I like the concept of Abundance.  Whether it’s spiritual or financial abundance.  In fact, I usually go through a list of activities that keep me in an Abundance Mindset.

What do I mean by the Abundance Mindset?

Did you ever buy a new car and start noticing that same model everywhere you go?  Did you ever crave your favorite food and begin to see it on every billboard on your way home?

When you’re in the Abundance Mindset, you are thinking about financial and spiritual abundance everyday, 
so you start to see
it everywhere!  This state of mind opens a world of opportunities that you just couldn’t see before…

And if you’re interested in the Law of Attraction, staying in the Abundance Mindset ensures that you’re fully leveraging its power by focusing your thoughts on what you want: Abundance!

Over time, I gathered cool resources I found online to keep myself in the Abundance Mindset.  But they were all scattered across different web sites.  So one morning, I woke up and decided to pull it all together…That’s how the FREE Abundance Mindset Program was born!

The program is simple: Everyday, pick one (or more!) of the Online Abundance Activities.  Have fun with the Online Prosperity Game, tune into your Abundance with the Abundance Video, clear emotional blocks with the Abundance EFT Tap Along and much more!

Here’s an example…This is Activity 1: The Abundance Video.

…because I’d like to club them behind the head…or at least be
slightly rude to them so they can rightfully feel ashamed of their
misrepresentation!

Maybe learning to manifest what you want is supposed to be easy, but it sure wasn’t for me.  I learned about the concept of creating what you want through the Teaching of Abraham (tm).   A
jolly bunch of teachers after my own heart.  One thing was always sure
when I went to an "Art of Allowing" seminar, I was in for some serious
laughs.

Which really help get the pill down.  Because it’s one major swallow.
Even though the concepts behind the process of Manifestation have been
around for a long long time (such as in the book "Think ans Grow Rich",
1937) and have been proven to work by successful people all over the
place, it’s still a big jump for the mind. 

And that’s where I
tripped:  My mind was balking at the considerable mental gymnastics
required to use these principles.  I guess that’s probably how people felt when someone suggested that the
Earth is round (about 2500 years ago).  A concept like that just takes
a while to sink in. 

Surprisingly, one of the big problems I ran into was an overwhelming
amount of information.  Just do a search in the net for Manifestation
or, the most popular term "Law of Attraction" and you’ll be deluged
with information. 

Wanting to get results as quickly as possible, I engulfed large amounts of data every day, for months: I had several
Abraham-Hicks tapes, I had the books, I did the exercises, I was in a
study group, I was online posting about it…

Until one day I threw it all up.  It was too much for my poor brain.
The concepts were so life altering that the gap I had to fill to get
there was humongous.  I had lived most of my life in misery, with one
catastrophe after another.  My friends would call this the "Elise Saga",
when referring to my life. 

In order to turn that ship around, I had to
exert fantastic amounts of time and energy (and money!).  And it was all
too much, too fast.  So I decided Manifestation didn’t work and threw
away my books.

So yeah, Manifestation was really hard for me in the beginning.  And yet, dammit, it worked.
I DID get what I wanted, even if it often took a long, long time.
There were also times when everything lined up perfectly and it felt
like overnight magic. 

That’s probably what kept me going, and got me to come back after the big throw up.  The results.
Not only in the physical stuff, but also in my day to day level of happiness.
After all, the reason why we want the stuff is because we want to be
happy…

I spent decades being miserable, oh maybe 85% of the time…Now, I’m
happy 85% of the time.  It’s funny to me how some people think that because I’m intuitive, I always know what to do and it ensues that I’m
always happy.  Heck no!  It’s true that I typically know what to do next, but
sometimes that seems to impossible, or so far away or so plain weird that I
get down too.  But those down don’t last more than 24 hours anymore and they
don’t seem to happen as often as they used to.

It’s certainly not the 100% blissful life that I’ve seen advertised on
some of those Manifestation and Law of Attraction programs.  But at
least it’s based on reality as I’ve experienced it. 

I think learning to follow your Intuition and learning to manifest can
be tough (for some of my clients, it’s a piece of cake…I’m so
jealous!), but considering the alternatives (i.e. continuing with a life
of random crap and occasional victories), it’s totally worth it for me.

I also think that it’s always easier to find the shortest path when
you’ve arrived and you’ll looking back on your tracks.  Throughout my
work with Intuition, I took some amazingly long detours.  Like that
phase where I was so overwhelmed with information that I ended up
throwing it all up.  Never again! 

Now that I do have a good
process that works, I can look back and see the quicker route I could have taken… 

Maybe, years from now, the Applied Intuition Program
will be known as an efficient shortcut to help us bridge the gap
between our current reality and our goal to become deliberate creators,
as comfortably as possible.  That sure is why it was created.

