When I was a little girl, my Grandpa taught me about energy healing. He would
explain that there was energy flowing through our bodies and that you can feel it
coming from your hands. He would hold out his hands and without touching them, I
could actually feel it! He would tell me that our minds are very powerful and
whenever I was sick or not feeling well, he would run his hands along my energy
field and tell me to close my eyes and say, “My body will heal thyself’.” He told me
that I could heal my body with my mind. Interesting.
This might sound a little unusual and I didn’t realize until I became older that my
Grandpa had taught me some unconventional subject matter that I would not come to
accept or even really care about until much later in my life. He planted the seeds that
are now starting to grow and blossom. My curiosity about these topics is the reason I
wanted to create this blog.
The Law of Attraction
Several years ago I became very interested in a book and movie that had come out that
I would say sent the term, Law of Attraction, into mainstream conversation. I would talk
about it to family and friends and the topic had people buzzing. I bought the book and
the DVD and I would pass it along and I have no idea where either ended up but I hope
that in their travels they somehow touched someone’s life. The very idea that our
thoughts are powerful enough to change our lives was intriguing.
I have witnessed first hand situations in my life where I wanted something so badly that
I completely fixated my energy on it until it came true.
A few of my examples:
1.) When I was 29 I bought my first house. I drove past it and took a brochure and I
went to look at it. I would obsessively look over the floor plan and plan exactly where
my furniture would go and how I would decorate. I would talk about it to my family and
friends constantly until one day I walked out of a realtor’s office with a Welcome Home
flower in a pot, a stack of papers in a folder and new keys in my hand!
2.) A few years ago when I was ready to switch jobs I literally had an opportunity to
interview for my dream job! It was a very competitive market and I set my eye on the
prize. I prayed about it, I asked my family and friends to pray about it and send me
positive vibes. I studied everything I would need to know about the new position. I
would keep everyone updated, first interview and then the second! I still have my saved
voicemail telling me they wanted me for the job. It was a very exciting day for me.
3.) Another example on a smaller scale, several years ago I wanted so badly to win a
new large flat screen TV. Now, I know this may not sound as exciting as the first
manifestations but the background on the importance of this TV was that I had a very
old, very heavy TV that was seriously out of date. I didn’t have the money to just go out
and buy a new television and I was working for a direct sales company as a side job to
make extra money. They happened to have a month where they were giving away
electronics each week and in order to even qualify for the drawing, you had to make a
certain quota in sales. I knew it was a long shot because thousands of people all over
the country were also working hard to get their name into the drawing and they were
giving 500 away. Not terrible odds but I WANTED it. I cut out a picture of it and I put it
on my bathroom mirror. I would look at it, think about how great it would look in my
living room. I would imagine how wonderful it would feel when I found out I won. I
made my sales quota for that month and I qualified for the drawing. I’d talk to my Mom
every day about this. Finally on the day they sent out the winner emails you opened it
up and the video was either you won or you didn’t. My Mom was standing there and we
opened the email together and the video popped up that I won! We started screaming
and jumping and hugging and laughing. It felt unreal. My Mom and I looked at each
other and decided there really was something to this Law of Attraction thing.
Now, these are just a few examples of things that I focused on with intensity, with feeling
and they happened to manifest for me. My close friends tell me, “When you put your
mind to something, it happens.” If this is the case then why don’t other things I wish and
hope for actually manifest? Why do I sometimes feel lonely or sad or confused about
the direction my life seems to be going? I decided I wanted to learn more about The
Law of Attraction. I started reading everything I could get my hands on about the topic.
There is so much information out there! Then I stumbled upon an email in my inbox. I
clicked on it and watched an intriguing video about The Law of Attraction and
manifesting. I was curious about it so I paid for more information and I decided to give it
a try and I have been putting it to the test. I can’t wait to share what I learned with you!
Stay tuned …
