ASK QUESTIONS AND…

Good day and I hope you are having a great day. This week, I am going to get a little metaphysical.  This Universe has such amazing principles that can guide us to success,  that when I stumble on some of them I can’t help get excited and want to share them with you.  Today’s blog is about one such method, or tool that I have recently given some extra thought and attention to. 

When I was younger and was much more involved in martial arts, it was not unusual for me to meditate 2 or 3 times a day for 15 minutes or more.  After years of meditation, I discovered that in addition to clearing my mind, I could also ask questions.  I asked questions about different things.  I would hear answers in my mind, and in my own voice.  At first I just ignored them and chalked them to “self-talk” that we all have a tendency to do. The important thing was that when I would hear these answers in the quiet and calm places, the answers were very profound and helpful. If I remained humble, I would know that there was more than just my own intuition involved.   When in turn I would attempt this question and answer session amidst the hustle and bustle of the busy life,  the answers were not so great. In fact they were mostly useless or costly. 

I have come to the conclusion that the source talks to me in the calm and quiet, when I am slowing down.  After all, loudness and chaos come from scarcity and calmness and the quiet patience come from a place of prosperity.  It makes such perfect sense from a Law of Attraction stand  (LOA)              point that it is a perfect subject for this blog.   

I want to urge you to ask questions.   Ask for what want.  Ask for guidance in regards to what you should do?  Ask for guidance and then be quiet and listen? If that is not possible, then wait for the answers when it is possible to be quiet.  The answers will come all the time.  Our mind likes to look for the answers but weather those answers are coming from our  ego, or are they part of the grand wisdom of the Source, depends on how you are receiving the answers.  Real, answers are very seldom loud, and outspoken.  They are little hints and whispers  which you will get used to recognizing  with practice.

It is so unusual for us, specially living in the West to hear the wisdom of calm and quiet answers.  We are so used to our out of this world, loud and boisterous responses.  Look for the real answers in places that may not be obvious. When you are sitting alone in traffic or are in line.  Sometimes when you are lost in your own thoughts just walking in nature.  I have even experience some profound answers when I long holds on the phone.   Instead of having your iPod, or music blasting,  or trying to multitask your way through the day, just listen.  Many times the answers will come to you at the edges of sleep just before going to sleep or before waking up. 

Get into the habit of having a pen and paper or,  your phone by your bedside so you can take notes or record your thoughts at these times.  Do not trust your memory in these instances and with such important information.  You may not be able to recall these thoughts  if you let them pass and trust that you can write them or put them into action when you reach your destination or when you wake up.  Practice recognizing these inputs from the source and make sure you are recording and using them as if you ignore them, they may slowly stop coming to you all together. 

I hope this post was helpful.  Please feel free to share this blog with anyone who may benefit from it. As always if you want to comment or something is unclear, leave me a comment on my Facebook page or on my Twitter feed. Until next week, to your success. 

MAGNIFY YOUR MANIFESTING BY…

Good day and I hope you are having a great week. Today I am going to go deep into what powers The Law of Attraction (LOA).  Many times I have eluded to this, but it is so important that I am once again going to address it in its own post.  Your feelings are the most important part of manifesting your future the way you want it to be.  You have heard me use the analogy that your thoughts may be the steering wheel of the car, but the emotions they entail is the mechanism connecting the steering wheel to the tires. 

Without your feelings, your efforts will bear fruit but,  things are just going to occur very slowly. When things happen slowly, you are more likely to give up before you see the fruits of your labor.  Visualization, and concentration are wonderful, and will get you to a more positive vibration,  but if you can control your feelings, then you are amplifying and magnifying all of your results many times over.

When things are going well, this is not a big problem.  That is how most of the population handles their life. When things are good, they feel good. When things are challenging they do not feel good.  It is changing your feelings when challenges arise that requires a mental effort.  It is very easy to say “change your state”, but it is much more difficult to do in practice if you have not given the effort and attention it requires in practice. Even so called masters blunder on this point at times.

Great speakers like Anthony Robbins, spend 10-15 minutes before addressing the audience getting their state, their emotional feelings, revved up and at a high vibration before going and teaching their positive message. This is because they know that the feeling that they put in their message is many times more important than what they are saying.

