IntroductionI used to have a high-stress job. Im glad I did. Withoutit, I never would have never discovered yoga. Yoga is theoundation o my marketing business.
I know it sounds crazy, but let me explain.
I started my proessional career in 1993, ater receiving abachelors degree in Nutrition rom Virginia ech. I gotmy rst job as a nutritionist at Te Diet Center. Since I
was a thin 20-year-old, I wasnt taken very seriously as a
weight loss counselor. So I started working on Te DietCenters marketing. I designed their brochures and yers.
I have always had a natural talent or maniesting what Iwant. Family members would comment on it. I would justsmile. I had no idea my belie in mysel and my abilities
were really what took me to my next best job. As soon as Igot bored and tired with the pay at one job, I would makea decision to get a better one. I usually doubled my income
when I obtained a new career position.
In 1999, I decided to teach mysel HML and makea website o my own, which started my computer
programming career. I quickly learned that i I moved intomanagement, my current position would become easierand would pay more.

Tis is also when I started to get serious about yoga. Yoga
was just exercise at rst. Later, it became stress management.And these days, it is quickly becoming a way o being.
Yoga has taught me how to consciously listen. Once Ilearned how to listen to my thoughts and identiy theircraziness, I began to learn how to manage them. Te powero changing your mind is absolutely incredible. NapoleonHill said, Toughts are Tings. Te Buddha also teachesthat thoughts are powerul energies that mold our reality.
We are what we think! Its simple.
Ater a ew years in technology marketing and management,I let to start my own business as an emotional eating
nutritional coach. Te purpose o the business was solely toteach others how to change their thoughts and their beliesso they could change their eating behaviors and their lives.
Recently, I realized how everything ts together like a lockand key. My marketing business is based in the Law o
Attraction, the powers o our passionate thoughts andpractical marketing know-how that gives us condence tobelieve it will happen.

experience - and a remarkable business.
Laws of Nature
Tere are many laws o nature. For example, everythinghas a purpose and that purpose is to grow. You can see thisin the trees, grass etc.
We are going to ocus on the law o resonance. Te lawo resonance is all about energy. Tis vibration can be athought, mood, emotion, eeling, hunch or belie. Whateverits orm, it transmits an energetic vibration.
Te law o nature responds whether the message is whatyou want or what you dont want. It obediently choosesto give you what you are ocused on and eel to be true
whether or not it is something you desire. For example,i you are thinking, I dont want to have to wait in line,lines will appear all around you. What you ocus on andeel becomes your reality. Tis is the law o resonance.
Te law o resonance is always working just as the law ogravity is always working. It isnt something you can turnon or o. However, you can deliberately maniest whatyou want i you think, feel and be the simple way.

Subtle Energy
antra yogic teaches that subtle vibratory energies are ineverything. Yogic methods teach that energy is not simplyas an abstract vibration, but has divine power. Tis isreerred to as Shakti. Tis divine power takes orm andbecomes our reality.
In Hindu traditions, Shakti can become orm. Dierentenergies make up dierent powers o the divinity. Tismakes up our consciousness.
You may understand that the thoughts in your head are a
part o you, but consider these thoughts as divine energeticvibrations sending you signals or intuitive nudges aboutwhat you could do next.
Energetic Attraction
Albert Einstein proved that energy = mc. M represents
mass, and c is the square root o the speed o light. Whichmeans energy and matter are essentially the same. We thinko a chair as being solid, but it is really just a lot o atomsand vibrating energy. Nothing is really solid.
Your thoughts are energy as well. Tis means that clutter,
annoyances and random unclear thoughts are getting inthe way o your good energy - a bunch o unwanted atoms
whizzing around distracting you rom your true purpose.

Your challenge is to align these atoms and get them pulling
in the same direction. Sending out crystal clear messagesabout what you want. Get rid o all negative energy drainsand add as much positive ocused energy as possible.
Understand the Mind
Its important to understand that the conscious,subconscious and unconscious parts o your mind arealways in communication--whether they agree or disagree.
Te conscious mind includes thoughts that you hear inyour head. (Am I saying this out loud or in my head?).
Te subconscious mind is like a computers hard drive. Itstarts out empty when you are born and you add inormationbytes that become belies and habits as you experience lie.
Te unconscious mind includes behaviors that you dontrealize such as breathing, blood owing body unctions
that just happen by being alive.
From now on, you need to choose what you believe. Whatyou take in and place on your hard drive.
Words are very powerul energies. I you were told as a
child that you were great at math, you will always havecondence in your math abilities and be great at math. Isnt

it amazing how people can tell us something and we trust
that it is true without even questioning it? How about yourown words to yoursel? What do you tell yoursel? Make a
list to bring awareness so you can decide i you want it on
your hard drive.
As an emotional eating disorder counselor, I saw many
patterns in sel-talk. I you were once overweight and youtold yoursel that you were at or years, you believed it.
Ten you lost weight and the rest o the world considered
you thin, but you hadnt changed your thoughts. You
continued to tell yoursel you were at and you couldnt
eat. Tis is what happens with anorexia.
What are you telling yoursel? Are you listening to yoursel?
Are you telling yoursel the truth? What you want to believe
is the truth. It doesnt matter i the inormation is true or
not. What you know to be true becomes true.
Te subconscious mind also houses thoughts that weare not aware o, but can be brought to our conscious
mind when alerted. In ibetan meditation, a bell is
rung periodically to help clear and ocus the mind. Tis
discipline is supported by a breathing technique. It is not
said, I the mind wanders. It is when the mind wanders.
Te minds programming is embedded so deeply we are not
consciously aware o it. ibetan monks practice or yearsto bring conscious control to subconscious programming.

