Taking actions gets results not just merely any mindset or emotion- I know, its more than gratitude alone. All ancient teachings talk about becoming, then doing, in order to get what you want
Thank you Michael, I have been feeling really tired. I'm not sure what is wrong but there is fear. You are right, I need to get back to basics and deal with that first.
Great video! You do a wonderful job explaining the full context of the dichotomy of fear and gratitude, and how to skillfully move through the undesirable emotions.
It shouldn't create resistance because deep down you know you don't have it yet. Some say you have to believe that you already received it whatever it is, but how can you truly believe that you have received it, by lying to yourself? I think it's humanly impossible to truly believe that we consciously received it, unless maybe? It's possible to convince yourself subconsciously and believe that it's possible that you can have anything in this world that you desire that is good and want from God and the universe.
Thanks. I love that peaceful easy state. I feel most gratitude for the air I breath. I feel it's God's energy energizing every cell of my body with light and love. I give gratitude even for clearing my blocks. I say mantra "I am sorry, please forgive, I love you. thank you." Like if I think money I say Ho'oponono mantra for all that is in the way even if I don't know what it is.. so it's not outside world it's in me. Have you read Louise Hay's book gratitude? It's so good.
I agree! This was how I finally came to be at peace and then joy and relaxation about two months after feeling intense fear and emotional pain from finding out that my husband was seeking sexual gratification elsewhere
And that was exactly what put me off from listening/watching a lot of those spiritual and life coaches. Those catch phrases you mention here and thank you for making that note. I understand where they would be coming from and that's to gain more followers. It is however off putting when one has tried those so called simple ways they speak of... I had also ignored your invites based on those catch phrases but now I know better 🎉🎉🎉🎉
People want to manifest the perfect relationship as an example. Because they can’t bring a ‘good’ feeling into their visualisation (fyi if actors can do it and create a feeling on the spot so ANYONE can do it) but they are too lazy or argue for their ‘limitations’ .. then when that perfect relationship manifests they feel like crap. They feel desperate unloved unwanted unhappy. Bingo. Feeling is the secret.
Its a very thin line to cover such a topic. Yes, u can't build gratitude on top of fear but sometimes gratitude put your mind off your issues for the moment and from there, you rise from the ashes.
I'd argue if you've gone out and bought a car and paid a decent amount for it you haven't really manifested it in the sense that people in this business make out when they say " do X and Y and you'll have your wish Z" , that's just common sense that if you have the funds you can have stuff , you don't need any spirituality or inner peace if you have the right circumstances or done the work required to get you to certain point , and even then there are certain things that won't be overcome like having the talent , for example you can probably not be good at something and still do that job but you won't ever be the best in the world at it without the necessary level of talent for that particular thing
