Abraham-Hicks Guided Meditations

Gosh I've been away a long time! Spending less time on the computer and more time doing other things--guess that's not a bad thing!

When I went to the Abraham-Hicks session in Denver recently I was pleased to hear that they were going to be coming out with guided meditations...I do much better with walking meditations or guided meditations if I'm going to be sitting. So I have been happily waiting, knowing they will arrive at the right time.




Yesterday I got a flier in the mail that the they can be ordered--good timing, don't you think? Just in time for the holidays.

Here's a link that will enable you to save $5 off list price (list is $24.95, get it here for $19.96.) Please note this is in Pre-Order...meaning it has not yet been released. Scheduled for release on Dec 1 2010!

I am very excited to be able to get mine--and save $$ too!

Law of Attraction in Art and Politics

My city is a wonderful place to live. I love all the art that we have here. I love how supportive the community generally is...so I find it so interesting when a lot of negative attention is focused on a particular piece of art.

A couple of years ago it was a sculpture entitled "Triangle"...theoretically a permanent installation. Critics didn't like it or didn't like the location. This piece was moved and is still part of our permanent collection in town.

The current controversy is about an exhibition at our museum. Apparently one of the prints that is on display has been deemed to be offensive to some...either because it offends their religion or their sexual sensibilities...or both.

I'm not really here today to comment about the content of the art, whether it is "art" or as the detractors claim, "pornography", I'm really reflecting on Law of Attraction in action.

It is ironic that this exhibition would largely have gone unnoticed were it not for a single City Council member who brought it to the attention of the Council and thereby the newspaper and the City at large.

This council member failed to get a discussion on the work on this week's agenda, so he has loudly proclaimed that any citizen can speak about any topic, on the agenda or not...therefore, you guessed it, it is now anticipated that there will be lots of folks at tonight's council meeting "commenting" on this piece.

Why am I saying this is LOA in action?

Because in his pushing against this print he has brought lots more attention to it. More visitors have been to the museum and more financial contributions have been received. Rather than getting the print removed and having fewer people be "subject to it" he has actually increased the number of people who are not only aware of it but who have seen it!

The lesson to be learned here is that when we see something we do not like then we should turn our attention elsewhere. Like a dog seeking your attention, if you turn your back it will quiet down.

Know Your Why

At a meeting the other night a speaker said "to succeed in this business you have to know your why"...that is something I completely agree with, whether it is that business, or any business, or your personal life...especially if you want to experience a change in direction.

It is more important to know your WHY than to know the HOW.

The WHY is about how you feel about it, not how you will accomplish it.

The WHY is what will keep you motivated when things aren't always going smoothly.

The WHY is what gets you energized so you want to get up in the morning.

The WHY is what makes it easy to take the steps that lead to the change.

Many of us choose a why that doesn't inspire us...if you are doing things and it feels like drudgery then I suggest you look at your WHY. If you only come up with with whys that are SHOULDS then dig deeper (or dig sideways perhaps.)

If you absolutely cannot come up with a WHY that gets you excited, can you find a WHY that lets you feel better?

For example, if you hate your job and you have no WHY that gets you pumping about it, try to see if you can focus on a couple positive aspects of your job and then see if you find a why. Does your job provide you with a stable income? Paid vacation? Do you have pleasant co-workers or customers? Does your job provide you with training?

Perhaps your WHY is that you know you are learning and growing as a person, an employee, or as a business person and that you will be able to apply all this growth and knowledge to your next job, the next phase of your life, to starting your own business...

Do any of those WHYs pump you up? Then follow your heart...that doesn't mean you have to jump ship right now...keep feeling that feeling as you work your current job and then next step will unfold...

As long as you know your WHY!

Serendipity Strikes

I had a wonderful, powerfully serendipitous day yesterday.

I was open to meeting just the right teacher for me at that specific moment and then had an awesome conversation with an incredible gal. From that conversation I was so jazzed and empowered, it was awesome.

During that conversation, she mentioned that 2 guys she works with were flying in to Fort Collins to speak, and "if you have time" you might want to go...something about it rang a bell and I looked at the agenda for a group I sporadically attend and lo and behold...the speakers where these 2 guys.

So of course I went to the meeting, met the gents and had a nice conversation with them before their presentation and found out I had several points of commonality with one of them, including we both had worked on nuclear power plants some years back. (That's a big long story...)

By being open and allowing Law of Attraction to bring me great connections I not only made 1, not only 3, but also a 4th! You see, my hair was really shaggy and so I decided I really wanted a haircut before going to the meeting...so I went to a new salon I had read about...and got a great cut in a relaxed atmosphere, had some good laughs...just all-in-all a high-energy day!

Happy Earth Day Blessing

I was feeling such gratitude for our earth today...we had wonderful rain, the grass is green, trees are starting to bloom...and "coincidentally"* someone sent me this fantastic blessing from Doreen Virtue

Happy Earth Day everyone!

*Of course you know that I don't believe in coincidences! These "chance" blessings are the Universe and the Law of Attraction at work.

Abraham-Hicks, Louise Hay and Weight Loss Success

I spoke at an Abraham-Hicks meet up group last month. They wanted to hear how I have applied some of the Abraham-Hicks concepts to weight loss. It was really great to connect with a group of like-minded people and to be able to share some of my weight loss success tips.

I typically spend a couple hours every day...not all at once...listening to teachings from Abraham. I have heard them over and over...and yet I still hear something new just about every day.

The other morning I was watching one of the DVDs that was of a workshop that took place in Carlsbad, CA and guess who I noticed in the front row--Louise Hay! I don't know how many times I watched that DVD without seeing her...I guess there was a reason I saw her this time!

Louise is another teacher I really admire...and I have learned so much from her...and she really helped me to improve my self-image and lose weight. So, the combination of Louise and Abraham was wonderful to see. That would be the ideal workshop for me...well, maybe a few others present would be awesome too.

I have to laugh at myself...I don't fawn over the typical celebrity, but I think I might be a bit tongue-tied if I were face to face with Ms. Hay
