Manifesting with the Law of Attraction

24 hours, 1,440 minutes, 86,400 seconds—no matter how you express it, we only have so much time each day into which we cram work or school, cooking, cleaning, family time and a myriad of miscellaneous obligations and commitments, all clamoring
for our attention. In between these activities are unavoidable traffic jams, grocery lines and waiting rooms, etc., where we find ourselves stuck wasting time while we “hurry up and wait.” And so the concept of multitasking was born, and many of us are masters at it. We make lists, plan menus, balance checkbooks, read reports or write them, all in an effort to fill the void, to
close the doing-nothing gap, between our hectic, active hours.

But what if there was a way to create the life of your dreams in those “in betweens?” Rather than doing, doing, doing in those free moments, what if you could relax your body, quiet your
mind, and just “be” for a change? And while you are enjoying a little down time, use visualizations, mantras and affirmations to manifest your heart’s desires.

Einstein shared one of the keys to his genius when he said, “Imagination is the preview of life’s coming attractions.” Visualization is the art of using your imagination to “preview your life” in your mind’s eye. But first, you must be clear about what you want and then imagine the perfect outcome of it. See yourself excelling at the work, lounging in the home, abounding in the abundance, or loving the relationships that you dream about. When you visualize something you want, you activate and energize your own vibration so that it can begin to resonate in harmony with your desire and set in motion the process of
drawing it to you. Get emotional about it though. Allow yourself the supreme joy of actually feeling what you are picturing to supercharge your visualizations.

While the word “mantra” may bring to mind deep meditation or melodic chanting, it can really be as simple as saying a word over and over, and infusing it with your intentions. Use energetic, powerful words, such as “Love,” “Believe,” “Joy,” “Peace,” or whatever mantra resonates with you. Choose a word and repeat it over and over in your mind with a subtle awareness of what it means to you. Internal mental repetition of a mantra may be used to quiet your thoughts or combined with visualization to manifest your intentions.

“But if you wish to enjoy more prosperity and success in life, you have to consciously, boldly and deliberately take hold of your thoughts and feelings and redirect them toward prosperity and success.” advises Catherine Ponder in her wonderful book, The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity. And a very effective way to redirect your thoughts is through the use of affirmations. Affirmations are mini but mighty messages that speak directly to your subconscious mind. They are specific, positive statements of whatever you desire to be, do or have. Say affirmations to yourself (or out loud whenever possible) with authority, command, conviction, and especially, with feeling. Your subconscious mind is always working, and always attentive to the words that you feed it. It does not judge, edit or elaborate on your words. It merely produces what you say, think or feel. Joseph Murphy explains in one of the most powerful self-help guides ever written, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, “As you sow in your subconscious mind, so shall you reap in your body and environment. Begin now to sow thoughts of peace, happiness, right action, good will, and prosperity.”

Using these simple but powerful tools can help you transform so-called “wasted time” into precious contemplative moments that create, uplift and inspire you wherever you are. What a great way
to relieve the stress, hold down the frustration, or control the anger of being inconvenienced. But you do not always have to reserve the use of visualizations, mantras and affirmations for your down-time.

There are 86,400 seconds in a day. How many can you spare to create your heart’s desires?

I have just finished watching the movie “Bridge to Terabithia” with my nephews. Terabithia was a place of make-believe borne out of the very fertile imagination of Leslie Burke who did not have TV at home. In Terabithia, weird creatures that only the mind can conceive come to life. In Terabithia, all secret wishes and dreams come true.

“That which is conceived within, will eventually be realized without.” That is the law of attraction. A law that is part of this unerring universe. What if we create our own Terabithia? A place in our mind where our dearest wishes and dreams are true already. Where we can touch and feel, smell, hear, see, taste and interact the things we want, and experience the ideal life we want to have. As the law dictates, everything will eventually become a reality.

