Law of Attraction: What exactly can we attract?

Diane had a great question: Okay, I’m trying to read up on the LOA, and I have yet to see the movie [The Secret] (but I will!),so forgive me if this question is answered in the movie. Can we attract situations into others’ lives? For instance, if someone is sick, can we attract healing vibes for them, or only to ourselves? Thanks!

The Mountain Behind the Mountain

I’m reading through a new book I bought recently, Creating a Charmed Life by Victoria Moran. It features a collection of 75 short essays about how to bring more joy, meaning, and simplicity into your life.

One of my favorite essays from the book (so far) is called, “Give Up Your Mountain.” By “mountain” she means the foreboding issue that stands between you and the life you want to be living. Everyone’s mountains are different. For one person, it might be haunting memories of an abusive childhood, for another it could be an addiction, for someone else it could be financial struggle.

Motivation: Don’t Wanna but You Gotta?

Filed under Motivation

I have been struggling hard the past few days on trying to do the stuff I know I need to do. (cue whiney voice) But I don’t wanna! I feel rundown and tired, and my bed keeps calling to me. I haven’t even felt like watching TV, and you KNOW there’s something wrong when my favorite programs don’t interest me. I’ve felt achey and headachey and weak, maybe I caught a smidge of a bug or something.

More on Reiki and Meditation

Filed under Energy, Meditation

Yesterday I had my second Reiki session and it was even more powerful than the first, except in a quieter sort of way.

The first session was intense, and the second seemed gentler — but the energy seemed to penetrate more deeply into me also. Afterwards I felt so incredibly BALANCED. Balanced from within. It’s hard to describe, but I felt calmer, more centered, and more grounded.

Simplifying Your Life

Filed under Personal Development

My husband and I have an ongoing battle about the “stuff” we accumulate in our home. While I do admit to some packrat tendencies of my own, I also like things nice and clean and simple. I go through periods of time when I’m gathering and storing up stuff (like books, clothing, office supplies, and other miscellaneous items) — but then I also get into moods when I realize I don’t need all this stuff hanging around and I either sell it or give it away. I love those “purging” phases because my surroundings feel so much calmer and more open, rather than crammed full of clutter and chaos.

Reiki Healing Session

Filed under Energy

Yesterday I had my first ever Reiki healing session done.

We have a few cousins on my husband’s side visiting from Colombia right now, and they are staying with my inlaws. Last weekend we went to meet them. One of them is a woman around my age named Adriana. Though she speaks limited English and I speak almost no Spanish, we did manage to communicate pretty well, and discovered that we have a lot of the same interests.

Decision-Making Tips

Filed under Personal Development

Decision-making seems like it should be a simple process, but sometimes we can find ourselves vacillating back and forth between one or more choices, truly unable to make a solid decision.

One of the things that makes decision-making so unnerving is the fear of making a wrong move. We may hesitate about making any kind of decision because we’re not sure of what the outcome will be. We get mired in “what ifs,” paralyzed by fears of what could go wrong. We worry that choosing wrong will cause an avalanche of bad luck to tumble onto our heads, or even worse, our decision will be wrong AND irreversible.
