Half Moon Book Review *)

September 30th, 2010

Today’s Book:

Money and the Law of Attraction; Learning to Attract Wealth, Health, and Happiness
By Esther and Jerry Hicks

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!

Money and LOA

Going in, I must admit that I didn’t have a good attitude about this book.  I can’t really say if I believe that  “Abraham”  is being  “channeled”  by Esther Hicks.  Just saying the sentence makes me hesitant because when there exists, too many air quotes in a sentence (yeah, I’m an air quoter_shrug_), it sometimes becomes just too much for me.

Do I like Esther Hicks?  Absolutely.
Do I watch the occasional Abraham video on YouTube?  Yep.
Do I believe in the message?  Well, you know I DO.

It is these things that make me say; This is a wonderful book for ANYONE interested in Law of Attraction or conscious manifestation.  Even if you don’t necessarily believe in the channeling or Abraham, the information was great.

And see, I didn’t think I’d be able to say that!  I mean, not to say I’m some kind of expert or whatever, but there’s only so much information you can have on any one subject, ya know?  I may not be an expert at applying the Law of Attraction, but I AM an expert at my life and I honestly don’t have any worthy complaints.  I’ve read the books and done the work and listened to the lectures of many of the current day gurus(?).

I’m not some completely froo froo enlightened Being who sits ever steadily in the corner meditating and has learned the secrets of the Universe, but I am well read and I do pretty darn good with the manifestation thing, if I do say so myself.  So, yeah, I went in assuming I was going to be re-reading all the other books I’ve read already, only with rearranged words and different punctuation.

I was way off.  Mostly.

There HAS to be some similar information.  How could there NOT be?

But, ya know how you have those moments in life where you hear something you’ve heard a million times before, only this time it was said just slightly differently and suddenly, BAM, you get it.  I mean, you got it before… but now it just  r e s o n a t e s  inside you.  It’s no longer just information.  It’s become part of your inner knowledge to serve you for the rest of your life.

This book is FULL of those moments.  It’s like a brain orgy.

And I wanted to give you the table of contents here in the review, so I picked up the book to look at it.  It’s so extensive, there’s just no way I’m copying it all over.  I will give you the section titles.  If you’d like to see a more thorough list, clicking the book cover above will take you to Amazon where you may “Look Inside the Book” and browse the first sections.

Full Moon Group Meditation

September 21st, 2010

I feel a group abundance meditation coming on!!

Full Moon

Things are just going SO beautifully for me right now that I really want to share this wonderful energy I’m feeling.  Last night while I was out taking my evening walk, the thought just popped into my head that, if I moved fast enough, I could get the word out and gather a group to do another group abundance meditation on the full moon.

The last two were huge successes!  For myself and some others who emailed me stories of their manifestations and synchronicities.  And others still who had so much success that they sent the most generous donations my way.

We’ve really created some beautifully abundant energy when I’ve hosted these meditations in the past, so I really hope you’ll join us and manifest your heart’s desires :)

The biggest issue in the past has been timing.  So many people, so many time zones.  Seems there’s no one time that can suit all, so I’ve hatched a plan.

I’m going to host THREE.

We end up with three days of full moon so I’m going to stay as close as I can to the full light and host on the evening of the first day, the middle of the second day, and then the morning of the third day.  You can pick the most convenient time, or attend two or all three.  It’s completely up to you!

The group meditations will take place on;

Wednesday September 22 @ 10:30 pm EDT ~
Thursday September 23 @ 2:30 pm EDT ~
Friday September 24 @ 10:00 am EDT~

The exact time of the full moon is Thursday September 23 @ 5:17 am so all these times fall as close to that time as possible, while using all three days.

There is nothing you must sign up for in order to participate, but I would love if you’d drop me a line with maybe your first name, location, and the area in your life where you seek abundance.

Remember, this isn’t just about money.  This is about focusing upon increasing within our lives that which we want to increase.  If you are focusing on money, awesome!  But if you want health also or love or cars or beeswax(!) then throw it in the mix.  This is a feel-good session for whatever you want to feel good about!

How to Participate

You can participate in whatever capacity you feel comfortable.  Some of my witchier friends perform all out rituals.  Some of my more Buddhist-esk friends simply sit in a love bubble and intend great fortune to anyone reaching out for it.  Some of my more Law of Attraction oriented friends like to play with pictures on their vision boards intending their objects of focus into their own lives and the spirit of the object into the lives of those reaching out at that time.

There is no wrong way.

The point is, time and space are illusion.  We are actually no further away from each other than we are from the clothes that rest against our skin.  When you reach out with intention, you MUST connect to your intended destination.  In our group focus, your intended destination will be everyone who may be reaching out to you.  You will feel them.  It’s quite a lovely sensation.

Some people feel nothing.  That doesn’t mean it’s not working.  Intention of thought is all reality IS, therefore whether your sensory perceptions are picking up the subtle energy or not, it’s there and happening.  You can count on it.  As a matter of fact, it works better and better the more you DO count on it :)

Here’s what I will be doing.

Half an hour or so before Wednesday and Thursday’s group meditation, I will be found soaking away all tension in my giant bathtub.  Any time I really want to relax and focus, to the tub is where I go.

Then I will be found sitting cross legged on the floor in my bedroom (my sanctuary) at my altar, which is just a small collection of things gathered together that make me feel happy, centered, connected, and loved.  I will light a special candle that I intend to use for all three meditations, and then I will clear my mind of clutter and focus on reaching out to everyone who’s reaching out to me and send great imaginary tidal waves of abundant and loving energy outward from my heart.

I intend to remain in meditation for 15 minutes.  I’m going to use my free meditation timer and my very favorite of all time ambient background music, Zen and the Art of Relaxation for my bath AND during my meditation.  It makes me feel so relaxed and peaceful.

I hope you’ll give a shout out and let me know you’re there.  All email addresses are completely confidential always, as will be anything you write.  But if you’re shy, I understand :)

I still hope I feel you there!  I have so much I want to give you!!

It’s short, but I believe it packs a punch.  Keeping with the spirit of my blog, it’s all about me :)

I hope you’ll give a listen and I hope my own actions can inspire you to make changes that YOU’VE been resisting.

Have a prosperous day~
