Someone asked us recently, "Is there any limitation to the body's ability
to heal?" And we said, "None other than the belief that you hold." And he
said, "Then why aren't people growing new limbs?" And we said, "Because no
one believes that they can."

The Law of Attractionis responding to your thought, not to
your current reality. When you change the thought, your reality must
follow suit. If things are going well for you, then focusing upon what is
happening now will cause the well-being to continue, but if there are
things happening now that are not pleasing, you must find a way of taking
your attention away from those unwanted things. You have the ability to quickly change your patterns of thought, and
eventually… your life experience. Take 15 minutes daily, thinking of pleasant scenarios regarding your
body, with the sole intent of enjoying your body and appreciating its
strength and stamina and flexibility and beauty. When you visualize for
the joy of visualizing rather than with the intention of correcting some
deficiency, your thoughts are more pure and, therefore, more powerful.
When you visualize to overcome something that is wrong, your thoughts are
diluted with the "lackful" side of the equation. In time, your
physical condition will acquiesce to your dominant thoughts.

According to Abraham, the collective channelled by Esther Hicks, everything in life comes down to one thing: coming into alignment with the Energy of our Source. They have written many books on this topic, but have not released a guided meditation CD geared towards releasing our resistance and aligning with our Source. There are four meditations, each 15 minutes long, focusing on four areas of life: General Well-Being, Financial Well-Being, Physical Well-Being and Relationships.
I started listening to this meditation about two weeks ago, daily, and have enjoyed the experience so far. The focus in on breathing, a topic that comes up a lot in the world of physical, emotional and spiritual health. Breathing is key to releasing toxins from our body, letting oxygen in, reducing stress, and letting go of our resistance to new ideas. Combining breathing with strong affirmative statements, this meditation is designed to bring us into alignment with our desires, and show us what it means to be a Spiritual being.
Fifteen minutes a day is a reasonable amount of time to spare in order to shift into a space of physical, financial and generally well-being, while improving my relationships. I find that if I listen to it right before I get out of bed, I never forget and it kick starts my day. I highly recommend checking out this meditation CD, and further exploring the works of Esther Hicks.
This week I wanted to share a list of wonderful books that have inspired me and influenced my healing process. Most of these wonderful books would apply to anyone in the process of healing themselves physically, emotionally and spiritually. If you've read any of these books, please share your thoughts!
1. The Crazy Sexy Cancer Series. Valentine's Day 2003 Kris Carr received the news she had Stage IV Epitheliodid Hemangioendothelioma, a rare cancer that encompassed most of her body. Only a handful of oncologists in the country have any knowledge of this disease and there is no medical cure at this time. Kris decided to take matters into her own hands and became a health expert. She read books on the raw food diet, macrobiotics, yoga, meditation, herbal treatments, etc. She formed her own Cancer Posse and started CrazySexyLife. The first book has a list of great tips for those going through cancer, and those assisting friends/family with cancer. Her second book is a journal, with exercises to explore the emotional side of the disease. In January she will release Crazy Sexy Diet, filled with health tips every cancer patient should know about. Kris is a strong woman, living with cancer, and getting healthy every day. I strongly recommend reading her powerful books.
2. The Sara Triology by Esther Hicks. The Law of Attraction is a powerful Universal tool, but some of the information out there can get confusing at time. Esther Hicks created this wonderful series, written for young adults, that explains the Law in a simple manner. We follow the life of Sara, an unhappy young girl living in a small town, who meets a talking Owl that changes everything. It's a wonderful, easy read, and a great way to learn the laws of the Universe.
3. Detox Your World by Shazzie. This incredible book takes you through the process of detoxing physically and emotionally the toxins and blockages that prevent you from achieving optimal health. She provides many tools for detoxing, including details on skin brushing, deep breathing techniques, colonics, etc. She has a detox diet program that gently allows people at all levels to release toxins from the body and shift their perspective. This is a unique read, a gem that I reference reguarly.
4. Superfoods by David Wolfe. I wrote a three part post earlier this summer on Superfoods, and later turned it into a lens on Squidoo. This amazing book has changed my life. I had issues with anemia, hypoglycemia, hormone imbalance, fatigue and of course cancer. Since I started using Superfoods in my smoothies, my energy level has improved (with indicates a balance in blood sugar and iron), my periods have normalized and I just feel better. I can't say enough about this book.
