Wisdom Wednesday #11: A Different Look Into Money and The Law of Attraction
I was intrigued by this video which I found on YouTube. Sometimes you just need a video instead of a book to get to your other senses. This video was recorded at a seminar. It's great to see the enthusiasm and audience participation.I believe this video is great for those who want to get into business for themselves and feel the "guilt" of charging money because they feel they aren't "good enough". I can relate to that thought process, especially when I first started selling online.
It's a bit over an hour long. I suggest you make the time to watch this with all of your attention available.

Wisdom Wednesday #10: How Meditating Is Beneficial In This State of Mind
Who would've thought that some of your turn of the century literature would STILL have some relevance to today's new age process. Sometimes you have to go back to the basics to benefit from the most current teachings.
I found this book at my local library. I also see that it's still being sold on Amazon, for those who want to purchase a copy for their own collection. It was published in 1995. For some, that's old news. For others, I would like to think, you can't understand the new stuff without reading up on the past.
So here's my take on the book.

For some, that's old news. For others, I would like to think, you can't understand the new stuff without reading up on the past.
So here's my take on the book.
The Speed Technique To Alpha Meditation and Visualization
Phew, say that 10 times! This book is a quick read, approximately 140, give or take some extra info by the publishers. I say it's a quick read because I've seen many books 2-3 as extensive on the same subject. The author Harold Kampf, shares his technique with readers in simplistic terms. Maybe it's due to the ease of the steps themselves. I find it almost too easy.
He shares two techniques, the original and the "new and improved" technique. I prefer to learn both, just to get a feel for both and see which one would benefit me the most. Since everyone experiences things differently, the original technique might suit you better.
Original Technique
This technique reminds me of you typical induction to hypnosis. You visualize yourself going "down" and into your chosen "serence scene". Nothing particularly new. He refers to this as the "Whole-person Deep Level Technique".
Simple as 1-2-3 or A-B-C
His newest version bypasses the visualization part of going "down". Instead it focuses on the physiology of getting you into alpha. At the end, you will end up in your "serene scene". From the author's perspective, it should get you into alpha state in less than 15 seconds.
So, Which is Better?
I'm a speedy type of person. I'm a busy mom of two boys, sometimes I think it should call for speedy techniques. That's if I'm pressed for time. So for the sake of my home setting, I'd choose the A-B-C Technique. BUT, I think one could definitely benefit from the original technique because it trains you for other wonderful self-help tools, like self-hypnosis. Visualization is key. If you skip out on visualization in the pre part of meditation, you could be short handing yourself into the rest of it. With practice as with any new habit, it gets easier.
The Rest of the Book
The rest of the book has life examples and shows you how to utilize these techniques to accomplish your goals. I like how it can be used in various ways from overall relaxation to healing your physical ailments. I'm for any extra ammo that can get rid of a headache. Or at least lessen the pain.
One for the Spiritual Toolbox
I for one, have officially added these techniques to my spiritual toolbox. It's useful for kicking things up a notch or changing out the same old routine of meditation. I'm definitely adding this to my hard copy library.

Fruition Friday #9: How-to Get In Touch With Your Subconscious With This Tool
The subconscious is the key to solving most deep rooted problems. Your conscious gets stubborn and does what it wants, but eventually your subconscious will take you right back to what was planned from the start.
Can we trust what we openly feel or say? Not necessarily. Most of us are trained by our parents, teachers, and society how to think, feel and act. We tend to think that everybody else knows what's good for us. Yet, it really is ourselves that know better than that. If only we could tap into ourselves, our most inner desires to reach our real potential.
Science fiction? I'd say not. Our tool, the pendulum. Yes, the simple tool that you see in the movies that get people to do crazy stage stunts that they would otherwise do. But it's not like that at all. We cannot take over someone else's thoughts to control them without their consent. It's movie glitz taken overboard. Our minds believe only what it wants to believe, therefore if we make ourselves hypnotizable to do unheard of feats, it's only because we want to do and blame it on some kind of magic.
Using a pendulum is serious business. You can't expect it to fortell something your unconscious doesn't know. It's not magic or mystical. Your subconscious moves the pendulum to communicate with the conscious part of you. Granted there are those who believe they can get in touch with their angels or entities. But I'm not writing to talk about that subject. I'll leave that to those who use this tool for that purpose. My purpose is to reach the subconscious, at least for now.
I would write all your questions on a paper first. Since it's your first session, it gets nerve wrecking when you can't recall what to ask the pendulum. Basically, you'll go through each question and swing the pendulum, watching for the answer. You have to remember to ask yes or no type of questions. Be patient. Don't think of what you want the answer to be. If you do, you will tend to control the pendulum to a faulty answer. Trust that you will get the answer and think of the question on hand, not the answer. Record the answer.
When you're done, take care to notice the answers. Have gratitude for the communication your subconscious made with you. You can ask interrelated questions to help clarify the initial question if it helps. Make sure it's specific because general questions confuse the subconscious.

