Ok, I know there's a LoA forum on the Book Nook board, but it doesn't appear terribly busy...So, about a month ago, I read The Secret. I took a piece of construction paper and pasted a picture of a guy climbing the Mayan pyramid in Mexico. I thought, wouldn't it be cool to go to Mexico and wander around that with the kids? I intended to paste more stuff to my "wishlist," but haven't done it, partly because, maybe, I'm not sure what I want. I also wrote a check to myself and put it in the prosperity corner of my house (feng shui).

Yesterday, my aunt announced she is trying to get a family trip scheduled for Cancun, where one of my other aunt's brothers owns a resort, so we could probably stay for cheap. (

) Granted, I don't have the money yet to pay for the trip, but, I assume the universe will provide, right? However, on second thought and as the weeks have gone by and I have looked at that picture, I have been thinking, maybe my family is not ready for a trip like that (we have 4 littles), maybe this is a trip best left for later....But, look! Here is the opportunity. And, I suppose, it is one that would be open later if we wanted to take it. Funny though. I guess we do need to be sure of what we want, eh?

And, on the check. I dated it for the 8th, and, no, I can't cash it yet. However, DH told me over a week ago that he was working with a client on a deal that would bring him *guess how much* by the end of the year.

Now, I am wondering if that's how it works, or if I'm not opening myself up to the possibilities, etc., at the moment.

Anyway...I thought I'd post this here for your thoughts because I know some of you are LoA students as well, and maybe you can give me some ideas to help me to know what it is I need to tap on, to let go of, etc., as, obviously, EFT works marvelously for eliminating those negative thoughts. I have tapped some on my ideas of money, prosperity, wealth, but very generally.

Well, the first step is a gratitude journal I used to hear Oprah talk about it and think"yeah right' BUt I think looking at your life in a positive way and seeing your life in a positive way is one of the ways to let more positive in...attract more positive. Write in it every day. I am amazed since doing EFT how mUCH I can write down that I am grateful for..I mean how easily it flows.

Then...

yes, clear out your blocking beliefs about stuff. The 'I am not worth, I am not good enough" stuff you beliefs about money, who has it, who does not. Not deserving abundance, or not deserving it until certain criteria are met...Poverty thinking...
Gary Craig's Palace Of Possibilities DVD's are all about this. They are really great about letting the positive in to your life.
Carol Look has a book 'Attracting Abundance With EFT' I actually have ordered it and downloaded it, but I have not gotten to working on it yet. THat is on my list for tomorrow, to start my abundance work.

I KNOW for a fact that in my life I have always felt 'lucky' in a way. WHen I look back on it, it was my ability to visualize what I want and go for it that made me feel lucky.
I believe luck is opportunity meeting preparedness. Preparedness in the EFT sense is getting rid of your blocking beliefs to let the positive in.

Then yes, the exercise of making a treasure map for something that you want to allow in your life is so AWESOME. I would like to do some of those as well.

Maybe we could each make a treasure map for something...and take pics and post them. That would be fun homework

Hi Jody,

I'm been working with Law Attraction for a few years now. I love the freedom I get from knowing that's how the world works. I am not the ultimate manifester yet as I have had so many beliefs to undo and redo .... but I am finding more ways to be deliberate with what I want to create and attract. I think one area where folks get hung up is that they think if they say they want something, they'll get it. But if deep inside they don't' think they will get it, then it doesn't work. It's like affirmations -- they can be so powerful and for many they are completely ineffective. It's about lining up your inside energy and beliefs with what you say on the outside.

One of the most powerful aspects of LOA that is often not understood is the use of feelings. (This is from Abraham-Hicks but I know other authors talk about this. IN fact I just watched the Star Wars movies and they talk about it!) Feelings are our guide. If you think something and it feels good, then that thought is serving you. If you think something and it feels bad, then that thought is not serving you.

So take your thoughts that you wrote out in this email and check each one to see how it feels. That will give you powerful information.

Hugs,
Deb.
