Law of Attraction/Lynn Grabhorn/ Abraham

[Guest guest]

Hello Listmembers,

 

I do so enjoy this list and learn so much, although I wish I had more

time to savor and jump in to the conversations. But this thread I HAD

to respond to. I read Lynn Grabhorn's book, Excuse Me, Your Life is

Waiting, then moved on to the Abraham tapes and website and

exercises. They are all life changing and profound and resonate truth

within me, BUT!! In a way, this information is making me crazy, and

causing me more stress, because, it seems to be quite a paradox, to

get to that feeling place of having what it is that you want, without

feeling lack that you don't have it yet. Does anyone else find this

incredibly frustrating? Now, if I find myself worrying about the

budget, I then think, OH NO! I'm vibrating negatively, attracting

more financial worries!!! They actually say, " Never face reality " !!!

Does that mean I don't have to ever balance my checkbook? I mean,

come on! They even say, if your intention is that whatever you eat

will serve your body and bring you health, it doesn't matter what is

eaten!! I gotta tell ya, after inhaling too much Easter candy during

a stressful period, that just isn't true, at least not for me, maybe

because I really believe that chocolate will make me fat. IT DID!!

 

AND, it doesn't help matters that I'm a Pisces, two fish swimming in

opposite directions!! So, I always see both sides of the coin. Would

really love to hear others take on this, since it sounds like several

are reading these books.

 

Love and light,

Kathleen

Kathleen,

 

I haven't gotten this book yet, but want to read it after hearing so many good

things about it. But I am very familiar with the

principles of attraction, and use them in my life. I do believe that we create

much more of our reality than we realize, as Rich said. I

think it's good to keep our thoughts focused on what we do want, rather than

what we don't want. Yet, I don't believe we can attract

things that go against the physical laws of the universe (calories for

instance). I also think there are other 'laws' that are as yet

undiscovered by the scientific community, so I believe there is a lot more that

we can do, than we now realize. Like people often say,

electricity was available long before we knew it, we just hadn't discovered it

yet. I think there might be very specific aspects to

attracting and manifesting that we are not aware of yet, so I remain as open as

I can be. But I do believe that there is some reality that

all the positive thinking in the world is not going to affect. I know others

here will think that is limited thinking on my part. There

is a chance that we can change things that don't now seem possible, but I think

it's as possible as it would be to change our race or hair

color or to grow a new limb. We have DNA and we have physical laws. We may

never be able to change that or we may someday. For me, it

works better to keep my mind on what I do want, while staying grounded in making

good choices for my life (i.e. eating balanced meals, not

OD'ing on chocolate and trying to move through the stuff I don't want as

quickly as possible, not wasting anymore time on it than I have

to.

Hi Kathleen,

 

I haven't read the book yet but I'm dying to hear the answers to your

questions.

Kathleen,

 

I know exactly where you're coming from, but I do remember Lynn saying

somewhere near the end of her book that she had something like 17 positive

days and 13 negative in the month....

 

I've been through all the new age guilt stuff, and I dont need to use this

book to beat myself up. I did notice a few days after starting her

exercises that I was really down, much more than normal, but she did say

that its a chemical change happening, and on an emotional level I really

think stuff just came up for me to clear out....

 

I must say in the week that followed starting it I had so much

confrontation in my house, but, it's all cleared for the good and I've

settled at a much more happier place than before, and I attribute that to

reading her book.

 

I'm also not going to try and control my every feeling to make it a happy

one, thats stressful, and life isn't just about being happy....I mean, I

have things going on in my life that are sad and I need to grieve, Im not

going to focus on what I want and make it all good.....I need to remember

to do the emotional work as well....life isn't about one formula healing

all....I will get to that place of rest by grieving too.

 

I think a period of time each day where you create these feelings has a

great impact on your day, its not about intentionally trying being in that

state ALL day....

 

Kate

PS: What are the Abraham tapes?

Ah, consider the power we have over our own body - Everyone utilizes

calories differently than others and (perhaps) that is where we can

effect change: in the effect the calories have on the body that we

form with our energy and thoughts.
