As someone interested in the Law of Attraction, I imagine you have likely asked yourself, “What do I need to do in order to become a money magnet?”  In fact, the answer to that question is far more simple than you may imagine, and at the same time a bit tricky.  Allow me to explain.

Most people, when first learning the Law of Attraction, decide to go after things they “want”.  The problem with this is that “wanting”, in the strictest sense of the word, means “lacking”.  So these folks start off by focusing energy on lack, and get nothing back.  Then, angrily muttering to themselves, they denounce the Law of Attraction and resume their daily lives.

But not you, right?  You’re a smart cookie!  You know there’s something to the Law of Attraction.  You know you just need to learn how to use it and your life will be opened up to your wildest dreams.

You would be correct.

So how do you become a money magnet?

First and foremost, value the money you already have.  When you receive a paycheck, meager though it may seem, appreciate it fully!  Without that, you would have nothing, and something is always better than nothing when it comes to money.  Feel gratitude for the money you have already – at least it pays for what things you can currently afford.

When you see a penny on the ground, this is a test.  A penny is money.  To your subconscious mind, as well as the universe, money is money.  When you ignore that penny, you are sending a clear signal saying “I do not want money”.  Obviously, this isn’t a message you want to send.  Pick up that penny and be grateful for finding it.  Because you know the secret now – that penny is a test for your abundance awareness.

It is jokingly said that Bill Gates would stop everything to pick up a penny, despite the fact that he is a multi billionaire.  Rather than see that as a statement of greed, I see that as a statement of magnetism.  If we stop spending time chastising people we are jealous of, we might just learn something.

As your subconscious begins to get the idea that money is important to, valuable to, and much appreciated by you, more will begin to show up.  Stay aware of money coming in, and keep your mind in a receiving mode.  Be sure to stop and appreciate each bit of money that comes your way.

Finally, an opportunity will come your way to help you really make the big bucks.  Keep your eyes and your mind open and be ready for it.  When this opportunity presents itself, you will feel it inside, and know that it is time to act.  You must always be ready to act on opportunities that you attract, lest you lose your desired outcome by turning away.  Don’t expect to manifest a million dollars directly into your bank account – the process of life is organic, and the way in which your manifestations will come to you will be organic.

In fact, from the outside, these things will appear to be “luck”, “chance”, or “being in the right place at the right time”.  In reality, there is no such thing as any of those – there is only the Law of Attraction and magnetization.

The biggest question I’m asked over and over again is how to employ the Law of Attraction to attract love into your life. A lot of people have a particular individual in mind; others are just seeking a new relationship. The Law of Attraction is certainly capable of bringing you love – if you use the correct technique.

Most especially, those of you with intentions on a special person, I have unpleasant news. You most likely won’t attract that somebody you so hope to attract. That’s not to say it’s impossible, and there are a million reasons why you might be able to. All the same, what I’ve found in my experience is that rather than that specific someone; people attract someone who is an exponentially closer match for them. Consequently while you may grumble, I’ve never met a person who was dissatisfied in the long run.

Side by side with the previous statements, it’s not suggested to practice forceful visualizations seeing a specific someone. In energy terms, this constitutes imposing your will on others, and simply doesn’t work out. Everyone possesses free will. When you begin applying your visualizations, center on the feeling of being with someone you deeply care about. Center on the friendship, the romance, and the fun. Don’t place a face on the individual, or put an imagined face on them. Even if you do attract the person you’re enchanted with now, you will have more success with this tactic than with envisioning that individual specifically.

Rest back in your bathtub with a bottle of wine and imagine walking side by side with your lover down the beach. Imagine eating out, taking walks, or talking lightheartedly till the sun rises. The more caught up in this vision (imagining) you get, the more energy you’re sending out into the universe that says “bring me a someone who can fill this role!” When this is done properly, you will most likely come across someone very quickly. But don’t concern yourself with the timeframe – just relish the vision.

Do this while you relax in the bath, as you hit the sack at night, and when you first waken. Picture this while you drive to your place of work or while sitting in traffic on the way home. The more you do this, the more potent it becomes. Your life will become filled with abundant, energy of love and attraction, and this will attract the right somebody to you. And when it comes about, don’t forget to express your gratitude!

The book and DVD state that your dreams can come true if you unlock the power of your mind.

By HELEN T. GRAY
McClatchy Newspapers

Did you know?

