The Law Of Attraction And The Art Of Sales: Part 5 - Chakras and the Law of Attraction

Chakras and the Law of Attraction

It was probably 20 years ago that I first read about the Chakras in a book by Shirley McLaine and I can’t help remembering what a load of rubbish I thought it was. It’s funny how experience changes our perception and so it has been with the Chakras in my life.

About 10 years ago I went through a period of un-wellness, not describable by my regular medicine and resistant to naturopathy and I would just go to bed for 5 days with only a desire to sleep. These bouts went on for about 18 months until a friend referred me to a spiritual healer who brought wellness to me. I believe she removed blockages in my Chakras. This allowed the process of Kundalini, which is the rising of divine energy through the pathway of the Chakras to come forth. Wellness came back to my life for the most part, but this path of un-wellness is quite typical of people enduring Kundalini. I discovered crystals and began meditating with them to manage blockages and life has improved steadily ever since.

“Kundalini is both the energy and essence of life and the practice of becoming aware of it."

I hope I haven’t lost you at this point. I am not advocating this as the only truth, but it was my experience and it has been very compelling. If you Google Kundalini you will see lot’s of discussion of people trying to attain Kundalini and for some it is as if it's a goal in itself almost to the point of bragging its attainment somehow makes them superior.

For me I found it mostly a pain and this is the first time I have ever revealed this experience. I found that blockages of energy and a heightened experience of emotion just made life more difficult. About 9 months ago in frustration with this, I sought out a crystal healer to alleviate the blockages I was experiencing, as the spiritual healer I initially saw had retired. This proved very successful, although on a couple of occasions I was quite ill for few days after, such was the upheaval. But now I certainly feel good strong energy most of the time.

It was the improvement in energy flow that brought me to realise the confluence between the Chakras and the idea from Abraham that our feelings are an indicator of whether we are creating positively or negatively.

“Chakras, as described above, are energy centers along the spine located at major branchings of the human nervous system, beginning at the base of the spinal column and moving upward to the top of the skull. Chakras are considered to be a point or nexus of biophysical energy or prana of the human body. Shumsky states that "prana is the basic component of your subtle body, your energy field, and the entire Chakras system...the key to life and source of energy in the universe."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakras

Have you ever thought about how you experience emotion? Being so powerful in our lives, what is the mechanics of this experience that colours our whole life?

Have you experienced butterflies in your stomach before: a final in a sporting game; speaking in public; a performance; an exam; or any number of stressful situations? This is probably the easiest way to indicate that you are experiencing the influence of your Chakras.


The third Chakra, which is located at the solar plexus has among its influences fear and anxiety. Hence when you are in a stressful situation you are feeling that horrible stomach churning feeling. This is your third Chakra at work as the divine energy transmitted up the spine to your Chakras is your higher-self indicating whether you are creating negatively.

Feelings transmitted through the Chakras can also be positive reaching euphoric at their best, but it seems to me that those negative feelings experienced have a greater “density” which makes them pervasive and persistent, hence we often hold onto them for long periods. I think positive feelings are more ephemeral. More temporary and as such, I think it is why we are more susceptible to carrying negative feelings around. I am sure you have experienced the fleetingness of joy and the persistence of anger and fear, which is why it is so important to search for a better thought and always carry the intention to feel good.

The charkas are your connection to your higher self through which the feelings indicating how you are creating is transmitted and it is well worth pursuing things such as crystals, Bach Flower remedies, Aroma Therapy and Yoga can be used to heighten and manage the effects of the Chakras so you more often “feel good’ enhancing you life and assist you to create positively.

The Law Of Attraction And The Art Of Sales: Part 4 - Setting the Tone

Setting the Tone

Abraham of says: “There is nothing more important than feeling good.”

The reason that this holds true is that your feelings are an indicator to how you are creating. Good feelings indicate positive creation as the vibrations that you are generating through your thoughts, are in alignment with your higher self. Conversely, bad feelings indicate you are out of alignment with your higher self.

I have found the key to maintaining positive creation is to set the tone of your day. I find that often in the morning it is easy to be caught in a “grump” and that I have to look for a positive view for the day. It’s like choosing the background music for your life. Light and easy. Mellow and melancholy. Rocking and invigorating. Happy and bright. The whole mood for the day can be set right here!

The way I like to do this is:

Whilst dozing before getting up, spend a few minutes thinking about what I would really like to happen today. Wouldn’t it be great if……… Then I spend some time feeling about that would be like.

