This year’s theme is ‘Making the Shift from Ambition to Meaning.’

Here’s the official description:

In these all-new lectures, Wayne will take you through the seven questions that constitute the Excuses Begone paradigm, and show you how it worked for him and how it can work for you. By examining the support system that a person has erected over a lifetime and putting those timeworn thoughts through the seven steps in this paradigm, excuses begin to fade away and are replaced with thoughts that speak fervently, almost shouting, Yes, you can change any excuse pattern, no matter how long or how pervasive the conditioning process has been! Wayne has seen people change from a lifetime of being overweight or addicted to all manner of substances by simply applying the principles inherent in the Excuses Begone approach to life.

During these profound, life-changing lectures you’ll explore the seven questions of the Excuses Begone paradigm shift:
- Is it true?
- Where did the excuses come from?
- What’s the payoff?
- What would my life look like if I couldn’t use these excuses?
- Can I create a rational reason to change?
- Can I access universal cooperation in shedding old habits?
- How do I continuously reinforce this new way of being?

If you are truly serious about changing any long-established habits of thought that have led you to use excuses as your rationale for staying on the same self-defeating path, then you are encouraged to follow the principles and practices presented in these all-new lectures!

Pretty exciting stuff! Here are the dates for what’s scheduled so far. There might be more coming up:

9/14/2010 Los Angeles. CA

10/23/2010 Maui, HI

11/12/2010 Tampa, FL

11/17/2010 Washington DC

11/21/2010 New York, NY

On top of that, Dr. Wayne Dyer will be taking part in Hay House’s annual I CAN DO IT! retreat in Tampa, Florida!

• John Holland
• Caroline Myss

However, today I read a chapter in Dr Wayne Dyer’s 2008 book, ‘Change Your Thoughts, [...]]]> It’s been a very stressful few months for me financially.  Attempts to manifest my wealth has been an Epic Fail. I’ve been depressed and confused at what has transpired. It felt like all my efforts have been done in vain. 

However, today I read a chapter in Dr Wayne Dyer’s 2008 book, ‘Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life.’ There’s a paragraph in there that certainly helped me put things in perspective:

  The more you  pursue desires, the more they’ll elude you. Try letting life come to you and begin to notice the clues that what you crave is on its way. You’re in a constant state of receiving because of the ceaseless generosity of the eternal Tao. The air you breathe, the water you drink, the food you eat, the sunshine that warms you, the nutrients that keep your body alive, and even the thoughts that fill your mind are all gifts from the eternal Tao. Stay appreciative of all that you receive, knowing that it flows from an all-providing Source. Stop the chase and become a witness – soothe your demanding habits by refusing to continue running after more. By letting go, you let God; and even more significantly,  you become more like God and less like the ego, with its lifetime practice of Edging God Out.

Certainly I had forgotten about this and that’s what has gotten my “success” over the past two years. I realize I just need to accept “what is” and continue to help others without thinking about what I want.

It was among Shakespeare’s most popular plays during his lifetime and, along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays.

Freedom from our conditioning is possible in this lifetime, but the mind is a formidable opponent to this freedom. It was designed to keep us thinking of ourselves the way we do. To be free requires a new way of thinking or, rather, not thinking. To a large extent, healing conditioning is about changing our relationship to our mind. “Getting Free” will help you do that. Healing happens when we meet our true Self, but to do this we first have to become very familiar with the false self and its mistaken beliefs. Before we can discover what is true and live as that, we first have to see what is false. “Getting Free” will help you determine what is false and true within yourself. It will also help you reprogram your mind; clear negative thoughts and self-images; use meditation, prayer, forgiveness, and gratitude; work with spiritual forces to assist healing and clear negativity; and heal entrenched issues from the past. Exercises throughout provide an opportunity for practicing and integrating the understanding.

From “Getting Free”: “Getting free of our conditioning is a two-fold task: We can free ourselves from our negative conditioning by reprogramming our mind with positive conditioning. We can also get free by seeing that all of our thoughts are just conditioning, and this conditioning doesn’t have to be what determines our actions and reactions.”

“The antidote to conditioning is acceptance, but the mind isn’t what can give this acceptance. Acceptance happens when you drop into essence and notice your negative thoughts. From this place, negative thoughts are not a problem because you see that they have nothing to do with you–the real you.”

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Break the Chains that Enslave You
The author has a talent for distilling volumes of complex spiritual wisdom into highly accessible and readable books. She is able to convey, simply and poignantly, the essence of how to live an awakened life.

Getting Free shows us how to break the bonds of conditioning so that we may live from our highest Self. This book adds to her previous invaluable contributions by including chapters on clearing negativity, learning to ask for help from our spirit guides, and providing practical tools for living from unconditioned, compassionate, heart-centered Presence Awareness rather than from our ego.

