Day 389: Get Receptive!

Posted on September 3, 2019

So obviously I think a lot about the Law of Attraction. In fact, it’s one of the most heavily written-about categories on this blog (see right side bar). Basically, a substantial part of my “happiness obsession” is wanting to master my own thinking, so that I can attract all the peace, joy, and satisfaction that is available to me. Understanding the Law of Attraction feels like an essential piece to this puzzle, therefore, I am constantly reading, writing, and listening to recordings on the subject.

Abraham-Hicks has proven to be one of my favorite communicators on the Law of Attraction. I am constantly listening to their recordings. My continuous study of their ideas is giving me clarity on topics I care about greatly: how our thoughts create our reality, and how to use that knowledge to create Joyful and Satisfying things 🙂

One of the concepts that I keep thinking about is called “The Receptive Mode.” As I understand it, this concept refers to attaining a mood where you are open to receiving. Law of Attraction is always giving us back something that is consistent with our own mood/thinking/vibration. The goal of being in the receptive mode is that you are open to inspiration, open to guidance toward other positive thoughts, moods, or experiences.

I realized recently that one reason I so love going to the cafe is that I find that it is incredibly effective to get me in the receptive mode. When I am there, whether I am reading, writing, thinking, or playing (as in a video game on my phone), I am practicing an open-minded, thoughtful mood that is relaxed, inspirable, receptive. That is the key.

A quiet mind is a receptive mind. I am learning that meditation is a great tool to quiet your mind. When this occurs, you can be more receptive about attracting new ideas and inspirations that will help you.

Just today I was jogging, and I stopped to sit at a park bench at a nice park that has a pond and lots of nice trees. As I sat there, I noticed something bothering me. I got still, even meditated a moment, and I soon realized what was bothering me: I was thinking that I wouldn’t have any time to go to the cafe today, and I found this frustrating, because I wanted to spend time being in the receptive mode!

The reason I put that last part in italics is that I’m not sure I realized before what was going on. I knew I liked “blissing out” at the cafe, but now it is clicking much more why this is. I love getting into that calm, centered mind state. That is where I consistently get good thinking done. And I am open to being inspired.

It is where I am consistently able to quiet down my mind and get receptive.

I am realizing how addictive being in that mind state has gotten for me. But then, I suppose feeling good, being able to think clearly, and enjoying oneself can get rather addictive.

It certainly beats the alternative.
