The Law Of Attraction - Is This The Whole Story?
You may well have heard of the Law of Attraction, a concept that infers that like attracts like. But what does this mean? For me, it means that if you wholeheartedly want something (and you do something about manifesting it) chances are that you'll get it.
But does the concept really work?
As a Life Coach I am hot on forward thinking and working towards what I call 'ideals'. An ideal is simply something positive that you want to see happen - it's a vision, a mission, a purpose, a goal.
A number of years ago I compiled one sheet of paper that contained my overall life purpose, my vision, my goals and a list of projects stemming from those goals. Everything I wrote down came from deep within me, and had been an integral part of me for years.
I have been looking at that sheet of paper almost daily since compiling it without thinking too much about how the things on the sheet were going to manifest.
The reason why I refer to the sheet so often is simply because it makes me feel good. It directs me and stirs me in a positive way. In short, it represents everything I want to manifest in my life.
More recently I attended a meeting with some colleagues and we talked about developing an enterprise. As the discussions went on I realized that much of what we were talking about resembled what was on my sheet.
On returning home I looked at the sheet and laughed. Practically everything I'd written down was covered in the meeting. This happened not because I was pushing my own agenda. It happened naturally because we were all of the same mindset with similar aspirations and wanting to achieve similar life and business goals... like attracting like.
I've now realized that everything I've aspired to may come to fruition by default if our enterprise is successful.
So does this concept of attraction really work? Yes I think so!
Now you could say that nothing I've put out there has yet come to fruition. This is true. However, the meeting showed me that things are already beginning to shift.
If I hadn't produced this sheet I doubt whether the conversation in that meeting would have gone the same way. I may well have been more easily led by the others around the table, because I would have had no real perspective of my own.
By clearly articulating my purpose, vision, goals and projects, and referring to them on a daily basis, my subconscious mind is already recognizing opportunities that will help to make these a reality. That meeting (and the subsequent enterprise idea) is one of those opportunities.
I do believe, however, that there are certain caveats to the concept:
Windows of Opportunity
Once you've clearly and specifically established where you want to go, windows of opportunity begin to open for you. It is for you to grab those opportunities and immediately take the action necessary to achieve your goals. Otherwise, those windows eventually close and the opportunity is lost.
Letting Go
I also believe an important element is that you let go of the outcome. Be OK with achieving your goals and aspirations, and with not achieving them. This is because, in my view, becoming desperate about your achievements pushes them away. Becoming more relaxed about them increases the chances of you achieving them. For me it's also about recognizing that your aspirations may not always manifest in the way you envision them - and being OK with this.
Giving It Time
I also think it's important to give yourself the time you need to manifest your ideal. Specific timeframes focus and galvanise you into action. However if those timeframes are unrealistic they could have the opposite effect. You may feel that if you've not reached your goal within the timeframe you've set yourself that you've somehow failed.
Allowing yourself the time to mature with your vision and grow to become the kind of person who can make it happen may well increase the chances of you succeeding.
So yes I believe the law of attraction works if:
· You're clear and specific about precisely what you want
· You focus daily on what you want
· You take full advantage of the opportunities that show up and do the work that's necessary
· You let go of the desperation and...
· You give it time

Becoming An Empowering Individual Now To Live The Life You Imagine (By James Nussbaumer)
There were very few tools available to me for finding inner power when I started learning to empower my career as an author.
For those who know my story, yes, I had to become an empowering individual from inside a prison where I 'd spent 8 long hellish years.
I had to do a lot of visualization meditation on my own, and when I was released from that hell on earth, and WOW did tools ever become available to me for things like finding inner peace and for manifesting my dreams.
Fast forward NOW and technology has become much more affordable and available.
Nowadays as an empowering individual, you can use tools to make your life easier, and you just have to pick the right ones.
Imagine being able to manifest your dream life. I mean without hard work or struggle.
Whether your wish is for more wealth, success, happiness, better relationships, good health.
I particularly like how the Power of Manifestation on autopilot will manifest happiness, prosperity and abundance.
You can do the opposite by using empowering affirmations that will shift forward your inner power to take action.
It's impossible to empower yourself and to attract abundance, happiness and wealth if you're focused on putting yourself down.
Here are some examples to try during your visualization meditation sessions:
Empowering affirmations that span across time: Think about what's already happened, what's happening now, and what's yet to come.
Put it all together like this:
-" BEFORE, I was in the dark and really broke, in the dumps and miserable and hated the world.
Use visualization meditation affirmations that are crystal clear and saying something like:
-" I am loved" or "I am powerful and blessed" is a good start, but they're a bit vague.
Previously I discussed tapping in to your real inner power now to bring forth prosperity and abundance and to live the life you imagine.
As for being blessed and powerful, you can say:
-" I'm blessed with infinite and powerful resources and opportunities, and my life is abundant and full."
Be sure you use affirmations with an attitude to empower, and another way to supercharge your subconscious is by being a little cheeky with your statements.
Adding some light hearted humor amplifies your signal and makes it easier for the Power of the Universe to hear your thoughts.
When you improve the quality of your thoughts and perceptions, to empower is as if your circumstances will rearrange itself on their own.
These changes to empower yourself will seem to happen without doing much on your part. The truth is that you're already doing the heavy lifting by disciplining your mind.
Empowering affirmations are those that use time as your partner.
The Course in Miracles teaches that, "The universe uses time on our behalf."
Think about what's already happened, what's happening now, and the life you are yet to lead as an empowering individual.
Starting today, you can apply these visualization meditation tips I've just shared with you to shift forward in your mind and reflect your inner creations to your material world.
The more you practice them, the bigger the shift will result from your efforts. I hope you make use of this knowledge to empower yourself so you can indeed get the life you want.
That said, begin to consider the ways to empower and start bringing results home.
(Please note I suggest searching the net fo further material on personal transformation uncovered now to release a scarcity mindset and live the life you imagine.)
To success at living the life you imagine!

Manifesting 101: What You Need To Do First!

Focusing on Love Versus Happiness
There are a lot of conversations these days that are focused on happiness. Happiness as a means of making significant successful changes in a person's life, and as the basis for building an ideal life on. If the job you are thinking of applying for doesn't make you happy then don't apply for it. Or if the person you are having a relationship with doesn't make you happy, then find someone who does to share your life with.
