Scrapbooking

“Find something that will help you focus on what you want,” said Liz Pagayonan, positive thought leader, hypnotist, international speaker, writer and scrapbooking expert. “The Mind, Body and Soul Show,” with host Coach Steve Toth, featured Liz, who offers support to people interested in creating more satisfaction and happiness in their lives. Scrapbooking, and other artistic endeavors, are among the tools Liz uses to teach her students.
According to Liz, scrapbooking is a form of hypnosis because art creates joy and joy is a natural state of hypnosis. “Whatever I put my focus on is what I will create,” she said, “scrapbooking is all about how I feel. It represents the thoughts I want to program into my brain.” The focus necessary for scrapbooking (and other forms of art) helps attract what is desired and distracts people from thinking about what is not desired, which activates the Law of Attraction.

Everything operates according to laws. Liz described the Law of Attraction. It begins with a thought. Thoughts are seeds. If we plant Crabapples we won’t get Golden Delicious apples. “You can think, ’I’m a millionaire.’ Then you have to feel it… you feel so abundant on the inside,” she said, “you have a thought, grow it and have inspired action. Take action every day, even if it’s only three steps.”

Liz approaches scrapbooking as a fun meditation that transforms outdated thought patterns. Using the colors of the chakras, the power centers on the body, as a basis for scrapbook art creates harmony. “Prolonged focus allows you to go to the depth of your being -- to the cellular level.” As the subconscious rules 85% of a person’s day, intentional scrapbooking meditation improves that subconscious programming one thought at a time.

“What I love about scrapbooking is that I can come back to it. I can leave it and still create my vision,” Liz said. Other forms of art, such as oil painting isn’t as interruption-friendly, nor does it provide the family fun. “In scrapbooking everything is intentional -- the colors, the pictures, capturing the essence and the emotion.”

Scrapbooking is family fun, too. Everyone can do it. It helps knowing who we are. “By helping ourselves, we can show others a new way,” she said. “When I help people, they are thankful. That thankfulness expands my heart. “We can change the world by working on ourselves. What attracts me is to see someone living in their passion,” she said. And for the men, who might not be interested in scrapbooking, Liz teaches journaling. She said that writing requires the most focus of anything. It’s that intentional focus that creates the changes desired… that intent to expand joy for a more positive life.
