The Positive Persuasion

I heard a story this morning that talks about people and their obsession with carrying around all their baggage and junk, and taking all their frustrations out on the world around them. Too many people harbor too many frustrations with the life they lead every day. Learning to ditch the weight on your shoulders, and actually Apply Your Happiness, is something everyone could benefit from. Here’s the story:

I hopped in a taxi the other day, and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking lot right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.

I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, “The Law of the Garbage Truck.”

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on you. Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. The point here is to ‘Love the people who treat you right, and pray for the ones who don’t.’ What a wonderful idea.”

This follows along with a therapy I created and started implementing in college. “The Bucket Theory” is my own take on people’s baggage weighing them down, and keeping them stuck in one place. It’s simple – list all your problems on stones. The bigger the problem, the larger the stone. Put them all in a bucket. Pick it up. Carry it with you. Heavy, right? What a giant burden to take with you everywhere you go. Time to let some things go. I started a system of identifying the root emotion for what you consider your problem to be. Once you identify it, own that emotion, and understand why you are bothered, you can let it go. Sometimes the bucket is so heavy that even looking into it at all you have going on creates more stones…and it never gets any better. People, listen – Rome wasn’t built in a day. Rome wasn’t even build one building at a time. It was built brick by brick. Stone by stone. Take out a stone at a time, and let it go. You don’t have to do this in one sitting…just start doing it right now, and eventually you’ll have a Rome of your own!

Transcendental Meditation [TM] is a topic that many people in the positivity and LOA communities have expressed an interest in. It’s also a topic that gets a lot of flak for being questionable in it’s validity. The purpose of this blog is to educate, so I’m going to do just that – educate you all on what TM is, how it is done, and what the believed results are. I’ll also tell you what successes I’ve had.

Transcendental Meditation is the meditation we all see on TV and sometimes laugh at. Sitting with your spine as straight as possible, and your eyes closed, chanting “Om Klim Shrim Hrim Namah” (Ohm, Kleem, Shreem, Hareem, Namah). The origin is Hindi, and it is in worship or various deities – depending on the specific word. Om is the basic primitive sound, so it sets the tone for the following mantra words. Klim is to attract female and positive people into your life (mostly done for male subjects). Shrim is chanted to attract wealth and prosperity. Hrim is chanted to attract good health and well-being, while Namah is a combination of meanings to give grace and recognition to the deity. Na representing the grace of the deity, and Mah representing the world. This word is optional. Let’s take a closer look at how to use these in your life.

It is said that chanting these a minimum of 108 times in one sitting, while keeping your head full of your positive desires and wanted manifestations, will cause them to become. If you’re like me, it’s not something you really jump into whole-heartedly at first. Here’s how many people in the LOA and TM community are working these into their daily lives.

You must learn to quiet your mind. Life is filled with distractions, and stimuli that can keep you working overtime even when you sleep. Meditate to quiet your mind. This can just involve sitting with your eyes shut and concentrating on your breathing. Count with each breath. Listen to the sound your body makes as you breathe. You should not hear anything else a few minutes into this meditation.

Now that you have calmed your mind, open your eyes and think about all your desires being manifested. Think of their details. If it is a woman you seek, notice every last detail of her in your mind – how she smells, the softness of her skin, the taste of her breath when you kiss her – it can be anything, just be descriptive. While you are imagining these desires coming to you in infinite detail, write out the mantras on a sheet of paper.

For example, take a single sheet of college-rule notebook paper and write Klim, or Kleem six times across, for 18 rows. You can always write more. This would work for a man seeking positive attention from the opposite sex. For women seeking men, the mantra is AING. It will bring male attention to you. Every night before bed, or every morning before you start your day, take a few minutes to calm yourself and complete your mantras. You never know what will come to you.

My personal results have been strange. I don’t want to say they are incredible, but there’s got to be something to it. There is no coincidence in my universe. I can meditate at night, and fill pages up with my Klim and Shrim mantras, and the following day, I meet beautiful women. I don’t necessarily date them, but the attention is there. I haven’t had quite the same luck with attracting money (Shrim mantra), but I am always positive, and I have faith that good things are coming to me.

My personal suggestion is to try them out if you like. It cannot hurt you, and it will only cost you 10 minutes of your time before you sleep or begin your day. Simply learning to center yourself through meditation will help you become a stronger magnet for success and wealth. If you throw in some mantras while you’re getting yourself centered, you might just get what you’re looking for. Incredibly, I am actually getting what I seek. I’m still fine tuning my manifesting power, but I enjoy my results. Stay positive, and focused on your desires!
