Inspirational Poetry & Law Of Attraction

Hi-i!

Inspirational poetry is a great way to achieve real alignment via the Law Of Attraction. It's seldom merely about getting a particular thing like a car or a house or even a promotion or a loving relationship.

It's usually about the act of lining-up with actual Universal Laws! Looking at things from that kind of an exalted point of view allows you to let go of the very obsessions that interfere with opening-up to life's bounty! :O)

Sometimes, the verse rhymes--sometimes, it doesn't. What matters is its uplifting power. Here's something short from my pen. When a poem helps you remember who you are and that the good things in life belong to you, already--THAT'S what inspirational poetry is all about!

Domestic Bliss

I shake the bag. I lick the bowl.
The Universe wields knife and fire.
My yodeling pride says, 'N I helped!
A readying arrow, a pluck o' the lyre--
Adorable! sings the Aura O' Self
'Tween the pauses called Life in the 'bunctious gyre,
Spies a thought o' dessert (O, so quaintly controlled),
Clucks and knowingly shepherds me back to the fold.





Hahaha!

Hope the video made you smile, as well! :D

ABRAHAM FUN On Work

Hi-i!

I love Karen Williams' blog, ABRAHAM FUN! :o)



Here's a great reader's question she tackles (All that follows is from her blog):

"Of late there are many tensions at my work place due to some very inhumanistic proposals on work hours, leave and pay structures by the management. This makes me feel disheartened and uncomfortable. As this is a management decision, there is little I can do. I have been trying to keep away from discussions and presentations made on the subject, but find myself worried and often drawn into it. I am looking forward to attracting a wonderful job and a great pay with a fantastic work culture. Though I see good things about the place where I work now, I am not able to stay in that good feeling thought for long.
Please help"

————-
This is a scenario that many people seem to experience in various work contexts. Due to the decisions of higher-ups, people feel that they are going to be — or already are — treated with discourtesy and lack of fairness. They may feel powerless to influence decisions made by people in authority, and they may also feel that there is no viable options with regard to other jobs.

Well, that stinks. What can be done? . . . (Click to read the whole post! )

Audio Law Of Attraction Meditation

Hi-i!

Zackarius at TwinPsychics.tv (a Ning social networking site) introduced me to the following video from loveandjoy4all's YouTube site!



I love the confidence and simplicity with which Rama invites us to be our awesome selves. Let's learn from that wonderful example! :D

"Books & Law Of Attraction"

Hi-i!

Thanks, for catching up with me, after my break! :O)

Well, I'm back on the blog, with a little discovery. What if you'd like to experience greater wealth, but have concluded that it's like pop mystic Stuart Wilde says in the title of his book: THE TRICK TO MONEY IS HAVING SOME?

He says what a lot of Law Of Attraction people say, of course. Appreciate the money you've got. Good enough advice (for some). Look, no advice is right for everyone, but something a bit broader would be nice. Wilde does get broader, of course. All the teachers do. But, it tends to get lost somewhere between pages one and three-hundred-one.



So, here's an idea in a nice short blog post. Put on a self-satisfied smile, nod to yourself, and look at a pile of books the way you might look at a nice pile of money. We've all heard that knowledge is wealth. So, indulge the thought. Tell yourself, "I've got a nice pile of wealth, right here." Allow those little feelings of security and inner knowing to build, some.

You've got to start somewhere, you know! And, if you're really down-and-out, go to a library. Never mind how well it's stocked. Pull out a few books. Never mind how good a read they'd be. (Bet you can find one or two that are intriguing, though. Never hurts!)

Pull them out. Sit somewhere peaceful. Nod. Know. Say the words in your mind. Whisper them, if you can. Jot down a paragraph to that effect, if possible. No need to keep it, though you may wish to. The Law Of Attraction just needs a crack through which to slip you a buck, or two-thousand! ;O)

Signs & Law Of Attraction

Hi-i!

Have you ever asked for a sign?

&, have you ever considered that Law Of Attraction responds to signs that you put up?

What kind of sign have you ever put up? Well, have you ever run into someone whose entire attitude just said, "Not today, friends!" Whoa! NOT someone you feel attracted to--right?

Well, if you're not attracted to this person, then Law Of Attraction is not bringing you together. It's possible that practically no one and nothing is being brought into this person's energy field.

I've heard several people suggest that twitter, text messaging, and even email only had the power of driving people apart. I couldn't agree. Some suggested that tiny messages, especially, couldn't allow for warmth and nuance. And, these are important in attracting others. Law Of Attraction finds a way of slipping in, through the cracks.

This movie short really expresses it wonderfully. It's called SIGNS.





How will Law Of Attraction read YOUR signs?

Infinity & Law Of Attraction

Hi-i!

Thanks, for looking beyond the beaten path for possible answers to life's questions! :O)

Infinity's got a lot to do with Law Of Attraction!

How so?

Well, for one thing, Law Of Attraction is an aspect of infinite consciousness. And, one of the ways we've fallen into uncertainty and timidity about having everything we want and being all that we truly are is by thinking in finite terms. Of course, for the purpose of discovering ever more precise preferences, this was a fantastic idea!



However, we've got that skill down, pat, now. So, on to an expanded view of life, I say. On to Infinity! &, Law Of Attraction can help. ;O)

Look, what you love, want, enjoy, are curious about--consider them virtues. Now, play with the thought of these virtues in an infinite context. You can speak of having more love in your heart than there are grains of sand on the beaches of all the versions of this world there have ever been, are, or will ever be.

See, how that resonates in your heart? That's why love songs are so filled with forevers and skies full of stars. Obviously, that can become . . . Well . . . much, at times. ;O) Nonetheless, it's a great occasional game to play in order to identify with Law Of Attraction and your expanded self.

Remember, everything you want comes from the inner source that is infinite. Keep in touch with you source!

"The 3-D Movie & Law Of Attraction"

Hi-i!

Thanks, for being curious! ;O)

There's a weird title for you! Hahaha!

But, think about it. . . . Have you ever put on those 3-D glasses to watch some novelty movie? Rumor has it, the next Harry Potter will be in 3-D (Some advanced version of the glasses--or maybe just the polarized version). Recent examples have been JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH and THE ADVENTURES OF SHARK BOY AND LAVA GIRL.



Why do we seek this special type of movie vision? For the amusement of experiencing something new, basically. Interestingly, the novelty isn't always light & pretty, either. (Though, that's MY flavor! Hahaha!)

What's really funny about this, though, is that stereo-vision is our "normal" way of seeing things. That's NOT why we use these glasses and watch these movies, though. We watch 3-D movies to see something ODD in its context. Now, believe it or not, this has a lot to do with Law Of Attraction!

