Astonishing Power of Emotions

You are human. You feel.

There are subtle and not-so-subtle messages you receive that feed the story that it is not OK to feel. So you shut feelings down, avoid them, hide them, fight them.

It's time for a new paradigm. Let's get real.

Emotions are. Your willingness to be with them greatly determines your quality of life. You may think that emotions are an indicator that something is wrong or that you are off track.

Here's another way to look at it.

Emotions are:

1) Energy in motion that will inform you of a life experience. BEing with them allows you to open the gift of the moment. Allowing them to flow offers a gateway to another experience that the emotion wants to take you to.

2) Feedback from the universe. The universe reflects back to you all the time. It gives you information for you to use because it wants you to succeed. Observing your emotions is a masterful way to take charge of your reality. In seeing them for what they are, you are able to use them as information to change direction, keep on track, make new choices-or whatever else you conclude from the feedback.

Abraham-Hicks new book, "The Astonishing Power of Emotions", provides an understanding of how emotions work, what they are really for, and how you can use them effectively in order to feel more peace with where you are as well as to create what you want in life. One quote to ponder:

"Your emotions are an indicator of where you are in terms of what you want."

The Envelope Please-Napoleon Hill Reveals His Clue

Napoleon Hill reveals the clue that allowed him to help millions of people find their "earthly destinies", reminding us that whatever the mind can conceive, the mind can achieve. He refers to this profound law that provides the means by which we may choose our own purpose in life and attain it.

Highlights of this video:

In referring to this clue, this law he said Carnegie conveyed is, "A power that is greater than poverty, greater than lack of education, greater than all your fears and superstitions combined. It is the power to take possession of your own mind and direct it to whatever ends you desire."

"Whatever your mind feeds upon, your mind attracts to you."

"All success begins with a definiteness of purpose, with a clear picture in your mind of precisely what you want from life."

"Your only limitations are ones that you set up in your own mind or permit others to set up for you."

Oh, and of course he mentions the use of gratitude and closes with his favorite expression of gratitude:

"Oh divine providence, I ask for not more riches, but more wisdom with which to make wiser use of the riches you gave me at birth, consisting in the power to control and direct my own mind to whatever ends I desire."

What's Love Got To Do With It?

What's love got to do with the Law of Attraction? I've pondered this question during this month highlighting the spirit of love. It is clear to me that love has everything to do with the Law of Attraction and I propose that your ability to know, feel, receive and express love is a direct link to manifesting what you want in life.

How so? Here are some of my conclusions:

1) Love is ever expanding. It knows no bounds. Link to Law of Attraction=To receive the wonderous bounty of life that is your birthright, you must allow yourself to be in the consciousness that is boundless. Your past, your stories, your identity are all too small to package what is available to you. Let your self soar into more expansiveness. Open yourself to the vastness of possibility.

2) Love is the ultimate creative force. Creativity flows through love and the interior of your greatest wise soul self beyond your personality. Link to the Law of Attraction=Gaining mastery in the Law of Attraction includes understanding your power to create. You create all the time. Do you create on purpose or by default? Using the Law of Attraction to create what you really want means you become an on purpose creator. You need to carry conviction in your being that you are a creator of your reality. And then, you need to find ways to build your creativity muscle. Love is the ultimate force for creativity to express itself freely and fully. Get to know the vibration and expression of love and you will naturally know how to let the Law of Attraction work more purposefully through your creations every day.

3) Love transcends anything. Love's powerful life force is beyond belief, limitations, stories, and/or anything that has to do with our human constructs. Love takes you beyond the mundane and keeps you in alignment with what really matters. Link to the Law of Attraction=You really ready to manifest what you want in life? To truly know joy and abundance? You will need to allow yourself to transcend certain human constructs that show up in the form of limiting beliefs and stories. They can be so ingrained that you don't even know much they run your life. Anyway, when you vibrate in love you will operate from a higher power that transends anything limiting and automatically BE in way that aligns you with what matters most. By connecting to what matters most, your life can flow in ways that enable you to attract what you desire.

What You Are Seeking is Also Seeking You

Stop searching. Stop trying.

What you are seeking is seeking you. If what you are seeking is in alignment with who you are and what you truly desire (versus what you think you "should" be after in life), the universe will align itself in service to what you want.

So what does this mean?

1) You can stop the pain staking struggle to "get it right". The illusion that something is "out there" that you need to get or find keeps you in a state of scarcity. With scarcity, there is the idea that something may not happen. You may not find the answer. You may miss the golden opportunity. This is a story. And the story is fed by the very notion that you have to seek something out.

2) The universe wants you to succeed. That's right! If what you are seeking is also seeking you, it's safe to say that things are lined up in service to making what you want happen.
Welcome this paradigm. The universe actually is designed to help you create what you want because it rejoices in your joy and abundance! Joy and health are your birthright.

