If you've been living in the deepest jungles of Borneo then you may be completely in the dark regarding the Rhonda Byrne Film 'The Secret', you may have never heard of Esther and Jerry Hicks, Bob Proctor, Hale Dwoskin and Joe Vitale to name but a few proponents of the Universal Law of Attraction.
However, the fact that you are reading this right now would suggest to us that you are a seeker wishing to fill a desire for further information on the subject of the phenomenon known as 'The Law of Attraction'...
or possibly you just performed a search engine search for Borneo and jungle in which case...
Doh! The Law of Attraction - Background If you come to this article as one who has watched Rhonda Byrne's film 'The Secret' or who may have previously accessed other Law of Attraction works please bear with us -- the following couple of paragraphs may be news to some -- see the final sentence in the preceding paragraph.
The Law of Attraction is not a new concept -- though it has gained prominence over the past few decades -- its origins date back 4000 years, and possibly further, to the Hindu Monistic Theory of the Universe.
Put very simply, the Law of Attraction can be described as the belief that our thoughts literally become things, that we are attracting or creating our current life experiences based on all of our thoughts, whether we are conscious of it or not.
The power to manifest our desires is within us.
Much of today's teaching on the Law of Attraction is influenced by the book 'The Science of Getting Rich' by Wallace Wattles, first published in 1910, in which he states, "If you want a sewing machine (today's equivalent might be a Porsche -- Ed) hold the mental image of it with the most positive certainty that it is being made, or is on its way to you...
claim it as already yours".
The Law of Attraction interacts with our thoughts and is awarded the wings to soar via our emotions.
The stronger and more consistent our positive emotions, the quicker and more consistently we will manifest our desires.
How to Manifest Abundance like Rhonda Byrne Convince Yourself Do a little research - become consciously convinced that the law of attraction is real.
Remind Yourself Create a reminder that you did your research and were convinced of it.
Make a wallet sized flash card of some textual motivators or record or purchase an audio file to play back in your portable music player as and when required.
Count Your Blessings Be continually grateful -- FEEL the gratitude for all that you currently have, make a list, or simply start by being grateful for the knowledge of the Law of Attraction.
Having an attitude of gratitude changes your outlook from poverty consciousness to one of abundance.
Celebrate and promote your good feelings and increase your ability to attract towards yourself effortless abundance.
Remember that 'like attracts like' -- this element is critical, if you do nothing else, develop an attitude of gratitude in your life -- stop yourself in your tracks if you start to view yourself as one of life's victims.
Meditate Meditate on the good things you have already and allow the emotion of joy to well up within you for what the Law of Attraction has already provided.
Use Your Feelings Your feelings are an indicator of your current thinking.
Your thoughts send out a particular frequency to the Universe which ultimately attracts more of the same things vibrating at the same frequency.
Remain optimistic -- turn any negative mood on its head if you do become downhearted and start to slip towards pessimism or impatience.
Play motivational audio material, inspiring music, read uplifting literature, literally smile for 2 minutes or till you feel your negative mood has taken a positive turn.
Use whatever method that works for you to uplift your mood -- this element, also, is crucial.
Visualise the End Result Visualise briefly what you want to have in your life (focus on what you want, NOT what you DON'T want -- which can be counter productive).
Ask the Universe for it.
Is it better health you desire, more money, better relationships, a better home...
be specific, see in your mind's eye what you want, imagine that you already have it, FEEL the gratitude that it is already yours, then...
release it...
let it all go.
Let Go and Begin to Receive You don't need to strive continually for something that is already yours, relax, release the emotion, be at peace within yourself...
tell yourself you don't want it any longer and let go of the desire to have it -- be happy to let it go.
Why would you waste time chasing something that you already have.
Simply release your intentions to the Universe then trust, believe and be certain that you desires will be manifested.
The Universe is completely capable of providing in ways you can probably never imagine -- there is no need to cling to a list of wants.
Don't try to control the 'how' or 'when' of the outcome.
Universal abundance is not something you can control or manipulate, simply allow 'what is' and accept it.
Tell yourself, "I am receiving this now!" and be prepared to act on opportunities that miraculously open up to you.
Act as though you are in the process of receiving.
From Now On Be happy and FEEL happy about your current life and the life that will open up to you.
It's your life -- enjoy the journey.
