Over the last few weeks I have been aware more so than ever about the Law of Attraction. In life, we are all thrown challenges and the important thing to consider is how we deal with the challenges set upon us.

Occasionally we may just want to run and hide however, this does not make the challenge go away. Facing a challenge head on is the only way to resolve it.

You may remember back a few months ago when I broke my wrist while trekking the Kokoda Track. This made me face quite a few challenges. Afterall, having the use of only one arm is something I have not had to deal with before. One very perfect thing that came out of my broken wrist was the fact that my youngest daughter found her independence as there were many things I could not do for her. The fact that she would be starting school next year was looking a little dubious because she was always a bit reserved and would be considered one of the youngest in her class, seeing her birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. Today, she wants nothing more than to start school and seeing how much she has blossomed over the last 4 months indicates she will do very well.

Aside from the broken wrist, I have also had to deal with a big corporation (who won’t be named here) who quite literally took some money (a large enough amount) from me for which I have never received any goods or services! I won’t go into the boring details here suffice as to say that when you think you are right and the universal powers seem to not work with you, you have to question why.

The reason I have come up with is because I did not pay attention and I ended up in a big mess. This mess is something that I know will be resolved soon due to legal proceedings and the fact that I have reversed my way of thinking towards it. I have taken responsibility for this and although it has taken plenty of hours of research, phone calls and emails back and forth, I truly believe that whatever the outcome is on D-Day, it will be for my benefit.

My friend Sean Rasmussen released an edited version of the famous Wallace D. Wattles classic The Science of Getting Rich a month a go and named it The Secret Law of Attraction which is available as a free download without any opt-ins so right-click on the image below to save it on your computer.

Reading this book has reminded me that we need only ask and take action towards reaching our goals and making the things we want to happen to us in life happen. Feeling victimized never helped anyone and once I got over the whole “oh woe is me” attitude to the challenges I faced, my whole life turned around.

You know, none of us are perfect in that we always attract the “right” things in life, and manifesting is something we do very well. We may not realize it however, everything that comes our way is because we attract it - good and bad - so as they say, be careful what you wish for. We can go for months on a high and everything seems to go according to plan. If we waiver even a fraction to feeling down and staying there, then all things seem as they are falling apart.

The important thing is to know what you’re thinking and how it makes you act and react to challenges. Coming from a place of love rather than hate makes the biggest difference in the world to the outcomes we achieve.

Another thing is not to keep things to yourself. Really! If you have a partner/husband/wife to share with do so. If it’s your brother or sister or other family member that you trust, do so. Sharing with someone close to you not only helps get it off your chest, but could also help you to see the situation in a different light. It can help you to see a clearer picture. Please share with someone you trust so that they can help you from a place of love. This is important as the last thing you need is to attract is more of the stuff that will not be beneficial to you.

Shit happens in life. It’s what you choose to do about it that makes all the difference. I can’t be more clear than this.

I will leave you to watch this video regarding the Law of Attraction in case you need reminding of how wonderful life CAN be.

Thanks to Sean Rasmussen, the Success Communicator from Sean Rasmussen Dot Com, I have the opportunity to use the word SEX together with the word SUCCESS in my blog post. I have been reading his blog since it launched and seeing as we are connected on BlogCatalog, I learned about a group he started so I have chosen to do a review.

Sean is passionate about mindset and motivation. Wealth education is also one of his favourite topics and that’s why I enjoy reading his blog.

So what does sex have to do with success I hear you asking. Sean has composed an edited version of the timeless Napoleon Hill classic Think and Grow Rich into his renamed version - Mindset Mastery which I have downloaded and read.


Mindset Mastery - the book

One of the chapters in the book is titled The Mystery of Sex Transmutation. This chapter is one that I have bookmarked and I think it would be of interest to all of you. I’m guessing that most of you, if not all of you reading this have a desire to have sex, so I wanted to talk a little about this and how the emotion of sex can channel that creativity in you.

The act of sex has behind it the possibility of three constructive potentialities, they are:

1. The perpetuation of mankind.
2. The maintenance of health, (as a therapeutic agent, it has no equal.)
3. The transformation of mediocrity into genius through transmutation.

Let me give a little explanation about sex transmutation before you go getting any funny ideas. It means the switching of the mind from thoughts of physical expression, to thoughts of some other nature. The mind responds to stimuli and given that the emotion of sex is such an irresistible force, it is also one of the greatest stimulants for the mind.

