Blushing Shouldn't Get in The Way

2008-06-01T15:52:00.001-07:00

Blushing acts as a sign to show persons embarrassment when harassed or even while a person is praised. In short blushing is a sign of embarrassment. The case with such an individual is that they either get embarrassed or enraged and this causes them to get red faced. Their face gets flushed and the symptoms are a blushed face. Excessive blushing shows physical signs, but there are also mentally related signs. Blushing adds to self-consciousness where he or she starts assuming that someone is watching them and to respond to this they try and become extremely self-conscious. In this process the person tries to carry him or her very cautiously and even go onto expressing things over cautiously, which sometimes looks funny. This usually means that the person who was trying to avoid being noticed tends to get more people to notice them because their faces are a certain give away in such a case f extreme people consciousness. All this occurs for no real reason but simply because your mind makes you believe that you were being noticed; however this was not the case.

The primary problem with such people is that they are embarrassed in public. When speaking in public or in front of friends and relatives they tend to get nervous and cannot speak the way they want to, instead they try and act in a manner that they think would look or sound good. But the fact is that no one will ever look good without being natural. Some actually go to extent to stop interacting with people they don't know; it is very difficult for them to interact with a stranger. In some people excessive blushing reaches a level where they stop interacting with any and every thing that requires attention. Even if a person is receiving positive responses from people he or she will think that they are just being put on.

Many people that are aware of their excessive blushing try to avoid it by being more self-conscious. The correct approach towards reducing blushing is to stop assuming that someone is marking you. You might have come across an idea to stop blushing but once you think that you can stop blushing, the possibility of blushing will also i111Bncrease. Your mind is the one that is guiding you in the wrong direction and you simply react in a particular manner. Then how are you supposed to stop blushing as your mind is supposed to be the one directing you? If you cannot avoid listening to your mind there is something that you can do restore it to normal. Hypnosis can help you with this problem, where your disturbed mind will no more be afraid of being watched by people. Hypnosis is available for you in the form of mp3 downloads that can help you overcome excessive blushing.

Once you have used this mp3 content you will see that you are least bothered about blushing and do not care even if being watched. This way you can be yourself and there is no need for you to change yourself just because someone is watching you.

Your Image Is Created Through Your Beliefs

2008-06-01T15:24:00.001-07:00

We all create our image of ourselves through our beliefs. It is important to begin creating a great self image so that you will posses the self confidence to create anything you desire. Every person has the capability to do wonderful things with his or her life. The only thing that holds people back is their own self limiting beliefs. Your image is created through your beliefs; what have you chosen to believe about yourself?

Maybe you have created a good self image of yourself; or maybe you have not. The great news is that you can work on your beliefs about yourself on a daily basis. There are many people who are overachievers and many people who constantly under achieve in any part of their life. They are no different than you are; the only thing different is their beliefs have enabled them to succeed in any venture they pursue.

If you personally no anyone who ventures out and takes risks in life; and you would like to do the same. They always seem to have success in any area they choose. They are no different than you are; however they have learned to let go of their limiting beliefs and learned to replace them with positive affirmations that have enabled them to have success in life. We all have some sort of limiting beliefs they are passed on to us; through society, parents, friends or other places.

Your image is created through your beliefs and whatever you choose toA50 believe becomes your reality. We do not believe what we see; we tend to see what we believe. Our beliefs are a screening of how we see the world, and we do not allow any information that is inconsistent with our beliefs to come to us. Even if the beliefs you possess are not consistent with reality; you will choose not to listen or follow them because your self imposed limiting beliefs are what have become true for you.

The image you have created for yourself can be harmful and holding you back in life. For example, believing that you have to work for someone else for your entire life because you are not smart enough to make an income from home. You may believe this because you can not achieve financial freedom because, your parents did not succeed in life, you do not have the mental capacity, you are the wrong age, or whatever else you have come to believe.

Always remember that if you set a goal for yourself and you have a burning desire to reach it, nothing in the world can stop you from achieving it, as long as you are willing to persist until you reach it regardless of adversities.

The most important thing to remember is that your image is created through your beliefs; you must begin today to learn how to change your beliefs so that they will help you and stop hindering you. It will take time and effort on your part however if you are willing to put in the work; you will realize that you are a successful individual.

Love? Sex? Oh! That is Just 5% of What Love Might Represent! What About the Other 95%? [part 2 of 3]

2008-06-01T15:12:00.001-07:00

[4] Spouses' love

This is a conditional love, a selfish love that doesn't or won't allow a third party. Is it good or bad? Can you imagine a someone who loves all and practises polygamy? That is not correct too. For goodness sake, think twice..... which do you prefer, monogamy or polygamy? I can predict chaos, disputes, jealousy, envy, selfishness .... if one allows multiple partners. Maybe I am conservative, maybe you are not, but to prevent is better than cure. Since this love is expressed by sex physically, don't distort sexology which should be sacred as well between husband and wife. Sex is part of our life as of food and drinks. It is a physiological and emotional need shared between loved ones.

Don't be a pervert. Be principle-centered. Ying and Yang balancing emotional acts will bond a loving couple whereby an imbalance will upset them. Lust and uncontrolled desire are negative forms of human love. To possess another person's body or mind, be it physically or mentally is something unkind. At least, love is about sharing and caring. It is our culture, our attitude towards how one looks at sex. Too much explicit and wrong concepts of sex from different medias have influenced our society and causing an alarming degrading of moral values among us. Let's pray that this negative will come to a stop. It all starts from us, as parents to set a good example.

Don't get yourself involved, be wise.... for the sake of all... for the sake that love or sex between spouses is sacred as should be, and meant to be a positive and healthy practise.... It is an attachment, sometimes a headache when there is a misunderstanding. Think twice, there is always this law of love. Don't be entangled in the webs of miseries, lies, desperate cries and eventually these marriages will soon die off

[5] Friends' loves

Friendships among friends are 5B4genuine relationships. Friendship is earned through trials and errors, proven with time, cemented by trust and forbearance. Mutual respect is one important trait between friends. 'Be friendly but not too familiar' is also a phrase that I always emphasize. As married friends we know our limits as not to go too personal.

A friend is ever so kind and understanding. A friend is ever so caring and considerate. A friend is ever interested in our work, but not interrupting. A friend is ever so concerning, be we literate or illiterate.

A friend's smile will be so enlightening. A friend's smile will be so encouraging. A friend's smile will be so touching. A friend's smile will be so warming.

Whoever and wherever that friend he is. Whatever and whichever that friend he is. He is always concerned and looks into our needs. Really a friend in need and a friend indeed.

He is that somebody who won't meddle up things. He is that somebody who won't burden you with things. He is that somebody who tells you not to worry about small things. He is that somebody who tells you not to do bad things.

He is that somebody who wipes our sweat and says. You need a rest. He is that somebody who wipes our tears and says. It is just God's test. He is that somebody who comforts our fears and says. Relax and stand it. He is that somebody who sacrifices his years and says. It is worth it!

A friend knows when to t577alk and when not to. A friend knows when to hug us and when not to. A friend knows our weaknesses, yet never complaining. A friend knows our heart's desires and always stimulating. A friend knows our silent, hidden, suppressed feeling. A friend knows our rate of heart beat and sick feeling. A friend knows our silly habits and favorite dishes. A friend knows our silly fantasies and wishes.

Yet never laughing at us in any way. Yet never looking down upon us either way. Yet never blaming us for who we are. A true friend indeed is a blessed, rare gift from GOD

Tarot Suit Of Wands

Did You Know That Anger Makes You Fat?

2008-06-01T14:58:00.001-07:00

Mimi was proud of the ten pounds she had lost on her new diet and exercise regimen. It was easy and enjoyable. A few days later Mimi was part of a decision making team at work. Arguments and insults flying around made her afraid of giving her opinion. Right then Mimi sensed something was missing. She grabbed a pillow and put in on her abdomen. What a relief! During that stressful moment Mimi missed the 'padding' that her fat had provided. The cushion blanketed the messy feeling. Driving home she felt demeaned and diminished. Why was it okay for her colleagues to vent, but no space for her views? Anger frothed up. Her rage felt like a ball of sharp nails ready to lacerate her insides causing a bloody hemorrhage.

She stopped at a store and bought a quart of chocolate ice- cream and a large bag of potato chips. That combination was the her most trusted and true numbing device. Those sharp nails became frozen with layers of reassuring and calming comfort food. No chance of any disgusting leaks of weakness. Keeping her cool was rewarded by yummy admiration and scrumptious respect.

The Bad News

Mimi's body weight represented both the burden of her undigested emotions and those she swallowed from others by choosing not to be assertive. Mimi believed that she kept her close relationships with friends and family by being an ever absorbing sponge for their awful feelings. They perceived her as tough and indestructible. Keeping it all in was a badge of honor. Emotional constipation was Mimi's sign of power and resilience. She dealt with overflowing gunky confused emotions by converting the trash into fat. That weight smothered her instincts to e5B4xpress her individuality. The heaviness paralyzed her so she couldn't take risks with being herself.

Her weight went up and stayed up despite her punishing splurge with personal fitness gurus, coaches, nutritionists and all the advice in the best diet books.

The good news

Eating anesthetized slimy feelings. The weight she carried acted as armor against feeling abused, taken advantage of, and dismissed. Her fat was the one part of her she could trust. Her fat camouflaged her need for love, support and acceptance. Life was a breeze when she didn't have to ask for those basic things and risk rejection and ridicule.

Yo-Yo weight games

Mimi was successful with diets when she felt strong and an equal player in the world. As soon as that fragile mood was threatened by words of conditional love, put downs, and a dismissal of her opinions Mimi felt naked and vulnerable. Food was the comforter and the weight she gained became a shield against the abuse. The thicker the armor the less chance there was of being destabilized and out of control. The armor plating was solid enough to deodorize the stench of her own chaotic and stinky feelings. The armor did such a good job that she couldn't distinguish between her own mess and that of others. It also bypassed her emotional thermostat so that she never knew when she couldn't take any more of other people's trash. At the point of overflow food was the best5B4 way of resetting the switch and lowering the temperature.

Mimi's quandary: Looking good or feeling strong?

Did she focus on feeling physically attractive by losing fat, or feeling emotionally strong and protected by keeping the fat? Either way, she had to abandon one part of herself - a no win situation.

Emptying the Garbage Before It Turns Into Fat: Stopping the Yo-Yo

Mimi should begin by asking herself the following questions:
- Why won't my family and friends like me if I show my feelings?
- Why is it weak for me to show my feelings and get support?
- Why am I so good at tolerating everyone else's overwhelm, and yet disgusted by my own?
- Why is emotional constipation the only way of feeling strong?
Mimi needs to build a more flexible barrier between herself and others.
- Armor is rigid and insensitive. Mimi's boundaries need to have a fine enough mesh to allow some mixing of feelings on both sides. That is mutual empathy and support.
- A barrier that opened and closed as needed would prevent overwhelm and allow Mimi to distinguish between her stuff and other people's mess.
- Giving herself the right to have bad feelings, show them and still receive love and acceptance (just as her friends and family do) will create a balance inside her emotional digestive tract. No more constipation.
- Distributing the responsibility for relationship regulation and maintenance mean567s that the weight is not dumped on Mimi.
- Mimi will be attending to all parts of herself without abandoning any aspect.
- Mimi's emotional balance and flexible barrier means that she won't need food to do the job. Her weight will be more consistent and natural for her size.
- When Mimi is comfortable with herself, her weight will reflect it by getting to an optimum place and staying there.

These tasks are difficult to do alone. Friends and family are part of the problem and cannot help at the outset. An objective professional such as a licensed psychotherapist can be helpful to get Mimi started on her journey and support her through the yo-yo's until she has the right barriers set up for herself.

Discovering Tarot For You

Reincarnation is a Promise of Unconditional Love

2008-06-01T14:44:00.001-07:00

Reincarnation is the grandest aspect of unconditional love, and the least understood as part of our natural life cycle.

Because many people do not understand what unconditional love really is, it is no wonder that they do not understand or recognize the value of reincarnation. Conditional love would say that you have one turn on the holodeck. Unconditional love would say that you have as many turns as your feel necessary to experience all that you desire.

When we love our children unconditionally, we do not try to change them, but to guide them. We give them as many turns as necessary unconditionally to make it on their own. A good parent recognizes the strengths of their children, and allows freedom for them to explore there own potential, while still maintaining their love for them. Mistakes, errors, screw-ups are all part of the learning process and a parent doesn't withdraw their love or threaten because the child wonders off the path or makes a mistake.

Unconditional love is unconditional freedom-freedom to make as many mistakes as is necessary to accomplish a desired goal. Reincarnation is the ultimate freedom that our creator has given us-to come back as many times as is necessary to accomplish a desired experience. No love could be greater than that. It is a birthright that is known by the soul before it incarnates into the physical world.

In the awareness of the possibility of reincarnation, one is given unlimited freedom and limitless opportunity to fully explore the physical world, and what it has to offer. In the awareness of this freedom, comes confidence that one will achieve his desires on a grander scale.

In the awareness of my own physical experience, I know that I will probably wake up tomorrow and carry on with my life and what I had planned for today, next week, and next year. There is continuity in what I desire from one day to another because my focus is on a limited physical life that may last up to 100 years or longer. However we are often taught or believe that we must focus on the first 65 years. Often little thought is given to the next 35 or so years, because we don't consider the5B4m productive, or at the very least we believe them to be our declining years, and a prelude to death or non-life.

We often miss the importance of these years as a prelude to another life-a preparation for a transformation to a higher level of existence in a more evolved world-the one we already live in. What we are doing here is experiencing physical life and all that it has to offer, but we are also preparing the world and our children to create the next world that we will experience upon our return.

Recently I finished reading the book "The Indigo Children." I was first alarmed by the realization of their existence and what they were bringing into this world now. Their characteristics are rebellious to current conditions and a world that is about to transform. Old ideas die hard, and transformation brings chaos and death to ideologies that have brought us this far.

For a brief moment I was feeling uncomfortable about these children-the worlds new stewards. Then I realized that they would not be stewards of my old world, but of a new world I have helped create, and that I will be returning to later. I will become one of these children upon my return. I will be one of their indigo children in one or more generations of physical life. I must trust them to take care of this world in my absence.

In awareness and focus of a physical existence that spans more than one lifetime, I can see the significance of reincarnat5B4ion. I can also see how important it is not to give up on what I am creating or experiencing now. I can see how vital it is to have long term goals, aspirations, and concerns for the world and its future circumstances.

Many of us do not consider these important aspects of physical life and their significance to our own future.

I have said myself in short sightedness-that I am glad I am leaving this world behind-that I will not have to deal with a future I do not understand. I have also felt like many that I do not understand the new generation and their indifference to what I know of this world, and have experienced.

For many, there is some comfort in a belief that they will die and go somewhere else-that they will not return, and they will not have to deal with what they have left behind. However this would be like starting a new book and finishing it after the first chapter. It is very short sighted and an unenlightened philosophy.

Reincarnation is a very real option for most of us-it is also a choice, a choice of freedom that comes from unconditional love. Most of us will return, and carry-on with our lives in a new body, that is equipped for the new world we have been building generation after generation. This is long term thinking that is consistent with the natural tendency for life to always move towards a higher level of experience.

I welcome these new children (our future leaders). I look forward t5B4o understanding them and to giving them guidance and opportunity. I am excited at the prospect of being one of their children, and being guided by them into a future world that will be different than the one I have known and left behind.

I believe one of the greatest hindrances to our own evolution has been this misconception-that we will not have to deal with the circumstances of the present world, after we have passed on-that it is all over. This short-term thinking has left our children a world that they must abandon or clean up. Many of us have disowned this world, thinking that we have not been part of its evolution-nothing could be farther from the truth. Everyone that has been born into this world, has contributed to its circumstances and evolution. You are responsible whether you accept it or not. You have participated in its technology, its pollution, and its degradation. You have contributed to the necessity for a new human to evolve to take over for you. You have created your new parents and a new world. You have left your example, your history and your insight for others-and a promise of a reincarnated you, to follow. Death is not an escape-it is another opportunity to repeat your mistakes or move away from them.

When seen from this perspective, life brings on a whole new expanded meaning. It brings greater opportunities for more abundance, happiness, and a brighter future. It leaves behind fear as we begin to ma5B4ke friends with it-in the realization that it is within our own personal power to create the world of our dreams. We will not be punished for our mistakes; we will experience the results of them, and will have the freedom to move away from them-at will.

This life is not final, and you will have as many turns as you wish. Your present incarnation is not the first stage, nor is it the last and there will be as many as you desire. You are not doomed, nor are you a victim-you are a creator. It is within your own personal power to create the world which suites you. It is within your own thoughts to experience the present world as Heaven, Hell, Nirvana, Stovokor (if you're Klingon) or anything else that your imagination is capable of.

You will return to this world and experience it as anything that you can imagine. Where-ever you think you are going, that is what you will experience. But, it will not be another place-it will be the place that you have created-here! It is the experience of the physical world that changes, not the physical world itself. Matter is formed and reformed in a manner that reflects your thoughts, your imagination.

Reincarnation comes from the greatest love of all-unconditional love. Unconditional love is unconditional freedom to experience all that you desire-unconditionally!

Just as I have created these pages, I know I will have a chance to change them-make any corrections that I feel necessar591y. I will do this in a near future (over breakfast), that I will create. Because I know that I will have this opportunity-I will not panic, I will not be desperate, and I will not react from fear.

It doesn't matter whether you believe in reincarnation or not. What you believe now, is what you will experience when you die. However, because you have freedom to choose, why would you not choose to experience something that works within your own best light? Why would you choose something that does not raise you to the next level of awareness-something that is better than what you are experiencing now?

Reincarnation is just such a choice. It is our birthright, our inheritance, our guarantee of continuance. Life cannot be created nor destroyed. Life is all there is, and it continuous.

Can You See Your Dream

The Next Election Will Be About Fear

2008-06-01T14:29:00.001-07:00

Everything built up will fall, and all that falls will rise again - this could be called the cycle of existence. When things are about to fall in this cycle, there are premonitions that wash through our hearts, and the premonitions have definite signs:

We lose our Generosity:

We become increasingly out for ourselves, because we are afraid. Earlier in our history, we were fearless; we would give the shirt off our back to a neighbor in need even if it was the last shirt we had. We really cared for each other. But now, we can't count on help from our neighbors. It all began many years ago when we allowed the homeless to fend for themselves, and we guiltily looked the other way. We didn't even realize that we were becoming fearful.

"Others are my main concern. When I notice something of mine, I steal it and give it to others."

- Shantideva

We lose our Principles:

We can no longer define our principles. Whatever is required to meet our goals seems to be our morals now. And our goals...? To get as much as we can before someone else does. It all stems from fear, and we will vote for the one who promises to allay the greatest number of our fears, whether those fears are economic, religious, or political. We look to our leaders to do this for us, because we no longer trust ourselves to make a stand for what we believe. We can't even grasp right from wrong anymore; it all gets distorted beyond our comprehension.

1. Avoid killing, or harming any living thing.

2. Avoid stealing -- taking what is not yours to take.

3. Avoid sexual irresponsibility, which for m5B4onks and nuns means celibacy.

4. Avoid lying, or any hurtful speech.

5. Avoid alcohol and drugs which diminish clarity of consciousness.

- Buddhist precepts

We lose our Patience

When things don't go our way, we get angry; we can't accept the fact that we have problems. Problems are part of existence, and existence is conflict, but we can't see this, and we believe that existence should be easy. But it's not. So, because we don't understand, we get angry; we try to make existence bow to our wishes. Then we blame others for our problems.

"The Greatest Prayer is patience."

- Buddha

We lose our Resolve

"It is not good to begin many different works, saying 'This looks good; that looks good', touching this, touching that, and not succeeding in any of them. If you do not generate great desires but aim at what is fitting, you can actualize the corresponding potencies and become an expert in that. With success, the power or imprint of that practice is generated."

- The Dalai Lama

We lose our Wisdom

One sign is when, as a society, we begin thinking that we are infallible, that nothing can go wrong anymore because we have control - this is a sure sign that the fall is about to happen - we lose our wisdom.

"The mind is everything. What you think you become."

- Buddha

We lose our Compassion

Our love is only one side of a two-sided coin, the other side be5B4ing hatred. We love ours, but hate theirs. True compassion is unconditional love. Conditional love cannot help but have anger as its companion.

"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned."

- Buddha

We lose our Truthfulness

Fear drives us to do whatever is necessary to secure ourselves, including lying. The entire world is becoming a used car lot, and we are either the customers being swindled, or the salesman doing the swindling. Whether it is mortgage companies, religious leaders, or politicians. It is all becoming untruthful.

"Three things cannot be hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth."

- Buddha

We lose our Composure

Whatever happens in the world cycle will arise and pass. Governments, movements, and politicians will come and go, but your own actions will remain in your heart eternally.

"The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed."

- Buddha

How To Enjoy Your Health Care And Social Career

2008-06-01T13:59:00.001-07:00

Many professionals in the Health care and social work field become stressed and disillusioned in their work, even though they enjoy helping people.

They are normally also not very well rewarded either financially or in terms of recognition, this allied to the type of work and situations encountered, means that the people involved in this type of industry need the same level of concern help and support that is given to the people in their care, this rarely is the case, and those working in the field end up leaving due to stress, depression and burnout.

It is very easy for those who work in the Health 1C68care field to take on the worries and pressures of the people they are trying to help this happens through resonance (the law of attraction). There are ways to prevent this from happening which everyone can apply.

Everything is comprised of energy and vibrations the higher the energy the more

Positive and happy we are, the lower the energy the more negative and lethargic we are. The people we are with, the way we think and our activities affect our energy levels.

We will be able to take on the energy that lifts us up and deflect the low energy that brings us down. The two extremes of this energy are Love and Fear. Pure Un-conditional Love is the highest energy there is and therefore has access to the multi-dimensional universe we operate in, that means whether we know it or believe it or not we affect everything around us on a local and non-local level.

The more aware we are of how this works in our lives and in the universe the more happy and productive we will be, It will also enable us to achieve goals more effectively with awareness and application.

Judging people by our own standards and worrying about peoples lives and futures over which we have limited control, also brings further low energy, so understanding the energy field we can choose to be affected by our environment or effect our environment. The situation we are in determines the most appropriate action.

I spent a month in a mental health hospital as a patient not a visitor and saw this at first hand, the only way that a lot of professionals can see to get out of this cycle is by caring less and just doing there job, this affects those around them as well and the patients who pick up on this. There is a saying love hurts, if you could create a love of your job that did not hurt you it would go so much better, and you would be creating more than you could ever know.

If you are interested in finding out more or want to apply these principles and more to your life let me know.

Understanding the Causes of Drug Addiction - A New Definition

2008-06-01T13:45:00.001-07:00

What is Addiction?A New Definition of Addiction Most people associate the word addiction with alcohol or drugs, but that association severely and inappropriately limits the extent of addiction in our society. A new definition of addiction is needed, one which will give us a better grasp of the nature of addiction and will enable us to approach its treatment in a far more productive way.

Addiction is the compulsive use of any substance, person, feeling, or behavior with a relative disregard of the potentially negative social, psychological, and physical consequences.

This definition of addiction creates a much broaderand more accuratepicture of addiction, which we will demonstrate in much greater detail throughout the remainder of this article. Before we can meaningfully continue our discussion of addiction, however, we must first consider its causes in a new way.

What are the causes of addiction?

Despite all the research done on this subject, there is no consensus on the cause of addiction. Some theories have been proposed, however:

Genetic: We are born with a genetic predisposition to addiction.
Bio-chemical: There is a chemical imbalance in the nervous system that makes us moB68re susceptible to addiction.
Mental illness: Addicts have a kind of mental illness.

Regardless of the specific cause espoused, most experts regard addiction as a disease, and many believe its inherited. They believe that people inherit the tendency to addiction, even if they never actually become addicted to a specific substance.

A New and Powerful Explanation for Addiction

I have now worked intimately with thousands of addicts, and propose a cause for addiction that is radically different from those generally discussed. This proposal explains the overall data of addiction better than other theories do, and this proposed cause has allowed the development of a treatment plan that has proven to be very effective with thousands of addicts.

Addiction is not a disease. Addiction is a response to pain.

After extensive interviews with thousands of addicts, I have seen less than one percent of them fail to respond enthusiastically to this definition of addiction and the clarification of the causes of drug addiction, whereas most of them have had serious problems with the usual definitions and explanations.

In order to understand the cause of drug addiction, we must first understand what is required for human beings to be happy, a subject sorely neglected in mental health research and literature. We tend to usually focus our attention to an inappropriate degree 5B4 on illness and on the treatment of disease. We all understand that physical health requires more than simply the elimination of disease. In order to be physically healthy, we must also attend to positive qualities and behaviorsnutrition, exercise, shelter, and so on. In a similar way, mental health requires that we attend to the acquisition and maintenance of positive required elements, not just the elimination of negative factors, or disease.

The most important requirement for our emotional health and happiness is to feel loved. Our souls require 5B4 feeling loved in just as real a way as our bodies require air and food. We need to feel cared for and to feel connected to other human beings. Theres a reason that such a huge portion of our novels and movies take love as a theme. Love is a basic human need.

Real Love

But not just any kind of love will do. The only kind of love that can fill us up and make us whole emotionally is Real Love.

Real Love is caring about the happiness of another person without any thought for what we might get for ourselves.

