Excerpt from Attitude Alignment: the Art
of Getting What You Want!
https://www.AttitudeIsPower.com
In her book, Go For It!!! Dr. Irene C. Kassorla P.B., writes about a patient she had
during her internship, named Charlie Blake. Charlie was known
throughout Britain as one of the sickest men in the country because he had severe
schizophrenia. For thirty years he sat in a rocking chair, rocking
back and forth while staring at the ground and muttering
guttural sounds out of his throat. Irene decided to do
her doctorate thesis on positive verses negative strokes. The results were so
astounding that her peers accused her of using drugs. But all she did was
send positive vibes.
Beginning with the first day she began working with him she took a
rocking chair in and started rocking with him in "sync," and
then she would turn her shoulders toward him, give him loving
eye contact, lean toward him and start to compliment him. She'd say things like,
"Charlie, I like the way you blink your eyes." "Charlie, I like the
tone in your voice, it's very nice."
She took her shoulders and turned away
from him if he ever started into a psychotic behavior or low
guttural sounds. As she turned away she would count to 10 and then she
would turn back around and start praising him again. In twenty-nine days,
she had Charlie Blake walking, talking and answering the
majority of her questions correctly.
If she can get those kind of results with someone who's been basically
dead for thirty years, imagine the results we could have with
some of the people at work, and the people we love at home, if
we just sent positive vibes now and again.
Reach Out & Touch Someone!
A woman who enrolled in a series of
classes I taught, came to class one night to report an
incident where she was able to understand the full immediate
effects of her attitude.
She was driving up I-5 to Seattle when a pick-up truck with three grubby adolescent boys were following close on her back bumper. She watched them
approach and felt an instant dislike for them. They enjoyed
taunting her and harassing her with their vehicle. Her judgment
was that they were bad, unruly and unkempt. She said that in that moment
she felt that every cell in her body wanted to "slap them upside the
head " for being so disruptive and unsafe on the highways.
She was more angry at them then she was frightened for her life, even though the
game they were engaged in had the makings of life-threatening disaster.
Then she remembered what she'd been
learning in my classes. She knew about vibes and how a label
immediately becomes the vibe we are sending. So, she recognized
instantly all the loathing she felt for these three boys and
she decided to try to shift her attitude. It wasn't easy,
because they were dangerously taunting her by this point. She remembered what I
had told my little first grade class of unwanted children:
when you find yourself in a situation that's too icky for you,
and there's no way you can make yourself feel love for someone
because they are too repulsive, spell out the word love in your mind. The
word itself carries a definite energy, whether you feel it or
not. It still holds a powerful vibration. So she began to spell it
out in her mind: L-O-V-E - L-O-V-E - L-O-V-E . It was only a matter
of minutes before the boy driving decided he'd had enough fun.
The car sped up, and off into the sunset they went! Later, in class, the
woman said she had actually felt their energy disengage as the
space between them became peaceful.
The "You Jerk, Idiot,
Testosterone Freak" Vibe!
Road rage is a direct result of a lot
of bad, bad vibes being conveyed. People are upset, they
get cut off, they think a condescending thought. That vibe is
immediately felt and the person receiving that vibe, if he or
she's already had a bad day, is bound to send vibe back - and of
course you know what vibe I'm talking about!
I, like you have had many
of these experiences to draw on and reflect.
One day, many years ago, as I was driving along, a man
in a pick-up tried to speed up and pull in front of me before the light. I
didn't really see him until it was too late and so he was not
able to squeeze in. So he flipped me off. I was not in a good
mood that day, and my instant opinion of him was jerk,
idiot, testosterone freak!
Now I was fully aware that I was
energetically conveying a very, very negative "bite-me" vibe
(pushing back vibes), and I still wanted to give it to him
with both barrels. What a jerk! He was now driving
like a reckless maniac, trying to show me who was the most
powerful of the two of us. I decided to check
back into my "be a good
example of what humanity can be" self, and convinced myself
that I needed to pull my energy back in and stop this
nonsense.
I decided in that moment to give him a big
smile! So I
flashed him my best good vibe smile - and he flipped me off
again! But in
that moment, I had a sudden out-of-body experience of seeing
how stupid we both looked, and it made me laugh. He saw me laugh, a
genuine heartfelt laugh, and he began to laugh! The energy between
us was instantly transformed and we
drove off away from each other with a realization of how crazy
we can make our lives and our experiences. |
