Law of Attraction and Manifesting Your Desires

The feng shui tradition teaches that wealth and prosperity require the correct attitude and conditions. You struggle with prosperity when there are obstacles to the flow of chi in your home or workplace. Removing obstacles and freeing energy is part of applying feng shui. Prosperity is not just about having money or things, it is about achieving a consistent feeling of abundance and security. The spiritual view of abundance is not simply about financial wealth, but about abundance in all good things in life: family, health, balance.

Whatever your goals may be, feng shui is a tool to help you reach them. Your environment affects your thought patterns. If the environment remains static, you are likely to get bogged down as well. If you want to achieve wealth and prosperity you need an environment that works with you, not against you. This is where feng shui comes in. When energy is moving freely, it can carry you forward towards your goals. You want an environment that reflects who you are and where you are going, that embodies an intention to action. Your environment should be symbolic of the prosperity you want.

Ironically, one of the first steps in using feng shui to bring prosperity is removing clutter in your life and your environment. Extra stuff that blocks doors and windows, old clothes and furniture collecting dust mites, can stymie you. feng shui instructs you to remove these obstacles and free your space. Dead plants, broken furniture, unfinished projects do not contribute to expanding your wealth and well-being, but instead hold negative energy. Clutter is anything that is unfinished, unresolved, unused. Using feng shui, you address the clutter to free yourself. While clutter slows down chi energy, sometimes the energy in your environment can be moving too fast, like money flying out the door. Feng shui principles help restore balance between these two troublesome scenarios.

Feng shui involves not only removing obstacles but adding positive energy. Items that bring good energy contribute to prosperity. Positive inspirational objects and symbols of wealth, from coins to family photos, can contribute to creating the right kind of energy in your home. Feng shui principles guide you in adding the colors, objects and special features to your home and workplace that contribute to prosperity. Feng shui even identifies the “wealth corner” in your home, a place that needs to be kept orderly and clean and designed to bring positive, prosperous thoughts to mind.

In adding positive symbols and energies to your environment, you are not focusing on what you do not have, or on a feeling that you do not have enough. Wanting and feeling unsatisfied do not contribute to prosperity. With feng shui you are focusing on gratitude, which creates a sense of abundance. Feng shui shows you how to surround yourself with symbols of prosperity and wealth and full your environment with positive, forward-moving energy that will help you realize your goals.

Now (not at the end of the year) is a good time to check in with your wealth goals. Notice I did not say career, work or money goals. Wealth is the abundance of anything.

If you are reading this, there is a pretty good chance that you have set goals you wanted to achieve this year either formally or in your head. I usually set quarterly goals that support the year goals, as well. Being specific about your wealth goals is definitely the most important step in the process. But it can’t stop there. You have got to be in action. The actions must be totally aligned with the goal. But in order to take the right action for your goal, your head must be thinking thoughts that align with the goal. If your head isn’t thinking like a wealthy person, how in the heck do you think you will ever be wealthy?

Quite frankly, I’m sick and tired of watching people struggle along their path to their wealth goals. I am very clear that it’s your personal perspective that causes you pain, rather than the events or the absence of events in your life. Now, I completely admit that I am the first to get irritated when I find myself in some money glitch. I get angry because I know better and it’s this emotional knee jerk reaction when I find that I want more money than I have. My emotional reaction is not at the money, but the fact that I even reacted to money. For goodness sakes, money is actually easy to attract or even to stumble upon. It is only our perspective that makes it hard or easy to obtain. When I get committed to acting like a powerful woman and start thinking like a wealthy person, I am surrounded by abundance of all things. My friends even tease me about how easy I manifest. But when I forget to act wealthy, it is downright painful.

I went off track there for moment, so let’s get back to evaluating where you are with your wealth goals. Let’s say you wanted to achieve a certain amount of sales in your business this year, say $500,000, you wanted to buy a duplex as a rental property, and you wanted to go on a three-week vacation to Europe. Maybe you also wanted to feel more at ease and trusting with regard to your relationship with money. It wouldn’t really serve you to set these goals and then check on them at the end of the year. You would need to constantly ask yourself, the following:

- Am I thinking like a person who thinks they are worthy of having big sales while staying in balance?
- Am I taking actions that would support making $500,000 in sales this year?
- Do I have an anxious feeling about money or am I in complete confidence that I will have all that I need?
- Am I using all of my resources to make this easy?
- Who else has expertise in this area?
- What are out of the box or off the beaten path ideas in relation to my goals?
- Who is keeping me accountable to what I say?
- How much attention do I give my goals each week (both in my mind and taking action)?
- Do I have systems in place to support $500,000 in sales?
- Do I have a plan of action for each goal?
- Does my plan work for me?
- What thought patterns do I still have that are not supporting my goal?
- What new practices or habits do I have to be fierce about practicing?
- Am I spending more time focused on the end results or perceived obstacles?

