postheadericon Law of Attraction-The Secret of Visualizing Having More Money, Slimmer Body And Confidence

Karen Lim asked:




In my previous article, I wrote about how you can generate positive energy vibration by creating your vision board.

People often wonder how they can achieve sustainable weight loss, having more money and speak in public without fear. This article (part 2) shows you how you can use visualization to generate positive energy to tackle these common challenges.

(1) Visualize Being Slimmer

For many years, you felt overweight and have always wanted to be slimmer. Your tried slimming centers and crash diets. Although these methods gave you instant results, you faced the issue of putting back twice the weight you initially lost.

Consider incorporating visualization to help you achieve sustainable results as it aims to change your subconscious mind and ultimately your habits.

Visualize yourself 10 to 20 pounds lighter. You look and feel light. You have a beautiful body. The feeling is great.

Picture yourself getting up each morning and looking at the weighing scale. It now reads 10 to 20 lighter than what you are currently. You feel lighter, just like a feather.

What you will notice is your mind constantly reminds you of the great feelings of being lighter. When your mind is filled with the positive energy, you will find motivation to take actions towards your dream. You need not introduce drastic change such as skipping a meal. Rather, the change should be manageable and sustainable. You may start skipping suppers, sweet food, chocolate, incorporate brisk walking and you see your body becoming lighter each day.

(2) Visualize Having More Money

Money is a subject, which people often debate about. People say money cannot buy happiness and we should be grateful for the things we already have in life.

Yet everything we do requires money. You need to have money if you want to buy a new dress or treat your family to dinner. I agree money is not everything, but everything requires money. So what not be upfront and declare to the universe that you want more money.

So how do you visualize having more money? I will recommend that you first visualize money loves you. Money is naturally attracted to you like a magnet. You deserve more money as you have rendered tremendous value to people through your products, services etc.

Holding money in your hand is so comfortable and warm. You know you can put this money to great use via charity, self-improvement so that you can continuously provide greater value to others.

I want you to picture that you are absolutely comfortable and confident in making money from people whom you serve. You must feel you deserve money. Sticking pictures of dollar notes on the vision board, yet feeling you don’t deserve the money will not help in your manifestation.

You probably have met people whom have attracted money but in the end money flows out quickly too. Their mind is not condition to retain the money. Yes, they have asked for more money, yet by feeling not deserving the money only results in them not ready to receive their wealth.

(3) Visualize Ability to Speak In Public

Picture yourself on stage, relaxed and speaking confidently. Your hand gestures are natural. See the positive facial expression from your audience. They are captivated by your speech. Feel total confidence and relaxation.

The skills of visualization will serve you well. As you generate sustainable positive energy vibration, your mind will attract creative thoughts to open you to more opportunities.

Just as the teachers in The Secret say you do not need to know how to go about to achieve what you want. A way will be shown to you!

postheadericon Law of Attraction and Writing Your Mission and Vision Statement

Beverly Boston asked:




Lately, we have been hearing more and more about vision and mission statements for businesses. I sometimes treat myself to Starbucks for coffee. Their mission statement is proudly displayed for everyone to see. This lets you know exactly what their commitment is and their level of involvement with their mission. And, we can find more and more companies following the Starbucks example.
As a coach, I find that people burn out more from a lack of purpose than from a lack of energy. People are often asking themselves, “Why are we here?” and, “What are we trying to do?”

A client of mine ran a large printing business. She asked me how to write a mission statement using the Law of Attraction. I asked her about the company that she owned and about the issues she faced. She told me that four people on her team had written out a mission statement. They had inserted a couple of values into the mission statement that they insisted that their employees follow.

After creating the mission statement, they posted it everywhere in the office. One of the primary values in the statement was respect. They wanted their employees to respect their clients, vendors, and coworkers. However, one of the executives who helped write the statement believed in management by intimidation-he yelled at the staff during meetings, sometimes yelled at clients, and was extremely rude to vendors.