Its also Real Love when other people care about our happiness unconditionally. With Real Love, people are not disappointed or angry when we make our foolish mistakes, when we dont do what they want, or even when we inconvenience them personally.

When I use the word happiness, I do not mean the brief and superficial pleasure that comes from money, sex, power, and the conditional approval we earn from others when w5B4e behave as they want. Nor do I mean the temporary feeling of satisfaction we experience in the absence of immediate conflict or disaster. Real happiness is not the feeling we get from being entertained or making people do what we want. Its a profound and lasting sense of peace and fulfillment that deeply satisfies and enlarges the soul. It doesnt go away when circumstances are difficult. It survives and even grows during hardship and struggle. True happiness is our entire reason to live, and it can only be obtained as we find Real Love and share it with others. With Real Love, nothing else matters; without it, nothing else is enough.

Conditional Love

Sadly, few of us have sufficiently received or given Real Love. From the time we were small children, we observed that when we didnt fight with our sisters, didnt make too much noise in the car, got good grades, and were otherwise obedient and cooperative, our parents 5B4 and others smiled at us, patted our heads, and spoke kindly. With their words and behavior, they told us what good boys and girls we were, and we felt loved.

But what happened when we did fight with our sisters, made too much noise, got bad grades, and dragged mud across the clean living room carpet? Did people smile at us then or speak gentle, loving words? Nothey frowned, sighed with disappointment, and often spoke in harsh tones. Just as the positive behaviors of other people communicated to us that we were loved, we could interpret the withdrawal of those behaviors only as an indication that we were not being loved. Although it was unintentional, our parents and others taught us this terrible message: When youre good, I love you, but when youre not, I dontor certainly I love you a great deal less.

This conditional love can give us brief moments of satisfaction, but were still left with a huge hole in our souls, because only 5B4 Real Love can make us genuinely happy. When someone is genuinely concerned about our happiness, we feel connected to that person. We feel included in his or her life, and in that instant we are no longer alone. Each moment of unconditional acceptance creates a living thread to the person who accepts us, and these threads weave a powerful bond that fills us with a gRevenuine and lasting happiness. Nothing but Real Love can do that. In addition, when we know that even one person loves us unconditionally, we feel 5B4 a connection to everyone else. We feel included in the family of all mankind, of which that one person is a part.

Without sufficient Real Love, we can only feel empty and alone, which is our greatest fear and source of pain.

The world is literally dying from a lack of the one thing essential for our happinessReal Love. We spend our entire lives trying to replace that unconditional love with praise, power, sex, money, entertainment, safety, and so on. But it never works, and the resulting emptiness and fear are almost too much to bear.

We dont have to live like this anymore. Greg Baer and RealLove.com are teaching (1) the real cause of fear and anger and (2) how to find this Real Love that replaces the fear, anger, and conflict in our lives with peace, confidence, and genuine happiness.

Dr. Greg Baer is the author of 16 books, DVDs, and CDstwo of which are internationally published by Penguin Putnam Groupand has presented the life-changing message of Real Love to hundreds of thousands of people all over the world.

Anamchara - Living An Essential Life

2008-06-01T13:31:00.001-07:00

What is essential in your life? This question contains one of the most important words an question can address. This is the word "essence." To know your "essence" is to live the mystery of life rather than the illusion of "your life."

One of my simple pleasures is browsing second hand bookshops. They have a very distinct smell. They feel warm and inviting and often they take me back to earlier times in my life.

As I normally do I find more books that I might ever read. I found a book by Rudyard Kipling called The Jungle Book. I have only ever seen the wonderful fun movie of this name. There are sentimental connections with this movie from my youth. The hero of the story is a chi16AEld called Mowgli who gets lost in the heart of the jungle. It is a metaphor for many of us living in this 21st Century.

Mowgli was a nickname that somehow got attached to me when I was around ten to twelve years old. Maybe it was because I felt lost and needed to be found and taken from the heart of this jungle of conditional love.

The Jungle Book was turned into a wonderful musical cartoon full-length film. In it the character of the bear named Baloo sings a song. This song is called Bear Necessities. I love this song, as it is a song of gladness and confidence. It is a song about attraction and the experience of enough.

I often ask questions of others and myself in relation to what is essential. What is essential to life apart from food, shelter and clothing? These are essentials for the well being of the body. Beyond this what else is essential for a happy and fulfilled purpose focused life.

We have so many things, which we consider essential to living. We do this because we have forgotten our essence. We have forgotten what it is simple to be. The prefix of this word essence (esse) comes from the root of the words to be. We have forgotten how to be essential.

We have become people of the never enough. We are like the monkeys in the story of The Jungle Book. These monkeys are referred to in the book as the people of the food. They eat and eat and never seem to get enough. This I believe is a metaphor for our Western consumer society. This is because these people of the food have lost the ability to feel their essence. They have lost the knowing of how to be essential. The leader of the people of the food has become greedy for power and forgotten that nothing quiet satisfies like love.

Being is more fun. It is simply allowing the energy within to move freely. It is the ultimate freedom. It is knowing you are one with it all and can have it all. We have been taught that you are to do your life. We are taught to ransom your present moment for some dreamed of future.

The greatest gift we ever have now is to be present to this feeling of aliveness. Our disease and discomfort arise from absence from being. We have fallen out of ease with the natural flow of our lifes energy. We miss our essence and we miss what is essential for a fulfilled happy and prosperous life.

Economics tells us that we live in world of scarcity. It teaches us to live in fear of not getting our share. We more and more live in the pace of scare-city. Our media is full of images, which focus us on fear. Fear is of the ego. It is not of your essential nature. T is a product of limited thing. It is not the liberation of knowing who you are.

The bare necessities of life will come to you if you will allow them. These will be more than bare. If you allow them to be gifts and be thankful for them they will begin to fill you up. They will give meaning and comfort to you. This is the essential ingredient, which is missing from the attitude of the people of the food.

Stop struggling to do your life. Remember you are a human being and not a human doing. You have forgotten how it feels to be graced with your full humanity. You have forgotten the grace of your essence. You struggle and you constantly do in order to validate your existence. The sadness is that this teaching is passed to our children who give up their creativity for education.

We view our world as a place of competition and adversity. We approach the world with an armoured heart and then ask where the joy has gone.

The people of the food are those who live in hell. This is a psychological rather than a physical place. There is in this place a great banquet. There is food of all sorts and yet the people of the food go hungry. The irony is that the exact same thing is happening in a psychological place called heaven.

When God was asked about this situation and why one set of beings was fulfilled and the other clearly dissatisfied and even despairing. God gave a simple answer. He said In heaven we feed the other.

Life is not a jungle. It has laws that are to be followed. When we live from an essential place then there is always enough. You only have to make a heart felt commitment to being essentially who you are. This is the most courageous act any individual can make.

There is nothing to be added to the essential you. You only have to be prepared to let go. You have to be prepared to receive the bare necessities of life and allow them to come to you. Realise you are forever enough. Blessings be upon you.

Fear of Commitment - The Most Natural Thing in the World

2008-06-01T13:17:00.001-07:00

If you've ever dated you've dealt with commitment issues. More often than not, it's the man that doesn't want to commit and the woman that wants to know to ‘get' her partner to commit. The following letter is a perfect example of the fear experienced by men when faced with commitment:

"Over the years, I've had many relationships with women, and I have a pretty good time with each one until she wants to get serious. Especially if she says, I love you, I'm out of there. I've been told I have a fear of commitment, but that doesn't make sense to me. I'm really committed to my job, and I've made long-term commitments to many things, so how could I be afraid of commitment when it comes to a relationship? That old "fear of commitment" label just doesn't help me see what's happening here."

The single thing we all need most in order to be happy is Real Love, but the vast majority of us-including you, I suspect-have seen very little of that kind of love. Instead, we've seen that people "love" us when we do what they want-when we're good-but when we're inconvenient and uncooperative, we get quite a different reaction. That conditional love creates an enormous and painful emptiness within us, which we then try to fill with Imitation Love.

Real Love is, "I care about your happiness." Imitation Love is, "I like how you make ME feel." Imitation Love includes conditional approval, praise, sex, money, power. Imitation Love is traded, bought, and sold, and although it can seem pretty exciting in the moment, it never lasts and never makes us genuinely happy.

Eventually, we come to resent and fear our experiences with Imitation Love, because we don't like the constant feelings of obligation and disappointment and irritation that result from having to BUY the affection of others with our behavior. It's exhausting and unfulfilling. Trading in Imitat5B4ion Love gets to be a real drag.

That's why you tend to avoid getting close to women. Without Real Love, all you've ever known to do with women is trade Imitation Love, and although that was sometimes pretty exciting in the beginning, you've noticed that eventually the exchange of praise, sex, approval, flattery, and so on becomes less and less rewarding.

It turns to garbage. Somehow you just know-deep inside-that these women care about you only conditionally-the same way you're caring for them-and why would you want to make a commitment to anybody to experience that kind of emptiness for a lifetime?

So avoiding commitment on your part is actually brilliant. Your intuition-yes, men have intuition too-is telling you that commitment to a life of Imitation Love would be a lousy deal. Good thinking. Does that mean you'll never have a great lifelong relationship? Not at all. We'll get to that shortly.

You mentioned that you really get nervous when she says, "I love you." Of course you do. All our lives people have told us they love us, but then we find out that they like us only when we're doing things for them and when we don't inconvenience or hurt them. They often get tired of us and leave. Or they stay in our lives, but they're demanding and they criticize us.

So it's understandable that you'd have some negative feelings when you hear, "I love you." When you hear those words, it's likely 5B4that some of the following thoughts go through your mind-mostly unconsciously:

1. What do you want from me?

2. What do I have to do so you'll keep loving me?

3. Do I really want to take on the burden of doing everything it'll take so you'll keep loving me?

4. I wonder how long this will last?

5. So what? Lots of people have told me that, and I didn't end up happy because of it.

6. When are you going to hurt me like everyone else who's "loved" me?

7. I suppose now I'll have to tell you that I love you, or you'll be hurt and angry.

8. I don't know if I'm capable of loving you like you want in return.

These are all serious concerns, and they explain why many of us have difficulty making a commitment to relationships, especially marriage. We feel obligated to anybody who expresses affection for us, or we're certain that things will fall apart as they always have in the past, and then we'll feel even more hurt and alone. We want to avoid all that, so we stay away from commitment.

It's important that you see that you're afraid to commit only to a relationship based on imitation Love, because that includes trading, demands, expectations, obligation, and inevitable disappointment and pain. If you knew what a relationship based on real Love could be like, you wouldn't be afraid of that. Real Love is unconditional and could never hurt you.

When people have felt enough Rea5B4l Love in their lives and begin to share it with others, they can't imagine how they ever lived another way. By comparison, Imitation Love is utterly empty, even harmful.

The good news is this: You can learn to find Real Love. Visit the information section of RealLove.com to learn more about Real Love and take the simple but powerfully effective steps that will give you the happiness and rewarding relationships you've always wanted. When you find a partner with whom you can share that kind of joy, making a commitment to him or her is a delight, not a burden.

How Well Do You Know Your SELF? - An Exploration of What's Inside

2008-06-01T13:03:00.001-07:00

Many categories of self have common characteristics, and there is value in exploring them. By understanding their distinctiveness, we may gain a clearer picture of how each of us fits into the world.

Self-Esteem Also known as self-worth, a person's self-esteem is forged during the first seven or eight years of life. By then the mind has created the critical faculty (also known as the critical factor) to filter incoming messages, thus protecting the impressionable and immature subconscious. Until that is in place, absolutely everything a child hears, sees, and experiences will fashion a core belief that could be a lifetime guide.

If, during this critical period, a child consistently hears, "You are so disorganized, you'll never amount to anything," or similar judgmental put-downs, there is a strong possibility that the person will experience self-sabotage in later life. In transactional analysis, the core belief is known as the parent and it relentlessly directs behavior. Low self-esteem is created in an atmosphere of conditional love, and subsequently reinforced through negative self-talk. Unfortunately, contrary evidence is usually disregarded.

Some people endeavor to bolster their self-esteem through external elements, like marriage, alliance with others, and even the accumulation of money, titles, and degrees. While surrounding oneself with positive people has its benefits, it is problematic to define the self through external trappings.

Although it is a good thing to be proud of accomplishments, it is essential for people to make a clear distinction between their identities and their accomplishments.

All other "selves" emanate from self-esteem, that is, they take cues from the quality of the self-esteem. A fragile self-esteem will spawn weakness. A sound self-esteem, built in an environment of unconditional love, will sponsor resilient self-identities.

Self-awareness is the ability to reflect on our thought processes. We can become aware of many signals received from our bodies. We are not our feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and moods. These are simply processes that we experience and are not a "part" of our essence. We are able to objectively scrutinize the way we see ourselves. This social mirror of our place within humankind allows us to evaluate the roles of nature and nurture in our own attitudes and behaviors.

Self-acceptance is the coming to terms with who we are right now, just as we are with all our faults, weaknesses, and errors, as well as our assets and strengths. It is important to appreciate that the negatives belong to us they are not us. Recognition of shortcomings is a healthy first step in personal growth. The actual self is necessarily imperfect and dynamically striving for improvement. It is always a work-in-progress. Blatantly professing to be perfect produces great mental strain.

Self-honesty is being in touch with ones own basic human instincts for justice and fairness for self and others. It means being aware of rationalizations used to counter our conscience and other internal signals. It means ridding oneself of the need to appraise self-worth in external terms. It also means assessing ones strengths and weaknesses realistically.

Self-image is a custom-built collage fabricated from how we think others see us. We tend to draw conclusions about ourselves based on how we are treated. Psychologists generally agree that people underrate themselves. An inner sense of mastery and competence is developed only when we focus on our inner core of personal vitality and creativity rather than on seemingly negative evidence.

Negative feedback can be constructive in helping us get back on course; however, when we obsess about what others think, we relentlessly and consciously monitor every act, word, and manner. This creates inhibited, self-conscious perfectionists.

Traditionally, when employees demonstrated loyalty and hard work, they had an expectation of job security, regular pay increases, and promotions. Now, in many work locations, uncertainty and stress prevail. Habitual feelings of injustice lead to the victim mode of resentment and self-pity, thus lowering self-image and self-esteem.

Self-mastery is the knowledge about how to manage oneself on a daily basis so as to maximize accomplishment. Remember the old saying, By failing to plan, people plan to fail. Setting goals that are specific, timely, achievable, measurable, accountable, and realistic, and which demand just a slight stretch, have the likelihood of being reached, if combined with passion and action.

One constant in life is change. How we manage change depends on our experience and mind-set. An unpleasant encounter may subconsciously program us to either shy away from, or preferably, relish a new challenge. It all depends on how we perceive the original event. Some of my clients are stuck in their jobs, their relationships, or their lives in general. By remaining in their comfort zone, they are denyi5B4ng themselves opportunities to live at their full capacity. Self-mastery is knowing when to learn new skills or take on new responsibilities, when to hold on to beliefs that serve you, and when to let go of beliefs that do not serve you.

Self-efficacy is the context-specific assessment of belief in our personal capabilities to organize and execute what is required so as to achieve the intended goal. It is concerned not with the skills we have, but rather with our control over our own level of functioning. People with high self-efficacy choose more demanding tasks. They set higher goals, put in more effort, and persist longer than those who are low in self-efficacy.

Self-efficacy grows through personal and vicarious experience, discipline, and valid feedback. Although usually considered in a single context, there may also be a generalized effect reflecting a persons abilities across a broad array of difficult or novel situations. For instance, if someone is loved by a supportive family on the home front, then that person will display a greater confidence on the job. This will be reflected by peer and management feedback, which will, in turn, show up on the home front, perpetuating the cycle.

Self-confidence is an external manifestation of the health of self-esteem, self-efficacy, and self-mastery. Although it reflects the strength of these selves, it can be purposefully overridden to become a faad5A7e that we deliberately create for external scrutiny. I had a client who was a television actor. He once told me that actors often dont know where their next job is coming from. They may seem to possess a great deal of self-confidence, but often it hides a shaky self-esteem.

If it is merely bravado, it is shallow. On the other hand, the technique of "act-as-if" can have a positive effect on the subconscious, since it cannot differentiate between something real and something vividly imagined.

Self-love is the regard you have for your own happiness. It parallels unconditional love inasmuch as, no matter what you do, you nurture yourself by giving yourself permission to take pleasure in whatever life has to offer. In the therapy of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), we use the phrase, "I deeply and completely love and accept myself."

Self-actualization is the realization of one's full potential through creativity, independence, spontaneity, and a grasp and appreciation of this world.

There were three brick-layers at work.
Each of them was asked in turn "What are you doing?"
The first brick-layer answered, "I'm laying bricks."
The second answered, "My job... to support my family."
And the third bricklayer smiled and said, "Me? Why, I'm building the world's most magnificent cathedral."

The 3 Biggest Secrets For Staying Married For Life

2008-06-01T12:35:00.001-07:00

Managing your marriage doesnt have to be difficult. It takes a few initiatives on your part to get yourself into the proper prospective of how marriage really works. Marriage is about living your purpose and attaining your goals that are related to that purpose.

1. Marriage Takes Team Players

Marriage takes team players working together to accomplish the same objectives. It doesnt matter what those goals are, but what does matter is how you play the game. For an example, a wife should not go her own way, and not consider her husband and the husband should not go his own way without considering his wife. What is that anyway? Thats not the intention of Gods design for marriage. I think thats downright selfishness.

In marriage there is no room for selfish actions. Each spouse should look for ways to build each other up for the good of the marriage. When you work with your spouse, helping them and encouraging them when they need it, you are helping the marriage to become all that it can be. Do you realize that marriage is a gift from God?

God gave Adam and Eve the gift of each other. Eve was a beautiful sight to behold for Adam and the marriage was consummated when he became one in flesh with her. The gift to us is that a man will leave his parents so he can be united to his wife, and become one in the sexual joining together with her. This is what marriage is!

If you could imagine for moment, the person you married as a gift from God, then your actions would begin to work towards building up the gift you have been blessed with, instead of doing things that would tear down the gift and damage the marriage union.

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. Genesis 2:22-24

2. Marriage Takes Commitment

In marriage commitment is finishing what you start? When you stand at the altar, making promises and stating your vows to the person you love that is the starting point for your commitment to stay married for life?

How well you keep those promises and vows shows your level of commitment to the marriage. Are you still married to your first love? Commitment is not difficult to achieve when we make marriage an important aspect of our life.
We can follow Gods design meant for marriage or we can follow the flawed design of society.

The culture of today has shown us how to throw marriage aside as if it means nothing. But Gods intention for marriage is a commitment for life. At the beginning of the world God created the union of marriage between a man and a woman to be permanent until death. Treat your gift with the commitment it deserves.

3. Marriage Takes Respect

Respecting the person you married takes action. Respe5B4ct is submission, humility and appreciation all rolled into one. The flawed view of this is that couples believe these things need to be earned. Earning points to be treated with respect is wrong. This is what conditional love is all about. But Gods design for marriage is based upon unconditional love for each other. Submission is voluntarily cooperating with your spouse out of love and respect for them.

God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves, therefore, under Gods mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be self controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:5-6

Bottom line is if you work together, commit yourselves to the marriage and respect one another the devil cannot come in and devour your marriage.

Tarot & Psychic Insight - Common Reasons for Inaccurate Tarot Readings

2008-06-01T12:22:00.001-07:00

Most people know that tarot cards are about as evil as coloring books. Instead of being tools of some satanic force, theyre simply pieces of cardboard with pictures that help to trigger intuition. The more intuitive a reader is, and the more they know the cards and have established a dependable system to use them, the more accurate their readings are.

Of course, the question for the tarot reader is important too. General, unfocussed, or trivial questions tend to get poor results. Specific questions tend to 16C4get specific answers. Questions such as Will I be rich? or When will I meet my soul mate? are very common, but not well stated; rich means different things to different people and we all have many soul mates. What will be with the idea I have for a business? or What will be with my love life in the next 6 months? are much more appropriate questions. Also, if the questioner isnt supposed to know something because it may interfere with his or her destined path, for example, a good reader will know the question isnt meant to be explored.

Another important yet often overlooked factor which effects accuracy with tarot spreads is personal energy. Just as you have a great energy connection with certain friends which results in great experiences, or a poor energy connection with a neighbor who isnt respectful, positive or negative energy between a reader and client can greatly influence the quality of the reading.

For example, when Stephen does a tarot reading for a long-standing client with whom he has a great working relationship, the energy connection is good and that persons faith in Stephen as a reader allows the information he receives to flow freely and copiously. Alternatively, when he does a reading for someone whos very critical and skeptical or who happens to be projecting, for whatever reason, a lot of negativity energy, because of Stephens strong empathic and spiritually sensitive state, hell feel blocked and not compelled to help the person.

How does tarot work? There are many theories, but we believe tarot readings can very effectively outline current and destined personal circumstances because there exists a divine order in this Universe, everyone is intimately connected to this order, and because fate exists. Also, the 78 unique tarot cards and the methods employed using them are mathematically and symbolically synchronistic with what is. An experienced tarot reader can tap into this synchronicity. It is not an accident or coincidence when certain cards appear in certain positions in the tarot spread of an experienced reader.

Some readers claim that their tarot spreads are ...only about the current path you are on. Its possible you will change directions and avoid the outcome indicated. In some cases this can be true, but some readers might say this because they lack confidence in their abilities, or to attempt to empower their clients and keep them from feeling too much fear about the future.

However, based on our 22+ years (combined 44+) of experience with metaphysics, we believe that the majority of significant future personal life events and circumstances, as outlined by tarot, comprehensive astrology and numerology, and other esoteric sciences, are immutable. If something is going to happen, its going to happen.

We believe, based on years of regular spreads for ourselves and others, that the future can be seen through tarot. However, as stated above, results depend heavily upon the reader and other factors listed in this column.

Lastly, to provide a better idea of why some readers dont offer as much insight as you might hope, here are some other common reasons for inaccurate tarot readings:

*The reader, even with an extremely successful track record and a very consistent, high accuracy level, has an off reading and happens to give one of his or her inaccurate readings to the client (no reader is 100% accurate).

*The reader is inexperienced with the process and, or does not yet know at least the bulk of the symbolism found through each of the 78 cards.

*The reader is not very intuitive, or his or her intuition is blocked for whatever reason.

*The readers philosophies and beliefs conflict with what is (e.g., he or she tells the client that they can cheat fate and erase all of their tough karma without having to directly balance it, or that they can have the relationship of their dreams whenever they want, creating a permanent, blissful, conflict-free life-partner situation without the use of self-deception, manipulation, and conditional love).

*The day and time (universal, and the clients personal numerological and astrological timing) of the reading strongly suggests, despite the high level of expertise and accuracy of the reader, that information imparted at that moment may not be as appropriate or accurate as it would be at other times.

*The client is fated to hear specific information in the reading that turns out to be inaccurate, but that information helps to ultimately steer them in the right direction.

*The reader is biased about the issue related to the reading; human filters can and sometimes do get in the way of spiritual guidance.

Vedic Astrology Horoscope - Sun in Cancer - Venus - Moon - More on Saturn

2008-06-01T12:07:00.001-07:00

The Sun has entered Cancer in the Sidereal zodiac, bringing a strong tendency to nurture and emotionally protect our loved ones. When the Sun goes through Cancer the quality of divine motherhood is awakened in each of us at least that is the potential. Suddenly theres a renewed sensitivity to all of us as children. There is a great possibility for all to lay down their weapons and sympathize with their enemies for the next couple of weeks.

Cancer is the sign of sensitivity, compassion and motherhood. It is ruled by the moon, the planet of selfless love, nurturing and peace. This is different than the type of love we have in relationships which are transactional in nature. Relationship love is between two equals, two grown-ups. In relationship love, each person has to hold up their part of the bargain, whatever that bargain is. Every relationship has different boundaries that are negotiated and, however strange those boundaries may look to outsiders, as long as the two partnered agree with the terms, and honor them - theres usually smooth sailing.

This is what make5B4s the relationship house (seventh house) a secondary business / career house. We use the same negotiating skills at our job that we use in our romantic relationship - after all, people are people. The larger issue in relationships is our ability to compromise and satisfy our desires as well as accommodate another persons. Those who are able to yield their desires with dignity do well in relationships. But this takes an authentic desire to please others combined with an equally authentic intuition which knows where to draw the line and can draw that line without anger or excessive ego.

However, the capacity to play fair and negotiate and uphold common boundaries, etc. will be very damaging in a parent / child relationship. Once a parent starts demanding the child treat them as an equal, at least when theyre young, there can be great harm done. Of course, once the child grows up into teenage years and beyond the relationship starts to develop and mature. But still, the parent must always put the needed the child ahead of their own. Fortunately, nature makes this easy once the child begins to grow up and develop their own personality, many immature parents stop serving the child / selflessly loving the child - and start to a great deal of harm.

Negotiating proper relationship boundaries are related to Venus and powerfully expressed through the Cardinal sign she rules, Libra - the sign of relationships. And, as was sai5B4d, the Moon rules selfless parental love that only knows how to give. The mother loves the child no matter what the child does. But this shows the inherent struggle between Venus and the moon - the inherent struggle between selfless love and conditional love.

