1. Feature Article: Letting You In On The Secret!

Last Sunday evening I went to see the movie, "The Secret".
Powerful information to help you understand how to create the life
you want.

"The Secret" has so much in common with what "The Imp" is all about!

Before I let you in on "The Secret", what is the point of The Imp's
slogan, "Imagine Magnificent Possibilities", unless you can turn those
possibilities into realities? Well you can! That is "The Secret".

I encourage every reader to Imagine Magnificent Possibilities. If
you catch yourself thinking, "I can't because..." rephrase that to,
"How can I...?" Funnily enough, when you set the Intention and let
the Universe help you, it will create the "How".

The Secret is "The Law of Attraction" which I've mentioned before.
Like the Law of Gravity, the Law of Attraction is always working
whether you are aware of it or not. So usually you attract by default
and may be attracting what you don't want!

The Secret has been known and used, by a few, for hundreds of years.
At this time in history it is Esther Hicks (by receiving channelled
information) who is the source from whom a number of present day
authors have received their information.

Books:
The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent: The Art of Allowing
by Esther and Jerry Hicks.
Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires
by Esther Hicks, et al.
www.abraham-hicks.com 

One of the speakers in the film is Mike Dooley. I love his "Notes
from the Universe" which I subscribe to. Reach Mike at
www.tut.com  "Tut" stands for "Totally Unique Thoughts".

Some of Mike's notes are printed out and posted on the wall here in my
office. Wonderful daily reminders.

There have been a number of books written about The Law of Attraction.
I have two:
1. Law of Attraction: The Science of Attracting More of What You Want and
Less of What You Don't Want by Michael J. Losier.

A couple of gems from Michael's book:
"How long would you smell something that doesn't smell good?
How long would you listen to music that doesn't sound good?
How long would you eat something that doesn't taste good?"

Become aware of feeling good or feeling bad. Like attracts like. Several
areas where people tend to dwell too long on what doesn't feel good are
issues around relationships, money and career.

The other gem of Michael's is the phrase, "I am in the process of..."
I use it a lot!

2. Excuse Me Your Life is Waiting: the Astonishing Power of Feelings
by Lynn Grabhorn.

It IS the power of our feelings that attracts. All the Universe is
energy. All energy vibrates. It is the vibrational frequency of
our feelings that attracts things of the same frequency.
Like attracts like. Quantum Physics.

I love Lynn's book, too. She has wonderful stories as examples plus a
very useful final chapter, "thirty days to breakthrough".

Another speaker in the film is Joe Vitale.
His book is The Attractor Factor: 5 Easy Steps for Creating Wealth
(or Anything Else) from the Inside Out.

I am in the process of creating IMP YOUniversity. Last month I
mentioned courses I am developing including:
1. Unleash the Genius Within: Access Your Incredible Mind Power by
tapping into Your Subconscious.
2. Create a Life of Inspiration, Magic and Passion.

So it shouldn't surprise you that I was real excited while
watching "The Secret". I knew I wanted a copy for IMP YOUniversity!

The Law of Attraction in this case worked very quickly. I won the
door prize draw for a DVD copy of "The Secret"!

The Imp pipes up, "Bev, be sure to encourage folks to share the
secret!" "Yes", says I, "Pass it on!"

For further information and to view "The Secret" online go to:

For those of you who reside here in the Comox Valley, contact me at
897-0992 if you would like to view the movie.

If you are interested in having a copy for yourself of any of the
Law of Attraction books, just use my direct quick-link to Amazon:

Will you consciously apply the Law of Attraction in your life?
Starting now? I'd love to know what you create in your life!

2.Coaching Q&A: How Do I Journal To Get Into My Feelings?

Since the issue of feelings relates so much to the feature article,
I'm repeating the Q&A from issue #13, March 2004.

Jean from Campbell River, B.C. wrote,
"One of the challenges I face on a regular basis in my journaling is
how to effectively get beyond the surface and into how I feel about
a particular issue or event in my life. Often times I finish writing
and feel dissatisfied with the result because I know I didn't get
past the feeling of just telling a story.

"There are parts of my life I want to explore and work through but
accessing the emotions in order to do that is a challenge. I accept that
not every journal entry is going to result in deep writing, however, I'm
beginning to see a pattern that very few of my journal entries are taking
the risk to show my true self to me, and I am concerned."

Dear Jean,
Your awareness of this matter is such a wonderful first step.

All feelings are experienced as sensations in the body. 'Listen' to your
body to access your feelings. Write about body sensations. An example
might be, "My stomach feels like it is tied in knots." Then draw a symbol
or picture of your stomach tied in knots.

Next, let the drawing 'speak'. "I'm Jean's stomach. I'm all tied in
knots. I want to let Jean know that..."

Are you relaxed or tense when writing? Become aware of that.
Be conscious of your breathing. Take time to breathe deeply.

There's a reason for your feelings being kept hidden or avoided;
something in your past experience. Especially during childhood,
you did what you had to do to survive. I encourage you to read
the book, Fearless Living, by Rhonda Britten.

In The Imp Journal, the theme "Inside Me at this Precise
Moment: let feelings become friends" has additional suggestions.
Like each theme in The Imp Journal, this one is intended to be
your focus for one full week or even longer.

3.News, Comments, Success Stories, Winners

Fourteen months old, Laura, and her mom and dad recently visited here
in the Comox Valley. My sister, Great Aunt Bernice, created a charming
alphabet book for Laura. It consisted of pictures of Laura for each
letter of the alphabet. For the letter 'i' Laura is wearing an
"Imagine Magnificent Possibilities" t-shirt with the caption: "I is
for Imp, a playful child who lets her imagination run wild."

If you would like a special alphabet book for someone in your life,
by sending Bernice digital photos, she'll write the rhymes and create
a laminated, coil bound book. Let me know if you are interested and
I'll arrange for Bernice to contact you.

The Imp adds, "Or it's okay to be a copycat."

This month's totebag winner, Judy E., somewhere in Eastern Canada, has not

4.Inspirational Message to Ponder

"Today, no matter where I go, no matter what I do, no matter who I
interact with, it is my dominant intent to look for that which makes
me feel good." Esther Hicks

The Imp encourages you to write the quote on a card, read it
regularly, and then journal about your thoughts, insights,
feelings and, especially, actions.
