As you continue working on your 2015 inventory, think about this saying. I know it’s had meaning for me. But, I have to believe that things are falling into place even when I can’t see what that place is.  I think that’s the problem. We always want to be able to see what’s coming up so we can decide if it’s what we want or not…That’s kind of funny as I write it. That approach is NOT one of faith, nor does it say we have much confidence in our ability to work with the Law of Attraction.

This saying fits quite well with “Everything always works out for me” because if I know that everything is always going to work out for me, then I know that no matter what is happening, it is for the good. It is falling into place. It may not be a place I predicted but remember that when we place our order we should NOT be outlining – outlining is telling the Universe how we want something to occur. Our job is just to “place our order” and then let the Universe find the best way to deliver it. Often times, we don’t do a very good job of “placing our order” – maybe this is  a good time to briefly review what you have to do to get the order actually placed in the Universal Catalog.

• Decide what it is you actually want. Sometimes this is easier to do by simply listing what you don’t want and then describing the opposite. Make sure that it resonates with you deep inside.
• Be specific about what you want – go into great detail (this is one of the reasons I’m having you write your script for next year – so you can list the details). For example, you can’t just say you want a “lasting relationship” or an “intimate relationship” because you could have either of those with an abusive criminal or someone who hates everything you like.
  • Write out the specifics and go into the greatest detail you can.
  • Always end with “this or something better”
• Read the list over again and make sure it’s really what you want.
• Do NOT allow yourself to be swayed. When you do that, you’ll never get what you want.
• Do NOT doubt that you’ll get what you’ve asked for – no matter how long it seems to take (remember the Law of Gestation).

Place your 2016 order now!

I told you last week that I was going to concentrate on you preparing your life for 2016 pretty early. Of course, if you listen to the music in the stores now, it’s not too early (I couldn’t believe that the day after Halloween they had Christmas music on already – why couldn’t anyone create Thanksgiving music?).

There are various parts to preparing for the new year.

Today we’ll start with the inventory phase.

1) You should start listing all the things that went on in your life this past year. I like to do that periodically through the year but it’s definitely important now. You can make simple lists of what happened. You can elaborate as much or as little as you want. The point to this list is to help you remember what you experienced and this includes emotions and thoughts. Did one event seem to lead to another? Did you get “down” on yourself or even in yourself because of one or more events? What did you do to get out a funk if you were in one?  Eventually you’ll be using this list to figure out what you want to change for next year.

2) Once you’ve made your list, go back through it and simply put a plus or a minus by each item on the list. Plus means it was  a good experience. Minus means that it wasn’t as stellar as you would have liked. If right now you feel neutral about it, then you can put both a plus and a minus.

3) Go back through the list and see if any of the events led to the next (or another one down the list); kind of a domino effect. If they did, draw a line to connect them. More importantly see if the plus/minus designation is the same for both.

4) If the plus/minuses are the same can you remember what thoughts and emotions you had during these times? This is important because you want to see if there is any connection in your vibrations or if you were successful in recognizing that you needed to change your thinking and then you did so.

5) Can you recognize any patterns? Where there repeated successes? Failures? Illnesses? Injuries?

6) Take another piece of paper and write down the themes you see.

7) Once you have the themes listed, determine if they are patterns you are happy with or not. Mark them on the sheet or put the ones you’re happy with on one side and those you’re not happy with on the other side.

8)Read the lists over again and determine what you want to change; or, what you want to have more of next year.

9) Go through each of the themes and see if you can identify your beliefs (limiting or not) that worked to bring these events into existence or at least what beliefs affected the outcome.

10) How did the Law of Attraction come into play with these events?

Keep reviewing this list for a few days before we go on to phase 2.

Go ahead and get started. Hopefully you’re like me and write everything down on a calendar that you can use for reference.

“Impatience is a sign of hurrying, hurrying is a sign of worrying, worrying is a sign of fear, and fear is a sign that someone has temporarily forgotten that it’s never too late to change their thoughts and, therefore, their ‘things.'”

