The Key to Unlocking the Law of Attraction

This year saw a massive renewed interest in the Law of Attraction. It is an ancient law that has been known by many different names. However, we the success of certain films like The Secret" and the increased ezposure of some personal development teachers this law is fast becoming a well known spiritual principle. But how many people really know how to use it? Do you know how to get results from it every time?

At its very basis that Law of Attraction states: You get more of what you focus on. But what does this really mean?

On the surface it appears that when we visualise, use affirmations, or any other of the great many self improvement methods for manifesting, we can attract to ourselves all manner of physical things, situations and circumstances and even develop skills, characteristics and physical attributes. Visualization, affirmations, hypnosis and all manner of self improvement techniques and products are available to help us utilize the Law of Attraction more effectively. But many teachers are failing to teach people that in order to attain their desires they must become "at one" with their desire. The only way to do this is to become "conscious" of the thing we desire.

Let me explain.

Whatever you hold in your consciousness is manifested in your world. This is how visualization and other techniques work. They are designed to expand your consciousness so that it reflects the very thing you are seeking. When I was much younger I believed that visualization alone was enough to manifest my desires. I had read all the books, listened to the seminars and had thousands of dollars worth of self improvement tapes, CDs and equipment. I believed that if i used these for forty-five minutes a day my life would transform and my desires would appear as if by magic. Needless to say 95% of the time it didn't work!

Why?

This inability to attract what I wanted was in no way a failure on the part of the Law of Attraction, it was merely my own misunderstanding of the workings of this great Universal force. Many times when I visualized I felt in true alignment with my desire. However, throughout my day I would constantly notice that I didn't have it. For 45 minutes I was conscious of my desire but for the rest of the time my consciousness was reflecting the lack of it!

This is due entirely to our feelings! If we have memories that are tied to negative emotions then these negative feelings will resurface and our thinking becomes negative. Thus our lives start to go in the completely opposite direction from the way we desire. The law says you get more of what you focus on and in my previous example I was focused on the lack. I did not have the consciousness of my goal. My consciousness was reflecting a lack of having what i wanted. I was literraly in the consciousness of lack. In fact, in many cases, it increased the lack because you always get more of what you focus on. This just created frustration. The more frustrated I felt the more negative emotions were evoked and the more I felt negative abiout my goal the more negative thoughts I had. The more I thought negatively about it the more negative circumstances entered my life.

If you aren't careful, setting a goal and pursuing it without the proper training can lead to worse circumstances than when you started!

So it is not just enough to visualize once or twice a day in order to utilize the Law of Attraction. You must change your consciousness and align it with the thing you want. In this way you will be automatically thinking in positive terms about your desire and attracting things, people and circumstances that will manifest that desire in your life
