Graphic Notes From Abraham-Hicks January 2008 Mexico Cruise

As a huge fan of the Law of Attraction material of Jerry and Esther Hicks of Abraham-Hicks

I attended my third cruise with them (this one was to Mexico). Below are my rough ‘graphic notes’ from the workshops on board (main highlights with a few visuals ala my graphic recording style). I’ve put them into a quick pdf report for easy download. They are rough (I was on vacation after all!), but might be of interest to other Law of Attraction and Abraham-Hicks fans. Enjoy!

As a teacher and mentor in graphic recording and graphic facilitation... I often share my recommendations with mentees about other products and services on the market place.

The 5 Steps to Get What You Really Want

We are all in the process of manifesting … of creating what we want in life. Working with organizations and individuals, and studying much of the meta-physical research on the topic, I’ve determined five main steps in the process of manifesting. These basic steps can be applied to whatever YOU want to create, whether they are process things (like business development and growth, new types of work, changing in environment and enhanced or new relationships) or tangible, material objects (like cars, houses, trips, equipment, etc)...

Where is Your 'Satisfaction Interrupted'?

If you are browsing my site and reading this article, the chances are pretty high that you are in some sort of state of ‘satisfaction interrupted’. This is the time that most of us enter coaching or some other experience that will help us figure out what is missing or ‘off’ in our lives and what to do about it. “Satisfaction Interrupted” can show itself as a vague sense that things have shifted in our lives, in a less than satisfying way.
