Demystifying Health, Wealth & Happiness and Writing Your Way to a Radical New Existence

I’m the queen of “Shelf-Help”, those bookcases full of material from seminars, workshops, and the Internet that guarantee your success if you just do [fill in the blank]. Oh, I’ve benefited from most of what I’ve read and listened to. However, I wouldn’t have bought the next, best thing if I had found the magic cure in any of them. Despite my years of listening and reading to all that wisdom, there has still been something that has held me back in truly having the life those books and CDs lead you to believe you can have.

Recent events in my life have given me a new perspective, what I am calling a “radical new dimension” to my view. The fact is, it’s so basic, I can’t believe I didn’t see it years ago. It’s not the idea of asking for what you want, or trusting that the universe will always provide, because it does. What has been the missing ingredient is to be prepared to receive what it is I’m asking for. I had not created the container to hold what it is I’d been asking for.

I’ll give you an example. About a year ago, I recommended the book Ask, and It is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks to a friend. A few weeks later, we met for lunch. I had started dating again and she asked what it was I had asked for in a new relationship. “Physically attractive, intellectually stimulating, emotionally available, and spiritually expanding,” I replied. Then I added, “But I just don’t believe that there’s anyone out there who has all of those things.”

“How can you possibly attract what you want when you don’t believe it exists?” she exclaimed. Busted. I cringed when I realized she was right!

How does this look in other areas of life? How many instant millionaires are back to their previous debt level within two years? What about the relationship that seems perfect in the first six months, then slowly deteriorates in the next three? Have you ever asked for an increase in your income revenue, then something or someone seemed to sabotage your results? In each of these cases, it’s because the person receiving what they asked for wasn’t ready for what they got!

Even before that, how many times have you blocked something from coming into your life because you weren’t ready at that point, even though it was really what you desired? If you are struggling in life, it’s because some fear is keeping you from receiving what you truly deserve and desire. I can guarantee it.

So, how can you know what’s blocking you? In my experience with clients, one of the most effective ways of uncovering these obstacles is through the writing process. I have seen remarkable, almost miraculous changes in their businesses and personal lives once they were able to identify those blocks.