5. You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay. It took me a long time to read this book, I resisted for quite awhile. I simply did not want to deal with my feelings. However, I finally did read it and I'm glad I did. This incredible woman healed her breast cancer doing mirror work and affirmations. Her incredible story inspires and her exercises leave no room for denial. Everyone should own a copy of this book.
6. Knockout by Suzanne Somers. In this book Suzanne shares a story of a near-death experience, which nearly became fatal, because of the practices of the medical industry. Misdiagnosed, pumped full of drugs that never should of mixed, ignored and poorly treated, Ms. Somers is lucky to be alive. After this experience Somers interviewed a slew of medical doctors who were curing patients of cancer, without chemotherapy. Doctors who were listening to their patients, looking outside the drug industry, and some who were legally persucuted for it. If you have any doubts regarding how powerful big Pharm is, read this book.
7. Greens for Life by Victoria Boutenko. This book breaks down the science behind green smoothies and shows you just how important greens are for our diet. Written in an easy to understand manner, and with an index of recipes. the Boutenko family have long been leaders in the raw and health industries.
8. Anastasia by Vladimir Megre. I don't even know how to describe this series. These books are powerful, moving, magical, astonishing, breaktaking, I could go on. You will be moved.
9. Add More ~Ing to Your Life: A Hip Guide to Happiness by Gabrielle Bernstein. I've mentioned this book on several books, but it's worth mentioning again. Bernstein takes concepts from "A Course in Miracles" and breaks them down for the 20-30 somethings in a way that we will connect with. Each chapter covers a specific topic, from Forgiveness, Mirroring, Releasing Romantic Illusions, etc. She provides exercises to do over a 30-day period to change your life. You can read more about my impressions and how this book has influenced me on my Squidoo Lens: http://www.squidoo.com/add-more-ing-to-your-life-a-hip-guide-to-happiness
10. Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God. This gorgeous book by poet Rilke will move your soul. Split into three parts, these poems are questions, observations, and spiritual hugs to the Universe. "I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world. I may not complete this last one but I give myself to it. I circle around God, around the primordial tower. I've been circling for thousands of years and I still don't know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song?" Beautiful.
This week I am Grateful for all of the Abundance I've drawn into my life recently. Using some amazing tools, I've received so many blessings recently. I am Grateful to my Mom for introducing me to the Law of Attraction, the kind gentleman at the local photography studio who offered to do Triton's session for free, my recent Amazon.com sales, Sourcebook for hosting a contest and sending me a brand spanking new Book (Darcy's Voyage), a wonderfully profitable month at the office, the abundance of gorgeous fall days, new friendships, and all of the wonderful tools for allowing abundance into my life. I choose to continue to allow the Universe to deliver Abundance to me and am Grateful for everything I receive. This weeks Love List will highlight the wonderful tools I use to attract Abundance.
1. I LOVE the concept of New Moon Abundance Checks. Essentially, you write a check to yourself from the Universe during the New Moon each month, put it aside, and allowing Abundance to come to you. It may sound like a gimmick, but it worked for Jim Carey, and in September it worked for me! Hey, what do you have to loose, check this out!
2. The 30-Day Prosperity Affirmation. Ok, so I found out about this around the same time as the New Moon Abundance Checks. This affirmation strengthens the check, and helps bring prosperity in all forms into your life. I didn't do it for the full 30 days the past lunar cycle, but I intend to do so this time. Again, why not?
3. The Secret DVD. This fab film really introduced me to the Law of Attraction. People of all walks of life share stories, tools and experiences in this inspirational film. I loved the gratitude tips and concept of creating a Vision Board. This is not to be missed, and a great way to get started on attracting abundance into your life. Oprah featured this movie several times on her show.
4. Create a Vision Board. This is an excellent way to set goals and attract what you desire into your life. Here's a great post with some tips: How to Manifest With a Vision Board
5. Declutter your space. There is a theory that if your life is filled with physical clutter, you cannot attract anything new into your life. Sarah Wilson posted a great article on her blog with some fantastic tips to combat clutter. I highly recommend you check it out. Sunday Life: in which oprah's declutter dude peter walsh visits my apartment
6. Follow the works of Esther Hicks aka Abraham. They have several books and videos that show you how to use the Laws of the Universe in all areas, financial, relationships, etc. My personal favorite is the Sara Series, which is geared towards younger folks, but really lays things out simplistically. When you have the time, I recommend checking out this series of videos that details the Law of Attraction.
What are you Grateful for? What's on your Love List? Where have you seen Abundance in your life recently?
