Practical Attraction - A Personal Journey #6

I was replying to someone’s blog who was asking how to create the desired result from a court case they were contesting and this was what I wrote.

“You need to release the resistance your are feeling about the outcome of the case and the people with whom you are contesting the case. See the court case only in terms of them outcome you desire even if this outcome seems impossible or illogical. Then step back and allow source to create. Hold to positive feelings and if doubt or fear creeps, in look for a better thought or move your thoughts to a place of feeling good.”

“Hold to good feelings and your desire will come to you.”

When I looked at in terms of my own attempts to deliberately create it felt like a bit of an epiphany. So I re-wrote in more general terms that could be applied to most situations.


1/ Determine your desire. Find clarity.

This is what I want.

Write it down. Make a list. Be definite in what you want.


2/ Release any resistance you are feeling about the possible outcomes in relation to your desire.

Fears that you hold are the largest stumbling block to creating your desires. You can use any number of methods to release the fear including deep breathing, meditation and focusing on this very moment of now.

Also recently I came across the Sedona method which I have very effective at releasing fear and negative feelings.

The Sedona Method, in basic.

1) Start by just becoming ultimately aware of the moment.
2) Become aware of the thought you are having.
3) Notice where you feel it in your body, if you cant feel it, dont worry.
4) Begin asking yourself if you could allow yourself to let it go. "Could I let this thought/feeling/____ go?" Then answer yourself.
5) Next, ask yourself "If I could, would I let this thought/feeling/____ go?" Then answer.
6) Next, ask yourself "When?" and then answer yourself.


3/ See your desire in only terms of a positive outcome, even if this outcome seems impossible or illogical.

These thoughts should be free of the constraints of practicalities. Let your imagination go. Enjoy the freedom and feel how good these things will be.
The feelings you receive should feel light and give you energy.

4/ Then step back and allow source to create and intend to receive.

I think for many people this is the hardest of all things to do because we are brought up to take action to achieve our desires. Here we are delegating the creation of our desires to source. Hold to positive feelings and if doubt or fear creeps in look for a better thought or move your thoughts to a place of feeling good.

Our feelings are our compass. They show whether are thoughts and therefore vibrations we are sending out are in alignment with the creation of our desires.
But fearful thoughts about the future are for most of us, a very difficult habit to change. So we need to be conscious of our feelings and release any negative feelings as shown in step 2 then seek a better thought.

Be open to receiving your desire. Be ready. Calmly accept and be thankful

Expect the best!

Hold to good feelings and your desire will come to u.



Wishing you joyful creation!

The Plates and the Beach House.

The Plates and the Beach House.

I was at my sisters for Sunday lunch yesterday with a lot of other people to farewell my niece as she is about to take up a position as an entertainer on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean, which is fantastic news as it has been a difficult path for her to find work as a singer/dancer.

We were sitting down to a lovely lunch when my sister came past checking to see we were all enjoying our lunch.

“Do you like my beach house plates?” She asked motioning to wards the lovely new china we were eating off.

“Beach house …plates.” I replied somewhat confused, as I was certain that my sister didn’t own one.

“Yes.” She replied. “These are for the beach we are going to get.”

“West coast or down on the Peninsula.”

“Oh, definitely the Peninsula!” She confirm

My sister was deliberately creating even when she didn’t know it!

She has asked and is very definite about her desire to the point that she has already selected and purchased the crockery for the house. Last week I spoke of expectation and the effect it has on how quickly we manifest and you couldn’t get a higher level of expectation than already having purchased the crockery for your soon to appear beach house. Such a purchase in expectation of receiving your desire creates a vibration, which is in alignments with your desire.

I am very sure that my sister will very soon have her beach house!

This is a very sound strategy. In her book “The Game of Life” Florence Scovel Shinn talks of “digging ditches” which is preparing the foundations of the manifestation of your desires, which is exactly the action my sister has taken in the purchase of the plates. It shows “active faith” that you are going to receive your desires. By examining your actions you can identify whether you are preparing for success or failure. Do your actions demonstrate faith or fear?

Happy digging!

Practical Attraction - A Personal Journey #5

It seems at the moment that I am receiving regular flashes of ideas that are very appropriate to my situation. This week it was:

“It’s your level of expectation that determines how effectively you create when you deliberately creating using the LOA.”

