Energy Follows Thought
by Genevieve Gerard
Energy follows thought is a profound principle of man’s spiritual traditions. It is a truth of the Jewish tradition from the Book of Proverbs reveled in the words “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he”1. It is echoed in the New Testament and it is a basic premise of the Ageless Wisdom. It is also a key to understanding the premise behind Napoleon Hill’s famous book, “Think and Grow Rich
Within this simple truth is hidden great revelation. Within this simple truth is hidden great power to create the life you desire. This truth is the principle behind the use of affirmations. It is why in meditation we identify with our Higher Self. It is a way of bringing into manifestation and expression the fullness of our being.
There are in this saying some key points. “As a man thinketh in his heart” is a deep expression that involves the whole being.
The mystery that this truth unveils, discloses not only the power of your thoughts, it is also a guide and lesson on the importance of disciplining your thoughts. Because your thoughts have the power to bring energy into manifestation, it becomes important to harness this principle for your benefit. This is why worry and fear have such a harmful impact on our lives. The more thought and energy is expended in the creation of negative thought forms the more likely what is feared and worried about will happen.
In order to bring positive transformation into your life using this principle you must harness your thoughts. If you truthfully observe your thoughts for even a brief period of ten to twenty minutes, really looking honestly at what thoughts flitter across your mind, you may be shocked at how many negative and negating thoughts you find emerging. If, in the light of this experiment, you ask the question, “Why can’t I have what I want?” You would have to answer, “Because I don’t think I can.”
Years ago, there were a series of post cards with short poems by Bernie Gunther and lovely art by Sister Coretta called High Cards. One of these that I kept stuck on my mirror to remind me to harness my thoughts said, “There is a positive side and a negative side and at each moment, you decide.”
To have the life you envision, the life of your dreams, you can use this ancient principle “energy follows thought” to work for you. Simply notice your thoughts and revise your thinking. If each time you hear yourself say, “I can’t,” you just consciously shift your thinking to “I can,” you will notice your life changing and transforming. If you then add positive affirmation and positive self-talk to replace that limiting expression, you will feel a subtle change that begins to shift your entire perspective.
You can start small, just 5 or 10 minutes a day and see what happens. As you approach your thoughts with awareness observe the power of thought in your life. Then you can decide how you wish to think.

First off I would like to say wonderful blog! I had a quick
question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was curious to know how you center yourself and
clear your mind prior to writing. I have had a tough time
clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out. I truly do enjoy writing but
it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost
simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas
or tips? Kudos!
