Focus and feel good…that’s it, right? That is all you have to do to get what it is that you want in life through the Law of Attraction. Yes…and no.

Yes you should have a focus and keep your eyes on the focus. And yes you should feel good as you focus but there is much more to applying the Law of Attraction. Here’s a list to check to see if you are taking care of all the steps needed to attain the life that you want.

1. Enjoy life now while your desire is coming to you. Most people think that they will be happy when they receive all that they want in life and that is when they will be happy, not now. It really is the other way around. You have to be happy with life and enjoy life now and then the Universe will bring you more to be happy about. Find happiness in everyday things and the Universe will attract back to you the feelings of happiness in your life.

2. Take apart any repetitive negative thought patterns you may have that could be slowing the LOA process down. Part of the reason you may not have the life you want yet is because you have repetitive thought patterns that keep you in the place you are. You have to find your negative patterns and delete them and replace them with positive patterns. This takes time and practice but is well worth it. When you begin to see a change in your repetitive thought patterns, your life will change at a quicker rate to the life that you envision.

3. Keeping a positive focus on what you want even in seemingly bad situations. Just because everything seems to fall apart doesn’t mean that your desire isn’t coming to you. Keep your positive focus and stay balanced on those days that seem crazy and know that the Universe is just breaking a few eggs for your omelet. (your desires)

4. Know that no matter what you are always taken care of. As long as you know it and trust the Universe, you will have these thoughts and feelings brought right back to you in a wonderful situation.

5. What ever you put out about life and people will come back to you. If you are condemning others, you will be condemned. If you are helping and enjoying others, the same will come back to you.

6. Be grateful for everything in your life and everything that is coming into your life. Need we say more?

7. See life through the ‘inner you’, your Core Being and not through the eyes of the ego or personality of the physical self. By doing so you will be able to understand why things happen and how everything will come to you because the Core Being that is within you is unconditional love, always approving, and understands everything you do. When you live from this inner you, life becomes much easier to see and understand.

These are just a few to start with to help you attain the life you desire.

Have you seen any miracles lately? Or maybe experienced one or two of your own? Do you even believe in miracles these days? Regardless of how you define one, when you start looking for miracles, you’ll find life is filled with them. Even better, when you understand the nature of miracles and how they come about, you can create your own at will.

Miracle-making is a highly underrated activity, as many assume it’s left in the hands of a higher power and not within our personal purview to create magic. Although there are books on the subject and plenty of folks practicing it already, most of us weren’t taught to believe we can create whatever we want.

In fact, we’re usually taught the opposite: that it takes hard work and perseverance to get by. Anyone believing in wishes, fairy tale endings, or spending time daydreaming is admonished to be realistic and not get their hopes up. We’re trained to deny our wants and desires to avoid disappointment in a harsh and unfair life.

Nothing could be further from the truth, it turns out. We can create miracles. We can create whatever we want in our lives. All it takes is believing it and daring to want whatever we want.

What Makes a Miracle?
What would constitute a miracle in your life? Some of us use the term loosely, but that doesn’t deny the wonder and marvel we feel when the swim suit looks as good on us as it did in the catalogue, or we discover the job of our dreams we didn’t know existed, or the vet tells us there’s an effective affordable treatment for our ailing dog.

I suspect it’s partly because we’re so used to bad news that when things do go our way, it feels extraordinary or magical. The more we think something is unlikely or impossible to happen, the more miraculous it feels when it does.

Webster defines a miracle as an “extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment.” On his ABC Radio National show “Encounter,” David Rutledge questioned whether miracles really even occur, since all miracles could be “explained rationally if our rational apprehension was up to the task.” He paraphrased St. Augustine in saying when something extraordinary can be explained rationally, it’s no longer miraculous.

Indeed. It sounded miraculous to me when researchers recently announced they successfully made a copper cylinder appear to disappear. But after reading their explanation of how metamaterials guide electromagnetic waves around a central region so objects within the region don’t disturb electromagnetic fields, thus creating invisibility, it seemed perfectly logical to make something disappear. What took so long to create that? After all, it’s just metamaterials guiding electromagnetic waves around the object. What’s next, walking on water?