Here's a perspective that will help us make the leap, though. Years back, comedian Steve Martin was making fun of stereophiles who went in search of quadraphonic music systems for ultimate music fidelity. He predicted that the most extreme among them would build a googolphonic music system! (Googol is the number "1" followed by 100 zeros!)

Well, as Law Of Attraction would have it, we're less stereo-visioned than we are googol-visioned. Actually, neither is really close to our true nature (Remember? Your infinite expanded self?). As the late Carl Sagan pointed out, "A googolplex is precisely as far from infinity as is the number one."

What we naturally are is omniscent. We're everywhere at once and aware of everything--past, present, future, and potential--at once. We put on that pair of eyes (and the body that goes with it) for the amusement of experiencing something new, basically. (Sounds familiar?)

Oh, and we're not only omniscent (all-knowing), we're also omnipotent (all-powerful).

Want to feel closer to that reality? Use the Law Of Attraction by playing with such thoughts from time to time. And, you can start by considering that your eyes are really a temporary plaything. And that your REAL eyes are omniscent (or you can just play with the idea of googol-vision, for starters).

And, along with the huge knowledge, comes huge compassion, love, generosity, joy, and all that good stuff! That is who you REALLY are!

Remember whom you are!

"Manifesting & Law Of Attraction"

Hi-i!

When you say "manifesting" and "Law Of Attraction" in the same breath, you're basically stating that the proof is in the pudding.

What good is feeling good if it doesn't get you your stuff? &, if you've ever listened to Esther Hicks sharing the intelligence of those non-physical intelligences called Abraham, you probably know that your stuff is of less than primary interest to Law Of Attraction.

As my coaches Renae & Andries have sometimes warned me, "You want to avoid wanting it too bad. Don't make it such a big deal." So, if you want what you want to manifest, Law Of Attraction says you have to not want it too much. Sounding just a little bit difficult, maybe?



Well, maybe.

On the other hand, one of the secrets to manifesting is remembering that everything comes to us in a way that feels great so long as we make it our business to keep feeling great. It's turning back from our target in doubt and walking back to the starting point that gets in the way. For those feeling an irresistable pull back to first base, I'd strongly suggest dissolving those emotional blocks via Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). Google "Faster EFT" for even more practical relief.

Manifesting good stuff from the Universe is meant to be a natural part of life, not an unbelievable one-time event. Juggle that in your head, from time to time, throughout the day and see how much faster things start showing up! ;O)

"Travel & Law Of Attraction"

Hi-i!

Normally, I would not place anything that even slightly resembles a chain letter on my blog. However, this is simply so funny and really says something about the Law Of Attraction in a travel context--and it's such a beautiful fable--that I gave in.

So many of us have dreams of exotic travel. And, Law Of Attraction is on your side, if that's what you'd like more of in your life. However, if bigotry's part of the picture, be careful what you ask for. Now, I absolve any reader from any supposed curse that comes with not passing the following along--that's got no place on my blog! However, I am reproducing the fable exactly as I received it (only I'm breaking it up into paragraphs) , PS, and if you wish to pass it along, I will understand.

Prejudice Dispelled

A White woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a Black man. Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess.

"Madam, what is the matter," the Hostess asked.

"You obviously do not see it then?" she responded. "You placed me next to a Black man. I do not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat."

"Be calm please," the Hostess replied. "Almost all the seats on this flight are taken. I will go to see if another seat is available."

The Hostess went away and came back a few minutes later.

"Madam, just as I thought, there are no other available seats in Economy class. I spoke to the Captain and he informed me that there are also no seats in the Business class. All the same, we still have one seat in First class."

Before the woman could reply, the Hostess continued: "It is unusual for our company to permit someone from Economy class to sit in First class. However, given the circumstances, the Captain feels that it would be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting."

She turned to the Black man and said, "Therefore, Sir, if you would like to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in First class."

At that moment, the other passengers who were shocked by what they had just witnessed stood up and applauded.

If you are against Racism, please send this message to all your friends. Please do not delete it without sending it to at least one person.

"Money & Law Of Attraction"

Hi-i!

Thanks, for believing things can always get better! :O)

Well, one reason I was interested in Law Of Attraction was to attract more money into my life. Some have suggested that this is not a good reason to study Law Of Attraction. Well, it’s one of my reasons, though I can see their point.

The idea of money’s had some pretty dire vibes attached to it, so focusing on it’s been a drag for many. Still, however one gets around all this, I feel it’s pretty common for people to want Law Of Attraction to bring more cash into their lives. And, I’m no exception.

So, as you can imagine, I got mighty curious when I heard you could get paid up to $100 a day to click-on links or give an up or down vote for ads you read. I quickly did some math in my head and decided they couldn’t possibly mean two cents or five cents per ad.



And, when I looked through the information, I saw numbers far exceeding that! Numbers in the 60 to 95 cent range and higher, in cases. I certainly was intrigued. But, I wanted a chance to try this out without paying anything.

And, that’s when—as Law Of Attraction would have it—I realized I had manifested something that would cost nothing but could pay well. To just review an ad or click a link and GET PAID? It was hard to believe, except that there was no risk involved. All I typed in was my email—not even my name (Though, in my case, it’s all pretty much the same).

Would you have done the same thing I did, feeling it made sense to give it a try?

Well, my feeling was: Didn’t I request this from the Universe? If I’m really open to receive, isn’t a chance to try something without taking any dangerous chances something to at least check out? For me, the answer was yes.

Whether this makes sense to you or not, remember to be on the lookout for an opportunity that feels like it’s calling you. Then, take action when you feel inspired to. That’s how Law Of Attraction works, you know? But, you’ve got to be open to receive (Not to mention to GET PAID).

Esther Hicks Abraham--Funny!

Hi-i!

Yeah, I posted earlier, today. But, for those who {{{love}}} Esther Hicks & Abraham, you'll understand why I could not possibly hold back! Hahaha!

This is too funny, people! Have a laugh & learn from the greatest teacher of Law Of Attraction alive, right now. Bless you, Ester & Jerry Hicks, both. You're the best!

Peace & Law Of Attraction

Hi-i!

Thanks, for always wanting life to be just a little bit better! ;O)

You know, without peace, Law Of Attraction's pretty hard to steer. It's in operation, regardless, of course. But, making it work to your benefit's something else, altogether.



That doesn’t mean that your surroundings have to be calm, either. Peace is not a situation. Peace is a state of mind that you can call into being. Peace is deciding that you’re in charge of your feelings and choosing to focus on something that feels good.

When you’re in that peaceful state of responsibility, the Law Of Attraction is your vehicle to go on a journey that’s a pleasure throughout its length.

"Meditation & Law Of Attraction"

Hi-i!

