ATTRACTION PROCESS
‘Body, mind, soul + spirit = YOU’
In my monthly “HELLO, SELF…” podcast, it is my mission to raise awareness of the many signs and ‘hello self moments’ that may have had an impact on one’s life and/or career choices.
Hello, Self…and the attraction process are always dancing as a beautiful waltz in life and yet, we are too busy trying to change the music and dance steps to fit our image of how it should be; and miss the gift of the dance. I invite you to listen to Garth Brooks lyrics from his hit song THE DANCE, as it may offer some helpful insights as to what this article is addressing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpwdwbO1uvM
Instead of enjoying the moments in life, our behavior often becomes more about controlling the moments. By engaging in that behavior, we succumb to actions of the mind and ego, thinking they know better…and, perhaps for a short time this satisfies our emotions. Just as a reminder, we as humans have been given free life choice…. as well as, of course, the results of those choices!
For some reason recently, the ‘Hello, Self…’ moments of awareness regarding attraction have hit me up to the side of my head with strong feelings and connections; without a clear understanding. It has resulted in my doing some research, as well as, evaluating my own experiences and behaviors. (Note: the driver for me was a physical attraction; but, I want to remind you that personal attractions come in many forms. Career, geographic locations, music, business ownership, personal expression such as acting, speaking, etc.).
So much of the ‘law of attraction’ information has seemed to focus on bringing wealth, winning in sports competition, manifesting dreams, etc. AND, I am not suggesting there is anything wrong with that approach. However, for me that approach seems as if those goals are generated and planned with the mind creating and controlling the outcome. And, behavioral professionals do say that all we manifest, is created in the mind or imagination first.
But, what about Hello’ Self… moments that arrive with a flash of awareness or recognition of something completely out of the ‘blue’; at least to the person experiencing it. As reflected in the contents of my book ‘THE LISTENTING and THE KNOWING’, those moments seem to act as a nudge or awakening from a higher part of the self.
In my HELLO, SELF… book and podcast, this is a concept explored with others about their own experience(s). In those conversations, there seems to be a consensus that it is possibly the relationship connection between, BODY, MIND, SOUL, and SPIRIT that equals YOU in your totality. Is it possible that many of us, including me, get so caught up in giving the mind the control, that we fail to engage our total being in living. Therefore, we may miss the nudges of SPIRIT, guiding us toward the purpose of our being on planet earth this lifetime. Will this type of controlling behavior cause us to miss the joys and opportunities presenting themselves for our human learning and pleasure?
Regardless, I want to learn about and honor all of me this lifetime. As a matter of fact, these recent happenings have led me on a journey of analyzing the ‘why’ and ‘what’s’ I experience! My life has been a lonely voyage at times; sometimes feeling lost and living as an outside observer of self, in my effort to find connection. Ever find yourself there?
I believe that engaging in and honoring our soul expression is at the heart of freeing each of us to true living. Of course, with our past teachers being from mostly societal control and expectations; it definitely will require a relearning process of listening and letting go of engrained teachings and habits.
In the next column, I will share more personal insights triggered by ‘hello self’ moments and further research on attraction. One of the keys, I suspect is beginning to pay attentions to the conversations of my entire being; not only my mind and ego.
For it has been my finding that art and artistic expression like music, song, lyrics, poetry, spoken word, movies, quiet walks in nature and; frankly, anything that quiets the noise in our being can evoke an awareness. Words alone, can be so shallow if not wrapped in a listening and knowing vibration. That is where the soul and spirit reside.
In my next article, it is my intent to expand on the ATTRACTION PROCESS from the scientific research of others. Who knows, my next book, speaking engagements and conference events may incorporate more on this subject. STAY TUNED!!!
