Visualising is one of the most popular tools in your spiritual toolbox and there are so many ways of using it.  Whether to use it with your intuition and have energies represented to you symbolically, to change how you see yourself or a situation, or many other ways in using your ‘inner mind’ with this tool of “seeing from within”.  Today you will experience how you can better use it as a tool to more effectively harness the Law of Attraction and manifest more of what you want.

People often use visualization but then say that they do not get what they want.  Why is that?

Because it is not just about visualizing.  It is a tool.  Manifesting is about a relationship you have within yourself with what you want.  Visualization is a tool to massage that relationship and work with your own energy in relation to what you want.

When visualizing, you see the end in mind, but you also relate it to your emotions.  That’s how you use it to get better at manifesting.  As you visualize, be sensitive to what your emotions are telling you.  When it comes to manifesting, adjust what you visualize so it feels as good or as real as it can.

Also do remember, it does not have to be that you visually (or necessarily clearly) ‘see’ something, it can be a ‘sense’ that you get.

Consider the following:

– What can I visualize that brings me great delight?
– What are the aspects of my goal(s) that feel good to me?
– What can I see beyond my goal, into the future, that feels good to me?
– If I had no fear and no doubts, what would I allow myself to see?
– If I was to be bold and outrageous, what do I allow myself to see?

This is just the start to using visualization to benefit yourself and the lives of those around you…

Are you going through some situation right now, it may be recent, or it may be long-standing, and you wonder when you will be rid of it or how you will resolve it?  Consider how the situation can actually serve you…

The challenges you think stop you having what you want may be exactly what are needed TO have what you want…

 
When we go through something challenging, it can sometimes serve us in so many ways, besides the hindrance it may appear to be, in the grander scheme of things.
 
For example, the financial challenges someone is experiencing may be exactly what they need to more clearly notice the opportunities around them…
 
Or the person you think is an obstacle may be giving you information about yourself that may serve you in making changes within yourself to be with the love of your life…
 
It's like the farmer who finds a strange vegetation besides his crops…at first he fights it, but then realises that it is actually edible and can add it to the rest of his harvest to sell it and make a profit…
 
What possibilities and opportunities exist in your life right now that you haven't noticed yet?  

There may be moments when the journey isn't perfect, but that doesn't mean you are not on the perfect journey for you.

Have you worked with yourself on your own beliefs and energy?  How was it for you?

This has been a bit of a theme recently as I've been sharing information on my group calls about working with your own beliefs and energy.

 We experience what we do in our lives and go through the changes we need to experience.  Whether it be to move towards something or to move away from something, or both.  Change is a constant in life, as is your own growth and evolution. 

 How you handle it and how easily you go through it, is up to you.  Below are some insights that may serve and inspire you in what you experience. 

1 – Change CAN happen quickly?

Some changes can appear to be difficult, and some things can need work.  But…change can also happen quickly.  One of the keys is in identifying the centre of the issue or the key dynamics and patterns in play.

This is where I feel many people miss out…whether they are using spiritual healing, EFT, NLP, therapy, or other tools, they don't get to what the issue or the patterns are.  Once you get good at finding this, it can be easy and intuitive in finding it in yourself and others.

2 – It doesn't always have to take lots of 'work', it can oftentimes be just about shining the light

Oftentimes when you find the real issue and see it, it is so obvious, it disappears (I often get this with clients or those on the group calls). The reason for this is because your present day awareness is greater than when you first took on the 'problem'.  When you clearly identify what the issue is – when you have the centre of the issue – and shine your awareness and wisdom from today upon it (oftentimes just by being consciously aware of it), it can resolve itself.

Where people might have challenges with this and that not happen is if their awareness isn't to a sufficient degree to resolve the issue.  In which case it is then about sharing insights and awareness with the person (as an example, when working with others and if this happened to be the case, I would then work on educating them, sharing perspectives, sharing resources such as my book, content, etc with them in increasing their awareness to shine their light) such that they DO create a separation and movement from the issue and it disappears.

3 – Can change be permanent?

This comes down to various factors, particularly to how well integrated the change is.  If the new 'you' has conflicts of self sabotage, then it's not so easy. Identify how the new 'you' feels, play it through in your mind, make it feel good.  In fact, if you can see the new 'you' as more 'you' than you have ever been, you are on your way.

I believe if change is healthy, progressive, organic, amongst other things, then it will stay.   All that I teach (or when I work with others) is geared towards that, towards progression, evolution, growth, learning, self-sufficiency, self-empowerment, self-awareness, and so on.

 Realise…life will happen…and there will be changes…there may be ups and downs…how you navigate this journey and your course will determine how you feel and the degree of happiness and satisfaction you experience… 

There may be moments when the journey isn't perfect, but that doesn't mean you are not on the perfect journey for you…

I had a very pleasant surprise yesterday.  Lisa Ellwood (she will tell you below how she came across me) tagged me on a note on Facebook that she had written.