But I'm not writing to talk about that subject. I'll leave that to those who use this tool for that purpose. My purpose is to reach the subconscious, at least for now.
Choose Your Pendulum
You can use anything as your pendulum. From your favorite piece of jewelry attached to a string to a crystal quartz from a metaphysical store. For practice, I'd say use whatever you have on hand. Eventually buy or make something personal for you because it's a tool you will use and build a relationship with your subconscious. Make it personal, let your subconscious know you mean business and you respect the answers you receive from it.
I bought myself a clear quartz pendulum. I chose the one that vibed with me. I usually choose my crystals by holding each one, letting it communicate with my subconscious and sending it's vibrations through my hands and body. Some have vibrated on the hand I was holding it in or I had a sudden wave of heat go through my body. It was different with every quartz I encountered.
Getting Your Pendulum Ready
Once you found your pendulum, you need to program it to your subconscious. You must find out how your subconscious communicated a "yes" answer and a "no" answer. Follow these steps:
- Swing your pendulum back and forth, to give it a kickstart motion.
- Think of something you know is true. An example is "Am I wearing shoes right now?" You should know the answer is true because you either are wearing shoes at that moment or not. Although I wouldn't want to confuse your answer by purposely wearing one shoe on one foot and not wearing one on the other.
- Watch carefully how the pendulum swings. Notice if it swing clockwise or counterclockwise or up/down or left/right. This will be your answer for "yes".
- It's best to record the answer on a paper that you will swing your pendulum over. I forget which answer was what.
- Do the steps 1-4 again for your "no" answer.
Your First Session
When you're done, take care to notice the answers. Have gratitude for the communication your subconscious made with you. You can ask interrelated questions to help clarify the initial question if it helps. Make sure it's specific because general questions confuse the subconscious.
What Was Your Experience?
How did your first session go? Did you already have several sessions and want to share a couple of tips to enhance your pendulum experience? Please comment below.

Wisdom Wednesday #9: YOU Are The Center of The Universe
I was intrigued by an email I received from a newsletter I subscribed to a while back. It was referring to a video produced in 1977 called, "Powers of Ten". It's shy of 10 minutes long, but it is profound in the sense that one can visually see the chaos to the vast nothingness patterned both inward and outward.
Taken directly from the description the following YouTube video it is connected to:
"Powers of Ten takes us on an adventure in magnitudes. Starting at a picnic by the lakeside in Chicago, this famous film transports us to the outer edges of the universe. Every ten seconds we view the starting point from ten times farther out until our own galaxy is visible only a s a speck of light among many others. Returning to Earth with breathtaking speed, we move inward- into the hand of the sleeping picnicker- with ten times more magnification every ten seconds. Our journey ends inside a proton of a carbon atom within a DNA molecule in a white blood cell. POWERS OF TEN © 1977 EAMES OFFICE LLC (Available at www.eamesoffice.com)"
This short film shows how each person is potentially their own universe. If you can see that you ARE the center of YOUR universe, you can manifest whatever you want. God or Source is within you.

