for sending thanks out to them, and they feel great for giving you whatever
they gave and for being appreciated. Which makes you feel great again. Which
makes them feel great again—you could basically spend the rest of your lives
passing thank-you notes back and forth. And because
it makes you feel good to
be in such a state of gratitude, it puts you at a very high frequency and
connects you to Source Energy, which puts you in a more powerful state to
manifest more good feeling things and experiences into your life.
Conversely, when you show up disappointed or angry or guilty or oblivious
instead of being grateful, you’re at a lower frequency and thereby less
connected to Source Energy and in a less powerful state to manifest good
feeling things and experiences into your life.
So that’s all fabulous and great, but here’s where the whole gratitude thing
gets really cool. There are lots of ways to feel good and raise your frequency
and get closer to Source Energy, but with gratitude, you’re actually expending
positive energy by sending out thanks, which makes positive energy reflect
back to you—every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This makes the
manifesting process even more powerful.
It’s like the difference between seeing someone fall apart laughing and
seeing them fall apart laughing
at something you said. The first usually makes
you feel as good and laugh as hard as they do, which raises your frequency, but
with the second situation, you’re not just meeting them at a high frequency,
you’re
exchanging energy at a high frequency. Their laughter is like their way
of thanking you for saying something hilarious, and it gives off an even more
powerful zing and stronger connection.
As Wallace Wattles explains in
The Science of Getting Rich: “You cannot
exercise much power without gratitude; for it is gratitude that keeps you
connected with Power.”
You are practically powerless without gratitude—thems is some pretty big
words, Wattles! When you actively send this grateful energy out, you receive it
back, bringing you closer and closer to Source Energy and raising your
frequency higher and higher with each exchange until you come to the visceral
understanding that you are the same stuff as Source Energy and that you
consciously or unconsciously manifested your reality yourself out of the
infinite nothingness and everythingness. Gratitude connects you to the truth
that you not only have the power to manifest that which you seek, but you
are
the power. Which means, in essence, when you are being grateful to Source
Energy you are being grateful to yourself. Which brings it back to the most
powerful thing of all: Self- love. Tah dah!
