Thoughts and Realities

Maria Duval has taught me about thoughts and realities. Today, I would like to share with you this great writing about "thoughts" and "attraction", a very popular topic that applies in each person's life in self improvement studies and spiritual learning.

"Scientists have estimated that we have over 25,000 thoughts every day. The problem is that those 25,000 thoughts tend to be the exact same thoughts repeating themselves over and over again!

We develop patterns of behavior over time and our lives become very predictable. We sleep on the same side of the bed each night, we eat the same breakfast, brush our teeth in the same direction and have a shower washing the same body parts in the same order! We then drive to work on the same roads, talk to the same people and do the same work. We get home and watch the same television shows, have the same dinners and talk about the same topics.

We spend our entire working week counting down the days to the weekend. We then spend the weekend going out, drinking, socialising and complaining about how bad work is. Sunday night comes around quickly and we start getting depressed at the thought of going back to work again on Monday. This robot like routine repeats itself over and over again! Do you know that there are more heart attacks on a Monday morning at 9am than any other time in the week?

The sad fact is that 95% of people tend to bitch, whine and complain about their current situation without attempting to do anything to change it. They don’t realise that they are creating this miserable life by the way that they think!

So, to change our lives we must change our habits and to change our habits we must change our thoughts! New thoughts lead to new feelings which lead to new actions which lead to new results!

THINK about this. We must learn to monitor our thoughts if we want to change our lives. How much time do you spend focusing on what you don’t want in life instead of focusing on what you do want?

The key to success is to spend more time focusing on what we want in life. We need to stop complaining about our current circumstances and accept the fact that we have created everything through our thoughts. We must accept full responsibility for our current reality. If we play a victim we are powerless. If we accept the fact that we have created everything in our lives then we now become powerful. We now have the ability to change our lives. All it takes is a decision! To change our current situation we must change our thoughts and refocus our energy.

Are you feeling the pinch of the heavy financial burden?

If you are currently in debt and you keep getting bills in the mail then the first step is to stop complaining about the bills. Every time you complain about your level of debt you attract more debt into your life. This effect is compounded if you add extreme emotion to the situation. The frequency that you are emitting out to the universe is ‘Debt’! You need to start focusing on wealth and abundance if you want to get out of debt.

Over the next few days start to monitor your thoughts.

Take note of how many times you focus on what you don’t want. Use your emotions as a guide. If you are feeling negative emotions then you must be focusing on something that you do not want. If you are feeling positive emotions then keep focusing on that!"

Maria Duval's 6 Simple Ways to Stay Happy

I hope each and everyone of us can stay happy and positive in this new year. Yes, make it a resolution to let go your miseries you been holding on and welcome happiness to your life with open arms.

It is a fact that if you want something too badly, it is likely to evade you. And this is truer for happiness than anything else. The reason why happiness seems to evade the millions of people searching for it is because they are looking in the wrong place.

Most people look for happiness "outside" themselves and not "inside". Some feel that they would be happy if they could afford a house of their own. Others feel that they just have to own all the latest gizmos to finally find happiness.

Have you ever wondered how most infants are extremely happy almost all the time? Physical discomfort can make them cry for a while but such aspects are transient and last for only a few minutes. The reason why infants are almost always in a state of natural happiness is because they are in constant awe of nature and the world around them. Unfortunately, it is the society, parents, friends, teachers and relatives that influence them with regards to what happiness should mean.

It may be difficult to undo all the layers of perception that have formed on the mind over time. However, it is never too late to try and address the issue and train your mind to be happy. There are some tips that can help you in shedding your inhibitions and breaking away from the shackles of predefined definitions of happiness.

Here's Maria Duval's advices to stay happy in life:

Accept yourself – One of the key reasons why people are unhappy is that they do not really like or love themselves enough. It is essential that you accept yourself as what you are without any caveats and conditions to attain happiness. Don't get too critical about yourself – your looks, your brains, your capabilities or your financial condition. Just learn how to love yourself as you are. You will realize that once you are comfortable with what you are, others will accept you more willingly.

