The distance between what you want and what you have is merely a feeling. The more you feel that what you have is here already, the quicker it actually manifests.

Let us look at some information that I recently came across.

Your feelings reside in your heart and it is all about pure love. So entering into an absolute space of love about what you want is how you draw it to you. In addition, your emotions are what you experience emotionally in your lower three chakras. When you combine powerful, focused, intentional thought to your emotions, you create powerful life changing feelings in your heart.

Gregg Braden, “author of The Spontaneous Healing of Belief” tells us that our heart is 5000 times stronger magnetically and 100 times stronger electrically than the brain.

I venture to say that almost all of us, when we have a problem or want to manifest a solution, try to think our way into a manifestation. We consciously or unconsciously think along the lines of: “If I could only figure out what to do, I would be fine.” “Who can I call?” “What can I do?”

Well, with the information about our heart’s electromagnetic field being so much stronger than our brain, then let us try and problem solve from the heart and not the brain.

Remember, in a forming embryo, the heart is the first organ to be formed. Not the brain.

What has our electromagnetic field got to do with anything?

The Hubble telescopes records the electromagnetic field of the earth and NASA has been observing and charting out the patterns of the earth’s electromagnetic field since before 1990.

Well, they discovered that a couple of hours after September 11, 2001, the patterns on the charts changed dramatically, and further research indicated that the grief and agony that everyone was feeling in reaction to the planes flying into the the twin towers in New York, the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania was so dramatic that it actually altered the earth’s electromagnetic field.

Furthermore, Lynn McTaggert, in “The Intention Experiment” teaches us about the focused and concentrated power of Intention as it impacts the physical world.

Realize that the first step to manifesting anything is to “want” it. This may sound ridiculously simple, but many people do not actually enter into the experience of “wanting” when they identify something that they would like.

The experience of “wanting” is about being fully, 100 percent OK with the having of the thing that you want. You cannot be concerned what others would think. You cannot have the vibe of wondering if you deserve it or any other type of cross vibe.

You just have to simply enjoy “wanting” and receiving in whatever it is that you want.

How?

Through the experience of heart-swell.

It is important to be around like minded people that are able to support what you want. If you are not around like minded people, then find a community online. I find it is a powerful experience to use Twitter to state what your intention is and you find that others support you.

So put your intention around what you want out there. Speak it out loud. Write it down. Call someone and tell them. Put it on Facebook. Put it on Twitter. If you do not feel safe sharing it, no problem. Keep it private or just keep your statement online vague and say something like:” I would love if well intentioned folks would give me some support around something I want.”

Let us get into the experience of heart-swell.

Sit in a lotus position or any other comfortable position. Many studies have shown that healers emanate concentrated levels electromagnetic activity from their fingertips. Hold your hands up and imagine the vibration of the thing that you want, flowing into your fingers and zapping your body. Watch it and feel it go through each and every single cell of your body. Your body has 50 trillion cells and each cell generates almost as much electricity as a double A battery.

You feel the vibration of the presence of the thing itself as it flows throughout your entire body and finally focus on the heart. Just breathe into your heart and imagine the entire electrical and electromagnetic capacity of your heart welcoming the “thing that you want” and taking it in and receiving it. Just enjoy it and really imagine every single one of those 50 trillion cells with that much electricity and magnetic capacity, drawing what you want to you powerfully.

Let all your thoughts drop down into your heart area and swell and add to what it is that you want. Really allow your heart area to expand with gleeful joy and appreciation that you are an amazing person and that you deserve anything that you want and you are well loved.

Give permission to every single cell in your body to fully receive in what you want. Deliberately and fully appreciate receiving it and experience gratitude on a cellular level. Let your heart swell with the fullness and richness of having what it is that you want. Open your heart up, literally and  receive it in.

If something comes up that feels heavy or misdirected, a thought like, “I do not deserve that” or “it will never happen for me,” do not counteract it. Just let the heart-swell consume the thought and soften it up and allow it to disintegrate and become minuscule and eventually nothing.

Do this several times to allow your experience to emotionally move you.

Ahhh, the joy of receiving!

