Attract Inspiration and Allow Yourself to BE Inspired!

3.5.14 Attract InspirationHave you ever been reading and had such powerfully inspiring thought pop in your head that you had to write it down because you knew you wouldn’t remember the wording the same exact way, or the feeling it evoked at the time, if you remember it at all days from then?

While reading Noah St. John’s book, The Book of Afformations: Discovering the Missing Piece to Abundant Health, Wealth, Love and Happiness, I was suddenly hit with this realization, this exact phrase that quickly scribbled down, “I just want to be inspired.  That’s what I want in life.  That is what makes me feel good, excites and thrills me, and fills me with hope and energy.”

Realizing this literally opened my eyes and mind, in that exact moment, in a totally different way.  It was like I just finally understood what I need to do.  I need to follow my inspirations, do what makes me feel inspired, and the rest will just fall into place.  I felt it was the truth; a truth I didn’t know existed in me before.  And I believe it is the truth for ALL of us!!

Inspiration drives your inner spirit; it puts you on the path towards your life’s purpose; it keeps your energy up and entices your feet to keep moving toward the goal of your soul—whether you know what that is or not.  The more you allow yourself to be inspired, the clearer your life’s purpose will become.

Laissez Faire; set the intention to be constantly flooded with inspiration, let go of worrying about the “how’s,” “what’s,” “when’s,” and “why’s” and open your inspiration flood gates!

Allow yourself to be inspired!  Love this feeling and you will attract more inspiration to you—an inspiring person or conversation, and inspiring book or seminar, an inspiring thought or image.  Just be inspired!

Here’s to being flooded by inspiration!

Law of Attraction Challenge #9: Give Back in Some Form This Week

2.27.2014 Challenge 9When you read the title of this week’s Law of Attraction Challenge, what comes to mind?  What pops into your head as a way of “giving back?”

Is it a monetary donation?  Is it volunteering your time?  Is it doing something nice for someone that will be surprised?  Is it just being in the moment and spending time with the ones you love, maybe the ones who have been missing you and will appreciate their special time with you?

When Rancid Lemons Produce Delicious Lemonade…

2.5.14 Sweet EndingsHave you ever had what you thought was a “bad” circumstance turn out to lead you to something incredibly positive and opportunistic?

It is easy to get caught up in the negative when you feel it is being piled on you and that you are starting to sink but when you refuse to be weighed down by situations that are testing your strength of positivity, often the greatest clarity and solutions to unanswered questions arise.

This happened in my life a few months ago.  My son was having terrible anxiety about getting on the bus in the morning—it was a new routine for him since we used to walk to school in our old house.  I have been using EFT tapping for about 5 years; it is a stress-relief tool that is a cousin of acupuncture, you tap on the end-points of the energy meridians on your body which helps to balance your energy system and bring you peace.  I was tapping with my son, which brought him some relief but I was apparently having trouble getting to the core issue that was causing him to still be upset at times.

I decided to look into finding an EFT Practitioner that perhaps specialized in working with children; I thought it might be worth paying a professional to help him clear this problem once and for all.  I hated seeing him so distressed and upset.

While looking on the Internet, I found only two practitioners that fulfilled this request.  To my surprise, one was located in NY, close to where we live (it is not necessary to tap with someone in person—it can be done over the phone, or Skype as well).  While checking out her website, I came to a page that said she was holding a 3-Day EFT Workshop for FREE and I hadn’t missed it!  I was so incredibly excited!  I had never been to a workshop and been surrounded by other people who love tapping as much as I do!

It also said that attending this workshop would count toward some of the requirements for becoming an EFT practitioner, if you chose to do that.  While I have truly loved EFT since the first time I used it years ago, and it has made a remarkable difference in my life that I am incredibly grateful for, I had never really allowed myself to seriously consider being a practitioner…until now.

In the end, while my son’s anxiety wasn’t a good thing, I am grateful for it because it has enabled me to pursue this passion of mine and it is turning out to be something that I am naturally good at.  I am almost done with all of the requirements to be a Certified EFT Practitioner! Plus, Bo’s anxiety seemed to melt away as well…icing on the Magicality cake!