It’s funny how the Universe likes to play ping-pong with us, trying to get us to slow down and pay attention. It bounces a ball toward us and  if we don’t “get it” and make an appropriate move, it repeats the same motion – only this time in a different direction. It behooves us to realize that we are being sent a message and stop in order to process what the message is. I can tell you from experience that if you don’t slow down (stop hurrying) and listen up, more “stuff” will be sent your way. It’s as if the Universe is realizing that it has to hit you over the head to get you to realize that you’re missing something.

When we feel calm, there should be no worry or fear. If you make vows to change your thoughts, then you’ll be able to slow down.  Remember the law of gestation, though. You have to realize that some changes take more time than others and there is not much you can do about that. But the one thing you have to do is NOT give up because whatever you’re looking for didn’t happen to come your way in the exact time frame you want. That’s where many people go wrong. They give up too soon. Your job is just to change your thoughts and keep your vibration on the right plane so matter how long it takes. Do NOT question the amount of time that seems to go by without the results you’re hoping for.

For the past almost 5 months now I have been focused on NOT being able to run. Even with my experience in metaphysics I didn’t realize what I was doing. First, I was creating more lack (lack of running ability) so, of course, my body couldn’t heal properly to get me back out there. Secondly, my inappropriate focus was bringing more problems that I couldn’t figure out. At least I was savvy enough to know that there was some message in all of this but for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out that message. Until this past week when many things seemed to come down at one time.

As a result of a very scary week, I finally realized that I was bringing all this stuff into my life. I also realized what’s important to me – helping other people is my main purpose in life. That can be done in several ways but I must concentrate on that. And since I want to be able to help others, I have to be healthy. So, I have to change my thoughts and feelings to align with health. I was not doing that. I was too “worried” and “impatient” about what WASN’T happening in my life.

Things change and I know that “everything always works out for me”. I just have to stop trying to be in control of everything (i.e. the timeline for my recovery). Always remember the Law of Gestation in conjunction with the Law of Attraction. People don’t usually talk about the other Universal Laws. That is a mistake. The Law of Attraction is not the only law. Everything has to be in concert when you’re working with the laws.

Is there anything going on in your life that is trying to send you a message? Have you stopped to figure out what that message is? Why don’t you try it – especially as we come toward the end of the year. What has happened in your life this year and what has it been trying to tell you?

No, you can’t add the intermediate “uncertainty” because that’s not really an intermediate – it’s a form of resistance.

When talking about Universal Law and when talking about life in general, you are either accepting something or resisting it.  Life goes much better for you when you accept things. Even if it’s a less than desirable “item” it’s best to accept it. Then you can change it to whatever you want.

Awareness and recognition are such important qualities when it comes to this topic. If you are aware that you are resisting something, you can then make a decision to change that state (the state of resistance). Once you recognize what it is you are  REALLY resisting, then that makes the change so much easier.  Sounds complicated but the two do build on one another. Although you can be aware that you are resisting something and not know exactly what it is, usually the act of becoming aware is like turning your flashlight on low beam. You can begin to see some sort of outline and begin to identify the object.

Once you have a bit of light on the subject, it’s amazing how quickly definition and subsequent recognition follow. If you think about your own past experiences, you know that some definition even if not complete can lead you to identifying what something is. If it has the outline and positioning of a couch, you know that it probably is a couch. Sure, you may not know exactly what color or style it is, but you know what it is and what it’s for. That’s the kind of recognition we’re after here. Specifics will naturally follow since you’ll be adding more light as you pay more attention to the subject.