You can change anything in your life.

Your life is in your hands.

The universe will rearrange itself to give you whatever you want.

If this sounds like magic, you haven’t read or seen “The Secret,” the best-selling book and DVD by Australian TV producer Rhonda Byrne that promises to reveal the “Great Secret” that “has been passed down through the ages, highly coveted, hidden, lost, stolen and bought for vast sums of money.”

More than 5 million copies of the book are in print.

“The Secret” is the law of attraction, Byrne says:

“The law of attraction says like attracts like. … The law of attraction is giving you what you are thinking about – period!”

The secret potion is a mixture of several spiritual movements, including a large dose of New Thought, a healthy part of Positive Thinking and a generous sprinkling of Prosperity Gospel. And with a few additives from psychology, philosophy and science – shazam! – you have “The Secret”!

New Thought, which early on was known as mental science, says thought is an energy of the mind that can create tangible results in the world, said Robert Fuller, religious studies professor at Bradley University in Peoria, Ill.

New Thought has many fathers, mothers and forerunners, including author Ralph Waldo Emerson; mental healer Phineas P. Quimby; Mary Baker Eddy, founder of Christian Science; and Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, founders of Unity.

Charles Fillmore described it as “a mental system that holds man as being one with God (good) through the power of constructive thinking.”

Orison Swett Marden, a prolific writer of self-help books in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, stated, “Our thoughts and imagination are the only real limits to our possibilities.”

His books “all talked about how to get what you want,” Fuller said. “It is magical thinking to believe that our thought alone is really a force that goes out. It implies that you are responsible for everything in your life.”

Wallace Wattles, whose 1910 book “The Science of Getting Rich” sparked Byrne’s quest, also is out of the New Thought movement.

“What they share in common are techniques thought to reveal the secrets of the mind, ways to unlock the depths of the human mind that is believed to be connected with powerful, spiritual energies,” said Fuller, who has spent years studying these movements.

Mental healing had convinced members of the movement that invisible energy can obtain physical benefits, Fuller said.

“The energy was believed to come from God, and it was further believed that our thoughts controlled the direction of this energy,” Fuller said. “‘The Secret’ picks this up.”

“The Secret” also picks up a basic principle of Unity called the law of mind-action.

“We believe that people can attract positive or negative experiences into their lives by what they think about,” said Paula Coppel, vice president of communications for Unity. “How we view things and how we choose to respond to them shape our lives.

“So if you are a positive person, you will see more good around you and attract more good into your life, and the opposite is true.”

But there is a key difference between Unity and “The Secret,” Coppel said: “Unity is positive, practical Christianity. Our focus is not on manifesting and attracting material things but on aligning ourselves with God.

“We say, ‘Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all other things will be added unto you.’”

New Thought ideas flowed into mainstream Protestantism, developing into Positive Thinking.

Its most well-known advocate was Norman Vincent Peale, who in 1952 wrote the wildly popular “Power of Positive Thinking.”

“Peale took the New Thought ideas and tied them to liberal Protestantism, keeping what was recognizably Christian,” said J. Gordon Melton, founder and director of the Institute for the Study of American Religion.

“The message changed the Gospel a little bit,” he said. “For instance, there’s not a great virtue in humility. But there was still a lot of room for most Christian virtues like being loving and kind and honesty and still believing in salvation in Christ.”

Peale wrote: “Through prayer you … make use of the great factor within yourself, the deep subconscious mind … (which Jesus called) the kingdom of God within you. … Positive thinking is just another term for faith.”

He also wrote, “Your unconscious mind … (has a) power that turns wishes into realities when the wishes are strong enough.”

Robert H. Schuller, who built the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove and a multimillion-dollar television ministry, drew from Peale’s positive thinking to develop “possibility thinking.” These similar ideas are evident in “The Secret.”

Among Schuller’s many books are “Self-Love,” “You Can Be the Person You Want to Be” and “Living Positively One Day at a Time.”

He has said, “The only place where your dream becomes impossible is in your own thinking.”

Many of “The Secret’s” teachers are motivational speakers.

One is Jack Canfield of “Chicken Soup for the Soul” fame, who says:

“Since I learned ‘The Secret’ and started applying it to my life, my life has truly become magical.” And: “Decide what you want. Believe you can have it. Believe you deserve it, and believe it’s possible for you.”

