Self-Hypnosis and the 3 Ways it Locks Hands With the Law of Attraction

2010-05-31T22:21:00.000-07:00

Hypnosis locks hands with the Law of Attraction in 3 ways.

The first is visualization. If you hypnotize yourself, presumably you're doing so for a reason. The likelihood is for more money, to lose weight, to stop smoking or any one of a hundred reasons where you feel you need improvement in your life. Let's say you want to stop drinking.

The interesting part is that it's suggested you never use negatives. Just like the Law of Attraction. You don't say; 'I'll never drink again.' 'I don't want alcohol to pass my lips from tonight onwards.'

You're sending negative messages to the subconscious, and this part of your mind can't differentiate. Like the Universe, it's neutral. By 'can't differentiate,' I mean that if you send a negative message, then that's precisely what the subconscious will accept. A negative. It can't sort out the nouance between the direct negative and the implied. So, when you're being taught self-hypnosis, you're always told to write down all your wishes and desires in the positive, and then repeat them.

Therefore, if you want to give up drinking, you write something to the effect of:

'From now on, all I drink are soft drinks, water, tea and coffee. I'm leaving alcohol alone. By this time next week, I'll be alcohol-free.' Very similar to the Law of Attraction, isn't it?

The second way it locks hands with the Law is in the manner of concentration. You remember we discussed this before when speaking out our goals with the Law of Attraction? That if one of your goals is a new car, you must describe the car fully, inside and out, and you mustn't allow any other thought from the outside to cross your mind. For instance, it's no good saying something like;

'The inside of the car will have leather upholstery and a walnut dashboard - Lordy, I mustn't forget that phone bill - and bucket seats.' Your concentration was last seen rushing for the hills with its pants on fire!

The beauty about self-hypnosis is that it can be like keeping your eyes on a spotlight. Actually, this is the way I do it for both visualization and concentration and it works very well.

To begin with, the light gives a wide circle, with fuzzy edges. Then the object of my concentration comes onto the stage, the light picks it up and becomes sharper and sharper, smaller and smaller until it holds this picture I'm carrying in my head in razor-sharp focus. I find now I can inspect it, walk slowly around and view it from all angles.

It's a fascinating experience, but there we go. As with self-hypnosis, so with the Law of Attraction.

The third way it locks hands is during the day, when your vision pops into your mind. That's exactly what happens with both methods. Now we shouldn't try to fool ourselves here. When all's said and done, we're not dealing with two separate methods of acquisition. It's simply that self-hypnosis encourages our concentration. Perhaps ensures our concentration is a better way of putting it.

Ever since I've been using self-hypnosis, which I admit isn't a very long time, but even now I feel more invigorated in the morning, my sleep is better, and where doubts used to assail me, no matter how hard I tried, my attitude has become far more positive.

It's wonderful to see people succeed, so I do hope you lock hands firmly with the Law

Using the Law of Attraction and the Secret to Attract Wealth

2010-05-30T22:16:00.000-07:00

You've heard about it on the talk show circuit. You've listened to the self-made gurus hawk it on radio commercials. So, what is the law of attraction and wealth, and, more importantly, how can you use it to get that raise you deserve or find that lucrative business opportunity that will let you float into early retirement? This guide will answer the most frequently asked questions about how to use the law of attraction.

What is the law of attraction? Is it the same as "The Secret"?

The law of attraction, also called the law of abundance, is using our own thoughts and emotions to mold reality. It might sound like metaphysical mumbo-jumbo, but in the simplest terms, it means that if you have a cruddy attitude you'll attract cruddy things. On the other hand, if you have a positive attitude you'll attract positive things.

The Secret is a popular book that taught the ages-old principles behind the law of abundance. For many readers, it's a transformative work that teaches and encourages positive thought as a way to achieve abundant happiness, good health, and well-deserved wealth.

Isn't this just new-age hocus-pocus?

In short, no. In fact, the idea has been around for thousands of years. Plato, Winston Churchill, Henry Ford and Martin Luther King, Jr. incorporated aspects of the law of attraction into their visionary works. Learning how to use the law of attraction puts you in good company.

How can I make the law of abundance work for me?

You won't need a degree in psychology or spirituality to learn how to use the law of attraction. Here's the 411:

Turn that frown upside down: As cheesy as it sounds, the law of abundance will only bring wealth and riches if you put out positive emotions. Don't say, "I have no money." Instead say, "I will be financially free." Don't say, "I want to quit my job." Instead say, "I will find a new opportunity."

Start an abundance journal: Take all those dreams, wishes, and fantasies and put them into writing. This helps the mind get ready for transforming those thoughts into money-attracting actions.

I'm still not sure this is right for me. Is there someone who can help?

Whether you're not 100% convinced of the power of the law of abundance or you just need tips, strategies, or moral support, consider investing in an expert who can teach you how to use the law of attraction to its fullest potential.

Find books, seminars, or workshops offered by law of attraction and wealth professionals with a track record of offering practical, easy-to-use information.