Change Your Old Way
Emotional changes do not have to be difcult, but
it may take time and eort. Change has to happen ona subconscious level. o do this, we must observe the
behavior and continually and consciously repeat the desired
behavior in place o the undesired behavior. Tis change
alone may be a grand step in changing your way o being.
Inner challenges may be because your conscious and
subconscious minds are not aligned. I your mind is not
aligned, you will experience mental chatter. Examples
include when you become mad at yoursel or you have
bad habits like smoking, overeating or drinking that youdont like about yoursel . You may consciously want to
change, but hidden subconscious benets prevent it.
Te secret lies in the words, thoughts and eelings
you choose. Be conscious o them. I your dominant
thought is I dont want lose my security, you maybe attracting poverty. Focus on abundance instead.
In your quest or deliberate positive ocus, you may still
eel sad, angry or irritated. Accept and allow those eelings.Experience them ully. Learn rom them. Ten release
them and move on with new zest.

Align Your Mind
Use the 10% o your conscious mind to change yourunconscious mind. Its as easy as setting goals andollowing them or 0 days solid. Tis begins to changethe subconscious so the behavior changes permanently.
Tell the Truth
We are attracted to authentic people - warts and all is thepopular phrase. Much o our world is illusion; we may notbe consciously aware o it, but we sense it. Integrity alignsyour mind.
What is integrity? It means to be true to your values. Tisconcept traces back to ancient society, and the beginning o
written language. One early written reerence, the SanskritSat Nam, is over three thousand years old.
ell the truth particularly to yoursel. Be truthul about
your money, body and amily! I you say you are goingto start an exercise program on Monday, do so. I youpromise to start your diet, ollow through.
Never tell yoursel you are at when you know you reallyarent. I you are doing these things to yoursel, you need
to stop. It can really cause mental chaos.

Do you think you have integrity? I you tell yoursel you
are going to do something, do you always do it? Are therepromises you are not keeping? Intentions you are notreaching?
We oten make promises we dont keep. You might tellyoursel, I am going to start a diet on Monday. Mondaycomes and goes. No diet.
Tis behavior causes a misalignment o the unconscious andconscious minds, which may maniest as procrastination,ear, or unocused intention.
Integrity is critical. I you set intentions, but never ollowthrough, your own mind stops believing you.
Listen and live consciously. Stay aligned with what youreally want and need. Ten you will be successul.
We are all human. We all ace these challenges. Withawareness and positive action steps, we will nd ourselvesback on the path.

I you want to be rich, but you spend all your time sitting
around surng the Internet, you are out o alignment. It istime to make a change.

Law #2
Creative Space
Space abhors a vacuum.
Successul business owners use universal laws to attract
clients in abundance and with ease. Tey know what they
want and they put out aligned energy to get it.
Space is probably the biggest attraction principle that aligns
us with our source. I like to think, I am creating space somy airy godmother can bring in what I want. I you wantsomething new to come in, get rid o something old. Tat
holds true or both physical material objects and mental
chatter and belies. I you have ever cleared out a dresser
drawer, you know how attractive space is. But how long
beore that dresser drawer is packed again?

We are all born to be phenomenally attractive and
successul, but sometimes a ew things can get in our way.By creating space, you can naturally increase your abilityor success and have more energy. Let me share a ew waysto increase your natural attractive energy. As you read thesetechniques, please open your mind and let your intuitionbe your guide. Ask yoursel, What do I need to clear outo my mind and my lie?
Take Action
Clutter includes anything that you dont like or need bothmentally and physically. I your car trunk is loaded to thelid, the additional weight will decrease your uel efciency.
So I say, Get the junk out o your trunk!
I your workspace is messy, it takes additional energy,time and brainpower to get your work complete. I yourschedule is cluttered with unnecessary meetings, it createsa eeling o chaos. I your mind is cluttered, the gateway to
clear thoughts is not possible. I your diet is cluttered withunhealthy ood or habits, you will experience lack o ocus,energy and success.

Organization is much deeper than what is on the suraceo your desk. Organization is a behavior that allows you tocomplete tasks and projects, and avoid emotional damage.I you dont complete things, they will eat at you. Anythingthat you dont complete has continuation, and gathersemotions that will attack you rom the inside out.

What can I do about it? What will I do about it?
Fix It or Recycle It
I it doesnt work, dont just let it sit there! Its time tostart removing these petty annoyances in your business andyour lie that you are putting up with or no reason. Teseannoyances are negative energies that drain you.
It is more difcult to be successul i you are continuallydistracted. You may not even be aware o it. Teseannoyances include that light bulb that needs to bechanged, those clothes that need to be sewed and that icemaker that needs to be xed. I you dont plan to x it,
trash it or recycle it.

habits bring successul attractive energy into their lives.

Krissies Catastrophe

Krissie was rustrated and overwhelmed with the day-to-
day activities. When I asked why she started her practice,she had no clear answer. She had never taken the time tocreate a vision or her lie and her business.
She was told as a child she would become a doctor like her
dad. She simply ollowed the steps to get there. Krissie
told me she liked being a doctor, but she disliked all theother aspects o her business.
I worked with Krissie over several weeks to create a new
vision or her. Armed with a clear picture, the obstacles o
day-to-day lie seemed to vanish. She began to tackle tasks
without procrastination. She also became very aware o the
butteries in her ofce and banished them.
Make Conscious Decisions

#1 Must-have: Pick a need/emotion
1. Security: (What will they gain or lose? Wealth,comort, health etc.)

stories.
Do you think the story is interesting? What is important
or them to hear? What would shock them? What would
sound almost unbelievable? Can you add a hook that will

Example: Story (or article marketing)

3. Make them curious.
Another great emotion that gets our prospects to take
action is curiosity. (Your Name), Do you know Sally?
Tis makes the users curious and they have to click to nd

4. Answer their minds FAQs.