Manifestation Monday #9: It's All in the Timing!
If you notice things, more will come!
Nope, I'm not kidding. But it goes both ways. You think all negatory things, more negative events happen. I just thought I'd throw in "negatory", from a movie I watched so long ago.
And vice versa. Or positive thoughts = positive events.
Some call it karma.
I like to phrase timing with the words, "it just so happens..." because every event I've attracted "just so happens" to attract the perfect situation.
Example, my car goes out needing repairs and "it just so happens" that my mother in law buys a brand spanking new Kia Soul. She lives down the street from me and so Universe provides! We're a close nit family, we share cars, homes, childcare, and so on. So when my car goes on hiatus, another one is provided. How's that for timing? I laughed a little inside because THAT was pure proof timing was just so perfect. Ha!
It happens for me with money matters as well. So I worry less with every "proof" Universe provides. It's almost like a game.
I've had bad days, but that's when I attract just the right people to get me out of my rut. It's like a hotline on lightning mode.
My unconscious picks up on books, websites, and numerous sources of information and people into my life that "just so happen" to be what I'm looking for. You just have to NOTICE it and ACKNOWLEDGE it.
I will verbally acknowledge these situations to give my unconscious feedback to bring me more. It's a continuous communication between conscious and unconscious throughout the day.
"Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation." - Brian Tracy
"If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of." - Bruce Lee
"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite." - Nelson Mandela
"Have patience with all things. But, first of all with yourself." - Saint Francis de Sales
"There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up." - John Holmes

Fruition Friday #8: How to - Increase Hope Using These 10 Principles
Within the principles, I've added a little take on what she said as well.
10 Principles For Increasing Hope
1. Overcome my regrets - When you dwell on the past you get more of it. Put your "I AM" -ness (I don't know how to add the -ness to a phrase, sorry guys) in front of you. For example, "I AM moving toward my car business which will gross me an extra $100,000 a year." "I AM" is in the now, a state of being in the present. As you speak you begin to believe it. No more should've or would've. It stems from shame. Shame is an unhealthy cycle. It also creates a learned helplessness. A "Poor me" syndrome.
2. Acknowledge you may need help - Sometimes you may need to admit you need outside help. If you cannot overcome regrets, bouts of anger or any overwhelming negative feelings, seek professional help. We might not be in the position to fix things ourselves and that's okay too.
I went through a bout of depression, I had to seek help. The perspective helped when I couldn't get over the guilt and sadness over my own loss. I realized I wasn't alone in my feelings and that I was normal to be in my state of being.
Don't go through intense emotions if you feel it's out of control. There are various resources in your local cities and hotlines to help you get through the tough times.
3. Don't allow your current roadblocks to holt your journey - In other words, don't let your current state hold yourself back from your purpose. You will have setbacks. You cannot allow it to block you from your desires.
4. Believe in a better tomorrow - Get it by "faith". Read something motivational and inspirational, like the Bible. Reading is better than listening. 10-15 min a day.
You can also read other inspirational books, not necessarily the Bible. If you're not christian, read from what ever religion you practice. If you don't practice a specific religion, there are many spiritual based books that don't touch on it.
5. Pain transforms - If someone leaves your life, God has something better or they aren't meant for your destiny. Acknowledge that and learn from the pain. You want transformation which happens from the inside. For example, with weight loss, you must transform from inside. That is to learn to love yourself, forgive those who have hurt you or overcome guilt.
In the subject of weight loss, I'd like to recommend a book I've recently finished which touches on these principles called "A Course In Weight Loss" by Marianne Williamson. She recognizes that it's the inward battle that must be fought not the diet in order to lose weight. I think it touches well beyond weight loss and emphasis how it interrelates with other events in our own lives. Even if weight loss is NOT the goal, it's worth the spiritual principles laid within the book.
6. Create small daily rituals or principles which will give you glimmers of hope - Take baby steps toward your bigger goals. Work a little bit at a time so it doesn't feel overwhelming. With every obstacle you overcome, it continues to motivate you toward your desires.
7. Focus on gratitude - Have gratitude...even if it's small. Focus will shift and change...you will get more of it.
8. You've got the power - Realize that you can bring about change in your life. You have the power to change how you think and how you feel about things that happen to you. LOA principle also states that what you feel and your thoughts affect future events. Not vice versa. How's that for power?
9. Get rid of hope killers - Get rid of "self medicating" like drinking, overeating, too much internet and so on. It dampers on the positive you would otherwise see.
10. Factor God or Spirit in your life - By factoring something bigger than you, such as God or Spirit, you create hope that something greater than you can uplift your current state in life. You are not alone in this vast universe and that something put purpose into you. A reference made my Cosntance taken from the Bible Psalm 3:3, "But you are a shield around me, O LORD; you bestow glory on me and lift my head.

