As she told her story, I couldn’t help think of the Law of Attraction and how both she and her husband created their own realities. Nothing happens accidentally or in a vacuum.
The directions in life aren’t always as obvious as traffic lights and highway signs. There are much more subtle signals that men and women need to pay attention to.

For the woman in the story, she was busy raising their family, doing the household chores, and making some time for her husband. Even with their once a week “date night out” she did not know she wasn’t giving her husband the emotional support, the loving gaze, the passionate embrace that he needed and wanted.

What did he do – go look for what he wanted somewhere else. As he put out the thoughts and feelings for what he wanted, the “other woman” showed up because his wife was not answering that need at the time. That doesn’t excuse him from the choices he made or absolve him from the betrayal he created in his relationship with his wife. It only explains how quickly people can create what they want when they begin to think about it and feel ready to receive it.

He didn’t enjoy cheating on his wife. He wasn’t having the good time he thought he would no matter how it tried to rationalize it. His confession to his wife and letting go of the other woman was the only way he could come back to his truth about himself and the woman he loved and married.

It was not an easy journey mending the hurt, calming the anger, and answering the questions. What they found out about each other and their relationship gave them a starting place for an even better marriage and brighter future than either one of them expected.

If there is any tension in your relationship with your spouse or partner, first do some reading around why men and women cheat. Get educated about the attitudes and feelings that men might have that lead them to experiment with cheating. Understand what women want that might lead wives to cheat on their relationship. As you tap into these resources, many more areas of information will be obvious to you.

Second, based on the awareness you now have about yourself, have a conversation about what each of you want in your relationship. These might be some starting points:

• what needs do you have that are not being met in our relationship,
• what have you stopped asking about or asking for because you haven’t been getting it for so long,
• what makes you feel loved and special,
• what makes you feel respected and appreciated,
• what makes you feel like you’re the luckiest person in the whole world to be married to me,
• what would you like us to add to our relationship to make it even better.

From those talking points, make some plans to give each other what you each need and want. Keep each other in mind as the only person you truly want to share these experiences with and pull in the power of the Law of Attraction to create an even better relationship and brighter future for the two of you.

If you want insights and healing support at this time in your life for an issue or challenge, let’s talk about how to use the Law of Attraction to help you. Email me at Janice@OurSpiralJourney.com with the subject: How Can I Help Myself with the Law of Attraction!

Did you know you can change that? Did you know there are ways for you to take charge of what is happening?

I used to think that being “stuck” was something that just happened.

Then as I read more of the teachings of Abraham as recorded by Esther and Jerry Hicks, I began to understand this quotation: “Life is always in motion, so I cannot be stuck.”

At first I didn’t get it. After all, I was seeing the same types of clients show up, the same totals in and out of my bank account, and the same feelings about myself as compared to what my vision and dreams were to make a bigger and brighter contribution to the world.

Little by little I began to understand Abraham’s teachings about the Law of Attraction and how energy works: “It is not possible to stand still or be stuck, because Energy, and therefore life, is always in motion. Things are always changing.”

Well if “things are always changing,” how do you explain the same old stuff that shows up in my life and in the lives of many other folks I know?

Here’s the part that really makes a difference in understanding and working with the Law of Attraction. Abraham goes on to say, “The reason it may feel to you as if you are stuck is because, while you are continuing to think the same thoughts, things are changing – but they are changing to the same thing over and over.”

Okay, imagine that you have a tablet of gray paper in front of you. Every day you go to your tablet and tear off one more sheet of gray paper. Nothing exciting about that, is there? Nothing juicy to look forward to the next day, is there?

Now imagine that you have a choice of 15 different colors, 22 wonderful patterns, and 35 photo collages all in tablets of their own that you can choose from. So how would that feel, knowing you can stand in front of all those delicious choices and pick out something that really jazzes you up? Could you see yourself smiling just thinking about that?

That’s the way it works. You can keep on thinking the “gray” thoughts about the same old ideas and perceptions and beliefs that you’ve always had, or you can shift gears, switch into a better attitude, turn on some brighter thoughts and give yourself so many more wonderful options to choose from. And, every choice can give you a bigger and brighter and better result. That’s the way it works. The Universe has to deliver. You get to place your order. Go ahead and customize it to your heart’s desire!