Does this sound familiar?

You have a little negative thought ("Why I am still struggling with money") …
which turns into a bucket full of negative thoughts ("I must be doing it wrong")…
which drives you right into the manifestational ditch: a big fight with the husband, one more unexpected bill in the mail and a long waiting line at Starbucks Coffee.

I know I have been there myself often enough.  And, while I was there, I tried all kinds of ways to move on ASAP.  In the end, it always boils down to 2 options:
1) You find a way to feel better about the problem at hand.
2) You find something else to feel good about.

This is similar to what you’d do if there was a fallen tree branch over the road you’re driving on.  You can either get out of the car and take care of the branch or you can take the detour.  Both options can be productive and you’ll end up using each of them in turn, depending on the specifics of the situation.

If the branch is huge and you don’t have a chainsaw in the trunk, then the detour is the best way to go.  If it’s just a little branch that you can easily drag out of the way, it’s better to stop and clear the road.

The problems start when you systematically refuse to use one of these solutions!

As you resist the path that would be more productive, you remain stuck much longer than necessary.   I have seen this so many times that I can usually tell if someone falls into one of these categories:

Avoiders: Will not get out of the car to look at the problem, even if the detour is lengthy and painful.
Fixers:  Will not take the detour, even if nothing productive can be done to fix the problem.

Avoiders and Fixers create their own set of troubles. 
Avoiders constantly have to keep busy, running a rat race to keep themselves from accidentally stumbling upon the underlying problem.  They’ll gather up piles of resources but never use any one of them effectively.   

Fixers will spend most of their time thinking about the problem, making it much harder to manifest good, positive things.  They’ll get piles of resources and use them all at once, until they metaphorically vomit everything back up.

We all have a preference, of course.  I spent most of my life being a fixer.  And under stress, I tend to revert right back to it.  But by now, I know to change course when I realize what I’m doing.  Because there is a better option out there: The Opportunist.

The Opportunist  always chooses the path of least resistance that feels better right away.  Sometimes taking the detour (without feeling guilty about leaving the branch in the middle of the road), sometimes stopping to solve the problem (without worrying about getting a little dirty along the way).  The greatest benefit of this strategy is that it leverages LOA instantly: as you choose the best option, you get thrown even better ones to choose from!

In my experience, this is not an overnight change.  But it’s an overnight choice. For all the Avoiders and Fixers out there, the first step is to CHOOSE to be an Opportunist.  As soon as you do that, LOA will start throwing great opportunities your way.   And then you just practice, practice, practice…

Sometimes, a prospective client will ask me if, being an Intuitive, I’m happy all the time.  The answer is no.  But I am a seasoned Opportunist, which means that my bad days are short and always end up back into Well Being.

Manifestation Intuition, Law of Attraction, LOA, Manifestation

Although most of my work is based on the Law of Attraction as discussed in the Teachings of Abraham (tm), I have always been reluctant to directly talk about this concept.  Yes, I’m a chicken when it comes to LOA! 

But I have a compelling reason: My first experience with LOA (before I figured out how to also handle the Law of Allowing) was disastrous…

Initially, I figured that if I "thought positive" about what I wanted, I was sure to win the lottery within a few weeks.  I mean, how hard can it be to only think about buckets of cash?  But it turned out to be harder than I ever imagined…

The first problem I ran into was the thought monitoring syndrome.  Since I wanted to have only positive thoughts, I had to always pay attention to my thoughts and then arm wrestle the "bad ones" away.  A few days of this brought me to the brink of insanity!  Not only is thought monitoring hard but it doesn’t work.  Because the other thoughts were still there…I was just resisting them.  And by LOA, resisting a thought attracts even more negative thoughts!  That turned into one big manifestational mess.

The second problem I ran into was the halfway point syndrome  I would experienced terrible disappointment when I worked on something for a couple of weeks without seeing much tangible changes.  That’s what Abraham-Hicks calls "taking score":  When you’re halfway towards your goal but you start to think about how you’re not there yet ("where the hell is my bucket of cash?").  At that point, you are actually turning around, going AWAY from what you want.  I went back and forth for months, with piles of half-baked cakes littering my manifestational kitchen…

The third problem I ran into was the specific form syndrome.  I would focus on something so specific  (such as "Doubling my income in 30 days" or "loosing 20 pounds in 60 days") that it became impossible not to feel bad about it.  First, the limiting belief would come up ("but I haven’t lost weight for years, I might not be able to do it anymore").  Then the doubt and powerlessness would pop up to liven the party ("what if I fail again", "what if Abraham is wrong" …or worse"What if I’m wrong").  Phew, can you imagine how much contrast that created?