If you are in business and are creating a marketing campaign for example, it would behoove you to follow Dr. Joe Vitale’s example.  What he does is that when he writes an ad copy, he does is over and over and at each re-write he tries to amplify his positive emotions. He writes marketing campaign only  when he is feeling good. Rhonda Byrne is another great example.  When she was writing the now famous book The Secret, and all the sequels, she would sit down and develop her emotions into a positive, grateful, inspiring vibration before writing a single word on paper. 

At first it is very frustrating to fight against negativity when challenges arise.  Many of us have been conditioned to feel bad when stuff is not going our way. We may even think it is “natural”.  That is just a euphemism for “I have done it this way, my parents have done it this way, everyone I know has done it this way”.  It takes amazing amount of emotional and mental discipline to continually try to reach for that one thing that feels just a little bit better on the emotional level.  On this point though, perseverance is of up most importance.  If you want to make any noticeable change in your life, you have get a hold of this principle and make it your own. Practice it. Practice it often. It is fun. Sit down, and close your eyes and imagine how much more wonderful your life would be if you could control your emotions when challenges arise?  I don’t mean you have to ignore challenges. Not at all. On the contrary, you deal with them, but you choose to feel good.  Even if you don’t want to admit it, I am telling you that it is a fact that you have complete control over your emotions at all times. Many times, many of us do not exhibit that control, but we all know that person who is capable of this feat don’t we?  But control is power and you can be proud of yourself and happy when you can achieve it. Here are some benefits that you can be happy about.  Maybe because you can be objective. Maybe because throwing a tantrum like a child is really not going to help you anyway.  Maybe because you know deep inside you that it takes strength to control your own emotions, and that it is a character that is admired by many in business as well as personal life. 

In business and your personal life, the little bit of planning you can do by making your vibration and feelings positive before you send out the vibration of desire are worth more than many days, even months of continual visualizing in a neutral or negative state. When corresponding with people in writing or otherwise, getting yourself into a good state can be the difference between a great outcome or not. You don’t have to be a Tony Robbins on a stage addressing 30,000 people. You like I, may be addressing your child.  Imagine how much better the situation would proceed with emotional control?

I hope this makes sense, and is clear. It is by far one of the corner stones of making LOA work well for you.  Please feel free to share this, and if you have questions or comments let me know by posting them on my Facebook or Twitterfeed and I will answer them.  Until next week, to your success.

ARE YOU LIKE ME???

Good day and I hope you are having a great week. This blog started  5 years ago, with me putting down my frustrations, and consciously trying to change my vibrations from negative to positive.  I’ve continued to do that over the years in the hopes that the challenges that I have had,  are common to many people, and the lessons I am learning from different teachers and The Law of Attraction (LOA), that have made a positive impact in my life and have helped me, will help my readers and others.  To that point, I wanted to discuss a particular quirk that I have personally, again in the hopes that it will help those of you that may have the same personality as I do, or who make the same challenging choices as I have at times. I am very analytical. I like to have things very organized, and plan things for events. I don’t like to be surprised when it comes to important matters.  As part of this kind of habit and attitude I find myself exploring the” what ifs” of what can go wrong?  Even after studying the Law of Attraction and practicing it in my life for over 5 years, I tend to justify, that I am looking out for my best interest by planning for the worst and hoping for best.  Those who know me well, have heard me quote the warrior saying “the more you sweat in practice, the less you bleed in battle” many times.

 All of that is great, and have a place in our finance, business, and personal life. The thing to remember however is, when we are going through preparing for the worst, what kind of feelings are we sending out.  Remember the Law of Attraction (LOA) is not just our thoughts. It is powered and amplified by the emotions that we put behind those thoughts. Let me give you a small example to clarify this.  Let’s say I am planning a trip from San Diego to Long Beach.  A small 100 miles trip. Not a big deal if you have taken this trip routinely.  Let’s say it is my first time,  and I am over analyzing the situation and I want to plan for what if I get a  flat tire?  Simple right? Now if my thoughts and emotions are “oh my God what if I get a flat tire?  I’m going to have to pull from the fast lane to the other side of the 5 lane freeway. I drive a van. Where is the spare located. Is there a screw on the inside? Do I have to crawl underneath the van? Oh my God, is my AAA card active and do I need to call them?” All of these thoughts are coming from a feeling of desperation, fear, negativity.  You may or may not be able to get the perspective from these written words here, but if you heard me speak them you would definitely hear the pain.