But just because something can be explained logically doesn’t make it any less miraculous. In fact, if anything, it brings us closer to believing in and allowing miracles into our daily lives. Why wait for the logical explanation before we believe in it? Let’s embrace the miracles awaiting us now.

This brings up two important points regarding miracles and our ability to manifest them.
When we’re consciously aware of and grateful for the miracles present in life, we invite more in (because like attracts like and we get what we focus on). Second, when we believe miracles exist and that they can happen to us, we’re aligned to experience them.

Our Personal Miracles
What miracles do you take for granted? They are present everywhere, in each of our lives. As you begin to see them, you allow more to manifest. What miracle would you like to see happen next?

A woman who has always struggled in relationship feels like she’s been gifted by the gods when Mr. Right appears. Someone who’s fighting the weight battle feels like a superhero when he drops 20 pounds and keeps them off through the holidays. One of my favorite personal miracles was quitting my corporate job after five years of talking about it, throughout which I dreaded every work day and feared financial ruin to give up a steady paycheck. People around me, and myself for that matter, were incredulous when I actually did it. It felt like a miracle that I found the courage to create change.

Morris Goodman, dubbed the “Miracle Man,” broke nearly every bone in his body (including his skull and spinal cord) when he crashed his plane. Although he wasn’t expected to live, Morris not only survived, but recovered from a coma and proved doctors wrong after they said he would never walk, speak or function normally again. Today he’s one of the most inspiring motivational speakers on circuit.

Morris’ wife, Cathy, created her own miracle by reversing a breast cancer diagnosis simply by using laugh therapy. We often hear stories of people who use the power of their mind to eliminate tumors or survive severely terminal cancer diagnoses.

Regardless of what makes a miracle for someone else, what would yours be? What would amaze and astonish you, and make you believe that not only do marvelous things happen, but that they happen to you?

Once you get a handle on what you’d love to see happen in your life, you’ve taken the first step to experience it.

Miracle Making 101
It might even be a miracle that today we can openly discuss creating them, since in the past this sort of “blasphemy” could have earned a spot at the burned stake. In fact, there are many contributors spreading the word about deliberate creation today.

Todd Michaels’ “Twelve Conditions of a Miracle,” Michael Rann’s “Shortcut to a Miracle,” “The Secret” movie, “Ask and It Is Given” by Abraham-Hicks, even the mysterious Emerald Tablet by Hermes - the list is long of those encouraging us to embrace our powers to create miracles. Larry King even got in on the action last month when he interviewed various authorities on creating reality with your thoughts.

Are you ready to order up a miracle this holiday season? Here’s how to get started:

1) Believe it’s possible. It’s a challenge to create something you don’t believe in, so the first step is to embrace your ability to manifest what you want. Even if you can’t completely buy into the thought that you can create whatever your heart desires, start by entertaining it as a possibility. The more you consider the thought, the more successful results you’ll experience - and the easier it becomes to believe.

2) Choose what you want. Get clear about what you’d like to see happen in your life, whether it’s something you’d like to do, be or have. The sky is no limit and you get what you ask for, so make it good!

Start small if that feels more comfortable. Enjoy manifesting rock star parking spots during holiday shopping traffic and truly delightful company parties. Once you gain confidence in your miracle-making capabilities, you can work your way up to the more exciting stuff.

Don’t let anyone talk you out of what you choose, and forget whatever you’ve heard or believed in the past about what is or isn’t possible. We live in a realm of infinite possibilities.

3) Feel it now. Your miracle-making capacity lies within (in your thoughts and feelings), so you won’t need magic wands, hats or potions - although they might add to the fun. All you need is the discipline to direct your thoughts and feelings in the direction of the miracle you’re conjuring up. Focus on what you want, instead of the absence of it.

Set an intention that you will allow this miracle to unfold in your life, and enjoy the feelings that thought brings up. Imagine what it feels like to experience this event or thing now. So much of your energy has been unconsciously directed toward “not wanting” the things you deeply want in life that this step may feel like a breath of fresh air for your true self.