Happiness is a state of mind – It is important that you understand and appreciate that your happiness lies within. Consider this – no one can make you unhappy if you have decided for sure that you will be happy in every situation. If you have made up your mind to be happy, you can always seek out the positive aspects of a situation and remain happy. Life may throw challenges at you but solutions will come faster and to you if you face them with a smile on your face.

Prioritize your life – As we grow older, the demands that various people and circumstances they lay on us increase. It is important that you learn how to balance the various responsibilities that you may have. If any one of these tasks becomes paramount, you are likely to ignore the others. For example, if you get extremely preoccupied with your work, you family life are likely to miss you. On the other hand, if you are too consumed with your plans for your various hobbies, your job and family are likely to suffer. You may achieve momentary happiness but neither of these situations can result in happiness in the long run.

Take care of your health – an unhealthy body cannot be the home of a happy mind. It is important that you understand the strong link between physical health and mental happiness. If you are fit and healthy, you are likely to exude positive energy.

Stay in the company of happy people – Ensure that you seek out people who are happy and cheerful all the time. Being in the company of people who have a habit of cribbing and criticizing is likely to divert your mind towards negative thoughts. Avoid getting into the sulk mode by choosing the company of happy people.

Be grateful – Saying a small "thank you" for what you have can make a lot of difference. When you make it a habit to be grateful, you seek out the things that you do have. This helps you divert your mind from negative thoughts of what you do not have. This does not mean that you give up trying. On the other hand it encourages you to think of future goals and achievements in a positive manner.

Take time off to enjoy nature, life and the small things that we take for granted on a daily basis. A beautiful sunset can bring you joy, if only you would take a few minutes out of your daily schedule and look at it.

Overcoming Fears

We all have fears. They are dead weights inside us and we have to learn to overcome them if we want to get on with life. For example, many people are fearful over taking heavy responsibilities or fearful of meeting people. There are also all kinds of fears that may trigger a person into a fearful convulsion at any time.

If any life situation arouse any feelings of anxiety, stress or fears, take a moment to reflect what might be causing this mental discomfort or preying on your mind.

Maria Duval explains that there are three main origins of fear:

• An unpleasant experience you have been through;


• An unpleasant experience someone else has been through;


• An unpleasant experience you fear is going to happen to you.

Here are Maria's simple steps that may help to overcome such fears:

• 1. Sit yourself down comfortably, close your eyes, take three deep breaths and visualise some pleasant scenes.


• 2. Imagine you are in your basement, or in a dark cupboard and you are sweeping. Visualise the rubbish. Visualise it labelled with the fear you have just identified. See other rubbish labelled as other more general fears. Sweep the whole area.


• 3. When you have finished, admire the result. How good you feel to be rid of all the dead weight!


• 4. Translate our positive feelings into words and pronounce the following in your head: "I am now less and less afraid. Every day I am more and more capable of facing any situation with serenity and courage. I have total confidence in myself. May this be so."


• 5. Open your eyes and feel wide awake. Feel that you have less fear and that you are surer of yourself.

Life is now more beautiful and peaceful; you feel more clear-headed than you have ever felt. Maria Duval says try to practise this ritual whenever you feel the need, so you can gradually flush out your various fears!

Positive Affirmations

It is always good and beneficial to repeat a positive affirmation at least three times per day, but many people still do not understand what's the meaning of positive affirmation. Affirmation mainly refers to first and foremost something that must be spoken with strength, confidence and determination. Affirmation can be positive, or negative.

Maria Duval gives some examples of positive affirmations:

Every day and in every way, I am becoming more and more positive.

Whatever happens today, I will face it with courage and I will expect a positive outcome.

I respect the person I am. I am capable of creating and resolving problems. I excel.

These are, of course, some positive affirmations.

Maria Duval says negative programming works just as well. But you wouldn't want to be negative, would you? Who would want to seek failure or accumulate problems?

