Hey everyone,
It never ceases to amaze me how one person can say something with a certain intention, and another person may hear it in a completely unintended way.
That's what happened after I reported that the blog has moved ...
I received emails expressing disappointment that I had decided to "shut down" the blog.
Lest there be any confusion, this blog HAS NOT SHUT DOWN.
What part of "MOVED" was not clear?
This blog has MOVED, to a private domain, where it is easier for me to have the look and feel that I like.
The blog has MOVED to http://spiritualseduction.com.
So please bookmark and RSS feed the new site and GO THERE NOW because I'm not going to be posting over here anymore, BUT I WILL BE POSTING ON SPIRITUALSEDUCTION.COM.
If you want my premium content and my more intimate content (such as photos from the NYC shoot), though, you will need to sign up for my list, which you can also do by going to http://spiritualseduction.com.
Yes, I am shamelessly marketing with my sexuality. Let's face it, sex sells. :) Especially when you are as sexy as I am.
If you want to receive the good stuff, you also need to give to me, although in this case, the only thing you need to give for now to get on my list of intimate followers is your email address.
cheers,
Erika
p.s. Speaking of which, the 7-day video course, which has been a big hit, is NO LONGER going to be free. My mentor thought I was crazy for giving away so much content for free, and she's right. Very soon, the videos will be turned into a product and will be available for a FEE (NOT free).
Thus, if you want them for free, you must sign up AND watch the videos NOW at http://erikaawakening.com.
p.p.s. I do NOT want to hear any whining when the videos are no longer free, because it cost thousands of dollars to produce that 7-day course. It was a gift that I offered for free for a little while. A gift I was happy to give but that is now expiring. So sign up now, and (if you've been procrastinating) WATCH THEM NOW, because when they become un-free, IMMINENTLY, the only way to get them will be by purchasing the product.

An extra good reason to move to the new blog ;)
If you're anything like me, you kinda got attached to this good ol' Blogspot blog.
I've had a tough time saying goodbye to Awakening from the Dream.
I keep wanting to come back here, yet I know that it's time to move on ...
Lol :)
So I decided to help you out with this.
I just posted your first glimpse of my NYC photo session (i.e., a photo of me half naked) over on Spiritual Seduction.
It is my sincerest hope that this will help both of us feel better about this difficult transition away from this blog to the new blog.
And anyway, I'm freezing over there, half naked and all, so please come keep me company :)
Go here to get a glimpse now ... :)

My fees: why they are not negotiable, and why this is good for both of us :)
In my continuing quest to talk about "taboo" topics on this blog, let's talk this morning in a very straight up way about MONEY.
Here's the thing. Over the past couple of weeks, a bunch of people have expressed interest in working with me personally using the Holistic Belief Reprogramming (HBR) system that I recently unveiled.
At the moment, my HBR system is available in four forms:
1. 7-day video course and articles on this blog and Spiritual Seduction (free)
2. Introductory session (a personal 90-minute session with me for new clients only, which comes with a FREE audio recording so you can tap along later) ($147)
3. Package of five 90-minute HBR sessions ($499 down + two additional payments of $499)
4. My 15-week Course in Miracles, which is a full-on mentorship program that not only includes 15 full sessions during which we will work on issues of your choice and unlimited email support, but also teaches my entire HBR method top to bottom so that you can use the system on yourself and your own friends or clients ($499 down + $6498 balance due before starting the course).
After people do the intro session (sign up here), they usually can see right away just how powerful this method is and they want to do more sessions.
Often people sign up for more sessions right away.
(Smart move. :)
Sometimes people inquire whether it is possible for me to give them a lower rate or a smaller number of sessions.
The answer to that is NO. I have made a commitment to myself, AND TO YOU, not to negotiate on pricing or number of sessions.
Now, I understand that many people still do not yet live in a World of Infinite Abundance, where money really does "grow on trees," and that for some people these prices may feel like a bit of a stretch.
I'm not trying to be mean when I hold very strong boundaries about my rates and the number of sessions.
My being a stickler about this is actually better FOR BOTH OF US.
Let me explain why.
One very important reason is YOUR RESULTS.
Five sessions is a bare minimum for really making a substantial amount of progress with a client (and it will be substantial progress if you are willing to commit fully to the process that I recommend to you).
