Motivational Whisperers

I watched The Secret several years ago, and (like so many of you) immediately wanted to learn more about the Law of Attraction. I was fired up and inspired knowing that we have the power to create our ideal lives simply by changing our thoughts. Wow. Amazing. An aha moment for sure.

I  began focusing on my thoughts and being more aware of whether they were the types of thoughts that I wanted to be having. Would I be thinking these thoughts in my ideal life? And if not, I would concentrate on creating them – happy, positive, loving, inspired thoughts.

I was truly ready to change my life. I was excited to create my new life – filled with only great people, things, and thoughts that I had attracted into it.

Like most of us, I had such good intentions. I though I really gave the Law of Attraction a real go.  I had a partner who was right there with me, I had supportive friends and family cheering me on. But things didn’t change – at least not as quickly as I hoped they would. And I became discouraged. Why was it taking longer than I originally planned? Why wasn’t I attracting the wonderful life that I wanted?

And years later, I am realizing that the Law of Attraction is a natural law. We are constantly attracting into our lives things we thingk about whether we are aware of it or not. When I worry about not having enough money, I am attracting not having enough money. When I say my affirmations, but then immediately go back to allowing my inner critic to run the show, I am attracting more of this negative self talk.

When I dream of the life I want but don’t take any concrete action to create this life, I am attracting more of the same into my life – more dreams, but nothing tangible.

Wow.

The Law of Attraction isn’t magic (although it feels that way sometimes). It is occurring all around us each and every day – it is a natural universal law. We have the choice to create our best lives by working with this law instead of against it.

If we want to live the life of our dreams, we have to be conscious. We have to be aware of our thoughts, our limiting beliefs, and our saboteur. We must begin to take action toward creating our ideal life.

Look at your life right now. If there is any part of it that you aren’t happy with, take a moment to realize that you created it. Your thoughts and actions put you right where you are today. This is a tough one to realize because it’s hard to imagine that we wouldn’t automatically create a wonderful life for ourselves.

But know that you do have the ability to create this life – it’s never too late to start.

I am doing this exact thing for myself. I am constantly going back to my thoughts and making sure they are the types of thoughts that I want to be having. When I catch myself worrying about something, I try to stop it as quickly as I can and switch to an empowered thought.

I try to take action steps toward my dreams – meeting the universe half way. I take a look at my limiting beliefs and counter them with abundant beliefs. And if I fall off the wagon, so to speak, I pick myself right back up and begin again.

Creating your ideal life through the law of attraction is a conscious choice, and it takes constant practice. But I know that it works – I have seen amazing changes already in my own life due to simply changing my thoughts and beliefs. I know that we each have the power within us to do this – so let’s just do it!

In these challenging times the principles for manifesting abundance need to be honed, shared and practiced more than ever.   The Law of Attraction and related teachings, including those found in EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) 

 State the importance in being specific in what you ask for.  For instance, the naming of the area in life or career that you are interesting in manifesting abundance in, with specific intentions as to what you are seeking will facilitate the process. 

Your  intention for manifesting abundance must be high energy with positive words and images and may include specific numerical figures.  The importance of using high energy positive language is because your subconscious  picks up on the negative word, no matter what context you use. 

We manifest abundance by letting it in and releasing resistance which may show itself in the form of fear, anger and shutting down.   The process is similar to prater, with more personal involvement.  We must be aware and alert to change and notice when circumstances/conditions are right for manifesting abundance- and then take action!

 Here are a few "mantras" that can be used with visualization:

• let abundance into the area of...
• allow $$ __ to flow freely into my life..
• allow love into my life and allow me to send it out
• allow me to stay focused in my ___ work..

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a technique-tool for manifesting abundance.  An example of an effective set-up phrase with the EFT "choice method":

"Even though I am struggling with financial issues, I choose to manifest abundance in the form of  attracting several(  2-5) thousand dollars per week into my career."

After tapping the points for three sets you will notice your perception of the concept of manifesting this specific abundance skyrocket!!

Since I've been been meditating and tapping with the art of manifesting abundance, I've seen amazing results as have my clients.  It is equally important to surround yourself with supportive, high energy, positive people!

If you believe all this is true and find yourself procrastinating in taking steps to manifest abundance, then it is a sign that one or more of these fears are influencing you:

• fear of judgement
• fear of failure
• fear of success
• fear of being controlled.

 View to overcome procrastination and  start manifesting abundance now!!

I have just become aware of an amazing astrological aspect which will occur on the early morning of July 5^th.  An optimistic placement of Venus combined with the Sun glints off nearby Sirius, the Moon, Jupiter and Mercury looking on adoringly.  You may not know much or even anything about astrology, but this heavenly combination creates the possibility of pure manifestation. 

 This alignment of planets is all about victory, overcoming obstacles and gaining wisdom.  If you know what it is your crave most, this is when the Universe will hear you.  If any of you out there are action people (as I am) and are willing to improve the quality of your life, this is the time to do it.  Spend a few minutes the evening before thinking about what it is you want and writing it down; and don't limited yourself to just one aspect of your life, go for it all and then wake up Tuesday morning trusting that the Universe will do everything it can to help you.

 In honor of this auspicious event, I am offering a personal clarity session at half price.  This is an ideal opportunity to get complete clarity about what you want so that you can wake up on the morning of July 5^th knowing that you can relax and let the Universe provide you with your heart’s desire; and if you are already completely clear about what you want but maybe have a hard time trusting that you will get it or even that you deserve to get it, then for the same special price, we'll do a trust session.

But hurry, because there isn't much time and my available time is beginning to fill up and this offer is only good for sessions through July 4^th.  Email me at newhypnotherapy.com and we’ll get your session calendared.
