The Highs and the Lows of Our Book Journey

August 4, 2011 By 5 Comments

One week ago Hay House announced the winners of their book contest. Brendon and I waited in anticipation, hoping that our names would be announced.

In preparation for the announcement, we put into practice all of the law of attraction tools we’ve learned: we visualized, we said our affirmations, we did our cross-crawls, we meditated, we did the happy dance, we ate healthy, we exercised, we did everything we could to keep our vibration up. We celebrated as though we’d already won!

We were feeling great! Expecting the best… and then we read the announcement… and our names weren’t there. We were not awarded a book deal with Hay House.

At first we both felt defeated and devastated. All of the “monkey thoughts” came up, like: “what a waste of time, why not me?, I’m doing my best and when is the Universe going to show up? What’s it all for anyhow?” Oh yah… victim mentality and ego were creeping in big time! We’d hit a wall.

We reached out to our coaches, healers and friends for support. They were there to remind us that:

-       We are not alone

-       Don’t put all our eggs in one basket because that basket might not be the best basket for us

-       The Universe knows better than we do: trust and keep staying in faith

-       Are we committed to the message? If so, then stay detached from the result.

One week later we’re back on our feet, and in fact, we had a breakthrough just this morning!

We want to thank you: our friends, clients, readers, and supporters for standing by us and encouraging us in our book journey.

We will be self-publishing our book Sleep Secrets: A Step-by-Step Guide to Getting a Good Night’s Sleep Tonight and Every Night with Balboa Press, a division of Hay House.

That’s right… we’re doing it anyways!

We are in the midst of creating a whole new online business around this book… stay tuned for more on this. Hint: our breakthrough this morning had something to do with this!

We’ve learned that we need to stay rock solid in our own commitment to our purpose and our vision, despite what anyone else says or doesn’t say.

Like you, we are on a mission to go from hiding to shining. We all continue to take that next step in shining brighter, making our impact on the world, and experiencing our abundance.

Thank-you for joining us on this adventurous road!

On a side note, we are extremely proud to announce that one of our website and coaching clients, Erin Cox, was awarded one of the Hay House book deals! Congratulations Erin! Check out Erin’s website here: http://www.herinspiredlife.com/home/ (that’s right, we were “competing” with a client and hoping that we’d both win.) We love Erin and are so proud of her!

Announcement: Our Book Journey Begins – and You’re Invited To Come Along

April 7, 2011 By 7 Comments

Brendon and Christine LumgairChristine and I are now soon-to-be published authors!

This week we signed on with a division of Hay House, called Balboa Press.

We are very excited and grateful for this opportunity. Our professional journey begins now with our first physical book.

This is the launch of a whole new part of our career as Inspirational authors and speakers. We’ve written several e-books, and conducted many speeches and presentations, and now we are turning Pro!

It’s been almost ten years since we graduated university with our engineering degrees. I was also divinely led to get into Philosophy and earned a BA degree in Philosophy. That was the environment that fostered and grew my love of wisdom (which is from the Greek work philosophia) and found joy and creative expression through writing.

Guess what we’re writing about???

Do you want to write and publish your own book?

Do you want to set yourself in the energy of receiving the good that is there and available to you and your business?

Do you want to break through any limiting beliefs that have held you back, and create new and supportive beliefs to take your platform to the next level?

I interviewed Suze Casey, who was recently awarded the Hay House book contract and Hay House Radio show!

Suze attended the Movers & Shakers workshop at the I CAN DO IT! Conference, in Toronto last September. In early December she received a phone call from Reid Tracy, the CEO of Hay House. Reid gave her the good news that she won the radio show, and not only that, but the book contract too!

During this one-hour interview, I asked Suze how she did it.

Download the recording of this 1-hour free web-show and learn:

  • What were the key ingredients in Suze’s book proposal
  • What she did in her video submission that set her apart from the rest
  • How she has built a successful platform over the last 10 + years
  • How Suze overcame limiting beliefs that were previously holding her back… beliefs like:

- “I don’t deserve it.”
- “My life isn’t perfect so how could I really be a huge success?”
- “I’ve been told that my business has flaws and I feel insecure about moving forward. ”

Learn how Suze overcame these obstacles to be awarded the Hay House contest… and how YOU CAN TOO!

When Reid Tracy called her with the good news, Suze did everything she could to contain the tears. When she hung up the phone, she released tears of joy, gratitude and relief.

She shared what these tears were really about. And the inner-conflict she had to resolve within herself.

She knows that resolving those inner-conflicts created the positive space for her dreams to be realized.

Do you have limiting beliefs that have been holding you back? Dreams you want to realize?

Do you want to set yourself in the energy of receiving the good that is there and available to you and your business?

Suze lead us through through the technique she has developed called Belief Re-patterning ® to release whatever is holding you back in achieving your next big goal.