Its very easy to mix these two things up in our mind. When relationships become dominated by a selfless, parental type of love is only a matter of time before it starts to feel like abuse for one and co-managing for the other. There has to be accountability first, only then can romantic love become selfless, devoted love. Similarly if the parent / child love is too transactional, with a parent constantly insisting upon the immature mind of the child to be accountable for their emotional mistakes, as we would expect from our partner, much trouble arises also. Without the paradigm of selfless love in the parent/child relationship, the parent will not be able to insist upon accountability without the child feeling attacked.

This is an important issue at this time with Venus about to go retrograde into the sign of Cancer. In Vedic astrology both the moon and the Sun are enemies of Venus. This enmity is expressed in different ways. The influence of the moon on Venus (including occupying the sign of Cancer) is to confuse the transactional nature and expectation of adult relationship boundaries with the utterly selfless, caretaking, maternal nature of the moon. The infl5ACuence of the Sun on Venus (including occupying the sign of Leo) is to insist upon a passionate, fiery and romantically accountable nature.

These themes will play out in the upcoming Venus retrograde cycle discussed last week in this newsletter.

The upcoming Venus retrograde cycle will mirror the recent Saturn retrograde cycle and also foreshadow next years Mars/Ketu conjunction at 28 Cancer. There is another very important factor that must be kept in mind relative to this Saturn / Venus relationship.

Reincarnation is a Promise of Unconditional Love

2008-06-01T11:38:00.001-07:00

Reincarnation is the grandest aspect of unconditional love, and the least understood as part of our natural life cycle.

Many of us do not consider these important aspects of physical life and their significance to our own future.

Reincarnation comes from the greatest love of all-unconditional love. Unconditional love is unconditional freedom to experience all that you desire-unconditionally!

Reincarnation is just such a choice. It is our birthright, our inheritance, our guarantee of continuance. Life cannot be created nor destroyed. Life is all there is, and it continuous.

Love Is The Answer To Happiness

2008-06-01T11:24:00.001-07:00

The thesis of this discourse is this: love is the answer to happiness.

Love, the most powerful force in creation, is also the most misunderstood.

It is misunderstood because of the context with which it arises: that of relationship. All relationships imply love, either an offering of it or a withdrawal of it. Thus, our understanding of love is conditioned by varying degrees of attachment and aversion. And because of this, there is an element of self-protection that is projected outwardly and becomes control.

Thus, our understanding of love is completely contaminated by all the associations that arise from it.

So what we have then is conditional love; love that is allowed if certain conditions are met.

In truth, none of this is really love, just as a delicious meal, sprinkled with some mud cannot be said to be appetizing any longer.

Love, real love, is acceptance. That is all it is. Simply accepting what is. From that acceptance flows giving and caring, nurturing and compassion.

When you see a beautiful flower wet with dew, you feel an out-flowing force from your heart. This emotion is love. It is a complete acceptance of the flower. You may call it beauty or appreciation, but it is really love.

A mother, seeing her child sleeping peacefully, feels love. This is a pure acceptance of the being of the other. Of course, when the child is awake, shouting, crying, and arguing, expressing it's being in a radical way, breaking some social convention of one sort or another, the mother's love is still there, but now it is mixed up with other emotions, anger, confusion, embarrassment. Thus, control is now exerted. A tension visits the relationship and the love that is implied in it is clouded over, at the heart of which are various degrees of non-acceptance.

When the lo5B4ve is uninterrupted, as in the still flower or the sleeping child, it is pure. It is spontaneous. When conditions are imposed, the love becomes something else, not quite definable, but definitely not as spontaneous, pure, and free.

What made Mother Teresa a lover of life? She accepted what was before her. Poverty, disease, and distressing situations. Her love then moved her to give, and the giving was to provide relief to the other.

Love that has conditions, that exerts control to bring the other into alignment with one's belief systems is not real love. There may be elements of love in it, but it is tarnished with some desire for egoic gain. The other must love back. The other must be appreciative. The other must return something to us.

Philosophers, poets, and spiritual people have long believed that love is the central force that holds the universe together. The physical union of love creates children. The emotional union of love creates families and nations. The intellectual union of love creates ideas, discoveries, and inventions. Philosophically, one can even say that the union of subatomic elements in relationship to each other or of planetary bodies in relationship to each other is part of that harmonious, blending, accepting energy that we call love.

Love does not necessarily mean approval. One cannot truly love something despicable. But love does mean acceptance. And once there is accept5B4ance, there is understanding and insight, and if change is necessary for well-being, it is done with wisdom, not reactive emotion.

If human beings were committed to studying love and applying it, the entire planet would change rapidly, and instead of our continued creation of chaos, harmony and cooperation would occur. All sorts of wonderful prospering circumstances for the well-being of all life would emerge.

But as a species, we associate contention with intelligence and survival, and as long as we prefer exclusion to inclusion, we will continue to wreck our own lives and the world in general with our confused thoughts, feelings, and behavior.

When we begin an inquiry into love, then the journey to right living can be said to begin. What is right living? That which provides well-being for self and other. When well-being is high, there is a feeling of safety and acceptance, which creates happiness, a sense that all is well, good, and true and that we need not guard against sorrow.

The summum bonum of all life is happiness. It is the ultimate motive, the end of all striving. Yet this happiness does not come uninvited. It feels invited when love is present.

Did You Know That Anger Makes You Fat?

2008-06-01T10:57:00.001-07:00

The Bad News

Mimi's body weight represented both the burden of her undigested emotions and those she swallowed from others by choosing not to be assertive. Mimi believed that she kept her close relationships with friends and family by being an ever absorbing sponge for their awful feelings. They perceived her as tough and indestructible. Keeping it all in was a badge of honor. Emotional constipation was Mimi's sign of power and resilience. She dealt with overflowing gunky confused emotions by converting the trash into fat. That weight smothered her instincts to express her individuality. The heaviness paralyzed her so she couldn't take risks with being herself.

Her weight went up and stayed up despite her punishing splurge with personal fitness gurus, coaches, nutritionists and all the advice in the 5B4best diet books.

The good news

Yo-Yo weight games

Mimi was successful with diets when she felt strong and an equal player in the world. As soon as that fragile mood was threatened by words of conditional love, put downs, and a dismissal of her opinions Mimi felt naked and vulnerable. Food was the comforter and the weight she gained became a shield against the abuse. The thicker the armor the less chance there was of being destabilized and out of control. The armor plating was solid enough to deodorize the stench of her own chaotic and stinky feelings. The armor did such a good job that she couldn't distinguish between her own mess and that of others. It also bypassed her emotional thermostat so that she never knew when she couldn't take any more of other people's trash. At the point of overflow food was the best way of resetting the switch and lowering the temperature.

Mimi's quandary: Looking good or feeling strong?

Did she focus on feeling physically attractive by losing fat, or feeling emotionally strong and protected by keeping the fat5B4? Either way, she had to abandon one part of herself - a no win situation.

Emptying the Garbage Before It Turns Into Fat: Stopping the Yo-Yo

Mimi should begin by asking herself the following questions:
- Why won't my family and friends like me if I show my feelings?
- Why is it weak for me to show my feelings and get support?
- Why am I so good at tolerating everyone else's overwhelm, and yet disgusted by my own?
- Why is emotional constipation the only way of feeling strong?
Mimi needs to build a more flexible barrier between herself and others.
- Armor is rigid and insensitive. Mimi's boundaries need to have a fine enough mesh to allow some mixing of feelings on both sides. That is mutual empathy and support.
- A barrier that opened and closed as needed would prevent overwhelm and allow Mimi to distinguish between her stuff and other people's mess.
- Giving herself the right to have bad feelings, show them and still receive love and acceptance (just as her friends and family do) will create a balance inside her emotional digestive tract. No more constipation.
- Distributing the responsibility for relationship regulation and maintenance means that the weight is not dumped on Mimi.
- Mimi will be attending to all parts of herself without abandoning any aspect.
- Mimi's emotional balance and flexible barrier means that she won't need food to do the job. Her weight will be more 4D7consistent and natural for her size.
- When Mimi is comfortable with herself, her weight will reflect it by getting to an optimum place and staying there.

Relationship Myths - Eight Examples That will Doom Your Relationship to Failure

2008-06-01T10:43:00.001-07:00

Relationship myths are everywhere. There are more than I can count. The fairy tales that we believe create all sorts of problems in our real life relationships. Let's look at eight of the many relationship myths that will doom your relationship to failure:

1. All you need is love

This one is nice to believe. Love conquers all. Reality check: love is an essential ingredient in your relationship, but it is just one of many. A good relationship needs other ingredients, such as respect, appreciation, and the ability to negotiate when in conflict, to name a few.

2. If my partner loved me, s/he would _____________.

This statement is one of conditional love. It's also quite manipulative. Essentially, it's saying this: "If you loved me, you would do what I want; you would even know what I want without my having to tell you." Wow, that's quite a heavy expectation from someone you love.

Does it work the other way around (If I loved my partner, I would ______________)? Not usually. Be careful. If you expect your partner to love you unconditionally, yet you have all these conditions for you to give love your partner, you are creating an unequal, unfair, and deeply unhappy relationship.

3. Love means never having to say you're sorry

Yes, the movie "Love Story" gave us that line. If you don't say "I'm sorry" when you've done something offensive, what does that say about you? Are you too insecure to admit to causing offense? Are you telling your partner you are so above other mortals that you don't need to apologize?

Are you so angry at your partner that you believe s/he deserves what you did? I sincerely hope not. If this is a habit of yours, examine your beliefs about apologizing. They may need revising. Otherwise, you may be headed for loneliness.

4. If the sex is good, the relationship will be good too

Too many people consider a passionate sex life to mean they are compatible with their partner. They confuse passion with love. If that's all you've got, it's not enough to sustain a committed relationship.

5. If I don't say what I think/feel, I can't be happy in my relationship

What are we, in grade school? "If I don't get to express myself, I'm going to pout." I've had thoughts I would not want people to know about; we all have. Some thoughts, if voiced, can permanently damage a relationship.

I'm not telling you to stuff all of your feelings and never say what's on your mind. I'm asking you to be aware of how your words can impact your loved one. Ask yourself, "If my partner told me what I'm about to say, how would I feel?" Think first before you speak, then be tactful.

6. My partner is supposed to make me happy

Some people work really hard to make their partner happy, believing it is actually in their power to create happiness in another person. Others believe that their partner holds their happiness in the palm of his/her hands.

Sometimes people who believe this myth spend lots of time complaining to their partner and nagging their partner. Danger, danger! Creating happiness is your responsibility, not your partner's. You can do this when you work together to build a respectful, appreciative relationship.

7. My relationship would be great, if only my partner would change

Maybe so, but your partner's change is not in your control. You can threaten your partner, further damaging your relationship, or you can take responsibility for the only person whose behavior you can change: you. That's a big enough job, believe me!

8. A relationship should be 50/50

If you got 50% of the questions right on an exam, you would receive a failing grade. Is that acceptable? This statement becomes a scorekeeping issue. I'll wash half of the dishes or mow half of the lawn. I'll do my part, but only if he does his share. Again, control your own behavior and do your part. That's 100% of your part, not a failing grade of 50%.

Understanding the Causes of Drug Addiction - A New Definition

2008-06-01T10:15:00.001-07:00

Addiction is the compulsive use of any substance, person, feeling, or behavior with a relative disregard of the potentially negative social, psychological, and physical consequences.

What are the causes of addiction?

Despite all the research done on this subject, there is no consensus on the cause of addiction. Some theories have been proposed, however:

Genetic: We are born with a genetic predisposition to addiction.
Bio-chemical: There is a chemical imbalance in the nervous system that makes us moB68re susceptible to addiction.
Mental illness: Addicts have a kind of mental illness.

A New and Powerful Explanation for Addiction

Addiction is not a disease. Addiction is a response to pain.

Real Love

But not just any kind of love will do. The only kind of love that can fill us up and make us whole emotionally is Real Love.

Real Love is caring about the happiness of another person without any thought for what we might get for ourselves.

Conditional Love

Without sufficient Real Love, we can only feel empty and alone, which is our greatest fear and source of pain.

How to Say "I Love You" With Meaning

2008-06-01T10:02:00.001-07:00

I love you are three words all children need to hear often from their parents. Do you want those words to have real meaning to your child? Do you want them to connect one heart to another? Do you want to use these words to develop a level of intimacy in your family that communicates your heartfelt affection for your children? If so, consider strengthening I love you with the following suggestions.

1.) Use eye contact. Give your children your eyes when you say, I love you. Souls touch when meaningful eye contact is made during moments of intimacy. Touch with your eyes. Its a way of connecting that helps you bond.

2.) Touch. A pat on the back, a hug, or a high-five will add meaning to verbal expressions of love. So will a slight squeeze of the shoulder or a kiss. Take your childs hand in yours when you say, I love you, and add a tactile component to your words.

3.) Use names. The sweetest sound in any language is the sound of your own name. Names get our attention and build connectedness. Sadly, some children only hear their own names when they are in trouble. (William, you better get in here!) Add your childs name to your expression of love. I love you, Carlos, or Shingo, I really love you. Watch their reactions. Their facial expressions will encourage you to continue the practice of adding your childs name to I love you.

4.) Use the words son and daughter. These two words can add intense intimacy to your verbal expressions of love. I love you, son or I love you, daughter will create an emotion-filled statement that will invite an equally emotional response. Monitor your personal comfort level as you use these two important words. Notice your feelings as you say5B4 them, as well as the reaction you get from your children.

5.) Add nonverbal signals to your spoken message. Smile, wink, and add pleasant facial expressions to your words. Make sure the message on your face is congruent with the one coming out of your mouth.

6.) Do not use the word when as part of your vocal communication of love. I love you when you smile like that or When you choose that happy mood, I love you sends a message to your children that your love is conditional. What children often hear is I only love you when. To love unconditionally, say I love you without any condition attached.

7.) Remove the word but from your description of love. I love you, but. is usually followed by a concern, problem, or frustration. When we express our love along with a concern, we send a mixed message. When we do this, children get confused and conclude that the love part is a manipulation intended to soften them up before the real message is delivered.

8.) Add because you are loveable to your manner of expressing love. I love you because you are loveable is an important concept for children to learn. It helps them understand that your love is attached to no specific condition. It simply is. Be careful not to add any other words after because. I love you because you are thoughtful adds a condition that communicates conditional love. The only acceptable phrase to use with b581ecause is because you are loveable.

9.) Say I love you at unexpected times. Children often hear our expressions of love at familiar times. We typically say I love you when we are going out the door on our way to work. We say it when we end a phone conversation. I love you is often the last communication our children hear as we tuck them into bed at night. I love you at those times is often expected and certainly anticipated. To heighten the impact of these three valuable words, use them at unexpected times. Say them in the middle of a meal, as you are driving down the road in your car, or as you stand at the kitchen sink doing dishes together.

Some children are auditory and need to hear the words I love you. Others are tactile and need to be touched to feel loved. Still others are visual and need to see love on your face and in your actions. Why not give your children all three variations when you communicate your love?

The Core of the Soul - The Soul Remembering Through Life Experience in Soulful Love Part Two

2008-06-01T09:34:00.001-07:00

Gifting & Receiving Absoulute Love

For some of the souls here on this earth dimension, we are able to gift Absoulute Love what we perceive as easily to other souls. Spirit says that there are moments in which we perceive we are gifting Absoulute Love but it is in the form of the disguise of conditions, or expectations of how we think other souls should be. This form of gifting is that of conditional love, whereby if the soul acts or is being within how we think they should be within our perception, then we gift that soul love. If they are being something other than what we deem in our perception that they are "supposed to" be, then we attempt to provide the illusion of "withholding" our love.

For the souls whom have remembered, embraced, and treasured this Soul Remembering Through Life Experience in Absoulute Love, then this Absoulute Love is an constant flowing 5B4resonance that they choose to BE in, a way of BEing, a way of LIFE. Receiving and giving are One in the co~creative forces of the Universe and of LIFE. It is from this sense of 6ratitude that we are in Ah! Or Awe! with, for, and of LIFE when we are resonating in a resonance of Absoulute Love. When we are within this ambiance of Absoulute Love that it is seamlessly, effortlessly flowing from within our soul to other souls to the Universe and then comes again to us in a continuous circle or cycle of Absoulute Love.

For the souls whom live in the perception of an axiom that Absoulute Love was free from ever being shown to them in their lives here on this earth dimension, these souls choose The Ego Self of the Soul "Rabbit Hole" of choosing the illusion of "withholding" their Absoulute Love. I should know this phenomenon quite well, as I once chose to BE this soul. The illusionary reason that I chose to reside within the illusion of "withholding" gifting Absoulute Love was because I felt that I was unworthy of receiving it, and if I was unworthy of receiving it, then why should anyone else receive it, especially from me. This was what I believed within The Ego Self of the Soul "Rabbit Hole" when I chose to live in the illusion that I was separate, disconnected from every soul, from everything.

As Spirit writes of within the Soul Remembering Through Life Experience in Choice, there was a moment in my Life Experience here where I 5B4'decided' or cut off all possibility of Absoulute Love in my LIFE. As a part of the game of LIFE, I 'decided' while resonating within The Ego Self of the Soul "Rabbit Hole", that I was 'not good enough or worthy enough' to receive Absoulute Love. For me, this occurred when I was six earth dimensional years old. When I was six earth dimensional years old, I was a great speller of the earth dimension's English language and had won the spelling bee at school. I came home with a certificate saying I won and my mother was very proud of me and happy and she said "You should show this to your father when he gets home".

Now as an adult, spiritually speaking, I recognize in this moment that my father is the type of person that when he comes home, his form of meditation to wind down from what he considers to be a 'long day at work' is to sit down in front of the T.V. in his favorite chair, read the mail, and just veg out, as his form of meditation. But as a six year old, whom had been on this earth dimension for such as short amount of what we call as earth dimension time, I was free from knowing and understanding this wisdom, as coming from The Pure Consciousness of the Cosmic Infinite Circle of the Universal Source of All That Is that we are and emanate from, we are free from this concept as all is inclusively One sense of inner wisdom and this is who I was choosing to BE as a six year old having been free from discovering and embracing 5B4completely the earth dimensional duality Ego Self of the Soul. So when I came running into the room just after dad had come home that earth dimensional night and was in his chair looking at the mail with his meditative focus on that, and me waving my certificate around, he was free from even ever acknowledging me. It was then and there in that moment that I realized the earth dimensional duality Ego Self of the Soul perceiving itself as separate, that said I was 'not good enough' ~ not good enough to receive his Absoulute Love, and therefore, I must not be worthy of receiving any Absoulute Love. From that moment on I set out in my life to "prove" that I was 'not good enough'.

Therefore, when events would occur to bring forth a Soul Remembering, such as the Soul Remembering Through Life Experience in Absoulute Love through events such as kids picking on me at school or this soul would not play with me or be my friend, rather than choose to remember, embrace, and treasure the Soul Rememberings Through Life Experience, I would experience the thoughtenergy to myself of (and some moments in an Ego Fit Rabbit Hole tantrum out loud) "SEE! Look at what THEY did, SEE I am not good enough, see they will not be my friend or they pick on me etc..." Later in life it was with Aaron who was then my boyfriend, when we were physically separated when I became pregnant with our son Chris and he was in the illusion of believing that he was free from5B4 being ready to be a father, again rather than remember, embrace, and treasure, this Soul Remembering Through Life Experience in Absoulute Love, it was "See I am not good enough, he left me".

Thus, from the moment of being that six year old, I began to prove over and over again within The Ego Self of The Soul perceiving myself as separate from in Absoulute Love and from All That Is, that I was 'not good enough'. For many earth dimensional years I became quite skilled at playing the role of the illusionary victim and seeking out other souls to bring with me into The Ego Self of the Soul Rabbit Hole that I was choosing to create. In fact, I became so good at it that I had a friendship with a soul at one moment in my LIFE in which, our sole or Soul Purpose for being friends, our Soul Purpose for being brought together was for us to spend money and to sit while our children played together and have Ego Self of the Soul Rabbit Hole fits about our perception of how horrible our husbands were and how horrible life is and so on! In essence, for many earth dimension years I was living my life as a six year old!

It was when I went through a weekend spiritual seminar that began the five year earth dimension period of what we call here as the initiation of Ascended Mastery or Spiritual Oneness, in which I would choose to remember continuously many Soul Rememberings Through Life Experience that would gift to me the rememberings of the so5B4ul for who I am BEing in this moment.

The Illusion That We Are Separate From Absoulute Love

Spirit shares with us that we somehow fear and believe that we are "unworthy enough" to receive Absoulute Love and it is this axiom within the soul that we seem to choose to call our own, as we hold onto this axiom as if it is ours that we are unconscious to that keeps us from knowing, experiencing, gifting, and receiving Absoulute Love which is why events occur in our LIFE, to awaken and re~awaken us to remember the Soul Rememberings that we have chosen to forget as a part of playing this game of LIFE (Living Infinitely From Experience).

It is within the believing in this axiom of "I am unworthy of Absoulute Love" Spirit imparts, that has us create a perceptional illusion of proving over and over again that we are unworthy. So just as who I once was choosing unconsciously to BE, we seek out relationships and events to prove that illusion of The Ego Self of the Soul that says that we are indeed separate from every soul, separate from All That Is, and unworthy of Absoulute Love. It is that we somehow believe that we are something other than always, in All Ways connected that causes us to experience the illusionary perceived e~motional disconnection, which is what then causes the illusional e~motional discontent or dis~ease, a being free from BEing at ease within, to occur.

The Infinitely Spiritual Light BEing shares with usB68 that the reason that we experience the e~motion at moments like we are encased in a shell in our LIFE is because we feel that somehow we are disconnected from other souls and disconnected from All That Is, from the Universal Source that we came from and emanate from, which creates an illusion that we have a disconnection within us, with our soul. It is just that mere illusion that we are somehow other than The Pure Consciousness of the Cosmic Infinite Circle of the Universal Source of All That Is that we are and emanate from and that we are disconnected and unloved, that keeps us experiencing the e~motion that we are something other than connected. And it is our choice to stay in the illusion of disconnection that keeps us from being connected, from being All That Is or to step into and BE what we already and always, In All Ways, are ~ Spiritual Oneness and Absoulute Love.

BEing Absoulute Love

How do we shift this? How do we come to a resonance of Absoulute Love? As Spirit invited us earlier, they share that it is through 6ratitude that we are Absoulute Love. However, in being in 6ratitude within an illusionary 'seeking out' Absoulute Love in this way, Spirit says we tend to look outward for Absoulute Love rather than inward. Thus in this shifting into a resonance of Absoulute Love, the shift comes from within. It is seeing ourselves as worthy, valuable, Absoulutely Loveable (Loveable meaning able to be Absoulute Love) within our soul. We are worthy of relationships that genuinely honor the light of who we are. We deserve all of the wonder and the awe of All That Is in the Universal for this Life Experience.

Why do we deserve this? Why does Absoulute Love exist? Because this is the very essence of who we and emanate from. Because we emanate from The Pure Consciousness of the Cosmic Infinite Circle of the Universal Source of All That Is which resides within Absoulute Love and we are The Pure Consciousness of the Cosmic Infinite Circle of the Universal Source of All That Is which resides within Absoulute Love, therefore we are free from BEing anything other than Absoulute Love. This Absoulute Love for our soul is free from resonating within a resonance of The Ego Self of the Soul perceiving itself as separate and in Axiom with that Absoulute Love of our soul is somehow selfish or conceited. It comes from an inner wisdom in knowing that we are all Divine BEings coming from The Pure Consciousness of the Cosmic Infinite Circle of the Universal Source of All That Is which resides within Absoulute Love and is of, for, with, in and BEing Divine Absoulute Love.

How can we BE this? The Infinitely Spiritual Light BEing brings forth the wisdom that it is within the enlightenment that shows us that since we emanate from The Pure Consciousness of the Cosmic Infinite Circle of the Universal Source of All That Is which resides within Absoulute Love and we a5B4re The Pure Consciousness of the Cosmic Infinite Circle of the Universal Source of All That Is which resides within Absoulute Love, then how can we be anything other than already and always, In All Ways, connected to Spirit and receiving their guidance clearly, and how can we be anything other than Absoulute Love? Spirit invites us to BE that of who we are, BE Absoulute Love ~ BE ever presently seeing the beauty and the Absoulute Love within us and let it shine from within us just like a beacon of light from a lighthouse.

Appreciate how wonderfully beautiful you are, as you are an expression of the Divine light. Breathe this in, take a deep breath in and feel this message fill your soul, your spirit. Feel the beautiful light of who you are as it flows from just about a foot above the diadem or crown of the head, all the way through the physical body to the feet, and then all the way to your heart center which is where the soul resides and then encircling your aura. Truly know with a deep sense of inner knowing, inner wisdom and truly feel with the feeling that comes from the very depth of your soul, getting in touch with every part of your soul remembering that of what your soul already does know and is within infinite all inclusive wisdom of but has chosen to forget in coming here to play this game called LIFE ~ that free from any shred of doubt, free from any hesitation, that you are a radiant Beacon of Infinite Light and Absou5B4lute Love, an expression of Divine Absoulute Love, Infinite Light, and Beauty, and that you are All That Is.