4) Do what feels good. Many of us have lives filled with things that don’t feel good, so this final step could entail dramatic change. It may mean new jobs, new relationships, new lifestyles. The way you feel dictates what you attract, so as you make feeling good a higher priority, you’ll find life naturally gets better. Feeling good is a fun practice that allows you to naturally and effortlessly create miracles on purpose.

Remember that everyone’s “feel good” is different, so don’t look to anyone else for what should feel good to you. Trust your inner guidance and follow it.

With this process you become much more deliberate about what you create in your life. You believe in your ability to get what you want; focus on what you want instead of what you don’t want; feel what it feels like to have it; and purposely do what feels good - raising your vibration and increasing your power to create the life of your dreams.

So have fun flexing your miracle muscles as you wrap up 2006, and set your sights high for the New Year. It is our destiny to continually expand what we believe possible for ourselves and our world. Now that we’ve got invisible figured out, we can move on to reversing aging and disease; an abundance of time and money; and loving our “enemies.” There are no limits when we free ourselves from the boundaries of what we thought possible!

Try to imagine the worlds largest and most powerful electro magnet! A magnet so big and so powerful that if connected to the worlds largest crane, it could lift a thousand foot ship right up out of the water and gentle place it in dry dock. WOW! That is one powerful magnet.

Now, imagine yourself with all of your desires, able to harness the power of this magnet. And just imagine that this magnet attracts everything you want in life, directly into your possession. How wonderful would that be?

What if the house of your dreams, the cars, boats, toys, vacations, careers or companies and especially if being free and truly happy were all within your reach? How would you feel?

Does absolutely joyful or maybe even in a “state of bliss” come to mind?

Well, every individual on earth has within him or herself easy access to their own personal and private magnet or power as described above. It is in your ability to focus your thoughts, to tap into universal intelligence and make use of the “UNIVERSAL LAW OF ATTRACTION“. This is the strongest force in the universe and every one of us has within, the ability to do this, to do it with very little effort, and to only attract the things we truly desire. The secret is in using a specific formula.

Anyone with the ability to think can and does create reality; they create their own personal reality daily. We all already do this everyday and the beauty is that we can make our reality exactly what you want it to be. It does not matter if you believe this or not, it is still true. It is a “UNIVERSAL LAW” that we cannot escape from. In fact, you and I have already proven this law to be true. We have proven it to be unfailing in our lives over and over again. You see; what we think we are today is just the sum total of all our experiences, thoughts and especially our feelings. It is the feelings or emotions that we attach to every experience and thought that is the real fuel behind what we create and bring into our outward reality. You could say, we attract not so much what we think about but what we feel about, what we are emotional about.

We, no matter who we are, live in two worlds. We have our inner (sub conscious) and outer (conscious) world. Our inner world is where we dream, where we visualize and see things before they happen, it is where we create. Based on our programming, this becomes our automatic thinking and it controls 96 + % of our perceptions, actions and behavior. The important issue here is that are old programming could have been full of un-truths and just plain wrong information from parents, teachers, peers and our own conscious thoughts and feelings about our experiences and false sensory information from our five senses. The fact is; our subconscious mind accepts as absolute truth any information given it by our conscious mind as long as the conscious mind believes it. While this explains a lot of the poor programming, it is also the very reason that reprogramming is possible.

The other world we live in is the outward appearing world we call reality. Here is the kicker; the inner world, our beliefs, our thoughts, and especially the feelings we entertain create our outer world. That’s right, we create our outer world. Good thoughts or bad thoughts and all the varying degrees between the extremes are how we individually create our uniquely different perceptions of reality. Have you heard the expression or statement that “we make our own heaven or hell right here on earth?” Well we do, and we do it every minute of every hour of every day with all the thoughts we entertain and all the feelings we choose to have about those thoughts and all the experiences that we have attracted due to our earlier thoughts and feelings. Sound like a vicious cycle? Well if your thoughts, and I mean most of them, conscious and sub-conscious are positive then the cycle is not vicious, it is beautiful and very welcome.

