Thus u can make good judgment followed by good result. Secondly most of the time it happens that when we construct any mental image for our target or aim etc. spontaneously thoughts counterproductive to also start runing in the mind.....here comes the role of dealing smartly and making the law of attraction to work exactly in the way we want it to be.....U have to do only one thing start embracing those opposite thought....one best way is to give them some name u want and start to feel those fear in ur body and develop some concious pattern of their occuring in ur body (remember body is an excellent guiding system to us)......by doing that u will actually manure the very seed of ur desired thought......coz by feeling ur resistances/fears u put ur self in state of harmonity with the universal powers.......start practising with small fears and then step to big ones......initially it can take some time, but as time moves u will develop and master these skills......

Negative thoughts suck and make us feel like garbage. That is their intention. But, if we let them take us down the road they want to, then they win. Observe them, don't give them energy by crying, getting upset, etc. etc. They will pass just like gas. They are thoughts coming from the dark fleshly side each one of us has. Just treat them like breathing, they are automatic and are coming. But what I have noticed in my own life is, if I just let them be... and don't fight them, the subside. Focus the real you on your spirit, your core center. Let the brain do its thing. I paryed to God to be set free from this and I believe He showed me the path--- it is simply not charging thought with emotion. Emotion layers your brain with junk that is hard to get rid of. Emotions are good that is why God gave them to us, but just like any good thing they can jack you up. I still struggle, sure, but this concept has helped me tremedously.

So often we end up deep in the emotion before we even realize what the preceeded it. There is power in awareness. Blessins, Michelle Very good Andrea,

I recently purchased From www.Tybro.com Attaching Spirits Removal CD. This CD emits a high-pitched tone to clear any negative entities in your environment. It is a wonderful tool to clear your home and create a sacred space to work in and The Miracle Prayer CD which has sacred prayers and beautiful music that uplift and also remove negative thoughts. After listening to both CD's I felt incredible, a really sacred connection within with Source. Recently I had written about certain negative thoughts and emotions that would arise. Since listening to both CD's I have recognised that sometimes these thoughts and negative emotions might not necessarily be mine and in fact may be arising from another living energy field within the living energy field that I am. It has been a positive breakthrough in seeing this and now I will be less of a believer of these negative thoughts and negative emotions that arise which would enable me to not give them attachment that is counter-productive to my well being. Thank Andrea for letting me know about these wonderful CD's and thank everyone for sharing your thoughts and feelings as I am finding it very useful. Blessings.

That's what I got when reading the messages people have left here. My Name is Sol and I am from the UK. I use to be very much into Buddhism and I am sure I misunderstood the teachings. I struggled with not thinking about bad thoughts and the more I thought about not thinking about bad thoughts the more I thought about bad thoughts, and got myself into a bit of straight jacket! I hope people I getting the humour in what I have written. I know that the Law of Attraction is reality. Yesterday my partner was teaching a singing lesson with a male student and I had these funny thoughts of worst case scenario and I thought how crazy to have these thoughts of jealousy and also to worry about the manifestation of these thoughts becoming reality, due to me thinking them, so I tried to not focus on them and could again feel the straight jacket. What seems to work for me is recognizing that I will always be a student. I will always be learning and discovering more and more of my infinite nature forever and ever. So I cannot be perfect even though I might wish to move to being in alignment with perfection. I than accept myself and and acknowledge that I am feeling jealousy and I am scared to loose the love of my life and this is just fear arising due me not accepting that not all things are within my control, I live in universe where other people have free-will and that uncertainty is another aspect of my life. As I allow myself to step into this realization, I let go of getting it right and move more into being present with the feeling in a non judgemental way. Being open and willing to look without seeking an outcome. The image of holding a child that has fallen over comes to mind as I write. When a child has fallen over one would not get angry with the child and not understand why he or she is crying. We simply give the child a hug and reassure him or her that things are o.k and that the pain will go away. Self acceptance is a key to me releasing negative emotions. I give up having a war within myself because supposedly being a spiritual person I should have mastered this ages ago and that I 'should' be in control of my negative emotions. The more I allow myself to be in non mind attitude to experience as it arises moment by moment, the greater is the experience of freedom and lightness available to me. I am grateful for contrast. Because of contrast I am enabled to make choices within my circle of influence. I like to acknowledge physical reality, so I had a conversation with my partner about this experience. She smiled and said I love you so much I would not dream of hurting you. I smiled back and felt grateful that I could share this with her and that this manure in my mind acted as fertilizer to create a new situation for us. Greater intimacy in our relating. I look at negativity as contrast to the other side of the coin. The seed of greed is Generosity, the seed of lack is Abundance, the seed of limitation is Freedom, the seed of jealousy is Unconditional Love. I am not alone.

I have often worried that I was worrying and that would bring the undesired result to me. Kind of a bind I would get myself into. I will try and be observant and not put any emotion behind negative thoughts. Thanks so much for the great advice. Anita Andrea,

We are taught to manifest the things we desire by charging the visualization with an emotion, so it only makes sense that the inverse of that investment is at work also. The stream metaphor really resonates with me, as I picture a stream of consciousness with leaves floating down it, each leaf representing a thought. Watching a leaf pass by is not the same thing as reaching in and plucking it out of the stream... Digging that frosty, dissipating breath image -- wonderful! Slade Andrea,

When we breathe out on a cold night, we no longer see the mist because it has mingled with the air around us... yet it is still there. It has just become part of a much bigger thing, returning to where it came from. So I suppose yes, negative thoughts are like that. After a time they no longer become "negative" and are just "thoughts", or perhaps energy that has turned into something else. This was a nice article.

I like your tip in just observing and not resisting. Simply observing increases my level of awareness. There is no judgement either if my thought is a negative one. I choose which thought I would like to pursue and consciously create the physical reality that I intend for myself.

I had that experience in my yoga practice today - I shifted from focusing on the weakness and restriction within my body and instead could connect with the strength and the opening. And what a difference it made to my practice! Instead of a struggle.... it was a pleasure. I love that sentence – “We simply select the thoughts to which we give our emotional energy to.”
