Law of Attraction – My Unique Relationship to It

allaboutlifecoaching — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 15:00:27 +0000

Does Law of Attraction Work Differently for Each of Us?

Several years after the movie “The Secret”, information and writing about the Law of Attraction still abounds everywhere on the internet.The reasons for that are many and here are the ones I can think of:

It’s true. My husband, a scientist, assures me that Law of Attraction is. I’ve also seen What the Bleep (5 times) and read some books on quantum physics. When I’m feeling smart I understand that it is true, too.
Everyone wants more in their life that they like. How do we know we don’t like this thing or that person or a certain situation? Inside is some image we have of what we want and like. So we know if we aren’t getting it.
Everyone wants to know how to get that life and do it on purpose. Sometimes we even have bad feelings and judgments about someone just because it all looks so easy for them.
We all want to feel like the architects of our own lives.

I’ve written about it before. However, I was giving myself a little talk before because I had thoughts like, “You should be on twitter. You should do a better job of SEO on your blog, blah, blah, blah.” Anyway, as my clients know, I practice what I preach so I was busy reminding myself what is true for me and what has worked so well in my life:

I know I attract what I put my attention on. Everyone attracts what they put their attention on – Law of Attraction in a nutshell. However, we are each different. We look different, we have different genetics, etc. Obvious. But it is my opinion and observation that we each attract differently too. Some people attract what they want by going very directly after it – hence the highly successful salesperson you just love and can’t really resist either. That is not me. If I tried to sell you anything, you’d probably want to run the other way. Literally, after much experience (some of it grueling) I have learned I need to wait to be asked.
I know if I don’t get my fear and lack thoughts pretty much out of my head, I will not be attracting what I want. I will be attracting what I’m focusing on.
Since feelings follow thought and I sometimes just quickly feel things, I need to know how to process through those feelings and back to center (positive) as quickly as I can. But denying my feelings doesn’t work. It is just me trying to trick myself. So, in other words, just positive thinking doesn’t work.

Positive Thinking and the Economy Go Together

allaboutlifecoaching — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 15:00:23 +0000

If I hear “this economy” one more time..!

I know that we all can individually have an impact on this world, whether it is through our negative or positive thinking. So if we focus on our positive thinking and this economy, could we change this negative light that surrounds the world right now? I remember hearing Carolyn Myss talk about the fact that we all like to bond with each other by talking about our wounds. Well, she’s right. Almost everyone I talk to these days wants to say those two words in the title to me with a certain negative emotional oomph. Because I know how Law of Attraction works and because I am experiencing a tremendous amount of prosperity in my life, I’m not buying into this attempt to pull the planet in a negative direction. We have enough of that.

Abraham Hicks says we get more of what we focus on which is another way of talking about Law of Attraction.

Question: So what if you are in a job you’re not crazy about and you also think this isn’t the right time (see title) to try to change jobs? How can you still vibrate at a rate that will attract your desired outcomes and will feel good in your body?

Answer : Use your job experience as a way to grow yourself. Learn how to change your attitude about it and watch yourself go through that process. Find the good/lesson in this change and focus on your positive thinking.

Example from my life: In 2001 my husband and I lost all our money. We were 58 and 66 respectively. In 2003 my then 70-year-old husband got himself hired by Los Angeles Unified School District as a high school Physics teacher. Imagine starting a new career with 100+ inner city teenagers in your classes daily and of completely different background than he ever interacted with much and that’s what his daily work life is like. Imagine also being required to fulfill a 3-year Master’s equivalent program at the same time. Here’s how he’s handled it:

He uses it to grow his organization abilities which he’s ignored throughout his life.
He uses it to watch himself become an amazing teacher.
He uses it to see if how he could offer these kids a faster track into a successful life than their background, education and financial situation would normally allow.
He uses as a way to keep him taking care of his body so he can do it. You should see him doing pull ups, push ups and using Wii Fit.

I could go on and on about him but I think you can see he’s taken full responsibility for his life and his attitude and treats this situation as a way to grow. He’s gained so much by feeling in charge of his life. Rather than moaning about the state of our finances and how unlucky we were, he focused on his positive thinking and it has made all the difference.

How can you make use of your job or career to grow as a human and make a positive thinking contribution to the planet?

Six Ways a Life Coach Can Help You Boost Your Self Esteem

allaboutlifecoaching — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 15:00:50 +0000

The Life Coach Boost

Get started boosting your self esteem by hiring a life coach. Since a life coach usually helps people with any and all areas of life from career to finances to overeating, all of the work that you do with a life coach will eventually lead back to your self esteem and help to slowly (or quickly) increase it.