You see the LAW OF ATTRACTION is used every time we think a thought. Every thought, good or bad is a creation and has power. Thoughts coupled with strong emotions are more powerful thoughts than thoughts with little emotion attached. When I say more powerful, we mean more of an attraction factor; more of a magnetic pull goes out to the universe with them. No, sorry but our thoughts don’t just stay in our heads. Think a thought, any thought, good or bad and it goes out to the universe. If the thought carries real emotion, it is going to create something like itself.

Want to bring about major changes in your life? Want to increase the power or attractive force of your inner magnet? Follow this formula:

1. Learn to meditate and quite your mind. In fact, in time and with proper instruction, you will find that you can actually stop all thought. This gives you clarity, energy and an incredible ability to focus and see reality as it truly is.

2. At the same time, become the right person by reprogramming how and what you think. We call this “MAP Reprogramming” or mental and psychic reprogramming. This is actually based on mystical and ancient teachings from Egypt and Tibet and is so extremely powerful.

3. Create and consistently use tools that help you focus only on the things you truly desire. Create specific affirmations, pictures, vision boards, and recordings from your power and desire lists.

4. Now add the oh-so powerful fuel of “passion” to your desiring and take massive action on the genius ideas that will seem to come out of nowhere.

5. Expect and allow the universe to deliver. It is your divine right to be happy! So do not (through thought) limit yourself from having it all. Only think of the things you truly desire! Take ACTION and be HAPPY, you are a powerful magnet!

Because our thought process is constantly working, the Law of Attraction is constantly working as well. Many of our thoughts are at the unconscious level, so we’re not always aware of what type of energy those thoughts may be creating.

According to the Law of Attraction, if you want something enough and you truly believe it’s possible for you to have it, you’ll probably get it. But the same is true for negative thoughts.

If you spend a lot of time thinking on the things you don’t want or fear, and you believe it’s possible for you to experience them, it’s just as likely they’ll come your way. You can’t avoid unpleasant things by hoping they don’t happen.

Your unconscious is literal and produces negative energy the same as it does positive energy. It doesn’t know the difference. Your unconscious mind doesn’t understand “I don’t want”.

To truly achieve the positive benefits of the Law of Attraction, you have to become aware of what you’re focusing your attention on.

Are you focusing on what you want? Or don’t want? Do you have thoughts or beliefs that are contrary to what you want? If you truly want something, but feel you don’t really deserve it, those thoughts will be translated into energy, and the Universe will “feel” that you don’t deserve it.

Becoming aware of what you’re spending your energy on, enables you to change it. Allowing you to focus all your thoughts on the things you really want.

If you want something, all you have to do is ask for it. Sweeter words have never been spoken. It would be like a dream come true. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be true. Good things really can be yours just from asking for them.

When you know how to ask. That’s the key. Knowing how to ask, and knowing what to ask for. You can ask for anything you want. But asking for a new car when you really want a Porsche, doesn’t mean you’ll be satisfied with just “a new car”. And just saying “I want a Porsche” and then going on about your life as usual probably won’t get it for you.

Focusing your thoughts on getting that new Porsche, picturing yourself driving it, truly believing you deserve it, and allowing it to come to you is the way to get it.

Just asking is only the first step in the Law of Attraction. Feeling and acting as if you’ve received it is the second, knowing you deserve it and allowing it to come to you is the third.

Having doubts about your worthiness produces negative energy. Negative energy produces negative results. If you don’t think you deserve a new Porsche, you won’t get it. If you don’t think the Law of Attraction works, it won’t work for you.

Positive energy is the only way to get positive results. And positive energy is only produced by positive thoughts.

We are always creating our reality by our thoughts. Energy is always flowing where we give our attention. When we feel we are ‘stuck’, we are unconsciously re-creating the same situation for our selves over and over. It is like a car that is stuck in snow - the wheels are moving, the engine is revving, and the car is digging itself in deeper where it is. There is lots of activity going on, just no forward motion.

