Law of Attraction

I read the "Secret", almost a year ago and worked on changing my ways and life with limited success.

I did not realize that there are embedded elements in my personality that cannot be forced out by just reading the book. With all due respect to the content of the "Secret" that is a must read book by Rhonda Byrnne, I have to state that there needs to be a practical approach to the "Secret".

One of the things I managed to attract in my life since I read the "Secret" is change. I attracted change in big ways, quit my mundane job and took up life with a passion. I wanted to transform my thinking, my actions and my goals.

One of the best things I attracted is "The Handwriting Analysis" course. I am just at the kindergarten level of this course re-writing alphabets but I am back to school not to learn english but to learn a new way of life that can be more satisfying.
I am assessing my personality under the microscope through every stroke of my writing, in touch with my subconscious and tuning it to what I want rather than to what my environment and my past tuned in.

So what is the Law of Attraction about?

  • We attract what we think and want.
  • Our minds have powerful energy that attract what we believe in or focus in, so if you focus on lack of money, thats what we get.
  • We attract the same people, same things and the same life because our minds are limited to a small world, our comfort zones.
  • If I believe that I am not good enough or cannot be successful then I just cant.

To apply the law:

One has to write what he wants and focus on that, believe we have it, focus on only what you want and not on what you do not want.

Let us look at how the Handwriting analysis certification course is a practical approach to the Secret.

If you have a personality difficulty with low self-worth and this is etched in your mind, it is going to be very hard to get over it.
The first step is to acknowledge that this can be changed. Then you start practicing the T bars and each time you write the T, you tell yourself that you want Self worth, not once twice but many times every day and at some point the mind believes that is "YOU"

The second approach is attracting positive people, positive energy, thoughts and emotions that attract more positive energy so you are able to practice the "Secret". The course sessions are designed to create this environment and every member attending this course will vouch for the positive energy that is abundant in these sessions.
Watching Rafi is like a large mug of Boost - "Secret of our energy" :)

If you want this post to make more sense, pick up the book "Secret" and read it. I have a copy you can borrow, let me know.

Good luck and attract the best and abundance in your lives.

Mother Teresa

Today, we studied the handwriting of a celebrity and beyond the words, the handwriting, and the traits that we discovered, I could see a passionate and a very giving person. Here was a very special person who was dedicated to her mission, dominant and emotionally expressive. She was not without imperfections or traits we would not expect in a woman of such acclaim.

The beauty of the exercise was to find that beyond our imperfections there can be a very beautiful strong and giving personality. Today, I wanted to know a little more about this woman, a saint in the making and I found beautiful verses that touched my soul written by a great leader and human being who lived in our midst:

Do not wait for leaders; do it alone; person to person

Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.

If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.

The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.

Beautiful words that can stir us into action and simple ways to find happiness.

At HII, we do not not just love but we express love in words and in action. It is refreshing to smile and hug, the words "happy morning" make one smile. Love is loaded with all the wrong emotions and has become a cultural taboo in our country because it seems to be attached to lust rather than the pure emotions of the heart that can be felt for any human being.
So why do we stir with embarrassment to say the simple line, "I love you" to our families and friends.
When was the last time you said "I love you" to someone at home or even to your spouse and children. Let not these words be mere words but words that are born from the heart that naturally knows how to love.
Well, if you still stammer to say "I love you", then say it silently when you hug and if you cant hug, then just smile :)

RYB

An interesting part of the Handwriting Analysis course is the RYB follow-up sessions. Its a Recharge Your Batteries session that is offered as an add-on to the course for a year. For someone like me who has too many eggs in my basket, it is really helps to stay focussed so its not another instant dose of energy that fizzles away before the last sip has been tasted.

In today's world a lot of the knowledge we receive is instant and gone in a jiffy too. Well we can afford to overload our fragile brains with all the pages of not books anymore but gigabytes of information that google loads in minutes.

So as Rafi says, the only way to etch our minds with new found knowledge that we need for years is to rewrite outdated knowledge, understanding and stereotypes so we can upgrade our minds too. At some point, we all go through stagnation and forget how to flow.
If we had to revise our textbooks to score better in the exams that man has devised, how do we revise to score better in the exams that the universe sets for us?

Practice change and revise the answers to the lessons of life is what the RYBs do. I really do feel like I drive myself to a RYB to refuel my energy so I do not just steer my way through life but accelerate my life to overtake my limitations and create new destinations.

Hugs

Yesterday was Day One of our certification course and the best part was meeting up with the workshop friends. So many of the members walked up to me and said they missed me. To be missed is a beautiful feeling because it reminds you once again that you are special.
Hugging also seems to be a very energizing action as I have realized and I think its awesome that we hug at HII. If you are not comfortable hugging, try it today and see how it works.
In our culture, to hug is to be physical and that is something that is inappropriate but if you believe that body language speaks louder than words, you can tell based on the energy of a hug.

A warm affectionate outgoing person would hug tighter and harder than someone who witholds himself.
Yet, we cant blame the one who cant hug completely cause he may have grown up in a family that never hugs or expresses love in physical ways.
At HII, you can hug not just one person but everyone so you can practice hugging and spread hugs to those around you.
Its easy to hug friends but to hug parents, grandparents, in-laws and your own children takes extending more than your hands, it can be very embaressing especially when you have never done it before.
On the last day of the workshop when we hugged every member, many of them cried. One of the girls was sobbing and when I hugged her she called it magic. The hug managed to shake the strongest of souls and erupted a volcano of emotions.

Hug one person today who you have never hugged before and leave a comment on your experience.
Hugs to you.

My Intro to HII in August

I attended a seminar by Rafiullah Baig who is an expert in handwriting analysis and Grapho-therapy. He sold the concept well and ensured that the audience was well humored by his stage skills. It is possible that over the years he has learned to use the power of his mind to empower his life and business. His ease with which he sold the course and the strong belief in what he believed in is what a marketing person needs to learn. There were times that the seminar was tedious because of repeated lines both in English and Kannada.
The other interesting sight was the enthusiasm he had managed to stir amongst his students. As I entered the building, I was received by a line of volunteers who wished me "Happy morning" and it continued with a whole line of them wishing me until it was almost embarrassing but it was nice to see a whole lot of hyper predominantly young volunteers.
A couple of amazing insights were that Albert Einstein used only 7.5% of his brain and I wondered how much I was using and how I could extend that.
In my search to treat my subconscious, I had quit my job, moved away from my line of work, and was at the threshold of what is not on the list of most wanted careers. It seemed like I was being exposed to very interesting fields of study in this line of exploration of the mind after almost 15 years of completing my Masters degree in Psychology and not pursuing it as my career.
The students spoke about how analysis had changed and stirred their lives and they seemed very honest.
My curiosity is not only about who I am cause to a great extent I do know that but maybe I will found out something more that I do not know or not willing to acknowledge. Beyond that I want to see if I can tap my power to enhance my abilities, to open my mind more, see things from my third eye, and discover the mysteries of the universe.
I signed up for the course in October and will wait and see what I discover and learn. Until then I sign off in my own handwriting.
