Experience the Speed of Thought

Experience the Speed of Thought

Speed of Thought by Genevieve Gerard

Energy Follows Thought is a Universal Law.  Like all Universal Laws, it is neither good or bad, it merely is.

Universal laws can be used to help and empower you in a time of need, or they can be completely unknown and ignored.  Whether you use them to your advantage or ignore them altogether does not change how they work.

This Universal Law is also a key to understanding the thoughtful premise behind Napoleon Hill’s famous book, Think and Grow Rich, and Norman Vicente Peals The Power of Positive Thinking.”  More recently, it is the core of the very popular book and movie The Secret.”

Thought

A thought is an integral part of the creative aspect of life.  Your thoughts spring forth to create.  They move faster than the speed of light to create what you are thinking.  This principle is not personal, but it is powerful.

Unfortunately, your thoughts do not wait for your conscious consideration before they begin their creative process.  That makes your thoughts, your mind, more powerful than you realize.  That means that your thoughts are critical to how you live your life, far more critical than you are aware.

As a human being, you are made in the image of your Creator.  I believe your Creator created everything and most importantly created you to be a co-creator of life on this planet.  This belief about creation unveils an awesome power and at the same time a tremendous responsibility.

This co-creation enables you to use the power of your mind to influence the events and circumstance that are available through this dynamic and powerful principle that “Energy Follows Thought.”  Because your thoughts have the power to bring energy into manifestation, it becomes important to harness this principle for your benefit. Ponder on this!

In my experience, a thought begins the activation of its creative power at the moment of its inception.  That is equally true of thoughts of what you want, what you worry about, and even thoughts of what you don’t want.

Think about the subtle difference of the thought “I don’t know” versus “I don’t recall at this time.” How many times a week do you say this and other limiting beliefs to yourself?

The principle that Energy Follows Thought is a dynamic of the subtle and yet pervasive way in which you create your life and your reality.  It requires both conscious awareness and discipline to transcend, transform and transmute your fears and more negative emotions such as anger and limiting beliefs of pessimism.

The mind is a powerful muscle that has been proven in Science to be able to influence the outcome of an experiment just by the observer’s thought form of how they think the experiment should come out.

It is by learning to observe, yet not judge your thoughts, which can be filled with the self-criticisms of “should” and “ought’s” and perfectionistic expectations, that you can transform your life.

Fear

Thought does not discriminate between what you need vs what you are fearful of.  That is uniquely your responsibility as the thinker, the creator of a specific thought.  Therefore, you need to learn to utilize the power of your thoughts and the dynamic creative power of your mind to work for you; rather than against you.

Worry

Worrying is perhaps the easiest place you can see how the principle that Energy Follows Thought can work against you.  I think without too much consideration if you examine the contents expressed in your worries you would conclude that is not what you want.  Because the principle that Energy Follows Thought is impersonal and immediate, I have long referred to worrying as “praying for what you don’t want.”

Sadly, worrying can become enmeshed with your fears.  Then you are wasting your creative power as a human being, a spark of Divine co-creator potential to bring into manifestation your nightmares instead of your dreams.  That makes what you do with your thoughts important.

More importantly, you are using your creative power to manifest your dreams in the world to demonstrate what you fear and doubt most.  Clearly, that is not what you would consciously choose.  Unfortunately, for most people and perhaps for you, the content of your thought is unconscious, a “higgledy-piggledy” random flow from a wish to fear.

I Am Feeling Free Meditation by Genevieve Gerard

 

I have a 10-minute guided meditation that can help you learn to calm strong emotions and transmute fears and doubts that is called I Am Feeling Free.

 

Use Meditation

The mind can be such a powerful force in life that for thousands of years spiritual teachers and thought leaders have strived to instruct humanity to harness the dynamic power of their mind and its creative power to help you create the life of your dreams.

Mindfulness emphasizes the physical senses for experiencing the here and now, but there is an acknowledgment of the mind as a sixth sense.
                   – Douglas Russell, M.S.W.

Society has found that meditation, particularly mindfulness meditation techniques, strive to help you control your undisciplined and random mind-chatter from letting you create what you don’t want with your thought power.  Check out this guest article by Doug Russell, M.S.W. on my website which talks about how mindfulness can make a difference in your life.

It does not matter how you meditate, meditation works to empower you to utilize the creative power of your mind and to calm the turmoil of your emotions and attune and align you with your Higher Self (your Soul.)
                   – Genevieve Gerard

As one who has meditated for over 50 years now in my life, I can say that every form and discipline of meditation I have tried has helped me gain greater control of my mind-chatter and therefore helped me focus clearer on what I want to accomplish in life.

Focus

By learning to use the creative power that thought contains in a way that will empower your life and help you create the life of your dreams, the life you deserve and desire, you must learn how to stop confusing the Universe with rambling conflicting thoughts that jumble your fears and your dreamsTo experience the speed of thought requires the focus of your thoughts.