Spirit invites us to nurture the spiritual child within us, the spiritual child of our soul. They say that within the Soul Remembering Through Life Experience in Absoulute Love that the reason that we may experience the illusion of having trouble embracing our own inner spiritual child with Absoulute Love is that we in The Ego Self of the Soul create the illusion of fear, that we somehow fear the bliss that comes from BEing Absoulute Love. That we fear that we can BE, gift, and receive Absoulute Love and that if we are to take that one step, just that one step into Spiritual Oneness, stepping into and gifting that Absoulute Love to our inner child of our soul, that our light will come beaming through, and that it is the Infinitely Spiritual Soul BEing of Light that we are that we are illusionally fearful of.

Within The Ego Self of the Soul perceiving ourselves as separate our deepest fear is free from being that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are ambrosial beyond measure. It is our light, rather than The Ego Self of the Soul that we perceive that frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, All wise and all knowing, talented, and magnificent?" Actually, why are we free from BEing so? We are an inner child of the Spiritual Oneness of All That Is. We will be free from serving and gifting th5B4e Universe, all within the Universe, and all within this earth dimension by playing the game of BEing small.

Enlightened we are free from living in the illusion of shrinking our spirit, shrinking our soul, so that other souls will be free from experiencing the e~motion of BEing insecure around us .We are all meant to shine, just as children do. We are born to co~create the awe~inspiring beauty of Absoulute Love, of All That Is that is within us, simply because this is who we are. This is why we chose to incarnate here ~ to experience, to gift, to receive, to remember that of the Soul Remembering Through Life Experience in Absoulute Love. Spirit or Divine Consciousness dwells within our soul. It is the essence of LIFE (Living Infinitely From Experience) and we always, in All Ways, have an unbroken lifeline to the Universal Source of which we emanate from, regardless of how small or dim that connection we may perceive it within The Ego Self of the Soul as separate to illusionarily be.

Would we ask a flower to be something other than a flower? A flower is a flower because this is what is, a flower. We are free from being able to ask it or make it be a tree or a mountain. And if we understand this, then we can understand that who we are is an Infinitely Spiritual Light BEing of Infinite Absoulute Love in Spiritual Oneness with all, of all, in all and for all. And who are we to ask or pretend to be something that we are free fro5B4m being? This is that of the hypnocrite that Spirit write of within the Soul Remembering Through Life Experience in Choice, that of attempting to be something we are free from being. Infinitely Spiritual Light BEing of Infinite Absoulute Love in Spiritual Oneness with all, of all, in all and for all is free from being just within some of us; it is within every soul. And as we let our own light shine, we consciously gift other souls the gift of choosing to BE the same. As we are liberated from our own illusionary fears blending The Ego Self of the Soul into the Whole of our Soul, into Spiritual Oneness, our presence automatically liberates other souls with whom we touch, move, and inspire by and with our inner light.

It is when we choose the choice to know within our inner wisdom that we are worthy of receiving Absoulute Love that then the channel is opened and we see, feel, and BE Absoulute Love within the infinite forms as it reveals itself to us, as the illusion that we are disconnected and unable to receive has then fallen away, leaving us with the connection to Spirit to All That Is, to the pure joy and bliss of Absoulute Love.

Spirit invites us then to choose that we are good enough and we are worthy to receive their guidance and to receive Absoulute Love simply because we have taken a view of all other possibilities and choose then that we are worthy of spirits guidance and Absoulute Love, because we are All That Is, b5B4ecause we come from All That Is. And if we come from All That Is, then how can we be anything less than worthy of receiving Absoulute Love from Spirit and from all the plethora of forms it comes in. We are worthy of Absoulute Love because we are Absoulute Love.

Absoulute Love is inviting you to experience all that this Absoulute Love has in store for you. Do you accept love's invitation? We hope you do.

Gifting, Receiving, and BEing Absoulute Love calls us to open our heart and LIFE to all the gifts waiting for us that this Absoulute Love has to gift. It gifts us with the treasure of Infinite Soulful Bliss and Spiritual Oneness. Thank you for receiving the Absoulute Love of the Universe so generously in this moment. Welcome to the heart of the soul of Absoulute Love. Life is an experience, free from being about arriving at a destination. So too, is Absoulute Love a journey, free from being about arriving at destination, as we already are Absoulute Love.

The Shift So Deep

I can remember one of the more recent axiomal shifts that occurred for me about four earth dimension years ago now. There is a man by the name of Steve Rother, and he channels Spirit in what he calls The Group. I was listening to one of his channels and on came this song. A woman began singing this song and I felt as though every word that this woman was singing was meant for me. The words to her song touched me so deeply that I began to sob. It 111Cwas the confirmation for me that the inner child in me was healing and that I indeed was free from being alone and that I am loved and I am Absoulute Love. It was the initiation that I would later come to know through Spirit into what we call here on this earth dimension as Ascended Mastery which I completed this circle of in the Spring of 2005.

The money that I would manifest to purchase the CD was free from being available to me at that moment as I had been free from choosing to manifest it. However, I was gifted with the messages from Spirit that I would know when I would be meant to have this CD and to manifest the funds to bring it forth into my LIFE. So I carried the copy of this song's sample on my computer with me for the last several earth dimensional years now and have referred to it often as a reminder of its beautiful words and of the messages that I received within it and from it. Then it began playing in my soul over and over until I heard it within and was free from needing the CD. It was amazing then and yet another confirmation from Spirit when Aaron had said this very thing about a favorite music CD of his. I had borrowed this CD to place it on my computer so I could listen to it too (as I like the CD as well) and so that he could keep the CD in his car with him while I would still have it on my computer to listen to. I had been busy and had forgotten to place it on my computer, thus the CD sat in our room for several days. When I said to Aaron that I had forgotten to do this yet and did he just wish to have the CD back anyhow that I could do it at a later moment, to which he said, "It is ok Hon, whenever you get it back to me is fine, as I hear the song within me, within my soul always so if the CD is elsewhere, I still have it within".

It was just recently when the healing of the inner child through Spiritual Imagination and Inspiration that Spirit writes of within the Soul Remembering Through Life Experience in Inspiration, which became the topic of our ongoing spiritual circle that we have weekly in our spiritual center that I remembered Spirits guidance that I would know when I was meant to purchase the CD of this song that I so fell in Absoulute Love with a few earth dimensional years before that had shifted me and the axioms of who I believed I was, that it was indeed the moment to obtain this and share it with the circle. Hence, I did purchase the CD then and the money was instantly there for me to and we utilized them in our spiritual circle. The healing, the beauty, and the shift in axiomal alignment that transpired that evening from just playing this one song was the most amazing transformation I have ever experience aside from my own. This woman's spiritual gift of singing of these words transcends anything here on this earth dimension, and I thank her from the bottom of my soul for the amazing gift she shares with all of us souls in assisting us to R.E.S.T. (Remember, Embrace, and Soulfully Treasure) within the light of who we are. She truly inspires me. Her name is Shaina Noll, and the song that she sings that I am referring to is her rendition of the song entitled "How Can Anyone?"

This song is such as simple song, so few in its words, but its meaning is so inspirational that it touches, it moves, and it inspires all who listen to it. It brings a healing of the inner child and also a resonance of AbSOULute soulful Oneness Love from the very core of the soul within you. I invite you to go to Shaina's website to hear the words to this beautiful song. Any soul who would like to listen to the song sample of this song "How Can Anyone?" or any of her other beautiful music, can listen by visiting her website:

http://www.shainanoll.com/songsamplepages/songsamples.html and scroll down about half way down the page to the Songs for the Inner Child CD song samples on the left side and click on the "How Could Anyone?" title. Shaina's CD Songs for the Inner Child, that "How Can Anyone?" is on, as well as her other CD's can be discovered for purchase as well on this webpage or by visiting her homepage at http://www.shainanoll.com

Spirit says that what keeps the creative energies of axiomal alignment for expanded consciousness, increased awareness, and spiritual oneness alive, is an appreciative openness to receive followed by some soulful response to58F this receiving. As long as there is a continued openness to receiving all of the gifts that the Universe has to offer us, the gifts keep flowing, or we could say that the gifts keep gifting. They say that some moments it takes a powerful event such as the one I just shared here with you, or what we perceive on this earth dimension to be the illusion of something "bad" such as a loss of a home, or a soul whom transitions back home to the Spiritual Universe for us to get to that point where we are touched, moved, and inspired into the shifting of our axioms. Spirit refers to this as a spiritual 2 x 4. Spirit shares that these events when seen through the eyes of the soul, through the eyes of Spiritual Oneness, are just simply gifts that are gifted to us to remember the light of whom we are.

The Infinitely Spiritual Light BEing also refers to the Prayer of St. Francis in which it is said that it is within gifting that we receive. Therefore, Spirit asks us what thoughtenergy, what axioms are we gifting to our soul and to the experience of this LIFE that we are choosing? In what areas of our LIFE (Living Infinitely From Experience) are we choosing in each moment to shift into axiomal alignment with our soul? What step will we take to open the door to Infinite Possibilities? The Infinite Circle begins with us. It is our choice. Do you choose AbSOULUte soulful Love always, in all ways?

People Pleasing - What It Takes To Say No

2008-06-01T09:19:00.001-07:00

We are often tra5B4ined to become people pleasers during the first few years of our lives. If you do what Daddy wants, Daddy might play with you. If you do well at school, Mommy might smile. Whenever children dare to say no, they are quickly taught the consequences. However, when we spend our childhood surrounded by conditional love, we learn to only love ourselves conditionally. In order to take back your life, you need to get comfortable saying no again; and saying no is always uncomfortable unless you have something else to which you are giving an overwhelming yes...

People always used to call me and ask, "What you doing?' To which I would answer, "Not much." Inevitably I would find myself drawn into their plans. I'd be going to parties I didn't want to attend, helping with other people's problems rather than dealing with my own, and wasting time that I couldn't afford. Now I've learned to change my answer, thereby taking back my life.

Whenever people ask me, "What you doing?" I have a list of a dozen things I am doing.

I'm working on my writing.
I'm taking a well-earned week off and not answering my phone.
I'm planting my garden.
I'm rereading my favorite book.
I'm planning my financial future.
I'm writing a mission statement and deciding how I want to live my life.
I'm learning to budget the time I have.
I'm learning to put first things first.

I find the results of my responses interesting. Many5B4 of the people who used to call me for favors have simply stopped calling me. They know that I am too busy navigating the life that I have chosen. Even better, many of the people who used to call me for favors, have begun calling me to simply say, "Hey, how've you been doing? We haven't talked in a while, and I've missed you. That event you're doing sounds interesting. How can I help?"

In order to say "no" to what is not important in this increasingly fast paced world, we need to begin saying "yes" to what is important. In order to do that, we need to ask consciously ask ourselves, "What future actions will most improve the quality of our lives, and how can we commit ourselves to those actions before wasting our energy on anything else?"

What Is Enlightenment

The Law Of Attraction and The Skeptics

2008-05-31T08:03:00.001-07:00

Being skeptical is healthy, in fact, skepticism keeps one from making foolish mistakes in business, relationships, religion and just plain everyday life.

But logic demands that if one is skeptical, he or she should have evidence for their skepticism. Something to prove to others and to themselves that the business, relationship, etc. Does Not, in fact, Work.

To hear something and then dismiss it as hogwash is not proving that it is in error, unworkable or some New Scam Fad. This is merely opinion and as I always say, opinion2238 is nothing but conjecture, something without valid documented proof.

It has truly amazed me that NOW the skeptics are coming out of the woodwork when it comes to The Law Of Attraction and its benefits.

Ever since Oprah presented 2 shows on the subject, the Nay Sayers have jumped on their collective talking head pedestals ranting about how The

Law Of Attraction is nothing more than New Age Nonsense. They have a million reasons why it "should not" work and when you ask them if they've tried it, the answer . . . to a Man is always. . .

"No, of course not!"

LOL . . . How can you ever prove that something is indeed nonsense and doesn't work if you've Never Even Tried It?

The belief that "you don't have to prove a negative" is merely a cop-out for those who truly lack proof and a good argument. So the critics just give us reasons why it shouldn't work and never state truths of why it does for those of us who practice it.

We have evidence and that evidence is the wonderful changes in our life experience. The new found freedom, the release of harmful mind-sets, the attraction of Abundance and Prosperity into our lives. These are provable phenomena.

And what is a Phenomenon in this sense?

*Any state or process known through the senses rather than by intuition or reasoning

*A remarkable development

And the Remarkable Developments can be documented as proof. Can the skeptic's opinion be documented? Not with any proof lol.

200 years ago someone could have said,

"A machine to replace a horse . . . Nonsense!!"

"A Flying machine . . . Nonsense!!"

"Moving Pictures . . . Nonsense!!"

"Talking to someone when they aren't even in your presence . . . Nonsense!!"

"Cloning??? . . . Nonsense!!?

"Gene Splicing?? . . . What's A Gene??" lol

An Open Dare:

Dear Skeptic and Critic,

Please prove that the Law Of Attraction does not work.

How?

By doing it.

Then and only then will your argument be valid.

What are you afraid of?

Do it and then bring me your proof and I will gladly bow to your Evidence.

And please don't hide your results if you are proven wrong. To be proved wrong and then to accept it, is a part of the growing process and a Significant Part of The Law Of Attraction. :-)

Law of Attraction For Network Marketing

2008-05-31T07:49:00.001-07:00

The Law of Attraction can work wonders in your personal and professional life. It can be especially effective in your network marketing efforts. Many people can readily see how the Law of Attraction can work for them on a personal level, strengthening their relationships and driving their success, but few take the time to see how it can actually influence their business practices and make their business take off. It does not just affect the goal, but also the path that is required to achieve the goal.

First, you should know just what the Law of Attraction is. It is a concept that is based on the premise that "like attracts like." In other words, if you think positive, positive things will happen to you. When you are generating positive thoughts and attitudes, you are exuding a positive vibration and the universe responds to that. When you visualize and focus on what you want to achieve, you further strengthen your power through the Law of Attraction. You can make the things that you want from life happen for you when you maintain the positive attitudes and visualize what you want. When you apply this to network marketing, your success can take off.

The first thing that you need to do in order to begin using the Law of Attraction in your network marketing is to attain the positive attitude and outlook. When you think in a positive way, positivity will be drawn to you. Your positive attitude will, in turn, shape your actions and those actions will transfer to excitement and passion for what you do. This will be noticed by your customers. It is no secret that when you feel passionate and excited about your business or product, your customers will pick up on that excitement. When your customers are excited about your business, they will start spending money; they will invest in your company, product or service.

The next step in making the Law of Attraction work for your Network Marketing business is to set goals and visualize the desired outcome. If you want to set a sales goal, make is specific, then visualize it. Visualize and focus on what you want to achieve. Write it down or get some other type of visual aid and put it in a place where it is highly visible by you. Creating a Vision Board is a good idea. Look at it often and let it inspire you. Visualize and focus your thought on your goal. This will send out the positive vibrations to achi5B0eve your goal and you are on your way to success. Set a goal for a certain amount of traffic (for online business), or number of prospects (for offline business) that you target to have in a specified amount of time, or set a goal for getting a certain amount of conversions in a month. Then use the Law of Attraction to make it happen.

You can use the Law of Attraction to make your Network Marketing highly effective for you. You can't touch the Law of Attraction, you can't taste it or smell it or hear it, but it can be the most powerful tool that you have for your successful Network Marketing.

Prayer and The Law of Attraction

2008-05-31T07:35:00.000-07:00

I know you've heard that you can have, do, or be anything you want -- if you just know the secret. I know it can be frustrating hearing that over and over, all the while thinking that it's just not working for you. This idea of focusing your thoughts to "vote" on what you get in the future is not new; most people call it, "prayer." Don't let the terminology throw you; whether you call it, "prayer," "the Law of Attraction," "wishing," "dreaming," or whatever, the bottom line is that we all think about the things we want until we experience some version of them. And the "thinking" part is the key element in bringing our desires into our experience.

Consider these statements about prayer:

Prayer is a mental activity -- something you do "in your head," or with your thoughts.
Prayer is something we are taught to do, or learn to do; but even before that, we think about our desires and do what we can to make them known to the world so we can have them fulfilled.
Prayer is something we do; as such, if you aren't getting the results you want, if you aren't happy, etc, you can do more, do differently, or learn to do "better," or pray more effectively by way of deeper understanding.

Prayer is thinking -- a specific kind of thinking about something you wish to experience in some way. The Law of Attraction posits that if you think of a thing, you will resonate with it and attract it into your experience; and some version of this concept is fundamental to every religion and philosophy on the planet. The idea tA80hat, "As a man thinketh, so it is done unto him," or, "Man is formed and molded by his thoughts," has been taught by all great spiritual and religious teachers, prophets, healers, and icons. Place your attention perfectly on your desire, and "it will be done to you according to your belief." Prayer is not a "religious thing;" prayer is a "mental-thing" common to all religions -- and used, in one way or another, by all living things.

"Whatsoever you desire, when you stand in prayer, believing, it will be given to you." ~Jesus of Nazareth

If you aren't happy, it isn't because prayer, or the Law of Attraction, or Luck, or whatever you think is the source of your good fortune, has dried-up, or turned its back on you. Consider that people make careers studying the human mind and the mental processes that result in success and health and happiness; then, ask yourself how much you really know about how your own mind works -- not your brain, but the mind with which you are praying. No matter how well you know it, you can always know more; and, the more you know, the better you will be able to use it. No matter what you wish to attract into your experience, focused thought, or prayer, or intense imagining -- coupled with an intense feeling of faith and gratitude -- is the most effective way to align yourself with, and attract, that which you desire.

"Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action." ~Mohandas Gandhi

Use the Law of Attraction to Explode Your Business

2008-05-31T07:20:00.001-07:00

It is said that the Law of Attraction is about 'like attracting like.' That in order to receive positivity in to your life, you first need to think and behave positively. And this law of attraction can be used not only in our everyday experiences and relationships, but also in our businesses as well.

I had a goal - to triple my monthly business volume over the course of 3 months... and there was NO way I was going to be able to do that myself. I could've worked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for all three months and never have come close to that. I was going to need to attract leaders and doers to my company. They would need to be able to learn quickly and duplicate my sales efforts right away.

I made these requirements VERY apparent in my recruiting ads and the results were staggering... If I had put out an ad whose title included "Entry Level Sales", I probably would've gotten about 300-500 prospective people for 2 sales positions I was going to interview them for. Instead my ad included "Top Sales Reps Needed for Record Breaking Expansion" and the body included something to the tune of "this position has no income cap and can quickly reach into the six-figures. If you're interested in a position with base salary, you need not apply." (or something of the sorts...)

The results had me speechless. I only received 28 responses to the ad! Yep, 28 people had enough self confidence to actually apply to an ad that says "Top Sales Rep", "six figures", and "no base salary."

I was worried if I was going to have the time to sort through 500 resumes when the candidates did the sorting for me! Now I narrowed down those 28 to the top 2 through interviews, email correspondence, and more... My recruiting ad stated some very positive things about my industry, the future of my company, and about some of the incredible perks about working at my company. But it also included some steep requirements for my candidate...

Do you lower your expectations and attract the "bottom-of-the-barrel" reps to your sales team, or do you set high expectations and see who rises to the challenge? Be confident and successful and you'll attract confident and successful people.

Are You Open To Abundance?

2008-05-31T07:07:00.000-07:00

Learning to become open to abundance is simply a choice to feel the expectation of happiness and abundance within you every single day of your life.

Imagine that our thoughts, words, and actions are attached to a rubber band - they will go out but they will eventually snap right back to you. Thoughts of abundance, happiness, peace and gratitude will come back to you, but so will the negative thoughts - which one would you like to receive?

Think abundance. Speak abundance. Act abundance.

Be abundant and prosperous at all times. Imagine yourself to be happy, healthy, wealthy and wise. Feel good, get excited, sing and dance, express your pleasure and gratitude because the 5B4rubber band will come back - abundance is on it's way!

If a friend or neighbor receives something you desire, wish them more abundance, more happiness, and many more blessings because the result of this positive thought process will be twofold. They receive more and so do you!

Our egos play a large role in how we react or respond to the situations around us. The ego has a way of getting in the way when we desire to live a life of joy and happiness. Since the role of the ego is to 'protect' us then it will do whatever it can to remain in charge - and repeatedly feed our fears and insecurities.

The ego looks to place blame on people, and situations, instead of admitting that we are the one that is reacting. The ego always looks somewhere else to place blame in order to create separation from what is going on now. We react to something that someone else is doing because we want them to to it differently - so that we can feel better.

The ego takes over when you let circumstances dictate how you feel. Only you have the power to determine how a situation makes you feel, in every moment. By staying focused on positive thought and being aware of your responses - you CAN choose not to feel bad or upset. It takes a little practice, but it is that simple.

There are no short cuts and the sooner you accept that fact the happier you are, the more gratitude you express, and the better you will feel and the easier the jo571urney becomes. Don't look for the hidden path or shortcut because there isn't one.

And here is a secret for you .. the speed that our thoughts, words and actions rebound back to us is related to how consistent, focused and intense our emotions are. The better we feel and the more excited we are, the faster abundance shows up. The same goes for when we consistently feel bad or angry.

Law Of Attraction - Can You Use It To Win A Lottery?

2008-05-31T04:20:00.001-07:00

Someone asked me this interesting question: If Law of Attraction is so powerful, can I use it to win a lottery?

Perha5B4ps you are also thinking about this question.

Law of Attraction can allow you to be, do and have whatever you want in your life but I am afraid it does not include lottery winnings.

This is because winning lottery is not in alignment with the key principle of Law of Attraction, which emphasizes that there is abundance in this world. The world has more than enough food, money, people, resources to go around.

Not all of us want the same thing in life. You may want a BMW to drive around whereas I am just looking for a chance to tour the world.

Law of Attraction believes that if universe grants you a wish, it will not only give you more abundance in life but also people around you.

It does not believe that granting you wealth will make another person poorer. It has the abundance state of mind.

For this same reason, Law of Attraction works best when you ask for something which will not only benefit you but also other people.

For example, you wish for a successful business that gives you $100,000 income in a year. With this money, you are going to donate 10% of your income to charitable cause.

When people feel abundance, they are more likely to share their abundance with others. Take the titling of income for charitable cause as an example. You must be in the state to believe you are able to attract even more abundance before you are willing to give up 10% of your current income.

When you 7EAsend out a signal that you have a lot to share, the universe will respond and provide you with more abundance.

However in a lottery winning, the abundance state of mind does not exist because

(1) The winning is limited. There is just so much to go around that pool of people who bet in the lottery.

(2) Millions of people who bet on the lottery all want to win the top prize. Their wishes cancel out each other, resulting in a cancellation effect.

Now that you understand why you cant rely on wining lottery using Law of Attraction, you may want to consider dedicating your time to focus on your goal and make it a reality. Remember Law of Attraction works best when you ask for something, which will benefit others too.

Creating A Need To Attracting More Money And Abundance In Your Life

2008-05-31T04:07:00.001-07:00

A lot of people want to attract more wealth and abundance in their lives but don't go about it the right way. Remember the law of attraction is always checking your energy vibrations. To attract more money and clients you need to focus your energy on attracting more money and clients. Of course we also know that if your giving out negative energy and doubts, you are also going to attract more of what your send5B4ing out.

Lots of people have negative feelings and doubts when it comes to money. Some complain about not having money, others not enough money. Some people see money as a recipe for eternal damnation but almost all these people want to attract more wealth in their life. They are just going about it all wrong. What they are doing is filtering their desires through the availabiliity of money without creating or having a specific need for it. The universal laws are not going to pick up on these energies because the people have not created a need to have filled. Does this make sense to you?

So first and foremost you must have the desire for creating your need. If you had it already you obviously wouldn't have the desire for it, because you would already be enjoying it. Setting forth the desire and concentrating your energies on them is very important. You must create and have a need to fill or otherwise the universal laws will not have anything to fill and you will get just that, empty, nothing.

When you have the need and focus all your energy on the desire to have the need filled, jumping past focusing on the actual source(in this case money) then you have something very powerful. Concentrate and focus directly on the need that you have the desire to bring forth. Visualize the event as if it already were. Focusing energy to the actual result before it becomes, sends out very strong and positive energies. Now the laws of 222Cattraction have something to fill, that being your need and the desire you have to make it become reality. Makes sense so far?

Now you have attracted the need to take place without ever focusing on the source by which will make the desire become reality. You have now caused the need to be filled, the event to take place, by indirectly attracting the source that makes it all possible, the money!

So practice these techniques and I am sure you will manifest success in your lives.

Earth Day & Law of Attraction - How to Effectively Create the Change You Want

2008-05-31T03:52:00.000-07:00

April 22nd marks the celebration of Earth Day, launched over three decades ago when 20 million Americans demonstrated for a healthier planet. How far have we come since then, and how effective are our strategies for change?

From a law of attraction perspective, we still have lots of room for improvement. Many of us don't use the power of our vibration effectively, and instead slow our efforts by having a sabotaging focus.

Listen to some of the goals and mission statements of various "save the world" organizations:

"We tackle the most serious environmental problems."
"No compromise in the defense of Mother Earth!"
"An anti-nuclear protest and lobby group."
"Safeguard the earth; defend natural places; protect nature; stop the fouling or depleting of resources that support life."

Although it might seem nob5B0le and politically correct to protect ourselves or fight against something we view as "wrong," feeling the need to protect or defend means we're flowing negative energy. The belief that there is something we are "against" calls forth contrary, fear-based energy. As we engage that energy we actually strengthen the very problem we're trying to change.

