How To Get Over Self Limiting Beliefs


Ramona welcomed the group and introduced new members and guests and asks that you all like us on Facebook.

Eddie Conner provided an inspiring meditation via Skype, setting the stage for us to rid our old belief systems that no longer serve us and hold us back, and replace them with healing messages and a whole new belief system. Eddie can be heard every Saturday at 3 pm Eastern on GVBRadio.com. If you click on this link and locate the June 30 show in the archives, you can listen to Mike and Ramona's show. And, Eddie appeared on the Morning Show in Australia (equivalent of Good Morning America in the US). To view his segment, click here.

Eddie Conner is coming back for his 12th year of workshops. Be sure to sign up for 5 Simple Ways to Create an Amazing Life on Thursday, July 26 and/or OMG!! How Did I Attract This? on Saturday July 28.

Ramona asked for updates and good news from the group, and showed an Abraham video The Story Source Wants to Tell. A member suggested a good book is Dying To Be Me by Anita Moorjani.
 
We enjoyed a Skype visit with Sue Elliott, editor-in-Chief of Law of AttractionMagazine and a member of our Burbank Law of Attraction group.  Sue explained that even though she has practiced the law of attraction for many years, she had to overcome her fears of failure while launching the magazine. Concerns abounded with just about every aspect of publishing - attracting articles from well-known authors, distribution, sales, and reader acceptance. Sue realized she knew how to use the law of attraction and that is what got the first issue published. With the second issue she owned it and transformed it into a more pleasurable experience. Now the publishers are in discussions about increasing the frequency of publication.  Visit her website for more information, and be sure to friend her on Facebook. Law of Attraction Magazine is available at Barnes and Noble, Walmart, and other major retailers nationwide such as D & W Supermarkets.

Some of the prevalent self limiting beliefs are that we can’t, we’re not good enough, we will probably fail anyway, we may never be able to succeed, others are better than us and he or she won’t want someone like me. There are many more. Many come from our childhood experiences. We need to recognize and replace them with a new belief system.

Abraham says “A belief is a thought that’s rehearsed over and over again.” Our challenge is to recognize these beliefs and think new thoughts until they become our new belief. For example, when we see fancy cars or expensive homes, our faulty belief system tells us we can’t have them. Abraham has a good video (not shown at our meeting) that explains how to get around these faulty belief systems. It is called Nothing is More Important than Feeling Good. The group worked together offering up suggestions to help members that felt low-frequency about the pictures, to feel good again with bridging techniques. 

When we see skinny models, our faulty belief system tells us we can’t have that kind of body.  Someone shared how she stopped seeing herself in an unattractive, overweight manner and instead began to truly see herself through the eyes and hearts of her close friends and family members that loved her unconditionally. She stopped using her physical eyes and started allowing the heart and love of her close friends to be how she chose to see herself and she's been happy ever since. 

Another member shared that when she loses weight - it always finds its way back to her. That's why now she donates the extra pounds to the Universe to redistribute into pure, positive energy.

Mike showed beautiful images of couples together and in love with one another. They were smiling, in tune and blissful in their attraction.  Ramona asked, "What feelings does this bring up for you?" Many people said, "I wish I had that." and "That looks like it feels so nice" while others wanted to hit the lovers with a truck. The group had a blast talking about these lovers and the law of attraction. They said, "What you see in others is who you are."

"I don't have a relationship but I do put myself in their shoes and think, how fun is this."

When we see people like that, it is there for us to put ourselves into their situation.  The universe is showing us that soon that could be our experience.

The number one thing everyone agreed on is it's not our place to figure out the "how" and "when" of anything. Our job is to "just be" in the flow and generally enjoy everything around us that is working - for the joy of it.

We closed with a video entitled Lighten Up.

Next meeting is MONDAY,  AUGUST 13. Please note the change to a Monday meeting night.

Love and Appreciation


Ramona welcomed everyone, especially new members, and led the sharing of “big wins” that members experienced recently.  Dean set the stage for the meeting with a meditation set to music he wrote and performed. 

The opening video was “Nothing is More Important than Feeling Good”. 

We tend to spend more time not feeling good versus feeling good.  Why is that?  Primarily because we allow ourselves to do it.  We can become accosted by coworkers who are having a bad day.  If we listen to them and join in, we end up not feeling good.  Some of the things we can do to avoid not feeling good are: do not join in the “woe is me” conversations, do not listen to the news, be careful which articles you read in the newspaper, turn off the TV and read a good book.

A member shared an experience with a competitor that brought out feelings she had no idea she had.  She found herself getting angry and lashing out at the competitor, then felt terrible about reacting in such a way.  After struggling with this, she meditated which brought back an inner peace.  No longer does she feel threatened; instead she has developed an appreciation for this competitor.

Members shared things they love and/or appreciate.  Some of the items mentioned are: our LOA meetings and our group; where life is taking us; friends and time with family; the sky and clouds and nature in general; the lake; the present time – the now; like minded people; self awareness; the ability to choose our own feelings; services provided by health practitioners; life lessons; options for renewal – anything that brings us back to ourselves; music; where we are in our lives; an increasing awareness and appreciation of the beauty of nature and the ability to not just see it but also feel it; recent health issues allowing us to feel life experiences more clearly; learning LOA at an early age; knowing everything works out in the end; the love and blessings of everyone in the LOA group; supportive friends and family; breath; trials that make us grow; people becoming more aware of spirituality every day; patient advocate while in the hospital; and life.

Some good thoughts that came from the discussion are:
·         Things don’t happen to you, they happen for you.
·         Every night think of one or five or ten things you are grateful for what happened that day.  Also do this first thing the next morning.
·         When faced with challenge after challenge, consider that you overcame each one, and each made you stronger to overcome the next.
·         In order to love someone or something else, you must first love yourself.
·         If having an issue with self love, start by looking in the mirror and appreciating one thing about yourself, such as your eyes.  Consider getting a decal for your mirror that reads “You Are Gorgeous”.

The closing video was “Life is Good”.

There were two other videos we did not show due to time constraints:
