UnderstandingtheLawofAttractionisthekeytocreatingthelifeofyourdreams.

The Law of Attraction is the most powerful law in the universe. Just likegravity,itisalwaysineffect,alwaysinmotion.Itisworkinginyourlifeatthisverymoment.

Simply put, the Law of Attraction says that you will attract into your lifewhateveryoufocuson.Whateveryougiveyourenergyandattentiontowillcomebacktoyou.So,ifyoustayfocusedonthegoodandpositivethingsinyour life, youwill automatically attractmore good and positive things intoyourlife.Ifyouarefocuseduponlackandnegativity,thenthatiswhatwillbeattractedintoyourlife.

Youarewhatyouthinkaboutalldaylong.

So, understanding just how this law operates is a fundamental key to yoursuccess.Ifyouwanttochangeyourlife,andempoweryourself tocreateanamazing future, then you need to understand your role in the Law ofAttraction.

Here’showitworks:Likeattractslike.Ifyouarefeelingexcited,enthusiastic,passionate,happy,joyful,appreciative,orabundant,thenyouaresendingoutpositiveenergy.Ontheotherhand,ifyouarefeelingbored,anxious,stressedout, angry, resentful, or sad, you are sending out negative energy. Theuniverse,throughtheLawofAttraction,willrespondenthusiasticallytobothof these vibrations. It doesn’t decide which one is better for you, it justresponds towhateverenergyyouarecreating,and itgivesyoumoreof thesame. You get back exactly what you put out there. Whatever you arethinkingandfeelingatanygiventimeisbasicallyyourrequesttotheuniverseformoreofthesame.Becauseyour energyvibrationswill attract energyback toyouof the samefrequencies, you need to make sure that you are continually sending outenergy,thoughts,andfeelingsthatresonatewithwhatyouwanttobe,do,andexperience.Yourenergyfrequenciesneedtobeintunewithwhatyouwanttoattract in your life. If love and joy are what you want to attract, then thevibrationalfrequenciesofloveandjoyarewhatyouwanttocreate.

Thinkof it thisway—it’s a lot like transmitting and receiving radiowaves.Yourfrequencyhastomatchthefrequencyofwhatyouwanttoreceive.Youcan’t tune your radio to 98.7 on your FM dial and expect to get a stationbroadcastingon103.3.Itjustwon’thappen.Yourenergyhastosynchronizewith,ormatch,theenergyfrequencyofthesender.So,youhavetokeepyourvibrationtunedtoapositivefrequencyinordertoattractpositiveenergybacktoyou.

Anothergoodexampleisthatofatuningfork.Whenyoustrikeatuningforkyouactivate it to sendout aparticular soundor frequency.Now, in a roomfilled with tuning forks—only those that are tuned to the exact samefrequencywillbegintovibrateinresponse.Theywillautomaticallyconnect

and respond to the frequency thatmatches theirown.So the ideahere is totune yourself to resonate at a frequency that is in harmony with what youwant to attract. In order to create a positive future, you need to keep yourenergy,thoughts,andfeelingsinthepositiverange.

You can learn to manage your thoughts and emotions and maintain avibrationalmatchforwhatyouwanttoattractbylearningtorespondinsteadof justreactingto thesituations inyour life.Mostofusgothroughlife justreacting automatically and unconsciously to the things and events that takeplacearoundus.Perhapsyou’rehavingaroughday,you’vegottenaflattire,ormaybesomeonehastreatedyouunfairly.Saythatyoureactinanegativeway to these situationswithyour thoughtsandyouremotions.Youbecomeangry,frustrated,orupset.Inthiscase,youareunconsciouslyreactingtothesituationinsteadofconsciouslyrespondingtoit,andyournegativelychargedthoughts and emotions are automatically placing anorderwith theuniverseformoreofthesamenegativeexperiences.Inordertocreateamorepositiveoutcome,youmustlearntoconsciouslyrespondinadifferent,morepositiveway.

Ifyoudowhatyou’vealwaysdone,you’llgetwhatyou’vealwaysgotten.

Since your vibrational state iswhat attracts the objects of your desire, it isimperativetokeepyouremotionsaspositiveaspossible.Strivetokeepyouremotions in the positive range—feelings like joy, love, happiness,exhilaration,satisfaction,relief,pride,appreciation,relaxation,andserenity.

These feelings will raise your vibrational level and create a “vibrationalmatch” for the experiences that you expect to have when your dreams docometofruition.Remember,likeattractslike.Thatwhichislikeuntoitselfisdrawn.So, by deliberately creating the positive emotional states thatmatchthefeelingswewillhaveonthecompletionandfulfillmentofourgoalsanddesires,wearecreatinganenergyfieldthatwillattractwhatwewant.Thisisalsowhylearningtorespondtocircumstancesinsteadofjustreactingtothem,andtherebymanagingyouremotionalmoods,issoimportant.

