It is a pure delight to be in this state and the beauty of this is to know that it is a choice… Yes! We have the choice to live our life to the fullest and express our gifts and talents with the world. Is this an easy choice? Not always of course… but it is a simple one! If we choose to nurture our connection with Source every single day, our life becomes easier and easier; we live in the flow of Life and not against it.

But Sylvie, I can hear you say… how do we do this when we are surrounded by so much negativity? We have to look at what is… this is the real thing, don’t you know it?

And I would answer you… what is real? The reality that we choose to live in becomes our reality, but it is only a reality and by tapping the Source with Gratitude, we have the capacity to create a whole new level of reality, that I call The Reality! In quantum physics, scientists discovered that a wave of energy (possibility) transforms into a particle (reality) when it is observed by someone. Wow! We have this kind of power and this is wonderful to not only believe it because we intellectually learned it, but because we have experienced it over and over again.

I would like to introduce you to different people who are constantly tapping the Source, knowing some universal principles to create abundance and happiness in their lives.

Tapping the Source: using the Master Key System for Abundance and Happiness

In the movie Tapping the Source: using the Master Key System for Abundance and Happiness, William Gladstone, Richard Greninger and Gayle Newhouse ask people from around the world to share their personal story and one section of the movie is entirely dedicated to Gratitude! I was deeply moved when I watched this film and I would like to share its powerful message.

When he was 15 years old, William Gladstone had a near-death experience and it completely transformed his view of life; at that crucial moment when all his vital signs had stopped, he was the happiest he had ever been in his entire life! So he started to ask himself… why this was the case? Why am I here and what is the source of happiness for human beings?

In the movie, he invites us on this journey of tapping the Source as he meets with incredible human beings, great business owners, artists and athletes and sweet children… He asks them all the same question: What is the source of happiness for human beings?

One element that is stated over and over is to be of service and to contribute to humanity! Wow! This is so great!!! Are they having challenges? Of course… but they find a way to connect with Source and to bring more joy to their life! They say that we are intended to experience a deep sense of joy and a deep sense of well-being.

And my question is why this is not the case? Why human beings are suffering so much and experiencing pain and fears and so many difficulties?

At some point in the movie, Bob Proctor mentions something very interesting that answers my question… He says that the natural Laws of the Universe are so precise that we don’t have any difficulty building spaceships, sending people to the moon and time the landing with the precision of a second! This is something that we take for granted; we know that… we can watch it on television or even on the Internet. But when it comes to our daily lives, we don’t apply them because we don’t understand these Laws! They are not taught in schools neither in religious institutions… so we don’t really understand how this universe operates!!! Maybe this is a topic that we should study, don’t you think?

I am so passionate about these natural Laws of the Universe! I want to learn everything about them; I am testing them; I am using them in all the ways possible; I am integrating them into my life on a daily basis because they are all part of my life’s purpose which is to spread and infuse the Essence of Gratitude around the world. They go hand in hand and it is awesome to understand clearly what those Laws are and how we can improve our entire Life, when we study them and apply them day after day.

What I found though is when I am grateful… truly grateful in my heart, then my thoughts, my projects, my dreams tend to unfold in a magical way. When I am talking about Gratitude, I am not referring to it as a pretty, cute feeling or as an obligation… I am in tune with the resonance of Gratitude, which I call the Essence of Gratitude. And this state of being vibrates at a very, very high level, thus, lower vibrations such as fears, doubts, lack, pain and so on cannot exist simultaneously. This is the real power of the Essence of Gratitude!

If we come back to the movie Tapping the Source, people think that Gratitude is probably the most important thing you can have in your life; that Gratitude comes first and then, your gifts can shine!

By now, you will certainly know that I totally agree with them… and furthermore, I love what Jack Canfield says in the movie. He said that “when you express your Gratitude, your hands are now open to receive”. This is so beautiful and powerful…

I invite you to watch this movie Tapping the Source; it’s an inspiring film that offers guidance and inspiration from people from all walks of life that share their experience of tapping the Source of happiness.