Before work I set aside 15 to 20 minutes to meditate. I find this invaluable because if you are still not tuned to the right feeling this can be the circuit breaker. I think it is like re-booting your computer. All the dud files that are slowing your performance are closed or deleted giving you a clean start.

There are many, many ways to meditate, from religious techniques to high tech methods and you should find the one that suits you. To make things easy here is my “GT’s quick and eaasy method”, which is :

• Find a comfortable quiet place

• Look at each limb: Right Leg……it’s relaxed: Left Leg……It’s relaxed; Right Arm……It’s relaxed; Left Leg……..It’s relaxed: Torso……It’s relaxed.

• Now notice your breath as it flows into your chest. Out of you nose. Do this 5 or 6 times.

• Now just let your breath flow in out.
• Now, the whole point of the exercise is to not think about it. The whole point is to not think about anything and that is easier said than done. As thoughts pop into you head you should notice them and let them go.

“Did I turn the dishwasher off?” Let it go.

“ I hope the boss is in a good mood today?” Let it go.

“I hope the kids are alright at school.” Let it go.

• The whole point is to let go of all that muck we carry around in our life and just be. It will let you become closer to your higher self and does take practice and concentration. I often find that I arrive at work positive and energized whilst everybody else is bemoaning the commencement of another day at work.


This should get you started with meditation but I will go into greater depth later in my Blog.

Now you are calm. “What am I feeling? What do I want? What do I intend?”

This is the tone or the underlying feeling that you are tuning to do for the day.

“I am open to great sales today.”
“I am prosperous and abundant today.”
“I am loving and joyful!”

It is important during the day to regularly check that you are still tuned to the desired tone or feeling because the goings on in life can easily knock you off the desired “channel”.

Ask. “What am I feeling? What do I want? What do I intend?”

Re-set the tone.

I have also found that it is important to take close note of your feelings. When you ask “What am I feeling?” major issues in life such as financial problems can distort the tone. Because they are always there you feel this as normal. The worry is your base feeling, so when you think your in neutral or happy spot you maybe still emitting fear and worry. Look at your feelings closely and choose a thought to move to a better place.

By noticing the underlying your tone you can manage how you are creating. You will be surprised how often you move off the desired “channel”, to a feeling which may have you creating negatively. With a little effort and practice you can quickly move to more positive tones and have a positive, creative and rewarding life.

The Law Of Attraction And The Art Of Sales: Part 3 Mind Your Own Business

Mind Your Own Business As I have worked hard for the last 18 months to become an accomplished sales person of whitegoods, kitchen and electrical appliances one of the larger obstacles I have had to overcome is being intimidated by other people’s performances. Especially in the beginning I would be overcome by how much other people had sold for the day and all the bragging and chest beating that went with this. Our busiest day was usually Saturday and it was frenetic as the sales people swooped on the customers, trying to generate the most sales they could. Periodically we would gather around the coffee machine and compare results for the day. I found this very negative as I would focus on how well other people had done compared to me and become fixated on how poor I felt I had done in comparison. I also found it off putting when sitting at my desk, which was directly opposite the “star” sales person of the store, as he always seemed to have someone sitting there writing an invoice for a sale. My mind would race with thoughts of doom and gloom and self–admonishments of my poor performance in comparison and generally beat up on my self and worry about the consequences of not selling as much other people. As you know the Law of Attraction dictates that like is attracted to like. So obviously all these negative feelings and thoughts I was having meant this was the type of experience I was attracting into my life. I was attracting the exact opposite of my desires, by focusing on other people’s results, which highlighted my own supposed lack of success. Things I found to help alleviate this were to: • Cheer for other people’s results, as discussed in the previous blog, as there is enough for every one. • Ask. “How do I feel? What do I want?” Often the feelings we have about ourselves aren’t a good reflection of the situation. “Is it the end of the world? Are they going to come and sack me right now? Have I go lots of time left in the day to get a good result?” • Search for what I want. “What if I served 3 customers this afternoon? What if I sold $X this month? What a great review I am going to have this month.” So you can see moving to better thoughts will move you to a position of attracting positive things and therefore create a life more closely aligned to your desires. Focusing on your desires rather than what other people have or a doing is important in everyday life as well. Noticing that someone has a better car or house or whatever so that it emotes feelings of lack and inferiority is a sure fire path to creating negatively. You will continue to attract lack into your life. It is important to focus on thoughts that emote the feelings of having and completion and these should move you to feeling good which is a major indicator that your are creating positively. Often as we focus on our desires we will have thoughts that this is not real and such a result or occurrence is preposterous and all this is just not rational. This is the overhang of the “rational” world we grew up in and inhabit. It is important to focus on what you want and not the world as it seems as this is the key to deliberate creation.