Gina’s books will no doubt inspire you to remain steadfast on your spiritual journey and to continue to embody and act from Spirit. She is a gifted spiritual counselor and her presence is a healing energy for all those who come to know her and her work. Highly recommended.

5 Stars An inspiring, yet easy to read book……
I really enjoyed this book. Gina Lake presents her spiritual and psychological knowledge in a clear and concise fashion. She breaks down the information into bite size pieces that help you gain an understanding of why we do the things we do. In addition, she offers many suggestions and functional exercises that can guide us along the path to becoming free. I found her gentle and insightful approach to be very helpful to me and my own personal journey. I will definitely re-read this book and refer to it again.

5 Stars Applicable Nonduality
I just can’t say enough about Getting Free. I have read it twice, and now keep it handy as a reference guide that offers practical advice and help along the path to awakening. Gina’s teachings are extremely clear and easy to understand, making application to real life situations an easier choice. Helpful advice on meditation, acceptance, love, psychology, negative thinking, working with angels, and much more.

I have also read another of Gina’s books, Anatomy of Desire, and have just as much regard for that book as well.

I have ordered two more of Gina’s books. One is Choosing Love, and I look forward to taking advantage of Gina’s practical advice on this most difficult of subjects. The second is Living Your Destiny, which sounds fun AND helpful.

5 Stars If spirituality had a door through which we could enter…
I love this book! It’s so perfect for where I am in life, at this moment; it’s as though it was written especially for me!

I have two of Ms. Lake’s other books, and she is at the top of my “authors I love” list. She speaks to the reader like a friend, in terms that are understood at the levels of both the mind AND the heart. This is unlike many authors, who use lofty language to describe topics waaay more esoteric than I can grasp, currently. Sometimes it feels like those authors have lost touch with the everyday person, and where most of us are on the spiritual ladder. Gina Lake, however, speaks in a language that resonates throughout my being. She helps me to DEAL with my life, rather than urging me to shelve my problems because they “don’t really exist”. I GET that my problems, my image of ‘me’ and ‘my life’ are constructs of my mind, but Ms. Lake actually give PRACTICAL tips about what to DO with that concept, where many authors just leave you scratching your head in puzzlement.

If spirituality had a door through which we could enter and gain immediate understanding, Gina Lake’s books are that door. My thanks to her for helping me through that door!

5 Stars Getting Free Truly Lives Up To The Name
I agree with one of the other reviewers…I keep this book handy and have referred to it over and over. I have even quoted bits and pieces from it to friends and family.

Gina Lake’s (Theo’s) writing style is that of a friend chatting with you. It is not a lofty esoteric book that leaves you wondering why you even bother to TRY and be spiritual…it is a loving, gentle handbook to help you let go of preconceived notions and MOVE ON!

I am a huge fan of Gina Lake’s work (geez, that sounds so 14 year-old girl ish, but I cannot think of a better word)! I read and reread her books and each time I get more and more wisdom from them.

Thank you, with my heartfelt appreciation.

SUCCESS CAN BE YOURS WITH WAYNE DYER’S HOW TO BE A NO-LIMIT PERSON LIVE LIFE AT FULL THROTTLE

In How to be a No-Limit Person, Dr. Wayne Dyer teaches you how to greet each day with high expectations and a clear sense of direction — not just for the moment, but for an entire lifetime.

As you master his upbeat way of approaching people and problems, you’ll realize that you are in total control of your life. You’ll discover how to tune in to internal signals — your emotions, attitudes and beliefs — to help you deal with everyday frustrations and major problems. You’ll learn how to make your anger work for you as a catalyst to positive, action-oriented steps, and how to enter relationships based on choice, freedom and love.

3 Stars How to Be A No Limit Person – Wayne Dyer Less is not always better, 3� Stars. The original 6 tape version by Nightingale Conant will remain the 5 Star winner. This newer Abridged version leaves out some of Dr. Dyers best counsel and most entertaining passages.

5 Stars Very powerful information Wayne Dyer has once more produced an excellant program on creating your own reality. This time he addresses perseptions that limit your access to success. How you think about what you want to achieve results in what you achieve. It addresses dealing with obsticles and forming the relationships you have with those around you. It explains concepts in plain straight talk that you can relate too. Its an enjoyable and powerful program and I recommend you buy a copy to ad to your collection. It was and is a good investment.

5 Stars From the author of, Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves These CDs are an awesome collection of Wayne Dyer’s speaking. I highly recommend it. Wayne blows the whistle on concepts that weaken us and gives clues to being powerful and effective in life. His words resonate with what I teach in parenting through my book, CDs and workshops.

The set is a collection from many talks rather than a single event, so you get the best of what he said on one theme. Truly inspiring.

2 Stars better now I like him much better with time. I don’t care for the man’s lectures in his 40′s as much as I do now that he’s in in 60′s.