Now the same thing could be handled from  a more powerful and in control vibration.  I am taking that same trip from San Diego to Long Beach.  I want to be prepared if there is a flat tire.  I know that the road is a wonderful freeway, with the bulk of the trip on a  5 lanes paved and modern interstate. On either side of the freeway there are wide emergency lanes very conveniently located to pull to the side. I know my van is very new, so the chances of my tire having a flat are very slim.  I know there is an instruction manual in the glove compartment, so even if I don’t know how to reach the spare, it will take me no more than 5-10 minutes to find the instructions in the manual (remember I am analytical) which is very well written.  Do you see the confidence and more positive feeling behind the second way of dealing with issues versus the first method? 

I hope this becomes evident, because many of us specially as parents, husbands, significant others, and those who have to look out for not just  ourselves, but also family and friends tend to imagine the worst.  We tend to get worked up over things that in most cases will never happen.  We need to reach for our emotions and let that be a cue to us.  When we start to feel  nervous, and negative about topics, we need to change that. Because negativity will only bring about opportunities for us to feel more negative.  We don’t want those incidences of “what if”, to suddenly become our reality. 

I hope this makes sense and helps. Please comment on my Facebook page and twitter feed about anything  that is unclear and I will reply to you. As always, until next week, to your success.  

YOU GET WHAT YOU PREPARE FOR

Good day and I hope you are having a great week. This week I am going to explore a question I get asked very frequently when I talk about The Law of Attraction (LOA),  and how simple it is to make it work for you.  I get asked why can’t I just visualize and have my desires materialize for me,  if The Law of Attraction (LOA) is so easy to work with? This is a very good question.

Here is the little missing  ingredients  about the LOA, that you may not have realized, or it may not have been conveyed properly to you in previous teachings.  Although it should be really obvious. If you are studying The LOA from its basics tenants it should really be obvious, that the bottom line is this: you don’t necessarily get what you think, but you get what you prepare for. When I say, this is supposed to be obvious, it is because in one way or another you have heard this before. It may not have clicked at the time, and this is the reason why I am putting  a whole post dedicated to this topic. 

Remember when The Secret came out, and everyone was studying The Law of Attraction, and we were introduced to it, one of the examples was that you can’t be thinking of negativity, or words of negations.  You can’t say “I don’t want bills”, because what you are doing is concentrating on bills. You cannot say “I don’t want hardship”, because you are concentrating on hardship.  Another words, you are PREPARING FOR bills, and hardships.  Here is the rub, if you say “I want a million dollars” and yet you are sitting on your butt, you are PREPARING for more opportunities to sit on your butt.  The million dollars, is not usually the result you want.  People desire money for reasons that are far beyond the paper money.  They want to do something with the money. They want freedom, want to go on a vacation, want to buy a Porsche, want to build a house of their dreams.  Do you see that  you are not really preparing to go and buy the house of your dreams if you are sitting on the couch.  You are not preparing to buy the Porsche if you are sitting on the couch.  You are not preparing to fall in love if you are sitting on the couch.  That is why you have to take action towards it. 

Remember one of the examples in The Secret was of a person looking for a lover, but she was sleeping in the middle of the bed. She wasn't preparing to have someone in her life.  You need to keep doing your visualization. You need to make sure you have emotional attachments to what you want.  Those emotional vibrations and those emotional attachments should be coming from places that feel good and not from places that feel bad. And also start preparing.  Remember we were talking last week about faith, and believing that you already have what you have.  What Dr. Vitale calls “Nevalizing” your desires. Start preparing for what you want. If you want a new Porsche, then start cleaning the garage and make space for the Porsche. Go to the dealership and sit in it, and test drive it. If you want the new house, go and look at houses. Walk through open houses and see your dream houses on the weekends. Prepare for it, and you are getting much closer to achieving it.

I hope this makes sense and helps you. Please leave me comments on my Facebook page and Twitter feed if you have any questions, or comments. Until next week, to your success.
