Scripting : An Easy way to use Law of Attraction | Write down your Manifestations! #3


We all have imagined our future and played make-believe games at a point of our life. We used to get excited when we imagined our dreams coming true. But soon you get your feet onto the ground and realise that simply dreaming will not get your wishes fulfilled. As we grew into adults, we forgot the magic of life. Our lives became robotic and there was no place for dreams and miracles. To unlock the treasures of life, first we must reactivate the magic of life, the magic of dreams. It’s time that you forget about your limitations and dream again like a child. Get yourself a paper and pen and jot down all your desires.



Divide your life into sections – Profession, Health, Relationships, Material requirements, etc. Write down each and every detail about how you would like your life to be under those sections. The kind of job, your paycheck, your workplace, your colleagues, your employer, your customers or if you want to start a business, your employees, etc. And, about your health or physical state – Is there any illness which you want to heal from, do you want to lose/gain weight, increase the length of your hair, change eye colour…anything. Do you want to heal the damaged relationships with your loved ones? Just write down your entire life the way you want it to be. 

Write down every detail you can think about. Write it this way – Wouldn’t it be good if I had……………… or Wouldn’t it be fantastic if I was………………… Once you are done with your (long!) list, it’s time to change the dimensions. Convert each sentence from ‘If I had………….’ to ‘Thank You very much that I have………….’

For example – ‘Thank you very much that I have a beautiful house’ or ‘I am grateful that my height has increased’ or even ‘I feel thankful that my relation with my friend has healed and we are happy again with each other’ By writing down all this, you are subconsciously telling your mind that all of this has already happened and you are grateful about it. The concept of Gratitude is very deep with respect to Law of Attraction. I will put up a complete post only about gratitude next.

Now that you are done changing all the sentences, read the all over. Read them with full feelings. As you read the, you will have to visualize each of them to be true at This Very Moment. That will create excitement in your body, might even give goose flesh out of pleasure. Feel that emotion completely. Give Thanks again if you feel like as if all your desires are fulfilled. If you are having a problem feeling those emotions, just visualize your goals to have manifested and you are enjoying them. 
Remember, visualize in both 1st person and 3rd person. If your desire was a house, start with closing your eyes and mentally imagine that you have opened the entrance doors of it. Walk inside and look at the lavish furniture and rich chandelier dangling from the ornately decorated ceiling. Feel the smell of Rose perfume wafting through the corridors as you walk through them, listen to the sounds of your family member’s merrymaking at the huge dinner table. Feel the taste of your favourite dish made by your chef as you eat and chat with your family. All of this imagination will surely give you vibrations of pleasure and excitement. Those feelings are the key for manifestations. It is those feelings which turbo-charge your visualization and bring all the happiness in the world for you. Don’t contemplate upon how it will come true. That’s not your job. You just have to act as if you have received all the happiness in the world. The moment you worry about ‘how’ it will happen, you are giving the vibrations of ‘not having’ your desires. This will create resistance. It is your job to feel good. As I said earlier, our feelings are our biggest blessings. We humans are the only creatures who can consciously decide how we want to feel. By feeling the way, we want to feel (even faking the feeling will also work!), we can send positive vibrations from our body which will return as positive things and positive experiences.

After visualizing your dream, just simply feel good and get on with life. Now that you have given to the universe the list of what you want, its your job to feel as if you have received all of your dreams. Make it a point to remind yourself every time that you MUST STAY HAPPY every moment. I know that its difficult as our mood is influenced by many factors. But at least, we can ensure that we stay happy and excited for most of the time. When you start becoming more and more enthusiastic and joyful for small things such as, a tasty cup of coffee, a very good joke from your colleague, a smile from your daughter, a lick from your dog, you are attracting more of those happy moments. Slowly, your days will get better and you would be able to stay happy for longer times. That state of mind will bring all of your desires into your life.

Use Meditation to Reprogram your Mind for Manifestations #102


Think of the mind as a road and thoughts as vehicles. Most of the time, this road has a traffic jam. Many thoughts flood our mind often that we get exhausted trying to attend all of them. The best way to calm down the mind is to meditate.



As a LoA beginner or as a person having difficulty trying to manifest, meditation is a good place to start. Meditation slows down the traffic of thoughts and enhances the brain’s concentration power. This means that you will have more control over your mind and you will be able to consciously decide on what thoughts you want to put your energy into. Meditation also helps you to lower the risk of getting irritated, depressed or angered. 

