The Secret Law of Attraction

The Secret Law of Attraction is one of the hidden natural laws of the universe. Whether you believe it or not, it is still at work. Just like the gravity, no matter if you believe in gravity or not the force is still working on your body to keep it planted on the ground.

So What is the Law of Attraction?

The book The Secret that Oprah talks about and promotes is based on The Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction is simply what you think is attracted to you. This is a powerful natural force and it puts the power to be whatever you wish back in your hands once your realize this natural law is in action. It also allows you the power to have whatever you desire and to do whatever you want. As a matter of fact since, like gravity, this natural law is always at work, you can now be aware that you have created everything in your life by attracting it to you.

Yes. It is true. You have created the life you are living right now. If you are struggling financially, don't like your mate, or hate your job, these are all things you have attracted to you. So instead of feeling bad about your circumstance or being frustrated, simply recognize the natural law of attraction and change your thoughts.

Thoughts Become Things

There is an old saying that goes something like this “thoughts become ideas, ideas become words, words become actions, actions become habits, habits become your character and your character becomes your destiny.” Thoughts become your destiny. What power thoughts have in our lives!

So what are your thoughts? Have you really listened to the mind chatter going on in your head lately?

First pick an area that you would like to change then promise yourself to really listen to yourself just for the next 24 hours. Find out what you are telling yourself through your actions or your thoughts on that topic. For example, if you are working on prosperity issues, watch what you think and say about money.

Lack of Prosperity

Some common pitfalls to negative prosperity thinking are:

• I have to work hard for money
• I am always broke
• I can't get a break
• Oh I bet there are only bills in the mail again
• I never will be able to catch up
• I am too deep in debt to do anything about it

This kind of thinking simply attracts these beliefs into becoming your reality. It may sound simple, but transforming the beliefs you have had in place for many years, if not decades, takes effort. Don't give up though! Once you see the cycle, you can break the cycle, and from there it becomes easier and easier. The first step is knowing your own beliefs.

Law of Attraction 24 Hour Challenge

For 24 hours, pay attention to all the thought on one specific topic you desire to change. See what beliefs come up, find the words you use to describe your tasks surrounding the area. Quite often they are beliefs that were formed when we are young an come from our family. You can do the 24 hour challenge with any topic. The first step is knowing your own beliefs. So try for 24 hours to watch what feelings, and thoughts and words come up about any topic you would like to work on and see what beliefs come up.

Here are just a sampling of the topics worth working on:

• Money
• Relationships
• Children
• Specific People
• Self
• Work

Determine what beliefs you have about the topic by simply being aware for a 24 hour of period. Just a small example comes from a friend who is struggling with prosperity issues. She took the challenge and wrote down all the clues that came up about money. She found her mind would say negative things over and over about money. She would go to the mail box and instead of being expectant, she would approach it fearfully thinking "Oh man, what bills are now due." Later she hear herself saying "Money may come easy for you, but it doesn't for me."

By being aware of these thoughts and many more, she was able to stop the mind from this by using affirmations. She now approaches the mailbox with joy and she is finding she gets more than just bills, she gets cards from friends, and checks. Random checks. She wins stuff and those notices come in the mail too. After a few weeks of forcing herself to be excited to get the mail, it is now easy because the Law of Attraction has brought her good news via mail.

I just found the book The Four Agreements and boy is it fantastic. It relates well with the Law of Attraction for the first agreement is to be impeccable with your words. And one of my favorite passages is toward the end of the book “I want you to forget everything you have learned in your whole life. This is the beginning of a new understanding, a new dream. The dream you are living is your creation. It is your perception of reality that you can change at any time. You have the power to create hell, and you have the power to create heaven.”

I have believed this since I was a kid. We create our own world here on earth. What is heaven to me may be your personal hell. So if you now recognize that the power to create your own heaven right here, right now, then you can begin a transformation by focusing on being impeccable with your words and your thoughts.

