1. You must really know what you want. So start asking yourself what you really want.
2. Change the way you think to change your life. Whatever you believe to be so, you are proven to be right!

Shockingly what I thought I really wanted was not what I really wanted. I accidentally realized it two years ago.

As far as I know, I’ve been fond of eating delicious food… baby back ribs, beef steaks, roast lamb chops, yakiniku, crabs, raw oysters. But all of that food comes with a price: fat and high colesterol. I didn’t care about it. I thougth eating delicious food is how I enjoyed my life.

Then one day, I met a stranger and we got into casual conversation. Somehow he mentioned he didn’t eat meat and seafood. I was surprised and blurted unconsciously, “How do you enjoy life if you don’t eat meat and seafood?” He calmly answered, “For me, be able to watch my grandchildren is enjoying life. To be able to live long, healthy and happy with my family is enjoying life.”

Slap!

His answer hit me and made me realize how wrong I was. It was a great reflection from a stranger, wasn’t it? Hence I started to change my diet. I ate only healthy food and avoided all of those “dangerous” food. But it didn’t last long. After about a month, I resumed to my old habit. Eating “bad” food again.

Until finally I came across a good diet book, Living The G.I. Diet. There was a sentence in this book that changed the way I think, “It’s not a diet. It’s a life style.”

So in my own simple example, my two ingredients are:

1. I really want to live long happily and healthily with my family and be able to watch and play with my grandchildren. It’s still long way to go since my son is still 16-month old!
2. I change the way I think about food. It’s not a diet. It’s my healthy life style.

I hope that enlighten you with my own experience.

What’s yours? Come on, share yours so that we can motivate each other

Some of you may not know Ramadan, so here’s an excerpt from Wikipedia:

Ramadan (Arabic: ?????, Rama??n) is an Islamic religious observance that takes place during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, when the Qur’an was revealed. The word “Ramadan” is derived from an Arabic word for intense heat, scorched ground, and shortness of rations. It is considered the most venerated, blessed and spiritually-beneficial month of the Islamic year. Prayers, sawm (fasting), charity, and self-accountability are especially stressed at this time; religious observances associated with Ramadan are kept throughout the month.

Today is the first of Ramadan, the first day they start fasting. So I can imagine the sudden change of life style where they can’t eat and drink during the day… hunger and thirst must be felt.

Now what’s its relation with law of attraction?

By shifting the focus! So instead feel and think about hunger and thirst, shift the feeling and thought to something else.. something good. For example it can be a plan for charity.

Controlling the emotion such as refraining from anger, envy, greed, lust, sarcastic retorts, backbiting, and gossip can also be done by listening to soothing and calming audio.

Well, during an average day, you walk around seeing and sensing things you might like to experience, and in doing so, you think about how you can obtain it. The clearer you are about the experience you want to have from the size, shape, texture, smell, etc., you will cause your emotion to trigger the action to create stronger thoughts, which are then stored into your subconscious mind. It is when enough similar thoughts have collected that the subconscious mind will send the specific signal into the Universe with your desired images. How? Through the constant repeating and storing of focused concentrated thoughts with information from your conscious mind to the subconscious whether it is positive or negative.

The conscious mind is constantly taking in almost everything visually screening, sorting, analyzing the content, and deciding whether it will become one of your experiences. As your conscious mind scopes out a new adventure, the subconscious mind vibrationally feels the emotional energy that is wrapped around the information it is receiving. This is done to see whether it is a wish or something that you really might like to experience in the future or now. But even if it is a wish the moment you insert enough emotion behind it, you will trigger manifestation. This is the formula for creating:

Thought + Desire + Emotion + Belief + Visualization + Expectation = Manifestation

Stay focused only on positive, uplifting, empowering thoughts about yourself and your desire, because unseemly chaotic, outside stimulation (family, friends, spouse, lover, etc.) can easily sidetrack you or cause you to become unfocused or stuck in pursing their desire rather than your own. Such subliminal information can also come from watching TV and listening to the radio and can slowly hypnotize a person into believing they need everything “right now” from a new car, a bigger house, to a better job without ever being clear about what else comes with that desire. Listening to others who seem to have your best at heart may have a bias, which focused on might convince you that you are never going to be a success or live a glorious, delicious life because successful people look like models, or are born rich and have the right connections.

So, in collecting data keep in mind you can choose the better part of something that may not be to your total liking. You may not like the person personality, but love the suit they have on, therefore focus only on the suit and not the person. Keep in mind that your subconscious mind has the ability to go beyond the physical and manifest anything you can create in your mind if you desire it with deep passion, and believe it. As with anything in colleting data always “consider the source” i.e., what is the purpose of this information, where is it coming from and is it for the highest good of all.

Ponder:

1. Acknowledge that you create your reality.
2. Acknowledge that you are worthy.
3. What are you grateful for now?
4. How decisive are you about your desire?
5. How determined are you?
6. Do you have faith?
7. What really inspires you?
8. What motivates you?
9. What makes you laugh?
10. If it’s not positive then it is negative.
11. Are you connected to the Universe?
12. Do you believe?
13. Are you aligned with the Universe?
14. Develop a positive Attitude.
15. Be grateful now for seen and unseen.