3) You already are in alignment. Because you are another expression of the life force that the universe is comprised of, you are naturally connected to the very essence of the life giving source. Actually, you are the life giving source. As such, you are meant to succeed. As such, you are already connected to that which will enable you to know what you desire. You don't need to try, you just need to allow yourself to become what is true for you and receive. You need to realize this truth and then act as if so that you let that which you are seeking come to you. It wants to. Let it!

So what can you do instead of searching and trying?

1) Relax.
2) Trust.
3) Affirm.
4) Open.
5) Recieve.

Do You Believe?

Do you believe it is possible? Do you believe in your dreams? Do you believe the universe will help make it happen?

Believing in the reality you want to create is essential to its creation. I've heard so many people describe what they want with lackluster and doubt. I've witnessed people backtrack on their dreams, using language that indicates that they don't really believe it is possible.

You've got to believe! Really believe. You want a relationship that is happy and healthy? Do you really believe you can experience that? You want a career that reflects your values, expresses your talents and pays you well? What is your position regarding this possibility?

Be compassionately honest with yourself about this. Do you really let yourself believe in what you want? Believe in the reality that it could be yours? If not, that is OK. You have just identified an obstacle that is preventing you from obtaining what you want. Without belief, you will not put yourself into it. You will not fully commit. You will not open yourself to the resources available to help make it so.

So, do take the time to observe your thoughts and beliefs regarding what you want in life. After you have done so, establish a plan to bolster your beliefs in service to making it all come to be.

Boost your manifesting reality by choosing to believe. This is one of your innate powers, to choose your thoughts and beliefs in any given moment. Make sure your beliefs line you up with what you desire. You deserve it.

Tips for Manifestion

Manifestation is a power that is inherently yours. You are a creative life force and an extension of this truth is your ability to create. You create all the time. You can choose to
create on purpose, manifesting your true desires.

Manifesting is, "to show or demonstrate plainly; reveal." Everything is created twice, once in your mind and then once in the physical realm. In manifesting what you desire in life, you are using your mind deliberately to reveal in the physical plane what was once in your head.
Here are some tips for manifesting:

Get Clear: Name with specificity and conviction what you want.
Act As If: Feel what it feels to have/know what you want. Use the power of your imagination to conjur up the feelings. Allow them to radiate through your body. Imagine how you would act and act like that. Imagine how you would walk. How you would talk. Be all that.
Empty: Keep yourself clear of things that drain you and distract you. Implement practices that empty you of things (i.e. stories, fears, wounds, circumstances) that no longer serve you.
Be Open to the Mystery: It's simple. It's complex. Life is a mystery, truly a wonder to behold. Trust that the life force that keeps life breathing and evolving is supporting your manifesting. Learn to walk a fine walk between focus and determination and giving over and surrender.
Allow Synchronicity: Signs and resources are available to us everywhere. Listen and notice and you will be astounded by the signs that reveal to you that you are in alignment, that all is well, that you have what you need, that the resources and how will be available as you say yes.
Be Grateful: Of course. I keep suggesting this. Gratitude is one of the most powerful magnetic forces around.

How Does Gratitude Activate the Law of Attraction?

Ok, to say that gratitude activates the Law of Atttraction it is not completely true. I mean it is, but it isn't.

Let me explain. The Law of Attraction is in effect all the time. So to say that gratitude, or anything else, activates it isn't quite accurate.

BUT....

Gratitude WILL activate your ability to attract what you WANT.

See, you are attracting all the time. You think, believe, perceive, communicate and act in ways that result in whatever you experience. This is so cool to get! YOU have the power to create what you want! The power is in your hands. Well, it's actually in your head, but you know what I mean.

You are here because you want to learn how to use this law to create what you want. You want to discover keys and tools that will help you master the law so that you create on purpose. You don't want to just have the law working in your life.... you want to the law to be working FOR your life!

So what is the relationship between gratitude and the Law of Attraction? One of the fundamentals of the Law of Attraction is:

What you pay attention to grows. You bring about what you predominately think about (consciously or unconsciously).

Gratitude is a choice. It's an attitude. It's a state of being. It's a way of perceiving life. When you live in gratitude, you are placing your attention deliberately. Placing your attention deliberately...this is a big determiner in your quality of life. Are you going to play big? Be fully alive? Experience all you desire? Then you must place your attention deliberately.

If what you pay attention grows, and you are placing your attention on gratitude-then that which you are grateful for will grow. Now, on the one hand it will create more of what you are thankful for i.e. joy, health. YET, the power of gratitude goes way beyond "results". It's not just about saying thanks to have more. It's about radically changing the quality of life. As gratitude becomes foundational to your way of being, you are simply thankful for life. Not things that happen, not stuff you gain, not experiences you have, but simply life. Don't get me wrong, you can have all these things.

But what I'm offering to you, what the very nature of gratitude is offering you, is a quality of life that will be riddled with joy and fulfillment. And this state of being will remain as long as you live once you get that it is not the circumstances of your life that determine your joy, but your decision to live in state of mind that includes gratitude for the very sacred nature of life.

Thank you.
