The Law of Attraction-Because it feels good!

Posted on Oct 6th, 2008 by EfferVaCious : EfferVaCious EfferVaCious
Istock_000003076973xsmall

For many years now, I have been practicing the Law of Attraction.  Since reading one of my very first introductions to the Law of Attraction way back in the early 80's, I have been consciously & unconsciously using the techniques of Law of Attraction.  This little red/orange book that was a second hand book that my mother bought at a Salvation Army store, & was very well worn.  I read this book in my room front to back in one night.  I was a changed person from that point on. 

I have since read, listened to, & held on tight to all my Universal Law books.  These books & audio's have helped guide me & give me balance & understanding to the world.  The Law of Attraction has been so powerful for me & as I look back on all the accomplishments & goals achieved while using this law still astounds me.  From relationships to guiding my children, from jobs to wealth, this is truly my time.  Every day, every corner I turn is abundant.  I went from feeling hopeful to feeling expectational.  I expect as I open the door, look in the mailbox, read my email, meet others, and so on.  I expect greatness in everything.  The practice & consistency of my thought patterns, the ingraining of my beliefs & meditations have brought me to a point of complete change in behaviours from the person I remember being. I am a changed person.

I am someone I enjoy being.  I am comfortable & inspired being with me now.  I am excited to connect & reconnect with me in my daily meditations. I no longer loathe myself when I look in the mirror everyday.  I no longer wish for things to change on my physical body, "oh I wish my thighs were a few inches smaller, oh I wish my breasts were more perky," and so on.   I remember that 'Physical Wish List' was so morbidly long & tremendously unloving.  I remember that people always use to tell me that I was "so intense."  This to me sounded so negative & also something that I could not quite change.  I now know that this 'intensity' was a disconnected passion within me.  I had a 'passion' that was not being tapped into & allowed to be expressed.  I had a void, hole, or space that was being ignored year after year.  Anxiety & unrest would build year after year.  My authentic self was just waiting for me to catch up.  To reconnect & move in alignment with it. I am now on track. I know now when I travel off my track.  I can feel when I am moving away from my authenticity.  So, I bring myself back in alignment with me, my authentic self.  Now I am passionate with a vision to create, & re-create.

If there is anything I can say & guide to anyone who may be wondering, thinking, or pondering the idea of learning more about the natural laws of the Universe, it is that these laws are to help all humans become more human.  There is something very exciting about being human.  We have the ability to care, feel, learn, expand in awareness, love, & so many other emotions we can sense.  When we practice these laws in their most authentic version, it is about feeling good.  Being the truest form of you.  Your authentic self, your spiritual self, your guidance system, your source, your own connection to the Universe.  And this my friends is pretty profound once you are tapped in.

As I grow, expand, & feel great gratitude for in my journey & where it takes me, I FEEL GOOD!  If what you do doesn't feel good, don't do it.  It is your source guiding you to wake-up and move in a more positive/nurturing or compassionate direction.

This makes me feel good!  I am feeling good in my skin.  I am feeling good about what I now know & who I have become.  I feel good!  I know that all is well & I am loved.  I know that I can now love more every day as I grow on this journey of living.   Life is passionate - I am passionate.  I am alive & all is really, really, good!  So you need to ask yourself in every transaction you do throughout your day; "does this feel good?"  After a few months or even weeks of practicing these intentional mind games with yourself you will notice a shift that happen in your nature, your ability to flow with life instead of struggling against it.  Everything you do will be to align yourself with a truly positive & intentional life that supports & works in tandum with your authentic self. 

Thank you to all for helping us to get the word out & pay forward some inspiration on our new clothing line.  My gratitude & appreciation to everyone that has helped!     http://www.effervacious.com

We have some exciting new designs & lines coming this winter - stay tuned!

Our "PASSION" line is coming soon!

My best wishes always,

Sincerely,

The Economy-When 'Not' to go with the flow

Posted on Oct 8th, 2008 by EfferVaCious : EfferVaCious EfferVaCious
Istock_000004634518xsmall
When 'not' to go with the Flow!