Wisdom Wednesday #8: "I AM"
A Video For Your Enjoyment
Today's video is quite a long one. It's about an hour, so you might want to save this one for a time you have no distractions or can at least watch it in big chunks.YouTube Channel Worth Subscribing To
The uploader of this video has a great channel related to the Law of Attraction. Their channel is called YouAreCreators, look them up via YouTube and subscribe. I'm subscribed to their channel as well but have NO AFFILIATION to them. I just enjoy their topics which I will continue to share here on this blog.
Webradio - LOA Radio Network
And speaking of non affiliated channels, I've come across a webradio show I'm sure many will enjoy. Sometimes a person is visual, sometimes a person is auditory or tactile and so forth. There are times I want to just rest my eyes and listen to something instead or multitask. The following is a direct link to their channel:

Manifestation Monday #8: "Let It Go"
As I'm typing this, the song from Disney's "Frozen" is playing in my head. I think that the song resonates with me. It reminds me of the biggest step in LOA. After you ask for what you want, you "let it go". It's one of the hardest concepts for me to learn thus far. But after practicing it, I recognize it as "forgetting" rather than letting go.
If you have a hard time letting go of things, whether it's material, relationship or habits, it's time to reevaluate why and consider a different approach.
A good portion of letting go is entrusting control outside of yourself. I'm guilty of that; I'm a parent of two youngsters myself. I have to lead my household and yet I must learn to let go to gain new habits or allow LOA to happen in my favor. It's a constant tug and pull.
Notebook: Personally, I keep a list in a small notebook which list all possible things I could do within my immediate reach. This way, I don't have to sit and think so much, taking me out of the positive state of mind. It gets easier, not to say you won't have a day or so where things just seems to go the opposite direction.
Gratitude Journal: You could keep a gratitude journal and write in it everyday. Then, when you hit a rut in your thoughts, you have a form of "proof" to keep you elevated.
Meditation: Going back to the number one reliever to all emotional ailments, use meditation. It's worth a skill to build on. See my other posts for more details.
When I "forget" about my desires, I have unconsciously worked toward my goals without noticing it. It's similar to the idea that when you buy a new car, you start to see it everywhere. I create the desire for something, suddenly opportunities seem to appear out of nowhere. Then it starts the snowball effect because I acknowledged it, causing more of the same events. All without force or effort.
These are just tools to help. If you have a "tool" to share, please comment in the area below.

So What Has Worked For Me?
Keeping busy. I mean busy so I don't focus on the desire. A good thing to do that has worked for many people, is to try to stay in a positive state of mind for as long as possible. You could play with your family pet, watch a funny movie, play with your kids, and so on.Notebook: Personally, I keep a list in a small notebook which list all possible things I could do within my immediate reach.

How Does This Manifest Anything If You Let It Go?
When you let go of a desire, you entrust to the universe that it will come to you in due time. You let go of the idea that you are lacking in what you want. It's NOT stating that you don't want it. You only have to ask once and it sets forth energy needed to manifest it.When I "forget" about my desires, I have unconsciously worked toward my goals without noticing it.

Fruition Friday #7: How To - Reset Your Brain Every Morning
Simple Exercise To Brighten Up Your Day
Your thoughts upon waking up can "make or break" the rest of your day. You can wake up happy and the rest of your day seems to be going your way. Or you can wake up miserable and may feel like you're down on your luck.We know that ultimately your emotions are the cause of events and not the other way around. We must reset ourselves every morning to ensure we use our emotions to our advantage. Even before we get out of bed or write in our daily agendas we must regress all thoughts for at least 15 minutes a day.
It's purely simple. The only tool you would need is a timer.
So what is it?
It's called meditation.
I know some people might think that meditation is useless or that it may be impossible for them to endure. Just like any other habit it must be practiced with diligence. Trust me, it will actually get easier with time.
So you say you can concentrate, at least not yet? From my own experience, I started out with a couple of tools:
- Prayer beads
- relaxation apps for my Android smartphone via Google Play Store
Prayer Beads
You can either buy the used premade or make your own. You might want to Google more on the subject finds local stores that may have prayer beads readily available. I was actually gifted one by my brother while we were window-shopping the mall one day.
Relaxation Apps
I interchange between two specific apps I have found out the Google Play Store.Relax Time
The first one is called Relax Time. I like it for its simplicity and its capability for tracking your sleep cycle. Within the sleep cycle tracker it has a hidden timer which I double as a meditation timer.
The second app I use just as much as the first is called Relax Melodies. Again it is a simple app to use with many varieties of sounds and a wonderful timer which again doubles as a meditation timer. You can upgrade the app to include more features but it's not necessary for timer usage.
I will eventually put up a video to explain the meditation process in more detail in a later post.
Relax Melodies
This Is What I Do
When I wake up every morning, I'll grab my prayer beads and select a relax timer. I'll sit up in my bed in the most upright position and use the prayer beads as guidance throughout my meditation while using one word mantras. It helps me focus on my purpose for those 15 minutes.I will eventually put up a video to explain the meditation process in more detail in a later post.