Let me be blunt: I'm no fan of meditation. However, it's been associated with the Law Of Attraction by many, so I figured I might share my position (for now) on the subject.

Don't get me wrong--I meditate. However, it's always been more of a struggle than I wanted it to be, when I do it the classic way. The classical method is to sit with eyes lightly closed (in other words--slightly open) and to notice your breath coming in and out. When thoughts occur, you're to simply notice them--possibly telling yourself, "There goes a thought" and go back to noticing your breath.

Well, I've done this for fifteen minutes a day for a while. I succeeded, but it was nothing but annoying, when all is said and done. Fortunately, I've got alternatives. My favorite is making use of a CD I created that uses all sorts of strategies to more or less suck you into a meditative vortex without your even trying.



So, I can get the benefits of the Law Of Attraction without the annoyance factor of classic meditation. I intend to get this to the general public, soon. Anyone who can help is welcome to. But, here's the question: how do meditation and Law Of Attraction mesh, anyway?

Well, according to Abraham-Hicks, the whole point is merely to shut up the complaining! That's all, really. In fact, Abraham would prefer that we drum-up appreciation to quieting the mind. It's just that they think we'd find it easier to go brain-dead than to come alive in appreciation.

Ouch!

When you look at it that way, staring at the wall for a year doesn't sound like such a wise use of time, after all. Unless, it works, of course. Or, unless you like it.

So, my advice? Ask yourself whether you'd rather stare at a candle for fifteen minutes, or engage in a rampage of appreciation. Whichever you pick, will set off the Law Of Attraction in a perfectly desirable way!

Youth & Law Of Attraction

Hi-i!

Ah! The Fountain Of Youth! Can Law Of Attraction bring us anywhere closer to its discovery?

Actually, Law Of Attraction could be used to discover the Fountain Of Youth, outright. (Whatever that means! Hahaha!)

Really, though, have you ever heard the expression, “Such-and-such must’ve been weaned on a pickle?” Obviously, someone wearing such an expression is not likely to stay young long.



Well, what’s wrong with collecting what means youth to you? Collect synonyms for the word, pictures of really great examples of people who’ve aged gracefully or are just impossibly youthful for their age, or even young people who are cuter than you ever imagined they could be! Oh, go ahead and be crazy: collect pictures of insanely cute babies! Is that going overboard? Not really, since the ultimate goal is to feel good, and pictures of cute babies (and puppies and kittens) make a lot of people feel great! ;O)

Collect words like: smooth, dewy, soft, sapling, droplet, dawn, fresh, and so on.

Collect statements about what you like about youth: I like that sense that there’s so much ahead of me. I like feeling life is easy. I like having lots of energy. I like having stamina. I like feeling my limbs are loose and move with ease.

The Law Of Attraction will bring you more of what your mind is focused on. That’s the Law Of Attraction: What you dwell on, you get.

And, it applies to youth, as well!

"Energy & Law Of Attraction"

Hi-i!

Thanks for making blogs so popular! :O)

Well, if you've got no energy, how do you put the Law Of Attraction to work to get energy?

Catch-22?

Maybe. However, the good thing about energy is that it can be stored and can exist in a potential state! ;O)



Okay, I'll stop playing physicist. If I have to remember any more of that data, my brain will explode! Hahaha!

However, remember that you've experienced things that gave you pep. And, you can generate little bits of pep, if you want to. The trick is to start and to be willing to compile things along that line. And to remember that information will do, right now.

If energy's been a problem for a while, then you've got to think ahead. Start collecting things that say energy!

Collect quotes. Collect synonyms for energy (pep, power, electricity, zing, etc). Collect pictures that give you a sense of energy. Write the word energy down. See if you can get it in fonts that sing energy! Collect the colors you associate with the concept.

The very fact that youv'e got a file on the subject puts the Law Of Attraction to work.

Hey, what foods give you energy? What times of day do you feel most energetic? What activity gives you juice? What people? Who do you know who's an Energizer Bunny?

Think about it. Remember: what you dwell on, you get! That's the Law Of Attraction!

"Weight & Law Of Attraction"

Hi-i!

Can the Law Of Attraction help you lose weight?

Well, Abraham-Hicks has clearly revealed that it can! They speak of a fashion model who ate far more than toast and lettuce. In fact, she ate whatever she wanted, causing people around her to wonder, "How can you eat all that and still look so good?"

Well, she maintained her weight regardless of what she ate. Her explanation was a Law Of Attraction explanation. She said that food loved her body, and that was that! Put into an affirmation, it would go: "Food loves my body, so I can eat whatever I want!"



The trick is to feel great as you say this and to dwell on how lucky you are that your weight just takes care of itself and to remember that your job is to feel great! Then, you've got the Law Of Attraction on your side.

Have you ever been doing great at something, only to have some well meaning (Let's give them the benefit of the doubt.) person warn you not to get too used to it? This is what you've got to be willing to dismiss. Be good natured about it, so you can keep feeling good.

My coaches (What else can I call them?) who facilitate the San Antonio, Texas, Law Of Attraction Meetups have come to the conclusion that people who approach life that way don't really live in their dimension. My coaches are named Renae & Andries, and I can't help but see their point of view in terms of a powerful affirmation.

"I live in a dimension that suits me better, that's all. She'll be fine in her's."

Try saying that to yourself and just smiling and nodding, and the, Uh, . . . headache . . . will go away. ;O)

"Kids & Law Of Attraction"

Hi-i!

Let's get controversial! :O) Law Of Attraction & kids--specifically, some of that crazy kids' folklore, which is sometimes outright brutal!

If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times: TV's so violent, so we'll get violent kids. I can't say I've found that to be universally true, but shouldn't the Law Of Attraction make it so? And, what about folklore that's not-so-gentle?



Here's my . . . dare I say "favorite" example?

Deck the halls with gasoline
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Light a match and watch it gleam
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Watch the teacher burn to ashes
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Aren't you glad you play with matches?
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

I got this rendition from my favorite book on the subject: AMERICAN CHILDREN'S FOLKLORE by Simon J. Bronner.

Now, anyone who thinks that kids who sing this song will grow up to by pyromaniacs is off her rocker! But, how can this be?

Because, the Law Of Attraction isn't about the words we use or even the images we imagine. It's about the vibrations we ultimately emit. And, the evidence of those vibrations is feelings--emotions. The word "gleam" pretty much says it all. This is a song that produces laughter and gleaming smiles. It produces relief in kids who've been told to hold their emotions in, once too many a time.

The moral of this lesson is: Chill out! Get a sense of humor. And, stop worrying that the Law Of Attraction is out to get you. It's out to help you.