You can certainly use the above examples from Maria Duval as your personal affirmation. However, it is better you can customise your own to your own situation and what you want out of life. It is better to select affirmations about positive thinking, self esteem and success. As you can see, affirmations are like programming your mental computer to change a particular habit you have so as to self improve your life.

Everytime you use a positive affirmation, repeat it at least 3 times a day continuously for 1 week. Do it relaxedly but seriously. As time goes by, you find that your mind has been programmed. From now on, your thoughts will be more positive, and life somehow transformed.

Maria Duval says positive affirmation process works because of a very basic Universal Law, which is "Energy Follows Thoughts", meaning, positive energy will flow in the direction of your attention.

Maria Duval - How to markedly improve your happiness, finances and luck

The amazing power of self-conditioning

Researchers have shown that we love in an energy aura that fills through the space. This is the source of all life and can be found within every atom - the building block - of the matter. The name given by the scientists to this energy is not important. What matters is that it works as an intelligence field. This is the nearest thing we have to a conception of the Creator. It is this intelligence that makes the world turn, and it is also this intelligence that lies behind our own functioning, us, the human race.

Maria Duval says this intelligence bonds with our personal intelligence to give us our instinct, ideas, intuition and inspirations. Those of us who are in greater harmony, with a universal vision, attract this intelligence field more strongly than those whose thought is more limited. This could imply that those who dare to think and dream find it easier to achieve happiness in life. Why, asks Maria Duval.

This is because they realise that the source of life does not lie in the material world we live in, but it is instead a gift bestowed by the Creator - a spiritual source. You can bring yourself to be in harmony with this intelligence field to benefit from it, is through "self conditioning", which us about changing from negative to positive attitude. To do this, relax your body and mind, AND, suggest t yourself and condition yourself to be positive and creative in both in your attitude and mood and in your behaviour.

Read the following worlds, then close your eyes and repeat them:

"Every day, in every way, I am becoming more and more POSITIVE."

Now breath in deeply and close your eyes and repeat it three times. You have just completed an important phase in re-programming your mind to be positive.

Maria Duval adds that it is an proven fact that your thoughts help to create the reality. Another fact: your thought comes from a well programmed computer, which is synonymously to the functioning of our complex brain. When you relax your body and mind, you switch on the computer that is your brain, and when you instruct it, you are programming your "computer". To completely master this seemingly normal process, you need to relax even more and give it even more specific messages.

Finally, Maria Duval states both right and left brains need to work harmoniously that when you relax and allow your mind to drift. This is when your "computer" is now activated.

Psychic energy

Since young I have this interest in psychic abilities. I've always been fascinated by magic and fantasy. It happened after my mom brought me to see a psychic at downtown to ask about the future of the family which seemed to be breaking down.

Then I saw a talk show with some psychics on about ten years ago, a mother and daughter, though I don't remember their names, and they claimed that anyone could learn to be psychic. So, I started looking for things online that taught how to be psychic, tried astral projection with no success, I'm not sure which and why. I also tried a lot of remote viewing types of exercises with no success.

As for my own experience, I started out sceptical, and remain sceptical. By sceptical, I mean I refuse to believe something just because someone says it's true. With a convincing explanation, I'll give it some thought, and with evidence, I'll likely believe. Scepticism provides a defence against charlatans, which do exist amongst the real deal.

There were times that I use to feel like whatever there is no such thing as higher power or something far more amazing then what meets the eye. But I caught myself asking god for help and still being a sceptic; when I cleansed my body and my aura I just new that the world is more than what the human eye can see. At that moment I new that I had to connect with my spirit because I was really out of balance and new if I did not do this I will be completely unhappy because I will be infiltrated by other poeple's energy.

You are off to a good start you want to learn you want to believe and that my dear will allow you to because the mind is so much powerful then what we think so we fail to be in control of it.