Hitting a Home Run

So, when life throws you a curve ball, or hands you some rancid lemons, don’t assume it will be your third strike or that the lemons are “bad” and deserve to be thrown away, follow that swing through to the end cause it may turn out to be a home run that you hit, or the lemonade that quenches your thirsty soul like nothing else ever!

Here’s to bad pitches sent over the fence and surprisingly delicious lemonade made from rotten lemons!

Stay Connected With Your Higher Source & You Will Attract Abundance

1.15.14 Stay ConnectedHave you ever felt that tinge of fear that you don’t have enough?  Not enough money? Not enough free time? Not enough appreciation for all that you do? Just plain out not enough?

As you may well know, abundance is a major aspect of the Law of Attraction—we are all one and therefore it makes no sense to be competitive because essentially we would be competing against ourselves.  There is no need to compete in the first place because there is already enough of everything to go around for us all.  We just have to acknowledge and live by this fact.

Sometimes however, even with our best efforts, for as much as we envision there being enough of whatever it is we desire, that interloper of lack slips into our consciousness.

Recently, I was watching the Disney movie Pocahontas with my daughter and it dawned on me how the Native Americans lived lives very in tune with the Law of Attraction.  They truly understood abundance and gratitude.  (Check out my blog post, The First Thanksgiving…An Authentic Example of the Law of Attraction, for more about this.)

They shared the land with their fellow man and animals; they didn’t claim the land to be their own, like the settlers did; they weren’t in competition with anyone, they just took what they needed and were grateful for what they were able to receive.

The Native Americans of years ago were also more connected with their higher source—to them, it was Mother Nature, to LOA people, it is the Universe…or whatever feels right for you.  This awareness and reverence of their higher source helped them to live spiritual lives, which in turn were filled with more meaning, passion and gratitude.

We have unfortunately lost this connection with our higher source in today’s society, for the most part, but it can stop with you.

It is up to you to tap into your intuition and be aware of all the signs of Magicality in your life.  It is up to you to choose whether you take advantage of the opportunities that arise in your life.  It is up to you to exude gratitude for the things that make your magnet smile.  And it is up to you to share what you have to offer with your fellow man, whether it be a smile, a dollar, or a helping hand, and erase competition from the equation.

We are all one from the same source.  Live as if you KNOW it is so and abundance will flow to you.

May all that you do bring abundance to us all!

Generosity is the Key to Abundance in Your Life

1.6.14 Hands Giving Heart

The more you give the more you get.  This is a huge part of the law of attraction in manifesting the life that you desire.  As you give more, you will see more unfold in your life for you.

You ask, “What if I don’t have anything to give?”  There is always something that you can find to give, whether it be your money or simply just your time.  There is always someone or a cause less fortunate than yourself that you can help in some way.

I know giving when it seems that you don’t have much may scare you, but believe in this aspect of the law of attraction and watch your world change. 

I used to think that I would wait until a certain time or pay day to give.  Sometimes I would be asked to donate to certain charities or causes and it would not give me a good feeling.  The reason for this was because during that time in my life I was not living a life of Magicality.

I was not in align with the wonderful universe and therefore I couldn’t grasp the notion of giving, especially because I didn’t have much in my life at that time.

Then when I discovered what the law of attraction was and the concept of giving, it opened my eyes and changed my world.  Now I give.  I give my time to those in need and I donate money to causes that mean a lot to me.

Now giving has become second nature and the feeling I get for it is truly amazing.  When you give, it makes you feel INCREDIBLE!  It makes you feel alive.  And when you feel so incredible, guess what?  You are sending out signals to the universe to present you with more opportunities to feel incredible about!!!

Ultimately, by giving, you are starting an amazing cycle in your life that will continue on and on and on.  The more you give, the more you receive.  It is simple as that.

Don’t give just because a book or a blog (like this one) recommends you to do so.  Really believe in the cause of your time or money.  This should become a passion of yours and should fill you with joy and excitement.  Really invest in what you’re investing in.