That's why laughter is the best medicine. Pretty pictures definitely help, and I wouldn't recommend too many that involve teachers turning crispy-critter. But, it's the overall emotion that matters.

"Law Of Attraction Tips"

Hi-i!

Law Of Attraction's such a big subject, I figured a few tips were in order!

Tip #1: Be playful! :O)
When the stakes are too high, the Law Of Attraction usually doesn't play in your favor. You've been there, I'm sure: "This has gotta work! Everything's riding on this decision. What am I gonna do if it doesn't work? I can't possibly wait another week. Etc, etc."

A more productive approach: "Wouldn't it be fun if things went this way, this time? I've had some pleasant surprises in the past. Why, I remember one time when I had no idea how things would go, and--Wow!--was I surprised when I heard: Sure, I'd love to. . . ."



Tip #2: Get your mood right, before even considering action.
It's not about finishing-up your To Do list. It's about working on your To Be list! How would you have to be feeling in order to succeed? Who would you have to consider yourself? Can you remember feeling that way in the past? Have you ever revealed some of that kind of character? Do you know someone who has, whom you could play-act as for a minute?

Then, you can ask yourself--coming from this point of view, what do I really want to do next? It may NOT even be something on your To Do list! That's called taking inspired action! And, the Law Of Attraction gives you this gift of inspiration, AFTER you've generated a constructive mood.

Tip #3: Be a kid!
Kids know how to tug at the Law Of Attraction, big time! Maybe not all kids, but you've met them: the kids who cannot be denied! They're too cute, they're too full of the life force, they're too open to receive!

You can embody that energy, too! Just use the toys and gestures that suck you into the matrix of life! Throw confetti (or whatever will pass for it) into the air, if you're someplace where you can get away with it. Draw daisies with happy faces, stars, and hearts. Sing a nonsense song or just hum one. Keep several colored pens handy and write your wishes in bright green, red, and blue! :O)

And, ask yourself, once you've got a big smile in your face or in your heart: what would be fun to do now, as far as my present project is concerned? Or what could I pretend that would make this feel better instead of worse?

The Law Of Attraction will suck unexpected events and decisions by other people into your life as you approach life from this bubbly point of view.

Don't say I didn't warn you! Hahaha!

"Expect Miracles"

Hi-i!

Thanks, for being creative in finding answers to life's questions!

Today, I'd like to look somewhere a bit odd for inspirational clues. Some time ago, I stumbled upon yet another humor website.

It was yet another list of stuff everybody's already heard. Nonetheless, some of the entries really got me thinking. For example, it's got a list of oxymorons (contradictory terms). One of them really caught my attention: anticipated serendipity.



That's really what studying the Law Of Attraction's meant to train us toward. No question, but a paradox is invovled! However, after a while, you start to expect miracles. And, that's where the real power of Law Of Attraction lives.

(If you need help psyching yourself-up, so this feels plausible, check out this link to customize your own self-help videos.

Fact is, a couple days back, I was at the San Antonio Law Of Attraction Meetup (facilitated by Renae & Andries). One participant, Joseph, told us of his amazing trip to the park, where we were meeting. He would start rushing, worried about being late, and all the sudden traffic would come out of the woodwork--joggers, even. Then, he'd remember to calm down, let go the oars and float downstream (as Abraham via Esther Hicks likes to put it), and the traffic would simply go away! It got to the point where he could actually predict what would happen next--in other words, he started to expect miracles.

Anticipated serendipity.

Well, as Shakespear once put it, "Many a truth is said in jest."

So calm down, realize that life is SUPPOSED to work for you, and practice expecting miracles. It just might blow your mind! ;O)

"Educating Kids & Law Of Attraction"

Educating kids has everything to do with applying the Law Of Attraction! The more we focus on what works, the more we'll notice that fantastic means really are available--means that kids really want to take part in!

When I think about educating kids, I immediately think of Glenn Doman, author of Teach Your Baby To Read, which came out just before I was born! In fact, considering the whole idea of Law Of Attraction--if I consider reality using a reincarnation paradigm, I'd say the publication of his book was probably what made me want to be born in this time!

Here's a treat! As explained in iahpvideos, the official YouTube channel of The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential, Janet Doman, their Director, "explains how teaching is not the same thing as testing." Listen for how expectation and intention attract matching results. The video explains it so simply!



For a more comprehensive look at the Institutes and their methods, check out this video:



I look forward to a day when schools and parents cooperate with this approach to education. Parents and families will lead, while schools will provide materials and otherwise support parental wishes. I also see the day when flashcards will be replaced by almost weightless tablets that allow the child to instantly see a shuffled or cued-up program of information on one side, while a summary or caption guides the parent, on the other side.

What successes do you see in educating kids? Remember, the Law Of Attraction basically says that what you dwell on, you get! ;O)

"Fun & Law Of Attraction"

Hi-i!

Have you ever sat through some spiritual practice, not only feeling sleepy, but even resentful about the effort involved? Appologies to Cindi Lauper, but it's not only girls who just wanna have fun! Hahaha!

&, the Law Of Attraction does not contradict this, in the least!

Don't get me wrong, boredom--like anything else--can be milked to your benefit. But, by and large, fun and success through Law Of Attraction go hand-in-hand. And, if you're not having fun, that tends to be a clue that you should either be doing things differently, with a different attitude, or that you should be doing something else entirely--at least, for now!



One thing I've found weird is how much fun comes from just being messy! What's that about? It seems to have to do with fertility. I'm only willing to go so far down that sexy road. But, it does have to do with abundance, doesn't it? You know--you've got so much your cup overflows? If that's too messy for you, try something that's very temporarilly messy--like blowing bubbles! :O)

Well, I thought you'd enjoy Puffy AmiYumi's rendition of the Jellyfish song JOINING A FANCLUB! These two girls from Japan have been entertaining kids here in the US for a while, now. I hope they get you in the spirit!

It was fun for me to see the Time Square background, again. I never thought I'd be missing that--guess that's Law Of Attraction at work, again! Hahaha! ;O)

"Habits & Law Of Attraction"

Hi-i!

Thanks, for feeling your way around those Universal Laws with me!

Well, what kind of Habits am I talking about, and how does the Law Of Attraction figure in all this?

Actually, I was thinking about some really subtle habits--in the sense that these aren't activities, but just reactions. For example, someone might say something simplistic about how to handle life, and I'll roll my eyes up and to the left.



At first, this seems like instinct, but it occured to me that this is actually a learned response. I'm carrying out a tradition taught to me by my tribe. A lot of habits seem like instinct. Someone once said that when we say "me" we point to the heart, as though this was some self-evident truth.

Well, in Japan, I understand that one points to the nose! We do what we've seen done, much of the time.