The challenge doesn't stem from just the mission statements of organizations, but also in the thought patterns and actions of group members and activists. Which would be fine if that's the way the world worked. If we could stop something by pushing against it we'd have had much more success by now!

But that's not how it works. We don't get what we want by fighting against. What we resist, persists. (As evidenced by our well-funded wars against drugs, terrorism and cancer.)

For Effective Results

So what's a good activist to do when seeing something gone "awry"? An effective approach is simply to align (in thought and action) with what we want rather than with what we don't want.

Since whatever we push or fight against we create more of, the trick becomes giving up the resistance while still allowing the change we want to see.

A redirected focus on what we want rather than what we don't want creates a completely different energy, manifesting more positive results.

Here are examples of group mission statements that line up success:5B8

"dedicated to driving sustainability mainstream"
"supporting people's active engagement in creating a just, sustainable, and compassionate world"
"dedicated to aggregating a massive nationwide movement by communicating a positive vision"
"creating a new generation of young leaders committed to positive change in themselves, their communities and the world"

More and more proactive organizations are learning to ground themselves in a more positive focus.

We can practice this same "pro" instead of "anti" strategy in our own efforts to create change in the world. Instead of chastising restaurant owners for using Styrofoam containers, suggest they provide an earth-friendly alternative. Rather than glaring at SUV owners at the gas station, praise the carpoolers at work. When contributing to our cause, rather than focusing on those working against us, notice the other volunteers who devote their time and money to help.

This subtle perspective shift contributes to dramatically more successful results.

Making Peace

Another important key to effectively creating change is to make peace with what is. That may seem contradictory - or even impossible - to many, but when you understand how the Law of Attraction works, it makes good sense. Recognizing that all is well allows us to release the resistance that prevents positive change. As long as we are "against" any5B4thing, we're adding more power to that very thing.

Releasing resistance allows movement, and the best way to do so is make peace with what is. Easier said than done sometimes, but when you realize its power you'll have good inspiration for practicing it. As long as we're attached to results or cling to the notion that things have to change, we keep that change from happening.

Three Steps to Change

So how to be an effective agent of change? Here are three powerful steps to get started:

1) Get clear about what you want. You can use what you don't want as a starting point in gaining clarity, but that's as much as the contrast will serve you.

2) Learn to stay focused on your desired end result. Whether it's through symbols, photos, mantras, or deliberate choice of language, get in the habit of looking in the direction you want to go.

3) Take action that feels good. Let inspiration be your guide. Because like attracts like, we don't get good results by taking action that feels bad. If it doesn't feel good, it's not taking you to the outcome you want.

When we embrace these principles, there is literally no limit to the magic and miracles we can create. Our power as creators affords us the ability to achieve the "impossible," whether that's a restored and healthy planet or simply an employer that agrees to turn the lights out. Do yourself and the causes you care about a favor: stop58F fighting against what's wrong, and use your power to fuel what you do want.

Britney Spears and the Law of Attraction

2008-05-31T03:39:00.001-07:00

Britney Spears. Oh the tongue-wagging that goes on in supermarket checkout lines these days as moms a5B4cross America breathe a collective sigh, thankful (with the possible exception of the fame and the money) that Miss Spears is somebody else's problem. Thankful that their daughters, while troublesome in their own right, haven't reached the melting point of a Spears kid. (Little sister Jamie Lynn, 16, is reportedly expecting another little Spears.)

Aren't we just full of ourselves; such great parents are we!

And didn't you just love it when Momma Spears got her parenting book unceremoniously yanked from publication? Oh, the irony.

The most ironic thing, however, has absolutely nothing to do with the Spears family and what we perceive to be (actually, judge) their shortcomings. As a society, we are collectively making sport of their pain and are gleefully judging each failing move they make in order to validate and overlook our own mistake-filled worlds. This is classic Law of Attraction, but not in a good way.

Britney can be forgiven. She is a child who has grown up in a spotlight of cruelty, as everyone from the media, bus drivers, foreign governments, and fast food workers have "scornfully" weighed in on every negative stumble she has taken, impatient for the next chapter. It's all nothing more than a heaping Roman helping of bread and circuses to them; to Britney Spears, it is her life.

So who or what is a Britney Spears? She is, like any of us, a product of all that surrounds her. She is human, 5B4and she is hurting. She is immature and foolish sometimes, and her demons are worn upon her sleeve for all to see. This makes her more honest than most. She tries, but without a level support system, she oftentimes fails. (That's the part we like; it makes us feel so much better about ourselves!)

Britney Spears, besides fighting a hostile media and disingenuousness all around her, is also fighting a terrible disease. Whether she wins the fight, or is too tired to fight any longer, she remains in the boxing ring of alcoholism and drug abuse. I don't think she even tries to hide it anymore.

We would look at her (judge her) in an entirely different light were she afflicted with cancer or leukemia; you know, an approvable disease. But no matter how much the medical field classifies substance abuse as a disease, it is still looked down upon and only becomes a disease when it is our own, or someone's we care about.

So what is the answer, both for Britney as well as for us? Because to suggest the insatiable thirst of enjoying ringside seats with the downfall of the Spears family as the main event as anything but a two-way street is completely dishonest. We need Britney to fall, just as much as she needs us to take her by the hand and help her off the ground. Left to its own devices, this scenario has just one end, and look no farther than Anna Nicole Smith or Elvis if you want to know what that is. Then, when that 5B4happens, we'll all enjoy 24-hour news cycle coverage as we again cluck our tongues and judge some more.

There is another alternative, however. And it will salve both sides of this sick fence.

The Law of Attraction promises that whatever we desire, as long as the feelings and thoughts are directed and true, that the Universe will provide us with whatever we want.

We have all wanted what we have gotten with the ongoing Spears train wreck, and this is true on both sides. We have attracted this, and so has Britney, her sister, their mother, all of the boyfriends, and all of the hangers-on who have profited from their misery. We have all been excellent attractors, and continue to do so as the game gets ratcheted up to the point that the next stop will be the Los Angeles County Coroners Office. How many have thought when Britney has permanently left the stage, Jamie Lynn Spears is waiting in the wings to assume the starring role. Haven't we all had enough of this?

We deserve better of ourselves, and those two wonderful girls and their families deserve better, too. Let's stop this now. We collectively created it; can we not turn it around and each enjoy life as it is meant to be enjoyed?

It's not too late, and if by providence the Spears sisters read this article, please, girls, take your power back and refuse to be a part of this putrid pantomime and live! Live your lives and focus on your wonderful babie573s, your most beautiful creations ever. Use what the Universe gave you and live the Law of Attraction in a positive way. You've already proven how talented you are when it comes to manifesting the Law of Attraction; now it's time to use it positively and reclaim your lives.

We can also want this for them, can't we? We can want and think and feel the thoughts that will help them manifest this wonderful gift. Can't we do that for them? And if not for them, can't we wish it for their children?

The Law of Attraction is everyone's gift from the Universe, and it is no less a gift for the girls who seemingly already have everything. The Law of Attraction is for Britney, too.

Manifesting Consistently With The Law Of Attraction

2008-05-31T03:25:00.001-07:00

Most people manifest things they want very sporadically. One day will be great and they'll manifest some great stuff, and then the next two weeks will be miserable until they get that next high event when a new manifestation will come about.

That's no way to live a fulfilled life.

If you want to begin manifesting awesome stuff on a consistent basis then you'll need to maintain a high vibration. What this means is that you will need to feel good consistently.

There's several ways in which you can feel good deliberately and consistently maintain a high energy vibration. Here are a 2238couple of methods to raise your overall vibration...

Meditate - Probably the best way to increase your overall vibration is by meditating. By getting yourself into a comfortable and relaxing place where you can begin to quieten your mind, you will be releasing any thoughts that make you feel miserable. And if you don't feel miserable then you will naturally feel good.

Feeling good is your natural state of being. The only way you feel miserable is when you practice miserable thoughts. If those unwanted thoughts aren't there then your vibration will raise by itself.

Visualize - Visualize something beautiful in your mind. Whatever it is, it needs to be something that makes you happy. Maybe a flower, a vacation or a trip to the seaside with your children. Whatever you visualize, enjoy it!

Your mind has the incredible ability to see vivid imagery and can use all five senses in an imaginary place. If you're in a boring, dull, work office why not take 5 minutes to go off somewhere beautiful in your mind to raise your feelings!

Tenets Of Buddhanature Doctrine

The Law of Attraction - An Example Part Two

2008-05-31T03:11:00.001-07:00

Continued from Part One...

Let's go back to our original statement: how do Joe and Cecil come together, even though their natural vibrational patterns are opposing? We have seen how Joe likes to pick fights, and his indifference as to his opponents. We have also seen how Cecil has reactivated the vibration of fear toward bullies.

Now, Law of Attraction goes to work. Normally Joe would never find Cecil. It is up to Cecil to attract to him such a one as Joe. Only by Cecil's continued attention to his fear of bullies can this occur. As Cecil continues to focus upon the incident at the peace meeting, his vibrational signal becomes more aligned to bullies.

One day soon after Cecil is walking down the street from the metaphysical bookstore and in his musings unwittingly takes a right instead of a left and goes walking down toward the gym. At this time it just so happens that Joe has completed his workout and is feeling rather sprightly and aggressive. Joe looks around at all of the others passing and vibrationally feels Cecil.

Cecil's vibration is saying 'do not come to me, bullies. I do not want to fight. Please do not send me a bully, I do not like violent people.', etc etc etc. Out of all of the dozens of people who are passing by at this moment, only Cecil is a vibrational match to Joe.

So what happens?

Joe gets a taunting smile on his face and that old devil takes over. He feels the joy of battle, and the comfort of the life force surging through him. Joe sees immediately that Cecil is physically d5B4elicate and decides that he will have a little 'fun' with him.

"Hey meat -- yeah YOU!" he says to Cecil.

"Who me??"

Joe bumps up against Cecil and sees the fear turn on in Cecil's eyes. This is music to Joe's senses.

"Hey you bumped into me!" Joe says, all the while shoving Cecil backward.

You get the idea. A conflict of greater or lesser proportion will ensue depending upon how strong is Cecil's fear of conflict. In this case, it has less to do with Joe than with Cecil. Although it takes two to tango, for Cecil it is entirely up to him how far this encounter will go. If Cecil is fearful enough of fighting, his vibration is now more and more powerful, and more and more of a match to Joe's always very powerful desire for conflict. In other words, Joe's vibration is always for a fight, and in order for Cecil to encounter Joe, Cecil must bring his vibration toward Joe's.

This is simply the law of 'like attracts like' at work. It is a situation often described as 'karmic.' 'Karma' is simply Law of Attraction. Those situations which seem to magnetically pull you into the middle of them, are simply your own attention to, and focus on, a vibration matching the situation, in the present. Your attention to the person or situation now being experienced actually attracted it to you, not the other way around. It's not someone else, or the universe, imposing itself into your life, even though it sure fee5B4ls like it! It is always and only your free will offering of vibration that attracts whatever is in your experience, to you.

You might say, "but Joe's actions are terrible! What if everyone were like Joe?"

But everyone is not like Joe.

Every being incarnated on earth is unique. If there were two people exactly alike, one of them would be superfluous! There are 6 billion humans, all with our own unique set of preferences. We are all different. We attract unto us that which is consonant with our preferences. That is how the universe works.

This planet is in absolutely perfect balance. For every vibration of hatred, there is a like vibration to match it. For every vibration based in love, there is one of like kind to match it. In the case of Cecil and Joe, there is Joe's love of spirited conflict to exactly match Cecil's fear of spirited conflict. The common denominator is spirited conflict!

Cecil remembers the delight of the neighborhood bully, in his pushing and shoving and taunting of him; his utter dismay that there existed persons in the world with (to Cecil) such a crude and brutal worldview. It is the apparent joy of conflict for some people, and his utter inability to deal with it, which is uppermost in Cecil's consciousness. That is what attracted Joe to him!

Joe and Cecil are an exact vibrational match, like two waveforms of the same frequency and phase. Cecil's vibration attracted Joe'sB68 vibration and they fit together like a key going into a lock.

Thus we see that the victim is more responsible for the crime than the perpetrator. Without a like vibration to match to, no criminal could ever find a victim! This is an outrageous, offensive, and counter-intuitive statement that is fully supported by the laws of the universe.

The Law of Attraction never misses. It is infallible, because it is woven into the very fabric of the universe.

Many people think that it would be a good idea if the world would just shape up and others would behave themselves. Then it would be easy to be happy, for we could just look around and see pleasant things! So well-intentioned people form groups and organizations to fight poverty and cancer and war, and stamp out corruption and pornography and many other things as well. But things get messy very quickly, for when everyone in the world is acting to control others, many toes are stepped on.

If you desire that others should act in a way which is comfortable for you, be sure that they are feeling the same way about your activities!

Now we have a recipe for conflict. There are now lots and lots of people all acting to control you, in their fear that you might do something to threaten them. And you are doing the same.

I'm sure that you have, at some point in your life, tried to accommodate the wishes of a group of people, whether it be family, friends, or co-workers, and you very quickly came to understand the difficulty of pleasing everyone. That is why I said above that not even God would attempt such an endeavor. But such grotesque circumstances can be avoided, with a clear understanding of the Law of Attraction.

Let's look again at the portrait of Cecil and Joe. Joe is happy with his bar fights and his sporting encounters in the gym. Cecil is happy with his metaphysical friends. Each can live harmoniously in his separate world without ever attracting the attention of the other.

Because Joe would be merely inconvenienced by a metaphysical discussion, whereas Cecil would be seriously incommoded in a fight, Cecil has the most at stake.

But Cecil, if he understood the Law of Attraction, would know clearly that it is his perfect guarantor of safety and protection. The solution for Cecil is to keep focused on what he wants. By focusing only on peace, harmony and abundance, he attracts these into his life and automatically places himself in a position where Joe cannot ever reach him, for unmatched vibrations are never co-incident.

This is a much more elegant way to run a universe! Now, instead of each person having to control the actions of everyone else, it is only necessary for each person to control his or her own vibrational space. Now we can dispense with the inevitable conflicts that result when people are trying to stick their noses in each other's busi5B4ness. Joe can have his confrontations and Cecil can have the group which feels most comfortable to him, without there ever being a conflict. If Cecil is focusing on his desires for peace and harmony, he does not take that wrong turn and so never encounters Joe.

Where the Cecil's of the world get into trouble is when they try to limit or constrain the Joe's of the world. By pushing against the Joe's, they only get more of them. What you resist will persist in your experience. It is simply an alignment of energy. The universe works always to align energy. That is why there is perfect balance everywhere. The planet orbits around the sun, rotates about its axis, the atmosphere stays glued to the planetary surface, rain falls, geologic processes function to keep the earth stable, seeds always grow into the same plant every time, larvae and embryo's grow into their proper form.

The forces which operate to maintain harmony and equilibrium in nature are so powerful they cannot even be measured.

It is for us only to trust to this vast, immense, power of well-being that surrounds us, and which penetrates the very structure of the universe. By trusting to the infallible energy matching power of the Law of Attraction, we need only attract into our experience that which is wanted, and preempt those things we do not want. Therefore, we do not need to control the actions of others in order to get what we wan597t, and so it is not necessary to go into so much conflicting action to produce a pleasant environment.

The allowance of the actions of others is the true definition of harmony. Harmony is not everyone thinking and acting alike, but an energetic agreement to live and let live. It is a friendly dance of vibration! Harmony means attracting to you what you would like, and allowing others to do the same.

It means that even in the midst of incredible diversity and contrasting preferences, there can be peace. "To each, his own", as the saying goes. It only requires an allowing of the diversity of opinion and action, without resistance, knowing that if not resisted, nothing that is not wanted can ever be drawn to you. This is the powerful simplicity, the trenchant clarity, the perfect elegance of universal law!

Most people are not familiar or never heard of the word "Realization" in using the law of attraction. That became the main reason why most people are continue5B4 getting what they don't want and struggle to get what they want.

Realization is about "Realizing You Attracted Everything That Is Happening In Your Life". It doesn't matter good or bad, what you want or don't want. Whatever that is happening in your life now, you attracted it. That's the realization part you got to go through if you want to use the law of attraction effectively.

What's the use of it?

Most people don't think that they attracted it. They still want to think that the world, government, people or incidents around them influence their life. Thinking in such a way will not create any success with the law of attraction. If you think others did it, you will think that the situation won't change until they change. If they don't change, you will think that you can change the situation!

For example: You want to get a promotion. However, you are also thinking that you can't get that promotion because your boss is lousy. When you are trying to attract that promotion, you'll have 2 conflicting thoughts- "You can get the promotion" and "You can't get it because your boss is lousy". You can't believe "you can" and "you can't" get the promotion at the same time. If you send out this message to the universe, both will cancel off themselves.

On the other hand, if you realize you are attracting the reality that you are unable to get promoted, you'll start to gain power. You might see that you are continuously5B4 complaining your boss for not promoting you and end up attracting more of it. When you realize it, you can stop that thought and send out only one intention- "Get Promoted". There are no conflicting thoughts and you'll get it soon.

That's the importance of realization. You can start by realizing 2 things:

Realize the good things you attracted. Start to realize the good thing that is happening in your life. You'll get to attract more of it and make it happen again.

Realize the bad things you attracted. Realizing it will stop yourself from attracting it and conflict thoughts that you send out to manifest what you want.

Realization is a very powerful step in using the law of attraction. Start using it and start benefiting from it. You'll realize the amazing power from the law of attraction the moment you apply it.

Free Introduction To The Laws of Attraction

2008-05-31T02:44:00.001-07:00

Every game in life has rules. In soccer you cannot use your hands. You cannot peak at your opponent's hand in poker. You cannot look in the dictionary when you play Scrabble. Each and every one of these rules is considered to be set in stone, yet each rule has a condition under which it may be broken.

The dating game is much the same. There are an established set of rules for capturing the attention of the person you've been dreaming of, and what to do with them once you have them. These rules are all iron clad, yet each has a condition under which they can be broken. Pity the man who is not familiar with the laws of attraction; a violation of these rules carries consequences of shame and loneliness. Not all of these rules are written in any resource available to the general public; some are general knowledge and some are only known by the individuals to whom they pertain. Anyone attempting to enter the scene from the outside needs to be educated on the rules of each game before they decide to throw their hat into the ring.

The laws of attraction are based primarily on a principal of supply and demand. If there is a large supply of mates the laws of attraction are firmly in effect; after all, each individual can afford to be a bit more choosy when selecting their particular companion. If there is a low supply of mates the demand will be high, and the laws of attraction will allow for a bit more leeway; after all, if a mate cannot be found than the species will eventually die off (the "last man on earth" philosophy; rest assured that if you were really the last man on earth she would be happy to date you).

The theory of supply and demand is visible throughout all walks of life. It is exclusive to none. This is seen throughout the animal kingdom, the insect kingdom, among the birds and the bees and the fish. Each species has a particular criteria by which they judge their mates, and each criteria has an exception. Throughout the animal kingdoms it is generally a matter of a lack of mates, as was illustrated in the principal of supply and demand. Fortunately, as humans populate a majority of the Earth's surface the criteria for 5A9bending the laws of human attraction are not so strict as to require the elimination of the species.

Throughout the rest of this series of articles we will touch on the various laws of attraction-and how to get around them. Each article will stand alone for any who join us in the middle but together will serve as a guide to negotiate even the most complicated of situations to attract the perfect mate.

Finding the Perfect Mate Through the Law of Attraction

2008-05-31T02:30:00.001-07:00

Have you wondered where that perfect someone is for you? Have you just been waiting for him or her to enter your life? Well, wait no more. You have all the tools, right now, to find your mate and here are some answers for using the tools that you already possess through the Law of Attraction.

Instead of waiting for them to enter in your life, attract them to you. In order to find your mate, you want to take inventory on what kind of mate you want. Get yourself a piece of paper and start with an inventory list. Write down every quality that you would like in that perfect someone. The physical attributes aren't important at the moment. Is your mate adventuresome, quiet, humorous, enjoys movies? Anything that you can think of, write it down.

Once you take inventory, create a clear image of your soon-to-be mate. Here's a tip: If you have a certain someone in mind, make sure that when you create your image, you go with substance over fluff. When you concentrate on the true qualities, the Universe will attract someone to you who is just as you envisioned. When you emit strong thoughts and feelings about a particular person as the clear image, there is a possibility that the certain someone doesn't possess all the5B4 qualities that you asked for. The Universe knows every living human being and what their qualities are. Even if someone seems to match your image from a quality level, you really don't know if they truly match. Only the Universe does, and you don't want to micro manage the Universe. The Universe will bring you someone that is just as you envision. And who knows, it could be that certain someone but leave it up to the Universe to find the right choice for you.

So now you have this great clear image of your mate. What do you do now?

Take your clear image minus the specific physical features and find yourself a quiet spot to visualize. Close your eyes and see in your mind your perfect mate with all of the qualities you wrote down earlier. See yourself with this person; going places together, having dinner together, whatever you would want to do on a date or in a relationship. Feel the serenity that comes with having someone who is exactly how you envisioned. See yourself together. Hear him or her telling you how much they care about you. Use every sense that you can to create an image of having them right now. Spend at least five minutes on creating your image. After you have had an incredible visualization session, see yourself letting the image go to the Universe and then... truly let it go. Releasing control over finding your mate is essential. Trust the Universe to bring this image to you.

Every evenin5B4g, visualize and let go and trust the Universe. Make sure that you don't put any negative feelings toward the image you created because that will only bring you negative. Make sure not to put any impatient feelings toward your image. The Universe will bring you who you desire in the time required. Again, let's not micro manage the Universe. Your job is to stick to your clear image and visualize and let the Universe take care of the how through the Law of Attraction.

The next step is to be aware because the Universe is going to start bringing you signs that it is taking care of your desire. This sign may manifest as an encouraging 'thumbs up' or this sign may be a sign from the Universe to take action. Here's an example: You meet your best friend's new boyfriend and he happens to possess eighty percent of the qualities you want in a mate. This is a sign of encouragement from the Universe to you. The Universe is telling you that it is working on your mate and it is eighty percent there. See how it works? Then there is the sign of action. You go to lunch with your best friend whose boyfriend's cousin is in town and she wants to know if you would do her a favor and double date. This could be the Universe giving you a sign of action because maybe this is the one. Just make sure you are aware of your surroundings and the signs that the Universe sends to you.

So you see, you have all the tools to bring your mate to yo52Fu through the Law of Attraction. How wonderful is that?

Declutter - 5 Tell-Tale Signs I Need To Do It

2008-05-31T02:16:00.001-07:00

If you are anything like me, you tend to have things piling up around you... in your of5B4fice, your closet, your desktop, your working space, your house, your anywhere and everywhere!

And I know many of us, for whatever reason, have very legitimate reasons for having things pile up. We run out of time, too busy, can't physically do it... excuses, excuses excuses! I have used them all!

For many years I'd read about the importance of getting rid of clutter. In all the personal development material I'd absorbed over the years, in all the conferences, workshops and seminars I had attended, all pointed to the need to declutter your life.

According to The Law of Attraction: you need to get rid of the old (things that don't work, the unnecessary, the negative, the junk) before you can begin to let in the new.

It took me a long, long time to really understand and appreciate the true value of declutter...of getting rid of unnecessary things in my life.

These are the tell-tale signs in my life that it is time I need to declutter:

1) I'm feeling overwhelmed with everything; things begin to pile up. Tasks, even everyday tasks, which ordinarily would be done with relative ease, become problematic and more difficult. I know I need to declutter...when I can't do things as easily as what I usually do. I don't learn things as quickly (depending on what that is of course). And I get this almighty feeling of being incredibly overwhelmed.

2) I'm feeling more tired... actually better described a5B4s more drained than usual. Years ago I read, that clutter in actually takes away a lot of valuable energy in your life. It took me a long time to work that one out and take the idea on board in my own life! And yes... they are right! Unnecessary clutter is draining.

3) Each time I look at my environment (desktop, room, office, closet, house, car) I feel stifled. When the clutter has built up... it weighs me down. I feel like I'm carrying excess weight around (and who wants to do that!). And strangely enough, I don't breathe as well as I do when my environment is decluttered. And when I don't breathe as fully as I can, I don't work, or more importantly play, at my peak.

4) When I no longer can easily find what I'm looking for (as opposed to having forgotten what I'm looking for!!). And I hate that! When I know I have something... but because of all the clutter... I just can't find it! I spend untold wasted energy and time looking for something that, if the clutter wasn't there, would be easily found.

5) My mood is down. When I have a pile of unwanted things hanging around, things I no longer use, things that really should be thrown out or given away, things that just need to go in the right place, I feel really quite down. I begin to feel somewhat helpless (which is not a good feeling), I tend to be more negative in my thinking and talking (which is definitely not good) and I tend to be more lethargic (def5A7initely a no-no!)

When any of these things begin happening... alarm bells ring and I know it is time to declutter -- right now! Not tomorrow... but right now!

I don't have to do everything at once... but I know I have to get myself into gear to declutter.

It's a choice I have to make ... clutter or declutter... I choose to declutter!

4. Pet Something Furry Pet the cat, or dog, or any other animal handy. If you don't have your own, you can always borrow one.

Love is the reason we're here."

