Law of Attraction Literature

Hi There,

Sorry I have been AWOL for so long, but here I am again!

You may have noticed I haven't yet posted Day 11 of An Amazing Life. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten or given up! Its just that I have been struggling with it.
Day 11 is on The Law of Meditation. It's something that I'm determined to practice and perfect over time, but it wont be hurried.

In the meantime, I've been doing lots of research and other things, so I thought I'd share a few ideas about Law of Attraction Literature.

I'm a huge fan of motivational and inspirational literature. When I'm feeling down, depressed or unmotivated, I'll often pick up a book for inspiration and it usually helps me change my focus and leads me out of my funk.

There are a lot of great books out there, offering motivational, inspirational, and self-help advice for every aspect of your life, from health to wealth, relationships to happiness. There are books that focus on a single aspect or books that cover the whole spectrum in one single volume.

I was introduced to "positive thinking" and "the law of attraction" when I was in my teens.
I started with the classics like "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale, and "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. I still have these classics in my library, and over the years have amassed quite a collection.

In recent years, the book "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne has taken the world by storm, introducing a vast new audience to the "Law of Attraction.

I think that the "Law of Attraction" and the "Power of Positive Thinking" are fascinating concepts. I have dabbled with it from time to time, and got some interesting results.

I recently picked up "Think and Grow Rich" again. I've started re-reading it, with new, more mature eyes, and I'm gaining a lot of insight and wisdom from it.

I am not a naturally positive person. I struggle with depression. I am quite shy, timid and fearful by nature, so for me, it's not an easy process to practice positivity. What I have learnt though, is that we do have a deeper connection to the Universe that is readily available to us when we learn how to access it. ( The trick is to learn to access it quickly and easily on a regular basis.)

Edgar Cayce, the world-reknowned American psychic (1877 - 1945) called it the Superconscious Mind (Spirit) - "at-one-ment with God".

I call it "The Knowing"

Don't get me wrong though! Although books are a great source for advice, inspiration and knowledge, there is still no substitute for taking positive action.

With this in mind, I have created a survey on Law of Attraction Literature, as research for a project I am considering.

If you would like to, I invite you to complete my "Law of Attraction Literature Survey". If so, just click on the link!

I'm really looking forward to continuing the Meditation process, as this is one of the ways to get into attunement with your subconscious and superconscious minds.

I'll keep you "posted" as to how successful I am!


Happy Day!

Day10/60 - The Law of Certainty

OK! Today's law is the Law of Certainty. One thing I am certain of, I am not going to complete "You Can Have An Amazing Life in 60Days" in 60 days! Although I am certain that I am going to persevere and I am going to complete it!

The theme of today's lesson is that by being certain about things, you create an aura of confidence around you that inspires other people to have confidence in you.

A feeling of certainty, a feeling of knowing, creates confidence and eliminates doubt. It offers a feeling of safety and security.

Being certain gives you an air of authority.

Last week, I had a breakthough. A sudden sense of absolute certainty about where I should be going and what I should be doing with my life.
I don't often have that sense of absolute certainty in my life,beyond all reasonable doubt, but when I do, I call it the KNOWING. It is an unwaivering connection to something deep within. A sense of absolute knowing. No self-doubt.

In his book, Dr De Martini says you can add the quality of certainty to your life by:

Studying the area in which you want to have certainty
Rehearsing any necessary & associated skills.
Practice acting with certainty. Be, act "as if"

I don't know yet how I am going to accomplish my goal, and it is a BIG goal, but I KNOW, with certainty:

1. That it is possible.
2. That I can accomplish it

I feel it in my body, in my heart, in my soul. And when I feel it in my body, heart and soul, I feel the difference within myself. I feel the shift. I feel it in my committment.I feel it in my posture, in the way I carry myself, and I feel it in my level of confidence.

I've had a couple of fearful, doubting moments, but I've managed to push them aside on the wave of inspiration that I'm riding. I don't discount these moments, but I refuse to entertain them.

I KNOW that nothing great is ever achieved without risk attached.
I KNOW that FEAR and doubt are my own self-defence/survival mechanisms kicking in to save me from myself!
I KNOW that if I choose to, I can work through these fears to the rich rewards beyond.

I KNOW!

What do you KNOW?

Happy Day!

Day 9/60 – The Law of Silence

Today’s lesson is on the Law of Silence.
It reminded me of the words from Desiderata, one of my all time favourite poems:

“Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.”

From Desiderata by Max Ehrmann

I was quite conscientious about the lesson, and committed myself to sitting in silence for 30 minutes. I’m quite a solitary person by nature and enjoy spending time alone with myself and my thoughts, so it was not difficult for me to commit to the process.
I chose a spot outside, in my garden, under a big, old pecan nut tree. For company, I was joined by my son’s kitten, Deepakkie.
Sitting outside under the tree was not as quiet and peaceful as one might expect. School children playing soccer, whistling, clapping and cheering; the sounds of traffic from the nearby main road: planes overhead; the wind rustling the leaves in the trees, and two interruptions from family. Still, all in all, not bad.
By the end of 30 minutes my mind had slowed down significantly, although I didn’t quite reach a state of total relaxation.
Towards the end of the 30 minutes, I did start achieving a deeper level of conscious awareness, but as soon as I reached that depth, my “survival instinct” kicked in and my mind fought to bring me back to conscious control.
I didn’t get as much from the experience as I hoped, but it was an interesting exercise and experiment, and one which I shall persevere with. It will be interesting to see where it may lead me.

Happy Day!