None of the employees believed in the mission statement. They reasoned that if respect was truly part of the mission, this executive would not be allowed to behave in such a disrespectful way.

Can you start to understand what happened? This executive was attracting more and more disrespect. And as a result, the entire team attracted more and more disrespect and lacked harmony. Their mission statement could not serve its purpose, which was to unite the team through common goals and values. A mission statement needs to be put into use for it to work.

The entire team needed to walk the talk if they wanted to attract respect and harmony into the company. If they didn’t, they would simply attract more of the same. Not writing the mission statement would have been better than writing it, if they had no intention of following it. Otherwise, writing a mission statement can create more harm than good.

I suggested to my client that if the entire team was willing to commit to the principles and standards they had written, they would attract much more than just respect-they would not be able to imagine how many wonderful opportunities and situations they would attract. When applying the Law of Attraction principles, you attract more of what you are thinking and feeling-in any situation.

I suggested that she sit down and ask her executives a few deeper questions that would help them attract respect, as well as more success, happier employees, and repeat and referral business. Here are the questions that I suggested she ask her team:

o What are their top priorities?
o What are you here to accomplish?
o Why is the team/department important?
o What make us great?
o What makes us unique?
o What is our greatest contribution to the world/customer/company?
o What do our customers really want from us?
o What do you like about our company?
o In what way are your interests not represented?
o Considering the input, what do you think is our mission?
o How can we rank these missions?
o Which of these missions is of the highest priority?
o What would make our mission statement more relevant for you?

They sat down and created a lengthy list of what they did not want in their business. Then, they created an even lengthier list of what they did want in their business using their answers to the questions above. With that, they created a new mission statement using the Law of Attraction to bring to their workplace the kind of values that everyone would enjoy. They became excited over the possibilities for their company and now understood how they had attracted what they were. Creating this new list of values that they wanted to represent opened their minds and their eyes.

Things are really rocking there now. Everyone is happy and it shows. How do I know this? Sick time has dropped by 26% and the company is looking forward to a very prosperous year!

Are you walking your talk with your mission and vision statement? What are you attracting?

postheadericon Empowering the Law of Attraction

Nancy Stremmel asked:



When you are focused on the dream that is closest to your heart, you will be in love with life. This will raise your vibrational frequency to one that makes manifesting easy.

What Are the Problems with Manifesting?

The Law of Attraction formula is:

(Belief + Vision)Passion = Manifestation

Often we think of something we want, such as a car or a home, or a new job and visualize that. This is very low level as far as the Law of Attraction is concerned, and it’s hard to maintain a clear vision and high level of passion. We also then start to work on the process or the means of achieving the desire, and this is better left to the Universe/Creator because the One always knows the best way to provide our desire.

These specific desires also run into two problems:

Attachment — Attachment to any specific desire, home or job or automobile is always a problem. It’s never been clear to me why this is the case, except that it has always worked better to be more open to the gifts from the Universe. The old expression, “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth” holds here. The question here, is why the masters keep telling us to be as specific as possible when attachment works against us.

Belief — This is always the sticking point and is particularly so when we have a physical item in mind. We learned as a child that “there is no magic wand” and so it’s very hard to believe that we can manifest whatever we want. The longer it takes, the more doubt creeps in to our thinking.

Manifest Your Dream Instead of any Thing

This is the art of allowing. Business coaches and Anthony Robbins will tell you to find the dream that “starts your engine.” This would be your heart’s desire. When you are focused on the achievement of your heart’s or soul’s desire, you will be unstoppable.

If you’ve ever been in love, you may have noticed that time stands still and you seem to have more luck than at any other time. There is a reason. When you are in love, you are operating at a high vibration and can more effectively manifest whatever you desire. Each time your dream comes true your belief level is increased.