Another one, James Ray, who speaks on wealth, success and human potential, says: “If you think about Aladdin and his lamp, Aladdin picks up the lamp, dusts it off and out pops the Genie. The Genie always says one thing: ‘Your wish is my command.’”

He then says that the Genie is the universe; traditions have called the universe many things, “and you choose the one that works best for you, but every tradition has told us there’s something bigger than us.”

There is a simple way to achieve happiness. The means is to simply be happy. You are most likely wondering right now, how do I get to be happy?” “Things just don’t work like that, it doesn’t take into consideration the times that I am wretchedly unhappy because of problems or mishaps that arise in my day to day life, not to mention the tragedies.” At this stage I have to halt and meditate. Meditation can be performed in many different ways, just find the one that works best for your purposes.

Being happy more often than you have been is an extremely difficult task to accomplish-not in the doing of it once you know how and then in keeping conscious of what you have learned. Yet, I still say that with meditation it can be accomplished. The path that you have chose that brought you to your current situation was not a few days or months in the making, but a long and arduous path that has spanned through many years.

In reality it has taken you as long as you have been alive to become the way you are today. It has also taken you that long to gain what you have achieved, to possess, and to land at your current condition. By finding the time to meditate and think about who you are, and whether what you have in your life is truly what you desire, If you are 100% satisfied with the way your life is going, congratulations-continue to do what you have been doing and you will acquire more of what you currently have in your life.

But if who you are, what you have, and your present situation are less than what you want or perhaps vary from what you long for, you have to start meditating about some basic alterations you will need to make in your life. Failure to make those alterations will find you continuing to seek the things you really would like in your life as the years fly past.

Because some of this that you are reading will seem out of reach, preposterous, or to you maybe even irrational and it may at first offend you, causing you to ridicule what you are reading and maybe even make you feel you need to reject what you have read. I really want to suggest to you that prior to rejecting how meditation can assist you through your life, ask yourself whether or not you want it to be true-then for your benefit please give yourself the chance to see it as true.

In this day and age with all the things we have to deal with in our lives it is very hard to stay on an upbeat level and be happy all the time, But just by taking a few moments a day just meditating by yourself will help you to put things in perspective where instead of being unhappy about the situation you are in, you can find a way to find the happy part of being unhappy.

With the law of attraction, you will come to see that you can do anything. You can focus on the family aspect, you can focus on yourself, you can focus on your career, but you can also work on anything else that you desire to. With the law of attraction, you can accomplish anything that you need to do. Initially, you will want to work on yourself and work on ways that you can bring yourself closer to feeling whole and happy.

The first step of the law of attraction is to identify what it is that you want. You might want to bring your family closer, but be more specific in what you want. You will come to see that there are a lot of things that can be focused on when it comes to the family, but you have to get specific. You must think about what part of the family relationship that you need to focus on and what it will take for you to bring the family closer to your own ideal image.

The second part of the law of attraction is to learn how to release the negative energy and replace it with positive energy.  It is so much harder to do this when you are thinking about the family. You must get everyone onboard with the idea and you are going to have to get onboard with the notion as well. You will discover that this will only work if you discover how to get everyone in on the idea too. You will need to sit down and have a few family talks so that you can bring the family closer.

If you would like to honestly give the law of attraction an opportunity to work in your family, then you must consider the reality that you must get everyone to give the theory a chance to work. Have every member of your family use the law of attraction in a manner that will accompany the family’s foremost goal. You will want to be sure that no one’s goal conflicts with another since it will end up splitting the family apart. You will want to be sure that you stop and think about the way the family reacts to the law of attraction theory and you might want to get family counseling involved.

Moving on to the third step of the law of attraction, you all must act like a family. This indicates that you must put your family nights together and learn how to share time with each other. You must be comfortable with the fact that the family must start behaving like a family. You must all sit down and eat dinner together. Talk at breakfast, work together, spend time together, and have some fun together. This is the step where you will need to act like you are family.

You will want to consider that there is a lot to do when it comes to functioning as a family and it is a long way down the road before you have the perfect family image. You may even want to consider how you can find success in the family, instead of working towards the perfect family image. The perfect family image is always blemished anyway, but working towards family togetherness and happiness.

There is a lot to gain from the personal strength that you will get from the law of attraction, but you will also discover that this is something that the whole family can benefit from. You will want to be sure that you give yourself some time to think about your energy and the energy of the family.