-from Love*

The Law of Attraction Secret - How To Manifest Your Desires

2008-05-31T01:48:00.001-07:00

What is the Law of Attraction secret that everyone is talking about? According to Abraham (a collection of spiritual beings channeled through author, Esther Hicks) the Law of Attraction is defined as "that which is like unto itself is drawn". In other words, like attracts like, or you attract everything that you're in harmonious vibration with.

You are the cause of all that occurs in your life. According to the Law of Attraction, you attracted into your life all things, circumstances and events. So whatever happens, you had at least some role in it. Now that's a bitter pill to swallow for most of us initially until we understand that we truly are the co-creators of our lives. This means without exception, we brought it upon ourselves through our thoughts, feelings5B4 and actions. Nothing merely shows up, without cause. You attract it all like a magnet. That's the Law of Attraction secret. No one else has the power to attract what comes to you. Whatever you think and feel repeatedly will manifest in your life by the universal Law of Attraction.

Whatever you think about you bring about. Your thoughts and feelings attract back to you people, circumstances, events and "things" that correspond with those thoughts and feelings. If you feel like you're living in poverty, you cannot attract riches. If you feel lonely, you cannot attract an abundance of friends. If you feel overweight, you cannot a slimmer figure.

If you don't like your results, change your thoughts. That's where it all begins. That's the great Law of Attraction secret. If you don't like what you have, change what's creating it. Change your thoughts and feelings and everything about you changes. You project a higher vibration, which by law will return to you all things that are in alignment with that vibration. Create the life that you want and allow others to do the same.

Pay attention to your thoughts and feelings. Since you attract the essence of what you're thinking about and feeling, it's essential that you monitor your thoughts and how you feel at any moment in time. Are you thinking about what you want... or what you don't want? Are you feeling good or bad? It all starts there. Whatever you're focused on, the Law of5B2 Attraction secret is responding accordingly.

Focus intensifies the strength of a thought. The more you think about what you want -- the more power you give to your goal and the faster it tends to materialize.

You are the Power. Raymond Douglas Stanford said "You are the only problem you will ever have and baby, you are the only solution." The Law of Attraction states that you determine your experience in life. Take responsibility for it. Set your intentions and stick with them. Begin to look for evidence of their arrival and you will find them. That's the Law of Attraction secret.

Now that you understand the basics, here's how to make the Law of Attraction secret work for you automatically. Just pop in the CD of your choice and follow along. You'll be gently led on a guided visualization, designed to take you from where you are now to wherever you want to go. Click here to visit http://www.visualizationfx.com today.

Law of Attraction: 7 Ways To Get Unstuck

2008-05-31T01:34:00.001-07:00

We are always creating our reality by our thoughts. Energy is always flowing where we give our attention. When we feel we are stuck, we are unconsciously re-creating the same situation for our selves over and over. It is like a car that is stuck in snow the wheels are moving, the engine is revving, and the car is digging itself in deeper where it is. There is lots of activity going on, just no forward motion.

When we feel stuck we are there because we are focused more on the lack of what we want than we are on the having of what we want. We are looking at frustration, and at not yet having. What we look at is what we get. We are looking at, and fretting about, the situation as it is. That is not where we want to look. We already know we dont want the situation as it is; we want it to be different. But the only way 5B4it can become different is if we live in the feeling place of having attained it.

OK, how do we do that? When we look at what is, we are just spinning our wheels and digging ourselves in deeper where we dont want to be. We have to look at what we want. One: Start by thinking about your goal or desire. Let yourself relax into the feeling of having it or experiencing it. If it is more money, how will you feel as you spend it? If it is a relationship, feel yourself smiling at your partner and laughing at something only the two of you find funny. Is it a new job? Feel your pride as your boss tells you how wonderful you are.

Begin to ask yourself how you will feel when all is the way you want it to be? What will you be doing? Two: Then ask yourself why you want it. What other wonderful things will this lead to? How will your life be better? Spend some time focusing on that. Being in the feeling or with the feeling is the energy that brings it to you. Dont give any thought to the fact that you dont have it yet, just think about how it will feel when you do.

Three: Say to yourself, Wouldnt it be nice if . . . and let yourself daydream all kinds of wonderful things for yourself. Say, Isnt it wonderful that . . . and pretend that it has all come to pass exactly the way you want it. This softens the resistance around your desire and lets it begin to enter your world. Dont worry about the fu5B4ture tense of the words, just concentrate on the feelings you have with these statements. What you are doing here is softening your vibration of not having. If you find yourself feeling a joyful anticipation, you are doing this right.

Four: Look around you for examples of others who have, or are doing what, you want. If they can do it, so can you. How do you think they are feeling? What are they thinking to have or experience that? See evidence of it happening around you. Notice that the Universe can provide it in many ways to many people. Look for signs of its coming.

Do you look around at others and feel not good enough? One of the major reasons our manifestations are limited are our feelings of unworthiness. It is our own lack of self love that restricts our joyfull-ness.

Five: Start a BOPPA a book of positive, personal aspects of yourself. Get a pretty notebook with blank pages. Write down all the wonderful things you can think of about yourself. No matter how small or how insignificant, write them down. Every day, come back to it and add a few more. You can write things like, I listened to my brother on the phone today while he was complaining, or My fingernails are clean and neat. or Im proud of myself for being patient with that sales clerk when I really wanted to bite her head off. As you read these back to yourself, you will find you liking yourself more. And as you like yo5B4urself more, you will find your manifestations come easier. Honest.

Six: Do a focus wheel. Draw a circle in the center of a piece of paper. In the center write the thought you want to feel better about. It can be as simple as I want to move toward my goal, or it can be more specific, like, My leg is healed. Then, around that circle, like spokes of a wheel, start writing statements supporting your goal or desire. Radiate them out like numbers on a clock. Go around the wheel, writing reasons why you know your goal is coming, or why you want it, or evidence youve seen that encourages you. For over an hour today, my leg felt fine. I can stand longer than I used to. My body knows just how to heal itself. The rest of my body is in perfect health. Perfect health can be in my leg, too When you are finished writing, go around the circle and read what you wrote, allowing yourself to feel the relief of it. By the time you are finished, you will have spent quite a few minutes focused on why the statement in the center is true. You will have substantially lessened your resistance, moving from your stuck feeling into expectation.

Seven: Soothe yourself. Talk to yourself as if you are speaking to your inner two year old. Say things like, Even though I dont have it yet, I know Im getting closer, and Good things always happen to me, and Im becoming more conscious of t59Fhe vibration I put out and as I do, Im creating more of what I want. Be gentle. Be kind to yourself. Remind yourself that the Universe is always giving, and that good is the natural order of things.

The common thread in all of these exercises is that they focus on the joy of having, doing or being what you want for more than 17 seconds. It takes 17 seconds for an idea to draw a similar idea to it. The longer you can hold your thought on your desires, the faster they will manifest. Focus on the joy. The joy will pull your desires to you.

Did You Know? Thoughts Become Things

2008-05-31T01:20:00.001-07:00

Ask and It Is Given is not just the name of Esther Hicks book. It is the most accurate expression of this entire universe. You ask, and the universe delivers.

This philosophy has been given the name the Law of Attraction.

It isnt something that can be switched on and off whenever you want to, it is working continuously. It works every time and there are no exceptions.

Similar to the Law of Gravitation, you would not expect it to suddenly go on the blink and half of planet suddenly begins to float 3 metres off the ground, whilst the other half of the planet have 3 tonne lead boots on and are welded to the ground!

So why do we sometimes feel as if the Law of Attraction is not working for us? Why do we sometimes wish we could turn it on and off at our own choosing? It is because the majority of people on this planet have untrained minds and thus untrained thoughts.

Their thought patterns are erratic and feel spontaneous - thus their lives unfold in that manner also. If the average Joe Bloggs were to spend a tiny fraction of their time training their mind instead of watching television or reading the news, that person could begin to focus, at will, on whatever they desired with accurate images firing their way into the mind.

Instead what happens is, thoughts get flung left, right and centre into their mind as if it is not really them in control of it. The fact of the matter is you ARE in control of what you think about. You get to choose how you reac5B4t to every circumstance and you also get to choose whatever thoughts you want to think.

Mike Dooley (author of Infinite Possibilities) states that Thoughts become things. And this is a very accurate description.

An even more accurate description would be to say it is the emotions you feel that attract physical manifestations into your life.

Thoughts create Images which create Emotions which create Results.

So how can you tell if you are on the right path to creating your desires? Pay more attention to the Thoughts, Images and Emotions that you experience on a day to day basis. Make it your intention to feel good for no other reason that to feel good!

Law Of Attraction - The Basics Of Why Your Life Is The Way It Is

2008-05-31T01:06:00.001-07:00

The Law of Attraction is an ancient concept that is being made widely known by a massively popular DVD movie called, 'The Secret'.

The Law of Attraction is based on a Universal Law that is all around you working all the time. It states that what you give your attention to in life, you attract. In other words, like attracts like. Everything in your life, your current situation, the good things you like and the bad things you do not like, you have literally attracted.

Now, the immediate response tends to be 'no I did not, I did not attract this or that'. We live in an orderly Universe that is very specific and precise. So much so, that we can time the landing of a spacecraft on the moon within a few seconds. You attract what you give your attention to most.

The problem is that most people tend to focus on the things that they do not want and wonder why they are in the situation that they do not want! The Law of Attraction does not discriminate between good or bad, it is all relative. Whether you want something or do not want something, as long as you are thinking about it, you are attracting it!

Take money for example as most people have issues here. A lot of people are in debt and can never seem to get out of it. They think, well, I do not want to be in debt. Whether you want to get out of debt or not, if you are thinking debt, then you are going to attract more of it. This is a powerful Law. The Law of Attraction is working all the time. Whether you see it, understand it or not, it is there, like the force of gravity. You can see gravity and like me you probably do not understand it. But you know it is there and the effect it has.

What you need to start doing if you are unhappy with something in your life is to shift your focus. You need to start putting your focus on the things that you do want, not what you do not want! It is easier said than done but little by little, the more you4CD practice this, the more you will start to see things shift in your life. As you practice and become aware of the things that you want, actually start appearing in your life, you will know this is the Law of Attraction at work. You are the creator of your reality. Focus on what you want and change your life!

Every month I give 10% of the profit from my business to charity. This is not only a moral decision, its also a shrewd business decision. In fact, its proved to be such a good investment strategy for my business that from 1st January Im increasing it to 12%.

I originally started giving money to charity because I wanted to do my bit. Then some years ago I decided to formalise this and give 10% of my income each month to charity.

I was amazed that in the few months after I made that decision my income increased dramatically, and I found I appreciated and enjoyed the money I had much more than Id ever done. Im not certain of the mechanism, but I think it works a bit like an affirmation: every time I give money in this way Im saying that I dont have to worry about money, more will keep coming. Also I know that the more I earn the more other people benefit.

I used to run a workshop for therapists, 'Managing Your Practice for Success', and I told people that one of the most important things I felt they could do was to give some of their money away. Some of the participants at these seminars tried it, and it was good to hear that they had the same experience the amount they had each month had increased significantly since they had made the decision to give some of it away, and they were finding they were less stressed about financial matters generally.

10% may seem a lot if you have little. As you have more, it also seems a lot in an absolute sense. Theres always a good reason not to do it. Although I know it works, I feel a little resistance each month when I do it, but I also get a great glow of satisfaction.

Try adding this to your strategies for achieving financial freedom.

Law of Attraction And Want Versus Need

2008-05-30T23:44:00.001-07:00

Let's discuss the word 'need' opposed to 'want'. Remember, it isn't the word itself that you are avoiding, it is the feeling attached to the word. When you say that you 'need' to buy some groceries, use of the word isn't going to affect your world by turning it upside down with 'need'. It's when you use the word 'need' in a sentence like this: I 'need' so much money that I don't ever know how I will pay off these bills! When using the word 'need' with feeling attached, you are emphatically expressing what you don't want to the Universe.

The Universe will act upon your feelings and your 'don't wants' and bring to you exactly what you don't want which in the example above is money. When you have expressed such a strong feeling, do your best to change the sentence for yourself. "I may have bills but I know that they will be paid and that is what I 'want' so I will trust the Universe in bringing to me just that."

Then...let it go and just trust the Law of Attraction to work for you. This can be applied to anything that you want to obtain.

Using the word 'want' seems to work well. When you tell the Universe that you want something from a positive standpoint, you will receive what you want. Be clear in your wants and concentrate on your 'wants' and not your 'needs'. When you have one of those desperate moments and you bellow out what you need, try to turn it around into a want or desire. This can be done pretty easily and you will see thaB52t once you turn it into a positive, it will feel good. Here's an example: "I want my car to work. I want a perfectly running car. Thanks Universe!" Opposed to: "I need this car. I need everything to run right!" Can you hear the difference in the feeling? The Universe acts on your feelings and whatever images you have in your mind at that time. So if you have an image of a broken down car in your mind and you are feeling 'need', guess what will happen? If you have an image of a broken car fixed and feel trust and faith in the Law of Attraction, the Universe will respond with your want. It's that simple.

Anytime you feel that you 'need' something, it is a 'don't want' and will cause resistance. It's like you are pushing against what you truly want. When you push against something, you are resisting what you want and the Universe will comply with your command and bring you resistance. If you don't 'need' something and just want it and know you will have it, you are going with the flow. There is no pushing and the Universe will bring you what you want via the Law of Attraction.

The Law of Attraction really is easy to comprehend. By seeing what you want, feeling what you want, and providing no resistance against your desires, you will have your desires. By 'stewing' and 'needing' a desire, you are setting yourself up to receive more to 'stew about' and 'need'.

So what will you choose to do? Will you choose to push against your want or 'go with the flow' of your want?

If you are a practitioner of the Law of Attraction you know what is best for you in order to obtain what you desire. By knowing just a few little tricks about feelings and certain words, you will be ahead of the game in attaining those wants and desires.

Attracting Love - Using The Law Of Attraction To Find Love

2008-05-30T23:31:00.001-07:00

Everyone needs love; and, at some level, we all want it. But, these days, most people seem to be "looking for love in all the wrong places!" What is love, and where do we find it? Or, better yet, how can we use The Secret, or The Law of Attraction, to bring love to us?

First of all, let's clarify what I mean by "the wrong places." Mostly, the wrong place to look for love is "outside," or outside of yourself. In other words, the only place you'll ever find love is INSIDE you; and it is there -- waiting for you to discover. The love you seek is in you.

If you are thinking you want a romantic relationship, so you can enjoy the feeling of being loved, keep in mind that the real value of a relationship is having someone to express your love to. Being loved is great; but the true joy of love is in loving. We've all heard the old saying, "It is better to give than to receive;" in the case of love, truer words have never been spoken.

Some people think of love as the sum of what another person can do for, or give to, us. There are other words that are perhaps more appropriate for the things other people "give" us -- words like: Gratification; affe5B4ction; attention; etc. To "attract" love, "you must become the change you seek..." Be love. Be the kind of love you want; become the kind of person you wish to attract. That really is all there is to it. Oh yeah, you have to say, "Yes," when they ask you out on a date, too.

This may seem confusing at first; and I can hear you saying, "But, I want to HAVE love!" or, "I want to FIND love, not BE it..." Relax; and ask yourself if you love you. Ask yourself if you are the kind of person you want to be around -- or that someone else would want to spend a lot of time with. When you are that person, you'll find yourself noticing others who feel the same way.

Ask yourself if what you want is love, or if what you really want is to "not be alone," or "not be lonely." There are many "bad" relationships in this world -- relationships that were formed because two people had sex, or because they don't know how to be alone, or how to find someone "like" themselves to be with. It is important to know why you want a relationship, or why you are in the one you are in.

Love is kindness, respect, compassion, and appreciation; when you have mastered these things in yourself, you will begin finding them in others -- and they will find them in you. You aren't alone in your search for love; and right now, someone kind, respectful, compassionate, and appreciative is searching and waiting for someone just like that. "Become the change you see4C4k;" and the change you seek will find you. Love is all you need; and you've already got a lifetime supply of it.

Law of Attraction - Unlocking the Power of Prayer

2008-05-30T23:17:00.001-07:00

If you are talking about using your mind to get what you want in life, you are either talking about the Law of Attraction, or Prayer. Of course, whether you are talking about Prayer or the Law of Attraction, you are really just talking about how to use your thoughts to influence or change your experience. Thinking is thinking; and, you are either doing it effectively or you're not.

The idea that our thoughts influence our experience has been taught - in one way or another - throughout human history and long before any religions were created. When knowledgeable, but perhaps unwise, people pass-on such instruction, meaning is sometimes lost; and effectiveness dwindles as the spirit, purpose, meaning, and understanding of a thing fades into the practice of memorizing and repeating words and actions.

Consider that, no matter what religion you are, it isn't one of the Original religions; those disappeared before our recorded history. Consider that, even if you are trying desperately to do the "right thing," someone told you what "right" and "wrong" are; if they were slightly off the mark, then the "right" thing may become something that no longer "works," or is no longer the "effective" thing. The teaching, "know them by their fruits," can be applied in any area of life; if a person says one5B4 thing and does another, you can know them by their words, or actions - but not both, as their words and actions contradict each other. If you think you have planted an orange tree, and apples appear on the branches one day, you know you have planted an apple tree; you were simply mistaken about the nature of the seed you planted.

If someone taught you how to pray, their methods either produce results - or fruits - or they do not. I'll ask the age-old question here: "Would you rather be Right, or Happy?" You aren't making dead ancestors proud by sticking to their words when you don't understand those words and they aren't helping you. The teaching to consider the "fruits" a thing produces basically asks, "What's the use in something someone TOLD you is right if it doesn't produce the fruit you desire?"

Are you doing the "Right" thing (as taught to you by people who either had a happy life or not), or are you doing the thing that "Works" for you? Though I know this quote from the New Testament, most religions contain this teaching: "Whatsoever you desire, when you stand in prayer, believing, will be given to you." If you aren't getting what you want in life, you haven't been "black-balled" by God; you simply were not taught effective methods of prayer.

When you plant a seed in your mind - a thought - it always grows into a physical representation; what we sow in our minds, we reap in our bodies and lives. The Law of Att5A0raction simply talks about "how" this could be happening; but prayer, or whatever you call, "focusing your thoughts, mental images, and feelings on your heart's desires," is the way, or method, that has always been used to "choose" those things we create and experience. Thoughts are things; and they become reality. So, in order to unlock the power of prayer, just remember: It isn't the words you say, but your thoughts, that count.

Law of Attraction Manifestation Exercise # 7 - Eliminate The Negative Past and Get A Fresh Start

2008-05-30T23:03:00.001-07:00

Imagine that you have this friend. Your best friend. A friend who has been through everything with you in life, all of your ups and downs.

Now at times you think this friend is great! Who would you be without this friend? There is just one little thing though about this friend that drives you crazy. He or she just lives to criticize you.

They remind you of every embarrassing thing you have ever done, every mistake that you have ever made. They can make you feel guilty, jealous, and angry like no one else on the planet can.

They tell you that you will never be more than you are now. That you should just be grateful for what you have because what makes you think that you are so special and entitled to anything more?

They tell you to get real. That you will never get that dream girl or guy, they are way out of your league. They say you will never get that promotion because you are just not smart enough.

On and on they go everyday telling you what you cannot be, have or do.

Now you might be thinking, who on Earth would want a friend like that?

The answer is you if you are still letting that pesky thing called Ego run your life. Read the above statements again and see if that "friend" sounds familiar to you.

We originally created the Ego to help us stay focused on our own unique experiences while on Earth. Because we are in fact All One, we needed a sort of tuner to help keep us focused on our own station and have a way to "tune out" all the other traffic out there. Otherwise we would just be hearing all the other gibberish from all the other parts of ourselves (the millions of other people on our planet right now).

The problem however began when we started giving that Ego too much power and mistakenly started to believe that the tuner was in fact our "identity". When we started to believe everything it told us was truth.

Our next mistake was in believing that everything that has happened up in our lives until today has now defined who we are going to be tomorrow. Another trick of that pesky Ego. It has now established our identity and it doesn't want to give it up easily. It likes itself just where it is. It feels safe and easy...even if you are miserable.

So now when you say "I'm going to lose weight and get in shape over the next few months" the Ego says "Uh. Uh, Uhhhh. No we are not. I am comfortable here. I don't like change. We have now established ourselves as a "slightly overweight person" and I don't feel comfortable changing that label." And then it goes into a whole bunch of reasons why you won't be able to do it. It will tell you things like "You've tried it a million times before and it's never worked so why even bother." Or "you're never going to find time to go to the gym a couple of times a week." or "Eating food that is good for you is boring" or any of the one million things it will try to come up with. I am sure you can fill in any blanks from your own 5B4pesky little voice.

So now...what do you do?

You need to shake that little sucker up. Throw it off its tracks. Shock the heck out of it!

How do you do this?

You focus on the moment of NOW!

You see, the Ego can only survive on the past. All of the criticism, guilt, negative talk and thoughts all stem from things that it has made connections with from your past.

If you choose to live in this NOW moment there is nothing for it to feed off of anymore.

You can be a new person as of this MOMENT. It does not matter a lick what happened in your childhood, or past relationships. It doesn't matter how many mistakes you have made or how many failures you have had. That is in the Past. It's over. There is nothing that can be done about any of that.

All that matters is right NOW. This moment. Right NOW you can be anything you want to be! And there is no one to tell you differently.

So what is the exercise?

Grab a pad or open a fresh page on your word processor.

Imagine that you just arrived on this Earth for the first time this morning.

You have absolutely no preconceived notions about anything.

Everything around you is fresh and new. You are amazed at all the unbelievable experiences you can have while you here on this planet. It is like the biggest playground you have ever seen!

Write down all your impressions. Even the smallest thing.59C Imagine you were writing someone "back home" and explaining all of the wonderful things down here on this planet there are to experience.

Tell them about the food! You discover there are at least 25 different places you can eat with hundreds of food choices within blocks of you. Tell them about the people! There are so many you can meet, have fun with, laugh with, share things with. Tell them about all the millions of ways people have to make money while they are here. Explain how you can't imagine anyone not being able to earn a fantastic living while here doing something they love because there are just so many options!

How about where you live? Explain how cool your house and apartment are. Explain about cell phones, televisions, computers, etc.

For the next few days keep acting like everything you see around you is brand new Everything is possible for you because "you have never tried them before".

And if that pesky ego tries to thwart your fun be sure to say to it "I don't know who you are or where you get your pessimistic ideas little fellow but I know that I am entitled to experience every good thing down here just be being here. So I think you better move on and find someone to tell your silly fantasies to.

You will be amazed at how differently you will see the world and all of your possibilities when you look at them with fresh eyes.

Happy Creating!

Law of Attraction - Cooperative Reality

2008-05-30T22:49:00.001-07:00

Universal Law
There has been an enormous amount of discussion lately about the Law of Attraction, you could say that the Law of Attraction has gained celebrity status as the personal development tool of the moment, the current popular method for manifesting your dreams. What most people don't realize is that the Law of Attraction is not a new idea, in fact it's not even an old idea in the sense that there was a point in time when somebody coined the phrase and suddenly everyone began using it like some new appliance. Someone of course did invent the phrase Law of Attraction, but in the same way that Sir Isaac Newton invented the word gravity. The Law of Attraction like gravity, just is, no one owns the rights to it, in fact it is impossible to avoid using it.

The Law of Attraction is one of many laws by which mankind has been operating consciously or unconsciously since the dawn of time. Most people are blissfully unaware of how these laws affect their lives and equally unaware that the power of these laws can be harnessed and used to great effect on a daily basis.

Since the release of the movie The Secret, the Law of Attraction has come to the forefront in peoples minds as the ultimate tool for changing your life and that is a good thing. I find however that many people after watching and reading information about the Law of Attraction are still somewhat confused as to how it actually works. There is a lot of talk about holding images in the mind, sending thought vibrati5B4ons out to the universe, maintaining a state of expectation and gratitude, and waiting for the universe to respond by the Law of Attraction and provide that upon which you have focussed your intention, and so on. All of these things are very wonderful and I have found all of them useful in my own learning, but none of these ideas provided me with truly satisfactory answers about how the Law of Attraction actually works, both spiritually and scientifically.

Now if you're anything like me, blind faith just doesn't cut it, most people like at least to have some kind of decent explanation for why they should get involved with the Law of Attraction, otherwise we tend to reject the whole idea outright, which would be a unfortunate indeed.

Vital Knowledge
The trouble that I think some people have is that they hear about incredible success stories involving the Law of Attraction, amazing tales of people that have gone from having an average kind of existence to living a life that most people only dream about, and then set out in good faith to achieve similar results. Clearly not everyone achieves the results they had hoped for, why is this? Has the Law of Attraction failed? Are all of the success stories bogus? Are they just clever ploys to get us to buy books and movies about how to use the Law of Attraction?

There are many individual claims about the Law of Attraction bringing great abunB68dance and the fulfillment of great dreams, and there are also charlatans in every area of life, religious, secular, scientific, but it would be a great mistake to reject a concept of such potential because of a few con artists, you might as well give up on all personal development right now.

As for the first idea that the Law of Attraction has somehow failed to work, my own experience tells me that this is simply not possible, the Law of Attraction is not a business plan, or a clever scheme that is subject to markets or the moods of individuals, it is as constant and predictable as the sun rise, all that is required is the appropriate level of understanding in order to leverage its potential.

