Dawne Kovan’s Blog

Nearly a month ago I was contacted by Bob Doyle’s Wealth Beyond Reason program and invited to join the Boundless Living Challenge, although I was unsure about what to expect, obviously. 

Bob Doyle is one of the original teachers in “The Secret” movie0 and one whom I immediately liked when I saw and heard him speak. And as a result of that positive vibration towards him I kept in touch with him via his WBR website - hence the invitation.

When I joined there were about seven hundred names on the list - now it’s almost five and a half thousand and rising!

So, what is it, I hear you ask. First of all, it’s a social network site of which all the members are Law of Attraction users and “Secret” enthusiasts. Many are teachers, personal therapists, artists, musicians and healers - and many are in regular professions like doctors and lawyers, for example - all with this same base line of the understanding of the LoA. And most importantly it is a program designed to encourage all its members to enter their very own personal challenge and work towards achieving it during the 45 days, starting on 20th July and ending 4th September. 

People can join and still do the challenge right up to the end of August - or even just join as observers, without entering the actual challenge. Members are advised to post a daily blog on their progress towards achieving their goal and everyone else is invited to comment and offer advice and support. For example, Bob Doyle has entered the challenge himself - that being to sing and play guitar live in front of an audience! The video posts he’s made these last few days on his progress show him to be a trembling wreck - and he suggests that if our challenges don’t have our hearts thumping, then we have to come up with something else. There are sponsors and even prizes for various categories like - most original blog, artwork, videos and recordings - and, of course, success with the challenge. So, it’s all singing, all dancing.

My challenge is to start earning my living through writing this blog and the ebook that I’m co-writing with Ann-Marie Caffrey of the Attractor Factor fame  http://www.smart-attractor.com/   And in the last few days it has already begun to happen - people are already donating through the button on this site. How amazing is that?

Unlike other social networks like Facebook, MySpace, etc, the contributors are all mature adults who have a vision of making something meaningful for themselves in their lives; and who are also willing to put in the time on a daily basis to check on each others’ progress and make comments. However, like Facebook ad MySpace, Bob as regulator of the BLC site, is tough in refusing to allow spamming of business opportunities or products etc.

I am finding the most extraordinary compassion, support and encouragement to take risks from the members towards each other. They are by and large mainly female, from the US, UK and Australia, with a smattering of Europeans - as English is the base language.

I would encourage you to contact me if you wish to join the BLC - email me at dk@dawnekovan.com - and we can take it from there.

Tap into the Powers of Your Brain by Jack Canfield, America’s Success Coach

Your brain will work tirelessly to achieve the statements you give your subconscious mind. When those statements are the affirmation of your goals, you are certain to achieve them! Stating these goals can be tricky however, and your subconscious mind needs things put a certain way.

You need to be specific with yourself. The more specific you are with your goal the more your brain has to go on to make them happen.

Remember, vague goals produce vague results. Don’t be afraid to be detailed with what you want! Write it all down as if you were putting in an order. Your subconscious will make it happen for you by steering you toward those opportunities.

Making yourself attractive

We often hear young people saying that they’re going out for the evening  “on the pull” - which translates as going out to find someone to have some fun with. In other words, they are going to attract someone into their life - maybe for the short, very short or even longer term.

And this is what attraction means - to pull towards - in both directions. So, how attractive are you? If you were going out for the evening “on the pull” how would you prepare yourself? Assuming it’s a weekend, would you just keep your day clothes on and leave the house in the state you had been in all day - digging the garden, cleaning out the kitchen? Or would you shower, put your on make-up/shave, and then get out that special outfit, that you may have just bought that day? Of course you would - you would want to look your best - knowing that everybody else has done the same.

 Listen to your feelings - they know more than you do!

Over the thirty-odd years I have been working in the field of human potential, I have met many people who tell me they want to change their lives. However, on further investigation it soon becomes clear that this may not the whole truth.  For mature, responsible people, who have families, careers and commitments, changing all of that is probably a step too far, in most cases, because it isn’t what they really want. What  they really want to do is change the things that are no longer working for them and develop the things that are. In other words, to winnow out the rubbish and hold on to the good bits.

It is often suggested that if we keep doing the same-old same-old over and over, the outcome can never be different. However, if we use Jack Canfield’s example of his first “Chicken Soup” book, then the above statement may seem confusing. And it is this confusion that I wish to help with in this article. Jack tried 143 publishers before it was accepted - and the rest is history.  And therein lies the rub and this is where belief (I call it “knowing”) comes in - YOUR belief that what you want is right for you. Jack believed, he knew, with every fibre of his being that he was onto a good thing, so he kept on sending the manuscript out, over and over again.

Getting your thinking under YOUR control

The key to working with the LOA is to become an instant expert in monitoring your thinking - not easy when you have about 60,000 thoughts a day flying through your brain!

There are a number of small steps you can take to become conscious of your words because they are your thoughts made manifest - “in the beginning was the word”. And this article offers you one.

Choose a small word, such as  but, not, can’t - those little negative words that we all use all the time. Whenever we use them in conversation your mind then says “you want but, not, can’t? I can get them for you!!” and does, repeatedly, year in, year out.

Unless you’ve been living in a cave recently, you must have heard of the extraordinary success of Australian film-maker, Rhonda Byrne’s DVD “The Secret”.

The DVD opens with the statement “As above, so below - as without, so within.” Although, many astrologers have quoted this as an antique license to practice their art, I think this statement says more than “astrology works, folks!” The quote actually refers to the Law of Attraction “The Secret”. The movie suggests that the ancients were alerting us to the fact that EVERYTHING responds to this Universal law - human beings, cats, horses, flowers, trees, rivers, mountains, planets, Universes, etc. It works through vibration. And everything from the electron to the Universe vibrates. And that includes you and me.

The basic premise of the Law of Attraction is that like attracts like, which means that a thing will attract to it something else that vibrates at a similar frequency. For example, a droplet of crystal on a chandelier will vibrate when a specific note is struck on a keyboard because vibrationally they are attuned to one another. If we extend this idea to ourselves we can see how we can only attract things, people and circumstances into our lives that are attuned to our individual vibration. While this may seem an outrageous idea in this day and age, mystics have been talking about it for millennia.