Finding your soul’s desire is similar. When you are focused on the dream that is closest to your heart, you will be in love with life. Everything that you do toward this end will raise your energetic signature and improve your ability to manifest. This is when it will be easy to manifest the house or the car or the job.

This is the key to the Law of Attraction. Any mistakes will be obliterated once you are on your true life path.

postheadericon Law of Attraction and Relationships

Jeannette Maw asked:




Relationships are the crux of life. Everything we think, say or do occurs in the context of relationship, whether it’s with a love interest, family member, colleague, neighbor, higher power, self, or nature in general. Mastering the art of relationship allows for a life that thrives in all areas.

Many don’t realize their power to create a new or transform an existing relationship using the Law of Attraction. For those not familiar with this law, simply put, it’s a Universal principle dictating that “like attracts like.” Everything in the Universe is made of energy; energy vibrates, and those vibrations attract like vibrations. As you vibrate, you attract.

Accordingly, everything you experience is something you attracted in accordance with your vibration. (Your vibe is composed of your feelings, driven by your thoughts.) In fact, your entire world is a reflection of what you vibrate. In order to change what’s happening on the outside (love life, career, health, enjoyment of the world overall), you change the inside; that is, change your vibe.

Who Are You Attracting?

My 41 year old sister-in-law, whom I love dearly, has a habit of being neglected and hastily dumped by each man she dates. (Fourteen times in a year and a half since her divorce.) Yet she’s an attractive, loving, generous woman! Is she an innocent victim of a daft male population (her theory) or is she attracting relationships in perfect alignment with her vibration (smart money bet)?

You may have seen her routine before: she approaches each new love interest with a subconscious fear and assumption that he won’t like her once he knows her. Even before their first date, she’s braced for rejection. And guess what happens? She feels rejected, over and over again.

She gets what she vibrates.

A girlfriend just started her third job in the two years we’ve known each other. At each company she finds herself on the defensive of an irrational employer who doesn’t respect her. Already in the first three weeks of her new position she’s experiencing the same pattern with her new boss. Coincidence? Not so much.

When he moved in with me, Verrall left a neighborhood where he was good friends with everyone on the block. Within two months he had closer relationships with my neighbors than I did, and they quickly became some of his favorite people. When he later moved into his own place, within a few days he was on a first name basis with a half dozen new neighbors. To this day, former and current neighbors treat him like gold. His consistent “neighbor love” vibe suits him well.

It’s All About You

Your relationships (or lack of them) are a reflection of what you think and feel (i.e. vibrate). Specifically, the people in your life mirror what you’ve got going on internally. Which makes you responsible for what you experience in others. If you have a relationship you’d like to transform, it starts with you – and what you’re vibrating.

Remember that like attracts like, so when we change what we think and feel, the people in our lives must reflect that change. Undoubtedly you’ve seen this phenomenon in effect before: you expect someone to react negatively and they do. You worry someone will be late and they are. You trust someone to deliver, and they do. You doubt they will, and they don’t. People live up to and down to our expectations all day long.

So if your husband doesn’t romance you the way you prefer, a supervisor or co-worker makes your job a living hell, or a family member creates havoc in your life – the solution isn’t figuring out how to get them to change or go away. The solution lies in changing what you vibrate. Until you change what you’re vibrating, you’ll experience the same things with others in your life.

The Power of Changing Your Vibe

What are you feeling when your roommate finishes the last drink or runs a load of hot laundry as you start a shower? Irritated, maybe resentful? In that moment, and every other moment you dwell on it, you’re vibrating irritation and resentment. As you vibrate irritation, you’re attracting more experiences to irritate you. She gets a parking ticket in your car, comes up short on rent payment, invites her boyfriend to stay over. The Universe is amazingly creative in delivering situations to match what you vibrate.

How do you get your roommate to stop irritating you? Remember it’s not about her; this is your vibration attracting your experiences, situations and circumstances. She can’t show up as irritating if you aren’t vibrating it. So release the feeling of “irritated.” You take your attention off what’s irritating, and focus on something that feels better. (Easier said than done, I know.)