This I believe is where a lot of confusion exists, why do some people seem to be able to apply the Law of Attraction with great affect and others struggle to see the smallest things manifest? The answer is knowledge, there is a basic lack of understanding about how the Law of Attraction works. Some people however seem to be able to easily apply the Law of Attraction and get results even though they have no more knowledge of what is actually happening than the next person, why is this? It is because some individuals have a mental pre-disposition to accepting the Law of Attraction, its requirements and outcomes without question, others don't and require further instruction about the fundamentals of the law of attraction before being able to apply themselves properly.

Its a bit like being given a kit for a model aeroplane without the assembly instructions, some people may have a natural understanding about how to assemble things, they may have watched their father assembling model aeroplanes in the past, but for others it will be an almost impossible task, time consuming and frustrating.

It is my experience that with a basic increase in understanding about the Law of Attraction and the underlying principles that govern it, any individual can begin to see real results in every area of their life almost immediately. So let's now take a look at some of that useful knowledge that will assist us in gaining a better understanding of how to apply the Law of Attraction to great affect.

The Most Important Thing
The first thing that I would like to say is that the Law of Attraction is not the most powerful law in the universe, contrary to popular opinion, there are a number of underlying principles that govern how the Law of Attraction works, and that is where we shall begin.

I want to start by making this statement; when we use the Law of Attraction, we do not attract things! this is also contrary to popular opinion. There is not a sports car with your vibration on it waiting for you to believe that it's yours before it appears in the driveway. This may seem a ridiculous statement, but there5B4 are many teachers of the Law of Attraction that state exactly that, it's about manifesting things, well it's not.

The Law of Attraction does not work by you putting out a thought vibration to the universe and somehow the universe, through the principle of the Law of Attraction, responds to that thought by sending you the thing that matches that vibration, yet unfortunately this is what is taught. Some people simply accept this explanation and get on with using the Law of Attraction to great success, you could call that blind faith, and I have no problem with that at all, but it won't work for everyone, and that does concern me because it can work for everyone.

The most important thing you will ever understand about the Law of Attraction is that it always involves other people, other minds, other realities, not things. I call this underlying principle Cooperative Reality and discuss it in detail throughout my book.

Put simply, Cooperative Reality states that in order to apply the Law of Attraction you require the cooperation of other individuals realities. Understanding this concept has been the single greatest step in my own personal growth, when I came to this realization it completely revolutionized my experience in using the Law of Attraction. It provided me with meaningful direction in the application of all the methods I was ignorantly using to apply the Law of Attraction.

I have b111Ceen asked many times to explain my success in using the Law of Attraction, and I discover that it's not easy to summarise the concept of Cooperative Reality, and that is why I decided to write my book entitled Law of Attraction - Cooperative Reality. I will however attempt to summarise the book in order to give you at least some idea of the power of this concept in relation to the Law of Attraction. I must state however that there will be some ideas that may seem very unusual, but I assure you there is solid scientific evidence for everything I am putting forward, again, explained in detail throughout my book.

The Quantum Field
First of all we need to ask the question "what is reality?" and I will begin by taking a brief look at a concept within Quantum Physics called super position. Briefly stated super position is referring to sub atomic particles appearing in more than one place at the same time, in fact the same electron, if I may use this particle as an example, could appear in as many as 3000 different or potential locations simultaneously, this phenomenon is referred to in Quantum Physics as a wave function. So the entire universe being made up of the very tiny world of sub atomic particles exists in super position, or one of many potential locations, on a universal scale Quantum Physicists call this the Field of Potential.

This is great new for us all, it means that your reality is not fixed, it is flexible, changeable, it can be altered from one form to another, but who does the transforming and how?

The Observer
This brings me to the second point I would like to consider, also a concept used in Quantum Physics called The Observer, and this principle directly affect and alters the Field of Potential. So what is The Observer? Well, you are the Observer, along with ever other conscious individual on the planet. And what does the Observer do? The Observer is responsible for the collapse of the wave function. What does that mean? Basically it means whenever you consciously observe the Quantum Field you snap your reality into a single location in time and space. Scientists conduct complex experiments with particles that bare out this concept and it certainly aligns with my own experience.

So when we observe the Quantum Field, the world, the universe, what position do we collapse the wave function to? Where does our reality finish up? Well that is determined by what you believe, and I'm not referring to your religious allegiance, I'm talking about what you believe your reality should be with every fibre of your being, which is taught in the Law of Attraction, it's just not generally explained that well. Now you are not the only Observer collapsing the wave function to set reality by what you believe, everyone is an Observer, and that is of vital importance to understand. To properly apply the Law of Attraction we need to somehow alter the way other people view reality, and we will take a look at that shortly.

Rewiring The Mind
Finally we need to consider how it is that we change our fundamental beliefs about ourselves and about the world. Fortunately for us, the construct of our belief systems exist within the mind, in the complex structure of neural pathways that make up the different areas of the brain. I say fortunately, because recent discoveries in neuroscience have revealed that the neural structure of the brain is highly flexible, not rigid and fixed as scientists first thought. You are not destined to be locked in to behaviors and attitudes of the past, ways of thinking and patterns of belief that have been neurologically passed down to you by your ancestors through your DNA, you possess the power to reconstruct the neural pathways in your brain and create a brand new construct of reality in your mind.

This is a vital area of knowledge that most Law of Attraction publications do not go into, some of the common Law of Attraction methods such as, focussed intention, and holding an image in the mind of a new reality do have an affect on the neural construct of the brain, but the affect can be temporary, because we are not taught how to solidify the new construct for use over the long term. The5B4 human mind processes roughly 100,000 bits of information per second, yet we are only consciously aware of around 2000 bits of that information. What we need to do is begin to learn how to permanently alter the construct of our neural net in order to perceive a new reality, to become aware of things that we had never considered before and forever change our deep beliefs about who we are and what we are doing here.

Putting it all Together
So what does this all mean in relation to using the Law of Attraction more effectively? Your first goal when attempting to apply the Law of Attraction must be to alter your fundamental beliefs about what your own reality is in order to begin collapsing the quantum field to that new reality, but as I mentioned earlier, you are not the only one that sets reality through belief, and this is where the Law of Attraction really comes into its own.

As you apply all the methods around the Law of Attraction, visualization, intentions, gratitude etc, you create a stronger reality for yourself, and that reality connects with corresponding vibrations in the minds of those around you. You begin to alter other individuals beliefs in relation to you, and they also begin to collapse the quantum field in alignment with your new reality. Basically you create a stronger personal reality that affects those around you, this is no game of chance, but using the Law of Attraction5B4 properly does feel a little like stacking the odds in your favour. When I first began to really understand and apply the principles mentioned above, all the small details of my life began to change, my life went from 80 percent of the things that happened to me being a disappointment to 80 percent of things becoming truly positive and magical virtually overnight.

Conclusion
Your life consists in all the small details that make up your reality, you don't need to be somewhere else or do something else in order to be truly happy, using the Law of Attraction you can begin to quickly transform every area of your life from the mundane to the incredible, everyone has this ability, all you need is a brain and a choice.

As I said, it is difficult to explain this subject briefly, but I hope you have found this article helpful in your understanding of the Law of Attraction and how it works.

If you would like to learn more about properly applying the Law of Attraction and find out about the practical methods I use for changing my own fundamental beliefs and affecting the reality of those around me, I encourage you to consider reading my book Law of Attraction - Cooperative Reality, you will find simple practical methods for using the Law of Attraction and Cooperative Reality, along with clear explanations of all the concepts I have mentioned in this article.

You are an incredible, ete434rnal being, full of power and potential, I wish you every success in your search for change through the Law of Attraction.

Teaching Children the Law of Attraction

2008-05-30T22:35:00.001-07:00

Each one of us possesses all the tools to have all that we desire in our lives through intentionally applying the Law of Attraction. So can you imagine what it would be like to be a child of the Law of Attraction; to apply the Law of Attraction intentionally from childhood? Think of how wonderful life would be, and life's bumps would seem less potent.

Children naturally live the LOA until they begin to communicate and are told by others what is right and wrong for them. So how do you raise a child to understand and apply the Law of Attraction without encouraging and creating a little monster with no manners? Just because you are teaching them to apply the LOA doesn't mean you let them get away with everything because you thing you might be encroaching upon their world.

Children are like the intuitive mind. That is where they live until we show them the logical mind. We continually teach them about the logical mind and what we perceive is right or wrong, and parents teach their children what to be afraid of and what dangers there are through their own life perceptions. Your children get this passed on to them, just like it was passed on to you.

But how wonderful would it be to teach our children how to use their intuitive minds as well as the logical mind while putting more emphasis on the intuitive? Let's teach our children how to create without fear so when they grow up that is all they kn5B4ow. They could become the great creators of their lives and have all they desire...love, gratitude, joy, health, financial abundance, relationships, career, just like they would want it. And just like you want it for them.

Every one of us carries baggage of some sort and even if we aren't responsible for it, our children will most likely inherit the same baggage. But if they are equipped with the tools to teach them how to release their baggage early on, they will avoid dragging a baggage cart through life. Let's teach our children the Law of Attraction now so they can have a Law of Attraction lifetime of intentional creation.

Children learn by example. The best thing you can do for your child is to show how to live life joyously and be grateful for their lives. By observing how you live through the Law of Attraction, your child will begin to create perceptions of life. Make sure you are applying the Law of Attraction intentionally so they will 'perceive' how life works. Then when they become adults, they will apply the LOA effortlessly.

You will have shown them how to live life gratefully, effortlessly, and with love through the Law of Attraction.

How To Make A Woman Jealous - Sex Talk

2008-05-30T22:20:00.000-07:00

How to make a woman jealous? That's the question a lot of guys ask when they are either chasing a particular woman or they are trying to get back with a girl who's just dumped them. Or, another common scenario is that you are in the 'friend zone' with a girl who you'd like to get intimate with.

She likes you, but doesn't want to sleep with you. You're already her friend so you are half way there! You now need to get yourself out of the friend zone and take your relationship with her to the next level. You need to learn some of the strategies of the alpha male to do this.

The best way is to make her jealous. This can either be done by dating another girl and making sure she absolutely knows about it. Or, just invent a girl and make sure she doesn't know its just an invention.

When you are talking to your female friend one day, shock her and ask her a sexual question. What positions are best for making a girl orgasm? What is her biggest turn on? You have now crossed that "friendship" line and taken it to a much more intimate level. You'll actually find that she won't be as taken aback as you think - just make sure you put on your best Alpha Male front, and ask these questions with confidence. Whatever you do, don't sound apologetic for raising the topic. If you do, then you'll be swiftly back into beta male territory.

Meanwhile, start seeing her less, but when you do see her make those time more fun. Do something different and exciting, interesting. In turn, she'll look forward even more to the time you do spend together, and start to hate the time you spend apart.

Keep dropping in conversation those sexual related topics. Not ALL the time, or she'll only think you're interested in one thing. Don't joke around whilst talking about sex, or you will sound uncomfortable and therefore relatively immature.

The key here is to be confident. Act like the Alpha Male you want to be. Even if, initially, you don't feel that confidence inside, put on the act and soon it will become second nature. You'll soon be comfortable with how to make a woman jealous.

Buy all the books you want on mystery methods and secrets of attraction, but the only one you really need is The Alpha Male System. So do yourself a favour, get this one first and you w243on't need any more books. Think of all the trees you'll save too!

Money - The Law of Attraction

2008-05-30T22:07:00.001-07:00

Our brains are powerful. We have the ability to create whatever we wish in life. The secret is to focus on the right things. That which we focus on is what we create.

Gratitude to God

Are you grateful for what you have? With whom do you give credit for your life so far? These are key questions for an abundant life. You must be grateful for abundance in order to receive more abundance. If you feel life has cheated you in some way, you will continue to find ways to cheat yourself. A feeling of abundance is key to creating the life you want.

Next, you must give credit to God for granting you what you have in life. This empowers you for one simple reason. If you believe God has granted you abundance in the past, you will much easier believe he will grant you blessings in the future. If there were no higher power, there would be no source of blessings to appeal to. Thus, a higher power belief 5B4in the goodness of God is essential to creating a good life.

Look For Blessings

If God is continually trying to bless you, which he is, then you should notice it. Don't attribute everything in life as a coincidence. Then, start thanking God for all the little things you notice that went right. After a while, you will develop a deep sense of gratitude for all you have in life. This gratitude will allow you to be sensitive enough to God to allow him to bless your life.

Keep a gratitude journal. If you want to really improve, start a journal and write down everything you are thankful for. You will find that you start to feel happy as you write down these good feelings. Over time, you will feel immensely blessed and see the power of God in your life. Your sensitivity to these feeling will allow you to see opportunities that you might otherwise have missed.

Listen

If you live in some parts of the nation, you may have a large jet fly over your home every day or noisy trains drive by daily. After a while, you will learn to ignore these noisy sounds. Interestingly, you can still train yourself to get up to a much quieter sound; an alarm clock.

The key point is that we learn to listen to that which we think is the most important. Is there any doubt that if we listen to God we will better off than ignoring him?

How to Listen

Most billionaires have a common trait. They get up e56Barly in the morning, have a good breakfast, and read. The morning is the quietest time of the day when we are most alert. If we take the time to contemplate in the morning, we can receive inspiration. We should focus on creating an environment that is calming to our senses and gets us in our "zone". It takes a little bit of work, but is well worth it. Some of our best experiences in life will come as a result of this quiet time.

Results

Through gratitude and listening we all have the opportunity to create an abundant life. If money is something you desire, God will bless you as long is it is for a good purpose.

Law of Attraction - Boost Your Frequency

2008-05-30T21:52:00.001-07:00

When working with the Law of Attraction, your energetic "frequency" is all-important! The higher and stronger your frequency, the more positive experiences you will attract into your life - and the more quickly they will arrive!

How can you tell when your frequency is high?

Usually you'll feel light, happy, purposeful, passionate, joyful, excited and peaceful. You know those days when you just seem to be buzzing with good feelings? Those are high frequency days, and on those days you hold IMMENSE creative power!

Perhaps you can remember specific times when your frequency seemed to rise without any conscious effort, like when you received some unexpected good news, ran into an old friend from high school or college - or those rare days when you happen to wake up in a good mood. These are great experiences - but the problem is that they don't include conscious control over your frequency. Is it even possible to raise your frequency on purpose? YES!

Below you'll find a few simple strategies that can quickly and easily get some good vibes flowing!

1) Get active. Brisk exercise is one of the best ways I've found to raise my frequency. Just 15-30 minutes of brisk walking or light weight training is enough to make me feel energetic, inspired and confident. I breathe deeply, work my muscles and release all stagnation that may be hanging around or within me. After the workout, I sit quietly and do an "en5B4ergy session" where I visualize my desire(s) and generate some strong, positive energy to call them into my life. The result? I'm buzzing strongly with good vibes all day long - and attracting amazing experiences because of it.

2) Get passionate. I'm blessed with a career that I'm very passionate about so I'm flowing feelings of excitement and passion all day long! However, if your job doesn't inspire passion or enthusiasm, you may need to make some changes. You could change jobs, obviously, or you could spend more of your free time doing things you really enjoy. When was the last time you did something that really inspired you? Make it a habit to spend time on activities that fulfill your heart and soul - and your frequency will automatically begin to rise!

3) Get positive! Positive thoughts trigger positive feelings, which raise your frequency. Make it a daily habit to seek out information that will help you think and feel more positive. Read inspiring books and web sites, reflect on positive quotations - and avoid negative input as much as possible! Just a few minutes of negative information can drag your energy down like you wouldn't believe. But just a few minutes of positive input can elevate them powerfully! Make it your mission to seek out the positive stuff on a regular basis, and you'll soon find it much easier to create and maintain a high energetic frequency.

The biggest problem5A3 many people have with maintaining a high frequency is that they don't realize it's truly within their control. They find themselves being tossed around by external influences, running the gamut from anger to frustration to resentment to powerlessness.

TAKE CONTROL of your frequency by consciously choosing your focus. Believe me, you'll thank yourself for it later when you're swimming in a sea of joy, abundance, peace and contentment!

Law of Attraction Rewards Persistence and Patience

2008-05-30T21:38:00.001-07:00

You've probably heard the saying, "Persistence pays;" and everyone knows that "Patience is a virtue." But what do these things have to do with the Law of Attraction? Persistence and patience may sound like opposites; but, with the Law of Attraction, they both could lead to exactly the same outcome.

Persistence is the obvious key to success in any endeavor; this theme is illustrated throughout history with axioms such as, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again," "Keep your eyes on the prize," and a new "favorite" of many Americans: "Stay the course." It should be obvious that stopping short of your destination isn't the quickest way to get there.

But sometimes rushing headlong down the path of activity and effort is not the best course, either. "Some things," as they say, "just take time." A chicken egg is ready to open, for instance, when it hatches; and opening a cocoon early will not result in a more beautiful butterfly. By acting too much, too hastily, or without rest, we keep the mind agitated and limit the influx of inspiration, ideas, and guidance that would make our path easier. An agitated mind also creates less-than-perfect performance when you do act.

It is said that God sends you money in the form of ideas; and that, if your ship is5B4 going to come in, it will only do so if the waters are calm. Calming your mind - by learning and cultivating patience and non-attachment - will allow the unimpeded flow of new insight and information. And, a calm mind leads to a calm body; so, any actions you are inspired to take will naturally produce better results than those you force yourself to take.

If you're doing what you love, you are already successful; if you keep doing it, you will become more and more proficient as you become more and more like that you have chosen to become. Gandhi said that, "Man often becomes what he thinks himself to be;" which is exactly why we should follow this other gem of wisdom by the great Hindu sage: "Become the change you seek..." Think about what you want; and be persistent in your thoughts. But take time to rest, relax, and listen to the inspiration and guidance that naturally follows any focused thought.

If you remember the story of "The Little Engine that Could," you may realize that the Little Engine's focus on his desire of reaching the top of the hill - as affirmed by its constant reminders ("I think I can...I know I can...") - created an attractive force that overcame the attractive force of gravity and brought the Little Engine face-to-face with its desire to reach the top.

Verily, I say to you, the Little Engine could; and so can you. If you really want something, keep your mind focused on it and never give-up on yo56Fur dreams; always be persistent with your thoughts and relaxed and patient about the outcome. You can attract anything you want if you don't need it so badly the "not-having" of it causes you anxiety or stress; and, if you are diligent with your affirmative thoughts of positive expectancy, you'll be happy and healthy no matter how long it takes to attract the experience you seek.

How to Use Gratitude and the Law of Attraction

2008-05-30T21:23:00.001-07:00

Gratitude and the Law of Attraction work to create abundance in your life, even when you do not know how this principle works. Knowing how this principle works is to be using the Law of Attraction to actively create a life that is truly prosperous and in harmony with the universe.

The Law of Attraction is not just a metaphysical idea; it is also a theory that has been proven to work. Science has discovered through quantum physics that there is a very real law of nature, bringing back to use what we think about.

We create our lives through our thoughts and feelings being answered. What we send out is returned back to us in kind. This is the science of manifestation at work.

People that live out their lives experiencing poverty and scarcity usually will broadcast these needy expressions in negative ways. Like attracts like, therefore, the universal consciousness that we are all a part of sends back to us more of the same. Just as positive affirmations and states of mind return to us the same. This helps to answer why some of us believe that our glass is half empty, and others experience their glass as half full.

To begin using the Law of Attraction to work for us in positive ways is to take control of our lives and understand how to best use this power we all have within us.

Expressing gratefulness is creating a gratitude Law of Attraction state of mind. To be grateful is to think positive and feel positive. You cannot express true gratitude without feeling emotionally grateful. Being thankful for everything that comes to you is to accept your life the way it is, realizing that everything that has come to you is because you created it. This may not have been your conscious intent, but this is the life you created.

Sometimes gratitude comes in steps. Making a list of things you are thankful for being in your life helps you to create a more positive energy within you. It also helps to begin surrounding yourself with people that are upbeat and positive.

By reflecting positive affirmations of gratitude, you begin to change your inner world to one of lighter, higher vibrational energy that will be broadcasted to the universe. Then the Law of Attraction will answer this by changing your outer world to reflect your inner, positive state of mind.

This may sound corny, or too simple of an idea, but this is the way the universe works. Old thought patterns that we have established over time can be easy to slip back into again. When changing our life in positive ways, staying on course with an attitude of gratitude can seem difficult. In time, this new pattern establishes itself and becomes you.

When you begin making affirmation statements to yourself, you will begin to manifest a life of happiness and abundance by being grateful. Begin telling yourself that you are grateful for having money in your life. This will affirm things that are already present in your life and create more of it. Even if you only have a dollar to your name, expressing gratitude for this money will begin to bring more of the same.

How to Program Your Mind for Success - Part One

2008-05-30T21:09:00.001-07:00

Ask any person around you if they want to be successful and chances are greater than not that they will tell you yes. They may even tell you what they want to be successful at. I am sure that you are not different. Dreams, aspirations and desires fill us all. We all want to have the lives of our dreams, so then what is preventing so many people from having it? Their mindset is what is preventing them from getting what they want out of life.

It is important that right now you understand the power of that organ between your ears. The old adage, "Mind over matter," came about for a reason. A person's mind controls every aspect of their life, from the way their body acts and performs to the way they interact with the world around them and the way that the world interacts with them. Understand right now that your mind controls whether you are successful or not.

Then the key to success attraction is the mind. I am sure by now that you have heard about the Law of Attraction and the power behind it. Many people have used the Law of Attraction to attract success into their lives, and they did this by changing the way that they think. The Law of Attraction advises you to do three simple things:

First you need to be grateful for what you have. No, you may not have everything that you want, but if you are not grateful for the things you do have, you are not appreciat583ing what the Universe has supplied to you so far.

2008-05-30T20:54:00.001-07:00

It is tough, very tough to run a business successfully today.

You're faced with decisions every day that can make or break the business.

You also have obstacles that keep getting in the way of your ultimate success.

Therefore, it's challenging, to say the least, to keep a positive mental attitude when operating your own business, large or small.

It seems that every time you turn around another hurdle stands in the way of smooth sailing.

Payroll, Payroll Taxes, Tax Filing, Unemployment, Hiring & Firing, Employee Evaluation, Slow or No Sales, Regulation, and Customer Complaints.

I could go on but, then you could become too depressed to finish this article.

So, how can you apply The Law of Attraction with your business in mind?

How can you avoid the pain that worry and ultimate failure brings?

Here is an action step you can take to give your business the best chance for growth and success.

You must believe that you WILL be successful. Look up the word believe in the dictionary and completely understand its meaning.

Here is what it DOES NOT mean.

No) Well, I hope we have a good month in sales.

No) I hope we can make payroll this week.

All of which destroy any chance for The Law of Attraction to work in your behalf.

Here is what it DOES mean. If you need $3,000 in sales for the upcoming week, as an example, then;

597

Yes) you must believe that it will happen. Really happen.

Now, here is where The Law of Attraction begins to work.

Once, and I do mean ONCE and NOT before. Once, you truly believe you will make or achieve your goal,

then you will begin to make decisions and take sub-conscious steps that will move you toward your goal.

It will happen without you actually realizing it.

That is how The Law of Attraction works.

Remember, what you continually focus on becomes your own reality.

You must also act as if it has already happened.

So, what is the secret to making The Law of Attraction work for you?

Understand that you will always have difficulties running your business. It is a fact of life, however, your mental attitude dictates how you will meet these challenges.

If you believe that you can meet your goals and overcome any and all challenges then, you will overcome them all and you WILL be successful.

Begin by believing and then follow through with all the steps necessary to make it happen.

The Wrong Way To Use The Law Of Attraction

2008-05-30T20:41:00.001-07:00

There are a lot of ways for the law of attraction to work in your life and you need not be concerned with the details of the various techniques that the experts are teaching you. Whats important is to do what you feel happiest and most comfortable with doing. What may work for thousands of people may not work for you, but thats not to say you should give up on the law of attraction. All you need to do is look for a new direction to take.

The Art of Visualization
All things lead to Rome, and as long as it works for you, dont worry that youre taking an unusual path to visualization. Its harder than most for some people to visualize things from nothing so dont hesitate to employ other means when tackling this step.

Some peo221Dple find it easier to visualize their hopes by doing so while their favorite music is being played. Others need complete silence. Those who work as writers may prefer to visualize by writing about it while others prefer to paint or draw the images on paper.

The Art of Allowing
To see is to believe may be the rightful phrase to follow in other situations, but when it comes to the law of attraction, what youre being asked to do is to believe in something that you cant see or touchyet. Lets say that youre hoping to win the presidential elections next year. For the law of attraction to work, you should act as if your victory is already a done deal and all you have to worry about is what youd wear at the inauguration ball.

The art of allowing is often viewed as the last and most difficult hurdle in your path, but rest assured that its something doable or else no one would have benefited from the law of attraction.

In Christianity, you might hear a pastor advising the members of their congregation to instantly claim whatever it is they want and it will come true. That is one instance where the art of allowing manifests itself. If you want something to happen, you have to completely put your mind and heart in believing that its already happened.

The Art of Focusing
Mind your own business. Never fall for the trap of trying to please everyone because that is impossible and more importantly, it is not something you want to devote your time worrying about. What you should focus on is what you want. If you keep on thinking about the best way of preventing someone from accomplishing a particular goal, focusing that much energy on their wants will actually end up helping rather than hindering them.

