Manifesting with the Law of Attraction

What you think about influences what you notice in your environment. Think thoughts of abundance and you will find that abundance appears uppermost in your experience.

An element of becoming a conscious thinker is to notice what gets your attention.

Right now, there are an infinite number of things that are happening in your physical environment. But, you are not seeing everything that’s happening. If you’re indoors, you may be sitting in an air conditioned room. If it’s nighttime, you may have a light on overhead. If you’re in a residential area, there may be a car passing outside. But, while you’re reading this blog entry, you may not be noticing any of those things. You do not see everything.

So, what determines what you see? Your thoughts. You only see that which you are currently thinking about. Change what you think and you will change what you see.

Think abundance and you will see abundance. When you actively choose your thoughts, you exert control over what you notice in your environment. What you see most often is what you will experience most often.

The things that get your attention are clues to uncovering the thoughts that are most dominant in your mind. Refuse the belief that a thought occurred to you for no apparent reason. You may say, “I don’t know what made me think that.” Remember, you are the thinker. You can tell yourself what to think.

Get in the driver’s seat of your own mind. Turn the wheel in the direction you want to go. Obey the “traffic” laws that govern thinking but stay focused on where you want to go.

Treat stumbling blocks and setbacks like red lights and stop signs. Pause for a moment, if you must, but not for a lifetime. Remember, you are the thinker. You are the driver of your own mind. Give no one the key to your mental car.

One way to get in the driver’s seat of your own mind is to practice daily affirmations. Unfortunately, critics of “The Secret” and other like teachings have reduced the message in these teachings to one law: the Law of Attraction. And, they’ve painted a picture of naïve followers who foolishly believe that saying positive affirmations works some kind of magical hoodoo voodoo on the universe.

Saying positive affirmations is NOT magic. Rather, it is an effective method for steering your mind in the direction of your choosing. Regardless of what happens around you, you can choose what to think. You can direct your mind toward subjects that make you happy and please you. What you see most often is what you will experience most often.

You can refuse thoughts. You do not have to think about everything that’s given to you to think about. Those thoughts that pop up “out of the blue” can be sent back to the blue. It is this power of refusal that gives you control over your universe.

If you’re like most Americans these days, you probably need more money. And, I would guess that your attention is often consumed with how far your money is NOT stretching in this economy. Changing this experience will be a matter of changing what you notice most often.

Pick a definite time of the day, maybe in the morning. Set aside 10 to 15 minutes to say positive affirmations. Use a tool like The Money Poems to focus your mind on abundance. A tool like The Money Poems can help you align your thinking with prosperity.

Continue all the other things you are doing to change your situation. We live in a physical universe. Affirmations are NOT meant to replace physical action. And, they certainly do not remove your personal responsibility to practice sound financial principles.

What a set of daily affirmations can do for you is to add a spiritual and mental component to your physical efforts. While you’re looking for a job, positive affirmations can help you stay focused. While you’re negotiating with your creditors, positive affirmations can keep you centered on the big picture.

What you think about influences what you notice, and what you see most often directly influences what you experience most often. Take charge of your thoughts. Your future depends on it.

I’m sure most people are familiar with the story of the Shoemaker and the Elves. But how does it relate to the concept of the law of attraction? As matter of giving a background to this post, I would like to relate a part of this wonderful fairy tale.

Once upon a time, there was a shoemaker who was barely making ends meet. Due to poverty, he could only afford to buy enough leather for one pair of shoes. So every night, he would cut out the leather according to the shoe style he wanted to make; and laid them on his workbench ready to be sewn into a brand new pair of shoes early the following morning. One night, as was his habit, he left the leather on his workbench and retired for the night. He woke up early the following morning ready to start sewing. To his amazement and utter disbelief, there on his wooden workbench, stood a fine and perfectly sewn pair of shoes ready to be sold!

As you know, the story didn’t end there. It went on to tell us that a pair of elves has been responsible for the finished pair of shoes that the Shoemaker found every morning.

The story is a good analogy of how to easily manifest your desires through the law of attraction. Our job is to know what we want to achieve, but we must leave it up to the universe how to achieve them. The cut out leather represents our own preparations of what we want to manifest. Through positive affirmations, creative visualizations and our own self confidence, we lay out the details (cutting the leather to desired style) of the finished product (the pair of shoes).

• Abundance is your birth right. You have to believe that you are claiming your birth right in order to manifest abundance through the law of attraction.

• Begin with a thought of what you want. Manifesting with the law of attraction always starts with a seed of thought.

• Construct this object or person in your mind detail by detail.

• Define the object in a material sense by cutting or drawing pictures of it or writing down a detailed description. This will make your mental images more concrete.

• Energize your creation by feeling the emotion of owning it at last. Feel the sensations of touching, hearing, smelling, seeing or tasting it.

• Feelings are valuable indicators that you are well-aligned with your desires. A feeling that you are pushing against something indicate resistance. Before you move on with the process, know first why you are feeling this resistance. Clear negative feelings first because this will lead to manifesting failure. This article on what desires you can manifest through the law of attraction may help you. On the other hand, positive feelings indicate that you are indeed on the right track.

• Give so you may receive. The act of giving produces more of the same through the law of attraction. You will be blessed to receive more so you can give more.

• Hold the vision. Use your power to mentally visualize your image of what you desire. If you need aids, read the fourth bit. According to Abraham, you only need to hold the vision for at least 64 seconds. That is not a lot to ask. If you can hold it for twice or 10 times that duration, so much the better.

• Imagination is a powerful self-empowerment tool. The limited success you have experienced in your life is equivalent to the limits of your imagination of what you can do or have.

• Juice up your creation in your mind. You do this be visualizing it, by affirming it with conviction, by pretending you already have it, by believing that you already have it. If it has a life in there, it will eventually live out here.

• Keep saying it until you believe it. Meaning, you have to affirm it.

• Life goes on. Just because your desire is only true in your mind does not mean you have to put a hold on your life until it materializes. Remember that the essence of life is to flow. Hold it back and you accumulate stale energies of the past.

• Manifesting your desires through the law of attraction is hindered by your attachment to your desires. The seed of your creative thought is meant to be sown and allowed to grow through the natural process of the universe.

• Nature or the universe takes charge of how and when it will happen. Remember the story of the Shoemaker and the Elves? The shoemaker provides the leather (material for the shoes) and the elves uses the leather to make the pair of shoes. With the law of attraction, we provide a mental picture of our desire (material) and the universe or nature, provide the way for its fulfillment.

• Open your self up to miracles.

• Quite minds are receptive minds.
