There has been a lot of buzz the past couple of years about the law of attraction. A lot of books have been published about this particular topic and even Oprah gave her seal of approval. However, for those who need a primer to get your feet wet, you've come to the right place.What exactly is the law of attraction? Simply put, it is whatever you put out to the universe you'll get back. Is it that simple you may ask? The correct answer is yes. Let's take a moment and think about it.
Does the law of attraction work in this way? I don't think so: whatever is in the envelope is in the envelope. It's your attitude to what the envelope contains that makes the difference. A negative person will focus on the fact they cannot afford to pay the bill; a positive person will focus on ways to pay the bill. They will decide what action they can take to get the money to pay the bill. This will attract positive, constructive thoughts that will eventually lead to a solution. That is the way law of attraction works.
Does the law of attraction mean the Universe will shower us with any amount of good things if we expect it to? Maybe, but I believe it is our attitude that helps us see the opportunities because we are looking for them. The same thing can happen to different people, such as receiving an envelope in the mail: one person will see it as a bad thing and may be frightened to open it while another will be eager see the contents as it may contain another opportunity.
It was time to go for my lectures. I was in my third year at university. I often sat with a few of my good friends in the lecture theatre. My friends were chatting excitedly when I got there. One of them had just started going out with a guy from the Economics faculty. Two others had boyfriends too. One of them asked me, "What about you Dina, have you met anybody yet?" "I don't think I will find my guy here on campus.
Have you noticed how successful people talk and act? They generally have a confident, can-do attitude. It is not that they have not had to deal with plenty of challenges or they do not recognize the future challenges. It is simply that they have decided to meet these challenges positively with the expectation they will overcome them and succeed.
The first thing I want you to do is create an image of you receiving the amount of money you would like. As you are creating this picture in your mind, really feel it. You are this person receiving this money, so what does it feel like? Are you laughing, smiling, crying, jumping up and down, does it give you shivers up and down your spine? YOU JUST RECEIVED MONEY HOW HAPPY ARE YOU?? I am serious about this. I want you feel this doin your whole being. This is where acting as if comes in. Once you have your mental picture, in as much detail as possible, act as if.
Acting as if means act as if you have received it. You can decide what you want to do with the money, you tell yourself that you are now rich. Remember when you were younger and you would pretend to be a king, or a frog or whatever it was, you would totally act as if you were that person or thing. The same principle applies here. You might think this is silly, so allow me to explain. There are two major reasons why I suggest this exercise. The first reason is all about your sub-conscious mind. Your sub-conscious mind holds your beliefs, it is the blueprint of your mind. It sends a signal to your body that puts gives you emotions and also controls the vibration that you are sending off to the Universe. So as you can see, the sub-conscious mind is very important. Especially since we know that whatever vibration we are sending off, we will receive things in that same vibration. Well here is another thing about the sub-conscious that is important. It doesn't know what is real or not. If it did, I think we would all be rich, because that is the truth, abundance rules the Universe. So even if you have a big fat zero in your bank account right now, and you tell yourself that you are rich, and act as if you are rich, eventually your sub-conscious mind would start to believe it. It doesn't have a choice. Just like it didn't have a choice when you were really young and people would fill it with whatever they believed in. The second reason is if you act as if, you are giving the vibration of abundance. It will be a high vibration, so you will start to receive many great things into your life!