Lets say that you want the Chicago Bulls to win against the Los Angeles Lakers and yet the person sitting next to you wants the opposite to happen. If you focus too much on hoping that the person next to you wont get his wish, all youre doing is actually achieving the opposite. When you focus on something, all the law of attraction will care about is the object of your thoughts and something as inconsequential as the word no wont signify. Thats why it is important to focus on entirely positive thoughts. If you want the Chicago Bulls to win, avoid thinking along the lines of please dont let the Los Angeles Lakers to win but focus on the image of the Chicago Bulls scoring the game-winning goal!

The Body Language of Sexual Attraction in Women

2008-05-30T20:26:00.001-07:00

Here is some news for you: Most attractive women are going to know within a matter of mere seconds whether or not you are a sexually aware and sexually confident man, upon seeing you or interacting directly with you. This is the point where they make a purely unconscious decision of whether or not you could ever be a possible sexual partner. Can you imagine that all of this is done within a matter of seconds or minutes? These unconscious decisions tend to be based on voice tone, and the body language of sexual attraction.

Since at this point we know that attraction is not really a choice that we can make, some things can be generalized 5B4as follows -

- If you are unaware of what type of body language communicates that you are sexy or desirable, then you are probably making mistakes completely by accident that could be affecting your chances.

- The words that you say are not really what matters at all. What really matters is how you go about saying them, with a combination of your voice and your body language.

- It is quite possible for you to learn exactly what it will take to communicate that you are both quite sexually aware, and confident in nature, using the tone of your voice and your body language. Learning this skill is going to make the art of attracting beautiful women much easier than before. Unfortunately, not enough people are paying attention to this concept, because too many men out there are caught up in the concept of being macho, and as a result they find themselves wasting away without the ability to attract a beautiful woman.

If you are unaware of what it takes to project the right kind of voice and body language, you are probably doing something wrong. The right moves can give a woman a serious jolt of sexual attraction, but if you are doing anything wrong, you need to change your way of thinking and behaving. Attraction is based so largely on voice and body language, that the only effective way to attract women from the word go is going to be mastering the art of getting her attention and sending a jolt of attraction down her4E0 spine.

Here's an example: If you see a woman that you believe to be attractive, use eye contact longer than her. Do not look away, no matter how self conscious you are feeling. She will notice you looking, and she will appreciate it if you continue looking longer than she does.

Direction Of Your Life

Law Of Attraction And Lag Time

2008-05-30T20:12:00.001-07:00

When you are using the law of attraction (LOA) to manifest things in your life and you're not getting results as quick as you like or at all there could be a lot of reasons for this. Trying to manifest things instantly isn't going to happen. I'm not saying it can't be done, just that I've haven't seen or heard of it being done lately. When trying to manifest things in your life you have to allow for some lag time from the time you put your desire out there until the time you see a result. The universe wasn't formed in a day. Our planet is estimated to be several billion years old by itself.

Since there is "always" going to be some lag time from the time you put out a desire until the time you have it, there are several things you can do to help speed things along.

First is the fact that you are going to have to allow the "Universe" to do its thing on its schedule. Even on "Extreme Home Makeover" it still takes a week to put up a house. There are some things you just can't rush.

Writing your desire down is extremely important. By doing5B1 this you implant in your desire in the part of your brain called the "Reticular Activating System" (RAS). The "RAS" will now be on the lookout for anything that pertains to your desire and will help you notice them. It has been proven that writing something down greatly outperforms just thinking or talking about it.

Another key point is being aware of your emotions. By being aware of your emotions you will have a better sense of how much you're allowing or resisting your connection to your Source. Feeling better allows a better connection to your source than feeling bad does. The art of feeling better is a matter of focus. If you're so focused on the problem it will only make you feel worse. It you're focused on looking for a solution you will feel better and shorten the time it takes to manifest things in your life.

So remember all good things take time. I remember hearing a quote when I was growing up that went like this "Gods delays are not Gods denials". If things aren't happening as quick as you would like them, take a check of your emotions and make sure you are not the problem.

Hope this helps

Mental attitude is the magnet

Making Law Of Attraction Work For You - Moving Out Of Comfort Zones

2008-05-30T19:57:00.001-07:00

The law of Attraction states that we attract to our lives whatever we give our focus and attention to whether wanted or unwanted.

This is a Universal Law and it is consistent and fair. Many people have achieved huge amounts of success using the Law of Attraction. Yet, why are many others living with lack and struggle?

Why is it that people are not putting consistent and committed action in creating a5B4bundance in their lives? Why does the inspiration from reading a book or watching a movie, based on the Law of Attraction wane away so quickly?

One of the reasons is Comfort Zones.

What is a Comfort Zone?

A comfort zone is way of living, thinking and acting that we are familiar with. We are so familiar with the old ways of living, thinking and acting that we are almost afraid of change. We keep doing the same things, thinking the same thoughts and life remains the same. Moving out of comfort zones is important to improve the quality of your life.

A client approached me to help her attract a new job. She was visualizing her new job but was not getting any results. I asked her, if there was any advantage of remaining in the current job what would it be? Her answer was that she was comfortable with people in this place and she had already proved to the current organization that she was a good performer, whereas in the new place she had to go through the long process again! She was so surprised at her own answer.

A lot of times at one level of our minds we want to move forward but at another level we are so afraid to move out of our comfort zones and embrace the new.

For me, when I was working in the software industry, I had a strong urge to work in a field that I am passionate about, which is healing and empowerment. But the comfort of a "safe and regular job" kept me from pursuing my passion. But once 5B4I moved out of my comfort zone I realized that love and passion for work play an important role in being truly happy.

How can you move out of your comfort Zone?

Step 1

Look at the current quality of your life ( Career, Relationships, Health and Wellness) objectively

Now visualize your ideal life. Take some time, this is important

How much is the contrast?

You believe in the Law of Attraction and the Law is consistent and fair. Are you really doing all you can with all you have to transform your life?

Ask yourself what is blocking you from taking action and work on the specific blocks by yourself or with a therapist

If there is no action from your end, there is a strong possibility that the comfort zone you have created is resisting you from moving forward.

Comfort zones could be due to fear of moving forward, fear of doing something new, fear of the unknown, procrastination, low self esteem, past patterns of failure, laziness, fear of failure, lack of motivation, over whelming negative emotions, negative beliefs and more. The good news is Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) can heal all these blocks in an effective and yet gentle manner.

Step 2

Create a Vision board with pictures of the life you want to co-create. When you watch television, the advertisements and programs work on you constantly, why not advertise wellness and abundance toB68 yourself. The Vision Board should be positioned in such a way that you will watch it at least few times a day. This will increase the passion for your new life and will be a constant reminder that this is the life you deserve.

Step 3

Use Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to move out of your comfort zone.

EFT is based on the electrical systems in our body called the meridians. It is an emotional version of acupuncture except that we don't use needles; instead we stimulate the release points by tapping with our fingertips.

Some of the meridian points (also called acupuncture or acupressure points) on the skin have actually been measured with very sensitive instruments and the electrical charge there has been higher than in the other points.

We can think of the meridians like rivers along which the electricity in our body flows. This flow has been called many other names such as, chi, life force, electrical energy or just energy. EFT helps in restoring the energy flow to normal and that helps us feel emotionally and physically healthy.

EFT can help you in moving out of your comfort zones, even with one EFT session people experience a shift in energy and an increase in passion towards goals and abundance. Are you willing to move from being, content to joyful, from your current salary to a wonderful new salary, from survival to abundant living?

All of this is possible if you allow yourself to believe and act in new ways.

It is absolutely essential to desire abundance and change in a passionate manner. When you desire something the Universe will reorient itself to create the reality for you, but passion is the key for this to happen. If you find it difficult to work on your goals in a committed manner take the assistance of a professional where your actions are accountable and your results are measurable.

Do not let your current life situation make you believe that you are weak or that life is a struggle. Life changes when we begin to do things in new ways. EFT and Law of Attraction have blessed my life with abundance and I wish the same for you.

She has used EFT successfully to help people eliminate negative emotions and thought patterns that block the manifestation of goals using the Law of Attraction

Argument From Morality

The Law Of Attraction And Your Thoughts

2008-05-30T19:44:00.001-07:00

The Law of Attraction B68isn't a "thing" that works for some people and not for others; nor is it something that works sometimes, but not at other times. The Law of Attraction is simply a way of explaining, or putting into words, what happens with your thoughts -- and where our physical reality seems to come from, or how it appears to unfold. The Law of Attraction, in other words, is all about your thoughts and what they do; and they were "doing" it long before anyone decided to hang a name on the phenomenon.

All cultures are full of sayings and reminders that it is "the thought that counts," and that "we are formed and molded by our thoughts." Indeed, it is the thoughts we select, or choose to dwell upon, that guide our actions and shape our reality. It isn't a question of whether or not the Law of Attraction is "real," or not; the only question is how well you understand the Law, and what you spend your time thinking about. The Law is real; if you don't understand it, you are at the mercy of your environment instead of being the creator you were born to be.

Your thoughts do two-important things where the Law of Attraction -- or whatever you call it -- is concerned. First, your thoughts determine your mood; and your mood determines how "attractive" you are. In other words, our thoughts make us happy, sad, angry, afraid, and worried, among other things. Our emotions are created as a result of, and in accordance with, our thoughts. Happy thoughts make you feel happy; and, when you feel happy, you are more outgoing and "attractive" to people and situations.

Sad thoughts, on the other hand, depress your energy and make you "un-attractive;" not to mention the fact that they stress you out and negatively impact your health. The better your mood, or the "higher" your Spirits, the more creative and resourceful you are capable of being; and this is all determined by your thoughts and thought processes. So, what are you thinking about, and how is it making you feel inside? Now look around you and think about what you see and how your mood is affecting your perception of it.

Once you've figured out how to think positive thoughts, or happy thoughts, in order to create an attractive mental, emotional, and physical state, you can then use your thoughts to determine or specify what it is you'd like to attract. Thinking about what you want leads to emotions and inspiration which could move you in the direction of the realization of your dream or desire. There seems to be an almost magical property at work, whereby we are drawn together with the object of our thoughts and desire; but, magical or not, thinking is necessary no matter what it is you hope to accomplish.

So, spend some time thinking about thinking -- and thinking about the thoughts you are thinking. Think thoughts that make you happy; and only think about things you wish to do, be, or have. Because, you will always675 get what you want, what you need, or some version of what you are thinking and feeling. Your thoughts are important; as Ernest Holmes said, "Thoughts are things." Choose your thoughts carefully in order to create the ideal emotional conditions for yourself. Then, think about what you want in positive terms and as much detail as you can manage. Spend some time meditating on positive thoughts about what you want; and spend the rest of your time listening to and following your inspirations -- they'll lead you to your dreams. Just think about it.

A Word Of Caution About What The Law Of Attraction Is And How To Use It!

2008-05-30T19:30:00.001-07:00

A short word about practicing the laws of attraction; don't waste your time dreaming of becoming filthy rich, highly successful and powerful, as though the instructions were contained in some get rich quick manual that you only had to follow to the letter to get what you want, without rhyme or reason of why you should be getting these things. Getting filthy rich is highly unlikely anyway and it is not the purpose of the laws of attraction. If you study the concept in earnest, begin to practice it with true conviction, you will come to realize that material wealth is less important when the universe begins to endow you with the real riches it possesses. That isn't to say money cannot be manifested, it can but only in order to achieve a purpose!

USING THE LAW OF ATTRACTION FOR OUR PURPOSE: You know, we are each given a purpose to carry out before we land here on earth and moving away from that purpose will only result in difficulties and disillusionment because we are not creating that which was decided for us (by us). It's like swimming against the tide! Did you ever feel there was something you should be doing, that you were missing out on something in your life? Do you sometimes ponder your existence and wonder what the meaning of YOUR life is? The laws of attraction are set in place to help us on our journey of discovery, it's important to be aware of and in tune with the opportunities around us, to have a clear idea of what it is we want to do and what we want to achieve. After all, you can't buy a train ticket without knowing where you are heading!

OUR PASSION: The laws of attraction will not work the way we want them to until we have figured out what our real passion is. We each need to discover what it is that makes our heart warm, doing something that makes us feel alive, something which feels natural and as though we were made to do this thing. This is our passion! When we find our passion and incorporate it into our life, suddenly the cogs of our universe will begin to turn and advance us because we are truly on the right path. Life will become easier, doors will open and synchronicity will provide the way forward for us. For me, just whilst writing this short article I have received three emails about the Laws of Attraction, the TV is on (I work at home and the kids are home) and have just heard a commercial that voiced the word passion really loudly about seven times!! You see I am doing what I love ' writing, communicating. I'm exploring my passion and the universe - or God - is nudging and winking at me telling me I 5B4am on the right path. Try it out for yourself ' it really does work ;-)

THE WHOLE: Our passion is there to work for the good of the whole and not only for ourselves, that is how the universe manifests and this is our place in it. It may not seem obvious that doing something we are passionate about will benefit the world - but in the long view it does, it isn't a selfish act! That's why we are given our individuality; we are here to work separately as pieces of a jigsaw in order to create the whole picture and our blessings for doing this is real happiness.

APPLYING THE LAW OF ATTRACTION: Doing what truly makes us happy people is how we will attract more happiness into our lives and less trouble, strife and illness. Scientists are already proving that our DNA reacts according to our emotions and thus when feelings of gratitude, love and appreciation are felt our DNA becomes fully switched on including our ability to resist disease. However, When the researchers FELT anger, fear, frustration, or stress, the DNA responded by TIGHTENING UP. It became shorter and SWITCHED OFF many of our DNA codes! The most extraordinary fact about these tests is that the DNA responded in samples taken out of the the body at exactly the same moment and with the exact same reaction as the DNA within the donors body - and the scientists stopped testing after the Donors and the DNA samples were 50 Miles apart!! Now that's got to be food for though166Dt for those scientists, suggesting there has to be an unseen web of energy that connects the physical to the non physical elements of not only our make up, but our world, where distance as we know becomes redundant regarding these connections! The idea that we are intrinsically connected both to our earth and the universe around us has always been the major point of the Laws of Attraction, and it seems even science is at last catching up with this knowledge. The Laws of Attraction may sound simple but actually practicing them is not so easy. The art of focusing ones mind and emotions on positive things, on what we want rather than what we don't want has to be well rehearsed before it can be done without effort. We can all too easily fall back into complaining mode, focusing on the negative around us and therefore attracting more of it into our lives!

TAKING STOCK: So this said; the first thing we need to do is to take stock of our life. This is vital if we are to continue to move forward, even if we think we have it all figured out. Sometimes things change; we start to lose hold of the reigns and slip off course because of the many distractions and events that can preoccupy us. Regular contact with our inner mind is essential to keep in check our aims and ambitions, to tap into our purer thoughts and the unconditional love we should be feeling and giving out. Discarding bad habits and excess baggage that we have collected on the way is good housekeeping and helps us to work WITH the laws of attraction smoothly and without hitches.

Declutter - 5 Tell-Tale Signs I Need To Do It

2008-05-30T19:16:00.001-07:00

If you are anything like me, you tend to have things piling up around you... in your office, your closet, your desktop, your working space, your house, your anywhere and everywhere!

According to The Law of Attraction: you need to get rid of the old (things that don't work, the unnecessary, the negative, the junk) before you can begin to let in the new.

It took me a long, long time to really understand and appreciate the true value of declutter...of getting rid of unnecessary things in my life.

These are the tell-tale signs in my life that it is time I need to declutter:

2) I'm feeling more tired... actually better described as more drained than usual. Yea5B4rs ago I read, that clutter in actually takes away a lot of valuable energy in your life. It took me a long time to work that one out and take the idea on board in my own life! And yes... they are right! Unnecessary clutter is draining.

When an59Fy of these things begin happening... alarm bells ring and I know it is time to declutter -- right now! Not tomorrow... but right now!

I don't have to do everything at once... but I know I have to get myself into gear to declutter.

It's a choice I have to make ... clutter or declutter... I choose to declutter!

Law of Attraction - The Answers Are Within You

2008-05-30T19:02:00.001-07:00

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a friend that could tell you all the answers to all your problems? And wouldn't it be nice to have this friend tell you all the answers to every question you had and even gave you advice that was just right for you? Wouldn't it be nice to know exactly what to do in any situation? What if we told you that you can have the friend in all these questions and you would know exactly what to focus on with the Law of Attraction through this friend?

That friend is you.

Every answer to every question in the world lies within you. You are not the physical being you think you are. You are a part of a consciousness that has all the answers. You can access all those answers with a little patience and focus.

To find your answers it takes some quiet time to yourself and trust in yourself and the Universe. First you want to sit by yourself and think of the questions that you would like answers to whether that be a question in general or a specific question that pertains to you.

Get comfortable and clear your mind. If your mind begins to wander gently bring it back to the nothing. Close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing. Listen to your breath and see your inner core being shining through your own physical self. Put your question out to your core being, this can be to yourself o5B4r out loud. Continue to sit quietly and just listen. You may hear something immediately or it may take a few times to hear the core being whisper to you. You don't always get an answer when you are sitting by yourself. You may get your answer hours later in the car. Or you may get an answer from the radio. Be aware of what is around you so that if there are an answer in an unconventional way you, will see it. Always thank the Universe which is a part of your core being as well. The Universe has some very unique ways of imparting the knowledge that you would like to know so be on your toes.

When you ask for an answer, the answer is already there. It just has to take a physical form and that is where the Universe brings what you are asking to you through the Law of Attraction.

For example: Lee was looking for a particular kind of brown manila envelope for a project. We had gone on a 'bean hunt' for these elusive envelopes. When he got home he went into his study for the evening. When he came out I asked him if he had an answer. "Not yet." And we went to bed.

The next day when we were in the office one of our coworkers told us about a new Mom and Pop office supply that had just opened. "They have great stuff," she said to Lee knowing how much he loves office supplies.

Lee got his answer. He went to the local office supply and his envelopes were there. He asked, didn't push, and was aware. His a586nswer came quickly. You just want to look for the signs and take action.

The answers are within you and they always have been. Let the Law of Attraction lead you to your answers via the Universe.

Working Harder is Not the Way to Get Rich - Here's What Works!

2008-05-30T18:48:00.001-07:00

In some ways I'm very lucky. I was born in a very poor and rural part of the country, surrounded by hard-working and decent people, most of whom were "dirt poor." Now, I say I'm lucky because this experience taught me an important lesson very early in life:

Hard work will NEVER make you rich.

I grew up among some of the hardest working people you can imagine. They were up every morning before sunrise and many worked 12, 14, even 16 hour days (!) of grueling hard labor in the pulpwood mills, farmlands and forests of South Georgia. But regardless of how hard they worked, most of them were barely able to pay the bills at the end of the month. They were living to "just get by."

As a boy, I also went to work in the tobacco fields and forests, cropping and hanging tobacco, "dipping" tar, clearing fields, etc. It was hard, sweat-soaked work, in harsh conditions and very poorly paid. It became clear to me very early on that poor people were not poor because they didn't work hard enough -- they were poor because they lacked imagination.

And no matter where you live in the world, you can probably recognize this same truth: poverty is seldom the result of laziness; it is most often caused by lack of vision, an inability to "see" a better life for ourselves. This lack of creative thinking causes us to make poor decisions and to settle for less than we deserve. But the great tragedy of all this is that it is completely unnecessary.

The way to get rich is not by working harder, putting in more hours, or becoming a more ruthless competitor in your industry; any time you find yourself "struggling" in these ways, you can be absolutely certain that you are on the wrong path. These behaviors represent a lack-based mindset, and they do not attract wealth into your life.

Living a rich and abundant life requires imagination and creative thinking. Now don't misunderstand me; I don't mean you have to be a Mozart or a Van Gogh in order to get rich -- not at all. But you DO have to exercise and develop your creative imagination, and learn to "see" beyond the apparent limitations of your current situation.

For example, if you have very little money in your bank account right now, the way to get rich is not to spend all your time and energy focusing on how little you have; but instead, use your creative imagination to visualize possibilities and opportunities to create success and wealth.

I realize that this is not always easy when you first begin trying to do it. After all, it is much easier to visualize money and opportunities when you are living in a luxury home, with a fat bank account.

But here's the real trick: the way to get rich is to exercise your creative power on a daily basis, and learn to see prosperity and opportunity... even when it is not obvious. This requires you to exercise and strengthen your imagination. You do this in the exact same way you improve your memory, vocabulary, or any other learned skill: by prac7BBticing every day.

Imagination is like a muscle; the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets. But while many people will go to the gym three or four times a week, very few individuals will actually set aside time to exercise their creative power and imagination. Perhaps this explains why there are not more rich people in the world?

Our ability to think creatively and to visualize new possibilities and opportunities is critical to living a successful, wealthy life. The poor, hard-working people I grew up with in South Georgia got plenty of physical exercise, but they didn't devote a lot of time to mental exercise, to practicing creativity. Just a coincidence? It's certainly something to think about...

So what about you? Are you neglecting your imagination? Remember, the way to get rich is NOT by working harder, faster or longer hours; it is by strengthening and developing your creative imagination. Creating wealth requires vision, and our power to visualize improves with use and withers when neglected. In other words: we either use it or lose it!

Attraction - Pressure Point for Changing a Life

2008-05-30T18:34:00.001-07:00

Life, the way most people are living it now, is work. Very hard work. In many countries today, life is a boring and meaningless routine, where people spend large blocks of their time doing tasks that are personally meaningless, in exchange for a day's supply of bread and a roof over their family. Most of the world lives like this.

In some parts of the globe, life can be much more hazardous... a constant struggle for survival right at the edge. Vast numbers of people slip over that edge daily, dying in the streets, or wasting away in prisons under brutal regimes, or being sold into slavery to be used at someone else's pleasure.

But whether we recognize it or not, everything that falls within the human realm eventually comes down to the choices we make. We can choose this experience or that one. This tragedy or that triumph. This love or that hate.

Most of the time, however, we drift on the currents of life, passively deferring to whatever life brings us because we have no other choice. How many times have you heard comments like:

* Well, that's life...

* Hey, what can you do...

* Wouldn't you know, that's just my luck...

* There was nothing I could do...

And a host of others that echo the same sentiment -- that life is in control and we are not.

If you've read this far, you know that I don't accept the viewpoint of helplessness. In my reality, there's always something we can do to reshape the events and circumstances around us. This is actually true in everyone's reality, b5B0ut most have not yet awakened to the power that rests within them.

So instead of commanding life and shaping it to their will, they let life carry them this way and that, submissively accepting whatever they're handed. This is the mindset of a slave.

Now, don't misunderstand me. Slaves are not blank slates. They may deeply resent their treatment; they may dream of freedom; and they may wish for better things. But if they never take that leap within -- that deep shift of metanoia at their core, which alters the essence of their being -- they remain only slaves.

And there they stay, until something changes.

Power Of Intention

Attract Your Desires By Visualizing Them

2008-05-30T18:20:00.001-07:00

Visualization, meditation, prayer, hypnosis, self-hypnosis, guided meditation, mental imagery, and many other terms, are all used to describe one thing - thinking. Particularly, these terms all refer to an act of "tuning-out" the external world and going inside your self in order to "speak" and "listen" to God, or whatever each individual believes is available in the way of Creative guidance. We ask for help, listen for answers, seek guidance, salvation, and instant riches, but in most cases we do so with no real "vision," or plan, for the future. In life, we tend to follow natural laws; this is because we are in nature, and made of the same stuff as nature, and are thereby subject to the laws of nature. If we continue to ignore the fact that we pray, or do any of the above practices, because there is some belief that our thoughts influence our reality, then we may forever lose the power of prayer.

If you consider that the world around you is continuously being created, then you understand that creation is a full-time thing. If you also hold a belief that you can think a message to God and it will be acted on and create, or change, an outcome in the real world, then what, or who, is creating your reality when you aren't asking for those good things you pray for? The fact is, our thoughts are all prayers, and our days look very similar to one another because we spend most5B4 of our time unconsciously thinking about how things are instead of creating them in our thoughts the way we would like to experience them in our reality - or praying always. Emerson wrote, "Though your knees were never bent, to heaven your hourly prayers are sent; and whether formed for good or ill, are registered and answered still." The idea is that if you close your eyes and think about what you want with folded hands, you are still merely thinking into the mind of God, or of the Creative force behind all that exists.

Make a list of the things you want to bring into your experience - the things you would pray for. Write this down and be as specific as possible; include descriptive terms which engage all of the senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch). For example, if you would like a piece of 5-layer, German-chocolate, cake with a candle in it, then don't simply ask for "something to eat." Write a story about how you would like things to be; include as much sensory detail as possible, and then read this story to yourself before you go to sleep, and just as you wake-up in the morning. Read it silently, and only look at the words long enough to get the idea of what comes next. Then close your eyes and live the prayer in your mind - see it, hear it, taste it, smell it, feel it. Don't fall into the habit of simply reading the story; but continue to use your subtle senses to feel this story, and contemplate what it means, and h723ow it feels, to you.

Before long, you will not need to read the story, but it helps to keep your focus for a while - it serves as a good reminder to be thorough and specific, as well as mindful. The prayers which work are those which are thought and felt, rather than simply recited from memory. Memorizing your dreams and prayers, however, is a good thing and quite different from simply memorizing the lines of a verse or prayer. Memorizing your desires - with all of your senses - is the quickest way to bring them completely to fruition. Dwelling on these things, and filling your mind with only good, will quickly lead you to this new reality; you need only learn to listen and follow your inspired guidance.
