Transformational Breathing and the Law of Attraction
Keith Tennent asked:
Many people who are familiar with the Law of Attraction have heard of it through a short informational film called The Secret, which was later turned into a book. Both benefited from endorsement by high profile celebrities. In sum, the Law of Attraction states that the more you think about something, consciously or otherwise, the more likely it is to come true. You “attract” specific outcomes with the power of your mental and emotional focus, whether or not these are desirable outcomes. Therefore, knowing exactly what you want and concentrating on that particular thing is likely to bring about a desirable outcome. Worrying constantly about something you fear will work like a self-fulfilling prophecy, demonstrating the dark side of this Law.
At first glance, the Law of Attraction seems rather abstract-firstly, in the sense of being highly theoretical and difficult to prove, and secondly, in the sense of being an almost entirely mental process, dissociated from concrete action. The first meaning is difficult to argue for or against. It is much easier to discuss the second idea, that of the Law of Attraction being entirely a matter of the mind.
Many people who spend a great deal of time meditating or praying know that mental or spiritual focus has a lot to do with the body. We often think of prayer or meditation as trying to be “free” of the body, but paradoxically, the body can help the mind and soul to reach higher levels. This is why prayers are often done in special positions. Roman Catholics kneel, and Sufi dervishes do their whirling dances.
This is where transformational breathing comes in. Quite obviously, concentration plays a big part in the Law of Attraction. Mental focus can be useful so that you can keep thinking about what you want to have or achieve, instead of getting distracted by your problems. After all, according to the Law of Attraction, you ought to get the best results if you avoid focusing on pessimistic thoughts. Studies demonstrate a relationship between breathing and the ability to concentrate. Modern science supports what mystics have known for centuries. This should not be a surprise. The brain requires a great deal of oxygen, after all. In fact, it uses more oxygen than any organ in the body.
Routines (such as yogic breathing exercises) that optimize your breathing will be great for your concentration. You might be rather surprised at the results, in fact. Many people assume that they know how to breathe properly. (Not without reason. The fact that they are still alive means they can’t be doing it completely wrong.) Still, it is possible to go through your life thinking you are breathing correctly, when your cells are actually getting less oxygen than they should, and are also having to deal with carbon dioxide that has built up instead of being expelled properly. If you are one of these people, breathing exercises are not just calming, they can also be called transformational breathing, if they can help you change the direction of your life by helping you get the best out of the Law of Attraction.

Does the "Law of Attraction" Work When Trying to Get Pregnant?
L Morse asked:
Oprah thinks so.
She’s had several of the people featured in “The Secret” on her show.
So has Larry King.
It’s pretty hard to not notice the attention “The Secret” has been getting in the last months.
What is all the hype?
It’s all about the “Law of Attraction”, an age-old Universal Principle that determines what is or isn’t in our life.
How does it work?
That’s the secret everyone is talking about.
What does this have to doing with trying to conceive?
Well, for someone who has been seeking fertility and it hasn’t happened yet, the news is good.
If you are a woman trying to get pregnant you may not even realize that you’re activating the Law of Attraction all the time.
If you are not activating this Universal Law in your favor, then infertility may be what you are facing.
That is the simple version.
Here are a few things to ask yourself:
If you have more worry, doubt and fear about getting pregnant; or find it hard to trust that you will be able to get pregnant and birth a healthy baby, then you have infertility active in your system.
If you feel greater amounts of despair when you start your monthly menstrual cycle, then you have infertility active in your system.
If you’ve failed IUI’s, IVF’s or have had miscarriages; or feel like you’ve exhausted your options in conceiving, then infertility is dominate and active in your system.
If your marriage or partnership has become strained as a result of you trying to conceive, then infertility is active in your system.
If you’ve been told that you have PCOS, poor egg quality, or that you are too old; and thus feel determined that you’re doomed, then infertility is dominate and active in your system.
I could go on, but I think you get it. Here is my point.
You MUST turn infertility off, in your system.
And then turn fertility on (physically, mentally, and emotionally).
Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could just turn fertility on like a light switch? Well that’s what I’m talking about here.
I believe it’s time to turn on your fertility. Are you with me so far?
Experience has shown that a woman diagnosed with “infertility,” focuses on infertility.
The problem with focusing on infertility is that the Universal Law of Attraction teaches that what we focus on becomes evident in our reality, every time.
Therefore, focusing on infertility activates infertility in the system.
This is science, not fluff.
This is what everyone is talking about, including Oprah.
It doesn’t matter which conceptions methods are being used…IVF (in vitro fertilization), IUI (artificial insemination), Clomid, or natural conception methods, — individually or in combination.
It doesn’t matter if a woman has had one or more miscarriages.
It doesn’t matter if she’s been trying to conceive for 6 months or 6 years.
What matters is that there are very specific things she can do to set the Law of Attraction in motion to work in her favor and get pregnant.
“I started to realize that being in alignment with the Law of Attraction isn’t a luxury, but a necessity. Your book put me back on the path of my intention and now I’m pregnant!”
Let’s use a garden analogy and break this down into several steps. If you were going to plant a 6×6 raised garden bed, most likely you would do the following:
1)You would assess the soil and add deficient nutrients into the soil. This is analogous to the health of your own inner (physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual) terrain.
2)You would pull out all the weeds. This would be the step analogous to noticing the focus on infertility.
3)With healthy soil and the weeds pulled, you would then plant your seeds. This part is your intention to getting pregnant and birthing a healthy baby.
4)Then you would water at regular intervals, ensuring that weeds stayed pulled. Meanwhile the sun, soil and water are causing the seeds to sprout and grow. This is the part of Law of Attraction that can sometimes be the hardest. Keeping the weeds pulled (focus on infertility) and the plot watered (focus on fertility).
This is how life grows, we as humans are no exception to this rule.
This Law of Attraction step is vital in optimizing the chances of getting pregnant.

Yoga in Practice – The Law of Attraction
Paul Jerard asked:
How does Yoga relate to the “Law of Attraction?” We often hear about the universal concept of attraction, but how many of us are aware of it as it happens throughout the day? Let’s take a closer look at our Yoga practice and how we influence the world around us with our thoughts.
Most people feel that actions and words are all that counts. If they think negative thoughts, they assume there will be no repercussions. Yet, negative thoughts create pessimism and influence the outcome of daily situations, for the worst.
If we worry about something long enough, we can influence the end result for the worst. The exact opposite can be said for positive thoughts. Sometimes, the eternal optimist is oblivious of anything, but a good outcome. We must control what we think at all times. Below are a few methods, which can change your life for the best.
Start your morning with a smile, meditate, and give thanks for the blessing of each day. Appreciate the sounds of your family, a bird’s song, and the steady noise of daily life. Never be the person who complains about the weather. This is an imperfect world, but there is still so much to appreciate.
Create a positive affirmation of your own. This is similar to mantra, but much different. If you feel stressed out, you should think, “I look for and find solutions within stressful situations.” This may seem very simplistic and a bit silly to some.
Yet, how many people react to stressful situations with headaches, rapid heartbeat, muscle tension, chest pain, backaches, insomnia, and more ailments? When stress makes you ill, it is unlikely that you will find solutions during a crisis.
Mantra is also valuable, because you block the external signals of stress, with internal sounds of peace. However, if you are in a social environment, a self-created positive affirmation, in your native language, may help you to create a solution to a cycle of stress.
Almost every form of Yoga practices mantra and positive affirmation. If you practice these Yogic methods regularly, you can quell pessimism from within. This is only half of the solution. The other half is to permanently instill positive energy within your mind.
In your free time, meditate on positive feelings. Get to know which images, in your mind, create happiness. It could be God, a spiritual center, a loved one, a pet, your favorite vacation spot, or a beloved teacher.
Regardless of what makes you happy, learn to envision it at any time, and summon into action, all the happiness that comes with it. Kindness and happiness is how a Yoga practitioner can master the power of attraction.