I have learned that even brief times of clearly focused thought has a dramatic life-changing impact.  Your thoughts go out with the speed-of-thought, and when consciously directed and empowered with a positive will and attention can create an immediate change in your life.

Change your thoughts, and you change your world.
                   – Norman Vincent Peale

The power of thought can be used to create what you imagine.  Science has proven that the mind does not know the difference between something that is vividly imagined versus something that is actually experienced. Use your mind to focus in and manifest what you want in life.

Affirmations

According to Wikipedia, affirmations in New Thought and New Age terminology refer primarily to the practice of positive thinking and self-empowerment—fostering a belief that “a positive mental attitude supported by affirmations will achieve success in anything.” More specifically, an affirmation is a carefully formatted statement that should be repeated to one’s self and written down frequently. For an affirmation to be effective, it needs to be present tense, positive, personal and specific.

When you identify with something, especially when you make an evocative thoughtful declaration, by an “I am” statement, you are guiding and directing things to what you desire. This becomes an important factor in your self-talk, and the thought forms you are creating. You then begin to think in a way that is congruent with that affirmation and feel in a way that is congruent with what you are affirming.

Using positive affirmations can help you achieve a specific state of mind or state of consciousness.

Empowerment Exercise

I have included a brief meditative and empowering exercise that I believe will help you use your thoughts in a way that will help in all situations.

Three Minutes to Empowerment Exercise

A brief technique you can use to empower and transform your life is to take 3 minutes each day to observe the content of your thoughts as the detached observer.

Sitting quietly and breathing naturally, review the content of your thoughts, realizing that through the creative principle “Energy Follows Thought” your thoughts are instructions you are sending out to the Universe.

During this 3 minutes of empowerment exercise, observe your thoughts, without self-criticism. When you find a thought that contains fear, any negative emotion, or limiting beliefs take that opportunity of observation to revise, re-frame, and correct that thought to bring your thinking into alignment with what you desire.

For those 3 moments of the day consciously request that your Soul is in control so that your creative efforts are aligned and empowered by your life purpose (even if you do not know what your life purpose is at that moment.)

Take a moment to consider your choice of words consciously and with care. Then restate the thought or desire as a positive thought. You can add a little will energy with that thought by making it an “I am” statement or an affirmation when appropriate.

The most important part of reframing a thought is to keep it positive and make sure you are not fueling your fears, your worries or limited beliefs during times of crisis.

Let this brief exercise of observation quiet your mind-chatter, calm your emotions, and open your awareness to new possibilities and new opportunities.

In this 3 minutes let your awareness come into the present, releasing your creativity from any contamination of the past.

Know that doing any meditative discipline 21 days in a row helps it become a habit. This is a habit that can empower your life, for the rest of your life. It works with the creative force of your creative energies to empower you.

 

I hope this post helps you focus and direct your thoughts into specific areas where you have determined you could use a little help and support in your process of growing and becoming. The concept discussed and the ideas and exercise given are simple to use and easy to do and they put immense power at your disposal to be all that you are meant to be if you just take a moment to experience the speed of thought.

I look forward to your enlightened awareness,

New Year New You

New Year, New You

Read New Year, New You blog post by Genevieve Gerard

A New Year signals a new opportunity to manifest your life’s purpose and fulfill your heart’s desire.

It allows you to take the collective energies of the hopes and dreams of all humanity to build upon, to empower and stimulate you to create the life of your dreams and fulfill your Life’s Purpose.

There is no time like the present. It is never too late. As the old expression says, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.”

Your life is a Divine gift to you, and you can make it be what you want it to be.

You Are A Co-Creator Of Life

The teachings of the Ageless Wisdom tell us that as human beings we are all created to be a co-creator with God. This concept of being a co-creator of your life is integral to many of the teachings on The Law of Attraction and the prosperity wisdom, such as the famous Napoleon Hill book, “Think and Grow Rich” that provides techniques to help you achieve your dreams.

You, as is true of each individual, are created to be a being of matter and a being of spirit. You have a physical body, emotions, a mind, and a personality, and you have a Soul.

This alchemy grants you a status unique to humanity, a being of free will who can co-create with God, your personal reality and the dynamics of your life. This power of co-creation is inherent in the energy and vibrations that emanate from your thoughts.

This co-creation enables you to use the power of your mind to influence the events and circumstance that are available through a dynamic and powerful principle that “energy follows thought.” Ponder on this!

Use the empowering techniques of harnessing the power of your mind, using affirmations to direct your creative thoughts and incorporate the Law of Attractions magnetic power of gratitude and appreciation.

The principle that “energy follows thought” is a dynamic of the subtle and yet pervasive way in which you create your life and your reality. It requires both conscious awareness and discipline to transcend, transform and transmute your fears and more negative emotions such as anger and limiting beliefs of pessimism.