When I allowed people to do a fewer number of sessions, I noticed that right around session three, they would come up against the Shadow Self, which would bring up a lot of intense emotions that are tough to face, and if they didn't have the upfront commitment in place, it was too tempting to find excuses not to continue our work. Whereas, the people who DID CONTINUE despite the intense emotions were getting mega-results.
Another very important reason is OUR MUTUAL INVESTMENT.
In order for YOU to get the maximum benefit from HBR, you must make an investment in it. Making a significant investment is one of the KEYS to a program like HBR that ACTUALLY WORKS. It enhances motivation and commitment. Without a significant investment, again, it's far too easy not to take the program as seriously as it needs to be taken to get the MAXIMUM RESULTS.
I invest deeply in each of my clients, learning their belief system thoroughly so that I can work within it. I can only make that level of investment with a relatively small group of people at any one time. Having the up front commitment from YOU for a full program is the only way for me to make sure you get the results that you deserve AND I keep myself excited about the work and ultra-motivated.
The bottom line is that my clients get WAY better results when they make the full commitment up front, and I have WAY more peace of mind. That's why I do it this way, and this is how it evolved after seeing people try to do it piecemeal, which quite simply did not work for them or me.
Whereas, the price tags of my programs will seem inconsequential when you get HUGE RESULTS and you no longer have to worry about things like financial scarcity, fear of public speaking, fear of approaching women, and so forth.
Seriously, how much is it worth to you to have a method for solving virtually any problem that arises in your life? It's PRICELESS. :)
A third absolutely vital reason is FINANCIAL VIABILITY.
As an attorney, my billing rate would be $500/hour or more. I have spent MORE money educating myself to do what we did last night than I did to go to Harvard Law School and become an attorney. No joke. I also spend a HUGE amount of time and money on the infrastructure needed to support my practice. Thus, my current rates are absolutely the bare minimum to keep things going.
And, last but not least, a fourth reason is EXPERTISE.
Some people mistakenly believe that my system is "just" EFT/tapping. It's not. Think of EFT/tapping as the equivalent of a laser scalpel. Oh yes, it's a very powerful tool. But it's an entirely different tool in the hands of a five-year old than it is in the hands of a world-class neurosurgeon.
Who would you trust with a task as important as TRANSFORMING YOUR ENTIRE LIFE?
With me, you are getting a world class practitioner who is going to save you months if not years of effort trying to learn how to use EFT/tapping effectively on your own. I already invested the tens of thousands of dollars in training so that you won't have to.
And yes, I really AM that good. ;) My method works faster than ANYTHING I have ever seen -- because of how much time and money I have invested in it. My time doing this work is worth far more to people than an hour of my attorney time (in terms of solving their problems), yet I charge far less. So I need to stay firm on the rates. If anything, I will need to start charging MORE, not less. (Which means, if you want to lock in these rates, please sign up now on my coaching page.)
So that's why I'm a stickler about the rates and program length. It benefits BOTH OF US.
cheers,
Erika
p.s. Now, all that said, I am going to do this one thing: I am offering a very limited time $1000 discount on the extended 15-week program, to $5997. Considering that you will be learning my entire method, which will not only allow you to solve virtually any problem that arises in your own life but also to apply the system with your own clients, this is a BARGAIN.
And if you also do a 5-session package along with it, I'll give you a $500 discount on that as well.
But hurry and email me RIGHT NOW at erika@erikaawakening.com. These offers expire at my discretion and will not last for long. I don't want you to miss out!
Imagine having a problem-free life AND a new source of income when you can use my system with others to solve their problems as well :)
Email me NOW at erika@erikaawakening.com to take advantage of these VERY limited-time offers.

Another NYC announcement - Join me at the Global Pickup Conference Memorial Day Weekend! :)
Now I'm back in San Francisco after my NYC trip. It was so much fun!
The lair talk was really awesome. Thanks to all the guys who came out. I have been receiving super positive feedback from both the organizer and the guys who attended.
We recorded the talk on video and may be releasing a segment from it soon, so stay tuned for that ...
Now on to my most exciting news of the day :)

I have another NYC trip on the horizon (yay!) ...
Many of you have been asking me about The Global Pickup Conference happening May 29th- 31st in New York City.
This conference is one of the best offers I have seen because, first of all, it's cheap. Tickets are ONLY $257 for 4 days of training (and socializing, which is often the best part of these conferences -- the connections you make!).

The biggest benefit is that you actually get INFIELD TRAINING included in the ticket price. This way you’re able to learn from the best Gurus in the world. The best thing is you actually go infield with them and have them guide you infield every step of the way.