Wisdom Wednesday #7: Can Religion and Law of Attraction Be Interrelated?
Today I wanted to share the book I'm currently reading called The Law of Divine Compensation by Marianne Williamson. This book delves into the laws of attraction relating to money and miracles.
The commonality that this book has with LOA related laws are the belief that our own thoughts and emotions effect situations and events around us. There are several quotes and prayers to God that are interesting enough that I have quoted them myself on this blog as well. Again if you can see beyond the references to God you can relate to them in an LOA fashion.
A good quote I found was:
"By aligning yourself with thoughts of infinite love for yourself and others, you gain dominion over the lower thought forms of the world."
This is a good example of interchangeable thought between God and LOA; that by aligning thoughts of emotion controls Earthbound events around us.
Religion Vs. Law of Attraction?
Although I am still at the beginning of the book itself, there are many LOA related quotes. It may seem difficult at times to read because there are numerous references to God. I truly believe you can use the it interchangeably with your own spiritual or religious preferences.The commonality that this book has with LOA related laws are the belief that our own thoughts and emotions effect situations and events around us.

Negative Emotions Transformed
This book can serve as a workbook to help release negative emotions therefore creating more opportunities for LOA related events. It also bridges religion and LOA for those who have a hard time separating the two. I am myself, and Catholic and yet I believe strongly in the laws of attraction.To Be Reviewed in the Future
I plan on getting into great detail chapter by chapter, for of those who would like to follow me. There are no websites that are helpful in putting this book into action. I would like to share my own take on the exercises made throughout it.Share Your Quotes
Can you share a quote that is both LOA and God related? Please provide your quotes and your own interpretation of it to share with other readers.

Manifestation Monday #7: Money Lessons at the Casino
Temporary Absence
Today is Manifestation Monday. I have not been on this blog for a while, but hopefully my co-author has been entertaining you with wonderful stories about his own experiences as well as memorable quotes to help you get through the week.
A Streak of Luck?
Since its Manifestation Monday, I'm here to share with you my own experience from last week. It may be a small experience for some but it was a reconfirming experience that I can attract money in my life. I went to the casino a little over a week and a half ago and by chance I was invited with no strings attached. My own secret agenda was to see how far I can attract money into my life with the simplicity of having fun. So without telling anybody, I decided to take this experience with great ease. I'm usually a person who feels a bit unlucky in the area of gambling but since I was invited with no money to lose, I decided to turn my thought process around.
From the beginning of the bus ride to a casino I've never been to before, I remain enthusiastic and excited. I imagined what it would be like to win a small amount of money that I could take home to my family. I did not want to psych myself out of it by imagining something bigger than I could imagine taking home, at least not yet. I was dazzled by the many different machines and the curiosity of the floor plan. I physically explored others playing and winning and felt genuine joy for the winners. At the same time I thought "Wouldn't it to it be nice to win something tonight?" Then I dismissed the thought as well.
I made it a point to have fun no matter whether I won or lost and to remain in the joyous state for as long as possible. A friend and I explored the area for a little while before deciding to sit at a machine that piqued our interest. It so happened to be a machine related to my favorite machine that was taken away about a year ago. I was overjoyed to find a similar machine and followed my instinct to play one of these machines. Something kept pulling me to a machine that another person was (same machines), so I stayed on a machine next to this other person while waiting for them to finish playing. It didn't take too long for them to finish because it just so happen they received a call and was urged to leave.
Money Results
It's a good thing they left because I ended up staying on the same machine for the rest of the evening. I had played only with the money that the casino gave plus $10 that my friend loaned me. The end results of my evening added up to $105. $20 I gave back to my brother-in-law for covering my ride to the casino and $15 back to my friend for loaning me the money. My take-home was $80 of which I gave $20 to my mother-in-law, $20 to my oldest son, $20 to my youngest son and lastly $20 for myself. I don't know what came over me that I had the urge to spread the wealth and I guess it came from the feeling that I was "already wealthy".
Lesson Learned - Perfect Timing
I believe there was a lesson learned because I sat next to a person on that bus ride who explained that with gambling you have to expect you are there to enjoy your time and not to think about it as a winning or losing game. It was in that conversation I had an "aha" moment which caused a transformation in my thought process for the rest of the evening.
Shortly after the successful trip, I was able to receive bits of money here and there throughout the rest of the week, all without expecting or asking anybody for it. With every bit of money I received, it snowballed my thoughts into thinking that I didn't have to worry about money anymore because it would find it's way into my hands naturally and in perfect timing.

