Manifesting with the Law of Attraction

MONEY

My bet is that just seeing the word “Money” big and bold triggered an emotional response in you. Take a second to think about it. What was your first reaction? Was it a flashback of someone telling you that money is the root of all evil; that money doesn’t grow on trees; that you have to work hard to get it; be dishonest or take unfair advantage of someone else? None of these are probably what you “think” about money. Honestly, most people’s thoughts of money are that they want more (and I’m talking a whole lot more) of it. But the challenge is, if what you are thinking and what you are feeling are not a match, your feelings will win out every time.

It should not surprise anyone that money is such an emotionally charged matter, because money is essentially energy. Money is currency, or in other words, a current that flows from an exchange of talents, services or actions. However, the feelings of fear and negativity are co-creators of the barriers that build up and substantially slow or stop the natural flow of currency, money or abundant energy, into our lives.

Here’s a tool that may help you “feel” differently about money. In her classic book, “The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity,” Catherine Ponder tells the story of a salesman whose standard response to the “How’s business” question was always “Business is wonderful because there’s gold dust in the air!” And for him there was. Because he said it was so, each contact resulted in sales and people always remarked of him, “Everything he touches turns to gold.”

Everything you touch can turn to gold, too, if you “see” the gold dust that is in the air. Take a few moments several times a day and simply visualize gold dust surrounding you…well, like the air you breathe. Have fun with this. Feel its vibrant energy cascading over you, softly grazing your hair, faintly brushing your cheeks, covering your clothing, and collecting in your hands and at your feet. Squish it between your fingers. Wiggle your toes in it. Roll around in it. Make gold dust angels! Then when you are truly in that golden state of abundance, feel yourself overflowing with gratitude as you thank the Universe for your bounty.

Visualizing gold dust in the air allows you to accept the truth that wealth and abundance are accessible to everyone and that there is an unlimited supply of it. No one has to lose out. As a matter of fact, abundance is your birthright. It is the way life was meant to be experienced. You don’t have to work HARD for money, take advantage of anyone else, or be evil to get it. Figuratively, all you have to do is open your hands (or a very large trunk) to collect whatever you want. See yourself doing just that and expect golden opportunities to open up for you. Expect that gold nuggets of wisdom to newfound wealth will be revealed to you, and they will.

The basic premise of the law of attraction is that you attract what is most predominant in your mind. The energy you are vibrating will magnetize into your reality the experience that matches that energy. That is the law of attraction.

It is possible to apply the law of attraction if you are trying to lose weight. The procedure is easy enough. You just have to imagine yourself already in that ideal body. Tell yourself you already have that ideal body or pretend that you already have the ideal body. Wish it were that easy!

Like any other application of the law of attraction, your worst enemy is yourself. Sometimes it is hard to get past the reality of our situation. Having a weight that is not ideal does not only affect your physical health, but your emotional and mental health as well. Seldom can you find people who are overweight or obese but very confident and secure. With the hour-glass figures of celebrities plastered everywhere one can’t help but be painfully aware of the differences.

If you are overweight or obese and you look at yourself on the mirror, you will see an image that you do not like. It is hard not to feel frustrated at what we are seeing. However, the law of attraction requires that you transcend beyond what you see in your reality. Here are some tips on how to apply the law of attraction to your weight loss goal.

