How To Control The Law Of Attraction

How to Use The Secret in the Real World

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

The incredible popularity of The Secret DVD has millions of people trying to improve their lives by thinking better thoughts and by holding positive thoughts. But thinking alone will do very little to manifest your desires. There are, however, very simple steps you can follow to truly live the life you imagine

Steps

1. Remember that thoughts are energy. Even scientists will not dispute that. But knowing that is only step one to fully understanding the Law of Attraction.
   
2. Understand that "like attracts like" does not mean that just by thinking about something makes the thinker like that which he/she is thinking about. You have to become a person who gets those things you want to manifest. Thoughts are powerful and have an incredible effect on how you respond to everything in life. But to truly use and understand The Secret, know that you will attract into your life what you want only after you become the type of person who attracts that which you desire. Very confusing, I know, but critical to manifestation. If you desire more money, don't just think about receiving more money, but "act as if" you are someone who already has the amount of money you desire. James Allen wrote that a man becomes what he thinks about. But this is true ONLY if the thinking man then acts upon his thoughts.
   
3. Live in the Now. So much of our time is spent thinking about the past or imagining the future, but the Universe only knows "now." God is always in the present, and so do you need to be in the present in order to manifest. Thinking about your desires as something you will attain sometime in the future sends the message to yourself and the universe that you will always be someone who will be receiving "in the future." The future never happens. Only the Now is real. Think and act as if, in the "now."
   
4. Surround yourself with like minded people. Nothing can drain your energy faster than listening to a complainer. Sooner or later, that negativity will effect you and cause you to begin acting and thinking like someone whom you do not desire to be.
   
5. Spend time, everyday, in the GAP. The GAP meditation simply means to spend time in the silence that exists in between your thoughts. Doing a GAP style meditation for 15 minutes each day can really help you control your thinking better. It also is a wonderful way to re-energize yourself.
   
6. Don't apply time limits. Remember, there is only "now." Saying that you want to manifest a new love within the next month is like telling the Universe that you don't want a new love now. For "now" is all the Universe knows, as "now" is all that truly exists.