Okay, now what does rolling my eyes bring me, in terms of the Law Of Attraction? It certainly doesn't bring me cooperation! Hahaha! No. And, it doesn't attract respect, since people feel like I'm looking down on them. So, they show they can look down on me, too. This is what that habit attracts. That's the Law Of Attraction--as I like to put it: What you dwell on, you get!

If I just rolled my eyes and went back to feeling good, it wouldn't matter. But I know this habit's just the start of a whole cascade of emotional activity.

So, here's what I've started training myself to do.

I imagine someone saying something I could interpret as unsophisticated, advice just beneath me! "Can't you see your sister's reaction as a blessing in disguise?"

Oh, but this sends my eyes rolling! Hahaha! ;O)

Okay, as my eyes start to roll, I tell myself: Oh, my eyes are rolling, that's a signal for me to ask, "What does my expanded self think about all this?"

Just the question starts the Law Of Attraction working in my favor. The question attracts possible answers, any of which offers relief from the direction in which I was going.

"Oh, my expanded self thinks it's true, of course. Everything works for my benefit! Why, I cosmically hired my sister to help me drum-up a little contrast so I could generate another new idea about what could feel good. And Expanded Self is inviting me to groove on that new idea with it! Cool!" :O)

Will I be this perky in real life? Maybe not, at first. However, in this practice session, I might as well go all the way! Eventually, I'll be playing this version of the Glad Game as well as Pollyanna ever did! Hahaha!

See if you can use a naughty habit as a jump-off point to get the Law Of Attraction working more powerfully on your behalf!

Vibrations & Law Of Attraction

Hi-i!

Ever walk into someplace and feel definite "vibes?"

Actually, vibrations are all that anyone ever feels! Our senses work on a vibrational basis, even though we interpret them as totally different phenomena. Sight, sound, taste--it's all vibrations dealt with by brain and mind in whatever mysterious fashion. And, all of it is coordinated by the Law Of Attraction. (As I like to put it: What you dwell on, you get!)

The nuances of how vibrations and the Law Of Attraction are related, however, is nothing that can be put across in a few quick words. That's why I was so pleased to run into a wonderful Abraham-Hicks video on tc8008's YouTube channel that delves into just this matter.



Since Abraham is supposed to be a disembodied collection of intelligences, it should be easy for them to expound on the matter of vibrations and how they relate to the Law Of Attraction. However, remember that they're of the opinion (as are today's physicists), that we flesh-and-blood humans are more vibrational possibility than solid stuff!

So, remember to focus on what you want in your life! That's how you keep your vibes up! ;O)

Law Of Attraction Videos & Nature

Hi-i!

Thanks, for being here to welcome me back into the blogosphere!

I've just moved into a newly built house and had some chaos to put in order, so I've missed a few days!

Well, today, I'd like to discuss how nature and soothing music can affect affirmations and other applications of the Law Of Attraction.

For this purpose, I'm happy to included some video from daholan's YouTube channel. It's the famous & beautiful Johnny Pearson instrumental: SLEEPY SHORES.



Here, it's the soundtrack to some beautiful natural video footage: ducks in flight, snow-capped mountains, swaying wetland reeds, cascades, and more!

What I've found is that affirmations spoken under conditions like watching the sun rise, or listening to a thunderstorm from a cozy place, or running your toe back and forth in a brook--or even watching a video that highlights nature and presents soothing music--settles the arguing rational mind.

And, the rational mind's fearful resistance is really the only thing that stands in the way of the pleasurable manifestation of every desire and preference in the most satisfying increments possible!

So, consider raiding YouTube for nature videos with either natural sounds or soothing music, so that your affirmations have a peaceful beautiful place from which to activate the Law Of Attraction. Or, you can create your own affirmation videos. Or, if you've got a forest nearby--what are you waiting for? ;O)

Self Help Mp3

Hi-i!

I've been creating my own self-help mp3's. It's not too hard, though I really need to get some equipment. A microphone head-set would be ideal.


(Try recording an upbeat Easy Listening soundtrack behind your favorite affirmations. Horst Jankowski "A Walk In The Black Forest" (1965) posted on drh4683's YouTube channel.)

The type of self-help mp3 I'm talking about is one using affirmations. However, I'm good at coming up with tunes, and so I create what I call melodic chant. The chants (or mantra) are in English. Simple, one sentence affaires. However, the tunes are often full tunes you'd expect for something with a verse and chorus. Also, I make sure my tunes are upbeat!

The self-help aspects are the constructively crafted affirmation and the upbeat tune. I'm not a musician (thought I'm good at composing tunes--not orchestration or musical arrangements, just melodies, and I don't write them, either, just sing, hum, or whistle them into a tape recorder [very old school]).

I've downloaded a free mp3 recording application, on a trial basis. It's been a good way to get to know about such things. Wish I could give details, but I left my Zip Drive in a library computer! Am on my way to retrieve it, in a little under three hours. Affirmations are coming in handy, right now, believe me! The mp3 application is stored in my Zip Drive, as it turns out.

Anyway, whether you want to sing or speak your affirmations, mp3 is a great self-help medium. Especially, if you've got a portable mp3 player! I'm looking forward to taking walks while listening to melodic chant or to spoken affirmations backed-up with an upbeat Easy Listening soundtrack.

EFT & Law Of Attraction

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) has been a powerful tool that many interested in the Law Of Attraction love putting to use!

It helps people make the leap from understanding mental concepts of Universal Laws to applying them in the physical world with the physical body. Do you already know a lot about EFT? The following video is special in that it's got something for those well in the know, as well as those who are just beginning.



Maybe, this will just be a brief introduction to the practice. If it seems advanced to you, just play along a little or just watch. There is a lot of great information on EFT available. Just looking at this and reading this blog will set-off the Law Of Attraction, and you'll be surprised how much EFT information will soon start flooding your life. If you want even more, just think about it and how exciting it is that such tools are available.

Remember: What you dwell on, you get! That's the Law Of Attraction. :O)

"Self Confidence Ebooks"

Self confidence ebooks are a magnificent idea, aren't they?

Let's say I felt unsure about myself, for whatever reason, and knew I had to make a presentation, soon. I could make the trip to a bookstore and hunt down something on self confidence, or even visit the library. However, such feelings are sometimes fleeting.

So, "What's the problem?" you may wonder. If the feeling fades, all the better! Fair enough, except that such fleeting experiences are an opportunity to deal with issues while they're in a budding stage.



What's great about an ebook is that it's instantly downloadable. It's been said ad nausium that you should take action immediately upon pronouncing a goal. Well, it's exciting that by pressing a few buttons you can immediately take some very real action, these days.

