When I first published this Law of Attraction article in 2006, it brought so many comments that I reprint it every other year…

When you order dessert at a restaurant, you always choose something that tastes good. While you might skip the whipped cream to save some calories, you’d never order the strawberry-rhubarb pie unless you like it.

Why, then, do you keep ordering what you don’t like from the Menu of the Universe? Continue Reading »

Affirmations work – when we believe them.  If you don’t believe your affirmations or goal statements, it’s time to replace them!

If you affirm “I now make $1,000,000 a  year from my business” – when you aren’t making anywhere near that – you may find yourself feeling frustrated as time goes by and you don’t see the evidence.

Napoleon Hill taught in Think and Grow Rich that we need a specific plan and goals that we must repeat to ourselves daily. But if you’re saying goals out loud while wondering if you’ll ever achieve them, you’re not attracting the results you want. I mean, look around you – are the goal statements working or not?

It’s so easy to put the future off indefinitely. “I’ll buy that sailboat when I have the money.” “I’ll  learn to ballroom dance when I lose 10 pounds.”

The obvious problem with this thinking is it perpetuates your current vibration of “I don’t have the money” and “I’m too fat.”

The less obvious issue is it perpetuates your current assumption that” “doing” is the only route to your goals.

So if you can’t take the action to buy the $50,0oo sailboat  today, you live your days feeling dissatisfied and powerless in relation to your dreams.

Law of Attraction teaches that we create our own reality (whether on purpose or not).

So why not deliberately create a reality awash in luck, blessings and good fortune?

Here’s how to start.

Step 1  – CREATE YOUR PERSONAL HISTORY OF AMAZING LUCK. Think back on the times in your life when you received extraordinary good luck. You narrowly missed a serious car accident. You unexpectedly received a large sum of money. You got lost in a foreign city and “accidentally” met the love of your life.

Everyone has these experiences because, in truth, we are all the recipients of magnanimous blessings from spirit.

Step 1 in How To Create Luck is to remember your experiences – and make a list. This list is your Personal History of Amazing and Unlimited Luck.

Sure you can remember times when you were apparently unlucky. Everyone has those too. Because you’re not aiming to attract more unlucky experiences, just let them go. Focus on the lucky times and they will expand in your life.

Step 2 – MAKE “I AM” DECLARATIONS. Declare: “I am so lucky.” Say and think this often and with feeling! Abraham tells how Esther Hicks loves to say Continue Reading »

My Law of Attraction coaching clients sometimes ask me if they’re “making it up” when they begin to receive messages from spirit. “How do I know it’s really spirit and not just my own mind?” they ask.

Here are 2 tests.

Test 1: Spiritual guidance feels good, generally in a calm way. Sure, you may feel inspired or eager or passionate – but take time to feel also for an underlying sense of peaceful knowing or “this is right,” or “this is true for me.”

One of my clients compares it to connecting with Hometree in Avatar. Guidance comforts, enriches and expands you.

Note: if your guidance feels good in an unusually elated way – you feel high or giddy or you have an impulse to take a spontaneous and perhaps thoughtless action – definitely sleep on it and ask again.

Rash action that gives you a kick now often leaves you worse off later – that pattern is more how the ego-mind, with its tendency toward cravings and addictions, might work.

Test 2: true spiritual guidance feels empowering.  It feels like a huge YES in your heart.

If you’re hearing messages of self-criticism, you can know they’re not true spiritual guidance, because they leave you feeling drained and powerless.

Law of Attraction explains that drained experience this way:

Whenever we feel good, it’s an indicator we’re in alignment with our Inner Being, the part of ourselves that’s our spiritual essence. Alignment feels empowering and enlivening.

Whenever we feel bad, it’s an indicator we’re thinking something that our Inner Beings do not agree with. Mis-alignment feels dis-empowering and draining.

It bears repeating: messages of self-criticism are not true spiritual guidance.

Is inner guidance always quiet and gentle?

If you’re in immediate danger, guidance can be very loud. Continue Reading »