It really is a spectacular thing.  You will see doors open for you where there was once only walls, as the famous quote goes.  Your world will change and so will the way you feel about giving.

Follow the Signs of Magicality to Attract the Life You Didn’t Know You Could Have

12.4.13 Sign of Magicality

Have you even been doing something totally mundane and have a very meaningful realization?  This happened to me recently.  I was brushing my teeth and was suddenly struck with an amazing Magicality epiphany!

Before my son was born, my husband and I were seriously considering moving to Montana.  We were just going to pick up and go and talked about building a little cabin in a random small town.  It was a cool thought but when we found out I was pregnant, that plan quickly changed.

When Bo, our son, was 9 months old, we moved from where we were living in Nevada to New York, to be closer to my family and for Jake to take the test to become a firefighter in the FDNY.  The timing of this move was pivotal because this would be the last test that Jake would be within the age requirements to take and it was a dream of Jake’s to become firefighter.  So that, coupled with the desire to be closer to my family, had us selling everything that couldn’t fit into our two cars and making a cross-country road trip from Nevada to New York City.

It was amazing to see Jake fulfill his dream and graduate Salutatorian from the FDNY Fire Academy after working so hard to achieve his goal.  I was, and still am, insanely proud of him and his accomplishments and know he is fulfilling his life’s purpose.

Although there are many incredible signs of Magicality throughout me and Jake’s ten year journey of being together, the universe really aligned in order to fulfill Jake’s dream and, in the process, provide our family with the most happiness and security.

But, it wasn’t until recently that I was able to see the major source of Magicality in Jake becoming a Firefighter…it was my son!  If we hadn’t have had Bo when we did, we probably wouldn’t have moved to NY in time for Jake to take the test, if we had moved there at all, and Jake would probably not be working his dream job today.

We moved at exactly the right time, exactly when was right for us, by following the signs of Magicality.  There were too many signs pointing us in the direction we needed to go to ignore them.  And, I’m grateful we were both open to experiencing the many changes that came along with following them.

So, you never know where you are going to end up in your life’s journey and who will play a vital role in fulfilling your dreams.  Be open to the possibilities that arise throughout your life because following their lead may just land you on your ultimate life path.

Here’s to much awareness of the signs of Magicality in your life; it’s never too late to notice and be grateful for them!

Laissez Faire Lifestyle: An Often Overlooked Aspect of the Law of Attraction

11.20.13 Laissez Faire

Some of you may remember hearing the term “Laissez-Faire” in your high school history and economics classes.  This French term dates back to the 17th century but became more common in English-speaking countries in the late 18th century.  There are many interpretations of its definition.

Economically speaking, the term would mean “leave it be,” and encourages little restrictions by the government on economic transactions between private parties, or a “hands-off” approach.

In the Magicality sense, Laissez-Faire means not interfering with the universe; let it do its job, follow the signs it presents to you and it will lead you on the path you are meant to be on.

Be detached and objective.  Don’t worry about all the possibilities and the “what ifs.”  Don’t try to plan things out too much or try to make things happen.  Have faith in this natural system; let go of worry and let the universe figure it out for you!

By not getting in the way of the universe, and therefore yourself, you are enabling the incredible power of the universe and human potential to be unleashed!  All you need to do is set the intention of what you would like to have, or have happen, and then intervene as little as possible until it is time to act on the opportunities that are presented to you.

And, don’t worry, they will come when the time is right, but you must be aware of them!  It may be in an unexpected way, because the universe loves to test our intuitive abilities and make sure our senses are tuned into everything around us, but everything we hope will happen, will happen!

Follow the signs of Magicality because they will never steer you wrong!

Peace, and may Laissez Faire be with you!

The Power of Apology in Living the Law of Attraction

11.6.13 Power of Apology

Have you ever observed small children navigate the social waters and occasionally bump heads with one another such as fighting over a toy and then casually giving each other a retaliation punch?