A life coach will:

Help you focus on the positive
Show you that you are deserving of all good
Challenge you to reach for what you are worthy of
Challenge you to reach for what you want
Point out the positive attributes that you take for granted about yourself
Gently (or not so gently) tell you the truth about where you are kidding yourself

As you work with the coach and overcome challenges that you face and reach the goals you set out, your regular experience of the focus just being on you with your life coach, will continue to help you raise your self esteem. The life coach will be someone other than yourself that will help make sure that you are held accountable until eventually as your self esteem and self confidence increases, you can learn to hold yourself accountable for your actions and learn to change the negative, critical voices in your head.

The Importance of Emotional Health

The Importance of Emotional Health

My family knows what my life is about. They know that I am a big proponent of authentic expression of feelings in pursuit of mental, spiritual and emotional health. With that in mind, my daughter sent me to this site: We Feel Fine . Their mission is as follows:

Mission

We Feel Fine is an exploration of human emotion on a global scale.

Since August 2005, We Feel Fine has been harvesting human feelings from a large number of weblogs. Every few minutes, the system searches the world’s newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases “I feel” and “I am feeling”. When it finds such a phrase, it records the full sentence, up to the period, and identifies the “feeling” expressed in that sentence (e.g. sad, happy, depressed, etc.). Because blogs are structured in largely standard ways, the age, gender, and geographical location of the author can often be extracted and saved along with the sentence, as can the local weather conditions at the time the sentence was written. All of this information is saved.

The result is a database of several million human feelings, increasing by 15,000 – 20,000 new feelings per day. Using a series of playful interfaces, the feelings can be searched and sorted across a number of demographic slices, offering responses to specific questions like: do Europeans feel sad more often than Americans? Do women feel fat more often than men? Does rainy weather affect how we feel? What are the most representative feelings of female New Yorkers in their 20s? What do people feel right now in Baghdad? What were people feeling on Valentine’s Day? Which are the happiest cities in the world? The saddest? And so on.

The interface to this data is a self-organizing particle system, where each particle represents a single feeling posted by a single individual. The particles’ properties – color, size, shape, opacity – indicate the nature of the feeling inside, and any particle can be clicked to reveal the full sentence or photograph it contains. The particles careen wildly around the screen until asked to self-organize along any number of axes, expressing various pictures of human emotion. We Feel Fine paints these pictures in six formal movements titled: Madness, Murmurs, Montage, Mobs, Metrics, and Mounds.

At its core, We Feel Fine is an artwork authored by everyone. It will grow and change as we grow and change, reflecting what’s on our blogs, what’s in our hearts, what’s in our minds. We hope it makes the world seem a little smaller, and we hope it helps people see beauty in the everyday ups and downs of life.

It is my experience that feelings and thought walk hand in hand to create our vibration. The emotional health of our vibrations is how the Universe decides what to send our way. Do you attract fabulous stuff? Do you attract not so fabulous stuff? Your creation is dependent upon your emotional health.

Three Magic Secrets – the Movie

allaboutlifecoaching — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 21:56:21 +0000

The First 37 Years – Covered in the Movie

I guess I’ve learned to make a story out of my life. This movie is the story of a part of my life. Making it into a story, has helped me learn what was good about the hard parts. Writing and producing it the way I did felt like giving birth to my 5th child. That child has taught me many things about life and myself. It is said, “from the mouth of babes”.

The Fifth Child Is Born as We All Are – as a Result of Pain

Twelve years ago my husband and I found ourselves living in Las Vegas, a very unlikely place for someone who hates heat and always said she never would want to live there – me. Some people experience the results in their lives that have people saying to them, “Be careful what you wish for” but I seem to have to stay away from “I never…” kinds of statements because then they seem to happen.

So we had just gone through one of the hard parts in life. For 5 years we ran a workshop training company for John Gray, the Men Are from Mars guy and that company ended abruptly and kind of crazily. Many things changed in our lives including no longer being able to afford our lovely home in N. California. Fortunately, my husband was offered the job in Las Vegas and to Las Vegas we went.

So since I had to do something in Las Vegas out of the heat, I decided to see if I could write a book. It was a sometimes frustrating journey but I did it! I learned that I have creative talent that I had no idea I had.

The Fifth Child’s Frustrating Years

I also had no idea how to market the book, so it sat in boxes in our house until along came the idea of making it into a Powerpoint presentation with movement and music.

That also took many, many months only to find out that Powerpoint files were really hard to show on the internet. Eventually I had it made into a flash movie which took a whole year long journey in itself and was fraught with much drama between me and the gentleman who was making it for me.

