Applying the Law of Attraction to Manifest Health

Illness and injury are to a certain degree, a part of being alive. Even though there are some people who seem never to get sick, it is unlikely that anyone has gone through an entire life without ever getting a single cold or suffering a few cuts or bruises along the way. Sure, some people are more illness and accident prone than others, but anyone can have health challenges as a result of thoughts, feelings, and habits. Everything that comes into your experience matches the vibration that you put out.

Are You Still Struggling with Affirmations?

Many people struggle with affirmations. They find they’re not comfortable voicing them, or they aren’t sure what to say exactly because the words feel like a lie. Some people insist that specific words should be used while others should be avoided, and that because affirmations are typically about something that you want to change in your life, it’s important to “fake it until you make it.”

Inviting Thoughts

The concept underlying the Universal Law of Attraction is that everything in the universe is composed of energy that vibrates at different frequencies. All matter, and even our thoughts, is composed of energy. The Universal Law of Attraction states that like energy attracts like energy. What we think affects what comes into our lives. Sometimes we attract positive things, and other times we attract negative things, based on the vibrational frequency of our thoughts. How do you develop thoughts that invite or manifest the things you really want into your life?

The Universal Law of Attraction: Quantum Physics

When we study quantum physics, we learn that nothing is fixed, there are no limitations or barriers, and that all things are composed of vibrating energy. Quantum physics approaches science with a spiritual perspective of everything being connected and in a constant state of change-all energy that fluidity. Einstein’s formula E=mc2 explains the relationship between energy and matter. It states that energy and matter are interchangeable and that everything is energy. This energy can be shaped, formed and molded.

Internal Guidance System Transforms Procrastination to Inspired Action

I admit it—I procrastinate. In fact, I seem to have elevated procrastination to an art form. It seems to rule my life at the moment. It made me wonder about inspired action, but as I began to really think about and analyze my apparent paralysis I started to realize some things.

Trusting Your Internal Guidance System: Lessons from Actor Bob Hoskins

A wonderful actor died last week. I’ve enjoyed watching him portray a variety of “bad guys with a big heart” over the years, but last week, I learned something new about him and my appreciation for Bob Hoskins has grown even greater. Hoskins left school at 15 because he was told he was stupid. The truth was, Hoskins had dyslexia, but the label stuck and he took the negative path of gangs and violence. Obviously, this is a far cry from the life of an actor. Then the Universe stepped in, and fortunately, Bob Hoskins was open to it.

Parenting from Your Place of Power

As parents, we provide the greatest inspiration and positive influence to our children when we act from our place of power. What is our place of power exactly? Our place of power is found in our own alignment -- that place where we feel happy, calm and joyous. It is that place where our vibration is high. Coaching and mentoring from this place of power helps our children develop in an equally positive manner.

Allowing and Attracting vs Planning

Many people are very good at planning their lives. They micromanage their time -- how they’ll spend this hour, the week, the month and even the year. They decide when they’ll go on vacation and they make plans. They plan for their child’s education and for their retirement. A certain amount of planning is usually a good thing. Where people get it wrong is when they go totally overboard and don’t allow. People are so conce ed that they don’t go over budget because their finances are so limited that they scrimp and watch every penny. They don’t go anywhere or do anything.

What are Your Kids’ Favorite Things?

Since this is the 50th anniversary of one of the all time great, positive family movies, The Sound of Music, it seems appropriate to talk about some of your favorite things. More importantly, it’s an opportunity to be sure you know what your kids’ favorite things are. The song “These are a Few of My Favorite Things” may be a very good place to start, as Julie Andrews sings about many wonderful, simple pleasures in her life.

The Science of Vibration and the Universal Law of Attraction

The law of vibration serves as the foundation for the Universal Law of Attraction even though it may not be as well known as the law of attraction. Science, through quantum physics, is demonstrating that everything in our universe is energy. Even when we go down to the sub-atomic level, we do not find matter. We find pure energy. Sometimes this is referred to as the unified field or the matrix.

Attracting Family Fitness

Just a few generations ago, few people had to worry about their physical fitness. Life was hard. Without luxuries like cars, elevators, or even washing machines and other labor saving devices, their lives were busy doing all the things we take for granted. Machines didn’t do everything for people back then. The demands of living created enough activity to generate a level of fitness that most people don’t have today.

Parenting-Demonstrate Through Personal Vibration

No parent I know, including myself, learns to parent in one fell swoop. Parenting is a process. We learn new things with every new challenge that presents itself. Each child and each situation builds new parenting skills and each challenge, no matter how difficult or trying, offers new opportunities to learn together as parent and child.

Wants Demand Action: The Universal Law of Attraction

Using the Universal Law of Attraction to attract what you want in life all comes down to the same principle: you need to focus your attention on the thing you want with the strongest emotion. However, focusing and trusting your internal guidance system to do the right thing in order to manifest what you want demands a certain amount of action on your part. For example, it’s fine to focus on losing weight and focusing your thoughts and emotions on wanting to attract a thinner, more beautiful body.

Denial is a River in Egypt, Right?