Be assured that “every request is granted” because “there is no end to the Universal resources that fulfill these requests.” (Ask and It is Given Cards by Esther and Jerry Hicks)

Not only is there an unlimited supply from which to draw the answers to every question, the solutions to every problem, and the results for every request, “for that reason, there is no competition.” (Ask and It is Given Cards by Esther and Jerry Hicks)

So relax into knowing what you want, and being clear about that. Then stay in the focus and good feeling of what you want. Look for evidence that what you want is already showing up in the lives of others and say to yourself, “See, it’s over there… and over there… and over there. And now it’s my turn next.”

Yes, get excited about finding the evidence! Yes, get excited about your turn next! That excitement and thrill is the positive energy putting out the request for what you want. Your energy and your thoughts are more magnetic and more attractive than your words.

There is no limit to how good you can feel! And there is no limit to how often you can feel that thrill of creating what you want. Be faithful to your part of the attraction process and the Universe will do its part!

Throughout the day, stop and ask yourself, “Am I still having fun?” If you are, smile and enjoy it. If you aren’t having fun, find the best thought you can to raise your emotions up a notch.

And then choose a better thought after that one until you’re feeling more content that you were before.

Enjoy that contentment – savor it and desire it to be bigger and brighter than what it is. Think a really happy thought, hum your favorite song, look at a picture or scene that you love and feel the contentment rolling over into joy. Now you are back to having fun with your life again.

Why bother? Why not wait and see if things eventually turn around by themselves?

Because being in the fun feelings is being in your best creative energy and your strongest power of attraction. Whether you are thinking of a list of your favorite things or giving thanks for the blessings you already have, that is the place of creating even more of what you desire and choose to have in your life.

The choice is yours. But why wait? If you want to be living the life you desire and dream of, then living in a fun feeling place keeps you on top of your attraction game.

“Be easy about all of this. Life is supposed to be fun, you know. We want you to feel love for your life, for the people of your world, and, most of all, for yourself.” (Ask and It is Given Cards by Esther and Jerry Hicks)

The challenge comes when we get to the part about allowing it to come to us.

For the past two weeks, I’ve been trying to get my birdbath outside and setup on my patio. I knew the pedestal base was in the garage next to the automatic door. It’s the only thing that fits in that tiny corner. And I’ve seen it every time I opened the door to shovel the snow that blew up against the door.

I was sure the top of the birdbath was in the basement. I knew I wanted to take good care of it because it’s a handmade ceramic bowl from my aunt. But when I looked, it wasn’t down there. One of my friends called twice, and stopped over with her kids in the car, just to help me pull out and set up my birdbath. I had to turn away her generous offer, and keep looking for the missing part.

Again this week, I went back out to the garage and looked at the base thinking, “Where is the rest of you?” My eyes shifted to the shelving unit hidden alongside the SUV. In this tiny one-car garage, there’s no room to open the doors on both sides of a big SUV at the same time. There’s no room to walk between the car and the shelving unit in there, much less to see what’s on the shelves with the car parked next to it. So it caught me totally by surprise to see, less than three feet away, on top of a bag of potting soil, the gorgeous hand painted bowl sitting in all its glory.

The minute I let go of thinking it could only be in the basement, I could see it where it had always been, just a few feet away from the base.

Something similar happened to one of the members in my Master Mind group. She and her husband had a product they wanted to promote through several distributors. At a regional convention, she saw someone she recognized as a major distributor for a competing product. In her head she knew this. And yet, letting go of her thinking and what she thought she knew for sure, she approached the distributor about her product. To her surprise, the distributor was unhappy with his current source, and was open to hearing about an alternative product.

As I said before, this is the part of the law of attraction that works better without our telling the Universe how to do its job and when to get it done.

