Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting: The Astonishing Power of Feelings

By Lynn Grabhorn

never before told, because it
was never before known

In an upbeat, humorous, and somewhat irreverent style, Lynn Grabhorn introduces us to the amazing Law of Attraction, a new and rapidly unfolding realm of feelings that physicians, scientists, physicists, and theologians are coming to believe is very, very real . . . 

Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting clarifies why most of our dreams have never materialized, why the majority of us have lived with all-too-empty bank accounts, tough relationships, failing health, and often spiritually unfulfilling lives. Most importantly, in an easy-to-read style peppered with logical explanations, simple steps, and true-life examples, Lynn Granhorn shows us how to turn it all around -- right now.

The most unconscious thing we do all day long is what actually creates and molds every moment of every day of our lives. And what is this "thing" that governs us so forcefully? Feelings! Grabhorn reveals how our feelings make our lives what they are -- not positive thinking, or sweat and strain, or good or bad luck, or even smarts, but feelings: good ones, bad ones, down ones, and all the ones in between.

Until now, we have run our lives on a default setting, manifesting experiences by happenstance rather than intent. Now, with no effort other than paying attention to how we're feeling, the play becomes our own deliberate creation, and the world becomes our oyster.

Reviews
"If you had told me what this book was about, you know I would have passed. But as early as chapter three, I found things changing in my life. Good grief, Lynn, this stuff is dynamite!"
--J.S., Bank President

". . . and already the dollar flow has reversed itself, with more coming in than going out."
--M.P., Employment Counselor

"I can't believe it. In the three months since reading this, I've almost doubled my sales and settled a couple of long-standing problems in my marriage. I'm recommending this book to management."
--O.T., Regional Sales Manager

"Our whole family is doing this, and the change in  our circumstances has been profound. This is the missing link I've been looking for my entire life."
--G.W., Housewife

"It's as though this author has grabbed us up, offered to buy us lunch, and can't wait to share this exciting, cosmically guaranteed method for getting absolutely every goodie we ever wanted. Beyond positive thinking, beyond visioning and imaging, here we learn to live above our normal "default setting" and feeeel and vibrate on a higher level, perfecting the Law of Attraction that brings lots of really good stuff our way."
--NAPRA Review

"Beware! Worry and fear can draw to you exactly the kind of experience you most hope to avoid, and as author Lynn Grabhorn reminds us, it is all too easy to slip into almost unconscious negative thinking patterns. But Grabhorn won't let this happen to you! She won't let you slip into victim-hood, or snooze through your unlivable life. With her highly motivational theories, tips, and guides, she explains the ever-popular law of "Vibrational Attraction" with a new twist, and invites you to become the creator of your own bliss."
--Bodhi Tree

"This was a very good book. That may be a rather simple statement, yet in fact, I feel that Excuse Me Your Life is Waiting is one of the three all time best books I have ever read! Lynn Grabhorn has written a great self-help, psychology book. Real people like you and I can instantly understand the concepts in it and reap huge rewards. Excuse Me Your Life is Waiting has two strategies. One of these strategies is to give you a totally flexible system of thought allowing you to feel genuinely good. The other is to build within yourself a state of being which constantly attracts positive energy to all aspects of your life. Grabhorn's system is incredibly simple and incredibly attractive."

Tuning Forks and the Law of Attraction 

Way back in the thirties a couple of guys in the Orient were attempting to prove that thoughts were real things, and that different kinds of thoughts create different kinds of vibrations. So they decided to see if they could actually photograph vibrations of thought. And by golly they did, right through steel walls, an experiment that's been replicated many times since.

But they also proved something else perhaps even more important. They found that the more emotion the thinker/sender charged his thoughts with, the clearer the picture turned out to be! These fellows were possibly the first to prove that there is magnetic energy attached to our thoughts, and that thought is propelled by our emotions. What they missed, though, is that because the vibrational waves (emotions) we send out are magnetically charged, we are literally walking magnets, constantly pulling back into our world anything that just happens to be playing on the same frequency or wavelength.

