Hay House UK Ltd The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent: Living the Art of Allowing

As I always tell my coaching clients, a book like this is what YOU make of it. So, here are a few pointers from this one which you may find useful: 1. THERE SHOULD BE AN ALIGNMENT BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR INNER BEING. This one is perhaps the most important lesson ever: listening to your inner voice, pausing before opening your mouth or even before taking any action. Really paying attention to your inner voice. Know this, that inner voice of yours never misleads. Unfortunately, we rarely pause to listen to it. 2. SOURCE KNOWS WHAT YOU WANT AND FLOWS WITH IT. So true. When you are aligned with all that’s good and pure, you will feel that life flows oh so naturally. Even challenges become easier to handle. The authors call this kind of living as being led by your “emotional guidance system” which never lets you down. 3. This one is particularly useful at the workplace or in social situations: WHEN YOU ARE WORKING WITH OTHERS, IT SEEMS DIFFICULT TO CHOOSE YOUR OWN THOUGHTS. YOU OBSERVE, LISTEN, PROCESS, AND THEN HAVE A KNEE-JERK REACTION. BUT WHEN YOU ARE AWARE OF YOUR ABILITY TO SIFT THROUGH THOSE EXPERIENCES AND CHOOSE BETTER FEELING PERSPECTIVES, YOU WILL BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND YOUR CREATIVE INVINCIBILITY. IN TIME, YOU WILL KNOW HOW TO STAY ON YOUR OWN DESIRES NO MATTER WHAT’S GOING ON AROUND YOU. AND AS YOU KEEP DOING THIS, YOU WILL ATTRACT MORE OF GOOD FEELING VIBRATIONS. 4. FOR ANYTHING TO MANIFEST IN YOUR LIFE, THERE MUST BE A VIBRATIONAL COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN YOUR DESIRES AND YOUR BELIEFS. This is the toughest for us to follow. Our minds are constantly piling on those fears and doubts, always asking those "what if" questions which stop us from confidently going ahead. But if you can consistently work on strengthening your beliefs, you will find it much easier to realize your dreams. Do it, tell your mind, “Thank you, but I'm not going to live in fear, and I'm not going to doubt the infinite intelligence of the universe. All that is mine by divine right is coming to me now.” An immensely helpful way to achieve this vibrational compatibility between your desires and your beliefs is the use of daily affirmations. Over time you will become quite the expert at guiding your thoughts towards faith and positivity, and that, my friends, is a great place to live from. To get you started, here’s one affirmation: “I give thanks for all that is good in my life.” If you haven’t experienced it already, just wait and see how this daily practice of gratitude changes your life! The authors have provided detailed instructions on how to handle any situation in life by using the power of deliberate intent, from managing money to relationships and everything else inbetween. These practical solutions should be helpful in tackling our everyday issues with confidence and ease. FINALLY, please forget about those cliches we have been taught since childhood. Believe this instead: NOTHING IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. NOTHING IS TOO WONDERFUL TO HAPPEN. NOTHING IS TOO GOOD TO LAST. This is not from this book but from Your Word is Your Wand by Florence Scovel Shinn. But what a magnificent way to think, right? So please start leading your fabulous life TODAY. Keep a gratitude journal, do the three good things exercise (all these are easily explained online), and live your best life ever. Thank you very much for reading, and God bless.

この本の訳書『「引き寄せの法則」のアメージングパワー』（エスター&ジェリー・ヒックス、秋津一夫訳 ナチュラルスピリット）を愛読しています。しかし、ヒックス夫妻のほかの訳本に比べて訳語が固めなのと（よく読めば意図はつかめますが）、他の本のもっとかみ砕いた訳語と一致していないことに、つまずきを感じました。 たとえば「感情の誘導システム」「感情による誘導の階層」という言葉がよく出てきますが、最初、それだけではわかりにくく、他の本の「感情によるナビゲーションシステム」という訳語を読んで、やっと腑に落ちました。感情（いま良い気分か悪い気分か）によって、自分がどんな状態（段階）にあるか判定できる、というものです。 本書で調べた原語は、Emotional Guidance System （あるいはScale）です。 中でも、この原書を購入した一番大きな理由は、「３５章 「だったらよくない？」という方法」という訳語でした。「だったらよくない？」ってどういうことだろうか。「なぜ、そうしないのか」（why not?）と、積極的に勧めているのでしょうか。それとも？ なんだか、ニュアンスがよくつかめなかったので、原書を見たくなり購入。この部分の原語は Applyng the Wouldn't -It-Be-Nice-if……? Process でした。たしかに「もし……であったら、良いかもしれないんじゃない？」くらいなので、訳語はまちがいではないのですが、 「……してみたら、どうかしら」という控えめな第一歩の踏みだし、というニュアンスは、原書でなければわかりませんでした。 また、ほかにも「○○（仕事、人間関係 など）についての波動の相関性」という項目が、あちこちに出てきますが、原語は「Vibrational Relativity about」ですので、「○○と波動の関わり」「○○と波動の相互関係」というようなほぐし方をしてもらえれば、もっとすっと入ってきたと思います。 訳書は誤りではないのですが、初めてこの著者の世界観に触れようとする読者には、こうした点でもう少し気遣いがほしいと感じました。 これまでに数冊、他訳者の「引き寄せの法則」関連の本を読んでいたので何が言いたいのか、理解できないではなかったのですが、本書に関しては、原書をかたわらに置くとはるかにわかりやすいと思いました。 （なおヒックス夫妻の本の訳者としては、吉田利子さんのものがもっとも、心を遣ってかみくだいている名訳だと思います） もちろんこの本自体がきわめて丁寧に「引き寄せ」のさまざまな局面にそった説明を展開していることは言うまでもありませんし、英文がたいへんやさしく、肌身にそって語りかけるようです。英語に抵抗がなければ、始めから訳書でなく、こちらを購入したらよいかと思います。
