The Secret - Law of Attraction

Allowing And The Law Of Attraction

2008-07-15T08:46:00.000-07:00

As we learn more about using the Law of Attraction consciously in our lives, we become masters at visualizing, affirming, and attracting what we desire. We learn how to infuse our desires with emotion and power, we learn how to raise our vibrations through joyful thoughts and align ourselves more fully with the circumstances we want to bring about.

However, most of us forget one crucial step in the process: allowing. Allowing is a multi-faceted phase in the creation process, and it can be confusing for those of us who haven't had much exposure to the concepts.

In generations past, hard work was a way of life. In some cases, it was the ONLY way of life. Like many of you, I come from a long line of hard workers: Maine lobstermen and fishermen, lighthouse keepers, factory workers, seamstresses, midwives, housekeepers, and public servants. My ancestors were proud of their ability to roll up their sleeves and put in a hard day's work to keep food on the table and clothing on their children's backs. Hard work was simply a fact of life, not something to be resented, just something that must be done, like breathing or sleeping when the sun went down.

Through the examples of my forebears, I was taught that nothing comes freely in life. If I want something, it's up to me to put my nose to the grindstone and work for it. This isn't a bad thing, and I don't want to diminish the accomplishments of those who paved the way for us.

However, the more deeply we delve into Law of Attraction principles, the more we realize that there is another way. Some would call it a better way, but let us see it simply as an alternate path to a similar destination. What is this alternate path? ALLOWING.

As we just covered, action is needed at the beginning stages of conscious creation. We know we need to visualize our desires, affirm our belief in a new reality, raise our vibrations (thoughts) and come into alignment with the end result so it can manifest in our lives. What most of us do then is take further action to encourage our new circumstances to form physically. We might work harder to make more money, or we might join a dating service to meet the partner of our dreams. There is nothing wrong with these actions, except the belief that we need to "do" anything to make our desires manifest.

That's where allowing comes in. What if, after we've visualized, affirmed, and expressed our desires to the universe, we simply let go? What happens then? Most of us are under the impression that nothing would happen. Ah, but we can ALLOW the universe to manifest exactly what we desire. That's the beauty of the Law of Attraction. We don't HAVE to make things happen, we can simply allow the universe to deliver our desires fully formed and neatly wrapped in a beautiful package with a bow on top.

So how do we allow? There are three key parts to allowing:

1) Let go of the "how." This seems to contradict the creation process, because isn't the whole point to control the outcome? It may seem so at the beginning, but as most of us go along, we eventually realize that the more we try to control the outcome, the less circumstances seem to work in our favor. By consciously letting go of HOW the universe will manifest our wishes, we affirm that our desired outcome is already a done deal. There's no need to beg, manipulate, or control the situation because it already exists in perfect form. We simply need to let go and trust that the universe will deliver it to us in the most beautiful and beneficial way possible.

2) Let go of the "when." This is one of the most difficult things to do because we want what we want right NOW. We don't want to wait for divine timing or anything else. Unfortunately, our very impatience can delay the process. Why? Because by wanting it right now, we place emphasis on the "wanting." Remember, we create what we focus on the most! If we focus on wanting, we create more want. By affirming that

our desires will manifest at exactly the right time, we automatically focus more on trust and faith. We believe that our deepest heart's desires are on their way to us, and guess what happens? They come more quickly.

3) Appreciate. It can be hard to appreciate what we have when we're not happy with our lives, but once again, it's all about what we focus on and what we attract. The more appreciative we can be about our existing circumstances, the more we will attract things to appreciate. If you have to, start with something small and obvious. Each morning when you awake, say something like, "I appreciate the opportunity to live another day. I appreciate the bed I slept in all night. I'm grateful that I can take a hot shower and put on clean clothes today." As you go about your day, take a moment to appreciate everything you can, no matter how small and insignificant it may seem. Over time, this puts you in a gratitude mindset and will begin to attract more and more things to appreciate - and more often than not, those things continue to get bigger and bigger the more you keep up with this practice.

So, does this mean that we never have to work hard again? We can just sit back and "allow" the universe to give us everything we want? Yes, and no. There is one more important point that ties in to the concept of allowing, and that is taking inspired action. Occasionally, after we have expressed our desires to the universe and we've begun "allowing" them into our lives, the universe will provide a way for US to bring about what we want, rather than simply plopping it into our laps fully formed.