Manifestation Monday #6: The Gift
Manifesting a Wonderful Gift :)
It was April 5th, a beautiful Saturday filled with fun and joyful experiences. I could say I have learn a lot with the hours that pass me by at the Powwow. I was enjoying myself at the 2nd annual "Honoring the Elements" Powwow that was held at the Pomona Colleges in the city of Claremont. I came in support of my new and established relationship, however I also went because I have always been interested in the learning of new cultural arts. It was an amazing experience for me; I got to learn new stuff about the Native American culture. I love their concepts of how there's a oneness aspect to nature, animals, and the energy which surrounds us; for this reason, the Native American populus value and honor life and the living as well as the dead. The Native American culture resonates with a lot of what I believe in as far as the reality of how the Universe works out. I learn from my experiences at the powwow that Native Americans love to give back to the community and that the gifts they give always hold a deeper meaning to the giver of the gifts. Not only did I have a wonderful time at the Powwow, but I think I manifested something even greater that I myself have not yet realized was in my Vortex. I have been given or more accurately said, I have attracted into my life a good friend. His name is "Hamid" which in persian culture translates to, "Gift". I was given the gift of friendship and an Obsidian arrowhead necklace, something I have always been wanting for years now. I love the syncronicty of the turn of events that led up to this wonderful gift. It's funny how I met somebody named "gift" and this person offers to buy me what I always have been wanting for a pretty long time. He literally says to me, "Ohhh don't worry about it, you don't owe me anything. Just look at it like it's a gift. I live up to my values and to my name. Here you go!" It's amazing what the Universe brings when you expect good things in your life. Source or that which is GREATER than ourselves is always beaming this light and love of wellbeing, it's up to us weather we allow ourselves the fullness of that which we are entitled or hold ourselves apart from that. It's wonderful knowing that we have such control over our life and experiences.

Fruition Friday #5: How to - Conquer Your Fears
Why am I writing this post?
I am sure many of you readers have dealt with this ugly thing we call fear, but let me tell you that this fear is only a figment of our own imagination. It isn't real, it all comes from our selves from past personal experiences, social pressures, or even low self-esteem. We are the writers of our own book, the painters of our own paintings, or another way of saying it, the captain of our own ship. We create our destiny by the virtue of our thoughts. We create our reality through the law of attraction. I am writing this post to help those dealing with fear so that they maybe able to live and bask in life's opportunities. We all deserve the freedom to be all of who we really are; love, abundance, wellbeing, and everything good.
Things you'll Need!
- Notebook
- Pencil or Pen
- Your thoughs
Directions:
- Fear begins and ends with your mind because it is an emotion we create, therefore it all starts with your thoughts about fear.
- Begin by writing in a notebook all of the thoughts you have about your fears. What do you fear? Why do you fear it? When we can admit and identify our fears, we have a place to start from.
- After identifying what and why we fear what we fear, start writing contrasting thoughts. When we know what we don't want we know clearly know what we want. These clarifying moments of self doubt and fear are experiences to help us expand and desire more.
- Write what we want and why we want it. Get into the feeling place of that with which we want. We conquer our fears by aligning to our desires and our fears will fall out by lack of air time to the fear.

Wisdom Wednesday #5: Rewire your Brain. MUST watch!
Rewire your Brain Review! Must see.
The beauty of living in a reality filled with opportunities and choices is that there's something for everyone, there's variety. For those of you who are trying to learn more about LOA and how the whole Universe works as a whole, but are having trouble learning through a text book, or anybody who is more logic oriented and are those types that need the facts before accepting what is before us and just can't seem to accept the esoteric meaning behind the words offered by spiritual teachers like Abraham Hicks or Bashar. Well there's finely a solution! This video explains LOA and the Universe at large by the use of examples and statistics through something that can be proven. It's all explained through a science we like to call Quantum Physics. Definitely something I would recommend for people interested in LOA and the sorts, but would like to see a different approach that explains these concepts in a different light.