For instance, when we're feeling up, filled with joy and gratitude, our emotions are sending out high frequency vibrations that will magnetize only good stuff back to us, meaning anything with the same high vibratory frequency that matches what we're sending out. Like attracts like. 

On the other hand, when we're experiencing anything that joy isn't, such as fear, worry, guilt, or even mild concern, those emotions are sending out low-frequency vibrations. Since low frequencies are every bit as magnetic as high frequencies, they're going to attract only cruddy stuff back to us, meaning anything of that same low frequency that will cause us to feel (and vibrate) as lousy as what we're sending out. Cruddy out, cruddy back; it's always a vibrational match.

So whether it's high vibrational joy, or low vibrational worry, what we're vibrationally offering in any moment is what we're attracting back. We are the initiators of the vibrations, therefore the magnets, the cause. Like it or not, we have created -- and are creating -- it all. We may be flesh and blood, but first and foremost we are energy -- magnetic energy at that! Which makes us living, breathing magnets. (Don't you love it? You may think you're president of a Fortune 500 company, or a mother and wife, or valedictorian of your class, or an airline mechanic, but what you really are is a walking magnet! Ah, little did you know.) 

Crazy as that may sound, it's high time we woke up to the fact that we are electromagnetic beings tripping around with this mindboggling capacity to magnetize into our lives whatever in the world we desire by controlling the feelings that come from our thoughts.

But because we exist on this planet in a predominantly low frequency field of energy born of over six billion people who are vibrating more feelings of stress and fearfulness than joy, we involuntarily take in those vibrations and react to them. Which means that until we consciously learn to override the pervasive low frequencies in which we exist, we will keep recycling unpleasant outcomes into our lives day after tiresome day. Just like swimming in salt water, if we don't wash the residue off, sooner or later it's going to make us mighty uncomfortable.

There's just no way around it; the way we feel is the way we attract. And more often than not those feelings come from our thoughts, setting up the instantaneous electromagnetic chain reactions that ultimately cause things to happen, to be created, to be withheld, or to be destroyed (like my big commissions).

So, once again: Our feelings go out from us in electromagnetic waves. Whatever frequency goes out will automatically attract its identical frequency, thus causing things to happen -- good or bad -- by finding their matching vibrations.

Happy, high vibrations attract happy, high vibrational circumstances. Yucky, low vibrations attract yucky low vibrational circumstances. In both cases, what comes back causes us to feel just as high or low as what we had been transmitting (feeling), because it's an exact vibrational match to what we sent out.

It's the same principle as a tuning fork. Ding a tuning fork in a room filled with all different kinds of tuning forks calibrated to various pitches, and only the ones calibrated to the same frequency as the one you just dinged will ding too, even if they're way across the Astrodome. Like forces attract; it's a classic rule of physics.

But unlike a tuning fork which never changes its tonal frequency, we humans with our ever-changing emotions flip-flop our frequencies and magnetic intensities all over the place like lotto balls in a blow machine. One minute we can be as high as a kite and as powerful as the sun, and, in the very next, about as turned-on energetically as a cardboard box under the couch. What flips us around like that comes from the kinds of -- and intensity of -- feeeeelings we're having: from luke warm happy to way up, or from just blah to way down.

So instead of being one, constant, well-aimed tuning fork, we're more like a whole bunch of them clustered together, each having a different pitch or frequency, and collectively pinging haphazardly all over the place with our up-down, up-down emotions. Since one minute we're pinging high and the next minute we're pinging low, causing one frequency to cancel out the other, nothing much ever changes in our lives, or at least not very rapidly.

Only we're not tuning forks. What's coming back to us as a result of the jumble of unfocused emotional energy (vibrations) we spew out every instant are rarely pleasant little pings, but a relentless procession of messed-up, hit or miss, unplanned events and circumstances.

Needless to say, what we've been creating with all this indiscriminate flowing of energy is pure pandemonium at worst and a second-rate life at best as we continue magnetizing into our day-to-day existence every experience, person, game, happening, encounter, incident, event, hazard, occasion, or episode by however we happen to be vibrating. Which means feeling.
