LOA Co-Creators

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.

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". 

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.

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 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. 

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.

They have many popular LOA related speakers as guests, it's worth a listen.

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.

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.

It's that time of the week folks, Wisdom Wednesday! Woo hoo! Today our focus is to get out of that rut and over the midweek hump. Today's list is inspirational movies and vids you can rent or watch online. I'll add resources as I go along.

1. Eat Pray Love (2010)

 Based on the book written by Elizabeth Gilbert. It's actually based on her own true story with some names changed of course. It touches upon self-discovery and the balancing of mind, body and soul. I actually enjoyed this in movie format. My co-author Patrick has actually read the book, read his thoughts on the following post, http://loacocreators.blogspot.com/2014/03/wisdom-wednesday-2-book-of-month-eat.html

2. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2012)

I know the title of the photo is in Spanish, but I watched the English version. It's about several individuals who come together at a stage in their life where....

The following videos are from YouTube

1. The Secret (Full Movie)

This is the original movie. It was inspired by the book written by Rhonda Byrne. I think this is a great "starter" video for those who are just getting to know about the law of attraction.

2. Law of Attraction: Why Negative Events Happen and The Need For Desire by Mikey Bustos


This is an excellent video by a fellow YouTuber Michael Bustos (a previous contestant on Canadian Idol if you recognize his face). He goes on to share how negative events relate to your desires. It's a powerful video in a layman's terms about negative events and law of attraction. I had a "aha" moment watching this.

Previously, here's a recap. I began on introducing how this book was an autobiography about a young woman named Elizabeth Gilbert who goes on a spiritual journey after being divorced traveling to three places Italy, India, and Indonesia in the search to find perfect balance in her life.



So we begin our journey in Italy where she goes onto explain that she's learning how to speak Italian by a tall, dark-haired, handsome fellow named Giovanni. In this part of the story Liz is exploring how to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. She's learning how to enjoy herself through the pursuit of food, language, and friendship. Giovanni and Liz are learning Italian words over delicious Italian dishes. Through the seeking of learning the art of the Italian language she's attempting to save herself from her chaotic times of her divorce. Learning something new has a sort of healing effect, almost like a distraction from awful experiences and as she's learning more and more about her new accquired language from Giovanni she slowly as the story progresses further in the first part of the book she improves herself while moves on by forgetting her past hurts.

I personally can relate to this with my own break up with my previous girlfriend. Although it wasn't a divorce per se it was an ending of a lovely relationship that would inevitably be my world crumbling down. In the past, I had literally worshipped her and the feet she walked on. I loved her with every fiber of my being and she was my world. I realized it was an unhealthy relationship because I realize we were both coming together from a place of emptiness and hurt. We expected each other to be the happiness for each other when it was suppose to be our own responsibilities individually. I know how Liz felt when her world came crumbling down and when your life is in chaos sometimes a little bit of pleasure or a project, a hobby, or interest can save your life. Like Liz's pursuit of something to improver herself and move on I was working out more with my big sister April at the time of my break up to help improve myself and move on from my own relationship.

I am sure many of you can relate to Elizabeth's struggle so I invite all of you to share your experiences with some troubling time that you had in your own life and the hobby or interest that saved your life. I am interested to know more about you! If you have any questions please feel free to ask me anything and tune in next week for the review and analysis of chapter 2. 

This is our first issue of Wisdom Wednesdays: Books edition. Here is where we will share books we have either read or are currently reading. Specific quotes, thoughts and wonders will be shared within these issues or will include links to related posts of the book.

I'm currently reading a book I picked up at my local Barnes & Nobles:

Every Day A Friday by Joel Osteen

Happy Wednesday! I Mean Happy Friday!

This book caught my eye while rummaging through the bargain aisle under self-help:

1. The mere title had me thinking about the days of the week. Wouldn't it be nice to make every day a Friday. We associate weekend fun, relaxation and good moods with Fridays.
2. There's a workbook, meaning some hands-on self reflections and exercises. Woo-hoo!
3. Skimming through the book, I noticed references to the Bible If you're not so religious, it may not appear inspirational. Or it may. I just felt it gave a nice touch to integrate it into feeling good. Religion tends to get the bad rep. I think the term God can be interchanged with Universe if it takes away from the meaning for you.
4. The book focuses on emotions and feelings, which is part of the law of attraction.
