Why Appreciation Feels Good
in your appreciating of them,
pure Energy flows through you.
Iow, they are your reason, temporarily, for your connection to Nonphysical Energy.

Appreciation is the key to Manifestation
Every time you praise something,
every time you appreciate something,
every time you feel good about something,
you are telling the Universe:
“More of this, please. More of this, please.”
You need never again make another verbal statement of this intent,
and if you were allowing your cork to float, all good things would flow to you.
Excerpted from Silver Spring, MD on 4/19/97
-
The more appreciation you give, the more appreciation you get
In appreciation, you are contributing BACK in the full measure,
of what you are receiving.
In other words, it puts the give-and-take into the perfect alignment!
Because, in your acknowledgement of the well being that surrounds you,
you give BACK proportionately.
And the entire Universe who is non-resistant,
this vortexual Universe in utter non-resistance just floods back.
In other words, it just keeps mirroring back.
You appreciate, Vortex appreciates, you appreciate, Vortex appreciates,
you appreciate, Vortex appreciates...
...until you just parlay yourself into greater statesof ecstasy.
~Abraham, Panama Canal Cruise, March 2011

Re: Gratitude vs Appreciation
On Appreciating your Body
We want you to look in the mirror, and we want you to see
the source shining back from you, from your eyes.
We want you to see the trillions of cells, in your body,
that are all perfect in their perfect response
to what it is that you are about.
We want you to see this magnificent physical apparatus.
We want you to adore the functioning of your brain-processes,
and the functioning of the way that your body is working.
We want you to see SO MUCH MORE,
to look in that mirror and see, and adore. (...)
You´ve just gotta train yourself to LIKE what you see!
You must like yourself. You must LIKE what you see,
before you can turn downstream, towards everything that's
in your vibrational escrow!
Which includes the body you want.
Which includes the relationships you want.
Which includes the dynamic dollars that you want.
Which includes the love of life, and adventure on this planet,
THAT YOU WANT.
You see, it's all there, for you! But you can't get there from there.
You´ve gotta change the way you see yourself.
And you've gotta do it, BEFORE the way you see yourself, changes!
That´s the thing that is so tricky!
"Oh yeah, I'll bang myself into a better position. And then, I'll like what I see.
Oh yeah!! I'll work really hard. I´ll deprive myself of this and this and this,
I´ll read the 400 000 000. book, that´s been written on what I should
and shouldn´t eat, I´ll follow the latest fad,
I´ll follow the latest fad relative to motions, I´ll MAKE IT HAPPEN.
I´ll make it happen, so that then, I can look in the mirror and like what I see."
And we say: It doesn´t work that way.
You´ve gotta look in the mirror AS YOU ARE,
and LIKE what you see-
and THEN, what you see will change.

Re: Gratitude vs Appreciation
Being thankful and being satisfied makes you be READY!
You´ve gotta be THANKFUL for this day.
And thankful for this chair,
and thankful for this opportunity,
and thankful for this conversation,
and thankful for the sunshine,
and for those highways,
thankful for this, appreciative of that.
Thankful for the quieted mind!
Thankful for the insight.
Thankful for the enthusiasm!
Thankful for the love in my heart!
Thankful for this precious face,
thankful for that person I´ve never met in my life -and on the elevator, had such a nice exchange with not even words, because there was a language barrier, but OMG, how good it was to meet you!!!
Thankful, thankful, thankful, thankful.
Thankful, thankful, thankful, thankful,

Thankful just brings more and more and more and more. And more.

Re: Gratitude vs Appreciation
HOW DOES IT WORK THAT WHEN YOU'RE ALONE, DOING APPRECIATION WORK, IT BENEFITS OTHERS WHO AREN'T THERE?
As you feel, you ooze. (...)
All of you are receiving on levels far beyond your language.
And so, as you think, you feel.
As you feel, you radiate or influence,
and that is what is making the difference.
That is why, when you lay on the rock [on a beautiful beach] and bask in the glory of beingness, oozing that fantastic positive Energy, you are uplifting All-That-Is.
[You are contributing to All-That-Is on the "Realm of Thought" which everyone has access to. Even if you're all on your own, and they're on the other side of the planet, someone far away still has access to that thought in the Realm of Thought.]
Everyone who seeks it, now has access to that which you are feeling.

