We have a choice in how we view the Universe – friendly or unfriendly. Albert Einstein once said, “I think the most important question facing humanity is, ‘Is the universe a friendly place?’ This is the first and most basic question all people must answer for themselves.”
Our past experiences often shape our thoughts. We believe the Universe is friendly or unfriendly. But what if the Universe is friendly and we can’t see it? If we see it as anything else, then we need to adjust our thinking to see it.
Believing in a Kind Universe Sends Kindness Back to You
If the Universe put us here, then why wouldn’t it be friendly towards us? If you look at all the things growing across the earth, you will see that everything has its own time.
- The flowers have beautiful petals.
- The bees pollinate the flowers so that more flowers will grow.
- The sun gives the energy and strength to the flower to grow.
- Rain also plays a part in helping flowers grow.
Everything in a flower’s life is on schedule. There is a time for the flower to grow. And a time for the flower to die and return to the earth to create more flowers. The intelligence of the Universe has set this process in motion.
If you look in your own life, you will see many ways the Universe takes care of you. The air we breathe comes from our trees. And how our bodies take care of themselves in many ways. We do not need to think about breathing, for example, consciously. We breathe automatically.
Even when we want to manifest something in our lives, the Universe helps us. Suppose you’ve ever noticed that when you think about something or someone, they show up. The Universe is telling us it is listening when this happens.
To manifest more things, we want into our lives, we must trust the Universe to bring it to us.
Trusting the Universe Takes Away Anxiety When Thinking of the Future
The way the universe works is that we must ask for what we want. If you define our vision, the Universe sets out to bring it to us. When we are in alignment with the Universe, we are in alignment with what we want. There are several fundamental laws of the Universe we can follow to make it happen.
Buddha once said, “We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.”
He believes that we show trust in the Universe through our thoughts. If we choose to believe the Universe is kind, we will be in alignment with it. We will see more possibilities, opportunities, and choices available to us.
If you believe the Universe is unkind, then you are not aligned with it. Not aligning with the Universe makes it harder to manifest what you want. You may not see the opportunities in front of you.
5 Easy Ways to Get the Universe on Your Side
If you think negative thoughts, what you think will determine your decisions. For example, if you think you will never achieve your goal, it stops the Universe from helping you. The Universe then believes you don’t want to achieve your goal. If instead, you focus on your goal and work towards it, the Universe will open doors to your achieving it.
As you can see, you have a part to play in getting the Universe on your side. Following some of these techniques will help you align with the Universe.
- Practice Meditation
Meditation brings us into stillness. Clear out your thoughts to hear your true self. When you are in meditation, you can download information from the Universe. Meditation takes practice. Once you get into the habit of meditation, it gets easier. The Universe often speaks to us when we are still, and our minds are not cluttered with thoughts.
- Be in Gratitude
If you feel apathetic or have a bad attitude, the negative will increase. When you practice gratitude, you increase it in your life. If you ever find yourself caught in anxiety or depression, practice a lot of gratitude.
- Take gratitude walks where you take a break and thank the Universe for everything in your life.
- Imagine yourself in appreciation for receiving the clients, money, or success you want.
- Take a few moments in your day to inhale gratitude and exhale anything negative.
Doing these simple practices will shift your energy to align with the Universe.
- Practice Giving and Receiving
To get from the Universe, you often must give first. By giving your time and energy to someone in need of help, you encourage the Universe to give to you in return. Like “Pay it Forward,” you are putting energy into the Universe that you can receive in your “bank” later. That’s how karma works. When you do something good, you receive that karma later in return for giving.
Be willing and open to receive. If you turn away what the Universe wants to give you, it may not bring you things as often in return for giving. When someone gives you something, learn to say thank you and receive it. If you don’t need it, you can always give it to someone else.
- Practice Abundance
Abundance is the art of having many things like money, friends, and other things. It not only works with things, but also with universal concepts like love, luck, and health.
The way to practice abundance is to think of every object as having plenty of it. Take, for example, a pen. If you have one, you have plenty. You only need one to write with at a time. If you have 8 pens, for example, you may already realize that you have plenty. You have one to write with and 7 more in case the ink runs out.
Train your thinking to this method of practicing abundance. You will then see one as many, and it will increase how many you have over time.
- Give Your Worries and Intentions to the Universe
If you ever have concerns and anxiety, give it to the Universe to handle. The issue may seem to be too big for you. But the Universe knows how to handle it and exactly how to resolve it. The Universe can often handle things where they are easy for you.
We have a way of making things more complicated than they need to be. When we hand our concerns over to the Universe, we can sit back and rely on the Universe to solve them. If the Universe needs us to play a part in the resolution, it will bring us opportunities.
When you hand over your intentions to the Universe, you also ask the Universe to bring you what you desire. The Universe can then worry about who, what, when, where, and how until you receive it.
The Universe is on your side. When you learn to align with it, you can manifest what you want. The first step starts with changing your thinking. When you discover the Universe is friendly, things get easier.
