She met us at the door and smiled, her eyes twinkling and her smile charming.
Louise Hay is the queen of the new age, law of attraction, think-it-and-you'll-attract-it movement.
Her books are classics, from Heal Your Body to Empowering Women.
She's 81 years old young and as vibrant as a teenager.
Her I Can! events are sold out pep-fests where people get enough juice to last a year.
Louise is known as one of the founders of the self-help movement. Her first book, Heal Your Body, was published in 1976, long before it was fashionable to discuss the mind-body connection. It was revised and expanded in 1998. It's still considered a classic today.
Louise has helped me personally over the decades, without her knowing it, with her messages of insight and uplift.
I used to read her question and answer section in the back of Science of Mind magazine. It helped me hang in there and focus on what I wanted. It worked, too. Look at me today. :)
Given all of the above, you can imagine my delight to be able to have an evening with Louise Hay.
She invited me and my personal fitness trainer, Scott York, to her multi-million dollar penthouse overlooking everything in San Diego.
We were there for the Steve Reeves film and fitness festival, and to finally see the 1976 Jag XJS I bought that was originally owned by Hercules.
But the car will have to wait for another post.
The view from Louise's penthouse was spectacular.
She poured champagne for us while she pointed out the park, the ocean, the airport, and the other buildings.
She loves San Diego, saying, "It doesn't have any humidity or bugs."
She took us to dinner at another high rise location, where we could see planes come in over the top of office buildings as they landed at the in-city airport.
But the best part of all was getting to ask Louise questions.
Her joy in life is to find new authors and promote them to the world.
She's very excited to have acquired Abraham, brought to you by my friends Jerry and Esther Hicks. Their latest book, Money and the Law of Attraction, is already a bestseller.
Louise travels a lot. She has offices all over the planet. She had only returned from Australia two days earlier when we met her. She didn't seem travel weary at all, though. She radiated health. Scott and I had traveled from Austin to San Diego that very morning and showed more exhaustion than Louise.
She has an office, and an assistant, right in her penthouse.
She showed me some of her paintings, too, which I imagine is a rare treat. I had never heard of her art interests before.
Our conversation covered many topics, including health.
She said almost every health problem had to deal with anger and resentment.
When she got cancer, she realized she had to forgive in order to heal. She knew her issue was with her parents.
She looked at their childhood, saw how they had been raised, and was then better able to understand and forgive them.
As a result, she is cancer free.
Surprisingly, she didn't know much about me or my work. To resolve that, I gave her copies of The Attractor Factor and The Key.
I also told her about Operation YES, my upcoming infomercial on The Awakening Course, and other projects I'm involved in, including my upcoming Miracles Weekend.
Louise said she hadn't heard anything about the Miracles Weekend. That's when I realized I had marketed to my email list but not to San Diego. We can all use reminders. There's always more we can do.
She let me pick from whatever book I wanted in her office and I chose Letters to Louise, which she autographed.
She offered a book to Scott, who said "You don't have to do that."
"I know I don't have to," Louise countered, smiling. "Are you just going to dismiss the good you are offered?"
Of course, Scott then accepted a book.
I asked what she thought of all the movies coming out since The Secret.
She said there are more Indigo children born today, and they don't like to read. They need visuals. As a result, she made her own movie, too, You Can Heal Your Life.
I told her about a female friend of mine suffering from tumors in her uterus. I asked what Louise would do.
She said forgiveness, a nutritionist and a good oriental doctor would help.
She added that most women don't take care of themselves because they focus on others. She said my friend needs to express her creativity and love herself, too.
But what if someone isn't willing to change?
"They have to be ready," Louise asked.
"Can you make them ready?" I asked.
"No one knows why each of us has the challenges we do," she explained. "They have their lessons and we have ours. You have to take care of you."
I asked her what book influenced her the most.
She said The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Shinn. (Hay House now publishes it.)
I asked her what book she's reading now.
She said Success Intelligence by Robert Holden. (She said the photo on the book made the author look like he was twelve years old.)
As I looked around her penthouse, and saw the museum quality furnishings, I thought she reeked of prosperity. But Louise said she's never focused on money, saying "I just ask 'How can I serve?'"
Her first book was a twelve page pamphlet. It evolved into her bestselling classic Heal Your Body.
Three hours later, I hugged and thanked Louise for the evening.
I felt as though I had sat with a legend and was torn between asking loads of questions or just sitting in gratitude.
So I did a little of both.

The What If Up Club
Copyright (c) 2014 Joe Vitale
Mindy Audlin is one of my favorite people.
She's charming, smart, upbeat, and a remarkable speaker and teacher. We held an event together two years ago where I first learned about her What If Up game.