In this case, we will usually feel a nudge in a certain direction. We might be inspired to start a business, buy a lottery ticket, attend a lecture, read a particular book, or any number of other actions. If we act immediately on these nudges, circumstances usually shift and opportunities appear. These opportunities usually create an opening that can help us to manifest our desires simply and easily, and often quickly.

However, remember that inspired action shouldn't be painful or difficult. It should feel wonderful and inspiring. You will feel excited about it, and eager to do it. That's how you can tell whether you are being inspired to take a particular action, rather than feeling like you "have to" do it in order to get what you want.

Simply let go, relax, and allow the creation process to unfold exactly as it will. If you feel inspired to act, act. If not, just trust that the universe has your highest good in mind. Believe that, and let it guide your every step!

How To Combine Positive Thinking And The Law Of Attraction

2008-06-20T08:44:00.000-07:00

The 'Law of Attraction' is at the very corner stone of positive thinking. It is one of the reasons why positive thinking works so well. In a nutshell it can be explained as:

"You are what you think. You attract what you think; your life is a product of your thought and belief; nothing in the world can change this fact. To alter your life the only course open to you is to alter your thinking."

As described by U.S Anderson author of 'Three Magic Words'.

What he is saying is that whatever thoughts you hold in your mind persistently will eventually appear in your physical world.

Why is that then?

Well that is a good question and there are a few theories. However whatever the reason - it is the law and always works so you might as well use it whether you understand why it works or not.

Think about your own life now. What thoughts do you consistently hold in your mind and think about regularly. Do any of these ring a bell?

'I hate my job. It’s too stressful and it tires me out’

'I think I'm coming down with a cold.'

'I never have any spare money to me treat my friends and family with'.

I hope it is obvious to see that thoughts like those will inevitably attract the same negative situations into your life. For surely, if you hate your job then you will never be able to see the positive opportunities that it may offer you. If you are so firm in the belief that nothing good could ever come of your job then you are blinded to the potentially positive opportunities it may be offering you and only open to the negative possibilities.

These negative thoughts hold so many people locked in to certain situations and lifestyles. People think they can never escape them…. so they never do.

How can we turn this around?

Well, take a few moments just to sit and observe your thoughts. Do you create them? No, I don't think so, but you certainly do have them. Do you decide what thoughts come in to your mind? Again I don't think so, they are more like a constant stream that continuously flows through your mind. We seem to simply latch on to and dwell on the thoughts that we choose.

So what thoughts do you think we should dwell on. The good thoughts or the bad/negative ones. Obviously the good/positive ones. If a negative thought comes in to your mind consciously let it go and replace it with a positive one, if another comes do the same. You will be amazed at how this one simple technique can improve your life as you will no longer be allowing negative thoughts to influence you.

Consciously decide here and now that you are in charge of your thoughts, that you decide what thoughts you dwell on.,, not any other influence...not your friends, colleagues at work or who ever....you are now in charge of your thoughts and your life!

And guess what...thoughts attract similar thoughts. So if you are thinking positively about something then another positive thought will usually follow. Once you start consciously deciding to think positively then it will become a habit and a pattern. You will constantly and automatically start choosing the positive thoughts. It will become a natural thing for you to do.

This is how some people always seem optimistic. Once you have gotten into this positive thinking cycle then those thoughts inevitably attract the positive reality into your physical world.

Here are a few pointers to bear in mind:

You have to constantly think certain thoughts for them to manifest in your life, they don't always happen straight-away. Some do, some don't it depends what they are. You must also think the positive thought as though you are certain that it has already happened with complete faith. Through holding these positive thoughts in your mind sooner or later they will become real in your life.

Finally remember: YOU are in charge of your thoughts nobody else! So use positive thinking and the 'Law Of Attraction' starting from today.

Your thoughts are prayers

2008-05-16T01:20:00.000-07:00

This is one of our favorite universal principles and one that applies perfectly to the area of relationships.

In one of the larger Unity churches in the country the following song was sung at every service and we want to share these precious words with you:

Our thoughts are prayers and we are always praying.
Our thoughts are prayers listen to what you're saying.
Seek a higher consciousness, a place of righteousness.
And know that God is always there.
And every thought becomes a prayer.

This song is an easy way to remember that your thoughts create your present and future. Your life and your relationships are determined by your choices of thoughts. What you choose to focus and direct your attention to and where you spend your mental and emotional energies -- is precisely what you will attract or draw to yourself. And the Universe always provides.

