If you have spent anytime at all with the law of attraction, then you know that gratitude is one of the prime precepts of practice of the law. Louie Schwartzberg presented to the Ted Conference about gratitude.

Here are some more thoughts that you can be grateful for.

I enjoy my time with family.

My family is a precious gift. I feel so blessed that my Creator filled my life with such incredible people.

The time I have with my family is invaluable. I cherish my family relationships — my parents who gave me a loving home, my siblings who make me feel special, my children who allow me to see the best in myself, and my spouse who loves and supports me.

Carving out family time is important because spending time with my family fills me with happiness. I look forward to sharing time with the people who mean the most to me. After all, the purpose of my work is to find fulfillment in life, while providing for my family.

I also take time to nurture all of my family relationships. Keeping these connections nurtures my soul. When I call a family member who lives far away, take the time to have an important conversation with my child, eat a meal with my relatives, or arrange an activity that allows us all to bond — I strengthen my family connections.

Because I have strong family bonds, I am never alone. When I am with my family, I am surrounded by love. My family wants the best for me and is always there to listen to me.

My family brings laughter and love into my life. They provide me with a strong network that keeps me safe and grounded.

Spending time with my family is truly a blessing.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Do I nurture each family relationship with the same energy?
2. How do my family relationships nurture my soul?
3. How can I carve out more time to spend with my family?

For many, this is daily life. They watch their parents struggle to make ends meet on the house and car. Pay for education and medical insurance. When they finally go out on their own, they understand the frustration through their own stack of bills. And the cycle continues.

It doesn’t have to be this way. There are people who are able to attract plenty of wealth into their lives so can live comfortably, pay the bills every month, and have more than enough to enjoy life’s pleasures.

In order to manifest more money into your life, you must follow some basic Law of Attraction principles:

Bills, Bills, Bills

The Law of Attraction is simple: ‘like attracts like.’ When you focus on your bills, you tend to become ‘tight’ on your money. You may begin to realize that more bills appear in your mailbox. Naturally, your focus is on paying the bills. This does not mean you should ignore your bills. What this means is try focusing your energy on attracting more on attracting more money into your life instead of not having enough money.

Paradigm Shift

Thoughts and feelings about money have a great impact on your circumstances. If you believe that ‘money is the root of all evil,’ then this a negative message to your subconscious mind that money is the cause of your financial situation. You need to switch your belief and see money as the means to achieving what you really want, whether the house, the car, the vacation, etc.

Gratitude

Money shows up in various forms. Sometimes, you find some change, a few extra dollars here or here, maybe you receive a check. Obviously, there are reasons. It doesn’t just appear. So, however you receive the money, show gratitude for the gift. If you are grateful, the universe will know that you are ready to receive more of it. However long it takes, it is up to the universe, not you. But, remember to just be grateful.

by Michael Griffin

The Law of Attraction is based on the notion that “like attracts like.” The difficulty many encounter with this principle is when they attempt to use the Law without all the essential components; they fail to achieve the desired result. It is similar to baking a cake without all the necessary ingredients. If one is missing, the cake will not come out right. It is easy to understand why the Law of Attraction is so appealing, but the lack of understanding often leads to some common mistakes:

Saying the Words

Positive thinking is not just a recitation of words and phrases in the hopes that saying them will change your life. These words must come with real emotions. You must believe what you are saying. If you say “I deserve to get that promotion,” then you must believe that it is true. That is when you will begin to see changes.

Impatience

Patience is indeed, a virtue. If you have asked for it, it’s coming. It is important to remember that the Law works on its schedule, not yours.  You must also believe in the Law. If you do, then just sit back and relax. It’s on its way.

Frustration and disappointment at not receiving your desires when you want them only keeps you out of alignment with the Law. Your actions show that you are focusing on what you don’t have yet.

When you are open, trusting, and ready to receive, then Allowing comes into play. But, first impatience must be absent for this change to happen.

Interference

The Law of Attraction states, Ask-Accept-Allow. You are responsible for the first and third step. The Universe takes care of the second step. If you interfere, then you are not letting the Universe play its intended role in the Law.  In this regard, you are illustrating your lack of trust in the Law of Attraction which is trying to give you what you desire.

Future Returns

Gratitude is an essential component to manifesting dreams. When you focus on a plan for the future all those things will eventually manifest. Though, you must remember to be grateful for your whatever you are asking for whether the car, perfect weight, soul mate, European trip.  The day-to-day experience is what captures your attention and what you focus your attention on grows.

Those are the factors to focus on when implementing the law of attraction in your life.  Visit http://www.TheRealMikeGriffin.com and learn more about it.