Meanwhile things got way better in our lives. We were back in Los Angeles, crazed and then uncrazed over the loss of all of our money but life kept improving as my husband found his fifth career at age 70, teaching high school Physics which he does until today, seven years later, and I am about to start training my thirteenth coach.

The Fifth Child Grows Up

Yesterday I was able to convert that flash movie that took a year to be done into a movie I can easily post anywhere from youtube to facebook or right here on my website. For that I am exceptionally grateful. At the same time in this my 70th year on the planet (I will have my 70th birthday on January 4, 2013) I am now known as the Wise Fairy God Mother and I finally believe it is the most appropriate title for this formerly very low self esteem woman, the Woman-Who-Was-the-Girl-Who-Was-the-Light. And I am grateful.

Note: If you want to find out who the Woman-Who-Was-the-Girl-Who-Was-the-Light and the Wise Fairy God Mother are, watch the movie. It’ll take you about 11 minutes and put your speakers on.

The Mystery of Attraction Marketing

Law of Attraction – How Does It Work in Marketing?

I’ve spent many years doing what I recognize allows positive change to happen. I work on healing the past, changing my beliefs and performing inspired action (inspired because now my inner energy field is free to attract what I want – Law of Attraction in action). And boy! Am I attracting!

In the last month I’ve gotten 3 new clients and attracted a really big, wonderful business opportunity that makes use of my gifts and gets me really excited.

For years I have worked to clear my blocks that keep me from abundance. I have also been coaching my clients to do the same.

Can it be so easy? Why doesn’t it always work? My experience is that most people are afraid to deal with the emotional part and so those hurts from the past must keep them bound to continue to create the same thing over and over.

It’s not a very black and white, this-is-exactly-how-you-do-it kind of thing. But I do know it takes healing, changing beliefs and then comes the inspired action. Oh, what is my inspired action? Well, because I know that my marketing efforts work best when people get to know me, I am creating ways for that to happen. I have built a place where people of all walks of life can come to feel secure and grow. This is just one of the ways that I have allowed the law of attraction to work for me and help those around me.

Law of Attraction as a Life Coach

Law of Attraction

as a Life Coach

I was looking through some older posts and felt this one would serve any readers as well as it did a year ago. (A year ago!)

From my perspective as a life coach, it is important for me to be on a path of growth and to report in on my path of growth. The intimate nature of the coaching relationship and the “if Maia can do it, I can do it too” attitude I support my clients and readers with, I feel requires me to do no less. So here’s the latest report on my path of growth:

With a financial dive in 2001 in our background and from the perspective of a couple in their 60′s and 70′s as another reality, my husband and I have been reluctant to purchase a car. As a matter of fact, I think there’s been a little of hoping “the other shoe doesn’t drop” – particularly when there’s been something wrong with our 2000 Ford Focus. “What if we had to buy a car? What would we have to cut back on to make a payment? What if our credit isn’t good enough?” have been questions floating around in our heads.
Tuesday was a very big day – for us all. This is how my Tuesday started out: I decided that a trip to a local store would work before my client call at 8 a.m. so off in the Ford Focus I went. I was driving south on Lincoln Blvd. coming to a stop behind a truck when the next thing I knew was – I hit the truck and simultaneously was smacked in the chest with the airbag. The airbag on the (empty) passenger side hit the windshield with such force that it smashed it. Other than surprise, the only other effect to me were the very minor injuries I sustained - two teeny scabs on knuckles, a mildly sore breastbone and a rapidly fading scrape from the seat belt on my neck.
By Saturday we had a 2007 Ford Taurus in perfect condition, a totaled 2000 Ford Focus, an additional source of income and an offer of payout by the insurance company tomorrow.

I learned:

Not only is Law of Attraction operating at all times but sometimes the Universe provides the last little extra bit to make my dreams come true with tiniest little help given via a slight Universe-type kick in the butt.
That I (and, I assume, you) need to experience the not getting what I want in order to give me an opportunity to work though my stuff and create the vibration I do want; i.e. feel that little tightness of anxiety over “Maybe we’ll need a new car” followed by positive self-talk, “Oh, no. You’re not going to take me down that fear path” followed by more positive self-talk, “You’ve never had lack and it’s not about to start now” followed by peace and serenity and acceptance or something like that.
The reason the Law of Attraction is also sometimes called The Law of Allowing, is that it really is a defenses all down, allowing it (plug in ‘whatever you want’ for “it’) to happen. It’s not putting up all that negative noise – thoughts, judgments, not deservings.

Of course, I don’t really know if that’s how it works, but it sure seems to be working like that in my life. How about you?