As you redirect your attention, you change your vibration. Instead of getting caught up in what you don’t like about what she’s doing, what do you like? What do you want? Hold that in mind. As you think about what you like about her and/or what you want from her, you’re vibrating appreciation and the Universe responds to that by bringing you more things to appreciate.

(There’s another way to release the “irritation” vibe as well. Choose to feel differently. Your feelings are a choice, you know. Most of us don’t exercise that choice, but it is a powerful way to transform a relationship.)

If instead of getting upset when my date arrives late, I redirect thoughts to appreciate that he’s driving, that he’s willing to pick me up even though it’s out of his way. I remember that he’s worth waiting for, and that my clock is probably fast anyway. As I do that, I create a completely different vibration which allows for a completely different date. Maybe he arrives on time in the future, or if not, I’m not as bothered by it.

When you catch yourself with an irritating thought about your roommate, remember what you appreciate. Maybe she’s gifted with a sense of humor that always makes you laugh, supports you by working out together, or makes great coffee.

Once you learn to consistently redirect your attention to what you like, you’ll find your feelings about this person improving significantly. From that place it’s much easier to elicit behavior that suits you by focusing on what you want instead of what bothers you.

Who’s In Charge Here?

Does this mean you can change the way a person behaves toward you simply by changing the way you think about them? Well, see for yourself. Whether it’s their behavior that changes towards you, your response to it, or that they make an exit from your world – when you change what you’re feeling inside, the people around you must to reflect it.

This is why some relationships end when one partner forges ahead on a spiritual path. If someone is way out of your vibrational range, they can’t fit in your world. It’s why James Ray (contributor to “The Secret” movie) carries thousands of dollars in his wallet without fear of being mugged; he’s not a match to mugging. It’s why my ex doesn’t lock his doors; he’s not a match to robbery. It’s why Byron Katie (author of “Loving What is”) hasn’t had a negative thought in years; her vibration doesn’t allow it.

When you change what you vibrate, the Universal Law of Attraction requires that your experiences match the vibration. So moving your internal dial from “irritated” to “pleased” means the world must begin pleasing you. And if your roommate isn’t a match to pleasing you, she’ll become someone else’s roommate.

By releasing feelings of “anger” and replacing them with “peace,” you find yourself in fewer situations that arouse your anger and in more that foster peace. Even people who are naturally anger-arousing will behave inexplicably different with you.

But don’t take my word for it – put it to the test! Try it for yourself and see what happens. Whether it’s with your boss, your toddler or your sweetie, when you change what you’re feeling about them, they’ll show up differently for you.

Manifesting Mr. Right

If you don’t have an existing relationship to transform, but would like to create one from scratch, here’s how to start.

Begin by knowing what you want. Get clear about what type of person you want to attract into your life. Whether it’s a lover, friend, neighbor or – hey, it works for pets too, write down the qualities you want them to possess. What are they like? What makes them tick? What do you love most about them?

Create a clear vision about the type of relationship you want with this person. You can do that by visualizing it, creating a symbolic representation of it (vision boards are popular these days), writing about it, or talking about it as if it already existed. This is Deliberate Creation 101.

Create an even more powerful point of attraction for the relationship you want by following these tips:

1) Activate the vibration today. How will you feel when you have this person in your life? Elated? Content? Fulfilled? Activate that vibration by finding ways to feel that way now. As you do, you align vibrationally with your desired relationship, allowing it to manifest quickly and easily.

2) Be that person you want in your life. You want someone to treat you well? Treat yourself well. You want someone who is considerate, optimistic and understanding? Be that person, to yourself and others. Again, it puts you in alignment with what you want.

3) Love yourself unconditionally. Since everything happening outside of us is a reflection of how we feel inside, it serves us well to create a healthy relationship with our Self. When we love, appreciate and accept ourselves 100%, the world reflects that same unconditional love, appreciation and acceptance back.

