Stand Up and Yield
Last week, I offered a story about how a LOA beginner lives in harmony with Law of Attraction. This week I offer a story about how a LOA intermediate lives in harmony with Law of Attraction. The LOA beginner learns to believe that “what I request, I receive.” A LOA intermediate user learns to do the work of releasing habitual thought-patterns and overcompensating actions, and allow the natural good. I refer to this as Stand Up and Yield.
This is one of the best stories I have on the subject:
“Thank you, thank you for arranging an appointment on such short notice. I just has to tell you this.”
My client gushed with excitement. As I felt that, I was especially interested.
“Something occurred to me” she continued. “You know how we have been talking about releasing the struggle and letting go? And remember last week I said ‘sometimes I don’t know I am struggling. I don’t differentiate what struggle looks like and feels like and sounds like on certain subjects. I don’t always realize that I am operating from an unnatural thought-pattern, because part of me thinks that is normal.’ Isn’t that funny?”
“Yes it is,” I agreed. “We all catch ourselves doing that, sometime.”
“Right. Well, this morning I woke up… let me back it up. I had dinner with a business friend I hadn’t seen for years and had a great time. And when I got home I wrote lots of appreciative thoughts. Then I went to bed. As I was waking up, I had all these happy feelings and musings rolling through my mind. And then, like an arrow, this thought zapped me. It felt awful and it sent me shooting out of my bed. That is when I realized, man, that thought is struggle. That is me struggling. It was a worry thought. It’s the same kind of thought I have said to myself over and over since I was a kid. The stuff I got from my parents. But this time, it was unbearable next to feeling that good. So I took my notebook and dropped right into a Focus Wheel. After about 6 of them, and 30 minutes, something shook loose.”
I heard her deliberately breathe and pause.
“Wow this is exciting.. good for you, “ I encouraged.
“Oh, there is more. I realized… that business is about creation. And worrying about my business is anti-creation. I have been using new technology and a never-ending stream of competitors as an excuse to worry about my business. As if by worrying I could improve things. I am beginning to trust that everything’s going my way and that Law of Attraction can resolve anything that bothers me better than I ever can.
I realized that I had one thought going through my head, one Flawed Premise as Abraham would say:
‘I can’t keep up with all of them.’
And then I realized that is not my business. It is not my work to keep up with them, whether it is technology or competitors or anything. My work is to keep up with Me. My business started from my heart, from my interest. That passion is the only thing to keep up with.
So I thought about the Natural Premise which is:
‘I can keep up with Me, or it is easy to keep up with Me.’
And then I felt this wave of relief. I felt like I did when I first started this business, all filled with fresh ideas, and excited to bolt out of bed each day. I felt a positive expectation, like I did when I was a kid. I felt…playful and refreshed. I kept repeating that phrase to myself all day.
I started to deliberately look at the marketplace and competitors as a kind of inspiration, a kind of play. Sure, I caught myself worrying, but I just let it go. If I was over-compensating with action for being off-center in my business, I stopped doing that. I said ‘All I need to do is relax and be breath. My next move will occur to me.” This is how my business started, things occurred to me. I felt so comfortable and secure because the only one I was paying attention to was me and Me.
I know we have been talking about this. I have heard you, SusanJoy. I listen to to those Abraham tapes. But it as if … it is real to me now. I get it! When I get IN the Vortex, I stay close to the reason I started this business. For the love of it. It’s not at all about keeping a scorecard. It really is how I feel good moment by moment. I just never knew that I was a prisoner of my own thoughts. I just had to stop all that. I couldn’t stand myself like that anymore. I feel this good, the business responds.”
And now, I am smiling because this is the reason I do what I do. That client in that moment of awareness. Now, it is time to offer a question: “I am so happy for you. Happy, happy. Now I have a question: do you know what you ‘did’ to let in in this awareness?”
“Yep, that is the best part. It’s all the stuff you’ve been offering, all those Abraham tools : lists of appreciation, Focus Wheels and Positive Aspects. I got tired of feeling bad, and started to get off my butt and do the work.”
And that is an example of intermediate Law of Attraction in action. It is doing the work and finding the abundance. You simply have to stand up and do the work. It is the discovery that you really are meant to thrive, if you just get out of the way. How do you get out of your way? That is for you to discover… that is your work.
Stand Up and Yield… the worry thoughts to hopeful thoughts.
Stand Up and Yield … the over-compensating actions to natural actions.
Stand Up and Yield … to the natural abundance that is your inheritance.
Stand Up and Yield.