Wealth is about more than just the money. Once you rid your mind of a poverty mentality and fill it with the positive emotions that attract money, you can become a powerful magnet that attracts abundance and wealth.

The Law of Attraction, Belief is Vitally Important

2010-05-29T10:02:00.000-07:00

The law of attraction, prayers, wishes what ever you want to call it are all the same. I know I could be on dodgy ground talking about religion, but it is the belief that I am interested in. We all have our own beliefs, put a hundred people in a room and you will probably get a hundred different points of view, some aspects the same, but all differing in some way.

Most people believe in some sort of a greater power, if they admit it or not. Whatever you want to call it, nearly everyone thinks there is a power that makes and controls all things. Whether you see it as a person like god, Buddha, or something in solid form or as an energy flowing like chi or the power of the universe, or even Mother Nature. Most people believe there is something.

It does not really matter what the higher power is. I know it does to the person believing it, but it is the belief that is important. That unfaltering absolute belief in your higher power and yourself that you will get what you ask for.

This is a vital part of the law of attraction. Belief that you deserve what you are asking for, that you are ready to receive it and the universe will deliver it to you. Without this the manifestation of your order could be in jeopardy.

It is all the same thing just in different forms. Prayer is just the same as the law of attraction, asking for what you want. It is the belief that is important. The belief in god, that he will help you he is your father and will always come through for you. Or that the universe will always look after you and will give you what you want and deserve. Or the that the way you position your furniture allows the chi to flow.

When someone is ill and they believe they will get better, they often do so against all the odds. It does not matter what the doctors say, if you believe, miracles or what ever you want to call them do happen.

What one person calls a miracle another sees as manifestation of a cosmic order. It really does not matter what route you take to get what you want, or who or what you believe in as long as you believe.

Unlocking the Law of Attraction by Using Powerful Thoughts

2010-05-27T22:05:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wondered how powerful your thoughts are? If you could imagine, just for a moment, your thoughts as people, what kind of people would they be? Would they be good people, would they be kind people or would they be nasty people? Would these be the kind of people you invite into your home? Or would you slam the door in their faces?

If you slammed the door on the idea of these "people" coming into your home -- let me ask you this -- then why do you invite them into your head, which is a more sacred space than your home?

You Have The Right To Choose Your Thoughts -- Whether you recognize it or not, you have the right to choose your own powerful thoughts. The reason you may not be aware of this is that it falls into one of three categories:

---->Your Beliefs -- what beliefs have you aligned yourself with that draw these thoughts to you.

---->Your Habits -- what habits make you hold onto these powerfully negative and upsetting thoughts?

---->Your Self-Discipline- who is in charge of your thoughts -- or do you just let any 'ole thought in without realizing you have a choice.

If you are reading this article, it means you're interested in gaining control. If you are serious about gaining control, the time has come for you to make a commitment

Commit To Thinking Better Thoughts -- Make a decision about thinking better thoughts. Make a heartfelt decision about the thoughts you want to release from your daily life and then make a list of the thoughts you wish to entertain and actively invite into your life.

Here's a sample list:

Negative Thoughts You Want To Release

Nothing ever goes right for me
I'm not good enough
Why does this always happen to me
When am I going to get this right

Positive Thoughts You Want To Invite

I am getting good at letting go and letting it happen
I am a child of the universe - I am perfect the way that I am
I am attracting wonderful new opportunities into my life
It's so nice to know that I can move at my own pace

A small shift in your thinking can make a big shift in your life. You do have control, the time has come to take back control of not only your thoughts, but your life. Powerful thoughts married to powerful emotions create powerful events.

It really is OK to think happy thoughts and be happy, it's not a crime!

For the most part I've viewed myself as a positive person, but it's easy to be dragged down by the people around you, if you open up to them. The same happens to your thoughts. A good way to rid yourself of negative thoughts is to be aware of them. When you feel one coming on (and you will know by how you feel) just put a big white-lighted X over it and do what Wayne Dyer does, just say NEXT.

Make the Law of Attraction Work Faster

2010-05-25T21:31:00.000-07:00

You have probably heard of the Law of Attraction. You know, that what you visualize, will come to reality. This article shows you, how you can materialize faster and more efficiently what you visualize. I will be as straight to the point as possible.

There are 4 factors that determine how fast you will attract into your life what you visualize.

1. Number one is vividness. The more clear the picture is, in your mind, the more likely it is that you will attract what you see in your mind's eye. You have to imagine in every detail what it is that you want. You have to put in bright colors, smells, sounds and the feel of textures.

2. Number two is time length. This is the amount of time you spend visualizing the desired outcome. You have to hold in your mind, the picture of the desired outcome, for as long time as possible.

3. Number three is frequency. This is how often you visualize the picture. The more, the better. I recommend a minimum of twice a day, first when you get up in the morning, second, just before you go to sleep. These are the times when the subconscious is the most sensitive to programming.