By Michael Griffin

There are lots of books about the law of attraction and law of attraction techniques: yet the law is simple and you can grasp it in minutes. Like so many good things the law may mean a profound change in the way you think and see life. Try these ideas on:

• You must only ask to receive
• Believe it before you see it
• Your thoughts are things
• What you think is shaping reality
• Everything is energy and it is attracted or repelled by you.

None of those ideas are difficult and they underpin the Law of Attraction. Perhaps you’ve heard them from various Guru’s, you may have learned them in Church, many scriptures state the law of attraction, or aspects of it, in different ways.

If you recognize that the law of attraction has everything to do with the way you think, then what do you do about all the negative thoughts that swirl around in most peoples heads. The law of attraction says see the outcome you want and yet most of us have been conditioned to look at the worst things happening so we live a life of fear. The law seeks to empower you, to show you the best things happening, to let you live your life in a state of happiness and courage. So how to deal with these negative thoughts?

This is where the whole thing pivots. What you want is possible, believe that first. Learn to see and feel the possible in your minds eye – visualize.

Learn to create feelings of well being, happiness and gratitude. And the gratitude is for not only what you already have, no matter what it is, but for the thing that is possible, that you are now being grateful that it is here.

While you are doing this, play the Pollyanna game. Go rent the Disney movie and see how Pollyanna does it. There is something good in everything just learn to find it. If this sounds crazy, that’s OK, be crazy like Pollyanna and see the good in things, in people, in events, and in your life. You will create a positive energy and momentum in your life that will return more of the same to you.

On The Abby Road Album The Beatles sang, “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.” Love is the positive energy that comes along with the law of attraction.

What is the best law of attraction technique? You must only ask and receive. You will find that both simple and complex as you wrap your mind around all that it means.

The Law of Attraction is working in your life right now. The question is, is it operating randomly or by your deliberate intention? I invite you to visit http://www.TheRealMikeGriffin.com and pick up the free audio books in the sidebar.

BILL MOYERS: Do you ever have the sense of… being helped by hidden hands?

JOSEPH CAMPBELL: All the time. It is miraculous. I even have a superstition that has grown on me as a result of invisible hands coming all the time – namely, that if you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in your field of bliss, and they open doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be.

That quote from The Joseph Campbell Foundation is remarkable.  It says to me that God put an inner compass in each of us and that compass is bliss.

In The Secret, In The Science of Getting Rich, and anywhere that the Law of Attraction is discussed they speak of gratitude and getting your emotions involved in the vision you create.  They are all speaking of bliss though not quite as eloquently as Joseph Campbell.  You should have joy in your life… you know your whole life long, it whatever it is you are doing, you are seeking happiness.  Sometimes what we perceive in our conscious mind as happiness is warped from what our inner compass says, yet we are seeking happiness.

The trick is to move past those screams of consciousness and listen to the bliss within.  The bliss is our compass in life and it is not deflected by the magnetizing affects of the world around us.  If we bring a compass near a magnet it will no longer point North.  Our bliss is the joy within and it always points to our true North we need only follow it.

Is it a natural state to be grateful? For some people it seems the answer is no and yet gratitude is one of the most powerful forces that we can take on in our live. Have you ever thought of gratitude as a force at work?

There is nothing finer to bring joy into your life than feeling gratitude well up. And joy makes everything you do easier. Joy is a great oil to soothe and to keep those gears of life running smoothly and what could be more natural.

I’m grateful I found this video to share…

People are terrible predictors of what will bring them happiness. We think this or that and with a little time and perspective we see that the object sought did not bring happiness but increased stress. Or maybe we see it was the chase that brought happiness or something so simple like a sugar cube.

What brings you happiness? What brings satisfaction? Are the two related?

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.  –Albert Schweitzer

We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.  –Anne Frank

Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.  Franklin D. Roosevelt

Many people have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.  –Helen Keller

That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest.  –Henry David Thoreau

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.  –Denis Waitley

Today is Sunday, a day of renewal, a day of beginnings and a day for a fresh look at The Science of Getting Rich.

There is no limit to the supply of Formless Stuff, or Original Substance. The universe is made out of it; but it was not all used in making the universe. The spaces in, through, and between the forms of the visible universe are permeated and filled with the Original Substance; with the formless Stuff; with the raw material of all things. Ten thousand times as much as has been made might still be made, and even then we should not have exhausted the supply of universal raw material.

If you watch the news regularly, if you are out of work, or under-employed it is easy to see a world of lack around you.  It is easy to see the circumstances and let them control what you are thinking.  To let the circumstance spiral your state of mind down.

Emerson says: “God enters by a private door into every individual.”