So, do the things thatmake you feel good—be passionate and enthusiasticaboutyour life!Whenyoufeelemotionsfullyanddeeply,youradiatemoreintense frequencies into the universe. The stronger and more intense yourfeelings are, the more accelerated the process of vibrational attractionbecomes.

Positiveandnegativeemotions.

Youmay have noticed thatwhen you are feeling grateful, happy, or joyful

there is a sense of lightness and expansion. You feel connected. You feelalive!Thisisyournaturalstateofbeing.Thisiswhatyourlifewasintendedtobe.Strivetoliveinastateofjoy,wonder,andgratitude.Theseexpansivepositiveemotionsfeelgoodandraiseyourvibrationalfrequency.Inthisplaceof loveand joy,youareonewithGod, andyouareamagnet for allof thebeautyandabundancethattheworldhastooffer.

Negativeemotions,ontheotherhand,suchashatred,anger,jealousy,andfearcreate theopposite effect.They loweryour vibrational frequency andmakeyou feel anxious, tense, and constricted. They can create physical ailmentsand disease. Negative emotions invariably create a sense of separation, afeelingofdisconnection.Theyarelikeastonewall—abarriertothejoythatis who you really are. These emotions will effectively block the flow ofpositive energy into your life and will only serve to attract more negativeenergy.

So, if you have been holding onto feelings of anger, fear, resentment, orbetrayal, now is the time to let them go. Release those old thoughts andpatternsofbehavior,andstartlivinginthepresent.Byfocusingonyourpainor anger, you are only drawing even more negative and unhealthycircumstancesintoyourlife.Youneedtomakeroomforthepositivefeelingsandexperiencesthatyouwanttoattract.

By repeating and visualizing your affirmations in this way, you aremaximizingtheeffectofeachoneandwhatitmeanstoyoupersonally.TheLaw of Attraction will respond to the energy of the thoughts, images, andfeelings created by each affirmation, and your subconscious mind willrespondby storing the newbeliefs and treating themas reality.Remember,your subconscious mind can’t tell the difference between what is real andwhatisvividlyimagined.

Ifyoufind thatnegativeor limiting responses, suchasdoubtorskepticism,keep emerging in yourmind as you are saying your affirmations, then youmaywant to use one of the releasing techniques we referred to in chapterthree.Youcanalsocreatenewaffirmationsthataretheoppositeofeachofthenegativethoughtsandaddthesetoyourdailyroutine.

Make a commitment to use your affirmations every single day. Let thembecome a personal ritual, something you look forward to.

(11)VISUALIZATION

Yourabilitytovisualizeyourdreamswillserveasacatalystintheircreation.

Visualization exercises and techniques are incredibly powerful. Somepsychologistsarenowclaimingthatonehourofvisualizationisworthsevenhoursofphysicaleffort.Remember,yoursubconsciousmindcannot tell thedifference between a real experience and a vividly imagined experience. Itcan’t differentiate between your remembering, pretending, or actuallyexperiencing the event. It responds to all of them equally. Through variousvisualization techniques you can fully experience any situation as though itwere real. You can create emotional and physiological responses to thesituation you are visualizing. Your subconscious mind will internalize thisinformation and store it as truth, and the universe will respond to thisvibrationalenergywiththemanifestationthatmatchesit.

Visualizationisdaydreamingwithapurpose.

BoBennett

Here is an example of a two part visualization exercise that paints a vividpicture in your mind and brings home the fact that your thoughts andemotionsinfluenceyourbody,aswell.

As you read part one, notice howyou feel emotionally and physically, andpay attention to how those feelings and sensations differ in part twoof theexample.

TheSkyscraperVisualization.

PartOne

Takeadeepbreathand letyourself relax . . . Imagine thatyouarestanding in the middle of a small terrace on the top of the tallestskyscraperintheentireworld.Also,imaginethatthisterracehasnorailing...thereisnothingatallbetweenyouandthatverticaldrop.Asyouare standing there, lookdownatyour feet andnoticewhatthe terrace is made out of. Are you standing on tile, concrete,asphalt,wood,orstone?Noticethat theweatherisnice.Thesunisshining, thereisasoftcoolbreeze,andyoucanfeel thewarmthofthesunonyourfaceandyourarms . . .whatnoisescanyouhear?Maybe there are somepigeonsor other birdsup there.Maybeyoucan hear a helicopter flying by or the street noises far below. . . .Now,walkouttotheveryedgeoftheterraceandputyourtoesrightagainsttheedge.Lookdownatthestreetfar,farbelow...seehowincrediblysmalleverythingappearstobefromwayuphere.Asyouaredoingthisnoticehowyouarefeeling....Now,slowlywalkbackto thecenterof the terrace . . . still remembering justhowyoufeltwhenyouwerestandingattheedgeandlookingdown.