You are God energy, the creator of your life. You are the one who reaches upward, grows spiritually, and connects with your Higher Self. You create your reality through your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs which determine your vibration and thus the people you attract to your life. Everything in your life comes from thoughts or feelings you have, for your inner world of thoughts and feelings creates your outer world of events, objects, and relationships. Because you create your own reality, you can choose any reality you want.

Now this isn't the first time that you've heard this principle, but have you ever thought to apply it to the area of relationships?

So what are your thoughts (prayers) about relationships? Are they hopeful or despairing?

Do you spend your time thinking about how wonderful the perfect relationship will be or are you feeling like you will never attract that wonderful person?

Suggestions:

Focus your thoughts on what you want to have in a relationship.

Get excited!

Feel good and know that what you want is yours now.

Feel the love of your life with you now.

Dismiss any thoughts of lack which may creep in such as "oh, he or she doesn't exist" or "that there just isn't someone for me because I am too different, or old, or young, or tall or skinny" or whatever else your mind can come up with. Simply let those thoughts go and keep focusing on your desires. Focus only on the feelings you want.

This principle is so simple and so powerful!

Daydreaming, Let's have a little fun today!

2008-05-07T02:19:00.000-07:00

Remember, way back when you were a kid, daydreaming about things and experiences you wanted in your life? Daydreaming is fun, but it's also a remarkably magical way to become completely receptive to your desires. Daydreams DO come true.

Imagine your next relationship is everything you could ever want ...
How fun would it be to be in a relationship with someone who thinks like you do?
This very thing has happened to hundreds of others on our site. Why not you?

How fun would it be to be in a relationship where there is no need to compromise, because you both want the exact same things?

How fun would it be to know that your relationship is built on such a solid foundation that nothing could shake it? What if it was filled with love and passion?

When you have a mate who really appreciates you and you feel the same, it's truly awesome.

How fun would it be to have a partner who understands the Law of Attraction and wants to co-create an amazing future together?

When you apply the Law of Attraction to creating and attracting a romantic and spiritual partnership, it's important to remember that relationships are supposed to be, above all else, easy and fun!

Feel the relationship you desire as if you are already in it.

Play with it. Make it better and better with every thought.

You WILL attract the relationship of your dreams!

... now, how fun will THAT be?

7 Steps To Manifesting More Money Into Your Life Effortlessly & Easily Using The Law Of Attraction

2008-04-12T23:22:00.000-07:00

The most obvious step to manifesting more money is to "make" more money. The first thing that may come into your mind is to either work over-time at your current job or business, or get a second (or third job). Although, these are some very effective ways to increase your cash-flow, they may not lead to an increased money consciousness into your life.

Let me explain. You can get a second job or work more hours in your current job, or business, but then you could turn around and spend more money than you are currently. Many people are caught in this viscous cycle of spending and owing. They can't seem to make the money that is coming in work for them. They wonder if the law of attraction is really working in their lives.

If this may have been the case with you, then you will benefit from the following steps, so that you can manifest more prosperity into your life using the law of attraction.

If you have seen The Secret Movie, then you may have an idea of how to use the law of attraction to manifest more money. Basically, it's called repeated focus.

Step 1. Focus on money. Money is your friend. You have to develop a healthy love for money. Many people are afraid of loving money, because they confuse a healthy love for money with greed or arrogance. This couldn't be further from the truth. A healthy love of money is the same as the love of flowers, cars, chocolate ice cream, your pet, family, friends, or anything else in this beautiful universe that makes life worth living. When it comes to using the law of attraction, it's all about balance and being open to receiving more.

In short, the law of attraction states that like attracts like. We are all like magnets, attracting those things that we think, feel and see inside our consciousness on a consistent basis.

Therefore, make it a point to meditate on money every day. Take at least 30 minutes to an hour each day to get into the feeling of having more than enough money. Envision actual money in your hands. If this is hard for you to do, then start by envisioning it for your friends and loved ones. Imagine them with more than enough money and living a happy life. The more you do this, the easier it gets to think of yourself this way too.

Step 2: Eliminate debts. Set up an automatic payment system for all your credit card bills and debts that you owe. This way you are taking care of what you owe and you are free to focus on manifesting money and abundance.

