How to Attract Great People Into Your Life

By

by Cara Lumen

I’m a great fan of Mike Dooley who writes Notes from the Universe at www.tut.com His “notes” always give me pause to consider the overall scheme of things. Recently he wrote “it’s not who’s appeared, but who you’ve summoned.” Of course the theme of metaphysics is self-responsibility, that our thoughts create our reality. And I began to think about the great people in my life and how they got there. If I “summoned” them, what did I do and how do I do more of it.

People are attracted to vibration. You have a core vibration and then you have variations on that when you are happy or sad or angry. I can’t be around people who are angry; the energy literally hurts my body. So guess what, I’m not going to look for, or hang around people who are angry. You see a vibration that nourishes you and you get closer. 
I have recently moved cross country and am once again hanging out with some of my children and their families. The major vibration I am experiencing is great kindness – a caring for each other – a family community where everyone pitches in. No that’s an attractive vibration.
What do you need to do to attract great people into your life? Be one!!!! Be a great person that people want to be with. Give generously of what you know. Step more deeply into your place of service. Monitor your thoughts and actions so your energy and vibration is positive and nourishing to others. 
It is said that if there is a room full of clocks they will ultimately all align themselves and start ticking together.  That’s how we draw people to us.  We tick our steady beat that is true to our core values adn people with similar values will find us and we’ll start ticking together. Tick Tock!!!

Are You Listening?

By

by Cara Lumen

This summer I moved from Santa Rosa, California above San Francisco to Olathe, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City to be nearer my children. That meant I had to release possessions, handle everything I own, focus on moving rather than my business, and then settle into my new apartment and find my way around my new city. Everything was about making choices. With every picture I hung, every drawer I filled I made a conscious choice to keep it or hang it. And that opportunity to make consistently new and thoughtful choices is still overflowing into my business. And I’m listening.

I’ve always been spiritual and I have a strong metaphysical background that is mixed in with everything I do. I have a radio show www.blogtalkradio.com/passionatelyonpurpose and I recently wrote a script for it called “Do You Believe You Can? And Why Not? As I wrote I thought to myself “This is pure metaphysics, not business.” I recorded it and got an enthusiast post from a listener saying “Wow, great show Cara, very inspiring.” Isn’t that what we want to do – touch the hearts of others and make a difference in their lives? I’m listening.

I looked over the number of listens to my various shows and the personal growth ones on stress and exceeding boundaries rated high. But then so did the ones on the sales cycle and energizing your business. I’m listening, but I’m confused.

So here’s the way I figure it. My work is a bit of both – the spiritual and the practical so sometimes I’m going to write about information products and marketing and attracting the people you are meant to serve, and sometimes I’m going to write all about the changes we can make inside. But it will always be about how we can stay Passionately on Purpose.

I love to listen to the messages from the Universe. The unexpected word from someone that triggers a new idea, the door closing in your face so you have to go look for a new one, the swelling of your heart when you get it right and are aligned with your choice. Are you listening? What do you hear? And what are you going to do about it?

Do What You Love, Love What You Do

By

by Cara Lumen

Most of what I do I love. But recently I’ve noticed there is a resistance, a reluctance to make a list and set some plans and take certain steps. There’s even a tightness in my stomach when I put certain items on my "To Do" list.

What needs to change? What do I need to do differently?
 
I do — deep inside. It’s time to see where I am, decide where I want to be and make some new choices. It is about finding my new rhythm. Where do I place into my day the things I want to do?
 
Deepen Your Spiritual Practice
 
One of the major changes I have made is to find a place to fit in a daily Falun Gong  practice. I do it in the morning after I’m dressed for my day. The last step in the practice leads me into meditation. I can feel my energy balancing as I thoughtfully practice this powerful moving meditation. I notice the increased deepness of my sitting meditation. There is deep inner work going on that I know only by sensation, not by recognition.
 
Deepening your spiritual practice is one way to make change.
 
Allow it to unfold
 
I started to write “make a bold goal, think a big vision.” But that’s part of the doing, not the being and being is where change is made.
 
I have deepened my level of gratitude. Before I go to sleep. Upon awakening. During the day. I continue to feel the blessings that surround me. The goodness that is in my life. The fluidity of my experience. And I am grateful.
 
Allowing your life to unfold is like going on an adventure. You don’t know what will be around the next corner. And if you truly want to have an adventure, you will allow yourself to follow new paths on a whim — this feels right, I’ll go here, I’ll do this.
 
There is patience that is needed to allow it to unfold. Patience and a belief that there is a grand plan, that you are an integral part of it, and that all is and will be well in your world.
 
Do what you love
 
Do the parts of life you love. Do the parts of your business that you love. Be with the people you love. Follow your emotions. Allow them to lead you to fulfillment and celebration, happiness and affection. Your emotions are your guides. They help you choose what will nourish you and help you leave behind everything and everyone that no longer serves you.
 
Love what you do
 
If you no longer love what you do, change it. Tweak it, toss it, start again. Whatever it takes to let you fall back in love with what you do.
 
It’s when we are in love with what we do, when we are in celebration of all we are, that others find us attractive and come to join in our enthusiasm. Honor your heart’s calling. Allow yourself the freedom of choosing to do what makes your heart sing. You will be happiest when you do what you love and love what you do.
