Positive psychology is a branch of psychology that focuses on the study and promotion of well-being, happiness, and positive emotions.

The Law of Attraction also promotes using positive emotions to create the life we want. The Teachings of Abraham channeled by Esther Hicks describe how to use an emotional scale to assess our vibrational state. Love, joy, and appreciation are at the top of this scale.

Barbara Fredrickson, a leading researcher in positive psychology, introduces the concept of the “broaden-and-build” theory, which suggests that positive emotions such as joy, gratitude, love, and hope broaden our thinking and awareness, enabling us to see more possibilities and make better decisions. This theory contrasts with how negative emotions work, which tend to narrow our focus for survival purposes.

Optimal EFT, introduced by Gary Craig, is a spiritual and energy-based healing approach that emphasizes the power of the mind and the concept of a higher consciousness or divine presence to address emotional and physical issues.

It is an extension of basic clinical EFT Tapping, which Craig founded. With EFT Tapping aspects are identified and then you tap on a set of meridian points with your fingers to move the energy. Both optimal EFT and clinical EFT Tapping focus on negative emotion as an indicator of stuck energy. With Optimal EFT, once aspects are identified instead of tapping participants connect with love through a powerful memory and then call on a universal oneness or divine knowing presence (termed “The Unseen Therapist”).

The book The Laws of Manifestation by David Spangler describes two ways of working with The Law of Attraction, the old method and a new one that is a natural progression. David outlines a shift from separate to integrated or from individual intentionally to holistic life-shaping and world-crafting.

David says there is a “difference between standing outside a system and acting upon it, imposing your will upon it, and standing within a system as a part of it and changing it by becoming an active part of its will.”

Most older models approach goals as linear and reductive without consideration of the complex dynamic system that comes with each goal. It is a more participatory process not only what you will receive, but also what you will give and who you will become. You are birthing yourself and supporting others in the same. The synchronicity of the system also includes how you help others realize their goal(s). In this regard, by making your goal what is needed, life will take care of your needs.

Happiness is a complex and multifaceted emotional state characterized by feelings of joy, satisfaction, contentment, and fulfillment – the presence of pleasure and the absence of pain. Let’s take a look at different views of happiness.

Biological perspective: happiness is often linked to the brain’s reward systems. Neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins play key roles in regulating mood and the feeling of happiness.

Sociocultural perspective: happiness is derived from success at what is valued in that community.

Psychological perspective: Positive psychology identifies several components of happiness, such as positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishments (often summarized by the acronym PERMA). In research, happiness is measured by subjective well-being, which includes cognitive evaluations of one’s life (life satisfaction), as well as the presence of positive emotions and the absence of negative emotions. These elements are often ascribed to having a meaningful life.

Spiritual perspective: happiness is associated with a connection to a higher power or the divine. This connection can bring a profound sense of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment.

What if we did not judge things as negative or positive? Is there a way to experience freedom from “bad”?

Every interaction has the potential to be interpreted as negative or positive, influencing our physiology and overall vitality. When we encounter situations that align with our desires, we experience being energized and positive. Conversely, situations that don’t meet our expectations can leave us feeling depleted.

These experiences can result in fears associated with being depleted and not getting the results we want.

The Impact of Fearful Mindsets

These fears paradoxically bring additional stress to everyday interactions. This suffering is usually unconscious and unintentional. Shirzad Chamine’s Positive Intelligence framework characterizes these fearful mindsets as “Saboteurs.” For those with a more positive, or “Sage,” mindset, interacting with someone in a Saboteur state can feel draining, like being around an energy vampire.

These fearful and judgmental mindsets can also be contagious, and any similar saboteur programs we hold can be activated. Think of it like exposure to an infection that you can inoculate yourself against—a cure you can then share with the affected person.