Re: Gratitude vs Appreciation
What is Appreciation? And how do you get there?
HS:
Now the question I have is - Appreciation. You've used the word a lot and other people have used it. But what is it, really? Because I - I did read the definition and it was something about "to see the nature of-", or to "increase the value of-", and I use appreciation a lot to turn downstream. And I just wondered if you would expand on that?
Abe:
Well we are glad you looked it up! In the very literal sense, because to "increase the value of" is so inherent in what we're talking about, also! Now think about the contrast that you live, and the asking that you're offering, and the stream, that's moving. And then think about reaching for thoughts that feel better, and thoughts that feel better, until you truly come into a vibration of appreciation! And for sake of comparison, we would say the vibration of true love -that feeling of being in love, that feeling that you have sometimes, when you see someone and you just feel like you're moving through one another. The feeling that you have when you are looking at the innocence of a child, and feeling the beauty and power of that child.
In other words, love and appreciation are identical vibrations.
It's the vibration of alignment with who you are.
It's the absence of resistance.
It's the absence of doubt and fear.
It's the absence of self denial or hatred to others.
It's the absence of everything that feels bad, and the presence of everything that feels good!
And as you focus yourself more and more downstream, until you get in the vicinity of that love and appreciation- it just calls you to it, in a very powerful way. Conversely, let's talk about the difference between, let's say, gratitude and appreciation! Many people use them interchangeably. But we don't feel the same vibrational essence in them at all!
Because when you feel gratitude, often you are looking at a struggle that you've overcome, and feeling grateful. In other words happy that you're not still in the struggle, but you are still messing with that vibration just a little bit in that, you see.
In other words, the difference between inspiration which is being called to who you are, and motivation which is trying to make yourself go somewhere- that's a similar difference, you see!
And so, appreciation is that tuned-in, tapped-in, turned-on.
Appreciation is vibrational alignment with who I have become.
The state of appreciation is me, being in sync with the whole of that which I am!
Being in a state of appreciation is seeing whatever I'm looking at, through the eyes of Source.
And when you are in that state of appreciation you could walk down a crowded street with all kinds of things, that a lot of other people find reason to criticize or even worry about, and you would not have access to them, because your vibration of appreciation is picking out for you things of a different vibrational nature.
A state of appreciation is a state of godliness.
A state of appreciation is being who you really are.
A state of appreciation is who you were, the day you were born, and who you will be the moment you die.
And it would be if we were standing in your physical shoes, your quest in every moment.
But the tricky thing is -Joseph Campbell used the word bliss, and we think it's equal. Follow your bliss! Sometimes you can't get a whiff of bliss from where you are.
So we say, if you're in despair follow your revenge it's downstream.
If you're in revenge, follow your hatred- it's downstream!
If you're in hatred, follow your anger, it's downstream.
If you're in anger, follow your frustration! It's downstream.
If you're in frustration, follow your hope: It's downstream.
If you're in hope, now you're in the vicinity of appreciation!
Once you get into the vibration of hope, now begin making lists of things that you feel good about, and fill your notebooks full of them.
Make lists of positive aspects.
Make lists of things you love.
Go to the restaurant and look for you favorite things, and never complain about anything.
Look for the thing that you like the best, even if there was only one thing in all of it that you like- give it your undivided attention. and use it as your excuse to be who you are. Use it as your excuse to be who you are!
And as you use those things, that shine bright and make you feel good as your excuse to give your attention, and as your excuse to be who you are- you'll tune to who you are. And the whole world will begin to transform before your eyes. It's not your job to transform it for others! But it is your job to transform it for you.
We have enjoyed this interaction immensely. It is lovely to come together with those like you who are coming to know who you are! We are appreciating that which you are! And as we see you through our eyes of Source, we have to say to you: you have nothing to complain about, but there is nothing wrong with your complaining. Because, in your complaining you just launch more rockets! And you just make more vibrational escrow.
You just make the world a better and better place by living in it!
So you can't get it wrong and you never get it done.
And from our vantage point we feel only love and appreciation for your willingness to come and participate, and to take thought beyond that which it has been before. Not just in this forum, but in life itself. You know you can't get it wrong, and when you have your croaking experience you will then realize fully the value that you have offered to All-That-Is! And you will revel in it, and you will feel good about it. It is our desire, that you start feeling some of that now!
It is our desire that you start giving yourselves a break. Lighten up! Be easier on yourself and others. Look for things to love and appreciate, and find the true you, that came forth to live this life experience. There is great love here for you!
-And as always we remain blissfully, joyfully, appreciatively... incomplete.

Re: Gratitude vs Appreciation
When to apply the Appreciation Process:
- When you want to parlay a good mood into an even better one
- When you want to enhance your relationship with someone or something
- When you want to maintain or even improve your current good feeling
- When you are driving, walking, or standing in line and want to do something that is creatively productive
- When there is something in your line of sight that could potentially take you to a place of negative emotion and you want to maintain control of our own vibration.
- When your own thoughts or the words of someone you are with start off in a potentially negative direction, and you want to control the direction of the subject matter.
- When you are aware that you are experiencing negative emotion and you want to change the way you feel.
