Tampa was fabulous.    I went down there really hoping to get a reading by either Lisa Williams, John Holland or Collete Baron Reid.  Steve is still dealing with his PTSD and Depression and I really hoped that my dad would bring through his dad.  Steve needs to hear that his dad doesn’t hate or blame him for the suicide.  I know that is the case, but guilt is a hard to overcome especially when it has been around for about 35 years.  Alas, it wasn’t meant to be.   It seems that spirits keep their personalities when they cross over.  If they were loud and pushy in life, they are the same in spirit.  The louder they are, the better the chance they have of coming through.  Well both our dads were very quiet and reserved, guess they didn’t have a chance to come be heard.

Let’s see, who else did I see…

Sonia Choquette -  That was fabulous workshop.   She is a little firecracker of a woman.  It was an energy filled, “get up and do it” workshop.  I got to see a glimpse of a previous version of me in another person there.  All the work that I did with EFT for social anxiety before I went made a big difference for me.  Even though I was surrounded by thousands of people, I was totally at ease.  There was a young man a couple two seats away from me who was very uncomfortable with the workshop.  I could definitely empathize with that feeling because I would have been the same way in the past.  You had to talk to the people around you.  You had to get up and dance and sing.  You had to touch the people around you.   You had to connect with others and yourself.  I could definitely see the “squirm factor” in him.  LOL

Wayne Dyer - I got to see a preview of a movie that will be released in January, Ambition to Meaning: Finding Your Life’s Purpose.  It looks like a really good movie so I did a preorder of it through Amazon.  He also did a keynote speech on “Excuses Begone” which was pretty good.  If you have listened to any of his stuff, it was basically the same type of thing.  He was an okay speaker, but not my favorite.  Though I will say, I actually started my journey to spirituality with him.  I was lead to him, way back when, when I asked for guidance from the powers that be.  I found his PBS special on The Power of Intention.  That actually had a profound effect on me and I did a search for more info and somehow ended up the works of Abraham-Hicks.  And the rest, as they say, is history!

Sylvia Browne - Just three words, gruff, gruff, gruff!  I think she was the least favorite of the speakers.  I know some love her gruffness, but compared to the others that were speaking, she didn’t exude the love that they did.  I prefer the love LOL

Doreen Virtue - She seemed very nice but a bit “out there”.  She definitely had a stereotypical angel airy-ness about her.

Marianne Williamson -  Wow.  Just Wow.  Her speech just about had me jumping out of my seat.  LOL I couldn’t tell you anything about the speech, at the moment, but it was POWERFUL!  I am getting CDs of the workshop and will share parts of here talk on my blog.  I *really* liked her and have started reading her books.  Something about her really synched with me.  Ahhh another teacher for me

There were tons of other workshops and talks but these were the ones that I remember going to.

It was actually really great to see how law of attraction works.  The first person I met, was when I was waiting for Lisa Williams to start.  She, Lin,  was sitting down behind me but then moved next to me because I was blocking her way.   She told me about the time she did get a reading from Lisa.  Her daughter had commited suicide and had come through for her.  I was to tuned into the suicide issue that it came and found me.

The other person I meet was actually via Lin.  Lin had met her on the plane coming to Tampa.  We were walking and talking, as a small group and I discovered that was having fertility issues and had actually been to our website which deals with fertility issues!    Had I stepped out of my comfort zone just a little more, LOL who knows what types of synchronistic encounters I would have had!

Today seems to be the day for post worthy emails

I just got an email from Ellie at Living the Law of Attraction telling me about her post, Don’t Fight Poverty … Support Abundance.

I believe in what she says and have been doing what she is suggesting for quite a while, thanks to an invite from Lyman at Creating A Better Life about a year ago.

He invited me to join Kiva and share my abundance with people seeking to improve their lives.

Since joining, I have used all affiliate commissions I have gotten from ContemplateThis.com and supported people all over the world. For me, it has been a tremendous vibration lifter (and hence why I keep investing in all these wonderful people!)

If you want to support abundance and believe in the Law of Attraction, join the Law of Attraction team at Kiva.

Hope to see you there!

I received an email from Rick Wilkes at Thriving Now and I thought I would pass it on to anyone who is interested.

When we feel helpless… and even a PART of us senses our survival is threatened… the stage is set for emotional trauma. We freeze inside, and we get “stuck” there on some level until the trauma is discharged.

