How could I possibly be grateful for being single?

Many single people tend to focus on the fact that they are alone. What if there was a profound reason for you being single at this particular moment?

When we are single, we can choose to appreciate this time and take the trouble to know and understand ourselves, instead of complaining. We are given this incredible gift of space to be ourselves and freedom to experiment without having to explain ourselves. Get to know your own soul. Find out why you are here, in this life, in this body, in this time. Why did you arrive on the planet with exactly the talents and restrictions that you have? What can you do that nobody else can do? Maybe you need to do something here that will affect many people, not only a potential partner. Maybe by being single at this particular point in time, you can impact many more people with your unique talent than if you were in a relationship.

So what will happen when you completely embrace the fact that you are single right now? What will happen when the energy that you normally use on complaining and feeling lonely is set free and allowed to flow again? You will be able to feel true gratitude for your life as it is!

The Law of Attraction

Did you know that the idea behind Gratitude Art is closely connected to a number of well known spiritual and self-help books? These include such bestsellers as “The Science of Getting Rich” by Wallace D. Wattles, Napoleon Hill´s “Think and Grow Rich” and Rhonda Byrne´s “The Secret”, which are all based on New Age philosophy and share the key concept of the Law of Attraction. This is a universal law that states that whatever we focus on, we attract into our lives, like magnets.

The Law of Attraction is a controversial notion in science and psychology, but to Gratitude Art´s founder Line Lyster, it is a very common-sense idea.

It really is very simple,” she says. “It´s like when you´ve bought a new bag, and suddenly you see people with the same bag everywhere, when you never noticed them before. It´s a matter of tuning your mind in such a way that you begin to notice and appreciate the positive things in life, which will immediately make you a happier person. Gratitude Art has been created to help you do just that.”

As we are all like magnets in this universe, Gratitude Art has unique magnets to help you remember just that…

Summer is on its way – so it´s wedding time!

Everyone loves a beautiful ceremony and a piece of fruit cake, but choosing the right wedding gift can be a real challenge.


Marriage blessing

While giving money to the happy couple is now common, many people feel that this is too impersonal and would prefer to offer a more meaningful gift instead.

Gratitude Art Astrology Canvases are the perfect wedding present, but are equally appropriate for a birthday, baptism or any other occasion when you want to show somone how you care in a unique and personalised way.

Gratitude Art works with Ann Savill to create these intensely personal works of art. An experienced astrologer with a background in various traditional and spiritual therapies, Ann is able to draw up a list of keywords which describe the energy of an individual or a relationship between two people based on their names and the date and place of their birth.

These powerful words are then incorporated into a custom-made design and printed on a beautiful, glossy silk fabric to produce a one-of-a-kind, personalised canvas which reflects the recipient´s personality.

The standard size is 29cm x 29cm for a silk canvas, but some people prefer a larger work which can also be printed on ordinary canvas.

You can also order personal Astrology Canvas. A perfect gift that will last a lifetime.Each canvas is designed individually and the colours and elements of the design will depend on your Astrology reading.

Gratitude Art meets Past Life Hypnosis – a workshop with Dr. Brian Weiss

Line Lyster, Dr. Susan Phoenix and Dr. Brian Weiss

Line Lyster and Dr. Susan Phoenix attended a Past Life Hypnosis workshop with Dr. Brian Weiss on the m/s Nieuw Amsterdam cruise ship in February.

Dr. Brian Weiss is a psychiatrist based in Miami, Florida who switched from traditional psychotherapy to past life regression – research and healing using past life memories – after one of his patients, Catherine, started recalling her previous incarnations during therapy sessions in 1980. A Yale graduate with 10 years of professional experience at the time, Weiss was initially sceptical, but verifying facts from Catherine´s previous lives convinced him that there must be an immortal element in humans which is passed on from one lifetime to another. Since then, Weiss has regressed over 4000 people, helping them overcome present life problems.

Why is it important to remember your past lives? “First of all, when you know that you lived before, and will live again and be reunited with your loved ones, it frees you of the fear of death, and you can focus on enjoying a peaceful and happy life,” says Weiss.
“Secondly, you can rid yourself of psychological problems. When Catherine remembered drowning in her past life, she was able to understand and overcome her fear of water.”
Thanks to the workshop, which was attended by 320 people, Line and Susan achieved a deeper knowledge on past life hypnosis. They also presented Dr. Weiss with a Gratitude Meditation CD and a copy of Susan Phoenix´s book “Out of the Shadows: A Journey Back from Grief”.

The benefits of keeping a Gratitude Journal

Evidence suggests that people who have made the decision to embrace an attitude of Gratitude find it helpful to keep a Gratitude Journal, a place where they can record the aspects of their life for which they are grateful. Whether these comprise people, personal progress or unexpected scraps of good fortune, the process of building a Gratitude Journal can help us to focus on the good in our lives and serve as a constant reminder of the myriad things for which we should feel grateful.

Did you know that the improvements to well-being as a result of keeping a Gratitude Journal have actually been measured?

Robert Emmons, editor-in-chief of the influential Journal of Positive Psychology, has discovered that people who regularly make a note of the positives in their lives can improve their happiness set-point (the degree of happiness of which they’re capable) by as much as 25 per cent. Not only this, they find that their sleep patterns and improve and they have more energy.

If you want to get the most out of life – and achieve more in the process – make keeping a Gratitude Journal your New Year’s Resolution for 2012!

Important tips when keeping a Gratitude Journal:

  1. Write a minimum of 3 to 5 things a day you feel grateful for in your life – make sure they are different things every day. That way you create a Gratitude library you can refer to whenever you need a boost. The more you write the easier it will get, as you will refocus your mind in this process.
  2. When you are writing, try to feel the feeling of Gratitude deep within your heart.
  3. Stick to it! You need to keep writing your journal for a minimum of 3 months before you start to benefit from the effect, so persevere.