In Gratitude and with Love,

Sylvie Olivier

I am so delighted to have reached this milestone with my Gratitude Hearts. In November I began using one of my patio doors as the place to create and post my hearts. Something special occurred one night while I was in my mid 800’s hearts that made me move my tree to another location. There was this absolute knowing it had to be moved.

I began to notice two things: first that so much of this glass window was covered that less sun was penetrating the room and with the spring and summer coming, the prospect didn’t look appealing. Second, it looked like the tree’s growth was stifled. I looked around the room and noticed an area near the staircase that would work. Within two hours the whole tree was moved. It felt good to see the moonlight from my office.

The next morning as I descended the stairs it occurred to me that the tree represented my own expansion and as I admired its new size I knew it was now located in the right place for it to flourish.

Since  childhood, I have always been drawn to Beauty, all kinds of beautiful things filled with Grace: music, books, flowers, rich colors, natural landscapes, furniture, beautiful fabrics and so on. I have always loved to read… but I was not reading cartoons like my friends, I was reading biographies and books that were elevating my soul. I was even reading about the lives of Jesus, Buddha, Krishna and Mother Teresa and I wanted to learn about transmutation! I did not understand why I could not create an apple in my hand when I wanted to… SMILE!

Well, I think I don’t have to tell you that I was facing criticism from people around me, saying that I was snob and weird. And that my friends at school were making a fool out of me. I didn’t like that at all! I was deeply hurt by those comments and I gradually started to talk less and less about Beauty and Grace. Something was going wrong here, I didn’t understand what they meant but I wanted to be part of the tribe!

I went on with my life, trying to be grateful for what I had and not asking for more, until I truly understood the meaning of Gratitude; this wonderful state of being that gracefully flew throughout every cell of my body, until I was completely infused with its Essence. From that moment on, I shifted my energy to welcome Beauty and Grace as the most perfect outward expression of my soul. I was in resonance with the vibration of Beauty, Grace and Gratitude. This profound understanding completely transformed my life and I began to feel lighter, happier and in tune with Source, I was finally coming back home; this state of being created openness in my consciousness to receive these high vibrations in my life.

I would like to share what Thomas Troward said in his book called The Hidden Power in 1921; he states that:

“Wherever, therefore, we find Beauty, we may infer an enormous reserve of Power behind it; in fact, we may look upon it as the visible expression of the great truth that Life-Power is infinite. And when the inner meaning of Beauty is thus revealed to us, and we learn to know it as the very fullness and overflowing of power, we shall find that we have gained a new standard for the guidance of our own lives. We must begin to use this wonderful process which we have learnt from Nature. Having learnt how Nature works–how God works–we must begin to work in like manner, and never consider any work complete until we have carried it to some final outcome of Beauty, whether material, intellectual, or spiritual.”

I now live with this standard of Beauty, Grace and Gratitude even in the smallest task that I do; my husband is laughing sometimes because when I prepare food, I place them in the plate for them to reflect their Beauty and Grace and for us to be uplifted with the Essence of Gratitude when we eat, so our own health is enhanced to reach an optimal level.

I am now leaving you on these words… Surround yourself with Beauty, Grace and Gratitude and your life will become magical!

In Gratitude and with Love,

Sylvie Olivier

I met Gratitude during one of the most challenging time of my life. It was really hard for me to see every aspect of my life falling apart. My daughter’s health started to decline when her father and I separated from each other. It was not my choice and I was in real pain… I found myself alone, having no money, no hope and with so many responsibilities. That was an awful moment, but from that despair I received the most beautiful gift ever… I was infused with the Essence of Gratitude!

I will share an excerpt of my book Gratitude in Action – Actions of Gratitude to express the transformative potential of Gratitude:

“At a certain moment, Mylène (my daughter) obtains a release from the hospital for the weekend. While she is with me, I see her health decline, life seems to run out of her small body; she is so pale that her skin is translucent, we see her veins through her lips and her face is waxen; she weakens to such a point that I decide to return to the hospital earlier than planned.