Ahhh, the bliss of heart-swell!

Practice often and as many times as you think of what you want.

This is a super manifestation tool. Use it.

His language around making choices and his sheer determination is inspiring.

Enjoy and leave your comments as to what you think.

Thanks.

Do you really know how to love yourself although you know how to love everyone else?

My client Isabel has been an awesome client. She shows up on time for her calls. She pays promptly and she works hard on personal development. She does not blame others for anything going on in her life. She likes her job but does not love it. She is deeply satisfied with her work as a volunteer with her local animal rescue league. She is single and feels lonely but she has made peace with this area of her life.

She started coaching with me because she felt all was well in her world but she did not feel fulfilled.

In our time together, I have noticed that so much is going well for her but she focuses her love mostly in an outside directional manner to others.  Every time I brought up the issue of self love, she glossed over it. She felt her self care was in order as she exercised often and got regular haircuts, manicures and pedicures.

Finally, she admitted it. She felt empty. She felt something was missing in her. She felt something was fundamentally wrong with her.

This was a great opportunity to open the door of self love.

As we talked about self love, it surfaced that this truly was a foreign subject to her. She really did not grasp it.

It was painful for her to acknowledge anything about herself. As we focused on what she did for others, it was clear that she considered these things her obligations. However, when we turned that obligation inward, and asked her about her obligations to herself, she was unable to see that her obligations to herself were beyond providing food, shelter, exercise and proper money management for herself.

This was her home work:

Make a list of all the wonderful qualities you want in a mate or qualities that you truly admire in others. For each of those items on the list, find that same quality in yourself and write a full paragraph about it.

When you write out the paragraph, let it flow. Write down everything that comes to mind   exactly as it comes to mind and sit with it and let the words speak to you. Acknowledge what it says about yourself. When you acknowledge those qualities about yourself, write down what feelings come up.

You cannot walk away from the exercise until you find and experience within you the fullness of what you are looking for in your partner or that quality in another person.

The first item on her list was that her potential partner must be intelligent.

So Isabel had to acknowledge within herself her intelligence.

She wrote a paragraph that went something like this:

“I am intelligent. Ouch! That is too hard. Ok, Ok. I am intelligent. I like being intelligent. Ok, I love being intelligent. I love how I like to read and how I create witty conversation about what I read. I love that I am not brainwashed by the news. I love that I am an independent thinker. Wow. This is deep. I really do see that I am intelligent. OK, how do I love this about myself? OK. I am intelligent. Wow. I love this about me. I love that I think critically. I know a lot of people who do not think. O, boy that is about other people, not about me. Back to me. I think. I like that. I really like that. In fact, I love that. Being a thinker helps me learn easily. OK, I am getting a hang of this. Learning easily means I listen better. I love learning so I listen so I can learn what I am listening to. OK, this means that I can focus on listening or reading. I focus. Wow. I like that I focus and I am not scatter brained.”

She then distilled out the wonderful things about herself that she learned in this lesson:

I am….
Intelligent
I think
I learn easily
I am a good listener
I focus well and in depth

She then let these words sink deep into her heart.

Here were her words describing how she fell in love with herself for the first time:

“Tears came to my eyes as I felt a swell in my heart. That is me. I am the one that is intelligent and thinking. I learn easily and I am a good listener and I can focus easily and in depth. That is a very awesome person. Wow. I am amazed that I discovered all that about myself. Phew. Gosh, I really am wonderful and I have deprived myself of knowing this about myself because I just never focused on myself and acknowledged myself. Thank you, Me!”

The following session, she informed me that she felt so calm and serene throughout the week and was able to find many more things she felt she was in love with in herself.

Interestingly enough, she did meet and flirt with two men that week that she felt were “remarkably intelligent.”

Interesting!

This is the law of attraction at work in a practical and personal way. As she focused on intelligence and love, intelligence and potential love showed up in her life.

What are the ways that you can fall in love with yourself today?

Do you have a favorite way?

How do you differentiate between external love and that internal falling in love with you?

Leave a comment about self love and the information here and you are showing yourself a lot of self love!