Acceptance of where you are and where you’ve been led is vital because acceptance will then decrease the amount of stress in your life. Even when there is a bad situation such as an illness or financial crisis, your stress level will decrease once you accept it. Most of the time we have a great deal of stress because we don’t know what’s going on or what we’re going to be able to do about it. However, if you sit back, take a deep breath and accept that it (the situation) is here in your life, then you can relax a bit. Once you tell yourself “ok, I am having this problem – that’s a fact. I accept it. Now I shall go about dealing with it and changing the outcome using the Law of Attraction.” No one is saying that acceptance means you’re happy about the situation. Sometimes I think people feel I’m saying that. It’s simply an expression of fact. Sometimes just the act of acceptance will even ease the situation. If you continue to worry about what a particular symptom (or situation) means, then you attract more of the same and things feel worse and then get worse. Take a sore throat for example. If you continue to worry about that sore throat and then find the swollen glands in your neck and worry about them, then you are liable to jump to the next conclusion – that you have a cancer of the lymph nodes. This is even worse if your best friend is Google.

If you, instead, simply say “I have a sore throat. I will either wait a few days to see if it gets better or I’ll call a doctor and I’ll get better soon.”, you’ve stated a fact (you have a sore throat) and you’ve listed two decisions you can choose from (wait or call the doctor). You’ve also made another decision (that you’ll get better).  You’ve moved forward out of the worry spin cycle and are into the positive action mode. In a few days if you’re still having a sore throat, you don’t get panicky because that was a choice you made recognizing that you might or might not get better and low and behold you have NOT gotten better so you now will call the doctor. There’s no going round and round about having cancer or some other immune disorder or ebola or something else weird. You’ve remained calm throughout all of this. No one is saying that you’ve felt ok because the fact is you still have a sore throat. But, you have remained calm and been able to stay alert and focused in the positive direction of decision making. In so doing, you’ve worked the Law of Attraction to your benefit and your emotional agony is minimized. When you clear yourself of as much emotional excess as possible, your thinking process is much clearer. I don’t want to go into this today but EFT is a phenomenal way to help clear that emotional excess or baggage.

All I ask is for you to stop each time something happens and ask if you are accepting it or resisting it. Just doing that will lead you along the rest of the path now that you’ve been exposed to it. See how your outlook changes when you do this. See how your life changes too.

The post Acceptance or Resistance first appeared on Getting Unstuck, LLC.

This probably should have been titled “Who’s in your mirror?” but I wanted to follow the trend of “What’s in your wallet” so humor me.

It’s so important for us to be able to see ourselves as we really are. And by this I mean beyond the external looks. So many people are hung up on their weight or the way their noses or mouths or any other body part looks.  Be honest with yourself right now – what are your thoughts when you look in the mirror? Do you thank the Universe for your  body? I would bet that the majority of you will say “no” if you’re honest with yourselves.

Why not? Why don’t we express our thanks for the wonderful vehicle our souls and minds get to move around in? Because of society and the mass compulsion (in the U.S. anyway) with looking a certain way, weighing a certain weight, having a certain color of hair etc. When people talk about what’s attractive, these physical characteristics are what’s mentioned first and I imagine figure predominantly in most people’s thoughts.

I’ve always said that we’d be much more tolerant and more of a loving population if everyone were blind. Then you couldn’t make your judgments based on the way something looks.

Can you practice “looking” at people beyond their exterior? Think about people you meet and ask yourself if you’ve already made a judgment because of their weight, their features, the way they dress etc.  If you have made a judgment of that nature, revisit that opinion and see if you can change it based on something else.  I had an experience a month ago while waiting for a doctor’s appointment in a crowded waiting room. I asked if I could sit down next to this woman who was overweight but as soon as she smiled, it was as if she could mesmerize the entire room – it was such a magnetic smile that I will NEVER forget it. It’s that type of characteristic that I want you all to find in everyone you meet – even if it’s for just a day, or maybe just an hour. Are you willing to try that?

I’ve been at a conference all week and I have practiced this technique. I look at everyone who comes into my field of vision and I look for a smile, a turn of the head, a word, the depth of the eyes..anything other than their external appearances. It’s been a wonderful experience.