“It is at this moment that I am in a state of shock for the first time of my life. I am told that Mylène has approximately six to seven hours to live if she does not receive a blood transfusion. The doctors, nurses and male nurses’ work around her and one of them tells me that a plane is coming from Toronto with a reserve of blood. These are the last words that I hear. From then on, all I hear is a buzz and I do not understand anything, until someone takes me by the shoulders to move me aside. I come back to my senses while feeling so vulnerable at the same time. How come there is nothing I can do to save my daughter?”

“… I spent the longest hours of my life walking the length of the hospital corridor. It was during one of these walks, which had become a ritual by now, that my eyes met the glance of a man walking past me as he smiled at me. At that moment I was overcome with an immense feeling of Gratitude. I felt warmth in my heart and it felt like a soothing balm coming to wrap itself around the suffering I was living. I was in a moment of my life when hope was at its lowest level and the smile of a man transformed it!”

“From that moment, I refused to fall sleep before having thanked the Universe for at least one Action of Gratitude I received during the day. This practice has never left me since!”

“This event happened more than 15 years ago and my daughter today is a beautiful healthy young woman expressing her youth in a magnificent way. This illness gave her a deep respect for Life and it is so beautiful to see her expressing her love of life!”

You probably know by now why Gratitude is so important for me! And this is my genuine desire to share what I received and support you in your own life.

So, I would love to leave you with this… If you choose Gratitude, I would be honored to gift you with my Infusion of Gratitude audio Meditation that you can download when you sign-up on our home page at www.explorationgratitude.com. Daily use of this meditation raises your awareness and puts you in a state of being where you will transform the quality of your life. And at some point, you will feel its rhythm, you will embody this marvelous vibration and you will tap the Source to manifest the life of your dreams!

In Gratitude and With Love,

Sylvie Olivier

Well, my heart is overflowing with love and joy with this idea. I truly feel called to be part of this Conception Day 2012, which is today, March 22^nd, 2012 to finally deliver her full potential of beauty, harmony and creativity 9 months later, December 22^nd, 2012 for The Birth of the Earth.

What does this mean?

It really means that WE, as a whole, have a choice now. We can choose to align with our higher Self and manifest another reality for ourselves and for the Earth. I firmly believe that we can shift a reality to The Reality, and if you want to read more about this, you can read my article called The Art of Shifting a reality to The Reality, where I share one of my personal experiences.

Exploration Gratitude’s mission is to spread and infuse the Essence of Gratitude around the world through the Seven Spheres of Gratitude and the first Sphere is the Sphere of the Earth, so I felt it was appropriate to start with Conception Day 2012.

I would like to share with you an excerpt of my book Gratitude in Action – Actions of Gratitude to better explain my thoughts:

“Gratitude sits down at my table in my company and

I appreciate the feast offered by Mother Nature!”

“The Earth enables us to live and evolve at our own rhythm since the beginning of time… it is time to express our Gratitude to her. Just like she accommodates each living being, she is also, a living organism.

Are we aware of what our planet is all about and of everything that she offers to support the life of all living beings? From the moment we make contact with her essence, we feel her energy vibrate in unison within each of our cells. It is our home and it is vital to treat her not only with respect but also with Gratitude.

What would you say about changing this and begin to choose consciously, starting today, to honor and thank the Earth for all the well-being she provides us?”

“If each human being offered a bit of Gratitude,

the whole Earth would reveal its masterpiece.”

It is amazing to see that I wrote this in 2010 and it fully supports this event initiated by Barbara Marx Hubbard. She envisioned first the possibility of creating a celebration that would include every single people on the planet! This lady is a real visionary leader, so when she shared her vision with Jack Canfield and William Gladstone, they decided to go for it and they wrote The Golden Motorcycle Gang. When I first read this book, I simply knew that I wanted to be involved to serve in the best possible ways.

So now, I am inviting you to Conception Day 2012 TODAY, March 22nd  – a free live webcast event where thousands of us will gather worldwide to make a commitment to birth a new era!