4. The fourth is intensity. This means, that the more you are emotionally involved in the picture that you see, the faster it will come to reality. It is very important, that you feel good about the outcome while you visualize.

I wish success to all of you.

When the Law of Attraction "Doesn't Work"

2010-05-24T20:58:00.000-07:00

"Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat." -Napoleon Hill

First, let me state, the Law of Attraction is ALWAYS working. You have heard it before but it is worth stating again:

WE LIVE IN AN OCEAN OF MOTION
This means that no matter our impression of what is going on outside of us, we are giving off a vibration. The universe is receiving our vibration, amplifying it and sending it back to us. Here is the biggie... the vibration traffic we are creating eventually becomes our created reality delivered back from the universe.

So, what do we do when bad things come to rock our boat of 'feel-good' dreams?

"When you make a failure, it it because you have not asked for enough; keep on, and a larger thing then you were seeking will certainly come to you. REMEMBER THIS."- Wallace D. Wattles

I love how Wattles presents this idea. Some may view the quote above as a command to just simply persist. It is so much more than that. Modern teachers of the SECRET refer to a technique called ENERGY REDIRECTION.

ENERGY REDIRECTION is how we can make some proverbial LEMONADE when life feeds us LEMONS.

We can take a situation that may have blind sided us and exploit that surge of emotion for our benefit. Whether we sustain a blow financially, in a relationship or to our health, there is ALWAYS at least an equal or greater benefit for us. Usually the benefit is greater and becomes enabled by our suddenly changed circumstances.

Like anything else we desire, manifestation weighs in the balance what we think about, how we feel about it and what we do as a result. Thoughts and emotions that would usually be focused negatively can be redirected to something positive.

If you sustain a financial loss, decide you will not only find a way to make up for the loss but prosper over and above the value of the loss. If you become ill, decide you will recover and also find a cure to help others with the same suffering. If you lose a close friend, decide to build up relationships with those around you to new heights and develop new relationships.

Most of all, feel joy and encouragement from your new decisions. That is what will fuel your creative energy for insight on what to do next!

Debunking the Law of Attraction

2010-05-23T20:57:00.000-07:00

Pursuing a self concordant goal is a process that raises our sense of well being and lets us feel that we are truly expressing ourselves. During its pursuit, we feel as if we are fulfilling our destiny and that all is well with the world. It is the journey and not the final destination that allows learning, growing, and feeling satisfied. According to the Law of Attraction however, a major loophole seems to exist.

Law of Attraction enthusiasts would have us believe that just by thinking of what we want, the universe is willing to materialize it for us...if we are ready to receive it. In the book The Secret, three steps are all that are required for all your desires to manifest themselves: ask, believe, and receive. I don't know about you, but I've been thinking about, believing, and quite ready to receive a winning lottery ticket. Oh wait, I didn't win. Maybe I should hire a law of attraction coach to keep me focused and help me truly be ready to receive the universes' gift to me. It seems the only people really amassing riches from this Law are those that are preaching (or selling) this idea.

I will attempt to compare the concepts of this movement with what is known in the fields of motivation and goal attainment in order to bridge what seems to be a large gap between the two.

The first step according to the book The Secret is to ask. By asking, we are basically defining our goals. We are shifting our focus from the abstract to a specific, attainable goal. This is an important step if we are to move on to the next step and move closer to attaining it.

The next step involves believing: focusing on the object of desire. By putting all your focus on what you want, you are supposedly attracting it. Here, we are not only to believe that attainment is possible but that we have already attained it: tricking our mind into believing we have already obtained what it is we desire. This is an interesting idea that can actually be explained by research in the field of positive psychology. It is true that the brain doesn't know the difference between what is real and what is imagined. If, for example, you think about a spider crawling on your arm, your brain will react in the same way it would if a real spider was there.

By believing you have (or can) obtain the goal in question, you are creating positive emotions that have the potential to create opportunities towards its pursuit. Barbara Frederickson's Broaden and Build theory suggests that positive emotions broaden our awareness and promote creativity in thought and in action. Therefore, if by believing we are able to attain our goal (or by tricking the mind into believing we have already succeeded) we are potentially creating positive emotions and opening ourselves to see different ways of obtaining what we want. Our broadened awareness of our goal will allow us to see opportunities that we would have otherwise missed because our focus would have been elsewhere. This also permits us to increase our motivation and devise a plan that will enable us to successfully pursue our goal.

The last step is to receive. This is where the Law of Attraction seems to be oversimplified. According to this theory, by asking (clearly defining) and believing (motivation and plan), the universe will somehow hand over to you what it is that you ask for. There is clearly something missing.

What ingredient seems to be missing in the Law of Attraction that would make it scientifically plausible? A dirty six letter word has the power to crush the hopes of those sold on the idea of manifesting their desires through thought (and through thought alone). That word is action.

Once you have defined your goal (ask) and have developed a realistic plan to attain it (believe), the next logical step is action. It is the single most important step in the pursuit of success and well being. So, the next time you are dreaming about something you would like to achieve, don't just think about it - Do it!