1. Know the real reason why you want to lose weight. Your reason for losing those extra weight must be compelling enough to overcome your desire to eat and eat, and it must be strong enough to drive you to regular exercise and other physical activities.The creation of an object or the fulfillment of something starts with a desire (or fear). A strong desire to lose weight breeds passion and commitment for your weight loss goal and the energy of that desire can trigger the law of attraction and the creative process.
2. Suspend doubt. The law of attraction is a phenomenon that needs your faith in the unknown and in your own power to manifest your ideal body. It is not seeing is believing but believing is seeing.
3. Activate the law of attraction by affirming that you already have a healthy and beautiful body. Affirm with conviction. Affirm with belief. Affirm with emotion. Declare it out to the entire universe that you already have the ideal weight.
4. Be an imageneer. Design your body to your own specifications. Do this by employing the power of creative visualization. By constantly seeing your ideal body in your mind, you will activate the law of attraction into manifesting the same picture in your reality.
5. Do not just dawdle in your room with your day dreams. Take actions! You will not lose weight if you will not modify your eating habits and exercise. Remember that the law of attraction does not equate to the law of no efforts, but to the law of least efforts. It is true that your job when applying the law of attraction is to tell the universe that this is what you want. In response, the universe will provide you with opportunities to achieve this goal. It is now your job to make use of these opportunities.A friend of mine who wanted to lose weight was looking for a gym to enroll in. She had a requirement for the location, the equipment available, the people and the general “atmosphere” of a gym. She inspected many gyms already, but most of them only fill some of her requirements not all. She “accidentally” found it when she was made to wait an hour in her dentist’s clinic. Somebody left a leaflet of a newly opened gym. It listed the equipment she wants and the location is great. She lost no time in visiting the gym and it was what she was hoping for. She told me she has been affirming and listing down her gym requirements over and over for the past days.
6. Know how to handle frustrations. Anthony Robbins listed this as one of the five keys to wealth and happiness. The road to great achievements is never wide and easy. It is never without frustrations and pain. The law of attraction has taught us to think of our goal as already achieved. It is not always an easy order to follow, but if you think about it there are actually no other alternatives. Thinking negatively will only depress you and will not get you any nearer to your goal. On the other hand, thinking positively about your weight loss goal will inspire you to stick to your exercise regimen and control your desire to over eat.

The use of the law of attraction to lose weight may lead you to find more helpful information about weight loss, a free consultation with a dietitian or a nutritionist about eating right, finding out you’re a natural in a particular sport, better support groups, more sources for motivation, improved self-confidence, and most of all your ideal body.

There are so many people just learning about The Law of Attraction who say they wish they had learned it when they were younger. “Oh how different their life would be!” they exclaim.

I’m here to tell you that it is never too late to learn or to reap the benefits of this wonderful way of thinking.

The perfect example of this is a recent episode that was on Oprah Winfrey‘s show. She was doing a follow-up on The Secret and more ways people could learn to use the Law of Attraction in their lives.

She had as one of her guests, Louise Hay. Talk about inspiring! Louise Hay did not start learning about the Law of Attraction until she was 50 years old. However, now at 81 she has accomplished more within the last 30 years than most people accomplish in their entire lifetimes! (Not to mention she also looks awesome!)

Louise Hay is a best selling author as well as the extremely successful publisher of Hay House books. If you have purchased any best selling Law of Attraction books over the last 10 years or so, you might be very familiar with the name.

This is a woman who has an extremely difficult upbringing. Her childhood was unstable and impoverished, and her teen years were marked by abuse.

She went through a divorce after 14 years of marriage and when later in life she was diagnosed with cancer, she put her philosophies into practice and instead of using surgery or drugs, developed an intensive program of affirmations, visualization, nutritional cleansing and psychotherapy. Within six months she was cancer free.

In 1984 she published her book titled You Can Heal Your Life based on her own experiences and included the information she talked about in her work shops. It explains how our beliefs and ideas about ourselves are often the cause of our emotional problems and physical maladies and how, by using certain tools, we can change our thinking and our lives for the better.

It reached the New York Times bestseller list and stayed there for 13 consecutive weeks.

To date, over 35,000,000 copies of the books have been sold. But she didn’t stop there. She then became the head of Hay House , a prosperous corporation that has sold more than ten million books and tapes since it started. It includes authors such as Wayne Dyer, Doreen Virtue, among others. This was a venture she started in her living room.

She then proceeded to start the Hay Foundation and The Louise L. Hay Charitable Fund, two non-profit organizations established by Louise that support many diverse organizations, including those dealing with AIDS, battered women, and other challenged individuals in our society.

Now at 81 years old, she had just come out with her first movie release titled, You Can Heal Your Life: The Movie.

So let’s do a quick rundown shall we?