And, by using a search engine, you can get an instantaneous list of ebook choices on the subject of self confidence. However, I'd like to point out that there are other instantaneous things you can do to build yourself up on that subject.

Try writing a poem on the issue. It doesn't have to be serious, either--nor does it need to make a lot of sense. Remember the Law Of Attraction. I like to say it this way: What you dwell on, you get!

So, just considering confidence in a constructive way attracts further thoughts of the same ilk. Not to mention, feelings!

Or, if poetry's a bit hard for you, try a simplified version of accrostics. Write the word vertically, and come up with something constructive for every letter of the word.

Or, you could simply write a paragraph about what's great about having that characteristic--self confidence, in this case.

Ebooks, are a great way to satisfy your desire for inner growth, because they come to you in an instant! Just remember, creativity does, as well.

Wealth, Finances, & Mantra

Hi-i!

Thanks, for looking off the beaten path for information on wealth!

Wealth, finances, money--the funny part about all this is that we're NOT talking about material things. Money, after all, is an idea. Especially now that every country's economy is based on currency not clearly connected to any objectively verifiable value. Once upon a time, a dollar represented a particular amount of silver or gold, for example. No more!

However, that's no reason for fretting about finances. Human beings can keep track of huge amounts of information and make all the calculations necessary to keep the house of cards in place. So, why the recent troubles?

What some have called a "financial crisis" can be blamed on greed and corruption. However, when a game descends into far-reaching dishonesty, it's to say that the general vibes of the game have been degraded. Where that's the case, the only meaningful solution would be an uplifting force to raise the character of the game.

Something similar had been going on with politics, in general, in the United States. And raising the tenor of the discussion is what has created a new sense of optimism--true optimism--in America. "Yes, we can!"

Well, Dattatreya Siva Baba shares a mantrum, in the video below, meant to afix a holy uplifting tenor onto our economy--both private and collective. It makes sense to me that such a thing could be the real engine to wealth. As the Christian saying goes, "In the beginning was The Word." And, I have never believed this to be true only above, and not below.



I don't quite see myself writing OM BRZEE NAMAHA 1,008 times. I'm considering it. However, the chanting is quite another thing. I do feel the vibrations to be legitimate for their function and have chanted them with good psychic effect.

For those wishing to hear it repeated 108 times, the video below is just what you're looking for.



I believe this mantrum to be a true gift from a teacher who cares for the world. For those who take it up, I wish you the best.

"The Glad Game"

If you've ever seen the movie or read the book POLLYANNA, then, you're familiar with The Glad Game!

It was the orphan, Pollyanna's choice to look for something to be glad about in whatever situation she found herself. Hard to find something to be glad about? Fantastic! That meant a bigger challenge! I LOVE THIS GIRL!!!

And, I'm so glad that I'm now reading Eleanor H. Porter's novel, having seen the movie as a child and again about three years ago.

However, did you know that there was a Parker Bros. game based on the book?

The book goes back to around 1910. The Simon & Schuster version I'm reading's a little bit coy about the original publication date, but does mention a play version was done in 1915, so do the math.

Point is, I would loooove to play the commercial Glad Game! And, given all the interest in the Law Of Attraction, it could probably be revived!

Well, I'm excited by the very thought. However, I must veer in some other direction, as I have friends from my Powerful Intentions blog visiting, and they've already had quite an earful of what I've just dished out!

Okay, so some nice fresh content is on the way! :O)

First of all, I'm on page 78 of the book! There! Some news. :O)

(Oh, what a good boy am I! Hahaha!)

Pollyanna has just bewildered the grumpy Mrs Snow! She's a poor bed-ridden woman who receives charity from the Church and shows no gratitude for it, at all. Well, when Pollyanna actually suggests that Mrs Snow is pretty, it's as though the lady's entire world were thrown upside down! Hahaha! You can see, I think, why I love this girl!

I've been toying with the idea of a new screenplay. But how? I love the 1800's feel of it! I'd want that to stay intact. Maybe I could focus on some other aspect. You know, I really just plain like the idea that Hayley Mills IS Pollyanna. She really did perfect service to the role! (BTW, you can see it on YouTube.)

Another possiblity is to simply draw inspiration from the book and movie and to write a whole 'nother story about another little girl! (I like writing about girls, mostly. And women.) Actually, I think that happened, despite myself! Hahaha! I wrote a family musical called THE BLACKBERRY KIDS GO TREASURE HUNTING about the indomidable Tatiana Hurwitz and her trusty sidekick, Brian. I really love those characters and their magical arena, the town of Pondside and its swamply little Greencool Pond with its ever-present crop of magical blackberries!

Well, I am feeling about a mile high, now, and I hope my readers are, too.

Check out Dear Daisy Cottage blog for some darling pictures of The Glad Game and other charming stuff!

Pollyanna!

Hi-i!

Thanks, for visiting the blog--I am so GLAD to have you! ;O)

Yay! I've finally taken Eleanor H. Porter's classic novel POLLYANNA from the library to read! :O)

And, I've started reading the book, as well. I'm on page 24, the first page of the chapter entitled "The Little Attic Room." The orphaned Pollyanna has just arived at her stern Aunt Polly's estate and is about to discover that she's to be housed in an oven-hot prison of a little attic room. Bet she turns that around with a quickness!



I found myself thinking, as I read the chapter before, where maid Nancy first meets Pollyanna: How I love this girl! Look how she sees the good in everything! How I love the way her mind works!

And, you know, I realized right there that such a bubbly attitude brings so much to the table! This poor girl really was richer than her aunt sitting in a mansion with plenty of cash and fruit trees and hired help! Why, Nancy found herself ready to fight for that girl, she immediately found herself loving her, so!

I first fell in love with the POLLYANNA movie, starring Hayley Mills (Remember the old PARENT TRAP?). For over a decade, I did fall into the "such-and-such is no Pollyanna" trap, though. I had seen the movie as a little kid and was snickering about it, like everybody else.

But, something didn't sit right. I mean, I still admired Hayley Mills. I'd seen several of her movies. TIGER BAY comes to mind. Oh! And WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND! I absolutely loved that movie about some kids who mistake a criminal on the run for Jesus Christ!

How could I admire her so, have sat through POLLYANNA, had no bad memories of it, and yet be acting this way? So, I told myself that I must watch it again, and make sense of all this. And, I did, and I really went to town on myself: How could you have been such a follower! When did you get so cynical! What a beautiful movie! There's nothing about Pollyanna that I wouldn't 100% endorse! That girl's attitude is right on! Talk about a practical view on life! Hahaha!

So, now, I get to read the book.

But, you know what came to mind? Well, it's a fantasy. However, I can see all this happening.

