Byron Katie and Law of Attraction: Part 3 – Money

Posted on by

NOTE to those registered in the August Results Workshop: Please watch this video before the call on Monday, August 25, 2008. Not registered yet? CLICK HERE

 

 

In the YOFA Results Workshop, people are finding ways to release their resistance to abundance and prosperity.  You might be wondering why or how you would resist prosperity.

Here is how we all do it.

  • We get focused on how much we don’t want what we don’t want.
  • We get fearful of the lack of money.
  • We get angry at those who have money (Especially those for whom it seems effortless.)

All that static creates a barrier.  Just like static blocks you from hearing the music on your radio, static blocks you from receiving the manifestation you are so masterfully creating.

So, if your experience is not one of prosperity, then you can know that you are resisting it.  If it’s noon and the sun is shining and your room is dark, you can know that you’ve got your curtains closed. 

It’s really simple.

The sun is always high in the sky of prosperity. The question is what are you doing with your curtains?

(First step: Forgive yourself, love yourself, know that it’s all perfect right this very moment.)

In this video, Byron Katie takes you on a delightful journey of letting go of your resistance on the subject of money.  Open your curtains and enjoy!

Love and Blessings,
Rebbie

Today’s YOFA jhe Session 8-6-08

Posted on by

xaxisabovebelowsm.jpgI did a YOFA jhe Session for the list today (including the free list).

There’s an old Joni Mitchell song that has a line in it that goes something like this:

"You know the times when you impress me most are the times when you don’t try. When you don’t even try."

Do you know that song?

It sums up today’s session and so I guess it popped into my mind as a way to share the focus with you today.

Today’s session has the effect of releasing you from the grip of ego.

I expect you to feel the results of this session in several ways.

  • You may notice a surge of courage in you.  By courage I mean power.  By power I mean access to energy.  Once the negative aspect of the ego begins to thin, your true power becomes available.  Ironically, this is the thing that ego wants and you can’t get to it when the ego is in charge.

 

  • You may also notice yourself freeing up in your willingness to express yourself.  When you are not so concerned with what others think, your light can truly shine. Ironically, the ego wants to shine and yet it blocks your light.

 

  • You may notice a more relaxed beauty in your face.  Ironically, the ego… (you know the rest!)

(For a clear description of what I’m calling the negative aspect of ego, please refer to chapter 12 of Rooted in the Infinite.)

Also, once the ego gets thinner, you can more clearly see, appreciate, and admire the power, expression, and beauty in others.

The simplest awareness you may have of this shift is that you may find yourself smiling for no apparent reason.  Just a small, gentle smile.  That is your spirit rediscovering its buoyancy.

You may find yourself connecting in bright meaningful ways with strangers.  Smiling eye contact and an acknowledgement of your shared moment.  Simple but powerful evidence of a shift.

Those who are very sensitive to these sessions may actually have big creative breakthroughs as a result of this session.  Like removing a ball and chain, when the ego releases, a whole new life is possible for you.

I’d love to read about your experiences with this jhe session in your comments here on the blog.

Thank you for your participation.

Love and Blessings,
Rebbie

Byron Katie and Law of Attraction: Part 2 You Are Good

Posted on by

Have you been around YOFA for a while now?  Have you been a student of the Abraham-Hicks teachings for years?  For me it’s about 15 years now. 

And so I have been going along my merry way quite content, not looking for much else.  I hardly even go to bookstores anymore.  I have pretty much stopped looking for answers in that way.  There is nothing that is important to me that Abraham is not answering. 

In fact, as my relationship with Law of Attraction has been maturing, I have come to understand something very clearly.  (And if you come to my workshops you know this is also what I have come to teach.) 

This "in-a-nutshell" realization is that the only thing I need to do is release resistance. That’s really what it all boils down to.  Once there is no resistance (or less than usual), the inherent goodness in any situation can shine through.

Yes, you can say it more positively.  You can say that it’s about allowing, but since it’s the resistance that is so "in your face" when it’s there, it becomes clear that the work is just to keep letting it go.

And so, while I have not been looking for answers or new teachings, I have been asking for years now for more and more ways to release resistance.  I have been looking for ways that are well suited to me.

Well, Katie came as a fireball in my window – a brilliantly recognizable answer to that asking.