Yes. The more excited you are about your desire and the better you feel about yourself, the higher the vibrational energy that is emitted, connecting you directly to the universe.

Vibrations are the energy that is emitted from our thoughts, emotion, soul and mind. Depending on how you are feeling on any given day, those vibrations can be high or low. The higher the vibration the more positive energy. It’s the same type of energy you emit when you are in love or when you have just purchased the house or car of your dreams.

The lower the vibration, the lower the energy out-put; it is equivalent to someone who is sick and their body and mind are not in sync.

Let’s delve a little deeper into how vibrations play a part in bringing your dreams, desires and goals into fruition. Connecting to the universe for a desire is like telepathy; words are not necessary for the universe to respond, for it does not speak, hear or see in the same fashion as a human. It’s all about your thoughts, feelings, and energy this is what the universe responds to the quickest.

Think about the last time you were having a conversation on your cell phone and the call dropped. Well, you were in-between cellular towers and your signal was interrupted because there was a void between your phone and the tower’s signal. Once you were back in line with one of the cellular towers, the conversation was reconnected or you had to make the call again.

Dropped calls would be the equivalent to being sick, thinking negative thoughts not being aligned with your soul. In connecting to the Universe you must be aware of your feelings and your intentions. It all boils down to what are you thinking, and what are you feeling. Becoming aware of your thoughts and feelings will lead you to make better decisions and attract new wanted experiences. Sometimes a dropped call is your subconscious mind remembering an earlier experience and then disconnecting; not wanting to have the same outcome.

This is exactly how it works with in the Universal Law of Attraction. When you feel good you are directly connected. Subsequently, if you are feeling bad or are in a stressed situation, you are not directly connected to the Universe; hence, a dropped signal. In order to receive your desire, you must stay totally aligned with feeling good, believing and having faith.

Mind-reading

Body language not only gives you additional information about other people and about yourself, it also gives you different information. While people’s words tell you only what they consciously want you to know, their body language tells you a whole range of other things, much of which they may not know they’re revealing, or even be conscious of themselves. People’s basic personality, the role they’re playing, the emotions they feel, the direction of their thoughts, their relationships with others – not to mention what they really think about you – body language communicates it all. And whereas people’s words can hide a multitude of secrets, their body language is much more difficult to fake.

Equally, of course, your own body language will — whether you like it or not—transmit information about yourself to others. And studies have shown that what you ‘say’ non-verbally is often much more influential than what you say verbally, not only because it bypasses the conscious mind of a listener and speaks directly to his or her subconscious, but also because people quite rightly trust non-verbal messages more than they trust words. The bad news is that your body language is making statements about you all the time, and some of these may be things you are trying to hide. The good news is that, property and genuinely used, body language can state what you couldn’t possibly say out loud, in a way that really reaches other people: ‘I’m competent… I need your support… I like you … I love you.’

Body language isn’t only about communication, though. What psychologists have realized over the past decade is that if you change your ‘body talk,’ you can actually change all kinds of things about your approach to life. You can, for instance, alter your mood before going to a party, create a better feeling toward your partner or feel more confident at work. And, of course, if your body language genuinely shifts, and you interact differently with people around you, then they in turn will respond differently to you – so that the way you project yourself to others will be reflected back to you, in a neat circular process.

Words of Warning

Because body language is such a powerful tool in the Law of Attraction, you need to take care when using it – so, before you begin, a few words of caution!

First, it’s a myth that body language allows you to read a person like a book. This theory, which was an attempt to ‘alphabetize’ non-verbal communication by defining a single gesture as having a single meaning, was originally fashionable in the sixties. If people scratched their nose, that meant they were lying. It didn’t matter whether they were scratching because their nose itched, because they were nervous or because nose-scratching was an important ritual in their sub-culture – they were still seen as lying. Nowadays, we know it’s just not that simple. Body language elements differ in meaning, and can be understood only in the context of a person’s life situation.

Second, using body language successfully isn’t about ignoring the words. Though we humans are apes – and many of the body talk sequences we use come directly from those developed by apes – we are nevertheless talking apes. Therefore, much of the teachings are about using body language along with the words, to emphasize them, to elaborate on them, to control them or even to contradict them. To be a real body language expert, use your non-verbal skills in addition to not instead of, your verbal ones.

Opening your mind to new ideas and Creative Thought processes is a big leap of faith and can change core belief. I know having blind faith and believing in the unseen is a big pill to swallow for most. A great example of faith is your belief that the sun will rise tomorrow you don’t know how, but you do know it will.

When people are not totally able to see clearly or understand the Science of the Law of Attraction, they are quick to say it doesn’t work. Instead of desiring and allowing the process to work, people let doubt slip in and take over their thought process. Contrary to belief, there is no scientific evidence that the Law of Attraction actually works, it’s about having faith. Be decisive and establish that you want change in your life and that may mean leaving behind core beliefs such as: I’m not good enough, I’m not worthy, They won’t let me because, I’m to short/tall, my mother/father etc. told me that it was wrong, you don’t have enough experience, and of course, you have to wait your turn or time. Don’t let any of these excuses or old beliefs stop you, reprogram yourself start by getting a clear mental picture of where you are now. Then move forward by asking pertinent questions like the following:

• What stops me form having my desire?
• What additional resources might I need?
• Am I visualizing?
• Am I feeling the essence of what I want?
• Am I being truthful and honest with myself?