Step 3: Create A Budget - Sit down and write out your monthly money income. Then on a separate sheet of paper sit down and write out your monthly costs and expenses. Then create a reasonable budget that you can handle, while at the same time cutting unnecessary expenses.

Step 4: Cut Down on Unnecessary Expenses - Do you really have to buy that cup of coffee every morning before going to work? What about eating out? Can you eat at home more often, thereby saving the cost of having to dine out all the time? What about impulse buying? Can you make a list before going to the store and then buy exactly what is on that list?

Step 5: Increase Your Income. The most obvious way is to work more hours at the job or take on more work in the business. But what about setting up multiple streams of income that flow in on an automatic and consistent basis? Many people have set up a home based business over the Internet using the law of attraction. In many cases, they have not had to work much more than usual to create multiple streams of income.

An excellent book that has helped me, is "The Science Of Getting Rich", by Wallace D. Wattles. In "The Science Of Getting Rich", you'll learn to tap into the plane of abundance. You'll learn that there is really no such thing as competition when it comes to building your home based business by using the law of attraction.

Increasing your cash flow does not have to mean struggle or hardship. It's all about how you view things. This is one of the things that The Secret Movie DVD did not go into detail about.

Also, another book I recommend is "The Laws Of Thinking: 20 Secrets To Using The Divine Power Of Your Mind To Manifest Prosperity", by Bishop E. Jordan. This book makes you realize that absolutely nothing happens without thought. This includes using the law of attraction to manifest prosperity.

Step 6: Save! Make it a habit to save. Even if you can only manage to save $1 every month, take that dollar and put it into savings. Don't touch your savings for at least a year. The more you save the easier it will get for you to save more. This is what I call the saving mentality. Sometimes emergencies are necessary, but the key to saving is balance.

Step 7: Become Thankful - look at the money that you already have. Become thankful that you have this! There are people who don't even have a fourth of what you have. By becoming thankful on a regular basis you focus on the good things you already have and give them a chance to expand and grow even more.

The above steps are just basic principles that you can use to manifest more money into your life effortlessly using the law of attraction. If you've seen "The Secret Movie DVD", then you'll remember that the law of attraction is a very powerful principle. With continued persistence and dedication, you'll start harness the law of attraction and manifest a life of ever increasing money, success, and abundance.

I Love Myself For The First Time

2008-04-10T01:48:00.000-07:00

There is one power within you that is stronger than any other power. This power is the Supreme Power! When you use this power it will dissolve all chaos, it will wipe out all negativity, and it will cut through every single situation, unfailingly. Any situation of negativity in your life is simply the absence of this one almighty power. You can rely on it to obliterate every negative thing, because nothing can stand up against it. You can use it on yourself or anyone else, and the more you use it, the more powerful it becomes. You have an unlimited source of this power, which is the most magnetic substance in the entire Universe...

This Supreme Power within you is Love. Send it outwards, send it inwards, and then stand back and watch what happens to your life...

From Karina in California - 'I Love Myself For The First Time'

I sit here in tears of joy!

I don't remember how I attracted The Secret to me... I know I wanted to buy it for my sister and a friend for Christmas so they could "find themselves", and I ended up getting one for me and just started reading it. Not realizing that I was the one who needed to find myself.

My husband and I had decided that having me stay home to take care of the kids was better for them. Loved the first few months, but then I started devaluing myself, feeling depressed, unappreciated. By then I had started watching my niece, so I had two toddlers to take care of and an 8 year old. My niece and son started being so bad, my son was hitting, my niece would cry all day, and I was going insane! Depressed, hating my life, myself, and many times had thoughts of ending my life.

One night I was reading The Secret, the part about loving ourselves. I closed my eyes and saw myself hugging myself and loving me! Might sound weird, but that is how I visualized it. I cried, because I had never felt that much love for myself! I had always battled with weight issues. But I now love myself so much, and accept myself, and I shall ask and I shall receive!

The Secret has changed my life! I didn't realize how much negative energy I have had around me all my life! And I cry to realize that my kids behavior wasn't them - it was me!! I was bringing all this negative energy around me and them!

Now they are the sweetest little angels, they listen, don't hit, they only cry when they fall, etc. The relationship with my husband is better than ever, because when he compliments me I know it's true. Before I wouldn't believe, but now I know it is true!

I know this is just the beginning of my true life! I am thankful for all involved in making The Secret. It all makes sense now!