Abundance

Out of The Secret and The Law of Attraction comes many way of working with this powerful force. You can attract anything to your life such as:

• Wealth
• A Soul Mate
• Joy
• Abundance
• Self-Love
• Healthy Relationships

All these topics are worth taking the 24 hour challenge. Besides you have nothing to loose except your old way of thinking!

Genius of Listening To Yourself

To believe your own thought,
to believe that what
is true for you in
your private heart is true for all men,
- that is genius.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Staying True To You -
Pure Genius, Pure Happiness

This quote by Emerson is worth reading and re-reading. I am a truth seeker and I use to look for truth from other sources. Sources like books and other people. I still read and listen to others; however, there is a shift in perspective for me now. I listen to my own responses to what I read or hear. By getting in touch with how I feel about a subject or the information being put to me, I stay true to who I am. The "who I am" is fluid. I try to learn something new about myself daily and have made a commitment to never stop learning and growing. So when I say "I stay true to who I am," I do not mean that I dig my heals in the ground and don't budge. It really means that I do a gut check with new information. If it doesn't feel right, I try to see what it is I am at odds with and whether or not I need to grow or if I can dismiss the information all together.

The genius is that in staying true to yourself at a core level, you perpetuate a level of happiness unattainable with external sources. Trying to stay happy by shopping, immersing in your child's activities, making someone else happy are all unfulfilling paths. When you stay true to your core being, your soul self, you bring with you everywhere you go true happiness. And when you are truly happy from within, you will bring more happiness to your family, friends and even strangers.

Try this exercise. Next time you get a new task to perform, do a gut check. Scan your body for resistance. If you feel resistance anywhere, focus on why the resistance is coming. Ask yourself questions like:

• Am I resisting just to be stubborn?
• Am I resisting because it truly makes me unhappy?
• Am I resisting because I know better?
• Am I resisting to be right or to win the argument?
• Am I resisting for other reasons?
• What are the reasons I am resisting?

If you seek to know where the resistance comes from in a way that is true and honest to yourself, it can be a profound and life changing exercise. Of course, as with anything, you can also do the exercise from a place of superiority or desire to be right or other negative aspects to which I have to tell you, you are shortchanging yourself.

Genius is not always about being technically the smartest, no, but genius is about thinking beyond the norm. You can be the happy, truly happy, by simply listening to your own heart.

Power of Success Experiment

I recently ran two 12 week experiment called The Power of Success through Divine Love Experiment. The experiment originated from an article by Catherine Ponder titled ”The Miricale of Love”

After reading this article and specifically the paragraphs below, I was inspired to try this with a group of friends to see what kind of results we could generate.

“I know of a group of persons who once experimented with the power of love in a prayer group and found it to be the greatest thing in the world to solve both personal and business problems. Once a week these persons met for an hour and affirmed statements of divine love. They brought to these meetings their private prayer lists of people and situations they wished to bless with the success power of love. No one else saw their prayer lists, nor did they talk about the people and problems their prayer lists represented.

Instead, they quietly placed their hands on their individual prayer lists while they affirmed together various statements on divine love. “Divine love is doing its perfect work in me and through me now” they affirmed for themselves, for their own health, wealth, and happiness; “Divine love is doing its perfect work in you and through you now” they affirmed for those on their prayer lists.

For a number of weeks they met and affirmed statements of love over and over. In a quiet way, amazing things began to happen to the various members of that group and to the people for whom they prayed.”

With the focus on Divine Love and not obstacles, the first group met each week via conference call. Each week I would meditate and ask for the direction and focus for that week's call. The second group was larger and was not able to meet via phone. This is why the videos were developed and for a limited time are available to you via YouTube.

The results for me personally have been amazing. I had so many people and situations on my Divine Love Focus list that were in need of healing. And so many were healed. Some were friends who were suddenly out of work, some were physically ill, some items were severely past due customers; almost every situation I had on my list has been healed. I feel truly blessed to have been a part of this experiment and to be in the habit of focusing on Divine Love.

If you would like to try the experiment, create a list then simply put your attention on the list of situations or people you choose to bless with the Power of Divine Love and you may also choose to go through some of the meditations on YouTube.