Manifestation Monday #5: An Employer and An Opportunity
LOA, An Employer, and An Opportunity
On our previous Manifestation Monday, I had mentioned a personal experience with a regular customer, named Michael and a chance encounter at Vons during the 5 Dollar Friday Sale.
Well apparently, I didn't know how fast & effective Law of Attraction was. When we are aligned with our Source, the higher conciousness, we are connected to infinite intelligence where all our power is. Not only do we begin to attract resources, but also we rendevouz with those people whom have the same or like vibration. It had only took a week after this encounter with Michael that I had manifested a WONDERFUL opportunity into my life from my Employer at Vons. My manager Matthew Failing had offered to train me to be a Food clerk and possibly a supervisor. He literally gave me an opportunity of a lifetime and the funny thing I didn't have to go looking for it; it was all happening in perfect timing and effortless. It is almost like that I had attracted my resources with Source answering my asking. Overall I found it very interesting how these turn of events relate to another; there's this flow of syncronocity. To all happen within days of each other is quite amazing if I would have to say so myself.

Fruition Friday #4: How-to make a Focus Wheel!
What's a Focus Wheel? Vortex? LOA?
A "Focus Wheel" is a tool that suppose to mimic the "Vortex", both are words coined by thee Esther Hicks. She is the one who created these wonderful concepts through channeling a universal conciouness named, Abraham Hicks, to help us understand and realize our potential as extensions of Source energy. The "Vortex" is a place where all of our desires reside, it's where our inner being, who we really are is and is calling us towards. As we are living the human life here in our physical bodies we are faced with contrasting experiences which evoke a preference, a desire from within ourselves. When we know what we don't desire we know more clearly what we do desire. There's an interplay with energy, with how we perceive our realtiy and how we really perceive our reality. There's an inner being, an inner knowiness from within each and every one of us and how our perception and the perception of our inner being's mesh is where our emotions come from. Well, the Focus Wheel is a excercise created by Abraham Hicks that mimics a Vortex; it's suppose to help us get into the "Vortex" where everything we want is. It achieves through starting with wherever we're at in the emotional scale and it transforms our thoughts to one the resonants more with who we really are.
How to create a Focus Wheel!
Materials:
- A large piece of paper
- A compass or something to draw circles with
- Pen or Pencil
- Your thoughts
Directions:
1)First, we begin with drawing a large circle in the middle of your piece of paper; this is the "Vortex".
2)Next, draw a smaller circle in the middle of that bigger circle.
3)Then, Draw small circles around the perimeter of the large circle about 10-12 circles.
4)On the title portion, the heading write an out of the vortex statement, for example, you can write something like this, "I am lonely and I feel like nobody loves me. I don't feel anybody cares about me or appreciates the wonderful things I do."
5)Now that you have the out of the Vortex statement, you can write your in the Vortex statement inside the small circle located in the middle of the larger circle. When you know what you don't want you know what you clearly do want. It goes something like this,"I desire to be with somebody that loves and appreciates me. Someone who enjoys me."
6)Starting with you first circle on the perimeter and going around clockwise write statements that you do believe already that match the circle in the center. You're not trying to shoot for honesty or truthfulness but, what you believe on how you want it to be. Stuff like, "I notice certain people around me who do love me and are concerned of my wellbeing" or "I remember seeing a stranger on my way home who smilied at me and greeted me with joy and love. I didn't even know who he was but, it provided this sense of warmth within me." Anything that you already believe, but matches the center statement.
7)As you go along you'll, begin to notice your vibration rising with each statement you make. Slowly you'll see that you believe the desire you had put forth more and more. By the 10th or 12th statement you'll have enough momentum moving that you believe and feel your desire as something real and now you ARE IN the Vortex where all that you want is.