I love the Japanese language. What I mean is that I love Japanese women, and hearing them speak the language just blisses me out! When I first started studying, I immediately became a big flirt on the subways. (In New York City you can practice practically ANY language!) However, I got shy upon studying more deeply, which I feel is just a temporary phase. I've got big fun plans ahead of me!

One thing I dream of is to have an Abraham-Hicks Law Of Attraction discussion group run entirely in Japanese! I get regular coaching so I could fake my way through! There are signs all over the place I can use as a cheat sheet! Pre-planned conversations are slipped into that I can easilly understand and participate in. Words are poured into my ear! Hahaha! :O)

Well, why not a POLLYANNA reading group in Japanese! We get to see the movie in English and dubbed in Japanese! And, we read the "I'm so glad about this, I'm so glad about that" sections in English and Japanese, together! And, of course, we get to create our own (ANY language! 'Cause it's always good to do that!)

That would be a slice of Paradise, to me. {{{Mmmmm!}}}

Spiritual Affirmations

Hi-i!

Thanks, for braving these controversial waters! Hahaha!

No, by spiritual affirmations, I don't mean religious ones. No, no, no! Goodness, that would be like waving around a particular banner with a particular leader's face & logo on it. No, I mean something uplifting that puts us in touch with what's deepest within us.



You don't need to believe in anything to be spiritual. The very questions that you wonder about and maybe don't know how to answer is the very fulcrum of spirituality. The fact that you bothered to ask!

And, affirmations can remind us to ask, so that we bring more to life than the repetition of what seemed to have worked a moment ago.

Here's my favorite spiritual affirmation: I appreciate the Unity Of Being, says my heart.

What's a spiritual affirmation that moves you?

"Success: Law Of Attraction"

Hi-i!

True, a handful of people get involved without concern about success. Law Of Attraction, however is a great thing to know about if you're in business or doing something which requires coooperation and recruitment of the efforts of others in new ways.



It reminds me of that constant saying that sales is all about creating relationships. It's 100% true, of course. However, the relationship isn't just between people. Remember Willy Loman (Arthur Miller's DEATH OF A SALESMAN)? He thought the only relathionships that counted were between people. If you're friendly, everyone'll buy from you.

But, of course, there are other relationships you've got to involve yourself in, if you want success. And, they're all commanded by the Law Of Attraction. Your relationship--most importantly--to Source. To your own expanded self. This means, you've got to "Party on, Dude," in the cosmic sense. You've got to remember that you are success personified and celebrate that fact so you're at the same vibration as your expanded self.

Focus constructively on this or any of the relationships below, and more success-related thoughts and feelings, and events will start coming together. That's the Law Of Attraction.

And, then there's your relationship to your craft or business or offering or art--whatever. If you're offering it, then it should be something you love. Or you should focus on the aspects of it you love or at least prefer to whatever else is in the mix.

And, then there's your relationship to the aspects of others. It's nice to be friendly. But, friendliness isn't shaking hands and memorizing first names. It's noticing what you like about someone. It's giving people the benefit of the doubt. It's sitting by yourself and imagining how you'd most enjoy seeing your meetings with others turn out. That's where success and Law Of Attraction come together.

If only Willy Loman could have met Napoleon Hill. We'd have been out one amazing stage play, but that fictional family would have experienced a slice of Paradise!

"Love - Law Of Attraction"

Hi-i!

Thanks, for looking here for a little information on this topic! :O)

Some people are into parsing out the different types of love: maternal, infantile, love for pets, friendship, worship, sexual, neurotic, and so on. I've always been a little suspicious of that impulse.

And, in terms of love and the Law Of Attraction, being in any of the states described above and thinking about something--wanted or unwanted--is likely to rush it toward you. So, in certain ways, love is love is love is love is love!



However, the "type" of love that really gets you somewhere, when it comes to the law of attraction, is unconditional love. I know I've had some screwy ideas, in the past, about what that term means. So, let's clear this up.

I was at a Law Of Attraction Meetup, here, in San Antonio, Texas, just recently. It's facilitated by a wonderful couple named Renae & Andries. And Renae got it through to me that unconditional love is a state where you realize that no matter what anyone else says or does, you're committed to recognizing your sacred connection to source and knowing that you are supremely loved--that, in fact, you are love itself. You don't need anyone else's approval or for anyone to treat you in any particular way or do anything for you--no matter what, you're committed to experience life from your true identity as Love Supreme! You love because that's who you are. That is unconditional love.

And, from that place, love is all that you meet. Everything is to be interpreted as love meeting love in its infinite permutations and guises. We all know that the Divine experiences itself in this fashion, and it's our ultimate destiny, anyway. The point of adopting unconditional love is to start to experience that, right now, in our everyday lives.

Law Of Attraction Self Help Videos

Hi-i!

Thought I'd share something I found that really clears up some issues about the Law Of Attraction a way that only videos (or face-to-face meetings) can!



It's similar to what happens when people read The Tao. Many come away believing the book is about poetry or intellectual concepts. Actually, it's more a contemplation on how to regulate pressures and flows of energy around the body and cosmically.

Similar discoveries await students of the Law Of Attraction. For example, when Lynn Grabhorn (EXCUSE ME, YOUR LIFE IS WAITING!) speaks of "opening your valve," she's talking about a feeling that really does relate to what opening an internal valve would feel like. Of course, if you get a video custom-made to turn you on it will tend to do that.

Hope that gives you a glimpse into the more yogic aspects of these Universal Laws and self help, in general! :O)

"Goal Setting"

Hi-i!

Thanks, for checking out my blog for something as awesome as clues into the meaning of life!

So, in the cosmic scheme of things, what exactly is a goal? *Loud ominous music!*



Well, given what I’ve learned about Universal Laws, here’s my take on this. A goal is my excuse for celebrating. ;o) Calendars are a tool for keeping track of our celebrations. And, every completed task deserves to be celebrated. :O)

Sometimes, you celebrate with mere kudos (That’s French for strikes—in other words, pats—on the back). Sometimes you celebrate with a little Yay dance. Sometimes with clinking glasses or just raising a glass—even just to yourself. Or just saying, “All right!” or “Yay, me!” Or just putting a happy face next to the item done or striking a line on that item of the To Do list with extra force and satisfaction!

Of course, sometimes it’s bigger than that! Stepping out for an ice cream cone, or putting a gold star on your locker, or buying a plush toy, or going out for drinks or lunch or dinner, or buying the next installment in a silly book series, or hitting the slot races, or taking a day off, or doing karaoke!

When you look at it that way, why mark goals down on a calendar, when you can bounce them around in a Mind Movie?

A goal may be nothing more than a way of timing celebration (AKA those wonderful things you want to do). It’s fun to anticipate them and to create tensions and releases along the way, isn’t it? Could be the reason we decided to pop into this time-space dimension, don’t you think?