It was life changing.
The best way to understand how it works is to realize the favorite question of the mind is "What if?"
But for most of us that question is asked in a negative, or down, way.
We ask "What if this doesn't work out?" or "What if I lose my job?" or "What if I'm wrong?"
Obviously, that negative seeking question doesn't feel good, and leads to attracting the fears it focuses on.
But Mindy asks you to do a what if UP.
You might ask, "What if this works out beautifully?" or "What if there was never a problem in the first place?" or "What if I get a raise?" or "What if my idea makes me a millionaire?"
This single adjustment in how you ask a question transforms you, your energy, and the very answers you get.
The idea is to look for new possibilities by letting your mind be free. When you do this, you feel fantastic. You also send this new energy into the Universe as an order or request.
I recently attended one of Mindy's local (Wimberley, Texas) What If Up parties. That's where people break into groups of five or so and take turns What If Up-ing each other. It's very juicy and even addictive (in a positive way).
For example, when it was my turn, I said I want the infomercial coming out this week for The Awakening Course to be a top seller in the self-help market.
When you state your goal or problem, you're not allowed to explain it or tell your story around it. It's not needed. You simply state your desire and let the magic begin.
So I stated mine about wanting my infomercial to be a hit.
Someone instantly said, "What if it is the number one bestseller in all categories?"
Someone else said, "What if it is the number one bestseller of this century?"
Another said, "What if it is the number one bestselling infomercial in all of history!?"
At this point I was feeling electricity pumping through my veins.
Mindy explains that the exercise isn't to create a to-do list. You don't make notes or how-tos or to-dos.
The point is to raise your energy, get into the feeling of what you want, and let that experience attract the end result to you.
You still take action, of course, but it's inspired action.
It comes from that place within you that feels great and naturally unfolds. You don't have to make yourself do it; you want to do it.
A beautiful side benefit of doing the what if up exercise a few times is it changes your thinking.
Suddenly you start asking what if up questions in your head rather than what if down questions.
Check this out at www.whatifup.com You'll find more information there, including how to host your own What If Up dinner party.
What if the site is the coolest thing you saw today?
What if it changed your life for the better instantly?
What if?

Got Spirit?
Copyright (c) 2014 Joe Vitale
Years ago I wrote a dissertation for my Doctorate in Metaphysical Science called "Got Spirit"? It was an in-depth study of the most popular metaphysical, new thought and new age movements and the marketing practices their founders used to establish them.
I wrote it because so many people seem to have a negative attitude toward money and marketing that I wanted to see for myself how the biggest and most famous spiritual movements got that way.
I suspected the greatest meta-physicians -- from Jesus to Phineas Parker Quimby to Mary Baker Eddy to Ernest Holmes to Mother Teresa -- were all comfortable with money and either did marketing or had someone do it for them.
It was an illuminating study. Turns out every one of these spiritual teachers and their movements knew the value of money and marketing. Each did everything from writing, speaking and advertising to publicity events to get attention and attract followers.
If that's the case, then why do most metaphysical practitioners today -- most people, period -- dislike marketing and money?
The most obvious answer is they believe, "God will provide."
That reminds me of the story of the man with a beautiful garden in his backyard. One day a man walked by, saw it, and stopped to admire it.
"You have an amazing garden here," the stranger said.
"Thank you," said the owner.
"It's really God's garden, isn't it?"
"Yes, it is," replied the owner. "But you should have seen it when God had it all by Himself."
The point is, God (or the Divine or Nature) provides us with the basics, and we have to do something with what we've been given. If we just allow things to grow in the backyard, we'll have a jungle, not a garden. Someone has to tend to the earth. Even if we've been given (or learned) the talent to heal, we have to let people know we have it for us to be able to use it. In other words, we have to spread the word.
That's marketing.
It's no different than what Jesus, Phineas Parker Quimby (pictured above), Mary Baker Eddy, or even Mother Teresa did. If someone hadn't helped them spread the word, we wouldn't know of them today.
The success of Unity Church is a case in point. Charles and Myrtle Fillmore managed to raise all the money they needed to build and expand their business. It wasn't until 1942 that the real secret of their financial support was revealed. The Fillmores had created a now famous "Dedication and Covenant" on December 7, 1892, that read:
"We, Charles Fillmore and Myrtle Fillmore, husband and wife, hereby dedicate our selves, our time, our money, all we have and all we expect to have, to the Spirit of Truth, and through it, to the Society of Silent Unity.
"It being understood and agreed that the said Spirit of Truth shall render unto us an equivalent for this dedication, in peace of mind, health of body, wisdom, understanding, love, life and an abundant supply of all things necessary to meet every want without our making any of these things the object of our existence.