So be good to yourself. If there’s something you really don’t think you can love about yourself, change it. As you accept and appreciate yourself fully, the world loves you back – and that’s a nice life to live.

As you recognize your responsibility for the relationships you create in life, you gain control of the reins to create what you want. Remember it’s all an inside job, originating with your thoughts and feelings, which you have the power to choose. Choose well, friends!

postheadericon How to Achieve Rapid Results With the Law of Attraction

Bryan Appleton asked:




Most people love the story behind the Secret. They absolutely feel curious and inspired after they watch the film or read about it. They even go out and start making attempts to use this powerful law in their lives. And they are eager and ready to let it all come to them magically.

What happens? They wind failing miserably. Why?

Because the Secret does not teach you how to use the law of attraction. You can learn some useful insights but it does not fully explain the entire process in a way that a beginner can use to start applying it in their life. Why was this?

Well, the movie is entertainment. And it is also clever marketing. You not only got to learn about the Secret, you also were introduced to many teachers of this practice. And guess what? Their courses are expensive.

Consider personal coaching? Expect to spend $ 5,000 or more. How about an on-line course or E-book that will unlock the mystery behind the law of attraction? $ 100 or more easily.

And then there are the many copycats. These are people who will present the law of attraction to you in a magical and mystical way because they themselves do not fully understand it. They just know that they can jump on the bandwagon and make some money. Or maybe they do have good intentions, but intentions don’t make the information practical or useable in your life.

The law of attraction is a real process. Or rather, using the law of attraction in your favor is a real process.

Can you magically make things manifest? No.

Can you learn what you have to do to make them manifest themselves? Yes.

So how do you achieve rapid results with the law of attraction? Learn the process and how it really works. Learn the practical nature of it and apply it to your life. It will work. You have to believe that. You cannot wish it to work or try to practice magic.

postheadericon The Law of Cause and Effect – Is it the Same As the Law of Attraction?

Mike Bond asked:




The Law of Cause and Effect is not the same as The Law of Attraction. The latter comes out of the former. In other words, the Law of Cause and Effect means that the Universe is perfectly balanced. The cause must exactly equal the effect, rather like Newton’s Third Law.

Because of this perfect balance, we have the Law of Attraction. It isn’t a chicken and egg situation. They would have developed at exactly the same time.

We’ve discussed in the past how the Universe is made up of pure energy, like everything else on Earth. Cause and Effect guided science for thousands of years, but another set of Greek scientists came along and muddied the waters by introducing the theory of Chance-Events.

Now this must not be confused with the Chaos Theory. This is something entirely different and was first propagated by a meteorologist in 1960. It’s now a separate science, attached to which is the famous question; if a butterfly flaps his wings in a certain way in the Brazilian rain forest, will this cause a tornado in Peoria, or wherever?

For a time in the nineteenth century and intensifying in the twentieth, the Chance-Events theory took root as the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Great and heated were the arguments for and against, but this Heisenberg Principle now has been largely discounted on six points, which we won’t go into now.

There is no question that Cause and Effect governs the Universe, together with the Law of Attraction, Vibration, Growth, etc. And here we come to the most important point in the Law of Attraction. Vibration.

Everything vibrates. We can’t necessarily see it, but the vibration’s there, nevertheless. If you tear off a piece of a leaf and put it under a powerful microscope, you’ll see movement. You certainly won’t see it simply by looking at the leaf, nor will you feel it, but the vibration’s there.

A dog whistle’s a good example. We can’t hear the sound, but it’ll have all the dogs in the neighbourhood barking their heads off!

So we’ve seen that the Universe is in perfect balance. If it weren’t, then we’d all fly off into outer space, suns and planets would be colliding all over the place, and there really would be total chaos.

Now for the Universe to be balanced to such perfection, there has to be an Intelligence of such enormity, of which our puny minds can’t possibly conceive. Is it God? If you like. It’s a mystery we may learn when we die, but personally I don’t think it has anything to do with theology.