"New Thought"

Hi-i!

Thanks, for taking some expansive ideas into consideration!

The New Thought movement started in the 1800’s, but still effects the minds of people who want to thrive rather than merely survive on this beautiful planet!

Its beginnings were especially feminist and it has—to this day—done everything possible to avoid sectarianism. And, students of Abraham and The Secret will find much comfort in learning that the light was wisely tended to throughout the nineteenth century and did not crash down from the heavens on a gloomy planet Earth, after all.

You don’t have to belong to a Unity Church or Church of Divine Science to appreciate the tenets of New Thought, either!



Bruce MacLelland’s PROSPERITY THROUGH THOUGHT FORCE (1907), for example, summarized the New Thought principle of the Law Of Attraction thusly: "You are what you think, not what you think you are."

So, if the hoopla of present-day gurus sometimes wears at you, go back a century and change (or even further) to receive the knowledge from a slightly different perspective. It’s all good! ;O)

"Self Talk"

Hi-i!

Thanks, for keepin’ it real! Hahaha! ;O)

What I love about the term “self talk” is how it shows up society’s pretentions. We can speak of affirmations. We can talk of self-hypnosis. We can consider how to apply Neuro-Linguistic Programming upon our present mental state. But, so much of it just comes down to what you say when you talk to yourself—and admitting that we DO talk to ourselves (even if only in our minds).



The idea of positive self talk, though, gets murky pretty fast.

Some people mean that you should always be kind to yourself. In other words, be your own best friend. When down, cheer yourself up! Just as you would a friend.

Some people look at this in a more technical fashion. They warn that we don’t experience life in terms of negation. So, if someone says, “Don’t think of a pink elephant,” we’re doomed to think of exactly that—despite the “don’t.” Therefore, they warn of the danger in saying things like “I won’t eat too much at the party.” What would be better, they explain is to think, “I’ll focus on dancing and laughing and noticing all the colorful aspects of the party!”

And, some people say every thought should point you closer to your goal! Only thoughts that push you in the appropriate direction are actually positive. So, it’s important to sprinkle your thoughts with questions, like “Am I using my time in the best possible way?” (I find this approach—as Esther Hicks would put it—a bit “upstream?”)

Which of these approaches feels more like one you can jump on and take off with? Keep the answer in mind. It’ll help you choose future reading and other forms of learning and motivational material with greater ease!

"Using Law Of Attraction"

Hi-i!

Thanks for checking into the blog for insights into this important topic!

What, exactly, is the Law Of Attraction? Esther Hicks, through whom we receive the teachings of Abraham, defines it, thusly: “That which is like unto itself is drawn.”



I put it a little differently: What you dwell on, you get! ;O)

The tricky part, of course, is that it doesn’t matter whether you WANT what you dwell on or not. Dwelling on it attracts more thoughts of that sort as well as associated feelings and finally events! Therefore, it behooves us to dwell on what we want, rather than fuming in protest against what we don’t.

Society’s starting to catch on, fortunately. Still, here are some tips, for rough spots where dwelling on good thoughts doesn’t seem so easy.

First, of all, remember what Abraham-Hicks tells us: “Nothing is more important than that you feel good!” This has come as a shock to many, however, you can always be more helpful to others when you’re cheerful than when you’re resentful, right? So, practice reminding yourself of that from time to time throughout the day.

Another thing you can do is to make a list of little things that make you smile! :O)

Here are ideas:
-Drawing smileys (emoticons)
-Blowing bubbles
-Humming or whistling a particular tune
-Writing in green
-Glancing at a picture of a puppy, a child, a flower, the surf, etc
-Reciting a jump rope rhyme

You’ll notice a lot of the above refer to childhood. Childhood activities have a way of making even adults feel a little more care free! So, indulge. :O)

Another thing that helps is to think of something you’d like in your life that you run into, from time to time. And, then decide to celebrate every time you run into someone whose life includes it. Tell yourself that running into it in any sense is a sign that its energy is closing-in wonderfully into your life and that soon it will be at one with you!

The Law Of Attraction means that what you want wants you! Isn’t that just wonderful news?

"New Age Self Help"

Hi-i!

Thanks, for being part of the human dream-come-true!

When we help ourselves, we’re helping the world awaken into a New Age, aren’t we?

The famous New Age adage goes: “As without, so within.” Of course, the adage isn’t really new. In fact, it goes back 5,000 at least, to the alchemical classic, The Emerald Tablet!

It’s all about a magical style of thinking (and feeling) that presumes that whatever we’ve got to learn has, first, to be applied to the self. A lot of this has to do with a different view of self than many people have grown up with, however.

From Sigmund Freud’s psychology to Hawaiian Ho’oponopono, the idea that we experience reality as different “selves” has appeared again and again. In any case, it’s safe to say that most systems recognize a mundane self and an expanded self, though there are many names for these and sometimes subdivisions.

One common idea in many systems is that the expanded self holds vast wisdom, which is available to the mundane self, if that mundane self will simply celebrate in the bliss which is the expanded self’s immutable state of being. According to Esther Hicks, through whom we receive the teachings of Abraham, we need only direct ourselves in the direction of the bliss by making it our business to feel a bit better and allow the trend to continue, and the power of the expanded self begins to affect our lives!

Amazing stuff, yes?

And, by applying concepts such as this, New Age self help can raise people’s energies without forcing endless painful regurgitations of childhood traumas (or painful experiences from other lives). Works for me!

Giovani

"Self Help Videos"

Hi-i!

What can’t you learn off video?

Even internal yogas in which you imagine energy moving up and around certain parts of your body and then building up and releasing—you can learn that off video through the use of animation demonstrating how the energy would flow. Just show a colorful glowing vapor moving through a person or silhouette!

So, self help videos can help you psych yourself up by demonstrating the right posture to take in a situation and giving you a living model you can imitate without your having to travel to a seminar, somewhere. And, now that you can simply download them instead of going to a store, self help has come a long long way!

In fact, the most amazing step may be what you can create, in terms of video—not just what you can watch or purchase.

I really wondered whether or not I’d be able to create anything good after purchasing the Mind Movie kit (an instant download) to psych me up and help me own my biggest wishes the way Abraham-Hicks and The Secret say I should.

In fact, here’s what I was able to accomplish within 24 hours!


Find more videos like this on Powerful Intentions: Law of Attraction Community


&, 24 hours after that, the second of my self help videos was complete! I couldn’t believe what I was watching! Hahaha!


Find more videos like this on Powerful Intentions: Law of Attraction Community


Maybe, someday I’ll also have a camera to capture live video and will figure out what to do with that! Until then, these two will keep me very well entertained! :O)
