The Law of Attraction

I don't remember when I actually first heard about the Law of Attraction but since last year, I seem to have been attracting lessons in it from many sources. The films 'What The Bleep Do We Know' and 'The Secret' along with a wonderful little book called "Excuse me, Your Life is Waiting!' and its companion 'Playbook' (more like a mental and emotional workout!) have been some of my sources of inspiration.

It has been through taking the courageous step into the alien world of Network Marketing that I have come across such wonderful Life Instructions. Who said Life didn't come with a manual? There's lots out there! One of the most inspirational people I have heard of is Bob Proctor. I read his book 'You Were Born Rich' and found many ideas that were challenging but stimulating. Like many people, I grew up with some negative beliefs around money that have been very successful in..er..protecting me from it. Now I'm developing my Prosperity Consciousness having realised that money is just energy and my inner attitude towards it is reflected in my experience of it.

I am enjoying financial abundance.

OK, so that little seed is still growing, but last year when my friend and I went shopping together we decided to go to Japan. At the time, there was no way I could afford it, being self-employed with a very new business and less than no savings. Even so, I was determined that I would go and took steps to plan the holiday. I put pictures of Japan on my bedroom wall, along with an affirmation stating when we would go and later, a little map when we had decided where. I opened myself to the possibility and bit by bit things started to happen.

We found the perfect tour company which would arrange travel and accomodation but allow us a great deal of freedom (Inside Japan Tours, I heartily recommend them). I was studying Japanese more intensely and had made some pen-pals who we arranged to meet. I realised one day that I would need a lot more capacity in my old camera so asked for a new memory card for my birthday. That proved hard to find and expensive, so instead, it was suggested that I could get a newer second hand camera. Thanks to my Dad's talent for rooting out information, we found the perfect one...on eBay. There was a chance that we'd lose the bid but I decided to put the Law of Attraction into work again and visualised like mad! I could imagine myself in Japan taking lots of pictures. I pictured the little camera in my hand, how it felt, how happy and grateful I was to have it. The night before the end of the auction, I wrote a whole page of 'Thankyou for my camera!' Just minutes before the auction finished whilst the outcome was still very uncertain, there I was in the lounge jumping up and down saying THANKYOU FOR MY CAMERA! with childlike giggles of glee.

And guess what? The Universe delivered my camera to me and I took over 200 photographs when I had the most amazing holiday of my life yet in Japan.

There have been times when I tried to put the Law of Attraction to work, but it didn't quite happen. Then again, I wasn't really feeeeling it. I didn't really savour it in my imagination. I wasn't really grateful because some little mental saboteur kept reminding me that this wasn't reality. (It's been very good at hijacking my money energy before I can manifest it but I'm starting to get the better of it now).

Bottom line is, if you really desire something, feel it as though it's already yours, picture yourself with it clearly and often. Have fun stating your desire in the present tense. Don't be embarrassed to get excited about it! Have fun but most of all, be grateful and trust that if it is in your best interests to have it, it will be delivered by Universal Special Delivery, with love.