That's right: Three days of seminar (classroom style) and 1 full day of INIFIELD TRAINING for a mere $257.
Not to mention all the bonuses this conference is giving away ... such as, 100 Page Routine Manual (Valued at $100), VIP Video Vault Access with over 10 hours of video footage (Valued at $300) from all the instructors participating in the conference. The Video Vault holds infield footage, interviews, training videos and much, much more. Check it out at http://www.globalpickupconference.com.
'
...and that isn't even the best thing about this whole thing. The best thing is it's happening over Memorial Day Weekend so you will have a 4-day weekend and won’t have to take much if any time off of work. I gotta warn you though, seating is limited and prices are going up April, 1st so don’t hesitate sign up today at http://www.globalpickupconference.com.

Why it's a mistake to limit yourself to "free" advice ...
Hey everyone,
Thank you for your feedback on the 7-day video course. I have been getting a lot of people saying they are getting a lot of value out of it, and I appreciate hearing it :)
If you have not yet signed up for it, go here now.
One thing I'm a little less happy about ... is that I'm being inundated again with questions and requests for free advice.
And while I absolutely want to help each and every one of you ...
there are some things you need to understand.
I spend an enormous amount of time, money, and effort to bring you free content, through this blog, the video course, presentations around the country, and so forth ...
not to mention the tens of thousands of dollars I spent developing my Holistic Belief Reprogramming system.
The video course alone -- while it is free for you -- cost thousands of dollars to produce. That money came out of my pocket. And while I'm very happy to spend that money to get the word out about HBR, the rest of what I have to offer you (which is a lot, we can turn your whole life around) is NOT free. Lol :) Makes sense, yes?
So please ... show some respect and, if you would like personalized help with your particular issue, do not hit me up for free advice. Instead, please sign up for an introductory session here (new clients only).
Let me tell you something more. If you really want your life transformed, "free" advice is not the way to go.
Free advice is not structured or personalized for YOU. It will tend to be a much lower quality than paid advice from an expert.
I did NOT turn my life around by relying on free advice, which tended to be very fragmented and only got me deeper into chaos and confusion.
I turned my life around by working with a large number of very expensive coaches and healers (literally tens of thousands of dollars' worth of coaching) ... by keeping the best of what I learned from each one, discarding the rest, and integrating it into my brand new system called Holistic Belief Reprogramming.
If you are TRULY SERIOUS about having all your problems solved and transforming your life, then INVEST IN YOURSELF and sign up for my miraculous 15-week program now.
I invest very deeply in my clients, becoming a step-by-step mentor for them. I will learn your entire belief system top to bottom and help you overhaul it completely.
The value of this process is PRICELESS.
If you want that quality of investment from your coach, you must be willing to invest in the coach as well. It's a relationship of mutual giving. Trying to get everything for free goes against basic spiritual principles of giving and receiving and will sabotage your transformation efforts.
Now, on the flip side, the rewards of INVESTING IN YOURSELF are enormous.
A recent client who finished the program commented on Facebook that we cleared out virtually EVERYTHING that had been blocking him. He has a whole new life now.
That's because he INVESTED IN HIMSELF by doing the full program.
I highly recommend you do the same, but only if you are SERIOUS and COMMITTED and absolutely DETERMINED to have your sticking points handled.
At first glance, it may seem like a lot of money ...
But ask yourself, how much would it be worth to me to have all my problems solved?
How much would it be worth to me to alleviate financial stress, have a super abundant dating life, discover my true life purpose, and have a system at my fingertips for solving virtually any problem that arises?
It's PRICELESS. It is worth every penny I spent on developing the system, which was a LOT of money.
You cannot put a value on personal peace. It's value is infinite.
So INVEST IN YOURSELF ... NOW, before you spend another minute uselessly going in circles trying to sort out so-called "free" advice.
Sign up here now. :)
cheers,
Erika
p.s. This is a system you will then be able to use to solve virtually any problem that arises in your life.
I look forward to helping you REDESIGN YOUR ENTIRE REALITY. Go here now.

The path to ultimate happiness is not what you think ... ;)
Hi Blog Friends,
I am having an absolutely amazing time in NYC. Rachel Stephens (you can see her phenomenally hot photography of women here) did a really fun photo shoot with me today. I personally believe that every woman deserves to treat herself to an experience like this at least once in her life :)
Now looking forward to seeing Rachel's finished product. If you're lucky, perhaps I'll open up and share a few of them :)
Last night after my lair talk, which was really fun (thanks to all the guys who came out for it) ... we went in field.