The event features Barbara Marx Hubbard, Neale Donald Walsch, Jean Houston, Michael Beckwith, Jack Canfield, Lynne McTaggart and other top leaders sharing their insights about this all-important year and giving you tools that empower you to create a new story for humanity.

Registration is free. Sign up here: http://conceptionday2012.com

This is an opportunity to come together, envision and cocreate a world that is healthy, sustainable, peaceful and prosperous for all.

I hope you can join me! Note: You can sign up even if you can’t attend live and The Shift Network, producers of this event, will email you a link to the event recording.

“Gratitude is the smile of love.” ~ Author Unknown

With an intention set for the day my message of gratitude read as follows:

“I live joyously and freely the “Essence of Gratitude” and I make it radiate.”

Every morning as I reach out to pick my message of the day, I wonder how I will be inspired to live my day! Today I was inspired to do just that, live joyously and freely the “Essence of Gratitude” and make it radiate. It started with sun greeting me through my bedroom curtains in the morning as it does everyday and making bold decisions. You know we don’t always have to inspire others; we often need to inspire ourselves too!

Being mindful of the joyous feeling in my heart I simply let it inspire me towards creating a new reality for me. Then I noticed how it radiated on the faces of all my family members as I met them at throughout the day. It made me recognize the beautiful things about me and how much these things nurture me in return. This new reality will continue to unfold everyday as I allow the miracles to unfold before my eyes. This is a divine, blessed and abundant day! Live it with gusto!

 With heartfelt Gratitude,

Angie

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” ~ Albert Einstein

With an intention set for the day my message of gratitude read as follows:

“I thank my hands for all the work they do in one day!”

Every morning as I reach out to pick my message of the day, I wonder how I will be inspired to live my day! What a wonderful idea to thank my hands for all the work they do in one day. How could I do this and get a strong sense of what it is to have two hands? I considered using a mindfulness approach, which is an attentive awareness of all things around us.

I began by maintaining as much as possible a calm awareness in my movements, in the sensations that I felt when I touched things or when I picked up things. The realization of how many other muscles are used and flexed to enable us to lift and to hold so powerfully in our hands was amazing. To think I take all this for granted fills me with the blessing that we are a miracle. I invite you to try just for an hour to be mindful in the way you use your hands and experience the fullness of you!

With heartfelt Gratitude,

Angie

“God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say “thank you?”” – William A. Ward

With an intention set for the day my message of gratitude read as follows:

“I observe myself in my process of learning to express Gratitude and I say to myself THANK YOU!”

Every morning as I reach out to pick my message of the day, I wonder how I will be inspired to live my day! I never considered saying “Thank you” to myself before until I read Louise Hay’s book “Heal Your Body, You Can Heal Your Life” several years ago. When I think of it, it was the beginning of a very committed process of awakening to my sacred self and it was then that I understood how important it was to acknowledge “me” and say “Thank you” for I am part of this extraordinary team that is with me all the time, so accepting of all my decisions.

Part of learning to express Gratitude and give thanks to oneself is to love oneself as well. It goes hand in hand with the process. Today was not as easy as I would have hoped, as there was a lot of resistance to allow my heart to totally express itself without the rational part of me getting in the way, so after a while I chose to go for a walk and check up on my sticky snowman.

As I approached the park I noticed that the snowman was not as visible and a young boy probably aged 13 was walking around it. By the time I got on the grounds of the park the young boy had left and it was now evident to me that after two days of warm weather “sticky snowman” was no longer present.

Sticky Snowman a beautiful life!

I couldn’t help myself to acknowledge two feelings, sadness for he was no longer present as a snowman and happiness because I could still see traces of him and I could express my Gratitude for the insights that helped me change my perspective. His almond eyes and teeth were scattered all over his face, his sticky hands were still by his side and the only thing missing was the pink papered tulip. Oh, what joy, the spirit of what it represents continues to live in someone else’s life!

Sticky snowman appeared in the park as the moon was moving towards a new full moon phase and he left at the end of that phase setting in motion a new transformative phase for me. I am grateful for this divine, blessed and abundant day!

With heartfelt Gratitude,

Angie
