As you proactively engage with people and events with a sense of appreciation, you entrain or
attract more positive experiences, and your life becomes happier. As you become happier,
appreciating becomes easier, especially when you realise that appreciating is what brought
you this happiness in the first place. The direct and unmistakable result of appreciation is
happiness. Appreciation begets more appreciation. The more it’s used, the more we find
ourselves spontaneously doing appreciating and the more opportunities seem to come our way
for using it.
The energy of appreciation is a vital part of our search for happiness in life. Appreciating proac-
tively, we can learn how to appreciate most effectively to receive the benefits of our hearts de-
sires.
Power of Appreciation
Start by valuing and being grateful for what you already have.

Then you launch your desire vibrationally with clarity, focus and intention, all the while replacing
any negative thoughts with positive thoughts. The Perception Cycle is a particularly useful tool
for this.

Too often when we have less of something we want, we dismiss what we do have. If you think,
“My bills are too high” you are expressing dissatisfaction with your current income. You aren’t
appreciating what the money you now have can do for you, instead you pay attention only to
what it can’t do. Focused on lack in this way, you become critical of your current condition,
oblivious to the fact that this mode of thinking is contributing to your problem.
Such an attitude makes it difficult to attract anything different. As long as your vibration around
money, for example, is critical, blaming and dissatisfied, you will focus your energies negatively
on other money problems. You cannot attract more pounds if you don’t appreciate the pounds
you already have. Instead, think, “I am grateful that my current income can pay some of my
bills.” Now you are aligning with a positive vibration about money. Appreciating the pounds you
do have with enthusiasm, will most rapidly bring more pounds to you. If you have only one
pound coin to your name, treasure it. If you have a fortune, even as you want more, treasure it.
Develop a sense of value and gratitude for the money you have, no matter how little or how
much.

“Wait a minute” you will say. “If I am satisfied with this one pound coin, won’t I get stuck with
only this one measly pound coin?” Not if you’re launching a vibration of desire for more. Don’t
confuse the vibration of the specific desire you are launching with the vibration of your general
appreciation for money. Appreciating the money you have is the foundation from which you
can successfully launch appreciation for the money you desire. It is not the end of the story.
If you have none of the things you desire, so that you are not simply trying to attract more, but
are starting from scratch, its even more important to have a positive appreciation of the things
you want. For example, just because you don’t have any money, that doesn’t prevent you from
valuing and being grateful for money in general. So, if you think “I have no money at all, I’m
worthless”, delete those thoughts immediately shift your focus quickly to affirmations such as,
“Other people attract money, so will I” and “Money is a wonderful thing, I can feel the
deliciousness of it.” The affirmations you create, consciously or unconsciously will help sustain
your positive vibration around your desire.
Once you value and are grateful for what you already have, it’s time to launch your desire
vibrationally.
In a place where you won’t be disturbed or distracted, sit comfortably, and close your eyes.
Think about all that you value in the thing that you wish to attract. Think about the good things it
will do for you and how it will make you feel. Remember to attach emotion to your thoughts to
enhance the results. Think in personal intimate terms that have true meaning for you.