My friend Nick Sparks from the Social Man was there. I so appreciated him coming to my talk because obviously he doesn't need to learn anything about game. It felt really awesome to have that support in my audience from him :)
Anyway, we went out afterward, and Nick really is just a pleasure to be around. Very sexy, very congruent, very much a gentleman ... tonight we are having more adventures.
In the meantime, I learned that Nick recently wrote a blog article that I recommend everyone read.
It's called "The Honeymoon's Over," and talks about some typical patterns people run into in relationships when their "ideal" image of their partner cracks wide open!
You can read his article here.
What I love most about his article, is that in his own subtle and non-judgmental way of communicating, he explains that the path to ultimate happiness is not to run away when the going gets tough. It's to recognize that uncomfortable feelings are the signal that you are GROWING out of your previous comfort zone and into a new and far more glorious reality.
(Or perhaps that's my gloss on what he said ;).
If you stay with the discomfort until it transforms, your life will be transformed.
If you run away and judge the other person in any way, shape, or form, the opportunity for transformation is lost.
Hint: If you want to become the kind of person who can be unfazed in the face of any situation, the ONLY way that is going to happen is for you to learn how to handle ANY situation. Won't happen if you play ostrich and put your head in the sand. ;)
I've made a personal vow not to run away from any situation anymore. I have come to deeply value and even enjoy when my relationships start to become "difficult." No matter how challenging and uncomfortable the dynamic may become, this is when I know I'm going to have major breakthroughs that take me TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
The next level of fun, intimacy, connection, and personal power.
(It helps immensely to know that I have HBR in my back pocket, cuz nothing feels all that scary to me anymore, knowing the gold I'm about to reap from the situation ...)
Nick and I are going out again tonight, and I'm very excited to spend time with someone who is playing on the same field that I am :)
I am having an absolutely amazing time in NYC. Rachel Stephens (you can see her phenomenally hot photography of women here) did a really fun photo shoot with me today. I personally believe that every woman deserves to treat herself to an experience like this at least once in her life :)
Now looking forward to seeing Rachel's finished product. If you're lucky, perhaps I'll open up and share a few of them :)
Last night after my lair talk, which was really fun (thanks to all the guys who came out for it) ... we went in field.
My friend Nick Sparks from the Social Man was there. I so appreciated him coming to my talk because obviously he doesn't need to learn anything about game. It felt really awesome to have that support in my audience from him :)
Anyway, we went out afterward, and Nick really is just a pleasure to be around. Very sexy, very congruent, very much a gentleman ... tonight we are having more adventures.
In the meantime, I learned that Nick recently wrote a blog article that I recommend everyone read.
It's called "The Honeymoon's Over," and talks about some typical patterns people run into in relationships when their "ideal" image of their partner cracks wide open!
You can read his article here.
What I love most about his article, is that in his own subtle and non-judgmental way of communicating, he explains that the path to ultimate happiness is not to run away when the going gets tough. It's to recognize that uncomfortable feelings are the signal that you are GROWING out of your previous comfort zone and into a new and far more glorious reality.
(Or perhaps that's my gloss on what he said ;).
If you stay with the discomfort until it transforms, your life will be transformed.
If you run away and judge the other person in any way, shape, or form, the opportunity for transformation is lost.
Hint: If you want to become the kind of person who can be unfazed in the face of any situation, the ONLY way that is going to happen is for you to learn how to handle ANY situation. Won't happen if you play ostrich and put your head in the sand. ;)
I've made a personal vow not to run away from any situation anymore. I have come to deeply value and even enjoy when my relationships start to become "difficult." No matter how challenging and uncomfortable the dynamic may become, this is when I know I'm going to have major breakthroughs that take me TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
The next level of fun, intimacy, connection, and personal power.
(It helps immensely to know that I have HBR in my back pocket, cuz nothing feels all that scary to me anymore, knowing the gold I'm about to reap from the situation ...)

Special Guest Appearances for Tonight's Lair Talk - NYC PUAs
Hey everyone,
I do love my life :)
So I'm in NYC now. About to go lingerie shopping in preparation for the photo shoot. Fun! :)
In the meantime, I wanted to remind all New York area PUAs and recovering PUAs about my talk tonight.
