LOA Today - Living Our Abundance with the Law of Attraction - Your Daily Dose Of Happy

First, we welcome a huge new influx of listeners who have recently discovered the podcast. So welcome! We're glad you are here. Next, Dan learns about this new influx of listeners and how it was his book, Money Game, that brought many of them in.  At Walt's request, he recounts the story about how Money Game came about in the first place. Then Alyx tells us a cool, new manifestation story about how she and Kenny manifested a new car, it turned out to be something of a lemon, but then they were able to trade it in for a beautiful new car at a ridiculously fabulous price! Branch Isole, our special guest today, is the author of 22 books, but that statement barely scratches the surface of this complex guest. To be honest, I don't know what to make of him. He is into relationships, poetry, mind, body, spirit, erotica, Christianity ... the list goes on. So I thought the only solution was to bring him onto the program and find out what he's all about.

When 19-year-old Ann Hince discovered her mother lying dead in the bathroom, she couldn't have known that she was setting herself on a path of an amazing adventure. To the contrary, all she knew was that her mother had died and that you had to just "deal with it". Listeners won't be surprised to hear that such a traumatic event buried itself in her subconscious mind and haunted her just below the surface for decades. Listeners also won't be surprised to learn that she used EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique aka Tapping to release that stored, negative energy from her body. What will surprise listeners is what she was able to do next. With only minimal outside guidance, she successfully and intuitively developed the ability to heal her own body using the power of her mind by literally "feeling the feelings" stored in various parts of the body and thereby releasing them ... with often astonishing results!

When our scheduled guest is a no-show, Walt accidentally puts his foot in it to start the show, but it does provide a good jumping off point for a discussion about how we can help the most with overcoming the war in the Ukraine and how what we individually focus our attention can actually make a difference. This leads to a very practical discussion about what it takes to pivot in the face of a horrible situation.

Debbie G. and Neo Positivity couldn't make the episode today for different reasons, but we still had a great visit with Terry Wildemann, a coach, medium, and intuitive. Terry's clients hire her to help them discover the source behind their self-sabotaging success blocks in business and life. She is an intuitive success navigator, medium, healer. and founder at Intuitive Leadership® U - professional and personal development for intuitive entrepreneurs. Walt and Terry just sit back and have a really warm and friendly chat about all things conscious creation-oriented.

Donna is a Life Mastery Coach sharing keys to turn our baggage into luggage to live the life of their dreams. She has been coaching and mentoring for over 25 years. She also produces a podcast is called “You Were Designed for Greatness” and has written 4 books. Her clients say she has a knack for turning fear into excitement and exposing lies so the truth can shine through.  During the show today, we explore some of the central principles that she focuses on with clients in her practice. In the process, we learn that Donna has a very down-to-earth, factual, results-oriented approach to helping people to get through their tough times to get to their times of thriving. She has a very different take on what "reason" is. For her, "reason" is a confluence of mind and heart working together, a whole person approach to thinking, rather than a sterile, logic-oriented approach to thinking. The whole concept about baggage and luggage for her is that baggage is the collection of all the excuses we carry with us, whereas luggage is what we carry in order to get to where we're going. If you're interested in her upcoming workshop, visit her website at:  https://www.ivibrantliving.com/ Dan had a conflict today, but he'll be back next week.

Her father's suicide when she was 16 plus her own suicidal thoughts led to her focusing on ways to turn lemons into lemonade. That's the story that Heidi Alldredge shares with us today. She is the host of the Heidi's Lemonade Stand podcast. This was a back-to-back experience for Walt and Heidi in that Walt joined Heidi on her show earlier today, and now Heidi joined Walt on this show. Heidi describes in tearful detail the experience of having police officers knock on her family's door when she was aged 16 to inform them that her father had taken her life. She had been contemplating suicide herself, and her father's act served as a wake-up call. She had been telling herself that the world would be a better place without her in it. Her father's suicide note expressed the exact same sentiment, and she was struck hard by the fact that it wasn't at all true.  Her world was worse off without her father in it, and that's what changed her perspective about her own life. We had so many similarities in common with our respective experiences, and it was really fun today to find all of the commonalities. But perhaps the best part for Walt was realizing that he has a new friend to appreciate in his life. So thank you, Heidi, for recovering your lemonade stand and serving your special blend of lemonade with the world!

