The number one statement we need to understand today is, we are not our bodies - we are only our soul.

What's the body here for, you ask? It's the car on the road trip of life. It's the vehicle that allows us to do good actions in the world and to be a conduit for revealing positive energy.

The body is a temporary means to an end. I think all of us have had those middle-of-the-night epiphanies, where we realize the depth of this statement. But it's hard to keep in our minds, and we all fall into caring what people think about us - good or bad - and we obsess over our reflection in the mirror.

The Baal Shem Tov, a Kabbalist who lived and taught in the 18th century, reminded his students to always feel they are only soul. Yes, the body is a temple, and it's important to care for and respect it. But again, we have to reclaim our territory and care of our soul.

How? Well, for starters, the soul needs to be fed. What does our soul eat? Energy, of course. The energy feeding our soul comes from the good actions we do on a daily basis. The number one way to have a soul that is harmonious, open and well-fed is to systematically look for people that need help and do what we can to meet their needs.

Another tip for caring for our soul comes first thing in the morning. The Kabbalists recommend waking up each day roaring like a lion. The seed for our entire day begins in the morning. In fact, if we find we've been upside down and in a bad mood all day, it's likely it began in the morning.

But if we change our consciousness, knowing something great is going to happen, excited about the unexpected magic, intending that this day will be the best day ever, we'll be shocked to see how many incredible things will happen to us. When we wake up energized and ready to go for it, we will be in tune with our soul.

Today, practice waking up each day like a lion. Really put your soul forward from the beginning of the day. And notice the ongoing, non-stop demands of your body. Redirect these desires by looking for ways to share love, time and effort with people. You never know when the Light is going to put someone in your path whose day - or life - you can save. 

Law Of Attraction And How to Make It Work For You

The Law of Attraction is a universal law that says all your thoughts, positive and negative, vibrate at a certain frequency and like attracts like. In other words, you get what you ask for - the frequency of your thoughts attract things to your life vibrating at the same frequency. This happens whether you are conscious of it or not.

You may have heard all the buzz about the Law of Attraction from the movie or book "The Secret," or perhaps it is brand new to you. Either way, the important thing to know is there is no secret to using it, you already use it everyday! The key is to know that you can learn to control your thoughts and attract whatever you wish.

Notice above I mentioned that all your thoughts (including negative) send a message to the universe, whether that is your intention or not. So, ALWAYS think and say what you want, NOT WHAT YOU DON'T WANT!

"I don't want to be poor" will only attract poverty. Think instead, "I am wealthy."

"I hope I don't get the flu" will surely make you more vulnerable. Change that thought to "I am strong and healthy."

Don't be fooled though. It takes practice, patience and absolute faith in your mind that not only will you receive what you think, but (and this is the most important part!) you must believe, act, and feel as though you have already received whatever it is you asked for. This is a very key point, so please re-read the previous words:

"...you must believe, act, and feel as though you have already received whatever it is you asked for."

Here's why. Your subconscious mind does not know the difference between fact and fiction. In other words, you can fool your subconscious into believing anything if you consciously make the effort to believe it yourself - the finer the detail the better.

Use all your senses.

• See it.
• Feel it.
• Taste it.
• Smell it.
• Hear it.
• Act it.

Convince yourself that you already have what you want and the speed at which the universe delivers it to you will amaze you!

Just don't forget to be ready to receive. It does take effort on your part to leave yourself open to receive what you want. Be aware of signs, sudden opportunities, unexpected calls or mail, gut feelings or intuition. Act on these things with full confidence and belief that what you wish for is already yours and you deserve it.

Don't believe it? Believe or not, the law still exists. You've already been using it your whole life, you just didn't know. It's up to you whether you want to have more control over what it brings you and how fast you get it.

Go ahead, think back in your life.

How many times have you thought about someone you haven't seen or heard from in a while and suddenly you get an unexpected phone call, email, etc. from that person?

Perhaps as a child or adolescent you thought about a certain job you wanted to have when grown up, or a certain place you wanted to live, or what your spouse would be like. And now, you find yourself with the very things you thought about.

If you try, everyone can come up with something you have manifested with your thoughts.

Why not take more control and use the Law of Attraction everyday to manifest the life you deserve?