I have personally used Belief Re-patterning many times and have experienced amazing results. In fact, every time I have a Belief Re-patterning session, I attract a new client!

Belief Re-patterning is a practical and efficient method of releasing beliefs that have limited you. This learning technique is completely complimentary with all forms of healing and treatment and works within all religious or spiritual belief systems. This technique is a synthesis of psychology, energy work, kinesthetics, an understanding of brain development, learning styles and positive thinking strategies.

Re-pattern your beliefs around your book proposal and video submission!

We know that during the web-show you’ll experience one – or more – “aha” moments about your book proposal or video submission. This hour will shift up your business and your energy! Together we will learn from Suze’s journey and her success.

Announcing the Light Shine Interview Web Show!

February 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Hi Everyone, it’s Christine here…

While on the Hay House cruise, one of the most inspiring presentations was by Lisa Garr and Gina Salvati of The Aware Show, a Los Angeles radio show. Their presentation was about the “Do’s and Don’ts of Radio Interviews”. The more I listened to Lisa, the radio host, the more excited I became.

The thoughts running through my head were, “I don’t want to be interviewed…. I want to be the interviewer!” This was a new realization for me.

Then I got confirmation from the Universe. When I got off the cruise and checked my email, I had an email from my psychic friend, Tara, saying that she had a vision of me doing interviews, Oprah style. My heart skipped a beat and my armpits got sweaty. Okay, I really had to do this!

So, here it is… the launch of the Light Shine Interview Web Show!

I am absolutely thrilled to announce that my first guest is Suze Casey, who recently won the Hay House book contract and radio show! For more details and to register for this interview, click HERE.

Hay House Cruise – my Top 3 “I Can Do Its”

February 9, 2011 By 11 Comments

Brendon & Christine Lumgair - Hay House I Can Do It CruiseWe just got back from the Hay House ” I CAN DO IT!” At Sea Cruise!

It was like floating on a cloud in Heaven for one week. It was amazing, the energy was palpable from the moment we stepped on board. Doreen Virtue was there and she brought the angels to the party!

Imagine… 1900 of the coolest, most conscious people on the planet, all together with the same intention of ” I Can Do It!”.  Whatever “It” was for each of us individually, we were affirming hope, personal power and growth.  There was also the celebration of the bigger “It”, of our awakening, our conscious community, and the earth.  It was a true joy to be around so many positive and uplifting people.

Here are my top 3 “I Can Do Its”, and if I can do it, so can you!

1. I can write a book.  I learned from Wayne Dyer and Cheryl Richardson that writing is a passion and a process. No matter what self-doubts pop up about “who am I to _____” or “I’d be crazy to _____”, I will patiently stop and thank the mind / belief system for trying to protect me, and keep letting the passion flow. All I need to do is sit down, pray, and write what comes through me. Writing isn’t about perfectionism ( I am a recovering-perfectionist). That’s why God created Editors, hooray! They get to do what they’re best at, and I will focus on what I’m best at.Brendon & Christine Lumgair - Hay House I Can Do It Cruise

2. I can make a difference without being published by giant publisher. Reid Tracy, the CEO of Hay House emphasized the reality facing authors and speakers today: you need to market your own book and manage your own professional speaking career.  Christine and I can both get caught up in what we call, “waiting for Oprah to call”.  This is creating content (book, training course, website), then stopping and waiting for someone else to walk up and hand you an audience. The lesson is to keep building your platform (your connection and relationship with your audience). This requires personal initiative, tenacity and of course, Grace.  Now when those thoughts pop-up in my head I remember that no one would publish Louise Hay’s first book You Can Heal Your Life, so she created Hay House at age (I believe) 61 and self-published it herself in the early 80′s.  That book has healed and transformed millions of lives, including helping me heal my own eyesight back to 20/20 and throw out my glasses 6 years ago.  Wayne Dyer also started out self-publishing and bought up the first three runs of his book, then drove city to city to city to city to city, giving talks and eventually appearing on Public Television.

3. I can instantly be myself with people.  Having the entire Cruise ship chartered for Hay House made this a holistic community.  It was easy to walk up to a table with people eating and ask to join them. Mentally, I knew these were all “woo-woo spiritual folks” just like me. That allowed me to let down my guard easily and enter into a deep and meaningful dialogue right away. We also delighted in chatting about where we lived, and what type of fruity cocktails we had on the beach that day. I realized, hey this is pretty easy, and I can slide into this more often.  Of course, just like in any other conversation, I needed to self-facilitate and share from my heart, when the opportunity was appropriate and there was a willingness to hear.

There is great value in being on a residential retreat with people for several days. Bonds form and new friendships blossom.

Feel free to make these “I can do its!” into your own “I can do its!”

Shine On!

Brendon