You can probably create more of your own empowering and clarifying inquiries to support you. You need to be willing to answer truthfully because I think it is easy to be dishonest with yourself and not know it. I’m not even talking about denial. There are just some things we can’t see when we are in the middle of it. You must be willing to have a bird’s eye view of the situation and your life. This is where a coach or partner is invaluable. They have an outside view, and they are not emotionally attached to your goal. They are objective (well, at least most of the time they are!).

At any point during the year you have to be willing to change your path. If you were driving to a wedding and knew you made a wrong turn, would you continue going in the wrong direction? No! You’d correct your course. Sometimes you may even have change the goal, but that’s a whole different topic. It is not to late to achieve a goal that you set for this year. Haven’t taken any action on the duplex goal? Maybe one of the obstacles is not having enough money for the down payment or closing costs. I guarantee, if you go out and look for duplex deal that fits your criteria, you will be motivated to find a way to create the money to do the deal. Wealthy people know there is always a solution. You have to have confidence that you will find the solution. From that perspective, you will start thinking of kinds of creative ideas to get the cash. You have to be willing to not be attached to the way the deal plays out. Just keep your focus on the goal and what this property will make for you, knowing you will only say yes to something that feels good.

Let’s say you are in a service business, like me. I do have learning products, but most of my revenue comes from me being in front of people, whether it’s on the phone coaching or teaching a live workshop. Honestly, I will not be set up for true wealth just by coaching people one on one. It means that my wealth would depend on those 10 people and it’s on a month-to-month basis. And, unless I plan on charging each client a million dollars each a year, my income is pretty limited. If I take a month off to go to Europe, then I don’t get paid. This is a great indicator that I need to think of a different path. So, now I put on my thinking cap and decide that I should put a bigger emphasis on creating & selling products, coaching and doing workshops with bigger groups and creating “Jeanna” in a box. Meaning more people have access to my coaching and teaching, without me having to be in front of people live 6 days a week.

The famous question that most seminars, books and coaches ask is still one of the best, “If you continue being and doing what you are doing now, will you get to where you want to go?” If so, will you feel good in the process? I know many years ago, when I was a workaholic, I could have reached my goals, but my personal life was suffering and relaxation was something I only dreamt of. So, that path had to change. One of the biggest ways to change your path to the desired goal is simply be willing to have no regrets about what you have or have not done thus far. “So what, now what?!” Is another great question? It means, get off the past, except to get the lessons learned to make things better now. Let it go and get present to this moment.

Many times, there are very valid reasons why our goals are still off in the distance. Not good or bad. For instance, a couple of years ago, my life was mostly focused on my personal life rather than my business. My business was still very much a passion but my relationship was getting most of the attention because it felt like a crisis. Therefore, there was less attention on other goals. Was there other ways to handle my situation? Of course! The point here is, get here, in this present moment, and choose how you want to move forward. It’s never too late, and you never miss your ship. Abundance is knowing that you have, and always will have, all that you need. It’s only your perspective that plays the worst tricks on your emotional state. Money is only one aspect of wealth, and I want you all to get your emotional charge off it. Money, goals and relationships are taken way too seriously. We can have fun with all of them. We kill off our creativity when we get really heavy and place too much importance on things.

Take some time this week to evaluate your path. Be willing to change your thinking and/or actions. Throw in some fun and get support from wherever you feel best. Lots of great things are ahead for you.

This is the first chapter of the famous book of Wallace Wattles called The Science of Getting Rich. It was published in 1910. Many motivational and inspirational speakers have been inspired by The Science of Getting Rich. Rhonda Byrne, the author and producer of the famed book and movie The Secret claimed that her inspiration for The Secret was The Science of Getting Rich.