The other thing you should practice at least once a day is to thank God (the Universe, Buddha, whomever you wish to thank) for all of your body. Your heart beats so many times a minute EVERY SINGLE minute. It doesn’t get depressed and want to sleep all day. It doesn’t “give up” (unless you have heart disease) and just stop doing what it’s supposed to do.

What about your legs? Do you thank the Universe for them? They move you around. Even if you have arthritis, they still get you around. And the arthritis is telling you something too.  It forces you to slow down and pay attention to things around you.

Your body is wonderful and you should bless it! Thank it! Who cares what it looks like? Does it do everything it’s supposed to do? Then you should acknowledge it. Think about your job. Do you know anyone (or maybe it’s you) that quietly goes about their business doing everything they are supposed to do day after day and never get any acknowledgment? This is no different. That person will eventually get worn down. But if they get some kind of recognition, they get energized again. If you thank your body for the great work it’s been doing, there is  a much higher probability that it will continue to bring you more of the same health and well-being. I think that is often the cause of some of our illnesses. We just disparage our bodies so much, that we attract more of the bad things we are thinking or saying. Do you ever say “I hate the way I look? or “I hate being old”? “I hate being fat”? Any of these are generally accompanied by strong emotion when you’re thinking or saying them. That strong emotion is what attracts more of the same emotion to you – more hate and dislike – and discontent. Do you want that? If not, start loving your body and see what happens.

Try these experiments this week!

The post What’s In Your Mirror? first appeared on Getting Unstuck, LLC.

Law of Obedience

This is listening to the still, small voice within; listening to hunches; listening to teachers and not listening to other people’s opinions.

Remember to look at facts first. When you are looking for something that you want to do, you are asking for something, you have to look at the facts. Someone will say “these are the facts. It’s going to take you X number of hours in school to learn to do this.” Or “You have to have a backer for this thing you want to do.” You agree with all these because they are statements based on facts.

However, facts are based on opinions. They may or may not be true. If you believe them to be true, then you are accepting the authority of somebody else who has opinions of limitation or lack. This is a big thing you have to learn. You don’t listen to anyone else. You know that you and God, you and the divine substance, can do anything. The only limitation is your belief about this thing.

If you believe there is no limitation, that this divine substance flowing in and through you gives you the ideas and the way and the means and the health and wholeness, then you don’t listen to anyone else.

The key is listening to that still, small voice inside that says “Yes, you can! Sure you can!” And not listening to all of the people who say you can’t.

If you’re getting instruction and you disagree with this inner or outer instruction, for example, if you were to go to a lawyer and ask “how should I be doing this?” and he gives you a whole lot of rules and regulations on what you have to do first and second, then you have to make a decision. “Do I want to listen to him? Or do I believe that I don’t have to do all of those things?” When you get that belief that you don’t have to do them, then those rules and regulations are not always there. Other things can come into play.

The good ole standby is “Show me the way!” Whenever you say that, something or someone will show up and give you a message/sign. Do not listen to yourself or to others that say “you can’t”. If you still think you can’t or don’t want to do something, then just put it on the shelf and let it go. Very soon, you’ll get insights on why, when, what and how. Don’t argue. Just say “when I’m supposed to know it, I’ll know it”.

 Law of Transgression

Everything that you have ever done against your fellow man must be wiped out, righted, paid in full or transformed. What you ahve done to others, you have done to yourself. This also comes under the law of justice. You do things that hurt others. Say “I apologize. I didn’t know what I was doing.”

It’s a good idea to watch your tone of voice too. Sometimes you can be harsh when you don’t intent to be. Most of the time, the intent that comes in is a lesson in growth.

You can put delays in by believing in delays. You can put interferences in by not clearing yourself from some of your past experiences. Then when you realize that this apology needs to be done – even if it’s a general one. You do whatever it takes to make things right! You do not have to go directly to the person because sometimes you can’t. You can also write them letters even if they have passed on. They will still get it.