Well, with all of the negative & worrying news plastered everywhere about the uncertain economy it is no wonder that people are feeling a little on edge & down.
I wanted to be sure that I was not going to follow that dismal path but instead wanted to go against the flow of what the majority appears to be focussing on; 'suffering economy.'  So, to this I say; "I choose not to get sucked into the turmoil!" You see, if you allow the comments/beliefs/news releases etc., of what the mass majority concedes to be, (be it good or bad) affect your success in life then you will forever be chasing after someone else's interpretation of what is good in life, not yours.  

I cannot remember the last time I read a newspaper, or watched a newscast, or logged on to a news site to get the 'low down.' Because as far as I was concerned, when I made the decision to cancel all of my subscriptions & choices to go there, the 'going there' really did bring me 'low down,' & I wanted no part of going somewhere that took me down.  
I had to disconnect to get reconnected if that makes sense.  And even 
though I don't subscribe to all the news outlets, you would have to be completely stuck in the sand not to know that there is a buzz of gloom that hangs with the words economy/banks/interest rates/investments and so on. 

So, I know what is going on out there, but I consciously choose NOT to let it affect how I intend my day, my events, my business, and so on. I merely choose not get all caught up in the swirl of it.

My advice to anyone finding themselves listening in to the drama, or getting pulled in, is to take a step back. Do an emotional check-in with yourself & ask yourself how your feeling about being involved in it. If you are feeling down, sad, bad, helpless, broke, or any other negative catalyst - move on & get back on track. You always have the answers within you. Listen to your inner guidance system & go with its' flow, not the flow of the popular majority or what seems to be the buzz of the moment.

Every time my husband informs me, or reminds me, or tries to get me sucked into a conversation about the state of the economy or the presidential debate (even though we are Canadian & have our own voting to be done) [he appears to be very intrigued in US politics] he pokes at me to 'come in and be on my side" conversation & I just say, "It's all good, don't worry." Then he says "what do you mean it is all good don't you know this is happening etc....." And off he goes in another gloom rant.  So I say, "Honey, I am not saying the state of the economy is good or bad.  I am saying that I choose to think of every situation will work out, it always does.   He rolls his eyes & says "ok hunny!" {so I guess he gets frustrated when I am constantly practicing this "Law of Attraction" thing on him ;)}

I know it is hard to get around something so generic like that, especially when people are loosing their jobs, and mortgage payments are being sacrificed, but in every situation, you can bring yourself to feeling better by starting with something 'good.'  You can never get any positive results, ideas, or solutions when you feel bad about something.  So, don't go there.   Build yourself into feeling good first, then do your brainstorming about what to do.  The ideas & answers 'will' come.

If I choose to wallow, or join in all the discussions about how bad things are, it just makes me feel bad, & I won't go there willingly. Feelings of being unworthy, broke, and so on is not worth it. So I chose to go somewhere good. If it is bad, I will somehow talk my way into it being good. I "EXPECT" it will all be good if not amazing. I mean really, the decision of what is good or bad is only each persons interpretation of it anyhow.

Even in the toughest financial times, recession & lay offs, there seem to still be people that come out on top ( and I don't necessarily mean those that have obtained a financial gain.) These are people who have remained steadfast in their vision of an abundant life.

You don't have to have millions in the bank to think like a millionaire, or feel like a millionaire, or believe that you are coming into prosperity in every situation in your life. Feel it & live it in your vibration throughout your every day life. You will notice after a while that as everyone around you is worrying & scurring (which will make the situation worse) you are coming into 'feel good' abundance. It could be a chance meeting with someone, or a phone call, or a letter, or even a free coffee because the servers at "Starbucks" made too many drinks on the previous order. (this has happened more times that I can count to me)

So, instead of riding on that dismal worry-train to nowhere land, don't get sucked in by the hype of how terrible things are - live your day in expectation, & in eagerness in waiting for your fortune's - [however small they may seem - a coffee is a coffee & is a sign you are on the right path of expectation]

Now more than ever is the best time to start on a path of changing your daily thought patterns.  If you have felt yourself getting drained, sad or worried about the state of things, or conversations around you then take a step back and regroup.  Deliberately intending to be a part of good conversations that serve benefit to you & others is a great start.  Check in with how your feeling is a great way to check in with your own guidance system.  This guidance system or gutt feelings/emotions, will tell you whether you are on track or drifting.