A challenge recently came up for her in teaching where she had very good clean energy. As she turned the corner from a place of strength in this area, it has spilled over into other areas of her life and she is gaining mastery over all areas of her life by using the Law of Attraction as a core self leadership skill.

Here goes……

Hello all,

Iyabo, my fabulous coach, asked me to share my law of attraction success story with you. So here goes!

First, a quick bit of background. I am in my fourth year of teaching kindergarten. Over the summer, I swapped school districts and moved into an at-risk school. Even though my heart was telling me this was the right move, I had many people warn me about the kind of students I would encounter. I knew I had to get my vibe right in order to prove them wrong. All summer long, with the help of Iyabo, I envisioned my perfect classroom. Kind, well-behaved students. Friendly, helpful parents. A colorful, well-funded classroom. When August rolled around, I found myself living my vision. Everything was perfect.

My co-workers were experiencing the exact opposite. Their students were (can I say this?) nightmares. In the hallways, my students followed behind me like perfect little ducklings. The other teachers looked like they were trying to herd chickens whose heads had been chopped off. (In fact, when I found myself low on caffeine, I may have visualized chopping off a few of their heads myself.) On the playground, my students played cooperative games while the other teachers’ students cooperatively tortured one another. One child in particular really drove everyone nuts.  He had been diagnosed with ADHD, and his mother made the decision not to treat it.

This kid made the other kids look like the baby Jesus. He was aggressive, violent, angry and compulsive. My first experience with C went something like this- He broke a rule. I asked him to “take a break.” He apparently heard me wrong and tried to break my leg. He punched me, spit at me, and rattled off some words I will be kind enough not to repeat here.

I went home thanking God that this kid wasn’t in my class.

On Friday, November 7th, I was notified by my principal that he was being moved into my room. I then began visualizing chopping off her head.

Over the weekend, I calmed down a bit. I had a coaching call with Iyabo that really turned things around. She reminded me that a five-year-old can’t really be evil. We got to work turning my vibe around so that this kid wouldn’t be met Monday morning with my negative energy. I began to visualize him fitting right in with the rest of my wonderful ones, paying attention, using polite words, learning to problem-solve. I went to bed early Sunday night (if I am sleep-deprived, my best intentions fly out the window). On my way to work on Monday, I prayed.

I told God that I truly believed this child was His, and that I knew God wasn’t looking down at this little boy thinking, “Man, what a brat.” I was. So I asked God to help me see C through His eyes. I then started affirming that we were going to have a great day. I pictured each part of the day, and I saw this little boy enjoying himself while following the rules.

Before he came over from the other class, I talked to my class. I told him how much I believed C would be successful in our class. I told them that he might need some help, and that we might need to be patient while he learned all of the rules and routines. (I also gave them permission to remind me to be patient if I needed it!) When he walked into my class, I greeted him enthusiastically with a genuine smile. Throughout the day, I explained to him what would happen next and what would be expected of him. I said things like, “I’m excited to see you walk down the hall quietly.” “Remind me what it will look like when I am talking and you are being a respectful listener.”

One of our biggest issues with C had been getting him to line up with the other kids when recess was over. I told him on the way outside, “I trust that you will line up when the whistle blows.” Well, when I blew the whistle, C (stuck in his role of the “bad” kid) would not line up. This did not fit in with my vision of what I wanted, so I ignored it completely. I lined my kids up, went inside, and buzzed the office. I let them know that he was outside, and they brought him back to my class. I went right into the lesson like nothing ever happened.

When the second recess rolled around, I took his hand and walked him to the pre-k playground, a much-smaller, “uncool” version of our playground. He was quite surprised. I told him calmly that until he earned my trust, he would have to play on the small playground. He wasn’t too happy, but he eventually played and when recess was over, we held hands while we walked into the building. I said, “C, next time I blow that whistle, what will you do?” His answer? “RUN FOR IT!” And that is exactly what he has done every time since.