Twice a week spend a few minutes and review “have I done anything this week that would delay my next step in my Divine Plan?” Learn to be alert. Learn how your actions affect another person. If another person reacts to you and your tone of voice, it’s time to bite your tongue and say “oops, I don’t want to get caught like that.”

 Law of Grace

This is the one we’re all reaching for. It’s living in the presence of total, complete, infinite love. It’s giving love; it’s receiving love. You have no negative thoughts, words or actions. You become master of demonstration and manifesting. Things become instantaneous. When there is only love, that’s when we demonstrate all the time.

The Law of Grace supersedes all others. You’ll be a ta place where you just say “I choose…..” And it will happen. There have been very few people who could do this.

You use this law by practicing non-judgment in all things. That’s how you get there. Once you get there, you don’t practice anything. You just know that you’re a loving person.

Be attentive to what you’re giving out. Make sure you’re giving only love, peace and harmony. Declare everything good, whether you believe it or not; whether it appears on the surface to be good or not. Declare it good so that it will become good very quickly.

Know that you are the authority. You are the agent. You are the comptroller and you have access to all that you choose to have.

When you start working with non-judgment you start by saying “gee, there’s another way. I’d like to see what it is.” If you can get away from judgment, not using the words “good” or “bad” but just recognizing that this is an energy and people make it one way or the other and begin to see people as this oneness that we keep talking about, then that oneness becomes everything good.

In reaching the point of non-judgment, you realize that all judgment is based on somebody’s opinions that may or may not be accurate. We’re told how to think. You’re told how to live. This includes everything from government to people to situations, everything. Hair color, skin color, the size of your nose – this is all judgmental and has nothing to do with the inner self.

When you reach the point of the Law of Grace, you will love, appreciate, be kind to others. You’ve given up gossip. You’ve given up problems. You have perfect health and wholeness and life in any and everything you do.

Keep all the laws in balance. AS you’re learning these laws, learning the positive words and giving up the negative ones, you’re giving up what’s wrong with the world and what’s wrong with people. You’re not making those kind of decisions – the ones that aren’t yours to make.

Stop the gossip, stop talking about people. Gossip is sometimes the good as well as the not-so-good. Sometimes you get into other people’s business. It’s not really yours to get into.

Bottom line – have praise and appreciation. Create good in everything you do. Prove that you can do the impossible. Prove that you’re a genius. Prove your ability to tap into the wisdom of the ages. Who do you prove it to? Yourself, the God of your being!

So endeth the discussion of these spiritual laws – go forth and practice them! (Sorry, I couldn’t resist)

The post Influential Laws That Govern Your Life – Part 16 first appeared on Getting Unstuck, LLC.

Law of Action

This is what so many people neglect. After you set your goals, after you make your decisions, after your claiming, then you bring in the Law of Action.

You use it by deciding what steps to take. How you can make these decisions. How you can make affirmations and visualizations. How you can sometimes make a treasure map. You’re doing something!

Once you have done that homework, then you do whatever is put in front of you. It may be a telephone call. It may be writing a letter. It could be just making a connection with people.

You’ll find out that once you have put it in mind, you have placed it in Divine Mind – then you attract it to you under the Law of Attraction – you’ll attract the people, the situation, the ideas. They all come to you. It’s amazing how you can think of something and then a person helps you with it or gives you the ideas or teaches you how or gives you the inspiration. It just happens.

I knew I was going to come back to San Antonio even after 20 years away. For some reason whenever I talked to my friends about wanting to start a particular charity and people would ask me where it was going to be, I answered “somewhere in Texas”. Mind you, I was in Washington, DC at the time, still in the Navy and not knowing what was next or where it would be but that’s the answer that came out of my mouth. I had wanted to return to San Antonio since I was there 20 years prior.

 The Law of Use

This is simple. It’s like muscles. If you don’t use it, you lose it.

