3 things that you must do to effectively use the law of attraction

 

The other day I listened to the conversation Anthony Treas had with Bob Doyle from Anthony's 12 Week Life Transformation Series, Bob was discussing his experience using the Law of Attraction and his cameo appearance in the movie, The Secret. Bob said, "…..The law of attraction explains how our experience is our experience. It is the reason that everything is around us. That is our life, it's everything that is around us and is our life."

For years I have wanted to make significant changes to my life, to get it working again after a series of disasters in my financials and relationships where I seemed to be absolutely stuck at the bottom. Those words definitely got my attention.

But, my inner critic quickly came into voice, "Just another ploy to get you separated from your limited money. Been there, done that and it won't work any better than the others."

I guess we have all been there and in my case I really wanted that Law of Attraction to be working for me!

"The Law of Attraction explains how our experience is our experience," kept ring in my mind.

Damn the voice! I just kept listening!

"….But if you can get just the vibrational resonance part (right), every thought that we have, every feeling that we have, is putting out a vibration and the universe is bringing (responding) toward it, It's a vibrational match."

So what is happening when we talk about the Law of Attraction?

Here it is: The world you experience, the things that happen to you, the way people treat you, badly as well as the good, the amount of money you have at any given time, etc., etc., etc., is directly the result of the type of thoughts you have about those things.

The same idea put another way: If you want to change something in your life - anything at all - no exceptions, no "ifs or buts" - you first have to change the way you think about that "something" - consciously.

A very simply proposal, but the most difficult thing to actually do in my experience!

And there is more! The thoughts you have about that "something" lead to how you feel about that "something." The feeling you have establishes the resonance with the Universe to line up with you and deliver what you ask for.

The confusion about action: "I am thinking, I am feeling good, so where is my stuff?" I hear you ask. And it is here that I got myself stuck with only minimal results, for years!

Clearly, there was a major mismatch between what I thought I wanted and the resonance (Where is it?) I was sending out. I needed a guided process that would move me from the "knowledge" of the Law of Attraction to the effective manifestation of my desires into my physical experience.

These are the Three Simple Steps I use:

Step 1: Accept what you are experiencing now is the result of:

a) Your emotional response to your perception (a thought) of the circumstances as only you can see it.
b) The circumstance is directly happening as a result of your previous thinking patterns coming to fruition; i.e. The Law of Attraction in action.
This acceptance step is vital in my experience and often overlooked. It it sometimes referred to as the "Gratitude" step. Be grateful for what you have now. The Law of Attraction indicates that all and every circumstance you deal with is directly the result of previous thinking patterns. Therefore you need to recognise that you are actually experiencing the results of past thought. What you do next, consciously, in the Now, becomes your future; which basically means that you can't actually do (in the physical sense) a lot about changing right now what has already happened except how you choose to react to it.

Step 2: Decide (not easy at first) exactly how you would like it to be.

This is actually easier to understand than Step 1 because that step is simply an acknowledgment of The Facts of the situation and this second step is the part where you actually get to do something. Most people are more focused on doing something and that makes this one easier to understand. So, simply do it.

Before we go further I want to discuss what is meant by "emotional response" to give you an idea of what that means and how you identify it.

I want you to notice (think about it now) how you generally respond when someone tells you what great work you do or how great you look. Notice how you most frequently want to minimize these generous comments about yourself, even to the point of arguing against them. Can you see that by so doing, you say to yourself that you are not very good at all? This includes how you see yourself in the mirror. Every imperfection, body shape, hair colour/length. etc., you would want to change and all ideas of where you could be, or do better; all that negatively comparing yourself to others, who are always better than you are, is the main game in your mind. Simply notice how you do it to yourself.

By saying these things to yourself almost constantly you start to believe them and then you unconsciously act that out and all sorts of funny, unwanted events and things begin to occur in your life directly as a consequence of your own thoughts.

Most people I have met do this to themselves, including myself. It is often referred to as the Inner Critic and we need to recognize how devastating that constant self criticism can be in undermining our genuine efforts to become a better person in all of the ways we wish that to be. The point is: Constant thoughts along a single, general line become beliefs, which then operate non-consciously to give us what we consciously say we don't want.

Happily, we can use this very process to structure the automatic, non-conscious thoughts that we do want to give yourself the life experience you do want.

You simply decide what you do want (Step 2.) and only think about yourself as if you already have it. This can be a fun game as it seems you are telling yourself lies; when you look, what you do want is not actually there at all; but you say to yourself that it is. This process can be proved scientifically in Quantum Physics, but all you need to accept is that it is a very important conscious thought process and is the only way you can replace the old thoughts and beliefs that reside within your non-conscious now.

Step 3: Picture and feel the way you would like it to be.

You simply imagine how you would like the new situation to feel (being happy and complete is a good one to use here); and you do this as often as you can remember to during your waking hours. I am talking about doing this at least 20 times throughout every day! Writing something short and sweet on a sheet that you can have with you and read as often as possible is a good way to do this. And then you do it, do it, do it and do it some more. The minimum time is scientifically known to be 28 days before any new, permanent structures appear in the brain to show that a new belief has developed. However, if you are dealing with a long held old belief, that time can run to months and sometimes years.

The "Link" Step: When in doubt, feeling frustrated, feeling depressed, less than, or any negative about your "current" circumstances, refer to Step 1!

And it really works: I have been without a car for the past few months and it was getting to me that I had not manifest a new one in a timely manner. For the last 4/5 weeks I have been (dare I say?) religiously using these Three Steps. Yesterday I became the proud owner of my new motor car.

Yes. It really works, but it takes some guts and determination that had been missing up until one month ago.

The best idea is to have fun with it. It is real, it is the natural way of the universe and you get the hang of using it, eventually! We are doing it all the time; we just don't know how we are doing it, but we can learn and have a wonderful, prosperous, loving life as a consequence.