Basically, this Intelligence is no different from our own, in that it vibrates and is pure energy. No different from our own in that sense, but please don’t misunderstand that statement. I’m certainly not trying to put us on a level with it.

The first thing to do, before you ever think of the Law of Attraction, is to accept responsibility for your life up to now. If you’re still struggling along like most of us, why is this? It’s because you’ve made certain choices which have proved unsound.

Now I know we’ve touched on this before, but acquiring wealth is much more than simply making money. Your wealth must come from inside you as a sort of ‘wealth consciousness.’ But first you must learn who you really are. Not who you’ve been led to believe you are.

Ignore all that and seek the real you.

postheadericon The Law of Attraction Requires Synchronicity

Nancy Stremmel asked:




The Law of Attraction requires that our thoughts, feelings and actions be synchronous. This, at first seems easy, but our unconscious beliefs and the feelings they generate are often out of sync with who we think we are. This can cause trouble if we don’t know how to get back in alignment.

Lining up Thoughts(mind), Feelings(heart) and actions (physical being)

When we see something in our physical world, the origin has already passed in the spiritual or thought world. We only know when we are out of sync because we are not seeing manifest those things that we desire. The easy answer for those just learning the Law of Attraction, is to visualize more passionately. They will spend time reading or buying stuff to help their visualizations.

But, if you ask those who are pretty good at manifesting about their secret to visualizations, they will admit that they sometimes work and sometimes don’t. They usually don’t have a clue as to why. But, because they sometimes work, they keep at it.

This is what we learned from the movie, the secret isn’t it?

Visualize Ask Allow These are the steps in manifesting, but they leave out your state of mind and this must be synchronized with your visualization before you start. This is the allowing that most teachers and coaches will identify as the most common block. This is like stepping on the brake of a car as you hit the gas peddle. Most times, you won’t go anywhere.

Allowing is lining up your beliefs with your feelings and your actions. If any of these are out of alignment, you are putting on the brakes. When they are all lined up, you’ll move swiftly to the manifestation of your desire.

The Conscious mind

Gerald O’Donnell says that thoughts are all there is. This is an energetic world. Substance is an illusion, although a particularly believable illusion. Our conscious mind is the one we are aware of. It consists of our Ego and our connection to our spirit/higher mind/intuition. We are aware of the two when we are observing our critical self (Ego) or when we step back in surprise at a judgmental thought and take a look at it. This critical/judgmental thought comes from our Ego, not our spirit.

The Subconscious mind

This part of our mind is millions of times faster and more powerful than our conscious mind. This is the part that is able to connect with the higher beings and will provide inspiration to whatever questions we ask. This part is always connected to our Higher mind/soul/spirit.

The Subconscious is not attached to the space/time world. It doesn’t understand separation, time or space. As soon as our Ego suggests that we are separate beings and that doing harm to another would be alright, it causes conflict and distress in our subconscious. This would put us out of alignment. This would lower our vibrational frequency and make manifestation more difficult.

The subconscious also monitors our body. When we are distressed or dis-eased for too long, we will become diseased. Since the subconscious doesn’t monitor the thoughts that are sent to it from our conscious mind, it doesn’t make corrections. It is important that we only send correct thoughts. Native Americans call this correct thinking.

Body-physical world

We are programmed to live the life we are living by our thinking. We have to change the program to change our life. Changing your thoughts and your beliefs will change the input to your subconscious. It is this easy to improve your health or your wealth.

When your thinking is correct, your intuitive nudges will all lead you to greater abundance, joy and satisfaction. When your thinking is incorrect, every action you take will seem doomed or difficult no matter how logical it is or how many other people followed that route to success.

postheadericon Law of Attraction Tips – Ask Believe Receive – Live the Dream!