3 Stars How to be a No Limit Person Was somewhat disappointed in this lecture by Dr. Dyer. I have purchased many of his audio books and have found them positive and inspirational. This one does make some very good points but this was obviously done quite a number of years ago and I found some of his statements extremely negative. Since then Dr. Dyer has developed a much more positive way of getting his points across.

In Calling in “The One,” Katherine Woodward Thomas shares [...]]]> Calling in The One 7 Weeks to Attract the Love of Your Life

Are you frustrated by stymied relationships, missed connections, and the loneliness of the search for someone to spend the rest of your life with? Are you ready, instead, to find “The One”? In Calling in “The One,” Katherine Woodward Thomas shares her own personal experience to show women that in order to find the relationship that will last a lifetime, you have to be truly open and ready to create a loving, committed, romantic union. Calling in “The One” shows you how.

Based on the Law of Attraction, which is the concept that we can only attract what we’re ready to receive, the provocative yet simple seven-week program in Calling in “The One” prepares you to bring forth the love you seek. For each of the 49 days of Thomas’s thoughtful and life-affirming plan, there is a daily lesson, a corresponding practice, and instruction for putting that lesson into action in your life. Meditation, visualization, and journaling exercises will gently lead you to recognize the obstacles on your path to love and provide ways to steer around them. At the end of those 49 days, you will be in the ideal emotional state to go out into the world and find “The One.”

An inspirational approach that offers a radical new philosophy on relationships, Calling in “The One” is your guide to finding the love you seek.

5 Stars Jump. It is not as wide as you think.
EVERYTHING in this book is relevant, powerful, and useful in becoming your own ‘The One’ so you can be open, available, and ready to have a loving, healthy, committed relationship of mutual honor, respect, trust, and enchantment. I recommend reading this book, then taking it as a class with an experienced leader to ensure spiritual support through the process.

In 2004, when my (now) husband and I were talking about marriage, we took a class based on and using Calling In ‘The One’ as a workbook. We were presented with that extraordinary opportunity the author describes as standing at a fork in the road where one path leads to ‘more of the same’ and the other path leads to ‘freedom from the past and the very real possibility of love in the future.’ We have taken the road to freedom from the past and now teach relationship classes based on Calling In ‘The One’ because of how perfectly it supported us in getting from where we were to where we wanted to be.

What I see as the most powerful conceptual statements in this book are in the Preface and in a quote introducing chapter 43, The Enchanted Life.

Page xxi: “There is a huge chasm between wanting to find your ideal partner and being truly available for that partner when he or she appears.”

Page 284: ‘A bit of advice given to a young Native American at the time of his initiation: “As you go the way of life, you will see a great chasm. Jump. It is not as wide as you think.” … ~ Joseph Campbell’

5 Stars Call the one and get results!!
This is one of the better dating guides I’ve read in a long, long time. It’s about getting yourself ready to get out there and find that someone special and that means some inner reflection and some soul searching. I guess the gist is that you can’t really find that someone special until you become someone special. I got a lot out of this book and was really glad I took the chance to look it over. Another one that’s also helped me out in this department–Lucky In Love, Lucky In Life: How To Be Wanted-Use the Law of Attraction to Date the Man You Most Desire and Live the Life You Deserve.

5 Stars Unexpected Revelations
I read this book with the intention of making myself more available to attracting my soul mate. What I didn’t expect was the revelations I would have about my relationships with the people already a part of my life-my family, friends, co-workers. What this book taught me was that I need to honor, respect, embrace and fully love those in my every day life. I realized that until I can fully nuture and appreciate these relationships from a place of compassio non judgement-and the many others in my life (i.e. money, food, career, etc) than I will be 100% ready to nuture the man and relationship that my heart, mind, body and soul desire. I admit that I did not do any of the exercises but I have however used the lessons I learned in fostering my current relationships and I can honestly say that it has made a world a difference in how I interact and empathize with those around me.

As a health counselor and life coach the book gave me valuable direction on how to handle any relationship issues that come up and also some great ideas on exercises that I can develop to use during my sessions with clients.

Books that shift my perspective in my own personal life and give me ways to better my professional practice are a must in my own personal library and Calling in the One has definitely earned a spot on my book shelf

5 Stars Wonderful guide for going back “home”
I haven’t finished the course yet. As a matter of fact, I just started it. But I can already feel the changes: I feel more.. centered, more grounded, my life is already taking a different shape, one that I could sense for a long time but didn’t know how to get to. This book and the energy that Katherine surrounds her readers with is Ariadna’s thread out of the labyrinth. One of them anyway. I am coming home to myself, as a person and as a woman and that makes all the difference in the world.

5 Stars It worked for me!
The process outlined in this book actually works! Two weeks after completing the seven-week series of exercises outlined in this book, I met the love of my life and was married 11 months later. The daily exercises are ideal for shifting your energy so that you are a vibrational match (and magnet) for the partner you are looking for. Beautifully written and articulate in its message, “Calling In The One” outlines a grounded, logical, insightful, and magical process that really works.