When we feel ‘stuck’ we are there because we are focused more on the lack of what we want than we are on the having of what we want. We are looking at frustration, and at ‘not yet having’. What we look at is what we get. We are looking at, and fretting about, the situation as it is. That is not where we want to look. We already know we don’t want the situation as it is; we want it to be different. But the only way it can become different is if we ‘live’ in the feeling place of having attained it.

OK, how do we do that? When we look at ‘what is, we are just spinning our wheels and digging ourselves in deeper where we don’t want to be. We have to look at what we want. One: Start by thinking about your goal or desire. Let yourself relax into the feeling of having it or experiencing it. If it is more money, how will you feel as you spend it? If it is a relationship, feel yourself smiling at your partner and laughing at something only the two of you find funny. Is it a new job? Feel your pride as your boss tells you how wonderful you are.

Begin to ask yourself how you will feel when all is the way you want it to be? What will you be doing? Two: Then ask yourself why you want it. What other wonderful things will this lead to? How will your life be better? Spend some time focusing on that. Being in the feeling or with the feeling is the energy that brings it to you. Don’t give any thought to the fact that you don’t have it yet, just think about how it will feel when you do.

Three: Say to yourself, “Wouldn’t it be nice if . . .” and let yourself daydream all kinds of wonderful things for yourself. Say, “Isn’t it wonderful that . . .” and pretend that it has all come to pass exactly the way you want it. This softens the resistance around your desire and lets it begin to enter your world. Don’t worry about the future tense of the words, just concentrate on the feelings you have with these statements. What you are doing here is softening your vibration of ‘not having’. If you find yourself feeling a joyful anticipation, you are doing this right.

Four: Look around you for examples of others who have, or are doing what, you want. If they can do it, so can you. How do you think they are feeling? What are they thinking to have or experience that? See evidence of it happening around you. Notice that the Universe can provide it in many ways to many people. Look for signs of its coming.

Do you look around at others and feel ‘not good enough’? One of the major reasons our manifestations are limited are our feelings of unworthiness. It is our own lack of self love that restricts our joyfull-ness.

Five: Start a BOPPA - a book of positive, personal aspects of yourself. Get a pretty notebook with blank pages. Write down all the wonderful things you can think of about yourself. No matter how small or how insignificant, write them down. Every day, come back to it and add a few more. You can write things like, “I listened to my brother on the phone today while he was complaining,” or “My fingernails are clean and neat.” or “I’m proud of myself for being patient with that sales clerk when I really wanted to bite her head off”. As you read these back to yourself, you will find you liking yourself more. And as you like yourself more, you will find your manifestations come easier. Honest.

Six: Do a focus wheel. Draw a circle in the center of a piece of paper. In the center write the thought you want to feel better about. It can be as simple as “I want to move toward my goal”, or it can be more specific, like, “My leg is healed.” Then, around that circle, like spokes of a wheel, start writing statements supporting your goal or desire. Radiate them out like numbers on a clock. Go around the wheel, writing reasons why you know your goal is coming, or why you want it, or evidence you’ve seen that encourages you. “For over an hour today, my leg felt fine.” “I can stand longer than I used to.” “My body knows just how to heal itself.” “The rest of my body is in perfect health.” “Perfect health can be in my leg, too” When you are finished writing, go around the circle and read what you wrote, allowing yourself to feel the relief of it. By the time you are finished, you will have spent quite a few minutes focused on why the statement in the center is true. You will have substantially lessened your resistance, moving from your ‘stuck’ feeling into expectation.

Seven: Soothe yourself. Talk to yourself as if you are speaking to your inner two year old. Say things like, “Even though I don’t have it yet, I know I’m getting closer,” and “Good things always happen to me,” and “I’m becoming more conscious of the vibration I put out and as I do, I’m creating more of what I want”. Be gentle. Be kind to yourself. Remind yourself that the Universe is always giving, and that good is the natural order of things.

The common thread in all of these exercises is that they focus on the joy of having, doing or being what you want for more than 17 seconds. It takes 17 seconds for an idea to draw a similar idea to it. The longer you can hold your thought on your desires, the faster they will manifest. Focus on the joy. The joy will pull your desires to you.
