Using the Law Of Attraction For Your Physical Health

Health is #1 in my Law Of Attraction practice, the Catalize Wheel of Life Visioning tool, and in most of my conversations.

Why? Because if you don’t have good health, you’re probably in pain or some other kind of low energy that makes it very difficult to concentrate, focus on what you want, or even take physical action towards your visions.

Here are 2 videos from a talk I did at the Addison Wellness Expo all about how to use the Law Of Attraction to create your 100% physical health: your ideal form, relief from pain, and free of disease.

There are a lot of good resources in here, including a new pre-step to the LOA basic recipe: Rapport. Additional notes and resources are below the videos.

And a few more resources you may choose to explore:

The Let Me Be poem I recited is available as a photo/print
The Sufi Remembrance is a great way to connect with your heart and your sense of the Divine and then check out your options on your path. Here’s where I learned it and where you can get a great audio and guide book to walk you through the process http://www.heartofbusiness.com/the-remembrance-challenge/
I briefly mention Matrix Energetics as one of my favorite healing tools and the source for the awesome inquiry questions “What if it were different?” and “What is different?”. You can learn more about Matrix Energetics here. If you’re local to Dallas, check out the Quantum Play Transformation Circle I host once a month for more like this.
The uplifting book Every Word Has Power by Yvonne Oswald is an excellent resource for upgrading your language, which leads to more positive thoughts, which leads to more positive feelings, which leads to more inspired actions, which leads to the results you crave.
Not mentioned, but another awesome mind-body resource that I reference often is Louise Hay’s Heal Your Body. I use this often as a shortcut to find the probably emotional cause behind any physical symptom so I can adjust my thoughts accordingly.
And if you haven’t yet explored all the raw superfoods, recipes and information on my other website, now’s a good time to check out my latest adventures in health: LovingSuperfoods.com

Making the Law Of Attraction Actually Work … For You

Here’s another presentation I offered at the Addison Wellness Expo about fine-tuning your use of the Law Of Attraction to make it actually work for you. I love using metaphors to more easily integrate concepts. In this video the metaphor of flying and aerodynamics highlights the essentials of your LOA practice. Enjoy the ride!

The Law Of Attraction’s Secret Ingredient

In April 2009 I had a wonderful opportunity to speak at the Dallas Wellness Expo about the Law of Attraction’s Secret Ingredient.

This is one of those secrets that is better shared than kept hidden, so I’m happy to now share with you the video of my talk.

In this video I use an NLP technique called a Neurological Bridge. You can allow this video to help you automatically shift from doubt to confidence. Simply follow closely with your emotions what I am expressing with words and action.

See, hear and feel each emotional state as I move through them with you and notice how much easier it is for you to get quickly into the state of confidence.

Go ahead and watch this 25 minute video now:

Upgrade your Flash Player to version 8 to view this video! (Click here for the download)

And if you’re not yet in the state of confidence, keeping your dream alive, then get The Self-Esteem Playbook, along with the NLP Emotion Releaser guided visualization, to help you get confident and stay confident through every step of your journey.

You deserve to feel good every step of your path!

Stretch Your Vision Rubberband Into Your Future

I like to think that when you create an inspiring vision it’s like you are stretching a rubberband into your future. By placing your inspired, passionate vision in time you are stretching the rubberband from where you are now to where you desire to be.

As long as you keep your attention on the “where you desire to be” end of the rubberband you will naturally and easily snap yourself into that vision. However, if you start to feel doubt or in any other way lessen your attention and good vibration from where you desire to be, you are putting slack in your rubberband and essentially keeping yourself where you are.

To help you stretch your vision rubberband into your future, and keep it tight with good vibrations, I’d like to introduce you to a beautiful NLP guided visualization called Strategic Visioning.

You can download your audio version here:

http://www.catalize.com/catalize_strategic_visioning.mp3

(right click the link and select Save As to save it to your hard drive and play it from there)

In this guided visualization you step into all the details of your vision – seeing it, hearing it, and feeling it. Then you step out of the vision, but keep a picture of you in it so you have a snapshot of that moment when you arrived and you can easily recall all the good feelings associated with your vision being realized.

Then you stretch your vision rubberband by floating up into the air, above the stream of time, and drop your energized picture into the future date when you wish your vision to be fulfilled. And now you can relax and allow all the events and opportunities and people to flow into your life with perfect timing, knowing that your vision is complete.

I love this NLP guided visualization because you can use it over and over again, each time adding even more feeling and detail to your experience to keep strengthening the good vibrations of your vision rubberband.

Try it, and let me know how it works for you!

p.s. you may desire to use the Catalize Wheel of Life to help you create visions and intentions for every area of your life and then use the Strategic Visioning guided visualization for each area.