If You Believe It, It Will Come
INspired Action Journal

If You Believe It, It Will Come
Let’s talk about the ABCs of LOA (Law of Attraction.) When you Appreciate It and then Believe It, It will Come.
When I was first introduced to the Law of Attraction (LOA) I was totally smitten. The idea of creating my life through appreciation and attraction was so intriguing. So I decided to try it out in my daily life. I would sit and appreciate the intricate beauty of orange Monarch butterflies and yellow Tiger butterflies. Or, I would admire happy little green grasshoppers bouncing in the breeze. Pretty soon these beauties followed me everywhere. (And still do.)
One fine day, I decided to take my favorite LOA game into a light-hearted round of miniature golf at the Jersey Shore. This time, I made up my mind to win the game. I decided, I intended. And then … I enjoyed the day. I appreciated the details of each hole. I laughed with my friends. I breathed the sweet, salty sea air. I enjoyed my every body movement. I played every mental memory I could of having fun and winning golf. I kept it soft and relaxed as I played from the wind mill to the water break. And in a soft-focused state, I inched closer to the prize. At one point, I felt myself “pushing.” I think it was then that an elegant lady bug landed on my score card. She was so charming and tiny. I admired her shiny, red wings with distinct black dots. I relaxed again, remembering all those butterflies and grasshoppers answering my call. And I thought…of course, things DO go my way.
I did win the miniature golf, which was a nice confirmation that I do choose the outcomes in my life. But it is the ladybug moment that I recall with a full-heart and a little tear my eye. That was when I realized that I had created a momentum, a communication line, a solid belief in LOA. That little lady bug was like Source saying, “Come this way…”
And the sweetness of this story continues. For when we returned to our B&B later that evening, the hostess met us at the door. And she said to me: “I don’t know why, but I feel like I should give you this.” It was a tiny wooden ladybug paper-clip.
To this day I see ladybugs, butterflies and grasshoppers as indicators of LOA and Source dancing though life with me. I trust completely in the steady and accurate response of LOA to my vibrational signals.
Now, it is my hope that you are inspired to choose light-hearted subjects to focus, amplify and attract in your life. It is my powerful intention that you, too, experience the brilliant moments of dancing with LOA.
And I look forward to the day that you write me and tell me of your experience of something as joyous as this last segment of the story:
For our most recent anniversary, John and I visited the place where we wed. It had been over ten years since I first heard of LOA, having danced many dances. However, what we saw that day took our breath away. Hundreds and hundreds of ladybugs filled the air, lighted on our bodies and covered the walls of the building, as if to say, “Happy Anniversary! We love sharing this dance of life with you.”
There we were, two happy people in a beautiful forest, next to a placid lake, dancing and soaring with LOA ladybugs.
If You Believe It, It Will Come. It will most definitely come!

Sink-In and Synch-Up
INspired Action Journal
A Law of Attraction Publication of Bliss Studios LLC
Sink-In and Synch-Up
Have you ever caught yourself with tense shoulders when you least expect it, or need it? There you are about to make a presentation to your client, or paying bills on the computer, or sitting at lunch with neighbors – and your shoulders are practically up to your ears. Can’t you just feel how off that is?
In contrast, have you ever watched how babies, cats and dogs just sink into their bodies? They enjoy movement. They stretch and explore. Little footsies find their way to eager mouths with utter abandon. And from this place of being so very in-synch, they shine unconditional love like a lighthouse. Our little friends teach us so much about sinking-in and synching-up with the flow of life.
And…isn’t it funny when it occurs to you that real control – whether it is about our bodies or our dreams- is actually letting go?
Letting go of control feels so good. Feel the relief as you relax your shoulders, letting them slide down while you breathe in. Sense the clarity that flows through your mind and heart as you take this inspired action. Feel the ease as you imitate the little ones and sink into a stretch with utter abandon. When you meditate, feel that moment of releasing your mind. Feel the clarity of letting loved ones freely live their lives as you focus on hoping for the best and keeping your self in joyful balance. Notice that when you look for the best outcome, people rise to meet your positive expectation. Listen for the soft inner voice and discover what makes your heart sing today.
It is such a fascinating and freeing thing to realize that life is good. There’s no need to guard against, coerce or struggle.
Allow yourself to sink-in the flow and you will synch-up with all of your hearts desires.