Liz Green asked:




Step 1 ~ Ask

This means you get very, very clear about what you really want by thinking it through completely. Remember that the moment you ask for what you want, it already exists in the spiritual world. Asking is the active step of creation.

Step 2 ~ Believe

This means you must know inside yourself that what you asked for is your immediately. Your belief provides the means for your desire to transform from the spiritual into the material world. Believing is the passive step of creation.

Step 3 ~ Receive

If you believe you have already received, then you will receive. Receiving is the third step in creating, and it is the result of you bringing the active and passive together, which forms a perfect creation.

~ Creation is identical to a battery. Positive is active. Negative is passive. Connect the two perfectly and you have power ~

Now lets take a look at the step 2 in further detail to help you master your limiting beliefs and let magic happen.

To master believing, all you have to do is tip the balance of your thoughts, words and actions, from “not believing” to believing. The ONLY thing that can ever get in the way of manifesting what you want is having more thoughts of “not believing”, speaking more words of “not believing”, and taking more actions of “not believing” than you are of believing. Base the majority of your thoughts, words and actions in believing and the law of attraction must obey you!

Stay in a place of pure positivity and know that your desires are yours.

One thing I found really helped me when working on this 3 step process was to use “believe” stickers around the house in places I would see on a regular basis. I also have one stuck in my purse. This way you are constantly reminded. Belief sometimes seems like the hardest part but understand that your desires are on their way then receive with gratitude. Easy!

Live the Dream.

postheadericon The Law of Attraction and the Importance of Imagination

Mike Bond asked:




The importance of the imagination with regards to The Law of Attraction cannot be overstressed. Indeed, the importance of imagination itself is paramount. Everything springs from the imagination.

The great composers heard their music in their heads before the notes saw the light of day on paper.

Famous painters saw their images on canvas before laying brush to paint.

It was always considered that will power was the one ingredient necessary for success. Indeed, some people still believe this. But what’s stronger, imagination or will power?

You’re determined to stop smoking and you’ll do it by will power alone. Nothing will stand in your way. After all, only weaklings allow their wills to be bettered by their desires. The trouble is that every morning on your way to work, you have to pass a tobacconist’s shop.

During the summer months, the shop owner has the unfortunate habit of leaving his doors wide open, so that the smell of fine tobacco drifts tantalizingly out into the air. You could always cross the road, but masochistically, and because you have such a strong will, you keep to the side of the road where the shop’s located.

Your imagination starts to run riot. You know you should cross the road, but you can’t. You imagine unwrapping your favourite brand of cigarette, removing one, lighting it and taking a delicious draw. Almost in a dream, you walk into the shop, buy your brand, take one out and start to smoke it.

Will power stronger than imagination? I don’t think so!

The gentleman who pointed the way to imagination was a French psychologist and pharmacologist named Emile Coue. He was born in 1857 and died in 1926. He introduced a method of psychotherapy and self improvement based on ‘optimistic autosuggestion.’

Suppose you wish for wealth. The idea is to repeat to the mind affirmations of becoming wealthy. If you’re sick, then the same idea applies. When he was alive, he didn’t have much of a following in Europe, but many in America were taken by his methods, among them Norman Vincent Peale and Robert H Schuller.

He was a brilliant man and it was he who introduced the Placebo effect.

The Law of Attraction starts with imagination. Like any other nascent idea, be it the arts, writing, inventing, they all have to begin with imagination. There are exercises for remaining positive, even through difficult times, which we’ll enter into in further articles.

In a previous piece, I described Chevreul’s pendulum. But who was Chevreul? Michel Eugene Chevreul, born 1786 and died in 1889 at the age of 102, was a most remarkable man. A fierce opponent of anything that smelled of ‘quackery,’ and very sceptical of anything to do with spiritualism, which in his day was rife.

His own belief was that if you imagined something intensely enough, then the body would re-act as though it had already happened. He proved three things.