Gratitude and the Law of Attraction

My partner, Dan Coppersmith, and I had a fabulous, gratitude-full visualization workshop last week. Many thanks to those who attended for playing so open-heartedly with us!

We had a great discussion about the importance of sincere gratitude in attracting what you want in life – and especially how to avoid the “but” thoughts that sometimes follow gratitude for present circumstances. You know, “I like where I am now, but I would really like …”

Listen on to hear my recap and the valuable insights of how to use gratitude, the law of attraction, and even work around attracting money in your life by clicking this link:

An Example of Gratitude and the Law of Attraction

Wishing you much success and sincere feeling in your own gratitude and attraction proactices!

Realism or Optimism?

I just read this line in Esther and Jerry Hicks latest book, Money and the Law of Attraction:

Do not write your story like a factual documentary, weighing all the pros and cons of your experience, but instead tell the uplifting, fanciful, magical story of the wonder of your own life and watch what happens. It will feel like magic as your life begins to transform right before your eyes, but it is not by magic. It is by the power of the Laws of the Universe and your deliberate alignment with those Laws.

Now, I believe in this optimistic approach to life. I’ve found over and over again how much easier and powerfully effective it is to focus on what you want (the motivation of desire) than on what “is” that you don’t want and how to get around it (realism?). For the past couple of years I have chosen my daily activities by doing what feels good in the moment, rather than what I think I “should” be doing in order to get where I want to go.

From a Realism perspective, this Optimistic approach to life seems silly, ineffective, and ignorant. From a Realism perspective, you must look at your obstacles and your weaknesses and find a way around them in order to get where you want to go in life. From a Realism perspective, you must do what’s hard, and even struggle, in order to achieve the level of success you desire.

Many of us are brought up with a Realism perspective. As employees, as entrepreneurs, as kids and adults in our society, we’re all taught the motto “no pain, no gain”. And many of us live long lives of struggle with the hope that it will result in yummy results that we can enjoy sometime before we must struggle towards the next goal.

From an Optimism perspective (like this Abraham quote suggests), you don’t need to focus on your obstacles or weaknesses or what you think should be done in order to achieve what you want. You just need to focus on all the good feelings of your desire and let yourself be inspired to take action from that desire and trust it will end in good results. When you use this approach, there is never any struggle and you are enjoying life while you are moving towards your goal, not just for the brief moments after you’ve achieved it and before you set out for the next goal.

So, does this Optimistic approach really work?

Here’s an example from my own life that I feel proves it:

For the past year I’ve done only a few public speaking engagements, even though I knew that more public speaking had been proven by others to increase business. I didn’t want to do lots of public speaking because I didn’t fully enjoy it then. Essentially, I had some mental and emotional blocks that kept me from desiring that action.

From a Realism perspective, I had a weakness to overcome in order to achieve my goal

From an Optimism perspective, I wasn’t led by my desires in that direction (yet).

After a year of “knowing that public speaking would help, but not wanting to do it” I attended Chris Howard’s Presentation and Platform Skills Training. I had the option of attending this course the year before, but it didn’t feel good then – it felt like it would be a distraction from the other business-building activities I wanted to be doing.

So, when I did finally take the course, I was completely in the right state of mind to receive the valuable information and to apply it in such a way that I easily and effortlessly overcame my mental and emotional blocks to public speaking. Now, by acting on what feels good, I’m actually wanting to do more public speaking … and my business is structured to support it.

Could I have achieved all of this sooner if I had taken the Realism approach and focused in on fixing my weaknesses and “just doing it” anyway? Maybe, but it wouldn’t be a fun journey and that struggle might have lead me to drop my business vision altogether since it wasn’t enlivening anymore.

Did I get good results in good timing using the Optimism approach? You’re darn tootin’!

So, if you’ve been using more of a Realism approach, or you’re still surrounded by people who are touting the “no pain, no gain” theory, try your own test. Pick an area of your life to experiment in and just do what feels good, only focusing on what’s working well that you like and what you desire more of. And let me know your results!

The Science of Getting Rich, by Wallace D. Wattles

If you’ve seen or read The Secret, I’m confident you will enjoy reading this source book behind the Law of Attraction concepts. And if you haven’t seen or read The Secret, where have you been??

The Science of Getting Rich was originally published in 1910 when there was a flourish of New Thought activity. What I love about this book is that it’s a really simple, quick read that focuses your attention on how to use the Law of Attraction to create wealth.

Here are some of the key points that particularly struck home:

Keep your focus on that which you desire with gratitude and purpose to combat any fear or doubt.
It’s import to increase life for others – provide more usefulness than you receive in cash.
Do what you want to do because the desire gives you the power to do it, even if you don’t yet have all the skills.
Grow yourself where you are, rather than leaping into a new business if you still have doubts.