INspired Action Journal - Letting Loose
INspired Action Journal
A Law of Attraction Publication of Bliss Studios LLC
Letting Loose
Don’t you just adore autumn? Call me crazy, but I love the fall season for the two C’s: Cleaning and Colors. Come the cool weather, I am passionate about diving into my closets and pruning. I so enjoy picking up a pair of jeans and saying, and meaning “ah, we have had some good times.” And then, letting go and adding them to the subtraction pile. It is revealing as allow me to become aware of the stuff that just doesn’t suit me any more. And I just adore that satisfying feeling as I lovingly pack the stuff for donation. I say, “Oh, new people and new adventures await you, my old friends.” Of course, the other pay-off is the buoyant feeling of anticipation of “now what new clothes do I want?”
I bet you don’t think I am so crazy now.
And then there are the Colors. Every bush and tree is burning with red, gold, yellow and orange. It is heaven on earth to walk thorough the woods on a cool, dry autumn day.
Recently, I savored just such a heaven on earth day. My heart was bursting with appreciation as I walked a nearby forest. I saw colorful foliage. I caught a glimpse of graceful hawks soaring the skies. I watched a huge momma-spider nimbly haul an even larger egg-sac. I smiled at yellow mushrooms cleverly growing up the side of a tree. I contemplated life. I reveled in feeling good. I savored thoughts of letting loose and how well-being just flows right in.
Then I spied something truly magnificent: a mid-life fallen tree, with a huge root system. The root system was as big as an oversized table. Up close, the roots were beautiful and intricate. Many roots still clung tightly to large rocks and dirt. There it was: tall and fallen. I guess the woods simply didn’t suit the tree anymore. And I imagined new life springing up in the place where this tree once stood.
Looking at the scene, I couldn’t help but contemplate the Journey. Sometimes we let loose right away. Sometimes we cling to things far beyond the time that it suits us. Sometimes it takes a strong wind or heavy rains to bless us with freedom and new options.
Life is a process of learning what to keep and what to let loose of. And now, I’d have to say there is a third C to mention. And that is Choice. I like Choosing.
I Choose Letting Loose.

Don't Stress it, Finesse it!
INspired Action Journal
A Law of Attraction Publication of Bliss Studios LLC
Don’t Stress it, Finesse it!
How is it that some people barely utter an idea and it manifests, while others work and work with no end it sight, and no fun along the way?
Could it be that some know how to Finesse instead of Stress?
Last week, I guided a client through a Focus Wheel. A Focus Wheel is a process recommended by Abraham to get In the Vortex, the place where all creation takes place. In a Focus Wheel process we take a “problem,” flip to the “solution” and then gradually close the gap between the two. And in that process with the client, I am a kind of emotional rudder, gently nudging the client in the direction of closing the gap, or better-said, finding relief.
We started this written Focus Wheel with a typical problem: “My employment situation feels out of my control. I feel like others have a power over me, I feel like they hide things from me and have an unfair advantage.” Then we came up with the flip or solution statement: “I really enjoy knowing that I have the freedom to create my world.” That is the set-up: problem and solution.
Then we began the journey to close the gap between the two statements. We opened with a powerful statement: “I love knowing that I am a Vibrational Being. I so enjoy the power of being a focusing being. I am a signaler.”
My client brightened even more and exclaimed: “I am a beacon, a beacon signaler.” Cool.
Next, we moved naturally into In the Vortex statements. “I know what alignment feels like. And I really love being In the Vortex.” More smiles.
“It feels so good to be In the Vortex because I can feel who I really am: confident, easy, and clear-minded.” Moving faster now.
“From In the Vortex, my next steps just light up before me.”
And then, it got really interesting. “In the Vortex, I am using my focusing power with skill, not banging it out. I have discovered a kind of finesse. Finesse is a focus. And I know that Focus + Positive Expectation = Desired Outcomes. I have discovered that without my Positive Expectation, I end up banging it out.” Whoa!
“I see the Flawed Premise I have been harboring in this situation. I see that the only thing that matters is the signal, my signal, my beacon. My beacon cannot be hidden, or muffled or squashed unless I mess with my own beacon. The only thing that matters is that I send a clear beacon of my desire.” Now we were jumping up and down, with high fives!
“And now I get it. I am in very good hands. I will bask more. I will write more lists of appreciation. I will look for evidence of things going my way. I love my employment. I love these people I work with. I love what lies before me.” Finis!
And don’t you just KNOW that client is receiving evidence as we share this story, right now? You kind of expect that a manifestation is forth coming.
But the true finesse here is… they don’t care. They know it is done. They are enjoying the journey. That is the ultimate finesse.
Don’t Stress it…Finesse it!