Wattles teaches that the supply is limitless.  He is not alone in this teaching, if you are Christian or Jew your Bible says: “Before you call I will answer…”  That says your answer is here, you just need receive it.  If you are Muslim your Holy book says: “Which of your Lords blessings would you deny…”  I’ve always found that profound.  I have no experience with Hindu or other religions scriptures but I am certain that they too contain this timeless truth, that your needs are taken care of.

Let me switch for a moment.  Masard Emoto* had got advice from his mother after he nearly drowned in the ocean when he was a young boy, he flailed had around and was sinking and taking water in before his rescue:

…she gave me some advice based on her ability to swim and float in water: “you can float if you just give in,” she said.  She said if I let the water lift me instead of trying to resist it, it would pick me up and carry me.

Emoto talks about this advise coming back to him as he tries to gently flow in the direction he wants his life to take.

Emoto’s mother’s advise is good to think about in challenging times.  When you are in a constant state of struggle and resistance and fighting the circumstances then you are in the same act of resistance that Emoto was in as he was drowning.  You must come from that into a state of trusting.  Trusting that you will be lifted, that you will be carried to safty by the currents of life.

This is not to say that you do nothing, far from it.  The great faiths would have you pray.  And they would have you end the prayer in gratitude.  The stories of faith talk of inspiration and then the recipient of the inspiration acting out of it.  This is not struggle but it is being directed into the flow of life.

Jerry and Ester Hicks, and Abraham talk of going with the flow and not resiting by trying to go up stream.  But if you are constantly fighting and fighting then you are not with the flow and you are not getting the best from life.  When Esther Hicks channels Abraham they are always talking about the best for you being down stream and not where the struggle is.  When you are in harmony you will find your best.

The law of attraction is about these great truths.  Whether you accept any of the faiths mentioned or none, the truths they discuss are real.  So begin to trust, as if you were in water and could not touch bottom, trust that the water would lift you, that it will carry you.

There really is a limitless supply, begin to trust, visualize, collect ideas, take action on them in the spirit of trust.  Whatever the situation, don’t be the drowning man flailing aimlessly reaching for this, then that and never able to connect with any of it.  Trust – see the thing you want to see, hold it in the formless substance, turn it round in your mind.   Allow the ideas to come.  Take steady and thoughtful action.   Per Wattles: by thought the thing is created, by action it is received.

So consider the vision you want.  Consider what it would be like if you could be in that vision, the peace and gratitude.  The law of attraction teaches that you have just created the thing and to receive it you continue to hold the vision and the gratitude and you will get the ideas that will allow you to take the right action to receive it.   You do these things by being in the flow not by being in a constant state of turmoil and unbelief.  Believe….   See yourself and the things you want in the flow of your life.  As you trust and flow and believe these things become a part of your reality.  Your thoughts affect your environment…  this is faith.

*The Secret Life of Water copyright 2005 by Masaru Emoto.  Emoto became well known when his work on the affects of thought and prayer on the formation of water crystals was featured in the film “What The Bleep Do We Know.”  An earlier film about some of the same ideas as “The Secret” and which put forth the ideas of Quantum Physics as an explanation of the law of attraction.

At our Law of Attraction Mastery page you will find the several stages of learning about the law of attraction that will lead to mastery.

Here are three ideas to help your understanding:

1. Visualize your outcome. This could be a thing or the way you’d like a situation to turn out. See it in as much detail as you can. For example if you want a new car sit in it, hear the sound of the tight fitting doors closing, smell the leather of the interior, hear the rich bass from the radio. As you drive feel the acceleration. You get the idea, make as much detail as you can.
2. Give thanks that you have received the object of step one. Feel a deep gratitude and realize that it is yours. Wallace Wattles, in The Science of Getting Rich, says: “by thought the thing is created, by action you receive.” And this brings us to step 3.
3. By action you receive: as you go through your day let the memory of your visualization come into mind, no need for continued meditation, but just let the thought pass through. Soon you’ll also be getting thoughts about the actions you need to take. When these thoughts come take the action, don’t be timid, take the action with confidence.

The law of attraction was popularized by The Secret but you need a book like The Science of Getting Rich to learn the more precise details of it’s use. At the end of the video you will receive information about links to the free E-Book and free Audio-Book of The Science of Getting Rich also in the resources sidebar and the link to a free E-Book of Bob Proctor’s You Were Born Rich.

You will also learn of additional teaching about mastering the law of attraction. You can also visit The Master The Law Of Attraction page and learn more about how to Master The Law of Attraction. These materials will jump-start your use of the law of attraction so that you can truly master it.