When I say Meditation, it does not mean hours and hours of sitting silently and concentrating. Every meditator in the world started with 3-5 min per day. And, no one was ever successful in blocking the thoughts even after weeks of practice. Meditation is an art and it requires some time to master this art. You just need to sit down for 5 minutes per day and focus on breathing. Let the thoughts come and go. Don’t resist them nor get carried away by them. If you get distracted, just simply come back to breathing. Slowly, your distractions will reduce. This is a sign that the mind is getting calm day by day. Meditation makes Law of Attraction a breeze to use. I would recommend using an app for beginners called ‘Head Space’ in Play Store. This app is great as you can put on your earphones and instructions will be passed on to you as you meditate.

A Scientific Introduction to Law of Attraction #101


Craft was never only about hand-made works or painting techniques for me. Whenever you create something, it was Craft. It is this Craft which gives Human Beings a special place in our world – the creature who can create. So, let’s get into the depths of Craft and understand the art of creating life. Let’s master the creative technique to live! This post and its successors will bring money, health, love, happiness and all the things you ever desired for into your life easily. 

This is the starting of a brand-new series of posts in this blog. Law of Attraction Simplified into a series of steps. Allow me to seamlessly weave the power of positive thinking into our lives and make it a way of living. In this blog, I shall explain all I know about Law of Attraction, Meditation and Positive thinking. Let’s start with the introduction to Law of Attraction through the eyes of Quantum Science in a very simply way.

We know the universe is made of Space, Time and Energy. Matter, which is nothing but a bundle of atoms, also is Energy. When thought about it in atomic level, Atoms consists of electrons, protons and neutrons. These are noting but packets of energy, right? That simply says that everything in this universe is based on energy. When we talk about energy, we talk in terms of vibrations and frequencies. Vibrations is way energy transmits or communicates. Frequency is the measure of the intensity of vibrations.

 “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” – Nikola Tesla

We all work under a law – The Law of Attraction. It is almost as same as Gravitational Law. The only difference is that LoA is in terms of vibrations and is much more powerful that Gravitational Force. LoA says that ‘Like Attracts Like’. Like thoughts attract more such Like thoughts. Like feelings attract more Like feelings. Like Actions attract more such like actions. You might have encountered situations where, you think of a happy memory and many more happy memories just cling to it. Or, you might have felt depressed about something and you start remembering more bad things which worsen your situation. It is LoA working.

A thought is a network of neurons getting connected in our brain. A lot of electric activity happens among these millions of neurons which generate a thought. Each thought has a unique network. The Energy in these thoughts are radiated from our brain. These Vibrations have frequencies. The Frequency of any thought is depended upon the feeling associated with it. A thought with happy feeling has a powerful positive frequency. A thought with depressed emotion has a powerful negative frequency. So, depending upon the intensity of the thought in your brain, you are manifesting your life. The thoughts you have in your brain are sending powerful vibrations each and every moment of your life which in turn are creating your life. 
Your thoughts become things!

Law of Attraction can be as simple as this. So, you might be thinking, “I have a horrible life. I couldn’t have possibly thought all of that.” Well, the truth is that – Yes, you did attract all of that. But, Unconsciously.

Research shows that we have Thousands of thoughts every day. It is impossible to remember each and every thought or feeling we had. But, all of them have an impact over your life. Our thoughts can create our feelings and our feelings can create our thoughts. It is impossible to feel good and have negative thoughts or have happy thoughts and feel depressed. All our feelings throughout the day create many thoughts subconsciously of which we are not consciously aware of. These thoughts have the power to bring the same type of feelings, thoughts and situations back into our life.
You may have not noticed when you had an argument with someone and remained grumpy throughout the day, it just seems to get worse. You encounter more irritating situations into your day one after the other and at night, you wonder what a bad day you had! It is the law of attraction working. You may have heard a good news early in the morning and you just stay blissful. Many more happy things, people, situations and experiences just come one after the other. That’s again LoA. Your present state of mind is creating the future state of mind. All you need to understand is how to change your present state of mind so that you can create the future of your dreams.

It is actually a exhausting work to monitor all your thoughts throughout your life consciously. An easy way is to control your emotions as they have an unbreakable bond with your thoughts. Feel good throughout your day. Force the positive feelings like happiness, ecstasy, excitement, bliss, cheerfulness, joy, pleasure to flood into you. The coming posts will serve as a step-by-step instruction on how you can use LoA to attract abundance, prosperity, happiness, health and love into your life.