I also squirreled away some favorite quotes from the book:

“To think what you want to think is to think TRUTH, regardless of appearances. Every man has the natural and inherent power to think what he wants to think, but it requires far more effort to do so than it does to think the thoughts which are suggested by appearances. To think according to appearance is easy; to think truth regardless of appearances is laborious, and requires the expenditure of more power than any other work man is called upon to perform.”

“To permit your mind to dwell upon the inferior is to become inferior and to surround yourself with inferior things. … The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best; therefore it tends to become the best; it takes the form or character of the best, and will receive the best.”

“The grateful mind continually expects good things, and expectation becomes faith. The reaction of gratitude upon one’s own mind produces faith; and every outgoing wave of grateful thanksgiving increases faith.”

“Your part is to intelligently formulate your desire for the things which make for a larger life, and to get these desires arranged into a coherent whole; and then to impress this Whole Desire upon the Formless Substance [The Universe, God], which has the power and the will to bring you what you want. You do not make this impression by repeating strings of words; you make it by holding the vision with unshakable PURPOSE to attain it, and with steadfast FAITH that you do attain it.”

“By thought, the thing you want is brought to you; by action you receive it.”

“You will get rich most easily in point of effort, if you do that for which you are best fitted; but you will get rich most satisfactorily if you do that which you want to do.”

“Doing what you want to do is life; and there is no real satisfaction in living if we are compelled to be forever doing something which we do not like to do, and can never do what we want to do. And it is certain that you can do what you want to do, the desire to do it is proof that you have within you the power which can do it.”

“If you feel that you are not in the right vocation, do not act too hastily in trying to get into another one. The best way, generally, to change business or environment is by growth.”

“There is never any hurry on the creative plane; and there is no lack of opportunity.”

“When you make a failure, it is because you have not asked for enough; keep on, and a larger thing than you were seeking will certainly come to you.”

You can find ebook downloads of The Science of Getting Rich for dirt cheap, but if you’re like me and prefer a hard copy you can curl up with on the couch, I suggest you get the cheap online version from Amazon.

It’s worth having in your library for the larger perspective whenever you’re having doubts and for inspiration any old time. It’s in my library – and dog-eared too!

The Electronic Age of Visualization

Once you have created your vision, there’s nothing quite like color and images and even sound to make it come alive!

That’s why many people who do visualization practices prefer a “vision board”. Traditionally a vision board consists of pictures of what you want to attract into your life – most often pictures cut out from magazines and pasted onto tagboard.

I’ve gone that route too, but now I’ve found an even better path for inducing all the good feelings I associate with my visions. You see, cutting out pictures from magazines started to feel laborious for me, especially since I couldn’t always find pictures of what I was really looking for in life. I tried drawing my own stick-figure pictures, and that worked for a while, but now I’ve found an even easier solution.

After much research, I’ve chosen to use and support Vision Board Software created by OrangePeel. This software will let you upload any picture you want. It’s easy to find great pictures both in their library and online – just try a Google image search with the keyword of what you’re looking for.

After you’ve got an image loaded, you can associate a phrase and a key word with the image. For example, I uploaded a picture of me with a friend I met at a seminar who is really interested in the work Dan and I are doing on self-esteem. I associated the keyword “Attraction” and the phrase “Millions of people are seeking what I offer”.

You can load up to 200 of these picture/word pairings into one vision board, and you can create multiple vision boards. But here’s the really cool part … your picture/word visions will be dynamically displayed to you, on your desktop, as your screensaver, and even as little pop-up balloons on your task bar.

I love this software because it keeps my visions in front of me all day long, and keeps me feeling all the good feelings I’ve associated with my visions. Try it out … really, I think you’ll like it.

The Prosperity Game

I’ve been “proving the pudding” of the Law of Attraction lately by playing my very own prosperity game.

Instead of a shopping list, I’ve created a prosperity list of absolutely everything I think of that I want. The key to my prosperity list is that next to each item I put my value of the item in terms of the good feelings it brings me and any other ways it helps.

Here are a couple of examples to give you a sense of how it works:

Dill plant: My favorite cooking herb, attracts butterflies

Digital recorder: Ability to get our message out to more people, feel impactful

Costa Rica Vacation: Adventure, connection with nature, fun photography

As I record my wish list I am automatically, unconsciously prioritizing what to actively go after next based on how good it feels compared to the other items on my list. I’m also attracting everything on the list because I’m focused on how good it feels and I know that I can have anything on the list in perfect timing. I’ve already had some items come into my life without any other effort than adding them to my list!

Creating this prosperity list has also made the “things” only as important as the feelings I get from them. And, when I’m conscious of the valuable feelings at the root of what I’m wanting, I start to attract even more opportunities to have those feelings – with and without the “things”.

Try it out. I’d love to hear what experiences your prosperity game creates for you.