The Law Of Attraction And The Art Of Sales: Part 2

Although the following is focused on sales, there are many other scenarios in which these rules can be employed

There is enough for everyone.

Most people who worked in sales will agree that it is normally a “hunting” profession. That is, there’s a limited number of prospects and it is the sales persons job to get out there to hunt down and capture the limited number of sales in market. Determination and persistence are the key attributes sort in sales people. All the processes that exist are usually based on making as many calls as possible, of which a percentage will be genuine potential customers from which an even smaller percentage again will actually become sales.

This capturing of sales is exactly what occurs in the retail environment in which I work. As a limited number of customers enter the store the competition is keen. There is certain amount of polite jostling for position to gain the best advantage.

Where it becomes contentious is when a person sells to someone who another sales person claims as their rightful customer. This often happens when a sales person is having their days off and a customer comes in to purchase and is served by another sales person, who then claims the sale as their own. This practice has the ugly name of “snipping” and is the cause of most disputes within the store and has produced some ugly incidents.

When I first started I was quite consumed by this, diligently checking whether prospective customers had been sold to whilst I was on leave. But I soon found this very negative and that the more I focused on it, the more prevalent it seemed and the more turmoil it created (hello Law of Attraction!) It also seems a bit karmic. I try to be fair and honest when serving customers of colleagues as the temptation to take a client remains, but every time I haven’t been every-time honest it has backfired in my face.

So in all of this, the most important thing to remember is “there is enough for everyone”. Staying positive and open will allow customers to come to you. Focusing on the scarcity of customers, through the Law of Attraction, will bring a scarcity of customers.

So you can see that using the law of Attraction to create sales is the antithesis of normal sales practice. “There is enough for everybody” is a creative stance, which will attract customers. “Customers are scarce and must be hunted down” is negative stance and will attract the state that you do not want. Scarcity of customers.

My feelings on this is that the underlying theme of Law of Attraction is there enough for everyone. Your inner being only knows prosperity and so competition comes from the position of lack. That is, I have to compete for limited resources.

Acknowledging there is enough for everybody reflects the inner beings position of unlimited prosperity and abundance.

I experienced a similar thing recently when a new guy started at the store I work at (I'm in sales). He used to to come up every-time he'd made and sale and rub it in my face. There was a constant score tallying and chest beating about how good he was and I became very distracted and focussed on him constantly doing better than me.

I found a way of handling this was to affirm that there is enough for everybody and focus on the results I wanted. I would also internally cheer for this other guy when he made a sale. After all there is enough for everybody and his results were good for the store. So instead of focusing on my lack of sales as compared to my colleague I cheered for both of us and this allowed me to focus on the result I wanted.

Hope this helps.

The Law Of Attraction And The Art Of Sales: Part 1 -In The Beginning

I have been following the spiritual route in my life for over 25 years. I started searching for answers on how to live my life after a major difficulties in my life. Thus, at this time I decided I was never going to allow my life to collapse in that way ever again and so a journey through books and ideas began.

The authors that have had the most influence on me are Florence Scovel Shinn in “The Game of Life”; Neale Donald Walsch in the “Conversations with God” series; and of course the “Law of Attraction” series by Abraham Hicks.

The interesting thing with these 3 authors is that they each have a model for creating ones desires in life harnessing the Law of Attraction. Although the first two don’t specifically allude to it, it is easy to see this is at the heart of what they say. For “Florence” it was Perfect Faith. Neale describes the process of “Be, Do, Have. But it was Abraham who bought me clarity in applying the Law of Attraction by revealing that our emotions are the window through which we can determine whether we are creating positively or negatively. Thus the question “what am I feeling?” becomes very important in our quest to harness the Law of Attraction.

For much of my working life I have been involved in sales and I am currently employed at a retail shop selling electrical goods and appliances. I sit opposite the “star” sales performer of the store and it was amazing that no matter whether the store is quiet or busy he always managed to make sales. Sometimes where there were customers for us to serve he always picked the big spending one which brought me to think why this was happening?

I started examining my feelings I held when I was selling, only to discover at times they were full of struggle and pessimism. Comparatively my colleague was nearly always full of optimistic expectation. Thus it dawned on me, that through his positive thoughts the “star” was inadvertently invoking the Law of Attraction and so I decided that I was going to deliberately apply The Law of Attraction to my sales at work.

This blog is a record of this journey and also describes the process I have developed during this.

I hope you find it enjoyable and interesting.