If you’re not using any of these laws, it’s like having to start all over when you go back to it. When you realize that something’s not happening in your life because you neglected some step, you go back and say “Ok, I forgot that one.” Or “I didn’t use it”.

If you have neglected to use one, it’s just like you have to start on that one all over again. You have to sit down and say “Remind me now of what it is that I am supposed to be doing with this. Which one did I goof up on or didn’t use?” In addition, if you’re not careful with the laws, you’ll get things you didn’t want.

You have to put wisdom into something. Before you even begin to ask for it you say “why do I want it?” For example, people say they want a Rolls Royce but don’t even think about where they are going to put it. You can’t put a Rolls out in the front street. If your garage is already full of garbage and things from last year and the year before, you don’t have a place to put it. Would you really want to leave your new (maybe even free) Rolls in the street?

You use wisdom. That’s omniscience.

You use the Law of Use when there’s a delay. Something is missing in your asking. There’s something you neglected to become aware of. There’s something you neglected to plan, or you neglected to eliminate something in your life beforehand. You know if something’s missing because it takes a long time to get it.

One of the biggest things you have to eliminate before you even start with the laws is all the excuses you give yourself for not having something. You do that to yourself.

If you start off with “why can’t I have something and what I have to overcome”, then it’s going to take a very long time to make all these things work in you.

Examine what it is you think you can accept. Are you limiting yourself? Use your gut as a guide. How does it feel when you say you are worth x amount of money? Or worth having great relationships, etc. This is where the Law of Mental Acceptance comes in. How much good can you accept?

Once you’re clear about what you want and have no doubts, no questions, you know that it’s just making your mind up and making a choice. Then you have no limitations. You have no delays. There are blocks in your world because people have told you there are blocks and you believed them. In true spirit, there are no blocks.

When you constantly listen to people who tell you want you can and cannot do, this happens repeatedly. It also comes from your childhood.

The post Influential Laws That Govern Your Life – Part 15 first appeared on Getting Unstuck, LLC.

The Law of Justice

If you think there are things in your life that have been unjust, before you ever ask for justice to take place in your life, be absolutely ositive that you had no negative input into that situation.

Most things that you feel are unust are ones that you at least played a part in. You either created it or it’s a mirror image of something you are or aren’t doing. To ask for justice means it’s going to get you too.

Before you ask for justice, make sure that you have done whatever it takes in order to give you the freedom. Make sure you’ve given an apology. You don’t always have to apologize to somebody else. Apologize to yourself for having created the situation. Most of the time that works.

Recognition is 95% of the solution for anything you have ever done wrong, any hurts or harm. It’s acknowledging it within yourself. It’s the “oops” when you hurt someone without even knowing any better.

The Law of Justice is when you have not used your thoughts, words or actions to benefit yourself or others. You realize there is negative that will return to us if you call on the Law of Justice. You have to be sure that you had no negative input (which would be rare if you think about it).

You can use an overall apology “I regret anything and everything I have ever done to hurt myself or others”. This also helps prevent you from doing it again.

You use the Law of Justice to make amends – which is one of the 12 steps. You can apologize to them or to yourself because whatever you do to others, you do to yourself. We know that because we’re all one. When we hurt others, we also hurt ourselves. Be determined to have a greater awareness of how you affect others.

Very few people take deliberate action to harm others. When you hurt other people’s feelings, it’s a self-protection type of thing. You get them before they get you.

There are better ways to handle it, which will be brought to your attention once you begin to recognize these things.

The Law of Justice is good to use before the Law of Preparation. That’s when you are getting ready to do something, you start writing your list out and planning what you want to do and how you want to do it. Do your “homework” before you get started.

This is especially important if you’re starting something new. You say “I want to eliminate anything that could delay the thing I’m about to do.” That’s where a lot of times your demonstrations are delayed. It’s because you don’t clear out all the garbage before you start planning what you’re going to do next.