It hasn’t been perfect, but I am telling you, this is amazing stuff. All throughout the day, I keep picturing him being successful. When he makes a mistake, I put all of my energy into the solution instead of the problem. I ignore the “bad” and seek out the good. And I am telling you, this kid’s energy has shifted to match mine. He has not been aggressive once. He is laughing, smiling, and learning.

My co-workers give me curious looks, looks that probably mean they are questioning what I’m putting in his Kool-aid. I just smile. Maybe one day soon I will tell them about the law of attraction and how I used it to turn this situation around. In the meantime, I’m just enjoying my little ducklings.

P.S. Here is a list of the strategies I’m using with ALL of my kids, both regular ed. and special services, to get them out of the role of “the problem kid” and into “star student.”

1. Lots of smiles, winks, high-fives, and hugs.
2. At the beginning of each day, every child is greeted by another student with eye contact and a smile. We then play a community-building game in which there are no winners and losers. For greeting and game ideas, go to http://www.originsonline.org and go to Activity Central. You can sort by grade level.
3. At the end of each day, we name one thing we saw each child do that helped make our classroom community better- being a good listener, sharing, using words to solve a problem, drawing a picture for a friend, etc. We then do a little cheer.
4. Every child has an important job. I try to give kids jobs that get them out of their “bad identity.” For example, the kid who is known as being irresponsible might be given the job of taking messages to different parts of the school. (I might let the office know ahead of time to expect them!) The child who seems to only care about himself would be given the job of caregiver- getting an ice pack or a band-aid for a hurt child.
5. My students know that they can put themselves into “Take a Break.” I put myself in the break chair when I feel myself getting frustrated. I model taking deep breaths and getting back in control before rejoining the group. I’m amazed that five-year-olds can do this, but they all do!
6. We move- a lot! Five-year-olds may need to physically get their feelings out before they can concentrate, so we take a lot of mini dance breaks. If the weather is nice, we walk around the outside of the school once or twice before settling in for a math lesson.
7. I randomly send postcards to my kids’ homes, telling them about something great I have noticed in them.
8. If a child is having a particularly rough day, I will find a moment when they are doing something good (it may be very small and seemingly insignificant) and pull them over to tell them I notice. Then I will sing them a song (A You’re Adorable is a favorite) or read them the book of their choice.
9. If I notice several students starting to get off track during a particular time of day, I call a class meeting. Recently we had a meeting because they were starting to play instead of listen to directions. We made a chart showing what a good listener “looks like, feels like, and sounds like.”
10. I have two signs up in my room that keep me going. The first says, “Focus on what you want, not what you don’t want.” (Totally LOA!) The other says “All children want to be good.”
11. Biggest, most important one- I am learning to stay in my business and take care of my energy first. I have to be emitting good vibes in order for my kids to do the same.

Sometimes we may feel broke and sense a lot of financial lack in our lives but your lack may not have anything to do with actual dollars and cents.

It may be something not related to finances.

It may be related to something totally different.

For instance, my client E. E had a long history of feeling abandoned by everyone around her. She was happily married but she still felt lonely and often had arguments with her husband that severely disintegrated the nature of their relationship. As she identified the energy of abandonment within her, she made a commitment to heal the wounds that her thoughts about abandonment had created within her.

Then she was surprised when I asked her to appreciate the abandonment and see which ways it had served her.

As she observed how often it had come up in her life, she realized that she pushed people away because she felt her needs were too much for others to handle. She realized that she did not want to risk being vulnerable with people because if she was not vulnerable, she would not get hurt.

Well, instead of not getting hurt by being too vulnerable to others, she was hurt by allowing the flow of abandonment in her life which hurt equally.

She realized that her feelings of abandonment were really a reflection of how she had abandoned herself as she did not trust that she could create warm loving relationships. As she allowed herself to love those parts of herself that felt abandoned, one day she had an image in her mind as to how she had done the same thing with money.

She had pushed money away not wanting to be abandoned by money.

As we worked on her healing the theme of abandonment in her energy pattern, and she allowed love to flow evenly in her life, her relationship with money opened up and she received more money flow in her life.

The law of attraction says what we focus on expands. Many times, we do not realize that we are focused on things that are anti what we want. That is why what we want does not show up in our lives.