1. That the subconscious was entirely independent of the conscious and could effect physical actions on its own.

2. The subconscious has no need of interference from the conscious.

3. That repetition trains the subconscious. These are vitally important findings.

His real work was as a chemist investigating fatty acids and the field of Gerontology. This, as opposed to Geriatrics which is the study of disease in the elderly, concerns the social and psychological fields of aging. So here we see two brilliant scientists helping us along the way to the Law of Attraction.

postheadericon Law of Attraction During These Challenging Economic Times

Michael Losier asked:




It’s all around us. TV, online, radio and print news are all spreading the negative vibration of fear and anxiety about an unprecedented global economic situation that continues to slide downwards on a daily basis. Just listening, reading, discussing and observing what is happening around us is causing us to also send this same negative vibration. So what do we need to do to keep our vibration pure and positive during these times?

Imagine a large Vibration Meter Reader pointed down on people around the world, during these “challenging economic” times. What vibration would it read? Would Law of Attraction find the vibration or feeling of; fear, stress, anxiety, worry about financial insecurity, lack of hope for more abundance, lack of belief that using Law of Attraction will work to attract abundance during this big economic downturn? Or would it find the vibration of; joy bliss, appreciation, gratitude and love (just to name a few).

Remember, the Law of Attraction has one job – to match the vibration you are sending, whether negative or positive, or whether you are sending this vibration deliberately or not.

Staying positive during this economic challenge is an opportunity for you to exercise and activate your ABUNDANCE ‘muscle’. In other words, you need to send out a vibration of abundance more deliberately. In every moment you have a mood or a feeling which causes you to send out a positive or negative vibration. Sending the vibration of abundance happens only when you FEEL abundant. Suppose you asked people on the street,

“How many minutes a day do you deliberately send out a vibration of abundance?”

What do you think their answer would be? I bet it would be ZERO minutes a day. How can anyone expect to attract abundance if they are not sending out the matching vibration of abundance?

The feeling of ABUNDANCE is a strong, high, and positive vibration. The only way to attract anything is to send a matching vibration of the way you want it to be. Only when you FEEL abundant will you ATTRACT abundance. It’s that simple! You WILL become more abundant when you deliberately send out the vibration of abundance more often.

There are many opportunities right now for you to become more deliberate about activating your Abundance Muscle.

Here are some common scenarios that you may find yourself in. Pay attention to the new response you can give that will keep you in the positive vibration of abundance!

Your new response will be to say, “Thank-you”. That is the only verbal response you will give.

But, from now on, in your inner voice, you will say to yourself,

“I AM very abundant. I DID attract this! Law of Attraction IS working!”

Here are examples of scenarios in which you get to practice this!

1) Someone gives you a gift…just say thanks…nothing else!
In your inner voice you will say, “I AM very abundant. I DID attract this! Law of Attraction IS working!”

2) Someone buys you lunch or coffee…just say thanks…nothing else!
In your inner voice you will say, “I AM very abundant. I DID attract this! Law of Attraction IS working!”

Someone drives you somewhere and buys the gas needed…
Someone offers to do a free service for you…
Someone offers to pay for something for you…
Someone lets you stay in their B&B or summer cottage for free…

It sounds easy, yes? Well, just wait and see. Many people don’t accept things with such a simple and short statement of thankfulness. It’s very likely most of us have learned a script in the little ritual we get caught in each time we find ourselves in one of the above scenarios.

Someone offers to give you something, or pay for something, or do something for you and you follow the script (or learned behavior) and say,

“No, that’s Ok. You don’t have to do that.”
Or, “No, I can get it, you don’t have to. I’ll pay for mine.”
Oh yes! You can just hear yourself, right?

Here is your assignment.

As a deliberate attractor, you will now just say thanks and silently acknowledge the abundance you are receiving. You are then sending the vibration of abundance and DELIBERATELY exercising your Abundance Muscle.

Have fun…it’s short and sweet…just say thanks and close your mouth!