The current worldwide financial events fit this scenario for many people. These are global currents that like a hurricane are not under our individual control. The wails and cries of the media and neighbors and co-workers and politicians conspire to get us “all worked up with nowhere to go!” …even if we otherwise are not financially worried… much less panicked.

This kind of trauma ties into our beliefs about money, scarcity, and security. Even more importantly, current events trigger past memories of when we felt helpless, scared, and at risk. This is where EFT can bring an enormous shift.

For those of us who do a lot of EFT, and who have been releasing our financial fears consciously over the past years, we’ve remained… surprisingly calm and confident. It sometimes feels like “Gosh, I *should* be scared, but that would be SILLY. It’s all going to work out.” This isn’t denial. This is how it feels when you can stay connected to Source Energy when everyone else’s primitive brain is shrieking.

My co-host Cathy Vartuli and I will show you how that’s done. We’ll take current fears… and tap on them. We’ll help you tune into the uneasy, anxious feelings in the body, and tap on them. We’ll explore “what does this remind you of?” and tap on those specific events. You will experience RELIEF, and see how you can discharge the frozen energies of financial trauma from your own system.

We invite you to listen and tap along. EFT is designed to let you “borrow benefits” for your own issues as you tap along (even though it may not fit your situation exactly). Here are the call details:

When: Saturday, October 18, 2008, 2:30pm EDT
Call: 1-712-432-1001
PIN: 461 796 656#

This number is listen-only, so you can really get into the tapping. We suggest you call from a place where you can have both privacy and focused attention.

Team members will be calling in on a different phone number and will be volunteering to work with us on these energies. If you would like to participate in that way, consider becoming a team member:

The first three weeks of this group coaching program are free, and it also gives you immediate access to our Attracting Financial Abundance Workshop recordings and private forum:

I’ve been meaning to write up this post for QUITE a while now. Lyman’s post today, has spurred me on to finally do it.

Affirmations. Everyone knows about them. They sound like a great idea, but how many of us actually stick with it and see measurable results? Not many is my guess. When you don’t have something and you say, over and over again, that “I am” something that you are not, it just doesn’t feel right after a while.

It goes something like:

“Money comes to me easily and effortlessly.”

and then your brain pipes up:

“What about all these bills?”
“Nothing has changed.”
“This isn’t working.”

and so on.

When I went to the Andy Dooley workshop a while back, one of the things that he talked about was 2 magic words, beginning and becoming.

Just tweaking your affirmations, a small bit, with the addition of one or both of these words, makes them so much more palatable. Your brain doesn’t squawk nearly as much as it does when you are affirming something that currently isn’t your reality.

For example:

If you are having money issues, saying “Money comes to me easily and effortlessly.” doesn’t mean diddly squat and most likely just ramps up your vibration about the lack you are currently experiencing.

But, if you say “Money is beginning to come to me easily and effortlessly”, it feels like it is a process in the right direction. It feels better than making an absolute statement that, at the moment, is not true.

Let’s say you are trying to build up your self-esteem. Saying “I am confident in social situations” warrants an instant “Yeah, right. Not likely!” If you tweak that and change it into “I’m beginning to feel confident in social situations” or “I’m becoming more confident in social situations” then it softens the resistance to the affirmation considerably.

If you think about it, affirmations, if phrased the correct way, are very much in line with one of the Abraham processes in Ask and It Is Given.

Process #12 - Wouldn’t It Be Nice If…?

When you say, “I want this thing to happen that hasn’t happened yet,” you are not only activating the vibration of your desire, but you are also activating a vibration of the absence of your desire — so nothing changes for you. And often, even when you do not speak the second part of the sentence and you say only, “I want this to happen,” there is an unspoken vibration within you that continues to hold you in a state of not allowing your desire.

But when you say, “Wouldn’t it be nice if this desire would come to me?” you achieve a different sort of expectation that is much less resistant in nature.

Your question to yourself naturally elicits from you a more positive, expectant response. And so, this simple but powerful game will cause a raising of your vibration and an improvement in your point of attraction because it naturally orients you toward the things that you want. The Wouldn’t It Be Nice If…? Process will help you let in the things that you have been asking for, on all subjects.

Ask And It Is Given - p 226

So, if you have given up on affirmations, maybe a little tweaking is all you need!