Make a Stunning Vase with Plaster of Paris and an Old Piece of Cloth


Truly, Plaster of Paris is a wonder material. Let's see what exactly it is -

Plaster is a building material used for the protective and/or decorative coating of walls and ceilings and for moulding and casting decorative elements. In English "plaster" usually means a material used for the interiors of buildings, while "render" commonly refers to external applications. Another imprecise term used for the material is stucco, which is also often used for plaster work that is worked in some way to produce relief decoration, rather than flat surfaces.
The most common types of plaster mainly contain either gypsum, lime, or cement, but all work in a similar way. The plaster is manufactured as a dry powder and is mixed with water to form a stiff but workable paste immediately before it is applied to the surface. The reaction with water liberates heat through crystallization and the hydrated plaster then hardens.
Plaster can be relatively easily worked with metal tools or even sandpaper, and can be moulded, either on site or to make pre-formed sections in advance, which are put in place with adhesive. Plaster is not a strong material; it is suitable for finishing, rather than load-bearing, and when thickly applied for decoration may require a hidden supporting framework, usually in metal.
Gypsum plaster, or plaster of Paris, is produced by heating gypsum to about 300 °F (150 °C).
CaSO4·2H2O + heat  CaSO4·0.5H2O + 1.5H2O


Procedure - 

  1. Mix Plaster Powder with water until you get a thick liquid consistency.
  2. Take a square shaped cloth (Of any material, my favorite choice is jute rag as it gives fantastic texture)
  3. Dip the cloth in plaster and completely soak it with the mixture.
  4. Take a tumbler/bottle and cover it with a plastic sheet.
  5. Invert it and put the cloth on it as shown - 
    

      6. Let it dry for 24 hrs 
      7. Remove the hardened vase and paint it with Acrylic/Enamel paints.

Growing Mango Tree from Seed in a Pot | Week 2 | Update 2

Hello People, Welcome to DIY Craftopedia

This is the 2nd update of my Mango Sapling. Nowadays its not so sunny here. Today was really cloudy but the heat persisted. The present atmospheric conditions here are: Temperature - 26 degree Celsius and 83% humidity. It is expected to rain in some parts of Hyderabad. I do wish it rains. Rain water has magical effects on new born saplings! It's true. I have tested it out that transplanted plants and newly sprouted plants love rain water.

Coming back to my Mango Sapling, It unfurled 3 new leaves which are still reddish brown. The size of one leaf is really good. The others are yet to increase. The remaining old leaves have turned really thick with highly saturated green color. I'm still continuing the water used for washing vegetable peels and food grains to water the plant. Otherwise, no extra fertilizer is used. Every morning, I place the plant in direct Sunlight (Whichever day, sunlight is available!).

Here are the pictures of my Mango Plant taken on 27-06-2018 (Wednesday)



A new bud is growing. Maybe it will produce more branches. Let's wait. To stay updated about my first Mango plant growing experience, follow my blog.

Make a Textured Bowl for your Table Top with Plaster of Paris


Making a Plaster of Paris Bowl

Hello Guys, Welcome to DIY Craftopedia!

Procedure -

  • Mix POP powder and water appropriately until you get a thick consistency.

  • Pour the mixture into the big bowl.
  • Press the smaller bowl into the POP mixture.
  • Put some heavy stones in the smaller bowl to hold it in place.
  • Leave it to dry overnight.

Growing Mango Tree from Seed in a Pot | Update 1

Hello People, Welcome back to DIY Craftopedia.

It's almost 1 week since my last (and the first) Mango plant post. The plant is nearly 3 weeks old. Its growing really healthy. The days are still sunny. The plant is receiving early morning direct sun rays and indirect rays throughout the day. The major update is that the leaves have turned Green completely today(21-06-2018). New major shoots are coming. The overall plant growth is commendable. I'm not yet giving any fertilizers. Almost every day, I use the water used for washing rice grains to water the plant. This technique was proved effective by me for many other plants and I think this is the reason for its healthy look. I would recommend you, not to use any chemical fertilizers as they might burn the sapling. Use the water used for washing food grains and vegetables/fruits to water the plant on regular basis.

Here are the pictures of my Mango plant taken on 21-06-2018
















Here you can see the new shoots coming - 
















This is the first update of my Mango Plant Growth done on 21-06-2018. Stay tuned for real-time update of its growth every week.
