Book: "Ask and It Is Given – Learning to Manifest Your Desires" by Esther and Jerry Hicks  

https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Given-Learning-Manifest-Desires/dp/1401904599

Overview:

Most of us have experienced what we term coincidences, when things work out for us with little or no effort on our part. Sometimes, we find ourselves in the right place at the right time where a seemingly serendipitous event creates a significant outcome. And everyone has known what it’s like to be running late, the keys have disappeared, the car needs gas, and it begins to rain while our umbrella is in the front hall closet. When we allow ourselves to recognize and be grateful for the blessings, it feels good. And when we can laugh at the occasional calamity of circumstances, they dissipate quickly.

But when we are pre-occupied with “reality”, we tend to focus on regrets or worries and often miss experiencing what we are doing at this given moment. Waiting for something to happen to make us happy, or someone to change to make us feel better, robs us of our present life experience.

Ask and it is Given describes the principal of “what you focus on” is given, whether you want it or not. The ability to manifest what you want relies upon living contently in the present, finding positive aspects and being aware of whether you are moving toward or away from your desires.

When you can witness the journey as it is happening, and allow the fullness of who you are to be present, the universe assembles the cooperative components to manifest your desires. This alignment with your inner being is the gateway to all you are. You will learn how to manifest your desires so that you're living the joyous and fulfilling life you deserve. As you read, you'll come to understand how your relationships, health issues, finances, career concerns and more are influenced by the universal laws that govern your time/space reality, and you'll discover powerful processes that will help you go with the positive flow of life.

This thought provoking discussion will be facilitated by Lorie McDonnell, Business Growth Strategist.

As a reminder, you don't have to read the book to attend! Most do not, and we always have a very engaging discussion!

During this roundtable we'll:
· share our own experiences in this area in our businesses
· share best practices from our own personal experience or from industry thought leaders
· share ideas on how to improve the area within our businesses to fuel growth

Note: We are looking for people to facilitate book discussions in 2018, so please don’t hesitate to contact me if there is a book that you’re passionate about and would like to share with the group. The meetings take place the second Friday of every month. Thanks!
