Where is your energy focused?

Our next project is due to begin in 2 days, (July 1st) and I’ve decided that it might be interesting and informative to explore the following concepts:

• Where attention goes energy flows.
• What you focus on grows.

I first heard this idea way back in the day when I was deeply involved in Transcendental Meditation, and listening to lots of talks by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a new concept then, nor is it new today, and it does seem to have some truth to it.

For example:

You will notice where ever you put your intention, it will occupy a place in your mind/ thoughts. What you focus on has a tendency to grow in life. So today if you are brooding over your unhappy life situation, an unstable bank balance, a broken relationship or your ill health, the fact is, it will trigger a chain of similar thoughts leading to worry and unhappiness.

So what’s the project?

My idea is to spend the next 30 days taking a look at where it is that we are focusing our thoughts, and begin to work on consciously changing that focus so that we are paying attention to those things, situations, and circumstances that we WANT to flow into our experience of life.

The project is due to “officially” begin on July 1st. If you are interested in exploring these ideas and this concept with me, feel free to jump in at any time. I’d love to hear your experiences, insights, and ideas.