Listen to your inner self & get back to living a good life instead of a scared & worried life. Focus on your current abundance & think, feel, & believe of your prosperity coming. Your thoughts, your family, your tenacity, your health, and so on...make an appreciation list of all of your current abundances. Then make a list of things you want to have, obtain, or be a part of. Your goal list - is still applicable even if times are tough! Times are only tough if you believe they are. If you let the negative energy come into your belief systems & let the negative flow of the news & the industry carry you with it - then it is only a matter of minutes before you feel the difference within yourself of the shift taking place. Feeling negative, or bad is a shift that is telling you that you are turning away from your true essence of your true 'goodness.' Your essence only wants to be good & only be surrounded by good.

So, the next time you feel yourself going with the current of a negative flowing river, stop yourself & shift it back to your source, your essence. You will ALWAYS know what is best for you. Listen. If it makes you feel sad or bad, or not enough, then get back on your track!

Times are good! I have never felt better! I have never looked better! My family & I have so much fun! They are healthy, I am healthy! Life is pretty good.....And build it from there.

Always try to start off from somewhere good - then build your reality from there....

Hope this has brought a little good to someone somewhere! My hope is for your happiness in each day!
Feel good first - then move forward! It will almost always work out to bringing you to a 'better than expected' place & results!
Peace Out & "BE" abundant!
Stay tuned for our "Passion & Inspire Greatness" lines coming this winter!

If Anything - it is about Connection

Posted on Oct 10th, 2008 by EfferVaCious : EfferVaCious EfferVaCious

 If anything - Connect!edit | delete 
 Just wanted to end the week on a high note....This week has been an amazing
week - the Universe has been pulling all the stops in showing me that
I am on the right track.  Something so cool just clicked within me after another
Universal "click" fell into place for me.  It has been said that when you know
you are in alignment with your desires, things just start happening.  People
start coming into your life, phone calls start happening, emails start
coming in and a buzz is created...you flow with it and you begin to realize that you have created greatness.  Well, amongst all the enlightenment & good things happening
it was not the 'results' that had me so stoked.
It was the looking at how I have grown in doing things I would have never
done before.  Putting myself out there & connecting with the most awesome
 people as a result of it.  

I have learned that it is not about the results per say, it is about the process.  
What you learn & gain in the process.  The growth - or the expansion as
 "Abraham-Hicks" would say.  It is so true.  
In running my business, if I had done this 8mths ago, I probably would have
not created all these blogs & talking with, marketing myself to some
amazing people.  I did not carry the confidence or self-worth that I have
now or the ability to understand that it is not about being the best or
getting a sale/success on every attempt at something.  It is about the
growth & allowing to ride this path & above all connecting with all the people
 along the way.  The most important connection yet has been with getting to
know who I am & what I am really about. This life may be filled with all the
things we need to learn our own lessons, but what you need most is a
respect & partnership with yourself to have a full, happy, vibrant, & successful
 life.  It doesn't matter if everything you do is a success in numbers, sales, or
anyone else's version of goalposts - it is about you & the happiness you
carry with you through life.  Can you be truly happy in the ride your on?  
(And I don't mean car you are driving) 

Have you made the time to connect & see the heart of life in everyone, in life,
in you?  

Everyone's story is a little different & each person is good - at the core of it all
there is good.
Try to see it & you will be amazed at what you attract in return.  That is the
connection we are meant to experience - some connection with others
that allows us to see things about our own growth.

Very tre-cool!  Crazy cool...anyhow, not sure if it all makes sense or just a
abstract ramble but had to throw it in there.
Peace out and my blessings to all - "Check out our "PASSION & ENERGY"
line coming this winter.

