This is an awesome video with Abraham discussing losing weight and the benefits of having strong desire. It features a discussion with a woman who has tried every diet which I can relate to.
I love the teachings of Abraham and applied many of them to my body and used it to develop my own philosophy to lose 120 pounds.
Would sure be great to hear how this woman has made out.
I know that it is possible. If you want to know more about my philosophy and journey check out Refuse To Diet

Something Bigger Out There?
Is there something bigger out there? I believe there is. Some people call it Source or God or the Universe...
No matter what you call it, there is definitely something that is bigger than each individual. And we all can feel it if we are open to it.
Listen to 2 or more people exchange ideas--and if they are open to it--the ideas build one upon another and get better and better. Bigger and better than anything they would have come up with on their own.
That is why teams are so wonderful. The group energy is greater than the sum of the parts! Call it synergy, call it collaboration, whatever. The label really isn't important.
This group energy exists even when we are not part of a team. Doctors have studied the powerful effect had upon patients who are being prayed for--by people hundreds and thousands of miles away. People who don't even know the patient.
Joseph Campbell talked about the Collective Unconscious. This unseem bond that we have with one another.
Whether it is "the matrix", Source Energy, the Universe, Angels or God...there is SOMETHING that is linking humanity. And if we choose to be open to that link, to tap into that energy, then all things are possible--because we will think of them, believe they are possible and attract the right events and people into our lives and act upon our inspirational ideas.
That, my friends, is the Law of Attraction Put Into Action

Discounting Attraction (the Law of, that is)
I was at a fantastic conference recently.
Heard a lot of wonderful, bright speakers.
Several of whom dismissed the Law of Attraction.
Time and time again I heard something along the lines of--it isn't ATTRACTION, it is TAKING ACTION.
Then, the same speakers would talk about the importance of MINDSET.
Hmmm...last I checked all of that is part of "the secret" aka the Law of Attraction (LoA).
One speaker even said she didn't believe in LoA--if you sit at the bottom of the stairs with your eyes closed thinking about being at the top of the stairs, you aren't going to suddenly find yourself at the top--no, you have to get up and walk up the stairs.
While it was great for a visual and a giggle, that's not Law of Attraction, that is TELEPORTATION! And I agree, I don't think we are there (yet).
The Law of Attraction--truly one of the great laws of the universe (but surely not the only one!)--does NOT state that you don't have to take action. It talks about getting your mind in the right place (mindset) and thinking about what you desire in your life and then being open to the people and ideas that come to you--and ACTING UPON THEM!!!
So really, the Law of Attraction IS the Law of Action.

We Choose Our World
The way in which we think of ourselves has everything to do with how our world sees us and how we can see ourselves successfully acknowledged by that world.It all starts with loving ourselves and seeing the possibilities, so that we may receive the many blessings available to us. Or we can choose to not love ourselves, to not see the possibilities and therefore to not receive.
--Arlene Raven
Every day, every minute we have the power to choose our world.

Taking Care of Oneself
I "met" someone today through her blog...she is talking about the importance of taking care of oneself...and she referenced my RefuseToDiet blog.
The idea of taking care of self is something I've been covering here. I really appreciate her take on things we can do (actions)--check out her blog!
Taking care of oneself includes our health, doing our affirmations, keeping our hearts centered on love and peace...and really deciding that we deserve good things and setting our intentions that we are open to receiving all the good there is in the universe!

Fear is the Opposite of Love
There are 2 basic emotions: love and the lack of love. Some people will say that the opposite of love is hate. But where does hate really come from? Fear. When we are not coming from love, we are actually coming from fear.
Esther & Jerry Hicks refer to this in the Teachings of Abraham (Check out the book Ask and It Is Given...great!) So does scientist Gregg Braden. Many other fantastic teachers point this out.
When you want to manifest, or attract, something into your life (some thing or person or event or skill...you name it) it is crucial to be aware of the emotion behind the desire.
Coming from love will allow you to attract what you want. The same exact thoughts that are powered by fear will bring you the lack of what you want or some other negative aspect of what you want.
Abraham uses an example about money...if you desire to have more money, you can not attract it if your feelings are about the lack of money, or jealousy that someone else has money and you don't.
Whether it is money, or health or an ideal relationship, if we come from our place of "not having" or fear of not getting it, then we will not attract it into our lives. I wrote a post last month in response to a question about this topic...if you didn't read it then, check it out by clicking here.
My goal is to approach everything from a place of love. I am not perfect at it (yet!) but I am on the path. I am pleased that my awareness grows every day and I find myself being more clear and loving all the time.
I believe when we all come from this loving place there will be peace on earth. And isn't that a lovely (and loving) thought!

Contemplate the Possibilities
Thomas Troward (1847-1916) greatly influenced the New Thought movement at the end of the 19th century. One of his points was that it is by contemplating the possibility of a thing that we can actually bring it about.
Contemplate the possibilities that you want to have manifest in your life.
Be grateful for the possibilities and their manifestation.
To read more about Thomas Troward's ideas check out his books:

Law of Attraction at Work
Today I was watching a presentation by Buzz Aldrin, the second person to walk on the moon. There was no particular reason for my watching this presentation today. I had lots of options.
I chose Buzz Aldrin from the myriad of options available to me.
Less than 30 minutes after I finished the video, I brought in the paper. I typically glance through to see what is happening in our area.
What did I find as I scanned through the paper? Two photos of Buzz Aldrin!
Coincidence? Serendipity? Those are words that describe the Law of Attraction at work!
I was thinking about Buzz Aldrin and got the opportunity to learn more about him...it will be interesting to see what other things I bring into my life today.