Soooooooo, when the times comes for me to talk about LOA, I always want to put a huge disclaimer at the bottom saying: "LOA works but it helps if you know about this, and this, and this".  Which is easily overwhelming to a newcomer to these kinds of concepts.

With all the attention that LOA is getting from mainstream (with the movie "The Secret", Oprah and even Abraham being in the spotlight), I am VERY curious to see how how the crowds will digest this fabulous concept…

Partially to address my own concerns about LOA indigestion, I created the Applied Intuition Program.   This online coaching program gives you all the shorcuts to facilitates a gradual easing into these awesome concepts, so you can feel good along the way and steer clear of the common LOA syndromes I described earlier.  And through the miracle of technology, I was able to customize each concept to the specific emotional state you’re in as you read each topic.  No book can do that for you!

Manifestation abraham-hicks, Law of Attraction, LOA, Manifestation, teachings of abraham

There is all kinds of things in life that can make you feel angry.  The problems related to anger do not come from EXPERIENCING it but rather from ACTING on it.  Unfortunately, in fear of the later, we choke up our feelings of anger, switch to guilt and stuff it all under the awareness carpet…

But if you want to develop your Intuition, you need to find a productive way to move through anger without getting stuck in it!  Why?  Because Intuition is based on Emotional Intelligence.

Emotional Intelligence is the ability to perceive and manage emotions in self and others.  It is also the foundation of Intuition.  It’s no accident that intuitive insights have been called "gut feelings" or "good instincts".  Although you can take your intuition to a whole new level beyond the realm of emotions, you need a strong foundation in Emotional Intelligence in order to get there from here.

Why?  Imagine that when you went to school to develop your intellectual intelligence, you decided that learning numbers wasn’t for you.  They were intimidating and you weren’t all that sure you’d need them later anyway.  Numbers are such a fundamental component of our society that no amount of education or skills can compensate for this one lack.

Now think about Emotional Intelligence.  If you do not learn to deal with anger, which is so pervasive in our society, your ability to use intuition will always be hindered.  You’ll be missing the very foundation of Emotional Intelligence even though you might be very good at all sorts of other intuitive activities.

If you think about it in terms of Law Of Attraction, the fear or repulsion you feel about anger is constantly creating it in your experience: Right the opposite of what you want!  Law of Attraction matches vibrational frequency and if you’re afraid of anger, you are a vibrational match to it! 

So what does that mean?  That you should never experience anger because you then attract more anger to you?  Not at all.  It means that anything that keeps you a vibrational match to anger is a problem.  That’s what needs to change!  The goal is is not to stop experiencing anger.   The goal is to RELEASE it as quickly as possible so that you are never a vibrational match to it long enough to manifest from this point of attraction!

Did you ever notice how it takes a while to manifest something that you want?  Well, it works both ways.  It takes a while (oftentimes a much longer while since you have resistances to it) to manifest something you don’t want.  So momentum is the key here.  By constantly releasing anger as it comes up, you never allow it to gather momentum.  So you stop attracting it to your life experience!

The secret is to EXPERIENCE anger and RELEASE IT quickly so that you never manifest from this vibration point of attraction.   There are many ways to do this and I will recommend one that has worked exceptionally well for me and my clients.

Intuitive Anger Management Process

• Make a choice.  The process of change of often seen as long, hard and complicated.  And when I used to work as a therapist, I would have agreed with that conception.  But now that I work with Intuition, there is ALWAYS a better way that is faster, easier and simple.  The first step in this process is to simply CHOOSE to find this new way and let go of your old strategy.   You can use an affirmation to anchor your choice.
• Reset your anger awareness.  Too often we deal with our fear or discomfort with anger by simply ignoring it.  In order to move forward, you first need to actually GO LOOKING for what makes you angry.  All these little feelings of anger have been flying under the radar for years, because that used to be your strategy to deal with them.  So reset your anger meter to a more truthful awareness of exactly how many times a day something makes you feel angry.
• Release your anger daily.  Can you imagine not going to the bathroom for days, weeks or months at a time?  Anger needs to be released just as often as you need to pee!  So find a technique that works for you and for every event that registers on your anger meter, release it today.  Although this might sound like work, it won’t be.  Why?  Because it will feel SO MUCH BETTER to do this than to stuff your anger!  You’ll be craving it!

A few notes about this process.  Don’t be surprised if you start seeing anger everywhere once you turn on that faucet.  There will be a rush for the door as your mind realizes that you are finally ready to move on.  It doesn’t make you a hopeless case of angry monster just because you experienced anger 47 times today. 

Happy Healing!
