About Wayne Dyer's New Movie

Few of today's popular spiritual teachers have touched me as deeply as Dr. Wayne Dyer. So it gives me great pleasure to announce the release of his first ever film, "Ambition to Meaning." In this compelling film, he explores the spiritual journey from ambition to meaning. The powerful shift from the ego constructs we are taught early in life by parents and society—which promote an emphasis on achievement and accumulation—are shown in contrast to a life of meaning, focused on serving and giving back. Through the intertwined stories of an overachieving businessman, a mother of two seeking her own expression in the world, and a director trying to make a name for himself, this entertaining film not only inspires, but also teaches us how to create a life of meaning and purpose. Plus some great music and meaningful messages. And I say "Hooray!" Additional cast members include: Michael DeLuise Portia de Rossi Ed Kerr Shannon Sturges

 

"Yes Man" and the Law of Attraction

"Yes Man" with Jim Carrey is the Law of Attraction movie of the year! The plot is simple: Carl Allen (Carrey) is a "no man," turning down every opportunity to stay stuck in his misery. A old friend convinces him to go to the YES seminar, modeled after Tony Robbins and his popular motivational talks. Of course, Carl's life begins to change with his first "yes."

During the movie, I kept thinking of Abraham-Hicks, and the fact that saying "no" to something only serves to include it in your vibration. I remember one particular Abraham workshop (presented by Jerry & Esther Hicks), where the message was to say "yes yes yes yes yes!" When you start saying "yes" to life, life says "yes" back!

There's one scene in the movie that warmed my musical heart. Carrey saves a man about to jump off a building by singing to him...and the crowd below joins in. So I say, say YES to life, say YES to music and say YES to this movie!

INVITATION TO SLUMBER

Are you one of the millions of people who have trouble falling asleep? Staying asleep? Unwinding at the end of the day? Of course, by Law of Attraction, the more you stress over your stress, the more of it you attract. (Or as Abraham-Hicks says, "Oh, come to me this thing I do not want.") What would happen if you replace those worries with beautiful images and soothing music? You'd be sleeping like a baby in no time!

Imagine how excited I am to introduce INVITATION TO SLUMBER,  the new Sterling Heart DVD collaboration between nature photographer and director (and my husband),  Patrick J. Murphy, and our dear friend therapeutic harpist and composer, Tami Briggs. Their 20-minute movie soothes the sleepless and relaxes the restless. Check out the 3-minute YouTube clip of this "effective non-narcotic solution to sleepless nights:"

Sleep experts suggest that preparing for bed is one of the best ways to ensure a good night’s sleep for those with sleep disorders. INVITATION TO SLUMBER is perfect for creating a peaceful environment, signaling to the body that sleep is on its way. Photographs of sky, clouds, water, mountains, oceans, trees and flowers from some of America’s most beautiful locations including the Pacific coast, redwood forests, Mt. Shasta and the Adirondack mountains were used in creating INVITATION TO SLUMBER.  The photographs are relaxing, soothing, restful and easy on the eyes, and are set to a calming composition featuring harp, flute and violin. 

Oh. One more thing. Don't drive or operate heavy machinery while watching!

LifeStory Productions Reel Really Moves Me

Today's post is kind of unusual for this blog, but I feel moved to share what I know...

My dear friend Risa Neuwirth is doing incredible work these days. A filmmaker and oral historian, Risa had a vision of creating a new business right after her mom died. Her company, LifeStory Productions, creates videos/DVDs of loved ones that preserve their stories, their smiles and their spirit for generations to come. And in the Law of Attraction words of Arthur, one of the men Risa filmed, "If you act happy, you feel happy eventually."

While we're entering the time of aging Baby Boomers, many of whom are caring for elderly parents, these LifeStory reels are nourishing for body, mind & spirit for the family, friends of family and, well, even strangers. In fact, I enjoyed watching her sample reel so much, I thought you would too!

An Orchestra of Angels Hide Secret Music

According to a story sent out on the wire services today by UPI, musical code has been found at Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland. You'd recognize the chapel if you saw "The DaVinci Code."

"A father and son team from Edinburgh claim to have found a real-life code: A piece of music hidden in carvings at the medieval chapel.

"Stuart Mitchell, 41 and his father Tommy, 75, said they deciphered a musical code locked in Rosslyn Chapel carvings for more than 500 years. They plan to perform the music in May at a concert there, BBC News online reported Monday."

It seems that there are carvings of an orchestra of angels, each holding a different instrument. There are  unusual patterns carved on cubes, that turned out to be harmonic patterns.

Why all the secrecy? Well clearly, the artists knew something about vibration and the power of music to effect the listener. Positive music effects the listener in positive ways, even in the 15th Century!

"Stuart Mitchell said the tunes could have been coded because knowledge of harmonics may have been seen as dangerous, even heretical, by 15th Century clerics. "What we have here is a recorded piece of music, it is almost like a compact disc from the 15th Century," he said.

Everything Old Is New Again!