With there being an ignorance around the fact that sex is only a physical act, there have been many biased opinions thrown upon us. The fact is that when sex is harnessed and transmuted, this driving force is capable of lifting men and women into that higher sphere of thought which enables them to become masters of the tedious challenges which can potentially get in the way of creativity.

The emotion of sex contains the secret of creative ability. You have heard the saying that behind every great man, there is a great woman. Let’s use Napoleon Bonaparte for example. His first wife Josephine inspired him to be irresistible and invincible and when he put her aside, his decline was inevitable. Other men who fall into this genius category are Abraham Lincoln, William Shakespeare and Ralph Waldo Emerson, in amongst many others.

If you don’t want to rely on the biographies of men who have passed on, think of some successful living men and see if they don’t have a highly developed sexual nature. I will leave that up to you to research

Sex energy is the creative energy of all geniuses. There never has been or ever will be a great leader, builder or artist lacking in his driving force of sex.

Now what better reason would you need to have sex? Sex and Success are a proven combination over and over again. If you would like to read the whole book, Sean has made his Mindset Mastery e book available for immediate download from his site. There have already been more than 1000 downloads in the last 6 weeks and he has applied the principles of Motivation, Lifestyle, Self Improvement and Success in his own life over the last 4 years, which you will find are all covered in this book.

As Sean states on his site:

To enjoy the lifestyle, you need the mindset of someone successful. You are already successful. We all are! We just need to realize it and discover it within our own minds.

Dedicated to Success.

This last week has been rather busy keeping up with birthday parties and other family celebrations. In other words, I have been distracted in bringing chaos into order and I have not brought you anything new. Some of you may think that having an order for everything is the only way to live. Tell me if that is so. I would be interested to hear how you do it.

I have never been one for taking too much notice of authority, and not having had a structure in place for most things, (except for when I used to have a 9 - 5 JOB), I now find myself thinking that chaos could be a sign of intelligence searching for the right path.

My friends in the blogosphere have been a wealth of knowledge in regards to how to keep my blog on track and building a community and this is very important in standing out in the crowd. So much so, that I was tagged with another meme, and I regret to say that I cannot participate in this one. Not that there is anything that I don’t like about it, it’s just that I need to get back to the roots of why I am here, which is to give you something to think about and apply to your life, as long as it fits with you and where you are at.

Your Wish Is My Command

I look at this picture often and imagine myself there, just looking out at the sky filled with stars - shooting stars, big, bright stars - naming them. Remember back to the last time you saw a falling star. Did you make a wish. Did you share it with anyone or keep it to yourself.

I remember a couple of months back, I stepped outside into the back-yard one night to take out some recycling, and as I did, the sky above was very clear and I watched what looked like the biggest star in the sky falling down towards the earth. Just like the one in the picture here.

Everyone was asleep here, so I jumped online to find the first person I could to share it with. It was just amazing to watch and I made a wish. If you have seen The Secret, and I know many of you have, then you would remember that James Ray talks about Aladdin and his lamp. When the lamp is dusted off and the genie pops out, he only says one thing: Your wish is my command.

The story actually states that there are three wishes, but if you trace the story back to its origins, there is absolutely no limit. I often watch The Secret as part of my personal development. There are some things that stick and some that don’t, depending on when I watch it. I seem to always find some new comment that I have missed in previous viewings.

So I want you to think about the things that you DO want. When I say DO want, I mean that you DO want them. Whatever you think about, comes about, even if it is not what you want. If it is on your mind, the Universe cannot tell the difference. For example, if you say that you don’t want to catch a cold, guess what, you catch a cold. It has been on your mind. I have proven this to myself even. Yes, I do get it wrong too at times. During the winter here, everyone around me was catching the flu, and I kept saying, I never get sick… I won’t catch the flu… and guess what… I caught the flu. The Law of Attraction was definitely at work then!

Okay, so think about what you DO want and imagine yourself already with that thing. Whether it be a holiday you want to take but have not set any plans in place as yet, or it may be a new outfit, tickets to a concert, a new laptop… what ever it is. The trick is to feel what it would feel like already having it. What would you say. Where would you be. What feelings will you feel. What is the date. These are all things that should be considered, and then write it all down on paper. As you are writing, feel those feelings, see yourself there, speak the words you would speak when you have it. This all helps in getting what you DO want. Hold the image of what you want in your mind. Express gratitude for having received it.