Most people will notice some type of emotional and physical reaction. Youmayhave feltyourheart racing,yourpalmssweating,dizziness,ornausea.Youmayhaveexperiencedafeelingoftensionorfear.

PartTwo

Takeadeepbreathandletyourselfrelax...imagineoncemorethatyou are standing on top of the same terrace, on top of the sameskyscraper as before, only this time you have beautiful whitefeatheredwings,andyouaretotallyconfidentinyourabilitytofly.Yourealizethatyouaretotallysafe....So,letyourselfwalktotheedge of the terrace andwhen you get there, just gently bend yourknees,pushoff,andfly....Noticewhatitfeelsliketofly—feelthewindrushingbeneathyourwingsasyousoarandglideeffortlessly

Compare thedifferentemotionalandphysical reactionsyou felt inpartoneand part two of the visualization. Notice the lightness, joy, and sense ofexpansionyoufeelinparttwoofthisexample.

Now,thinkaboutthisforamoment.Youhaven’tgoneanywhere,youhaven’tlefttheroom,you’veonlytakenafewminutestovisuallyimaginethesetwoexperiences, andyet youprobably felt verydistinct anddifferent emotionalandphysiological changesoccurring.Thevivid imagesyou created in yourmindwere completely real to your subconsciousmind, and it responded toyourimaginedexperiencesonanemotionalandphysiologicallevelasthoughtheywereactuallyoccurring.

Dr.NormanVincentPeale

Now, we all know people with negative attitudes. They are the ones whoconstantlycomplain,whine,andmoan.Nothingseems togoright for them.Theyare theperpetualvictims in life.They’reunpleasant tobearound,andthey seem to quite literally “bring us down.” This is because they areoperatingat a lower frequency, and through theLawofAttraction they areattractingevenmoretocomplainabout.Thereasontheytendtostay“stuck”in their negative lifestyles is because they are constantly focusing theirthoughtsandenergyontheirnegativepresentandnegativepast.Bydoingso,they are creating the same future over and over. Remember, what youcontinuallytalkaboutcomesabout.

On the other hand, we also know people with positive attitudes—the ones

whoalwaysseemtobehappy,theoneswhoreallyseemtohaveahandleonthingsintheirlife.Theyaremorefun,theirenergyfeelsgreattobearound,and they are operating at a higher frequency. Good things always seem to“just come their way.” No wonder they are happy! Through the Law ofAttraction, they are actively participating in the creation of a happy life byfocusingonandappreciatingthepositiveaspectsoftheircurrentlife,andtheyhavepositiveexpectationsforagreatfuturelife.

AbrahamLincoln

Surroundyourselfwiththesepositive,nourishing,upliftingpeoplewheneveryou can. Spend your time with spiritually evolved people who love andsupportyouinhealthyways—thosewhoencourageyourgrowthandapplaudyour successes.Wrap yourself in a support network of inspirational peoplewithpositiveattitudesandenergy.

You may also want to consider finding a place of worship, charityorganization,or someothergroup that is inalignmentwithyourdesires forpersonal growth. You can also form your own small group of people whosharecommoninterestsandgoals.There ispower innumbers,andahighermindsetbecomespresentwithagroupsuchasthis.Bygatheringtogetherona regular basis with a stated purpose and intention youwill all experiencegreater growth and results in a shorter period of time. The assembly of amastermind group like this provides a unique forum for shared ideas,feedback,brainstorming,honesty,accountability,andinspiration.Ithasbeena proven tool for growth and success on a business level for many years.HenryFord,ThomasEdison,NapoleonHill,HarveyFirestone,andAndrewCarnegiewereallmembersofsimilarmastermindgroups.

ThomasEdison

So, how do we deal with the negative people in our lives? First of all,remember that you are not responsible for their level of growth orconsciousness.You can only be an example to them and keep your energyvibration as high as possible.You cannot teach them anything they are notreadyorwillingtolearn.Keepinmind,however,thatnobodyiscompletelynegative. You can focus on the good qualities that do exist in them andappreciatethequalitiestheyhavethatareworkingwithinthecontextofyourrelationship.Youcanalsoacknowledgethethingsaboutthemthatyoudolikeor admire, and thismay encourage them to expressmore of those positivequalities.

Don’t judge the negative people in your life—simply limit your time andinteractionwiththemasmuchaspossible(avoidthemcompletelyifyoucan)and try to be an example of a more positive attitude. Obviously, if thesepeople are family members or coworkers it is difficult to avoid themaltogether,butdoyourbesttoavoidanyissuesofconflict,keepyourattitudepositive,anddon’tengageyourselfemotionallyinconflictwhenitdoesarise.Ultimately, youwill need to decidewhether or not youwant to keep theserelationshipsinyourlifeatall.