A year ago I wrote a post on “Going into the New Year with Momentum” where I mentioned about how, through your perspective, you can have a great momentum in going into the New Year.  I didn’t know until I saw Lisa’s note yesterday, that she had applied what was in that note and (in her words) EVERYTHING she had written had come to fruition even down to the time periods specified.  As she will tell you, she is someone who has had some challenges, including “clinical depression”.

I will paste Lisa’s note and do feel free to share your thoughts and write YOUR answers to my exercise in the comments below.

By the way, on Saturday 9th January there will be a free teleseminar about making the most of 2010 for YOU, keep an eye out for more details soon.

My latest New Years Tradition: Going Into the New Year With Momentum

This is a great addition to my New Year’s Traditions.

My dear friend Michelle H. turned me onto The Manifesting & Law of Attraction Page founded and run by Hemal Radia here on Facebook last year (http://www.facebook.com/ManifestingLOA). The timing was quite fortuitous as it was nearing Christmas.

Hemal did a post where he talked about *Going into the New Year with momentum*. In essence, you are compelled to do a lot of self-reflection – never a bad thing at all and especially if you are in denial about taking control of your life and your ability to create the future that you want for yourself. I can honestly say that just about everything I wrote for 2009 came to fruition even down to the time periods specified. Quite profound for one who struggles with positive thinking (being clinically depressed doesn’t help), meditation and visualisation.

Below is the exercise Hemal had us follow. I’ve made a couple of slight tweaks but this is the general format.

MANIFESTING & LAW OF ATTRACTION

GOING INTO THE NEW YEAR (2010) WITH MOMENTUM

1 – Write at least 3 to 5 things that you have Appreciated about this year

2 – Write at least 3 to 5 things (or more) that you are Anticipating/Excited about next year

3 – This time next year, what will you be delighted and proud with? What will have happened? (You can do this for the end of Jan too, what will you be proud of by then?)

Here is a question that someone asked on the Universal Law of Attraction group on Facebook,

"Has anyone ever used meditation with the Law of Attraction?  Someone said she used meditation with Law of Attraction to manifest her desires. I was wondering has anyone incorporated meditation with the Law of Attraction?"

What meditation does is it quietens the mind and this serves various purposes,

IT'S ABOUT LETTING IT IN

Firstly as you quieten your mind and think less thoughts in general (less 'noise') you are likely to have less resistant thoughts and so you will be 'allowing' what you want better. You are always connected to the Universe/Source/God (choose whichever word resonates for you) and you are only not letting it in through your day-to-day resistant thoughts ('resistant' meaning when you think or feel of something that you don't want), so when you quieten those you are letting in the universal well-being, the natural flow, and so you are naturally in alignment with all that you want (and all that you are from a spiritual perspective).

Also when you have a quieter mind you can put more of your attention on what you DO want
and focus more on that, and of course you are getting vibrational
alignment with what you want that way.

NOT ABOUT 'WORKING HARDER' OR 'TRYING HARDER' NECESSARILY

Getting what you want is not necessarily about 'working harder' or 'trying harder' – which can sometimes imply not being aligned as you are needing to expend 'effort', which is different to free flowing energy and desire and enthusiasm and love for what you want and you taking action through your inspiration – it is about tuning in and letting it in. 

It is not at all about having any less desire, but about how you channel your desire and do it with aligned thoughts and action than misaligned.  You will find that when you are aligned and 'letting it in' things will come to you far more easily than having to 'strive' and 'chase' for things.

Working harder and trying harder work fine from an action or physical point of view but the letting it in and allowing is from a spiritual perspective where you have greater leverage by having all of the resources of the Universe's or God's or Source's available to you, if you can imagine every cell in the Universe orchestrating with you towards what you want and it being in tune with your harmony and vibration, that is available to YOU!

Decide on an area of your life you’d like to work with or something you would like

1 – Write five thoughts about it

2 – Determine if amongst those 5 thoughts there are thoughts that feel better than your current thoughts on the subject (use your feelings as your guide), if not then write 5 more thoughts, repeat until you have a thought or thoughts that feel better

3 – Replace your current thoughts with the thought or thoughts that feel better/best, make that your way of thinking (practice it, mentally rehearse it if need be), and don’t contradict it with what you used to think

4 – Repeat from step 1, until…

5 – You have what you want

By doing this process you will always be thinking and feeling better and better thoughts:
-The better it feels the more aligned you are to what you want
-The more aligned you are to what you want the closer it is…
…and it manifests on the physical level

-You feelings are telling you how close you are to what you want, they are your guidance from the Universe, God, Source, Higher Self, whatever you want to call it

-When you access a better feeling thought it opens up other thoughts that weren’t previously accessible to you, including ideas, thoughts and inspired actions.  From where you are initially you do not have access to where you will
end up as vibrationally it is too far, but by repeating from your
new perspective each time you have access to new thoughts and feelings
that get you vibrationally where you want to be.  Your physical experience is a manifestation of your vibration

-From the new feeling place you are immeasurably closer to what you want than you would have been by ‘action steps’

-The Universe is not an action one but a vibrational one, by doing the above you are getting closer to what you want far more quickly than you would by action alone, you will have ideas that get you closer, you’ll be in the right time/right place, experience synchronicities, etc, there will be an almost seemingly magical unfolding

So if you’re intending to use Law of Attraction to attract ‘more of the same’, it helps if you’re thinking of….