Maria Duval - 7 Rules To Create Wealth

Wealth and prosperity are the key to a happy life and there is no doubt about that. Money may not buy you extra years of life or health or more happiness, but money plays an important role in the society and money itself is a powerful energy that moves the world.

In spirituality studies, there is a Law of Wealth and Success and anyone who knows and applies these seven laws of wealth creation will become prosperous. Not many people know about these seven laws because they are hidden from our eyes which see only the tangible objects and beyond generic understanding.

The seven laws of wealth creation have been known by ancient sages of diverse cultures and religions. They are universal thus any person of any belief can apply and use them in their lives to spectacular success. They are briefly explained as here below:

1. Everything that you need to become rich is already within you.

All you have to do is to externalize it. Everyone has it in their mind. But you need to make it "show" up. That is, develop that "millionaire mentality", if not, it is impossible to attract any wealth into your life. It is also important to view money as sacred source of energy. Do not despise money. If this energy is properly channeled, together with the creative harmony of the Universe, your powerful positive thoughts can bring you anything you want into your life.

2. Love money if you want it to love you back

This law may sound laughable, because who does not like money? Everyone likes money, isn't it? Subconsciously, people may reject money due to some religious teachings although consciously they may be welcoming it. You need to love money totally and devotedly just like you devotedly love your lover. Love money without false pride and it will love you back. Do not view it as evil nor doubt its nature. Money is not dirty but only minds that own it dirty it. You condemn, you lose.

3. Being aware of money leads to having money

Achieving financial security is a process. It means this process will accompany you in your life and by opening up your heart and mind to prosperity, you will build yourself a feeling of wealth that nobody can take it away from you. Thoughts are energy impulses with the power to materialize therefore one must know the destiny of one's life is all contained in his or her thoughts. So get used to thinking in terms of comfort, wealth and prosperity and the best will come to you. Do not despise yourself!

4. Money comes into your life for a specific reason

When money comes into your life, it is subordinate to an aim, an objective or a wish. Having an aim in life is the force that drives life on; it is what gives existence a meaning and makes it sacred. It is up to you to discover this aim in your life. Wealth takes on different aspects so you need to define it clearly how you want wealth to show up in your life. From now on, define your life objective as specific as possible and stick to it until you have achieved it.

5. Money must circulate freely

Money is an energy, and all energies needs to circulate, so money needs to be circulated just like blood in your body. When blood circulates freely in you, your health is excellent. So keep your money circulating. This does not mean do not save. You need to save it based on the emotion of optimism in life. People think that having a savings is to prevent you against "raining days" and this is based on the emotion of pessimism, not something which is encouraged when it comes to money circulation. Do not live under constant fear. So saving money as long as it is born of healthy positive thoughts will not block the circulation of money or universe cosmic energy.

6. You have to give to receive

This is the universal principle of wealth and prosperity! You reap what you sow. Acquiring money without giving back builds up negative karma which will manifest at some stage. If you are generous, altruistic, sincere and modest, not proud or hypocritical, the Universe will, in return, gives you more. Giving and receiving are not just limited to material things. It can be about respect, compliments or admirations of others. So open your heart wider to give and receive more. Once you receive anything, also remember to give gratitude and thanks to the Universe for the gift and be grateful for what you already have.

7. Trust your intuition

Everyone has a "little voice" in us that speaks up when we are in doubts. The problem is, we have completely shut ourselves off from the "little voice". The voice is actually your life's best buddy and it can be can be found at the right side of your brain. To consult your buddy, formulate a wish or question in your heart and then allow whatever comes to flow, preferably during a meditation process. So whenever you encounter a situation that is doubtful, ask your intuition and it will inspire and guide you through. So apply your intuition to your money making processes!

These are the seven powerful rules of wealth creation. They are the undisputed ways to generate wealth in your life so always have full faith in them for they have already been tested over and over again over the course of the history. Put them into practice now and your efforts will be richly rewarded. Do consult your spiritual guidance if you are not sure. Apply them everyday with confidence and perseverance and soon you will start to see wonders.