All of the growing buzz about "The Secret" and "The Secret Behind The Secret" and Law of Attraction is somewhat amusing and absolutely terrific. Though the reality is that all of this great information has been out there for ages, ready for us to find whenever we were ready.

There have been many wonderful books written on the subject since the early 1900s. These are the "classics" in the LOA category, and I highly recommend flipping through them next time you're in a bookstore:

• The Science of Getting Rich by Walter D. Wattles
• How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie
• Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
• The Power of Positive Thinking
• The Positive Principle Today
• Enthusiasm Makes The Difference all by Norman Vincent Peale

It's the same teaching in slightly different language as the great teachers of our time -  Abraham-Hicks, Wayne Dyer, Tony Robbins, Louise Hay, Bob Proctor, James Arthur Ray, Michael Beckwith, Jack Canfield, Lisa Nichols, and many others -   with the same self-empowering messages. Like so many different radio stations with something for everyone.

Speaking of radio stations, listening to Positive, Law of Attraction Music really does raise your vibration! These days, all of my new songs are about living a Law of Attraction life. And I've been spending time in the recording studio recently, working on some new Law of Attraction music. Stay Tuned to Stay Tuned!

The Debate About 'The Secret'

There’s a serious drama raging in the media and on the Internet that has me baffled. It concerns the meteoric rise in popularity of "The Secret" DVD and book. In a single week last month, it was on the front page of USA Today, the topic of NY Times Columnist Maureen Dowd, the same week it hit #3 on the Bestseller List, and Oprah devoted TWO recent shows to it which led to a Newsweek article, Anderson Cooper and The Today Show. Almost every newspaper in the country has written about it and the upsurge of interest is positively astounding. The buzz continues to get louder and louder.

"The Secret" that is revealed during the DVD is the Law of Attraction. Simply stated, the Law of Attraction means "like attracts like," and as a result, "thoughts create things."

The media has taken potshots at Rhonda Byrne, and Law of Attraction, by association. They accuse her of everything from stealing the idea from any number of dead authors including Walter Wattles, Napoleon Hill, Norman Vincent Peale, and many, many others. They also accuse her of having too much success.

And they accuse her of being completely and totally wrong. Some call it "the latest snake oil," others call it "dangerous" because it might give someone a false sense of hope.

So here’s what baffles me – there is nothing new about Law of Attraction. Sages and teachers have been teaching the principles for years. "Ask and ye shall receive." There are many teachers today sharing the wisdom, and it’s readily accessible in the Teachings of Abraham with Jerry & Esther Hicks. Rhonda Byrne did not create the Law of Attraction. But she IS helping to bring it into the mainstream by saying it in a way people are hearing. "The Celestine Prophesy" had that effect on me in 1994, as did "Conversations With God" a few years later. It is all part of the great sea change of consciousness. Ironically, the negative attention is only serving to give Law of Attraction even more buzz! And something really big is happening as more and more people take responsibility for their own life experience. Of course, with any huge shift, skeptics and nay-sayers are obliged to dissent.

The interesting thing about Law of Attraction is that it's operating in our lives whether or not we're consciously aware of it, or believe in it. (In other words, if you think you can or if you think you can’t, you’re right!) It’s like gravity. You don’t have to think about it – it just is. All I know for sure is that I've consciously followed this path for many years, and it just gets better and better every day. These are, without a doubt, the MOST wonderful, rich, fresh and exciting years of my life.

The main key to learning how to use Law of Attraction is to pay attention to your emotions. Strong emotion, whether joy or anger, is the alchemical ingredient. What you feel is what you’ll get.

   

   "Whatever your heart desires
    The thought propels into motion
    Vibration matches emotion
    And lights up this magic potion!"
    -from Well Being Abounds on my MUSIC IN MY SOUL CD*

It is an equally sane and equally mad view of the nature of reality. What if it ISN’T true? What if everything IS random and we ARE victims? A feeling of powerlessness and depression sweeps in, and life shifts into automatic, going through the motions, hoping for the best.

Now think about the Universe being organized to reflect back exactly what we are sending out. That requires us to own our thoughts and feelings and look at the places we’re not allowing/receiving our natural well being to flow. It gives us a sense of empowerment, and we look forward to the unfolding of our days with eagerness and joy. If that's not the point, what is?   

    "You can tell by the way you feel which way you’re going -
     If you’re feeling good it means your life is flowing.
     Use your emotions as your guide
     And let the Universe provide."
    -from Reach!*

There are as many paths as there are people who walk them. Law of Attraction is a path of practical spiritual that is empowering, joyful and universal. That’s the one you’ll find me walking…

*As a songwriter, I use my music to uplift and inspire. Lately, most of my songs reflect my Law of Attraction attitude. I'll be writing later today about using Law of Attraction Music for Manifesting. Happily, there's a new category of music gaining popularity called Positive Music. You can learn more about it at the Positive Music Association and at Law of Attraction Gateway Musical Affirmations