As we stop thinking about what we’re thinking is a fact or the truth, we allow ourselves to be open to a different suggestion, idea, or result. Yes, keep asking, “Where is it? Who is it? What is it?” so that we’re open to the opportunity right in front of us. And let go of the “When is it going to be here?” and “How is it going to show up?” so we can receive what we ordered, or something even better, from the Universe.

Have you had an experience like this – where you let go of thinking about it, and then suddenly found or received whatever you were looking for? Please drop a line in the response box below (or click on the comment link in Facebook) and share your thoughts with us.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

If you find yourself in need, be still and go within. There you will your Inner Self, a most loving and devoted part of yourself with only your best interests in mind.

There is no one who knows you like your Inner Self. There is no one who promotes you, supports you, and wants you to have the best life ever than your Inner Self.

Ask this most powerful part of you to show you where to find what you need whether that’s housing, food, a job, or a lover!

Ask and wait for the answer. Then pay attention to what you hear from others, who you meet, possible opportunities unfolding around you.

Nothing will happen if you do not ask! Nothing will show up unless you believe you can do this! Nothing is going to change unless you begin to look and listen with the trust that it is already here and you are simply trying to recognize it and work with it.

Begin today, right now, this very moment. Ask for what you need. Ask for the ways and means to start showing up for you today. Ask for an open mind to recognize the opportunities that are unfolding around you.

How does that feel when you do that? What difference is this making in how your day goes for you? Drop a line in the response box below (or click on the comment link in Facebook) and share your thoughts with us.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

If you said “yes” to either one or both of those questions, there’s good news for you. You don’t have to pack up and move someplace else. You don’t have to quite your job and go back to school to learn something else.

Here are three quick ways to find out what you need to get there from where you are now:

1. What do you really want?

If you’re working overtime or a second job to buy more stuff, what do you want from those things? Security? Self-esteem? A healthier lifestyle?

If you’re working long hours, under a lot of pressure and just want more time, what are you going to do with that extra time? Family bonding? Relaxation? Volunteer in the community?

Knowing what you really want helps cut through all the clutter in your mind and your feelings. Now focus on those end results you just named.

2. Is there another way to get your end results?

Could you have a healthier lifestyle without buying that home gym and get a monthly membership at a fitness center instead? Could you love yourself more by giving away the clothes that don’t fit you, and wearing the really nice things you’ve been saving for a special occasion? Could you feel more secure by cleaning out the clutter in your place, and displaying anything lovely you already own?

Right now, can you schedule your day and make it home for the evening meal with your family? Can you leave the work at the office over the weekend and plan some family time every now and then? Can you and your family find an hour once a month to help out together in your community?

3. You are already in the perfect place to get there from where you are now.

When you understand what you really want, you can find ways to get your end results quicker and easier. “Nothing has to change in your environment or in the circumstances that surround you for you to begin to deliberately allow your own connection to the Stream of Well-Being. You are in the perfect place, right now, to begin.” (Esther and Jerry Hicks, Ask and It Is Given Cards)

You don’t have to wait another day or another year to begin. You don’t need to have someone else show up or leave your life for you to begin. You don’t need to read another book or go to another class to get the information to begin.

Right now, wherever you are at, is the perfect place for you to begin to believe in and trust your own connection to the Stream of Well-Being. Right now, hold onto the name, the feeling, and the vision of the end result you want to experience. Day by day, savor your feelings and vision. Your own true self and inner wisdom will guide you into what to do, and how to do it to make your desires a reality.

Begin right now. You are already in the perfect place to begin.

We are here to learn from each other. Drop us a line in the response box below (or click on the comment link in Facebook) and share your thoughts about how you are working on your end results or what steps you are taking to begin to connect to the Stream of Well-Being.

The focus is not on the falling apart or dimishment. The focus is on transformation and release.

Nature wastes nothing. Fallen trees become homes for critters, hosts for moss and lichen, and eventually compost.

The compost begins the growth cycle all over again as the fertile soil for seeds and nutrients for growth.

What is going on in your life right now that seems to be in these final stages of transformation and release?

Take a look at your stuff:

• What do you need to sell or give away?
• What have you outgrown or maybe never even used?
• What kind of space can you create in your life for something more practical or more economical?
• Remember, the Law of Attraction cannot bring you what you don’t have room for!

Take a look at your relationships:

• Who do you need to let go of?
• Do you have any friends who are abusive?
• Are you in a relationship with someone who has no respect for you, doesn’t listen to what you have to say, treats you as if you’re invisible and not even there?
• The Law of Attraction cannot bring you better friends and a more loyal and kind partner while you are still choosing to have less than what you really want.

Take a look at yourself:

• When was the last time you looked inside and owned the full power and glory of who you are?
• When will you give yourself permission to be happy and strong no matter what else is going on around you?
• When will you choose to be okay with who you are even if no one else affirms you?
• When can you own what you’ve got to work on without fear, shame, or judgment?
• The Law of Attraction feels the vibration of who you are and what you are putting out into the Universe. There is nothing you can think, say or do to hide from the truth of who you are and how you are living.

Everything and everyone showing up in your life are some part of what you are attracting in by your thoughts, feelings, and choices you make. If you don’t like what is showing up, ask yourself what this is all about.

Is it coming your way for you to release it and let it go because you’re making better choices now and aren’t turning back?

Is it coming your way as a challenge to encourage you to step up and transform into a higher consciousness?

Ask the questions. Be still and wait for the answers to come from within.

We are here to learn from each other. Drop us a line in the response box below (or click on the comment link in Facebook) and share your thoughts about how you experienced, or are now going through transformation and release.

Do you like what you have?

Are you loving the life you are living now?

Are you excited about even more coming your way?

You don’t have to feel guilty about being blessed!

You don’t have to give away what you have.

If you feel good about sharing, know that there is always more coming your way.

In their “Ask and It Is Given” inspirational cards, Esther and Jerry Hicks write, “If you are not selfish enough to deliberately align with the Energy of your Source, you have nothing to give anyway.”

You align with appreciation and gratitude. You draw out more from the Divine Source by the law of attraction when you recognize what you do have, and are aware of all of it as gift.

They go on to say that “Some worry that if they take too much of the pie, others will be left with nothing; while, in reality, the pie expands in proportion to the vibrational requests of all of you.”

So the more people that shift from a not-enough vibration into a there’s-enough-for-all-of-us vibration, the more these people will have what they need.

And the more people who see abundance and prosperity happening to others around them and shift their vibration from envy to celebration, the more these people will speed up attracting in their own abundance.

It is always about staying in the best place with your thoughts and your feelings about yourself and others.

Look at yourself and your life and celebrate what you have today. Look around you and celebrate the blessings of others.

Imagine that your thoughts and feelings are like the waves on a large body of water. With every powerful surge of gratitude and appreciation you are sending out into the Universe, another wave of well-being comes back to bless you and all those in your life.

Go and make waves!

Does the surprise party or gift you just received blow your mind?

Are you ready to blow the political ads off the planet?

Be careful what you say. As a matter of fact, don’t even think it. There are big ears listening, and it’s not who you think.

Today I was working with a group of energy practitioners. We were identifying and clearing our guilt programs and self-limiting personal beliefs. We were studying how these programs and beliefs manifest in the physical realm and become the energy behind our financial problems or health issues.

The examples given from the work of other experts were impressive and inspiring. Someone commented on how he’s “blown away” by this information and the ramifications this clearing work is going to have on his life.

I couldn’t help but stop a moment and focus on the language we take for granted. I know we are not consciously expecting to be lifted up and carried away or wanting our heads to explode.

At the same time, if we understand the power of the subconscious mind and the energy behind the law of attraction, that is exactly what we may be setting ourselves up for.

Energy does not understand slang or hip language. It does not understand a joke or sarcasm.

For example, think of how many times a day you hear or read the words, “blown away!” Now think about the hurricanes, tornadoes, shootings, and inflated business deals that are showing up in our country.

Millions of dollars of lives, jobs, and homes are blowing in the winds of storms, war, and financial chaos here and abroad. And it begins and ends with each one of us.

Awareness is the first step in survival. Consciousness raising is the first step in growth.
Welcome to the new earth that you are creating one thought at a time.