And so, here is a wonderful instance of Law of Attraction bringing to me a most extraordinary answer and manifestation.  And since I think you may have a similar asking to me, I pass this on to you.

If you are already in Katie’s world, your sharing here is welcome with open arms.  If this is all new to you, please comment here as you explore The Work of Byron Katie: www.TheWork.com

Today’s YOFA jhe Session 8-04-08

Posted on by

xaxisabovebelowsm.jpgI did a YOFA jhe Session for the list today.

Today’s session focused on the love in your heart.

 Today I am doing a new jhe experiment to advance your results with the jhe sessions.

This experiment does not change the jhe sessions themselves, but it changes how we communicate about them.

Instead of me talking to you about the value of cultivating the love in the heart through your inner alignment, I invite you to talk to me about it. 

Members of the jhe Sessions, will you post a comment here?

I eagerly await your energetic contribution to the jhe of love.

With Love and Appreciation,
Rebbie

Byron Katie and Law of Attraction: Part 1 Unconditional Love

Posted on by

Byron Katie may not be teaching about Law of Attraction, but what she offers might just be the most important piece of the whole puzzle.

In the YOFA Results Workshop we’ve been looking deeply into the activity of releasing resistance to what is.  It can start as opening to the perfection of each moment and it can evolve into truly loving what is.  Then, the desires of the heart manifest because there is no more resistance.

In my experience, The Work of Byron Katie is the simplest, the most elegant, and the most effective tool for releasing resistance.

I recommend you go take a look at her site if you are not already familiar with her work.

Then we can talk more about how this all fits into your YOFA Training .

Please comment below.  Do you see what all this has to do with our work with Law of Attraction?

Check back for part 2. . .

Love and Blessings,

Today’s YOFA jhe Session 7-30-08

Posted on by

I did a YOFA jhe Session for the list today.

Today’s session was focused on your ability to access wisdom even in challenging situations.

We sometimes confuse wisdom with knowledge but they are very different.  Simply sensing the difference is the doorway to wisdom.  (For an expanded distinction, refer to chapter 14 of Rooted in the Infinite.)

It can be easy to access wisdom when you are happy and clear.  But what about when you feel upset, burdened, or challenged physically, emotionally, financially, or in a relationship that is important to you?  Those are the times when wisdom is so valuable and we usually cannot access it in those very moments.  In fact, the upset itself is evidence of our disconnection from our inner knowing.

Today’s jhe session was a cultivation of the wisdom of the body, of the heart, of the elements within you.  Today’s jhe session encourages an alignment within you that "sneaks in" and "undermines your upset."  It brings the peace that comes with wisdom.

You may notice it in your relationships as a deep sense of compassion even if you are the target of someone’s anger.

You may notice this emergence of wisdom in your work as a clear sense of where to place your priorities and what to do next.

It may show up in your body as a feeling of centeredness and slower more careful motions.

If there is an area of your life that is particularly challenging, today’s session may give you some insight into yourself that moves you forward on that subject.

The wisdom that comes through in you is completely unique and so I’m speaking in broad generalities here because it can be so different for everyone that no words can easily describe this.  But when you feel that wisdom come though you it is unmistakable.  It is a rock solid knowing of something that opens the path before you, clears the clouds, and floods ease through your physical presence.

Thank you for being part of this YOFA jhe Session.

With Love and Appreciation,
Rebbie

Today’s YOFA jhe Session 7-26-08

Posted on by

xaxisabovebelowsm.jpgI did a YOFA jhe Session for the list today.

This was an excellent session.

To sum it up in one word, I would characterize this session as ease.

You may notice the results of this session in several ways:

The ease may show up in your body as a release of deep tissue tension that you have been holding for a very ling time.  When that ease occurs in your structure, the results can be seen physically as increased range of motion, greater flexibility of joints and greater strength in muscles.  You may feel it as a more relaxed and upright posture.  Your posture may spontaneously become more energetically upright.

The emotional counterpart to this ease feels like you greet life with an internal smile. You expect the best and give people the benefit of the doubt.  This soft approach to each new moment of now brings many wonderful surprises.  Fear, worry, anxiety, anger, and depression cannot live in this field.  They disperse and disappear.  And what is left is who you really are, which is always brilliantly joyful.