Denial has gotten a bad reputation in a lot of circles. Most people were raised to be realistic rather than day-dreamers, but we live in a state of denial. This focus on being realistic actually places many limitations on you and focuses on the past rather than the future. If you want to raise your children to fulfill their potential and to exceed expectations, then you must allow them to daydream and live on the banks of that lovely river in Egypt. Otherwise, you are restricting them, energetically and emotionally tying their hands and their futures.

The Law of Attraction Works, But Not on a Schedule

The Law of Attraction is a scientifically proven natural law and it always works. It has to. You may not understand natural laws or even be aware of their existence, but that doesn’t mean they stop working. Consider the familiar question “If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, does it make a sound?” The tree falling is not in question. The tree falls because of gravity. Whether or not the tree makes a sound is the question because sound is perceived or not.

Including Time to Play in Your Kids’ Schedule

One area that is sometimes overlooked when scheduling your kids’ time is how important it is to allow independent play. It might not be necessary to have a literal scheduled block of time for play, especially if play still comes naturally to both you and your children, but if you find that you or your child are working more than playing, then marking off a specific time to play together may be a cure for what ails you. Play is an important part of growing up. It gives kids a chance to try new things and to take on different roles to see what feels good to them.

Helping Kids Maintain Their Independence as Friendships Change

Friendships are an important part of being healthy, but they can be rough too. Most people change over time and this affects their relationships, including with their friends. As a parent, it can be hard to watch your child go through a difficult time with their friends pulling away -- even ones you didn’t particularly like. What can be even harder to handle is when you see your kid change in an effort to keep friendships alive. The thing is, you need to allow you kid to pick their own friends -- even the ones you don’t like or think aren’t “good for him/her.”

Coaching and Mentoring Your Teen to Find Their Own Answers

It is a great temptation to give your teen advice about what they should do in a given situation. As parents, we may believe they will benefit from our experience and direction. It may even feel like they want us to tell them what to do. It will serve all of us better, especially in the long run, if we focus on coaching and mentoring our children on how to find their own answers.

Surviving Your Child's First Break-Up

One of the hardest things for any parent to face is a child with a broken heart. You never want to see your child hurt and yet you know it’s inevitable. Having hurt feelings is part of life. True heartbreak, as painful as it can be, is also part of that cycle. While heartache at any age is painful and difficult, the first time your child has a broken heart can be most difficult for you as their parent. Like all firsts, they’ve never gone through this before and that can make it more challenging.

Making Smarter Babies

There’s a wide continuum of what’s considered normal intelligence in humans. Some of that may be genetic, but there’s a lot of evidence that parents can have a large impact on helping their children be smarter. It all starts when they’re babies. Pregnant women frequently choose to alter what they eat and drink in order to help their babies grow and have healthy bodies. Similarly, they can also help their babies have healthier and smarter brains.

Handling Family Conflicts with Confidence

Can you think of a day when you didn’t experience conflict? Your family can have disagreements and butt heads over lots of things and sometimes these are big issues. Other times it’s over little stuff and interestingly, it often seems like some of the biggest conflicts arise over what you think are the littlest things.

Don’t Let Your Children Inherit Your Fears

Becoming a parent doesn’t immediately wipe away all the fears that you’ve accumulated during your lifetime. If anything, parenthood can be the cause of several new fears and magnify others -- even some you might think you’ve gotten over. It’s good to recognize that having a little fear is perfectly normal. As long as your fears aren’t debilitating, they aren’t something you should be overly conce ed about. If a fear is so intense that it interferes with you daily life, you may want to consider working through it by consulting with a specialist, but what about minor fears?

The heat of summer is going strong and yet it’s already time to get ready to send the kids back to school.

Parenting After Divorce

Divorce has become commonplace and affects many children today. Either their parents are divorced or they have friends whose parents are divorced, making it a very rare occurrence when a child doesn’t know someone who’s divorced. There’s been a shift in the manner of how divorce affects children and parents. It used to be that when parents divorced, the mother was almost always given custody of the children. Courts believed that children needed their mothers more than their fathers.

Using Your IGS to Identify Your Desires

Your Internal Guidance System (IGS) is like a sensor that everyone has built into them. It helps you to recognize when you’re heading down the right path and when you need to course correct. Your IGS can help you recognize what makes everyone so uniquely wonderful, what your best qualities and skills are, and how you can use them. By using your IGS, you can even identify what it is that you want out of life and how to manifest those desires. There are people who don’t know about their IGS and they tend to fall subject to the energy and whims of the world around them.

When a Child is in Pain

It can be difficult when you have a child who’s in pain and whether the pain is acute or chronic, it often affects more than just the person who’s physically feeling it. The entire family can be affected. Pain can be debilitating, can cause kids to lash out, and it can result in kids not being able to focus their attention on things like school or chores.

Should Kids Keep Summer Jobs After School Starts?

A rite of passage for your kids as they grow up is getting a summer job and here can be an immense amount of pride in having a job. After all, kids gain a level of independence from Mom and Dad because they’re earning money for themselves. For many families, the question that comes up is whether or not the kids should keep their summer jobs once school starts. Some kids start working very young. These kids tend to be entrepreneurial by nature. They’re the ones who are mowing neighbors’ lawns and putting up lemonade stands.