Here are the details.
Many guys are looking for the "magic bullet," the magic thing to say or do to get love or approval from a woman. I'm going to be teaching you a system that eliminates the need for magic bullets. Once you've been reconditioned with Holistic Belief Reprogramming, you will always know exactly what to do and say in every situation, without thinking about it.
And this very exciting news ... Rumor has it that my friend Nick Sparks (from the Social Man) and John Keegan (a/k/a Awaken) will be making guest appearances tonight as well.
I met Nick at the 21 Convention last year, and he brought me up on stage during his presentation to be his "sample girl." He generated some pretty hot chemistry, so you won't want to miss his input tonight. I'm very excited to see him again :)
I haven't met Awaken yet, but I hear good things about him, so I look forward to hearing his tips as well.
Sign up NOW for Tonight's presentation at 7:30 pm.
Not yet to be revealed ... it looks like I will also be hanging out with some other awesome NYC Casanovas this weekend ... more on that soon :)
cheers,
Erika
p.s. If you haven't yet signed up for my free 7-day video course, make sure you do that as well by going here.
(We are having technical difficulties with some of the videos at the moment, but not to worry -- we are working on a permanent fix and everything will be made easy for you shortly. :)
I do love my life :)

Dedicated to Daria ... Video for Overcoming Resistance to Change
Hi Blog Friends,
After I launched my new Holistic Belief Reprogramming 7-day Video Course (which you can get at zero cost by going here), several people wrote to me and said they love the course but they are getting "stuck." This stuckness shows up in the form of procrastinating on watching the videos or doing the homework.
They asked me for some help getting unstuck.
This form of stuckness is the number one saboteur of people's self-improvement efforts.
We all have two minds: the ego mind and the Higher Self mind.
The ego mind likes to stay stuck. It does not want its current reality shaken up, no matter how miserable the current reality is, and it is extremely sensitive to threat.
The ego is TERRIFIED OF CHANGE.
When it senses that there is a program on the horizon that WILL ACTUALLY WORK AND PRODUCE RESULTS, like HBR, the ego puts up its strongest defenses.
Fortunately, when used properly, HBR can bypass this stuckness and these ego defenses.
For this purpose, I have created this free video to help you overcome your resistance to change:
However, you must at least take this first step toward having the life of your dreams. You must take responsibility for taking the first step, or NOBODY will be able to help you.
If you won't even follow the instructions for letting go of resistance to change, then you are not ready yet to have the life of your dreams.
Are you ready?
So get the video now, watch it immediately, and be sure to tap along because that's where the benefits will come in.
(Daria, my apologies that the video got cut off at the end. I don't have time right now to re-record it, but it will get you started at least ... feel free to riff off the end of the video and continue your tapping.)
To overcome your resistance to change, listen to the video above.

Condoms revisited
Today I'm going to do something I rarely do on this blog: apologize.
It has come to my attention over the past week or so that an article I posted many months ago has been very misinterpreted.
For those just joining us now, by way of background, I posted a very controversial article expressing my misgivings about condoms.
To be perfectly clear, I was NOT giving anybody advice about whether THEY should use condoms. Anyone who reads this blog (or any other source of information for that matter) MUST take full responsibility for him- or herself and his or her choices. I studiously avoid giving anyone traditional-style advice in part because I am well aware the only way YOU will be successful at whatever it is you are trying to do is to tune in to YOUR intuition (not blindly follow any guru's advice, no matter how well meaning).
It is true that I do not always use condoms, but I also have had relatively few partners in my lifetime (fewer than one per year since I started having sex) and I do not recklessly move forward with anything if intuition cautions me against it. I have been tested for diseases many times and have been blessed with sexual health, including most recently being tested in December.
I am also well aware that my belief system in this area is far "healthier" than many other people's, meaning I don't have a lot of fear, so I tend not to attract negative situations.
Unfortunately, articles are not always received with the intention with which they were written, because the reader always brings to the article his or her own belief system and will read it through that lens.
The fact that people will interpret everything through their own belief system was brought home to me yesterday on Facebook, when I posted the following status update:
many people make the mistake of avoiding people or situations that trigger uncomfortable feelings inside of them ... the most powerful thing is to do the exact opposite, and move toward your discomfort :)
As an example of this, I mentioned that if I'm out and someone is acting obnoxious, instead of writing him off as a jerk, I'll often go over and express my concern, very often leading to him changing his behavior.