 Law of Approbation

This means you have to confirm, and you’re the only one that can confirm that these laws work. It’s proving the laws to yourself. Proving that you can do it. That goes back to Power and Dominion. You have to prove the law to yourself. There’s nobody else you can prove it to. You’re not going to believe it until you start making these things happen. You have to make things happen in your way, using the techniques that you learn.

The faith that you put into these laws is really important. Emmet Fox said “You make a choice of something you want to change and stay with it until it’s complete.”

When you’re working on these things make sure to add the word “permanent” in your statements – “I want permanent good relationships.” “I want permanent lavish supply”. Otherwise it will be an up and down situation.

As you begin working on something and concentrate on that area, eventually you will get to the law because you have used it you have made it work. Saying something a few times, whether it’s relationships or money or time or talent, is going to work for you very quickly and easily. You use it be proving to yourself that you can make something happen.

That is when the spiritual essence of you takes over and you become one with the qualifying thing that you’re trying to make happen. Then you keep it quiet. Give it a little bit of loving to keep it harmonized. Then you can use it as a story to help others believe.

You use this also with the Law of Mental Acceptance. You ahve to confirm for yourself that this law works.

Several of the laws are used together. This is why it’s so important to learn them and learn which ones relate to each other. It’s like they’re in steps. You can take one step and feed back to another. If you combine two of them, they work much more quickly than just doing one at a time and trying to prove it to yourself.

The preparation and realization of Mental Acceptance in conjunction with confirmation of the Law of Approbation means that you have proven both of the laws to yourself. You have mentally accepted it. You put it through the power that you know you’re in at the time because you are in this action of yourself.

You’re using this to make choices. You’re using the power of the will that God gave you for the things you want in you life.

God is not an errand boy! God is spirit’s substance. We are the hands. People are the hands, the voice, the feet, the ideas of God put into practice. When you are working in a partnership, you know that all of these laws are yours to use for whatever purpose you want to use them. You have already gained integrity, honesty and all these things!

This is a new series and will not necessarily be every week but when I have something that reflects what I teach here I have to share it.

You may remember that 1 1/2 years ago when I was worried and scared about doing my second 100 miler in just 6 weeks, I created and then got rid of low back pain. That showed me my power at that time…however, I obviously forgot that lesson.

I am scheduled to do a 100 mile event in Las Vegas over Valentine’s Day weekend. But since I’ve been trying this “Whole30” (http://www.Whole30.com ) program and my body has been switching to a “Fat burning” mode (no, not for weight loss but to get rid of my addiction to sugar), I have felt like my body had no endurance. Since the 30 days won’t be over until the day before the race, I’ve been questioning whether or not to do it (the race, not the program although I should have planned that one better too). So, the worry and concern (translate that into equaling FEAR) were there in my subconscious mind, marinading like a luscious meal.

This is actually very ironic/funny – Sunday I finally decided that I would implement this strategy for imroving your back health. I had a Varidesk that I bought over 8 months ago but never figured out how to really make it work. But Sunday I was determined!

I am pretty strong and it didn’t seem that heavy. But when I tried to move it from its storage place to my desk, I had to slide it on the tile. Not so bad. But then I had to lift it up onto the desk. I’m so short that when I got it to the desk level, it wasn’t going any further. I tried again. This time as I gave it my all, I felt my vertebrae move in my back. Down went the object and I just stood there wondering if I had done significant damage. When the dizziness passed, I realized I was not paralyzed but that I had hurt my back. As the day went on, the pain continued and increased. Etc…typical back pain scenario. Nothing special here.

What’s the lesson here? Even injuries can be brought on via the Law of Attraction. People tend to think that because it’s an injury, caused by an external event (“how can that be something I created?”) there’s no way you can attract it.

Let me ask you this – why did I decide on this particular Sunday, just two weeks from my event, to change my setup. Why not a month from now, why not a month ago?

