We possess an inherent power to transform our lives, a power that lies not just in our thoughts and words, but profoundly in our feelings. Unity teaches us the constant operation of the Law of Mind Action, where our inner landscape reflects in our outer experiences. Quantum physics, with its understanding of energy and interconnectedness, offers a compelling parallel: our feelings are not passive states but dynamic energetic vibrations that actively shape our reality.
At the heart of creation lies what Unity calls the Divine Substance, an infinite, intelligent energy that responds to our consciousness. Our thoughts and, even more powerfully, our feelings act as the blueprint, molding this substance into the fabric of our lives. As Jesus wisely taught, “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours” (Mark 11:24).1 This “belief” transcends mere intellectual agreement; it involves a deep, emotional knowing, a felt sense of already possessing our desired reality.
Unity co-founder Charles Fillmore emphasized this vital connection, stating, “You must feel the reality of your word. It must be more than a thought; it must be a feeling, vibrant with life and energy.” Our feelings provide the energetic charge that animates our intentions, directing the flow of Divine Substance and creating a resonant field that attracts experiences aligning with our dominant vibrational state.
Harnessing the Quantum Power of Feeling: Practical Techniques
To consciously tap into this transformative power, consider incorporating these practices into your daily life:
- Cultivate Gratitude: Regularly focus your attention and immerse yourself in the feeling of gratitude for the blessings present in your life. This elevates your vibrational frequency and attracts more to be thankful for.
- Practice Loving-Kindness: Engage in meditations or simply moments of intentionally generating feelings of Love and compassion towards yourself and others. This heart-centered practice creates a powerful, positive energetic outflow.
- Engage in Creative Visualization with Feeling: When you visualize your desired outcomes, go beyond simply seeing the images in your mind. Truly feel the joy, peace, or abundance associated with having already achieved them. Let these emotions permeate your being.
- Affirm with Emotional Resonance: When stating affirmations, do so with genuine feeling and conviction. Allow the words to resonate within your heart, imbuing them with life and energy, rather than just repeating them mechanically.
- Practice Emotional Awareness: Pay attention to the feelings that arise throughout your day. Acknowledge them without judgment and consciously choose to cultivate more positive and empowering emotional states.
By consciously engaging with the power of our feelings, we move beyond the limitations of mere positive thinking and step into the realm of intentional creation. As we align our inner vibrational landscape with the reality we desire, we activate the quantum power within us and become conscious co-creators of our best lives.
Always with Love,
