Join me on my creative, passionate and exciting journey as I focus my thoughts and use the Law Of Attraction and the teachings of Abraham-Hicks to allow my body to naturally obtain it's personal peak of physical perfection!
I’ve been on my Spiritual path all my life and it’s only been since finding Abraham (Abraham-Hicks), that I started to understand what faith, belief, desire and expectation are all about and how they work together.
Faith got lost to me when I found Abraham, the word faith just didn’t seem to fit into my new ideas of life. It felt old, like it was part of my past, old, outdated religious doctrine I'd learned from childhood that didn't fit anymore. So belief became my touchstone. Then I realized that it didn’t matter what word I used, belief or faith. I am a woman of spirit who believes in everything, a woman who believes deeply in miracles, in Source, in everything . . . at least . . . everything good!
Still, believing miracles happen . . . isn’t enough necessarily to attract them to me. Belief is like a candle that must be lit. Desire and expectation are match and flame to belief, the three work together and become creative. I must believe whatever I want is possible, I must have strong desire for it and I must live in a attitude of positive and delightful expectation of it. It’s a trinity.
Belief is the foundation, the structure of my life. Desire is the passion, the fire. And expectation is the charisma, the magnetism that ignites and blends all three, creating the vibration that powerfully attracts what I want to manifest, and putting me into a confident and unwavering place of allowing it to come.
Alone, if strong enough, each is capable of creating. For example with enough desire we can manifest our dreams even if we don’t believe in our worthiness. Many the celebrity diva/pop star has proved that, as she attained her dreams at the cost of what would appear to be (to others) her soul.
If your desire is strong enough, it doesn't matter what your beliefs are. If you have a desire that is strong enough, that desire will be the dominant vibration, and it will over-ride any other vibration that you have. Excerpted from the Abraham-Hicks workshop in Atlanta, GA on Saturday, September 13th, 1997 (Abraham-Hicks)
Also, believing strongly enough in something can attract it to you, as can expecting it strongly enough, but individually both are slow and not very easy paths. Certainly not the most fun or easiest ways to create. Belief alone, desire alone, expectation alone will create, but each is a slow and tedious process. Individually they simply are not as powerful.
The magic is in how each; belief, desire and expectation, complement and enhance each other. How they work together. The strength of all three blended together create a vibrational stance of power and allowing beyond our ability to imagine. We become super magnets for our good, attractors of our dreams, open vessels for the power of the universe to position our greatest desires into our lives.
When I think about how each of these relate to allowing a perfect body, I realize how important each is to creation. But I also realize that generally anyone who weighs more than they want to, has the desire factor down. I’ve never met anyone with extra weight on their body who hasn’t radiated strong . . . very strong . . . desire for thinness. It’s a part of the package, if we carry around extra pounds, with every step our desire to be thin intensifies. And often our desire to be thin is directly proportionate to the amount of weight we carry. The bigger we are, the more we want to be small. It is also proportionate to how long we’ve carried the extra weight, the longer we’ve carried it, the stronger the desire to release it. Yes, we’ve got desire covered forward and backward.
But belief . . . well that tends to be a sticking point for us. When I ask myself what my beliefs really are, I’m met with such a jumble of mixed up signals it’s amazing. How can one person, thinking about one topic, be so befuddled and complex. (OK so the answer is there are so many differing opinions on the subject, which I spent my life listened to instead of my Inner Voice. But I digress . . .)
Still important questions arise:
Ultimately do I believe I can be successful at releasing the extra weight I carry?
I’ve seen other’s do it, do I honestly believe it’s possible for me to allow it too?
What is the difference between me and them?
Do I believe I deserve to be thin, attractive and vibrantly healthy?
Do I believe it’s going to be difficult or easy?
What exactly do I believe would be required for me to be successful?
Am I willing to do that?
If not, how can I change the beliefs I hold to new ones I desire?
Is there a “diet” plan I believe in?
How do I feel about food?
Do I honestly believe food made me fat . . . or was it really my thinking?
Do I believe changing my thinking is all that is necessary to allowing weight release?
Do I believe dieting is necessary?
How important do I believe exercise is to allowing my body to find it’s perfect setpoint?
What combination of things do I believe will work for me personally?
Yes, my beliefs are the foundation of any possible change, and expectation is the catalyst. I have to decide that Yes, I do deserve to create a healthy, vibrant and slim body and then I have to know it’s going to be the easiest thing I’ve ever done in my life. I have to anticipate the answers coming. To remember that every single answer I need, is within me right now. I have to have faith I’ll be inspired to uncovering what works perfectly, and easily and joyously for me. I have to expect success!
Which of those vibrations is stronger within you . . . your hoping, your anticipating or your expecting? That expectation is a very powerful vibration. Think about what the word expect means. It means I’m thinking about something that is important to me . . . and I have already decided how it’s gonna turn out. Ooooh, that’s big! I’ve already decided how it’s gonna turn out . . . well I expected that . . . well that’s about par for the course . . . well I saw that coming . . . In other words I expected it. And we say . . . doesn’t that feel good to know that you are the creator of your experience and that you expected that right into being??? Excerpted from the Abraham-Hicks workshop in North Los Angeles on August 17th, 2003 (Abraham-Hicks)
I have to believe I can finally let go of the armor I’ve been carrying, I can finally lay it down and walk away into a new life. And I have to expect . . . as I believe, as I desire, and as I allow, it absolutely will happen.
When I shake my fist at the Universe and claim “I will have this! Once and for all I WILL create the experience of having a body at it’s perfect place of health, weight and energy! And it will be everything I’ve ever dreamed it would be!!!” . . . I have to believe that it WILL come, it MUST come.