Since this session begins with where you are, the results you notice will be movement in the direction I have just described.  If you have been struggling and challenged physically and/or emotionally, this session may simply manifest as a peaceful sleep or a moment of noticing beauty in nature.  You can recognize that as a moment of access to greater ease.

I am deeply grateful for the privilege of doing this jhe session for you.

Love and Blessings,
Rebbie

Embodied Insights

Posted on by

banner-results1.jpgWhen you want to get results in your life . . .

I mean you really want to get results. . .

what do you do? 

Do you try harder?  Do you work harder?  Do you push with all your muscle?

A small group of us have been meeting monthly on the phone and the web and we are taking an opposite approach.  We are exploring what some might call "Let go and let God."  In the Abraham-Hicks language it might be called "Letting go of the oars." 

The people in this ongoing workshop are learning how to bring themselves into alignment with their own essence.  They are feeling the pulse of their own true desire. And they are coming into conscious relationship with Law of Attraction. 

Here is an email I received after the last workshop.  Thank you, Kim, for offering your permission to publish this.

Dear Rebbie,
 

I REALLY enjoyed the workshop.  Even though it is long, the time just flies by and I didn’t even notice the minutes ticking away.  I’m very busy and have a lot to do, so this is a big thing for me.  🙂 
 
I have been working with your material and with the Abraham/Hicks material for around a year now and have found it immensely helpful. Previously, I had no awareness about how I was holding my energy and holding myself back.

Even with a pretty good understanding of the material, I still had deeper insights last night.

I was more of an embodied insight related to the quote that you talked about -something to do with calling/creating the desire with your thoughts and receiving it with your actions.  As I was going to sleep, I could sense the projection of my thoughts when I thought about my desires and how my body felt joyful and open.  

I stayed in this blissful state for as long as I could.  I realized how much I loved it here.  As I imagined my desire coming to me, I suddenly felt how my body/energy/vibrations would close down.  I associated this feeling to times when my desire was being answered and yet the overflowing amount that was coming to me felt overwhelming and I started constricting. 

This is when I understood the process of the action and receiving the desire and this is where I need to keep my attention and practice more these days.  When the desire is being answered the action, I learned in that moment, has to do with maintaining the openness and blissfulness with all that is coming so I can then choose with more clarity from the answering of my desires. 
 
It is always a wonderful experience to embody a teaching that someone offers me and a special treat to feel it last night after you talk.  The experience of sensing the concepts in my body help me to remember the concepts forever and put them into practice more easily. 
 
Thank you for the workshop and the cue that allowed my body to learn this work more deeply last night.  It makes much sense right now to my actions and feelings of overwhelm when I experience abundance in proportions more than I am used to, leading to a sense of "backing off" and the resulting experience of my work "backing off".  As I grow more adept at the action of allowing I’m looking forward to being more continuously open to the abundance of my desires.
 
With joy, appreciation, and blessings,
Kim

Today’s YOFA jhe Session 7-21-08

Posted on by

xaxisabovebelowsm.jpgI did a YOFA jhe Session for the list today.

As a result of this session you might have sudden and vivid memories. 

Today’s session focused on the space that your past occupies in your now consciousness.

By aligning this aspect of your consciousness you unlock the potential in your future.  The tone of this alignment was deep and sober.  I expect this session to have the effect of quieting down the chatter in your mind.  It may also bring parts of you that you feel you have lost over time back into your reach.  If you used to sing as a child or you used to ski or play the flute or anything else that was a part of your sense of yourself, a part of you that you really loved but lost touch with over the years, you may find that part of you coming back into your awareness.  Invite it in and see how it can live in you now with or without that activity.

Aligning your past in your now is a powerful practice and you can fortify this alignment by doing the exercise on page 229 of Rooted in the Infinite.

I consider it a great privilege to do this jhe session for you.  Thank you.

Today’s YOFA jhe Session 7-19-08

xaxisabovebelowsm.jpgI did a YOFA jhe Session for the list today.

This session focused on the root chakra.

As a result of this session, I expect you to feel a sense of inner peace.

This session promotes your emotional balance independent of circumstances.

If there is something that is weighing heavily on you at this time, this session can help you find your center so that you can move through it to a clearer experience. 

If things are going well for you, the heightened alignment of the root gives you greater access to wisdom.

Thank you for being a part of this jhe session.

Love and Blessings,
Rebbie