One fellow responded as follows:
A lot of people get categorized as jerks but are really nice people. But when you say to go up and tap em on the shoulder... Sorry, I have first hand experience that this can be a VERY VERY BAD idea. Mind you, I AM the kind of guy who always practices the kind of behaviour that you're talking about, but a few years ago I did so to an innocuous individual who I had a very bad feeling aobut but no reason for the bad feeling. A therapist at a party suggested just what you did, and it initiated a year of hell for me and my friends that ended in slander, job loss, date rape a lot of unhappiness. I just lost some friends and consider myself lucky. that innocuous individual turned out to be deeply disturbed and very predatory, and simply reaching out to them was the all they needed.
Granted it's a rare situation, but one should never put one's safety ahead of common sense for the sake of HBR or any other theory or belief.
Immediately, the parallel with my condom article flashed into my mind. Yes, other people HAVE had bad experiences, doing exactly the same things that I do.
I can walk up to someone and confront them about obnoxious behavior without fearing for my safety, whereas some other people cannot.
Why is that?
Because they have a different belief system than I do.
This was my response to Facebook Guy:
I don't advise anyone ever to put themselves in situations that feel physically dangerous. The reason I don't give advice is that every person's belief system is different so Holistic Belief Reprogramming must be custom tailored by each person. With the situation you are describing, there is a huge amount of subconscious fear that is actually attracting dangerous situations. If I were working with someone who had that level of fear, we would clear old traumas, emotions, and beliefs until the fear dissolved, then such situations would no longer be attracted.
There have been many conflicts I worked out privately within myself with HBR before reaching a level of discomfort that was low enough for me to address the person in the real world. The key though is that I did not avoid the discomfort, I addressed it and erased it.
This really got me thinking though. How can I effectively convey what I am trying to convey on this blog without being misinterpreted?
How can I bridge to other people's realities and current belief systems and help them cross over to a "safer" belief system while also acknowledging the current state of un-safety in which they find themselves?
Then this metaphor popped into my head and I added it to the thread:
You know how they say dogs and wild animals can sense fear and will attack?
Same with people. The answer is to erase the fear.
This can only be accomplished by changing your subconscious beliefs about the world.
(Same with diseases, too, folks. There is a physical "cause" in the world, but people with healthy immune systems can be exposed to all kinds of germs without getting sick. What makes people vulnerable to disease are emotional and spiritual weaknesses.)
Look, at the end of the day, I am a pragmatist.
I still employ "defenses." I wear a helmet when I ski. I wear a seatbelt when I drive. I haven't yet canceled my insurance policies. Last month, we used condoms during sex, though I will admit I still felt very ambivalent about it because it allowed us to have sex without first addressing the fears that get covered up by using condoms.
But I use all of those defenses while simultaneously becoming increasingly conscious of the fears that prompt me to use them, and then I use HBR to erase those fears. By erasing the fears, I make it less and less likely that anything "bad" will happen to me.
Indeed, these days when I lose something, even my wallet, it generally gets returned to me with all the money still in it. This is because I have changed my beliefs about the world, and I now attract highly positive outcomes in virtually every area of my life.
Need I even mention, that if you have enough fear, you can wear helmets, seatbelts, and condoms and still get hurt.
So ... follow your inner guidance. If you have fear, do not charge recklessly ahead with anything that feels physically dangerous to you.
But simultaneously, become aware that the FEAR is actually the root of the problem.
Become aware of the beliefs that are supporting those fears, and begin to question those beliefs.
Are those beliefs really true, or are your fears SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECIES?
When you clear out all your fears, your life will be far safer. Mine is.
(No, I don't have time to explain this fully right now, and if you are tempted to argue with me, just remember what everyone already knows to be true: animals can sense fear and will tend to attack in its presence. That same principle applies to everything in life. Your fear will attract attack and negative outcomes. So you must get rid of the fear.)
It IS possible to clear out so much fear that you can walk anywhere in the world, naked, and be safe. But most of us aren't there yet. So use your common sense in the meantime.
And always, always, always, take full responsibility for every choice you make. Never give your power away to ANYONE.
Thanks for reading.
This is my method for erasing fear: http://erikaawakening.com. As I have erased my fears, and changed my belief system, every area of my life has improved. HBR can do the same for you.
This is how, ultimately, you will create the life of your dreams.