"In the presence of the Conscious Mind of Christ Jesus, this 7th day of December, 1892 A.D."
Please note that while the Fillmores signed an agreement with Spirit, they also wrote, published and distributed materials to market their message and their offerings. In short, they had to do both: Implement marketing and work with Spirit. I call it the phrase I coined: Spiritual Marketing. It could have easily been called Spiritual Money.
The point here is that money and marketing are not separate from Spirit at all. They are in fact Spirit.
When someone says, "I don't care about money, I just want to follow Spirit," they are revealing their own limitations about the reality of the world.
Money is Spirit.
Saying you aren't interested in money, or marketing, is a form of self-delusion. You don't need to be in love with money to appreciate it and attract it. When you realize it's a tool of Spirit, you are in a position to create miracles.
Dr. Hew Len, my coauthor for the book Zero Limits, is clear that money is of Spirit. He uses the Ho'oponopono practice to clean on everything, including any negativity around money. As a result, our book is a bestseller and I send him huge checks for half of everything that I ever receive from anything related to Zero Limits products. He simply receives.
When you have Spirit, you can have money.
They aren't separate.
Got Spirit?

How to Choose the Best Drug Rehab Center
Seeking help to overcome drug addiction can be the biggest or hardest decision of a person suffering from substance abuse. The decision is often made by an individual through the support of the people caring for him or her. Comes with this decision is another difficult task which is to find the <a href="%20http:/www.Best-Drug-Rehabilitation-Centers.com/">best drug rehab centers</a> suited for the patient. Finding the best one among the vast choices of rehab centers may be a tedious task not only for the patient but also for his or her loved ones. There are several factors that are usually considered in looking for a good drug rehab center which is best suited for the needs of the patient. Here are five things to consider in choosing the best drug rehab center.
• Treatment Programs
Rehabilitation centers offer different treatment options for patients to cater to individual needs. The usual treatment for substance abuse is the 12-step program. Also, there are programs catered for younger patients like teenagers and other programs that are suited for adults. Treatment programs usually include medical, psychological and some physical activities appropriate for the recovery of the patient.
• Length of Treatment
Drug rehab centers usually offer a short-term and a long-term treatment program. The short-term is commonly a month long process while the long-term may extend from three months or even longer depending on the patient's response to the program. Longer treatment is usually more effective than the shorter programs. There are also instances that patients return couple more times to the drug rehab facility for further treatment.
• Cost of Treatment
This is one of the major factors often considered by patients or their loved ones especially if the needed treatment program will not be covered by the individual's health insurance. The costs for treatment vary from one rehab center to another. Drug rehab centers with sophisticated facilities, accommodation and programs normally charge higher prices than the average ones.
• Location of the Facility
One significant factor for the immediate recovery of substance users is the constant support of the people they care about. This is one of the reasons why a patient or his or her loved ones consider the actual location of the facility for the treatment. Support system plays a vital role from the treatment period to the recovery. Some families choose <a href="%20http:/www.Best-Drug-Rehabilitation-Centers.com/">rehab centers</a> closer to their homes so they can easily visit their patients. Sometimes this is also favorable for the patient because it gives a comforting feeling of being close to home while undergoing treatment.
• After Treatment Programs
Overcoming substance addiction does not end from the treatment program alone. There are times that patients have to come back and start all over again simply because there are no follow through or after treatment programs for them. Some recovery centers provide support activities in which former patients can reach out to each other as part of their recovery. There are also some drug rehab facilities that offer transition programs for their patients which help them prepare for life after treatment.
Deciding to stop and heal from substance abuse is really tough. Most of the times, looking for the right rehab center becomes another obstacle to the person's road to recovery. This should not be the case if the factors and options are carefully considered in seeking for the best drug rehab center.

The #1 Self-Help Book
Copyright (c) 2014 Joe Vitale
There are only a handful of books that have dramatically influenced my life. Considering how much I read (sometimes a book a day), that's pretty sad.
There's The Magic of Believing and The Robert Collier Letter Book.
But number one on the list is one you may never have heard of before: The Book of est.
It beat out Think and Grow Rich, and even the Bible. I know that's bold and controversial. But it's also the truth.
Here are two reasons why I love the book:
The book is the famous est experience in written form. est, or Erhard Seminar Training, was the controversial self-help movement of the 1970s and beyond.
Anyone who withstood the heat of the weekends was never the same again. Lives were transformed forever. You faced yourself and your story in a way that was confrontational and oh so real.
I never got to do est. I was a skeptic and a hold out. I made fun of it when I saw all the articles about it.
Truth is, I was afraid of it.
