Power of Thought

Learn how to think your way to happiness!

Understanding the power of thought is central to a happy life. It seems clear that our thinking literally creates our world, and if this is so why not think the way we'd like to live? 

Whether you are a die hard sceptic or a true believer in all things new age, it seems undeniable that the power of thought plays a substantial role in the make-up and direction of your life. No matter your personal philosophies, religious beliefs or educational background, you cannot escape the fact that what you feel and think about has a fundamental affect on the events and circumstances of your life.

Thought power is central to creating your reality. Everything in your outside or physical world has its beginnings in the unseen, inner world of your thoughts and beliefs. This is the essence of thought power. Put another way, the conditions and circumstances of your life are as a result of your thoughts and beliefs. Every aspect of your life, from the state of your finances to the state of your health and your relationships, is accurately revealing your thoughts and your beliefs. To take charge of your destiny, you must learn to control the nature of your everyday thoughts. By doing so you will be able to attract into your life anything you wish as you come to realise that your thoughts create your reality. 

Developing a clear understanding as to how the power of thought effects every area of your life will serve to provide not only the "desired" outcomes experienced in your physical world but will also provide you with unfailing and timeless wisdom that will prove to be of immense benefit toward enhancing your mental, emotional and spiritual growth, understanding and fulfilment as well.

It's All In The Mind

Most people have it back to front, believing that they feel or think a certain way because of their circumstances, not knowing the truth that it is their thought power that is creating those very circumstances, whether wanted or unwanted. For example, you bump into a friend you haven't seen in a while. You chat for a bit and then they promise to call you later. As the day goes by and they don't call, you start thinking all kinds of things like 'they're not going to call, I'm sure they never really liked me anyway, that's why we drifted apart' or 'perhaps I'm too selfish and that's why they don't like me'. You end up having a miserable day, you're wound up and stressed - thinking you're a terrible person. The next morning your friend calls and tells you they're sorry they didn't ring the day before but they got a puncture and when they finally got home, their son was ill and they were up all night! So you see, your thoughts created your circumstances and by realising that your thoughts create your reality, you will give yourself the power to create the changes you need to see happen in your life?

You Have Unlimited Thought Power

The greatest mystics and teachers that have walked the Earth have told us that everything is energy. This fundamental Truth has now been undeniably confirmed by modern science. Scientists now know that everything in our Universe is made up of pure energy vibrating at different rates, that includes plants, animals and people and your thoughts are energy too. The higher the rate of vibration the finer the outcome, so the energy which makes up our thoughts for instance, is vibrating at a very high rate and cannot be seen. The energy which makes up our bodies vibrates more slowly, is much denser, and can be seen and felt. If you were to look at anything that you now believe to be ‘solid’ under a microscope, you would find that at finer and finer levels, what appears to be solid to the naked eye is nothing more than pure, vibrating energy. And all of this energy is magnetic, attracting like things to it.

William Walker Atkinson, an American writer who was an influential figure in the early days of the New Thought Movement, is well known for his books on the power of the mind and using it to achieve success. Though his books were written in the early years of the twentieth century, they are still popular up to this day. Atkinson told us that "where mind is static energy, thought is dynamic energy - two phases of the same thing". Charles Haanel, the author of the book The Master Key System as well as other books about improving the human condition and regarded by many as the "Father of Personal Development" went on to say that "thought power is the vibratory force formed by converting static mind into dynamic mind". Your thoughts are alive. Each time you entertain a specific thought, you emit a very specific, corresponding frequency or energy vibration.