If it is a new house you want, be specific with how many rooms you want, whether it has a basement for storage. Do you want 3 bathrooms, 5 bedrooms, surround sound system wired through every room. Is it a multi-level home on land with a lake for swimming or a swimming pool in the back-yard. Then search for houses like this that are up for sale and when you find one with your specifications, go and inspect it, walk through the house and feel like it is yours. Where would your bed go. How will the living room be furnished. Have these images in your head and put out the feelings you will feel knowing you have it.

My wish for you is that you put these principles into action. Start big or start small. Write down a list of what you want and get busy feeling the abundance that the Universe has for you. It is a natural law and you deserve everything that you want out of life. You have the power. Use it as you see fit.

Dedicated to Success.

Better indeed is knowledge than mechanical practice (of religious ritual). Better than knowledge is meditation. But better still is surrender of attachment to results (of one’s actions), because there follows immediate peace.

Bhagavad-Gita

I don’t know about you but I seem to get so busy at times that I almost forget to breath. Taking time out in our daily lives for a little quiet meditation is a way for us to look inside ourselves and listen for messages from our hearts and minds. It seems that we are constantly looking outside of ourselves for ways to improve but wisdom comes from within. We have all the answers that we need and taking time out for meditation and just listening is a way to find these answers.

If you are not familiar with meditation, it does take some time to actually get it and to be able to sit or lie still in a place where you will not be disturbed. I found it difficult at first to just be and not let thoughts run through my head. There are some forms of meditation whereby you listen to different levels of frequency to bring you into an alpha state so that your awareness of surrounding expands and you feel fully relaxed. Another way to learn to meditate is to stare at the flame of a candle and get into a trance-like state so that it clears your mind which then enables you to find the answers that you are searching for from within.

The best time to practice meditation is to make it a part of your morning routine. When you awake, a glass of water is a good way to re-hydrate your body after you have been sleeping for some hours as is some stretching for about 5 - 10 minutes to get your blood flowing and keep you limber. Doing this makes you feel alive after some deep slumber so it is a good practice to get yourself ready for meditation.

If you are new to this concept, just try it for a 30 seconds to one minute to start with and build on this adding more time each day.  I found this was a good way for me to learn as I tend to let my mind wander with all the tasks that I need to accomplish for the day and wonder how on earth I will fit everything in.  We all have busy schedules and taking some time out first thing in the morning is a great way to get you through the day.

Following your meditation, another thing you could do is to have a journal that you write your thoughts in day to day.  There are no rules for what you write down.  This is also a way to let things out that you may be holding onto and you will be surprised at how the ideas and answers come to you once you have written them on paper and not typed it into your laptop, LOL.  The power of simple writing is a wonderful gift to release any fears or jot your thoughts for clarification.  Even business ideas or topics for articles you want to write about on your blog.

Your journal could also be where you write down things that you are grateful for.  If you list just 5 things everyday that you are truly grateful for, this puts you in a wonderful and happy state and sets your mood for the day.  Remember in The Secret movie that if you start your day off on the wrong side of bed, it starts a pattern for the day that will continue until you change your thoughts.  Instead, if you have a morning routine that starts your day in a state of peace and gratitude, that is what you will get for the rest of the day which is what the Law of Attraction is all about. 

If any of you have more suggestions or would like to tell me your thoughts on meditation, do not hesitate to leave me a comment.   I would be more than happy to hear from you.

I want to leave you with this short Angel Meditation video with thanks to Kathy Pinna to get you into the mood and start thinking about starting your own routine.

Blessings come in many forms and when you are blessed, it is appropriate to celebrate as they are gifts to you. When you choose to be open and receive blessings, your perspective of life is changed for the better. When you are in alignment with what the Universe is bringing you, you will be pleasantly surprised at what shows up.


Law of Attraction

Last night I was involved in a group conversation and the Law of Attraction was one of the topics of course. I will share a story with you.

Amber was tired of driving around in her bomb of a car and really wanted a 4WD. A mutual friend told her to just imagine that when she was driving around to feel like what it would be like to be in a 4WD and believe that her car was actually a 4WD… not any particular model, just a 4WD. So every time she would jump into her shitty little car, she would sit with her head held high and it felt great.

About three months later, her parents told her that they didn’t want her driving around in an unreliable car so they gave her $30,000 to go and buy herself a new car and off she went to buy her 4WD. She didn’t have to save for it or even know how it would be possible, just believing and feeling what it would be like brought the car to her.

So today, I want to share this short movie with you. This movie has touched many people over and over again and I just couldn’t put it any better than to just show you.

The May You Be Blessed site is wanting to reach 1 billion people with this movie by October 18th 2008, so go and watch it and pay it forward to all your friends. It will make your day.

Count Your Blessings