What You Want

The Universe (and your mind) doesn’t work by exclusion it works by INCLUSION, so you don’t think of the things you don’t want, you THINK OF THE THINGS YOU DO WANT.  If I said to you don’t think of a blue elephant in a pink tree, you had to think about it to ‘not’ think about it didn’t you?  The Universe (and the mind) cannot ‘exclude’ anything you give it, so think of what you want.

Whenever you think about something, whether it is something you want or don’t want, your vibration will reflect that.  The Universe works by inclusion, by what you include in your thoughts and vibration, whether it be something you want or don’t want, it will match your vibration of whatever you are thinking about.

So, you don’t say "I don’t want this, I don’t want this, I don’t want this" etc, you say "I want this, I want this, I want this, this and this and this, and oh this would be so nice" and so on, and practice the habit of doing that, of thinking of WHAT YOU WANT, and Law of Attraction – ‘Universal Manager’, God, Source, or whatever you want to call it – will take care of the rest.

It’s like the dating game, now we’ve heard people say "But (what a fine start that is lol, you know after a ‘But’ you’re going to get something that’s not wanted) I don’t want this and don’t want this and this, oh no, can’t have that," and we say yes, but WHAT DO YOU WANT?  As you focus on what you want, and not contradict it (with ‘don’t want that’) you attract more thoughts like it and more experiences like it and the momentum is in that direction, that IS the Law of Attraction – you attract more of the same.

So you might meet someone who doesn’t quite ‘fit’ in every way and so you say "Oh this Law of Attraction doesn’t work, I got this this and this and this and this but I didn’t get this, it just doesn’t work" so you get back onto it and tweak and adjust to what you DO want. That’s what life was meant to be, a continual never-ending stream, ‘you never get it wrong’…

The Process that is Life

You have experiences…
Including things that give you an indication of what you don’t like…
Desires are born from those experiences, which initially you’re not vibrationally aligned to what you want as at that stage they are usually about what you don’t want….
These create your preferences for what you DO want.  That’s why it’s called ‘contrast’, it is giving you perspective to make choices for what you DO want
And then it’s your job to get up to speed with what you DO want, by thinking thoughts, feelings FROM that place and being and living from it, vibrationally at least….
And the actions will be inspired as a consequence of that, you will be at the right time right place or will do something that later brings it to you, far beyond what you may consciously have be able to plan…

So….you will have acquired that which you want…
Thus creating a new vibrational platform for new desires, there will be new things you don’t like and like before, from this new perspective more preferences will be made and desires set…
You will line up to these desires too just as before…
And you will acquire these…
And so on….

Your Real Journey

Now whilst it may seem it was about ‘acquiring’ and ‘having’, your real journey has been the process you have been going through in having desires and lining up to them, that will have been a journey in itself for you and on a vibrational level you will have expanded, as will the Universe through your expansion.

You are Always Creating New Platforms, New Perspectives

So, you have desires and it’s your job to line up with those desires with your thoughts and emotions and that creates a new vibrational platform from which there will be new perspectives and choices and vantage points that weren’t there before.  Don’t you think when you make your first million you will see things a bit differently?  It’ll be a new perspective, a new platform?  With new desires and preferences emanating from you?

Or when you have your soulmate?  Or when you have your body how you want it?  And you will have new desires from there that you couldn’t have had before because this is a new perspective and you will have new things to line up to, and it continues, and that’s what life and the creation process is meant to be about.  It’s not ‘Oh I’ve made it, now I don’t need to do anything ever again.’  Your purpose here on the physical IS the creation process, the universe WANTS you to expand to your desires and it expands in the process too, you are meant to have desires.  When you don’t you will find there is not a lot of energy or life flowing (isn’t there a statistic that when many people stop working and they don’t have things to look forward to or do that their life expectancy isn’t so high?). Your purpose in life is joy, the details of that is up to you, you have freewill and choice in that.  Your desires and wants are what flows life through you

Milk the Feelings of What you Want

Going back to the title of this post, focus on the things you want and you like, pick them out, like a shopping catalogue.  So if you have people around you whose company you are not enjoying, pick out the things you like about them, or if that’s not easy, pick out the things in your life you are liking, and build from there (it will grow and grow, when you think a thought and hold it you attract more of the same).

If you are in a job  you don’t enjoy, find the aspect you DO like, or once liked or what was so good for you at some point, perhaps it provided money at a time you needed work?  This appreciation will be different to a vibration of lack.

As you pick out things you like, do focus on them, play with them, use your imagination, play games with them.  When you have the money in the bank that you want what will you buy?  And what will it be like? Milk those thoughts for emotional and vibrational value.  FEEL them.  When you make the most of the now, even in just your thoughts and feelings and without changing anything or anyone around you, all sorts of possibilities open up….
