A common misunderstanding surrounding the law of attraction is the belief that merely recognizing its existence allows you to select a reality that will effortlessly materialize.
This scenario may occur occasionally, but it’s quite rare. Typically, we must actively strive to bring our desires into existence. While it isn’t overly challenging, it does necessitate being aware of the energy you emit.
I’d like to share a story that vividly exemplifies the essence of creation. Em was part of our team at Inner Art Inc. A few years ago, she traveled to London to introduce The Map to new age bookstores.
To provide some context, Em discovered The Map not long ago, and it profoundly transformed her life, prompting her to connect with me. As a result, she created an opportunity to collaborate on promoting The Map to individuals eager to embark on the journey of crafting a fulfilling life.
If you’re struggling to see your dreams come to life, take a look at this letter she sent me recently after spending a few weeks in London:
__________________________________________________
Hello Boni!
I hope everything is going well for you. We’re really enjoying our time in London. My clothes feel a bit tighter, and my skin has become paler… but we’re really happy here!
I wanted to update you on my journey and, as always, share a little creation story with you.
As you know, I’m incredibly enthusiastic about promoting The Map. I passionately envision its success—seeing it displayed on billboards, television, and in every bookstore throughout the UK (and globally). I dream of it changing how millions perceive their lives and each other. The prospect of being a vital part of that transformation energizes me…and I’m confident I’m on the right path to creation. I channel energy towards those visions every single day.
However, I noticed an unusual hesitation when it came to visiting bookstores. I caught myself thinking things like, “It’s pouring today, so I’ll postpone my visit,” or, “I’ll wait for a quieter time on the Tube,” etc. It struck me as peculiar that I lacked enthusiasm for these visits.
I struggled to understand the reason for this feeling. I had been channeling energy toward my aspirations, believing my thoughts were optimistic. Confused, I turned to my oracle cards, as they always provide me with remarkable insights.
I held the cards close and asked, “I intend to bring The Map to the UK where it can be found in every bookstore, experiencing complete success and selling beyond our expectations. In what way am I resisting or obstructing this intention?” The eerily precise response I received was:
‘You might be feeling blocked with your personal intentions. Right now, achieving self-mastery and discipline may prove challenging, or your specific plans for personal transformation might be hindered. Ensure that your intentions are clear and free of conflict. Whatever you pursue, remember that you have the ability to succeed—and you are worthy of it. Dedicate yourself to the goals and changes you seek and recognize that you are deserving of the time and effort you put forth. The fresh start you seek will come from your own focus and patient persistence.’
This message puzzled me because I thought my intentions were already ‘clear and unconflicted.’ However, after some reflection on the resistance I felt, I realized I had been harboring thoughts like, ‘These bookstores must receive countless visits from authors,’ or, ‘The owner won’t have time to chat since the shop is so busy,’ or, ‘I don’t have much knowledge of the book industry; I’ll come off as foolish,’ or, ‘I don’t want to seem pushy like a salesperson,’ and buried beneath that was a nagging belief of ‘I’m not good enough to make this happen.’
These were merely unproductive nagging thoughts that I never noticed until I took time to acknowledge them. As I reflected, I became aware that my mindset was likely more pessimistic than encouraging. This realization shocked me since, on a conscious level, I was entirely certain of my dreams. It was fascinating…
Unable to pinpoint the exact beliefs behind this resistance, I decided to approach your belief-changing meditation with a new perspective. I entered the ‘beliefs room’ with my subconscious guides and higher self. This time, I simply expressed my intention and requested the guides to identify any belief obstructing my intention from manifesting in reality.
They began to extract a few pages from my belief book, although I couldn’t see the specific beliefs… yet they had my consent to remove them as long as it aligned with my highest good. I found myself yawning, with tears streaming down my face (a classic sign of energy shift)! I felt substantially different afterward. I realized that I had been TRYING to get books into stores instead of simply MAKING it happen. That shift was incredibly tangible.
Just an hour later, I found myself in my first bookstore—Watkins Books. This esoteric bookstore has been around for over a century, known as the largest in London, replete with historical charm from its worn bookshelves and creaky floorboards. It’s absolutely beautiful. With tarot card readings in one corner, every crystal imaginable in another, and two expansive floors filled with fascinating works on all things new age and esoteric, I was in my element. I inquired about speaking with the manager/owner. Someone went to fetch him. Moments later, we embraced after he expressed his eagerness to stock The Map in his shop (they already order from New Leaf)! They also have a wonderful online shop. Ecstatic! I felt like I was floating!
Next, I revisited a bookstore (Mysteries) I had frequented before because I wanted to buy a crystal. While inside, I heard someone call out, ‘Branca.’ I recognized Branca as the owner (she was on holiday during my last visit). I asked if I could chat with her, and she confirmed that as long as she enjoyed the book, she would also like to stock it!!! She gave me another warm hug! Joyful again!
Then I visited another incredible shop (The Astrology Shop). A magical, beautiful place located in a stunning area of London. It felt reminiscent of the wizard shop in Harry Potter. Once again, I spoke with the owner, and he enthusiastically agreed to stock the book. He even offered to assist me in getting it distributed throughout the UK! He said he’d make a few calls on my behalf.
This entire experience taught me so much. Everything became effortless once I scrutinized my thoughts and beliefs more thoroughly. I got to speak with the managers in all three shops (a feat I had not achieved before), and they all wanted to carry The Map while offering valuable distribution advice.
I followed up with all of them via email this morning. I can hardly wait to return to the shops in a few weeks and see The Map on display!! 🙂
What a fantastic lesson in ease, grace, and flow.
I hope this email wasn’t too lengthy. I tend to get a bit enthusiastic when I’m excited!
Warmest wishes,
Em xxx

Isn’t Em’s tale inspiring? She serves as compelling evidence that you can uncover the root of your lack of motivation or negativity regarding any aspect of your aspirations. You have the power to transform what needs changing within.
And then, you can bring your desires into reality.
Yet again—you can bring your desires into reality.
That’s what it ultimately boils down to, isn’t it?
Those inner voices often sabotage our dreams. Don’t let that happen. Learn how to engage with your ‘negative self’ and reclaim your power.
You are worthy of a life you cherish.
With much affection,
