I'm a little surprised at myself that I didn't start this blog off with this book. Not only is it my favorite "Law of Attraction"/manifesting-your-life book, but it is probably the one I would recommend first to anyone new to the ideas that have been popularize by "The Secret". Grabhorn relates very useful and straightforward principles about manifesting what you want in your life in a very warm and direct many. She does something that I haven't found with any other author in human development field, at least outside of the foreword or introduction of books ... she gives her personal experiences about discovering the ideas she discusses and who she applied them in her life.
The primary theme that helped me from this book is Grabhorn's emphasis on feelings.
Says Lynn Grabhorn,
“I had been on a ‘how-to’ quest for years, knocking my head against more brick walls than I care to think about. I had read almost every ‘you-can-have-it-all’ book ever published, diligently followed countless esoteric and spiritual avenues, and just couldn't understand why my life...though okay...was so tough. Life seemed to be just one big struggle, and I was fed up!
“Then I discovered these simple jewels about emotions ruling our lives. Not only did I do a financial about face, but everything I had been studying became crystal clear.
“Why on earth we never knew these simple truths before is beyond me, but we got ‘em now, by golly, and I hope to heaven the whole world reads them!”

This was huge for me, because I tend to naturally be way to analytical, which could sometimes lead to unintentional cynicism. I could always think my way to holes in logic or possible roadblocks. With the "feelings" approach, I somewhat bypassed the hardwiring and was able to focus on letting my higher self work. I had primarily been missing her Step Four: "Expect it, listen and allow the universe to bring it." She talked about not always feeling like she had to jump on a white horse and ride to the rescue. This was exactly how I had been taught to act; "do something!, do anything!, do it now!"
Another tip that I use almost daily now is what she called "Buzzing on demand". I think we all would get that rush at certain times when something goes right for us...when we make a basketball shot, when we find ten dollars in old jeans, when our favorite football team scores. Well, as part of her Step Three, Grabhorn illustrates how to develop this feeling on demand, and not be subject to external circumstances to provide it for us. Its a blast! I don't want to give away too much of the book, but just imagine for a minute being able to spontaneously generate that feeling of "YEAH!!!" at any time. Driving to work -- "YEAH!!!", doing laundry -- "YEAH!!!", going to lunch -- "YEAH!!!". You get the picture. Then when you develop this, she advises mixing in a desire or intention that you want to manifest and "voila!", you're taking a huge step toward creating your life the way you want it to be!
Check out the book and let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