When there is a will, there is a way to true love

2008-03-16T06:51:00.000-07:00

Our story was years in the making...

We met the first time six years ago. We spotted each other across a patio full of people. We flirted, exchanged names... it ended there. The next week, he called every name in the book under my last name until he found me. The crazy thing was, I was at my mother's house - she stepped out so I answered her phone. It was him. Although I was flattered that he went to so much trouble to find me, I didn't accept his offer. My father was dying of cancer and I just didn't have the heart to date anyone.

A few months later, after my father died, my mother and I were trying to decide where to eat lunch. We stopped at a local restaurant, Spankey's. It was a random choice as we don't usually eat there. I walked in and there he was. Again, we flirted shamelessly across the restaurant. He left this time without getting my number.

A few months later we actually met again in a bar. We dated for a few months and broke up over a misunderstanding. We were apart for two years.

A year ago we got back together after running into each other at yet another random place. A few months after we were back together I found a diary from years back, and one of my goals from years ago was to meet the guy I saw at Spankey's. I guess I was asking for him all these years.

As you read this first Secret Story sharing through The Secret Scrolls, you will understand that any words of mine are a feeble attempt to capture the beauty of a human being's true story.

From Lauren in California - 'My Miracle Heart'

I received a call from a stranger about my inheritance. That's how I found out about my father's sudden, unexpected death. He was 53. He died from an aortic aneurism from a rare genetic heart disease called Marfan Syndrome. I went to the Chief of Cardiology at Cedars Sinai in Beverly Hills and found out that I had Marfans too.

Marfans is a genetic heart condition for which there is no cure, which often results in death from an aortic aneurism. It often strikes people early in life, usually in their 20s. I was 28.

I was devastated. I had 1st degree heart block and a heart murmur. I would need a pace maker as the heart block progressed to the 2nd degree, but the real concern was my aortic valve and the possibility of a rupture. I wouldn't be able to have children. My entire life to this point, I had been extremely athletic in competitive sports, from volleyball to swim teams to college tennis. I was completely into nutrition and fitness. After the news, I was truly terrified. Where I used to view myself as strong and positive, I now saw myself as weak and fragile, with what I was told was a "ticking time bomb in my chest". While I tried to stay my usual positive self, in the back of my mind I was always aware of the imminent danger and my inescapable mortality.

I lived with this fear, getting checked by my cardiologist twice a year for years, until I saw The Secret. I was due for another visit to the cardiologist right around that time. I was awestruck by the woman who cured herself from cancer and the man who healed himself from the plane crash. I decided right then and there that I was going to heal my heart. I believed it and knew it was possible.

I quickly banished any negative thoughts about my heart and refused to let them enter my mind anymore. Every night as I laid down in my bed, I placed my right hand on my heart and visualized a strong heart, and rehearsed in my mind my heart beating strong, looking and sounding the way a strong healthy heart was supposed to. Every morning when I woke up I said, "Thank you for my strong, healthy heart." I visualized the cardiologist telling me that I was cured. I didn't tell anyone what I was doing for fear of judgment or disbelief. I postponed my cardiologist appointment for about 4 months to give myself enough time to try this.

I went to the cardiologist, with my medical file full of past electrocardiograms and echocardiograms confirming my physical heart problems. Nervous and excited, I tried to calm myself as I got hooked up to the EKG, then got the sonogram.

The cardiologist came in with the test results completely dumbfounded. There was NO sign of a 1st degree heart block. There was NO heart murmur. There was NO expansion in my aorta. He checked and re-checked the old tests and the new one, now showing a perfectly healthy heart with no physical symptoms of Marfans! He had no explanation. I was ecstatic, but honestly, I was not surprised. It was exactly as I had envisioned. I literally RAN out of the cardiologist office across the lot to my car, feeling stronger and more alive than I ever have in my life.

I had previously bought my Mother a copy of The Secret. I called my Mom and told her exactly how I had used The Secret, and that I now have a healthy, strong, normal heart! I've never heard her cry so hard!

I can't express how grateful I am for my two young adopted daughters. Knowing that I will be alive to love them and raise them is everything to me. I live a life of gratitude and giving. I am truly blessed. Thank you to Rhonda Byrne and everyone else involved in bringing about The Secret. It has literally transformed my life, and continues to bring about miracles.

May the joy be with you,

Rhonda Byrne
The Secret... bringing joy to billions.