I expect the answers will come, the ease of it will come, the joy in it will come. The weight will gently go and the process . . . every step of it . . . will be inspired, expansive and fun.
What do you expect?

We are counseled by the experts to dread the time when we will have no choice but to step up our cardio, increase our strength training and/or change whatever has been working for us so far to lose weight, in order to fool/trick our bodies into letting go of those most obstinate last ten pounds.
Even as we make headway in releasing huge amounts of body weight, we are solemnly warned, and lead to believe the last “10” pounds will be harder than all the rest combined. It’s a milestone we are persuaded to face with trepidation, as if our bodies are silently planning to attack for us just before we arrive at victory.
This pervasive attitude became obvious to me recently when I saw a thin, beautiful and very young “diet” professional talking in earnest on TV about the subject. She was young enough to be fresh out of college and looked like she had been selected more for her TV appropriate appearance than for any possible experience and true understanding of what people face when losing weight.
It became obvious as she talked that she had never carried 10 extra pounds of weight in her life . . . except for possibly the weight of the school books from her education which was her claim to expertise on the subject. She came across as empathetic, as she extolled at length the difficulty those last ten posed for others.
Bless her clueless little heart . . . and I mean that with all of mine. Because for the first time, as I listened to her, I saw the situation from my Abraham-Hicks and Law Of Attraction perspective, and I simply had no choice but to laugh. The ridiculousness of that common belief and the pervasiveness of it suddenly clarified in my mind.
Immediately I realized those last pounds are only harder if we believe they are harder. Let me provide an example. << MORE >>
There is also no “if” . . .
Recently I’ve discovered this very important fact. “If” is an insidious little word, but the concept behind it kills. It kills dreams, it kills inspiration, it kills confidence, it kills momentum, it kills enthusiasm. Now as an Aber I realize there is no permanency to killing something, since there is no death or end. So while “if” kills . . . it’s not a permanent situation. It’s like the cartoons when we were children where Wile E. Coyote is smashed by his own anvil, and he just rises back up, dazed but not dead. Whatever momentum, enthusiasm, inspiration we have that “if” kills can be regained, re-inspired, re-enthused, it can be re-energized again.
However, I don’t know about you but I don’t want to go through my life that way, carefully creating and nurturing my momentum on something I want with all my heart and then letting two little letters eat away at it only to have to build it back up again. Even if it gets easier each time, I don’t want to sabotage myself unconsciously anymore. Those two little letters when put together create havoc creatively and I simply don’t want to give them that kind of power in my life.<< MORE >>
I don’t feel sadness when I witness what is happening to her . . . to us . . . she’s had a full, long, happy and wonderful life. And she still has amazing life in her, which she fully lives, as much as she can, each day.
No . . . mostly it just feels so natural, the way it must be. One life changing, touching another, the waves they create effecting each other and expanding out to touch other lives. The circle of life itself.
I’ve been so involved in watching her circles that I haven’t had time to focus on my own. And most of the time that would be a bad thing, but in this circumstance, it isn’t. It is such an honor to go through this with her. Such an honor to spend this precious time and experience with her. I’ve put my life on hold in a way, as have my sisters, we’ve all come to realize what beauty there is in sharing, loving and experiencing fully whatever is happening.
I’ve had to put my thinking on hold, my desires on a back burner and trust the Universe to “have my back”. Between Mom, my family and The Universe, I don’t feel I have any power whatsoever over the timing of all this. An important lesson for me, patience, and surrender. << MORE >>
I love thinking about the idea that every thought I’ve ever experienced about my body, my weight, my health, and my relationship to being “overweight” has contributed to that stream in a positive way, even if those thoughts were not positive for me. I love that I now have and always will have access to the positive power of those thoughts whenever I choose to tap into them through my positive vibration. << MORE >>
What we just said to you is we wish that you felt about you like we feel about you. And when you begin to feel about you like we feel about you, everything that you've ever desired will become a reality instantaneously. There is great love here for you. And, as always, we are incomplete. Excerpted from an Abraham-Hicks workshop in Boulder, CO on June 2, 2001
I realize once we accept Abraham's assertation that we are extensions of Source energy, embodying a physical form to experience every aspect of leading edge creation, and that we ourselves are the creators . . . then how can we continue to believe that anything is impossible or even difficult for us? Even a weight issue carried all our lives?<< MORE >>
If someone disappoints you enough times, you begin to lose your trust in them. Unless you set boundaries, if you stick around long enough for them to disappoint you enough times, you lose trust in them completely. Then you become suspect of everything they say and do. It’s just a process we see in others all the time, but I’ve never looked at it from the vantage point of me doing it to myself.
It makes sense when I get some distance from “how I’ve always thought” for me to realize that every time I’ve gained back a pound I’d worked so hard to lose, I disappointed myself. Every time I “failed” at losing weight, I disappointed myself. Every time I listened to someone outside me tell me what I should be doing, or the “right” way to do it, and didn’t live up to their expectations, I disappointed myself. And I can’t begin to count how many times I’ve disappointed myself as I put a bite in my mouth, one I didn’t need physically but craved emotionally.<< MORE >>
My inner guidance is designed to assist me in creating whatever life I want to experience. However there is a catch, my inner being loves me deeply and her message is always in tune with her love for me, and the only way I can truly hear that guidance is by being on the same vibration of self love with which she sends it.<< MORE >>
When you feel fat your food makes you fatter – it does! When you feel slender your food keeps you slender – it does! You must understand that because you see people eating similarly with very different results, and you say, "oh yeah, it's their metabolism," and we say, what do you think metabolism is?!? << MORE >>
In fact using affirmations like stepping stones is how Abraham-Hicks (Abraham-Hicks.com) teaches us to move through the gap from observing what is . . . to a finding the feeling place of our own power within the situation. << MORE >>