My answer – because I wasn’t so focused on this race a month ago like I have been for the past 1 1/2 weeks since I felt my training had gone to pot.

I have to turn this around because there are upcoming events that are really important to me. Last year my fear (and stupidity in not following all the training rules I had ever learned) led to the back problem that interfered with my trek across Tennessee.

How am I going to turn it around? By using a variety of means. EFT, journaling and visualization as the primary means.

You might ask if I shouldn’t wait until my back is “healed” before I start all of that? The answer is a resounding “no”! The key is to identify what you have attracted into your life as quickly as possible and then take action to correct that. I almost immediately realized what I had done and so was able to start working on it Sunday. I am constantly amazed at the power of EFT to assist with, not only pain, but also the issues behind that pain. So, that is going to be my primary focus. What is it that’s going on deep inside that I keep repeating this pattern?

Stay tuned for those answers though.

Just remember that we attract EVERYTHING in our lives even if it seems ludicrous. Go deep – that’s my new motto – go deep within and you’ll eventually find the answers. Sometimes we have to be beat over the head to figure out the why and how but it’s there. I guarantee you.

Til next time….I hope this has helped you realize that all of us are subject to the same laws, even those of us who have studied and “worked” the laws for years.

Law of Realization

This is one of the laws we use the least but should use the most. There is more than knowledge. It’s a complete realization. It’s the flooding of consciousness, understanding that whatever you’re thinking about or whatever law is involved, it’s more than knowledge. You have to be doing it. You have to understand the principles that are in use. You have to use the principles totally and completely.

In order to understand something you’re talking about or something that’s new to you, sit down and identify your oneness with God. Identify that you’re one with this divine energy. Then say something like “reveal to me so that I can clearly understand the Law of Power (or the Law of Dominion or whichever one you want to learn about at that time).” There’s an asking and receiving in meditation.

When you go into meditation, you should always have a purpose. Your purpose is to understand whatever it is that’s not clear in your mind.

Sit down and say “reveal to me the truth about Power. Reveal to me the understanding of Power. Reveal to me what it is I need to know and feel”, because Realization is both feeling and knowing. It is complete within itself so you can say “Okay, I know what this is. I can feel it. Now I have to learn to put it into words.” This is just an example. You would substitute whatever it is you are asking to understand – or seeking clarification/realization about.

Knowledge is not realization. Understanding is not always realization. Realization is when you can get into words that have been spoken and put them into feeling. Without feeling, you don’t demonstrate. You don’t demonstrate out of knowledge. You have to get into the feeling, which is why you use a lot of visualization.

Consider this – go back over the laws and take one day – say “Reveal to me the Law of Consciousness (for example). Reveal to me what it means to me. Reveal to me how I can realize the wholeness of this spiritual law”. That’s the asking.

Then turn around and begin to receive. After you practice this a few times, it comes almost within minutes. You can do shorter meditations and more of them. If you sit for five or 10 minutes and nothing comes through, get up and continue your activities. Frequently when you stop wanting to hear or realize something, you can get up and go do something else. All of a sudden, the answers pop into your mind – “Oh, that’s what that means!”

Meditation should NOT be simply about blanking your mind. The first step is the identification with the spirit. Have a purpose. What is it that you want to realize in that moment of meditation? A moment could be two or three minutes or two or three hours, whatever it takes. I recommend you do 10-15 minutes at a time, then get up.

Use this at least once a day. Some insight, some idea, will always come to you at the least expected time. If you jot it down and then take five to 10 minutes to meditate and just say “show me”. Between then and the next time you sit down to meditate, you’ll get answers. A good time to do the meditations is just before you go to sleep. Say something like “Reveal to me how I can give my service in the most productive way.” You always want to ask for the most productive way, not the best or happiest. What you want when you’re asking for insights is the most productive way that you can learn it, then give it back out when you start teaching it to someone else. That’s the Law of Realization.
