It's An Emotional Journey

The Work Video Intro

If you have thoughts that prevent your happiness or limit you (don’t we all!!!) then The Work is an excellent thing to look into.

I’ve been hearing about it for months in the Personal Development and Law of Attraction communities, but haven’t spent any time understanding it until recently.

Here’s a short intro video (3:30) on The Work – enjoy!

(See the video on youtube.)

Accepting Reality / Art of Allowing Podcast

Avi Marcus — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 22:18:39 +0000

When asked today what I’d really love to talk about, I realized that I’ve really been delving deeply into the Art of Allowing.

Weather that’s Sedona, feeling your emotions, or Mindfulness from John Kabat-Zinn, or the complete acceptance process from Chris Payne, it’s all about not fighting against reality which makes everything much better. Buddhism calls it “the end of suffering”.

“When I argue with reality, I lose—but only 100% of the time.” - Katie Byron

Here’s a 7 minute audio clip (mp3) about it – enjoy! (you can right click and choose “save as”)

Announcing – Free 2 Week Luck School!

Avi Marcus — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 22:00:00 +0000

I read a very cool article by psychologist Richard Wiseman about being a lucky person.
He ran a bunch of experiments, surveys, all that cool stuff.
His end result? Basically… Law of attraction – who would have guessed?!

He says that luck comes from believing that you are lucky, being in touch with your emotions, having a positive outlook, and knowing that everything that happens is for the best.

He mentions he ran a “Luck School” to help people be more lucky.
In that light, I’m thrilled to offer a 2 free week course by email on those factors.
It’s loads of fun, and I’m looking forward to seeing you there!

There’s a little more info here if you want.

The 3 Steps to Success With the Law of Attraction – Which Are You Missing?

Avi Marcus — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 15:10:23 +0000

I don’t know why exactly it took so long for it to click… all of LoA, alignment, beliefs, etc is about this:
1) Your non-conscious controls 90%+ of your actions. You can’t do much. So stop trying to use willpower and force actions, you can just relax. Just get out of the way. Allow yourself to enjoy and feel good.
2) But I want stuff! What do I do? Tell your subconscious what you want. Reprogram the auto-pilot to your liking. Visualize, use a pray-rain journal, afformations, etc.
3) Allow yourself to feel your emotions and clean them up. You can do that just by facing and feeling them instead of the usual running away. Melting old beliefs helps, too.
(Rinse and repeat.)

I was stuck on step 1 – I was trying to keep and follow a to do-list, and have really well defined goals – all of them. Silly me! I mostly neglected step 2, or when I was doing it, I was trying too hard to make sure I did it right. I didn’t let go and get out of the way.

Step 3 I’ve been getting much better at. I really love using Sedona for that.

What’s your story?

How To Cope With Resistance To Your Intentions

Avi Marcus — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 23:27:41 +0000

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”~C.G. Jung (via @miaverstraete)

The LoA approach is to focus on what you want. Sometimes, that’s a bit difficult – in that case, the common is to feel better (choose a better feeling thought) or to focus more on what you want.

I often find that difficult – shoving aside negative feelings or thoughts, and trying to move to the light.

Instead, I often try to just be aware and notice the negative that already exists in my vibe. I’m not activating a negative vibe – it’s always been there – I’m merely turning the light on. As I stop repressing it and running away from it – when I simply notice it and say “Huh, it’s interesting that that’s here!” it starts to lose it’s hold on me. Now that I’m aware, I can face it head on without being vaguely bothered by something.

It’s similar to a written process from Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain- take a piece of paper and write “Why can’t I get what I want?” and allow the thoughts to come to mind. Sit with your list and see which ones really resonate with you. You can release on those, but the very fact that you notice resistance will begin to let it go.

How do you deal with resistance?