If so, were you also able to observe how the parent handled the situation? Most parents seem to immediately jump in and instruct their child to, “Say your sorry,” which is usually followed by the child saying it somewhat under his or her breath, without feeling or remorse.

Like children, we can all lose control of our magnet at times, I certainly do here and there, it happens, we’re all human, but it is important to make right what you may have done wrong.

The trick is being aware of the fact that you had a momentary lapse in sticking to your higher-self-path. As soon as you realize this, flip your magnet back the way it should be, back to its manifestation smile.  Then, reexamine the situation that made you lose your cool, that made your magnet teeter, and see if there is a way to rectify the negativity that you may have had a hand in.

As seen on Psychology Today

The best, and most assertive way to do this is by simply apologizing to anyone you may have affected (like when it is bed time, and your patience are running low, and you snap at your kids and send then off to bed in a house full of tension energy).

Ask yourself if whatever made you step outside of living the Law of Attraction and back into the “it’s everyone else’s fault” world was really worth it….and if you really dig deeper, most of the time it isn’t the outside source that you blame for causing your break from Magicality in the heat of the moment, it really is something that is going on inside yourself.

Therefore, I think you may agree with me, that an apology is in order. (That’s when you hug your kids, look them in the eyes in the morning and tell them you love them; tell them that you apologize for losing control over your magnet and you are sorry for yelling. They will appreciate it, even if they are little, and will look to emulate the example you are setting)

Apologies are powerful because they signal to the universe that you are aware of your thoughts, emotions and actions; that even though you may make a mistake occasionally, you are quick to fix it–and hopefully learn from it.

Be grateful for your momentary magnet misdirection because it is a lesson to learn from, but be even more grateful for your noticing it and correcting it. And, don’t worry, your apologies won’t go unnoticed; the universe will send you signs of thanks as well…and be sure to thank it right back!

So, don’t fret when you make a wrong turn (and your magnet follows), just be sure to offer a heart-felt, sincere apology to all involved…universe and magnet included.

May all your apologies bring you much positivity in return!

Living the Law of Attraction…Magicality Magnet Style

10.30.13 Smiling Magnet

A very important component of Magicality is your Magicality Magnet. Your magnet has been with you ever since you were a baby, yet few of us realize it till much later in life, if at all.

If you are here reading this blog, you should consider yourself special since you essentially have a leg up in living a law of attraction lifestyle if you recognize, and respect, the power and potential your Magicality Magnet has in helping you manifest the life you want.

The relationship you have with your Magicality Magnet is cyclical; your magnet feeds off of and follows in the direction of your thoughts, actions and emotions while, at the same time, when you examine your thoughts, actions and emotions, you will get a clear indication of which direction your magnet is facing and whether it needs to be adjusted or not.

It’s “like attracts like”, so think happy, attract more happy; think angry, get more angry reflected back.

Negativity Magnet Cycle

And here’s the GREAT NEWS!  You have total control over your magnet just by controlling your thoughts!  Let me say that again, when you know your magnet must be facing down because you are obviously in a shitty mood, you can choose, right then and there, to flip it over so it is smiling again!

Positivity Magnet Cycle

Now, I know you are probably thinking, “I can’t just ‘change’ my mood so quickly like that? This sounds impossible!”  I know it may sound difficult, and believe me, less than 5 years ago, I would have totally scoffed at this advice myself. (I never bought into the whole, “put a smile on your face and it will make you feel better;” I looked at it as, “If I’m in a bad mood, I’m not going to cover it up with a fake smile.”)

But, in actuality, you aren’t faking anything—you are CHOOSING to change your thought patterns and there is nothing fake about that.  And, if I am able to snap myself out of a bad mood within minutes or hours, as apposed to days or months, like years ago, so can you!

10.30.13 Which way is my magnet facing right now_edited-1

The key is remembering to be aware and ask yourself, “Which way is my magnet facing right now?” and flip accordingly.  You’ll be surprised how much easier it is to do than you think.  That’s what makes Magicality so magical!

Please share with us your Magicality Magnet flipping experiences; we would love to hear them!

Until next time, happy flipping!