It is by learning to observe, yet not judge your thoughts, which can be filled with the self-criticisms of “should” and “ought’s” and perfectionistic expectations, that you can transform your life. I call this the detached observer.

 

Three Minutes to Empowerment Exercise

 

A brief technique you can use to empower and transform your life for this New Year is to take 3 minutes each day to observe the content of your thoughts as the detached observer.

Sitting quietly and breathing naturally, review the content of your thoughts, realizing that through the creative principle “energy follows thought.” Your thoughts are instructions you are sending out to the Universe.

During this 3 minutes of empowerment exercise, observe your thoughts, without self-criticism. When you observe a thought that contains fear, any negative emotion, or limiting beliefs take that opportunity of observation to revise, re-frame, and correct that thought to bring your thought into alignment with what you desire.

For those 3 moments of the day consciously request that your Soul be in control so that your creative efforts are aligned and empowered by your life purpose.

Let this brief exercise of observation quiet your mind chatter, calm your emotions and open your awareness of new possibilities and new opportunities.

In this 3 minutes let your awareness come into the present, releasing your creativity from any contamination of the past.

Doing any meditative discipline 21 days in a row helps it become a habit. This is a habit that can empower your life, for the rest of your life. It works with the creative force of your creative energies to empower you.

Put The Past Behind You

Consciously, right here and right now, put your past behind you and open yourself to the unlimited possibility that is available for you.

The future is a mystery still being written in the recesses of your mind. Now is the call to action to create the life you desire.

Release Your Fears

To come into the present most powerfully and effectively there are some steps in your consciousness it is helpful that you do.

I Am Feeling Free Meditation MP3 by Genevieve Gerard

 

One is releasing your Fears

I have a 10-minute guided meditation that can help you do that which is called “I Am Feeling Free”.

 

Live In The Moment
& Forgive Yourself For The Past

Likewise, coming into the present, the “Now” is often enhanced when you forgive yourself from the past. Self-forgiveness is a way of freeing yourself from the limitations that are too often imposed by the mind that you are not deserving of creating the life of your dreams. Taking this important step of Self-Forgiveness is freedom unleashed. It emboldens and empowers you to be in the present.

As much as you can release yourself of the burdens of negative emotions, fears, old fits of anger, and unrealistic expectations, the more you can invite in the promise of the present, experience it, embrace it, enjoy it.

Releasing these residuals that can create resistance to the energy you are striving to invite and invoke in your life is key.

Free Yourself From Limiting Beliefs

Another important step to unlocking the potential and promise of releasing the past and empowering the present is to free yourself of, what is often called, “Limiting Beliefs.”

Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy.”
        – Anthony Robbins

You have the remarkable ability to take an experience and create a meaning in your life that can disempower you or one that can literally save your life.

The choice is yours. You are more powerful than you realize. You can have more than you imagine.

Life is a banquet before you filled with delights of unlimited diversity. Celebrate it and enjoy it.

Celebrate the New Year

Now, as we celebrate the dawning of a New Year we also celebrate that you can always begin again.

No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again.”
        – Buddha

As we transition into the New Year, we let the old pass away as we put this year behind us.

Take some time to forgive yourself of any old mistakes.

Yesterday is history, a history you can learn from,
but also be freed from.”
        – Genevieve Gerard

Let go of your old angers and resentments. They are too heavy to carry, so lay them down and leave them in the past where they can no longer control or harm you. If you need to, use my How To Forgive Yourself guided meditation.

Free your mind of any, and all, limiting beliefs you can identify. Free yourself from your fears and open to what is being created especially for you. The full magnificence of life’s adventure is possible. You can live your dreams. You can fulfill your destiny. You can manifest your life’s purpose.

Ponder On Your Purpose

This is a fertile and powerful time of year when thoughts across the world allow you to think of ways to change things for the better. Ponder on this.

Use This Affirmation

To assist you in the New Year you might like to use this affirmation.

A New Year’s Affirmation

 

I am free of all that has ever happened that is now past.
I choose to no longer give the past power over me.
I choose to forgive myself for any mistakes or errors I have ever made.
I choose to forgive others for any hurts
or harm they have ever done to me, intended to unintentional.

 

Starting right here and right now,
I consciously release my fears
and open myself and my life to
create the fulfillment of my dreams.

 

I open my heart to love
and open my mind to insight.
Nothing that has come before can limit me.
I go forth from within the power of this moment, free.

Take this change in the measure of time to use the energy of the New Year to manifest a new you, the you that you want to be. The future is unwritten and in an ongoing process of forming. Guide it with your creative thoughts, into the life that will fulfill your purpose in life and fill your days with love and joy. Remember, new possibilities are filled with unlimited potential to create the life of your dreams.

Namaste,

   Genevieve