These questions will help you think clear, specific, focused thoughts and with willpower, bring your desire into material form.

Use a journal to record your thoughts, desires, and answers. Write down old childhood beliefs and compare them with your new ones are they still relevant now? Let the journal become your blueprint for success and place to document your progress during the day.

Ponder:

1. Act now.
2. What are you grateful for?
3. See yourself free of any mental limitations.
4. Are you aligned with your desire?
5. What makes you feel euphoric?

Affirmation:

There is no lack or limitations in my life.

And now, let’s review: The Law of Attraction

1. Decide what you want.
2. State what you desire in the positive with enough emotion to make it feel physically real.
3. Think repeatedly during the day about your desire and visualize it.
4. Realign your thinking, using your willpower to get started.
5. Mentally and physically sync with whatever you desire to the point of manifestation.
6. Understand all possibilities are only limited by the thoughts in your mind.
7. Start pretending, also known as “Acting as If”.
8. Be specific: include the size, shape, color, texture and when you want your desire.
9. Use affirmations and empowering songs to change old beliefs until the new, positive ones become a habit.
10. Do no give it your attention/point of focus to any situation or experience that you don’t want. Simply put, do not entertain the thought.
11. Post pictures of your dreams, desires, and goals everywhere and visualize being in possession of them.
12. Believe, have faith, be confident, speak in the positive, and take personal responsibility.
13. Keep a journal; write specific details about your desire.
14. Model someone who has the positive traits you desire.
15. Stay focused and on point. Read, review, reprogram.
16. Start small, gain confidence in creating and manifesting.
17. Become consciously aware of you and your surroundings.
18. Believe and know that you are entitled to wealth, health, success and abundance. Expect that it will yours.
19. Acknowledge that you are a mental magnet and will attract to you everything you are thinking and feeling.
20. Enjoy every minute of the process, in the now.

The other two events — the summer and winter solstices — are in balance as well. During the summer solstice, the sun reaches the biggest declination at exactly 23 1/2 degrees north of the equator, and during the winter solstice, the sun reaches the biggest declination south of the equator also at exactly 23 1/2 degrees.

We see similar examples of balance at the atomic and molecular levels. Every stable atom and every molecule is in balance with the total number of negatively charged electrons equaling the total number of positively charged protons. In those cases in which a particular element or molecule is not in such balance, there is instability, and the atom or molecule begins spewing electrons or other subatomic particles in an effort to achieve balance. Alternatively, the unstable atom or molecule combines with some other out-of-balance atom or molecule to achieve balance through ionic or covalent bonding.

Despite what we may think or like to think about our role in nature, we humans are part of a balanced universe, and it is natural for us to be in balance and, conversely, unnatural for us to be out of balance in our lives.

This, of course, raises the question as to why it is that we don’t live our lives in a state of balance like the universe around us. The quick answer is that we have attempted to remove ourselves from the natural order of things. Why has this happened to us? Again, the quick answer is that our approach to living has traditionally been a left-brain, cognitive, logical one. Relying so heavily on the left brain in our history of evolution has given us the appearance of having successfully removed ourselves from the natural order of things. The truth, however, is that we have lost our way.

Too frequently, however, we cannot hear the warnings of this Life Balance monitoring mechanism, and the results are loss of attraction, loss of health, loss of relationships, loss of productivity, loss of aliveness and authenticity, and, most ironically, frequently the loss of the very things—job, family, friends—for which you may think you can go out of balance in the first place and for which you may have turned to the Law of Attraction.

Balance is, after all, the natural state of the Universe. Even water seeks its own level. There have been hundreds of studies of ecological balance around the globe and of the local disasters that occur when that balance is disrupted by the introduction of some new species foreign to the locality. Examples of this phenomenon include zebra mussels, gypsy moths, mute swans, nutria, the water chestnut, purple loosestrife, and the kudzu vine. Each of these animal and plant species had an appropriate niche in its own ecological system, but their introductions into foreign ecologies have been nothing short of catastrophic: Non-native species spread rapidly because the predatory checks and balances of their native ecologies are missing, and they then displace native plants and animals further up the food chain—including endangered species.

Indeed, you may remember the balance upset recently caused by the northern snakehead (Channa argus), a top-level predator fish native to China that was found in a small pond in Crofton, Maryland. It was dubbed the “Frankenfish” by the press because of its uncanny ability to breathe air and travel short distances over dry land. When an unwitting local resident released into a pond two specimens that had grown too large for his aquarium, the pond’s ecological balance was upset. In the end, authorities decided to kill all the vegetation in the pond by the application of herbicides, thus starving the animal life of oxygen, and then to complete the elimination of the snakehead—and all the other native species of animals and plants—by releasing poison into the pond. They plan to restock the pond when it is certain that no snakeheads are remaining.

So, in the Universe and in the Law of Attraction, balance is everything.