Wisdom Wednesday #4: Eat, Pray, Love Book Review
Eat, Pray, Love Ch 2-3 Review:
Elizabeth begins her story on Chapter 2 with a flashback 3 years time ago to give alittle background information to help build more character and give Liz more depth. She writes in a way that captivates the audeience, the reader, well you to feel for her despair. She is lost laying on the floor of her house contemplating things like she sees herself in all of these photos on her nightstand, but yet she feels separated from those memories she had. She feels like she's a spectator and not a participant in her own life. She feels like she's not truly living. I feel she uses this to connect with the reader, I mean who hasn't felt this way somewhere in their own life. I from personal experience I had felt this way after my break up with my beloved now ex-girlfriend. It was a confusing time mixed with feelings like as if my life's a dream, like nothing seems real for me, I forgot myself through the loss. Through this experience in Chapter 3, Liz experiences her first encounter with her version of what God was to her. It was a confident, more loving, sureness of her own voice locked up inside. She screams in plea for help asking, "God, I know I haven't spoke to you, but what do I do? I am in really big trouble and I need to know what you want me to do? WHAT do I do?"(Eat,Pray, Love; Elizabeth Gilbert) Personally, I believe everyone has their own version of Source. We call it many things, but they're all labels for the same thing. Some say God, others inner being, these labels are all describing this higher, larger than life conciousness that is us. I believe that this inner knowing, this voice she has in this part of the story is her God. When we quiet our mind, from personal experience, I know that we're able to speak and hear that voice because we talk less and listen more. Inspiration comes to us through this inner knowing, this God. Elizabeth Gilbert is very clever and she's a great writer using things like drawing from experiences she's had and tools like commonalities in human behavior to connect with her audience; I think for this reason she's successful in reaching such a HUGE variety of people young and old.

Manifestation Monday #4: How I Helped My Dog Manifest His New Home
Max Needs A Home
I'm happy to announce that my dog Max found a new home with a wonderful family. I KNOW it had to be pure law of attraction. Everything happened in perfect timing and in such a beautiful way.I needed to place him in a home before I was forced to take him to the local Humane Society. I first placed an ad on Craigslist in December. I wasn't too hopeful and it was during the holiday season. I guess I was secretly wishing he wouldn't get adopted out just yet.
I Wasn't Ready To Let Go
The next time I posted an ad was March 17, 2014. I "forgot" to post a picture with my ad. I received a call shortly after asking to see photos of Max. I texted him a couple of photos and added them to my ad as well. A part of me hoped this guy wouldn't want him either. I kept insisting in my mind that the perfect family would just take him instead. I didn't get any other calls during that period.Less Than 24 Hours - LOA Delivers
On March 29, 2014, I was preoccupied with reading posts on a forum about posting in classifieds for my business. I found a list of all the top online classified ad websites and suddenly had the urge to post Max on the top 3 websites. Before I officially had him up, I looked up ads of people "looking" to adopt a dog. One person was looking for a dog and even though it was posted earlier in the month for a smaller dog, I tried to contact them anyway. I got a response that the person already found a dog. I was happy for the new owner and felt hopeful that Max would find a home soon.I think that spark of happiness for that dog finding it's way to that owner became that moment that turned the whole event in my favor. I posted to the other two sites and let go of the idea that Max would or wouldn't get adopted.
Turn of Events
The next day, I went on my usual schedule. It was in perfect timing that by the time I came home from church, my mom called me to tell me she was on her way. When she came, her plan was only to visit for about 2 hours. During our conversation, my phone rang which was still charging. I didn't recognize the number but felt the urge to pick it up. I answered and it was a lady who saw my ad and wanted to meet Max.A Funny Coincidence?
We met the family of 2. They loved Max and we loved that this family had everything we could ask for:
- A single mom with a little boy who had no other pets
- They lived next to the beach
- Very active family
- Knowledgeable about dogs
- Responsible
So what was the funny coincidence? Well, I've been wanting to move next to the beach. It's actually something which I know LOA will bring forth into my reality soon. I had planned to move us and our dogs in that direction but was worried that 3 dogs was too much for any new place. So I guess we moved Max to the beach, right? I laughed a little inside because I wanted both worlds and I think I got it. I wanted to live at the beach and still have my dogs with me. I guess I wasn't specific enough with LOA to mention that it was ME who wanted the beach living and to have my pets with me as well.
LOA Working It's Magic
I watched a YouTube video which I posted earlier in the week about why negative things happen to us. It creates a desire in us to match what we want. I truly believe that this event wasn't just to place Max in his new home, but to raise my desire to move toward the beach. I'm excited because I could feel that what I've asked for is set and ready to become my reality.