I was young and in college and unsure of everything, including myself. By the time I got around to wanting to do est, it was gone and reincarnated into something called The Forum.
I did the Forum and endorse it today.
But it's no est.
The Book of est puts you into the room and gets you to feel the intensity. You somehow experience est.
And it's hot.
When my late wife began to type up the book to be republished by me, she had to keep stopping. She said it was intense and dramatic.
She died during the transcription process. But that had nothing to do with the book. It had more to do with her choices and what the book urged her to face.
Obviously, a book isn't a drill sergeant self-help instructor yelling in your face about what isn't working in your life. But The Book of est comes close.
It's safe.
It's easy reading.
But it's still real.
Oh so very real.
Just reading it can cause you to awaken to your own patterns. And once you see them, you can let them go.
Or not.
After all, what you get from the book is what you get.
But that's only the first reason I love The Book of est.
The second reason I love this book is because the writing is, well, hypnotic. It's riveting.
Luke Rhinehart has the gift of writing dialogue and description that puts you in the room with the characters experiencing est.
In many ways, this was one of the first examples I ever found of what I eventually labeled as Hypnotic Writing. While I later wrote a book called Hypnotic Writing, it was Luke Rhinehart who paved the way for me to know what it was when a true master was at work.
For me, this is one of the best written books of all time.
The author wrote some other cult classics, too. The Dice Man is a masterpiece. It's well written, engaging, humorous and in some ways dangerous.
Just like The Book of est.
But where The Dice Man is alive and well in print, The Book of est has been gone for decades.
Search on eBay or Amazon and you might find original copies going for one hundred dollars on up to a thousand dollars. I've paid that much for copies, too. I collect them.
The Book of est is one of the rare life changing gems that I can't get enough of or read enough times.
Sometimes I give the book away. Usually I don't. Usually I just keep it for myself, as one of the most powerful books of all time kept hidden in my own secret vault of wisdom.
The good news for you is this: Luke is now a friend of mine. We've corresponded, shared books, and decided to join a partnership. With the help of my friend Mark Ryan, the most powerful self-help book of all time is now available to you.
And all you have to do is go here to get it as a downloadable ebook -
www.thebookofest.com
Go see.
I dare you.
PS - est was all about being real. The Book of est will challenge you as never before. How? And why is it the greatest self-help book of all time? Go see for yourself at www.thebookofest.com I double-dare you.

I never got to do est. I was a skeptic and a hold out. I made fun of it when I saw all the articles about it.
Truth is, I was afraid of it.
I was young and in college and unsure of everything, including myself. By the time I got around to wanting to do est, it was gone and reincarnated into something called The Forum.
I did the Forum and endorse it today.
But it's no est.
The Book of est puts you into the room and gets you to feel the intensity. You somehow experience est.
And it's hot.
When my late wife began to type up the book to be republished by me, she had to keep stopping. She said it was intense and dramatic.
She died during the transcription process. But that had nothing to do with the book. It had more to do with her choices and what the book urged her to face.
Obviously, a book isn't a drill sergeant self-help instructor yelling in your face about what isn't working in your life. But The Book of est comes close.
It's safe.
It's easy reading.
But it's still real.
Oh so very real.
Just reading it can cause you to awaken to your own patterns. And once you see them, you can let them go.
Or not.
After all, what you get from the book is what you get.
But that's only the first reason I love The Book of est.
The second reason I love this book is because the writing is, well, hypnotic. It's riveting.
Luke Rhinehart has the gift of writing dialogue and description that puts you in the room with the characters experiencing est.
In many ways, this was one of the first examples I ever found of what I eventually labeled as Hypnotic Writing. While I later wrote a book called Hypnotic Writing, it was Luke Rhinehart who paved the way for me to know what it was when a true master was at work.
For me, this is one of the best written books of all time.
The author wrote some other cult classics, too. The Dice Man is a masterpiece. It's well written, engaging, humorous and in some ways dangerous.
Just like The Book of est.
But where The Dice Man is alive and well in print, The Book of est has been gone for decades.
Search on eBay or Amazon and you might find original copies going for one hundred dollars on up to a thousand dollars. I've paid that much for copies, too. I collect them.
The Book of est is one of the rare life changing gems that I can't get enough of or read enough times.
Sometimes I give the book away. Usually I don't. Usually I just keep it for myself, as one of the most powerful books of all time kept hidden in my own secret vault of wisdom.
The good news for you is this: Luke is now a friend of mine. We've corresponded, shared books, and decided to join a partnership. With the help of my friend Mark Ryan, the most powerful self-help book of all time is now available to you.
And all you have to do is go here to get it as a downloadable ebook -