The book teaches about thinking, acting, and doing things in a Certain Way so you will become rich. It mentions a formless substance that is inexhaustible and that by thinking, acting and doing things in a Certain Way, we can manipulate it into something that we desire. Although it does not mention the law of attraction, I think The Science of Getting is basically referring to the same concept.

The Science of Getting Rich has been greatly exploited in the internet. Since this is already a public domain, copies of The Science of Getting Rich is a dime a dozen in the world wide web. There is even a network business that uses the book’s name. I just hope for the members’ sake that it will really work to their advantage and that they will not just be working so the founders will get richer.

The first chapter is called the The Right to be Rich. It is one of my most favorite chapters of the book because the truthfulness of Wattles’ words about why we have the right to be rich is undeniable. The most striking line for me is, “The purpose of Nature is the advancement and unfoldment of life; and every man should have all that can contribute to the power; elegance, beauty, and richness of life; to be content with less is sinful.”

At the end of this post is an action guide based on my interpretation of The Right to be Rich.

WHATEVER may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich. No man can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money; for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have these things unless he has money to buy them with.

A man develops in mind, soul, and body by making use of things, and society is so organized that man must have money in order to become the possessor of things; therefore, the basis of all advancement for man must be the science of getting rich.

The object of all life is development; and everything that lives has an inalienable right to all the development it is capable of attaining.

Man’s right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual, and physical unfoldment; or, in other words, his right to be rich.

In this book, I shall not speak of riches in a figurative way; to be really rich does not mean to be satisfied or contented with a little. No man ought to be satisfied with a little if he is capable of using and enjoying more. The purpose of Nature is the advancement and unfoldment of life; and every man should have all that can contribute to the power; elegance, beauty, and richness of life; to be content with less is sinful.

The man who owns all he wants for the living of all the life he is capable of living is rich; and no man who has not plenty of money can have all he wants. Life has advanced so far, and become so complex, that even the most ordinary man or woman requires a great amount of wealth in order to live in a manner that even approaches completeness. Every person naturally wants to become all that they are capable of becoming; this desire to realize innate possibilities is inherent in human nature; we cannot help wanting to be all that we can be. Success in life is becoming what you want to be; you can become what you want to be only by making use of things, and you can have the free use of things only as you become rich enough to buy them. To understand the science of getting rich is therefore the most essential of all knowledge.

There is nothing wrong in wanting to get rich. The desire for riches is really the desire for a richer, fuller, and more abundant life; and that desire is praise worthy. The man who does not desire to live more abundantly is abnormal, and so the man who does not desire to have money enough to buy all he wants is abnormal.

There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three–body, mind, or soul–can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression. It is not right or noble to live only for the soul and deny mind or body; and it is wrong to live for the intellect and deny body or soul.

We are all acquainted with the loathsome consequences of living for the body and denying both mind and soul; and we see that real life means the complete expression of all that man can give forth through body, mind, and soul. Whatever he can say, no man can be really happy or satisfied unless his body is living fully in every function, and unless the same is true of his mind and his soul. Wherever there is unexpressed possibility, or function not performed, there is unsatisfied desire. Desire is possibility seeking expression, or function seeking performance.

Man cannot live fully in body without good food, comfortable clothing, and warm shelter; and without freedom from excessive toil. Rest and recreation are also necessary to his physical life.

He cannot live fully in mind without books and time to study them, without opportunity for travel and observation, or without intellectual companionship.

To live fully in mind he must have intellectual recreations, and must surround himself with all the objects of art and beauty he is capable of using and appreciating.

To live fully in soul, man must have love; and love is denied expression by poverty.

A man’s highest happiness is found in the bestowal of benefits on those he loves; love finds its most natural and spontaneous expression in giving. The man who has nothing to give cannot fill his place as a husband or father, as a citizen, or as a man. It is in the use of material things that a man finds full life for his body, develops his mind, and unfolds his soul. It is therefore of supreme importance to him that he should be rich.

It is perfectly right that you should desire to be rich; if you are a normal man or woman you cannot help doing so. It is perfectly right that you should give your best attention to the Science of Getting Rich, for it is the noblest and most necessary of all studies. If you neglect this study, you are derelict in your duty to yourself, to God and humanity; for you can render to God and humanity no greater service than to make the most of yourself.