Sincerely,
Joanna

With the eyes you connect! Kids have it all figured out!

Posted on Oct 14th, 2008 by EfferVaCious : EfferVaCious EfferVaCious
Familyatsunset
I read an article a while back about things you can do to connect with your kids when life gets busy. This list seemed so obvious in its text, but after taking a minute to think about how many times out of my day I was taking to connect with each of them I knew I could do better.
So I started practicing the little things that really didn't seem that little after all. To them I could see, was transforming. I could literally see them relax in knowing I was 100% there with them, present in their moment. Our play time was filled with more laughter & fun.

Then about 3 weeks ago my daughter Hannah, who is turning 2 at the end of Nov., started to do this 'thing' that really woke me up. They say that your children are sent to you as gifts from God to teach you what you need to learn in life & also what you can teach them. Like a pair of glasses that is just meant for your eyes, these children are just meant for you. I believe this without a doubt....

When out at a play-group date with our friends down the road, the kids were in a circle on the floor playing & the moms where also on the floor around them, all talking & catching up. As the buzz of toys, books, puzzles, & chase started to ensue around us, Hannah plops herself on my lap, takes her hands to each side of my face, manuevers it so that I am staring right at her & she just stares at me. Her hands still on my cheeks, looking so intently into my eyes. Even writing this now I start to well up wanting to cry.....She has the ability to stop me in my tracks & wake me up.
She is telling me in her own way to "stop, slow down, look at me!" So there she sits on top of my lap, holding my face & just looking into my eyes. She just stares. Stares.

I remember breast feeding her & I would stare into her eyes & talking sweet nothings to her, & savour every minute of her eyes, her face, her wholeness. As they grow, life gets so busy, we get busy, we get distracted, we flutter. So her way of feeling connected with me, even though we are together 24/7 & think we have a very close connection spiritually, & physically but she still feels that once a day, this is what she needs from me to reconnect, to study, to learn, to soothe, to love with me. She does this now every day. My friends & husband think it is so surreal & terribly cute but it is so much more than that....
She has brought me to tears in doing this - not for the act of it in the moment (because this alone is so indescribable), but for the power it has given me to be a better mother & a better person.

In each time she does this, it reminds me of the level & depth of love I have for her & for myself. Thanking God that she has been brought to me for me to feel what she is capable of & reminding me what I am capable of. I look forward in every day knowing that we will have "our moments" to connect, see & touch each others soul's & spirit's that float within us waiting for a touch of life to wake us up. Freaken-ly TOO COOL!

I had always known from a very young age that I wanted to be a mother & now that I am, I remind myself each day that this gift is so precious. I consciously try to savour every day with them & know they have taught me endless lessons on the most important thing - love! Connection with one another! It is awesome! It is surreal, it is amazing, it is love in its purest form, in the NOW.

I know there will be a day when she will find something new to do, or she will grow out of it, but I hope that we never loose those "our moments" of each day to connect with each other, to allow our spirits to touch....pretty amazing! So I guess my long story is a simple one & one that you probably already do - Connect with someone today! The power of eye contact is insurmountable. When you say "Good morning" to someone at work, or at home, or whatever it is your doing, in your every daily tasks, pay attention to the amount of your eye contact & your sincerity to your words. What you do & say now has a ripple effect for tomorrow, next week, next month and so on.....

My 23mth old daughter has already taught me more than I have ever learned in school, she is pretty purely amazing! My gift & my treasured gift! I now make sure I look at people more, look them in the eye when I say "hello" or give a compliment or praise. It is when you touch a soul, your eyes are the heart of your soul so look deeply into someone's eyes & mean it. Even if it is just to say "hello!"

When you look at someone, really look at them, you can connect on totally another level. Want to connect with them & you will see how that simple intention will change the outcome.

Anyhow, thought I would share a little motherhood bliss with you & maybe brought you a smile or feel-good feeling!

Blessing & Peace Out,
Joanna :)
