Choosing a Better World with Love
The
Law of Attraction, as brought to us by Esther Hicks and Abraham,
is as follows:
That
which is like unto itself is drawn.
What
this means is that like attracts like. So whatever you're thinking
and feeling, you're going to attract more of it to yourself.
This
is especially important to remember when you're making a choice.
And you make choices a lot more often than you may think. For example,
every emotion you feel is the result of a choice you made about
how you're going to react to an event, person, situation and more.
In fact, you choose how you're going to react to everything
that comes into your awareness.
Granted
the majority of responses you have to anything are driven by your
subconscious mind. Scientific research has shown that approximately
90% of all human thought is subconscious programming. However, you
can override your subconscious with the use of intentional, conscious
choices... also known as Freedom of Choice.
Here's
an example: you're in a restaurant with friends and are receiving
bad service from a waitperson who is being snippy with you. You
can choose to think that the waitperson is ruining your time with
your friends and become angry, which will have the effect of adding
to the negative energy. Or you can choose to think that the waitperson
is having some personal trouble which allows you to feel compassion
for them, thus easing the negative, hostile energy and shifting
it into the energy of love.
Remember
that emotions are energy and as such, are radiated outward from
us. The waitperson in the above example was emitting angry energy
outward, which everyone around her sensed. Most people won't be
aware that they're responding to the anger energy of another but
their own energy and thus their behavior will shift accordingly.
Therefore it is of great value for you to pay attention to how you
are choosing to react and respond to situations and people.
If
you want a better world, then choose it. Begin now to consciously
respond to your world with love.
Here's
one way you can easily shift into doing that:
1.
Review your previous day's events. Make a list of any and all
encounters that you can remember.
2. Note
next to the encounters the emotion you felt during each of them.
3. Go through the list and at each one ask yourself, "How
did the emotional energy affect the result?"
4. If it wasn't a postive, productive result then how could an
emotional energy of love (compassion, understanding, patience,
caring, kindness, etc.) have produced a more positive response
or result?
5. Replay the encounter with a new visual using the energy of
love. Notice now how the encounter shifts to a more positive,
productive, and pleasant experience.
With
daily practice, this method will support you in easily and naturally
responding to your world with love. As you do so, the higher frequency
of the energy of love that you'll be radiating outward will be shared
with all around you. The effect will be felt by all around you,
and they will respond by shifting into the higher frequency of love,
which in turn is radiated back to you.
And
so the love energy that you radiate will continue, like ripples
in a pond, radiating outward, growing larger and traveling further.
And it all begins with you and your choice to respond to your world
with love.
Peace
and Love,

Just
What Does a Life Purpose Coach Do?
(And How Do They Do it?)
First,
let's define Life Purpose Coaching. Just what is it? Here's my definition:
Life Purpose Coaching is a personal, inner
growth process guided by a professionally trained coach (me!)
that manifests in a higher quality life for the client (you!).
So
now that you know what it is, how does it work? Here are a few of
the many tools I use with my clients during a coaching session:
Listening
When
I was going the first of the three coaching schools I attended,
one of the most important things I learned was the three levels
of listening:
- Level
1
- Hearing the what the client is saying. This is the level that
most people use 90% of the time when they're listening to someone
else speak. Although it would seem that Level 1 is the most important
and most used method of listening in life coaching, I use the
other two levels more often because they offer greater and more
valuable information not available in normal listening mode.
- Level
2 - The words the client is using, their tone of voice, the
volume of it, and more offer vital information during coaching.
For example, the words the client uses give much insight into
what they believe and how they operate in their world.
- Level
3 - Noticing any visions, thoughts, emotions, and physical
sensations received by the client or the coach. Level
3 is the magic place in coaching. Often I've been astounded by
the client's response to the visions I share with them that I've
received as I'm listening deeply what they're saying.
Reflecting
Often
people become so used to their stories that they don't really hear
what they're saying. This is when the reflecting done by a life
coach comes in handy. It's common for my clients to be stunned into
a moment or two of silence as they hear the words they've been using
to describe their life, job, relationship, and more. It serves as
a wake-up for them to begin using other language to describe things
in their life so that they have a different attitude and belief
about them. By doing so, they begin to achieve the results they
want.
Asking
Questions
Life
coaches don't have the answers, but we sure do have the questions.
We don't ask just everyday questions. We ask questions that open
the client to new ways of thinking. Questions that are penetrating,
challenging, insightful, and more. The result is that the client
opens to new awarenesses and opportunities for changing those things
in their life that they're dissatisfied with.
Homework
To
continue the client's progress that begins during the coaching session
I assign homework for them to do between sessions. Then during the
next session we talk about the results acquired by the client when
they did the homework. If they didn't do the homework then we talk
about what stopped them so they learn about dealing with blockages
in their life.
This
is just a few of the aspects of Life Purpose Coaching. To learn

Overcoming
the Winter Blahs... Naturally!
The
lack of light during the short days of dark winters affects us all,
particularly those of us who live in the northern hemisphere. The
Winter Blahs aren't relegated to only those who live in Northern
locales, though. People who live in sun-infested states such as
Florida, California, Nevada also suffer from SAD.
The
Winter Blahs are technically known as SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder).
SAD describes pretty accurately what it's like to experience how
the lack of light affects our health, both emotional and physical.
Learn
what you can do naturally (without prescription drugs or expensive
trips to a tropical country) to relieve the depression, lack of
energy, weight gain, and other debilitating symptoms of the Winter
Blahs.