Michaell Art, as he is known professionally, brings a dramatically different perspective to consciousness than anything we have previously encountered or discussed on this show. Born Michaell Magrutsche, he is an Austrian-American who explored New Age concepts and found them to be somewhat helpful and somewhat wanting. As he presents his ideas in this episode, Walt finds himself having to translate Michaell's ideas into a sort of Esperanto in order to find common ground. Michaell spends a great deal of time discussing what he calls "systems", which he feels humans give too much power to. It takes awhile, but Walt finally realizes that when Michaell says "systems" he really means "externals". With that inflection point established, Michaell and Walt find a way toward what Michaell terms the "Mastermind", which is a slightly different way of thinking about that term than Walt usually thinks of it. All in all, it's a conversation that demonstrates by example how words can have very different meaning for different people, and until those people can find a way to translate, to build a sort of Esperanto, it can be very easy to get the wrong end of the stick based upon what the other person is saying. It's truly an experience with a very, very different perspective! Michaell's website:  https://michaellm.com/ Subscribe and share: https://www.loatoday.net/subscribe

The echoes of similarity between Melissa's podcast that she started 4 years ago and our own here are striking. Her show's subtitle is, "A daily dose of spirituality and self improvement." Sound familiar? As we get to know Melissa in the second half of today's show, we discover a woman who not only raised her twins by herself in this lifetime but apparently has done similar things in her past lives. She is also a Reiki Master, channeler, healer, and a teacher who teaches German to schoolchildren.  Among other things, she tells us about her experience encountering a town in Germany that she intuitively realized she previously lived in during a past life. Interesting! Her website is:  https://www.melissaoatman.com/ Subscribe to LOA Today here: https://www.loatoday.net/subscribe

Josie Herndon on a return visit is a great way to start the weekend, especially when it's her birthday weekend. It turns into a conversation about love in all its forms, including "big love" and featuring a fabulous, impromptu channeling session with the Angel Gabriel. Gabe drops some outstanding insights (not surprisingly) on us, and we soon find ourselves appreciating just how much great stuff is going on in the world today. Josie also talks about her clinic:  https://ats-iop.com/ Subscribe to the LOA Today podcast: https://www.loatoday.net/subscribe

Robert returns to the show for a second, albeit short visit. He accidentally double-booked a client today and had to leave halfway through the show. Dan similarly had to bug out halfway through, and Alyx couldn't make it at all because of an Internet outage. But while the guys were on the show together, we got a really good taste of just how much on the same page the two of them are about how they got to where they are today and what they teach to their clients. Plus, we verified that Robert's wacky sense of humor fits in beautifully with the rest of the Thursday crew! Anne-Marie Young jumped in to help finish up the show after Walt shared some promo messages solo, so all was well. Subscribe to the LOA Today podcast: https://www.loatoday.net/subscribe

Cindie and Walt got to be spectators today as our guest ran with the show. And it was well worth it. What a great story he tells about how his song went grassroots "viral" before "viral" became a thing! It's also a wonderful story of perseverance all the way to success.

Fred didn't have any experiences with "the afterlife" as a result of his 20+ near-death experiences one summer. He says he felt cheated in a way. But then we delve into what he did experience, and what he did experience was enlightening in an entirely different way. He tells us some of the medical history, and it makes for an interesting conversation. But it gets really interesting when we start talking about mindset in conjunction with intermittent fasting. Fred attributes his full recovery from all he went through to intermittent fasting, and it's not hard to see why. Fascinating interview. Subscribe and share: https://www.loatoday.net/subscribe

Josh is a business partner with our friend, Selena Dorsey, and he has written a book that is about to be released. The Unicorn In You presents a personal growth and development perspective that emphasizes five key principles as the foundation for peace and joy. It's available at Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/Unicorn-You-Path-Peace-Joy/dp/1544528175 Josh lays out some of the fundamental principles he discusses in the book. He describes it as an "unselfhelp book". Sounds like we've helped to invent a new genre! Subscribe to LOA Today here: https://www.loatoday.net/subscribe

Debbie G. starts us off by telling us what she has learned about slowing time down. We then shift into a conversation about noticing manifestations and how often we DON'T notice them! Then Debbie G. takes us on a little trip to the plains of Kansas back in her tornado chasing days, regaling us with a story about the creature that tried to eat her when she went to pee in the prairie in the middle of the night. Very funny story! Then Miranda Clendening joins us. She wears a number of hats including Director of Unity.org, and she fills us in on the many remarkable things her organizations have done over the past few years.