Most adults often find this difficult to do probably because we believe too much in reality. Time spent in imagination is time wasted and any product of the imagination is mere fantasy. The reality is that there is a recession, some people have lost their jobs, and some their homes. Everywhere, people are getting poorer and life is getting harder. So we have to work harder, and harder, but is struggling really the answer? If all you have within are struggles to make ends meet and then by the law of attraction that is all you will be experiencing.

I think scarcity in this universe would mean the end of it. And there has been perceived scarcity in this universe since time immemorial. The struggle for power and dominion, the perpetual hunger for money, and the insatiable need to be the best than the rest are all signs of this perceived scarcity. There is abundance in the universe because that is the only way that this collection of vibrating energy of cosmic proportion can operate. The law of attraction is the tool to connect to this abundant universe.

It is time to use the mind for more than where to get money for the next mortgage. Give it a rest, allow it to relax and let it soar to a place where you already have the money for the next mortgage. And after you have gone to that place and have already experienced the solution, allow yourself to forget for a few hours or a day. You will be surprised at how you have attracted the solution to your problem.

It seems really crazy to be doing all that law of attraction stuff and most of all forgetting about your mortgage. You would soon be out on the street if you forget your mortgage. But, really, can you say that obsessing and relentlessly turning the problems over and over in your mind brings you the solution to your dilemma? You have been doing that for years and you are still doing that now, there must be a better way.

Why does the poor gets poorer and rich gets richer? Because the poor’s man mind is focused on poverty and his financial problems, while the rich man’s mind is focused on creating ideas to grow his riches. But most rich people are self-made. True! By combining action with creative thinking and looking beyond their realities, these self-made billionaires have successfully lived their ideal lives.

Choose your ideal life today. Use the power of the law of attraction to manifest it in your reality.

Imaginations can get tense during the holidays. Expectations wrestle in our minds and lives. Holiday traditions are jammed into already busy days. Instant gratification turns into regret. Debts are accumulated. Or sometimes, the imagination just shuts down and we slog through the holidays doing what other people are expecting of us. What if this season, a spiritual expectation can improve our experience?

A spiritual expectation is different from a worldly expectation. Spiritual expectations equal a productive developing consciousness. Worldly expectations are analogous to a frenzied or idle consciousness that can’t get out of itself. For example, if we expect a holiday party to give us joy, joy has just been reduced to time/space, excluding joy from many areas of our life. And, where is joy for those who weren’t invited to the party? What happens to joy if we get sick and cannot attend the party? How reliable is joy when we go to the party and have fun, but return home to dirty dishes?

Spiritual expectations are linked to that which is greater. If we expect joy from the sheer fact we radiate joy, we can be joyful whether we are getting ready for a holiday party or not. Aligning our thoughts with the metaphysical fact that joy precedes us—joy is found for others, is found now, at a party, and when we come home to dirty dishes.

Along with joy, spiritual expectations do not depend on any human event, season, or tradition. Admittedly, the holidays can be a grand time however that grandness can extend throughout the year when emanating from unconditional hopes. It is intriguing to improve our holiday season experience and then continue to feel the holiday spirit year round. However, this requires breaking away from the familiar, from the common beliefs of what we have trained ourselves to think about the holidays.

From 21st Century Science and Health the first English revision of Mary Baker Eddy’s Science and Health, we read, “The human mind is educated into selfish and sensualistic thinking as it constantly repeats the same thoughts to its self. If we are always talking about the body or persistently anticipating bodily pleasures (or even nervously expecting pain), we are being skillfully trained in the unspiritual. This education is at the expense of spiritual development.” Likewise, if we constantly expect temporary enjoyment, or even stress, during the holidays, our spiritual development is neglected.

Many people review their holiday experiences and strive to eliminate worldly expectations by improving their habits and rituals. Less time and money are wasted. More forgiveness and philanthropy is expressed. And, their happiness and security become more stable. A confidence is built up—a confidence that love and joy is found within consciousness, not in a particular holiday or gift or food.

Expectations can be powerful. What we are hoping is generally where our head and heart are being directed. Instead of expecting the holidays to bring good-will, peace, and joy, realize and act on the fact that good-will, peace, and joy will bring a beautiful holiday experience all year round.
