The hap-full stance is one for really playing with! I like it so much. The phrase ‘Lucky me!’ popped forward yesterday. Try this on for size…
- Lucky me! I’m working with these kind, intelligent, dedicated people.
- Lucky me! I’m living with the man of my dreams.
- Lucky me! I live in a cottage in the countryside.
- Lucky me! I have children (whom I adore).
- Lucky me! I work for myself.
- Lucky me! I have a car and can go anywhere I like.
- Lucky me! I can take time in the morning for writing.
- Lucky me! Our parents are coming to visit us tomorrow.
- Lucky me! The move went really well.
- Lucky me! I have plenty of money to pay for the move.
- Lucky me! I’m in good health.
- Lucky me! My work feels aligned to my purpose and values.
- Lucky me! I have a beautiful, supportive network of family and friends.
If mindfulness meditation retrains the brain to ‘notice’ incoming thoughts and become less reactive, jumpy, impulsive in response to those thoughts, this type of ‘mantra’ work, practised internally and aloud across the day, is surely about retraining the mind to ‘notice’ the good, and snapshot it. As my mind gets into the game of spotting the good and lighting up, it starts to become accustomed to running that positive appreciation programme on its own. This is the neural rewiring in the direction of finding the aspects of life which trigger a little splurge of dopamine and serotonin. Good work. Lucky me!
What else should I know about the mantra of ‘Lucky me!’?
Know that moderation in all things is the heart of balance. Remember that (according to Reality Transurfing) ‘balanced forces’ come into play when we over-exert, whether positively or negatively. In gathering excess ‘potential’ we overcook the system, triggering those ‘balanced forces’ to even things out again. We want to avoid building up excess potential in the vibrational system.
Know that the heart needs to be as connected as the mind to this appreciation work. Really get into the habit of feeling the Lucky Me within the heart. This will double, triple, quadruple the efficacy of your practice, because it will root it in your vibrational system.
When you say the ‘efficacy’ of the practice, what do you mean? What are we seeking to effect or affect?
The result of the appreciation practice is, on the one hand, the rewiring of neural pathways so that the ‘ching!’ sensitivity (spark joy!) is heightened. On the other hand, this is about raising personal vibrational frequency. When the vibrational frequency is raised, we start to align with the aspects of life we are leaning towards in our hopes and dreams. In Abraham-Hicks language, we are starting to vibrate with our ‘vortex’.
So feeling the Lucky Me in the heart is an important factor.
Words of appreciation can be empty of affect in certain regards. It’s the feeling of appreciation that fosters the upgrade process, both physiologically (the neural rewiring, the calming of the nervous system, the relaxing of the adrenal glands…) and vibrationally (the frequency rise).
So if today you said (internally or aloud) “Lucky me!…”, today work with feeling the feeling of “Lucky me!…” in the heart. You might articulate it too. But learn to sense that appreciation in the heart. This growing capability will be a great asset in your portfolio of life skills.
From the centre of my heart… Lucky me. <3
Today I am feeling the feeling of “Lucky me!…” in my heart.
