“I don’t get it. I mean, it’s just amazing to me! It’s like every time she thinks about what she wants, it shows up.” With an emotional exclamation, Mary asked, “How do you do that?”
The question that Maria was asking has been asked by so many and so often. It just seems that some people have the gift of manifestation. They can imagine what they want and it appears. What they have is not magic or illusion, but they understand and use the Law of Attraction.
So what is this – Law of Attraction? Simply put, the Law of Attraction is like the Law of Gravity. It is one of the Universal or Natural Laws of this Universe. Working with mathematical certainty, the Law of Attraction is energy in motion.
With a bit of indignation, Mary replied, “Okay, this concept of energy in motion, how does it work? I understand gravity. You take an egg, drop it on a counter, and it will crack (unless it’s hard, of course). ). ). ). But, energy in motion, I just don’t see? Explain, please! Because ‘energy in motion’ I don’t understand.”
The Law of Attraction, like gravity, works in definite ways, which is why we call it Universal or Natural Law. The main principle is: whatever you are consciously or unconsciously focusing on in your life, you will attract. In other words, what you think you will receive. The more passionately you think about anything, the more you will attract. Therefore, your inner world defines your outer physical experience.
Think about your first comments. You said, “It’s like every time she thinks about what she wants, she shows up.” That is the Law of Attraction in action. The person you were thinking of understands, consciously or unconsciously, how to use this powerful law.
Expectation is a part of this attractive force. What you hope for in life, through the Law of Attraction, is drawn to you. If you focus on paying the bills, you will always have bills to pay. If you focus on not having enough money, you won’t have enough money. In the example she mentioned at the beginning, the lady she was referring to must have expected to receive, and she did! The key is to wait for the things you really want and not to wait for what you don’t want.
An important point to consider: the Law of Attraction does not discriminate. It will give you exactly what you think. So if you want something better, you have to change your thinking. Now let me share five simple ways to make the Law of Attraction work for you.
1. Think about what you want. See it in your mind’s eye. Be clear about your intention. This is a critical step. Too often, people say they want one thing and then think of another. It’s not what you say you want that will attract you… it’s what you really think that determines the outcome. “Everything we are is the result of what we have thought.” Buddha.
2. Take some time and ask yourself, honestly, how you feel about what you have asked or wanted. Go inside yourself and see if you feel it is possible. Write your thoughts about it. Talk to a friend and have them listen carefully and watch and take note of what you say. Are you sabotaging your own desire? Do you want what you want, enough to change your behavior? James Ray (http://www.jamesray.com) in the book ‘The Secret’ states: “When you look at our current state of affairs and define yourself by that, then you condemn yourself to nothing but the same for you”. Your future.”
3. Create a visual image of your intention. Most of us want what we believe exists, so creating a visual representation of what we want helps us stay focused on the desire. A simple example of this step in action relates to attracting money. People at the end of my seminars will often ask how to generate the income they want. The easiest way to create the visual image of what you want is to take the previous year’s income statement (in the US it’s a W-2 form), delete the income numbers there, and re-insert the income numbers. income you want. Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul tells the story of using this visualization process. Needless to say, it worked for him and it can work for you too.
4. Take action. The universe does not know time. Everything is now. But in the world we live in (human existence is linear) we must take steps to achieve what we want. Remember that it takes one step at a time to climb a mountain. In my experience, you can’t deeply desire something, do nothing, and wait for it to show up. The first three steps are mental. This step is physical. If I want to run a marathon and I’m not physically prepared, I must prepare myself. The act of preparing or taking action is putting the Law of Attraction into action. Gravity exists, but to see it demonstrated requires some action. The same goes for the Law of Attraction: action creates action.
5. Lastly, feel what you want as if it were here. While this is a challenge for many, most successful people say that once they’ve made a decision…they feel the same way they would if they had what they wanted. Whether it’s Esther and Jerry Hicks, authors of The Law of Attraction (http://www.abraham-hicks.com) or the many contributors to Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret (http://www.thesecret. tv), they all say the same thing, imagine what you want in your mind, feel it and trust that you have it NOW! The feeling that it exists is key to the actual manifestation of what you really want.
The above five steps, followed consistently, will dramatically improve the power and speed at which you apply the Law of Attraction.
Let me share a simple, yet profound story. My wife and I participate in a program called “Masterminding.” When two or more people hold in consciousness a result or each other’s desire, power increases through the “mastermind.” As the New Year dawned, we looked at our wishes and noticed something profound. One thing we had on our Mastermind list was paying off our credit cards. But, reading that statement from a different perspective, we both realized that “pay off” meant we had debt and therefore allowed the Law of Attraction to make sure that we had “debt to pay off.”
As you can imagine, we immediately changed that. We replaced our old wish with the following statement from Mastermind: “Money and abundance flow easily and effortlessly into our lives.” That night we did our Mastermind session where we read aloud what we wanted. The next day, I received a call from my mother saying that my wife and I would each receive a check. For fiscal and patrimonial reasons, he needed to make two donations.
Now, attracting money “easily and effortlessly” is a much easier way to reduce debt or attract what you want than to keep our previous desire in consciousness. When actions like this happen, it only reinforces the power of the Law of Attraction.
So, apart from reading this article, how can people get a better understanding of the Law of Attraction? My “Make It Happen” seminar focuses almost entirely on the methods and benefits of the Law of Attraction.