Previously I have written about an idea I called the “Expectancy Scale”.
It consists of a range of feelings that you might have about the likely hood of receiving you desires. The range was:

DEPRESSION; PESSIMISTIC; MELANCHOLY; AMBIVALENT; HOPEFUL; EXPECTANT; BELIEF.


The idea is that the further down the scale towards the Depression you are the less likely that you are going to receive your desires. So by identifying here on the scale you are in relation to the feelings you are having a bout what you are deliberately creating you then choose better thoughts about your desire until your feelings are belief in receiving.

I have found that I need to search around for feelings of doubt and fear. The thoughts you hold about you desires must generate feelings of joy and certainty. There is no room for ifs or buts or the calamities that may occur if you deliberate creation does not eventuate.

I have found this an un unusual place for someone has lived on fear and trepidation for 50 years. If you live your life as though the sky is going to fall at any particular moment, then life is going to be a very bumpy ride!
And I can tell you mine has been a very bumpy ride.

But now I am smoothing out the road by choosing better thoughts and am truly amazed at how much better life can be.


Expect the Best!

Practical Attraction - A Personal Journey #4

I sometimes find that in creating with LOA I can get all tangled in knots. Monitoring feelings. Choosing a better thought. Getting burdened with the persistent thoughts and feelings of fear and negativity that won’t go away.
Worrying about the vibrations that I emmitting and how they might impede the arrival of what I am creating. Ensuring that I am in a position of allowing.

Then the other day the simplest of thoughts about how to handle of this came to me.

EXPECT THE BEST!

And really the law of attraction can be as simple as this. If the best things that we could expect came into our lives then we would be creating the best life we could have!

Expectation is a key to deliberate creation. How expectant we are will determine our quickly we will receive.

So it makes sense that if we expect the best in everything we are giving our attention too then we cannot help to create our best possible life.


Have great expectations!

Practical Attraction - A Personal Journey #3

Every now and again I receive a thought that feels like an epiphany. Here’s one I had recently, but I am really peeved that I lost the little note book that I had purchased recently to record such things. Even then what I had written, I don’t think the words exactly portray the feeling of the thought.

Here it is:

"Allowing is accepting thoughts, feelings and actions into your life, that your rational thought tells you are impossible, ridiculous, fanciful, unlikely and irrational. It’s is freeing yourself of the constraints of your rational thought and enjoying the freedom of your creative thought."

I think the key issue is being free of any fear or resistance from these, what you might call radical thoughts. Resistance and fear develops when we fall back to our old constraining thoughts, as we again measure or compare our lives to the frameworks and paradigms that have been learned in the “rational” world that we grew up in.

Allowing is letting the vibrations generated by our thoughts to sit in the moment. No wanting, no fear, no resistance. Just enjoy the vibration of your desire kind of floating in the ether. Now your job is receiving, the penultimate act of allowing. Check that you are feeling good and stay out of the way of the non-physical bringing your desires. When you have received be truly thankful.

Allow yourself a great life.

The Law Of Attraction Sales Warrior - At the Coal Face 8

Continuing on from last week, I am currently allowing the manifestation of money that I require in my life. I am concentrating on staying in that place that is expecting this to enter my life. I am also focusing on feeling on good as this will show I am in alignment with my higher self. But in looking for a better thought each time fear or uneasiness approaches I found myself in unusual place. A place where I questioned, why I was not feeling fear and ill at ease place as this has been the norm in the past

It seemed most unusual and showed that in difficult situations I expected to feel overwhelming anxiety and nervousness. Instead here I was moving my feelings to a better place by choosing a better thought. It showed to me how habitual this decent into anxiousness had become.

I suppose if you analyse this it shows what I have been habitually creating in my life. There have been a number of occasions in my life where I have virtually run up the white flag of surrender because I have not been able to cope with the overwhelming fear that I have felt. It shows I have created as I have felt. A great deal of negativity

I believe this change signals a move to more positive manifestation in my life!

Manifest a great life!

Today I want to continue talking about allowing. Rather than continue with my sales based examples, I would like to talk to you about my struggle with manifesting money. For sometime money has seemed scarce to me. Rarely has there seemed to be enough to do the things I want to do in life, as I have lurched from one bill to another.

Now I find my self once again with significantly less money than I need and have been struggling for sometime to manifest what I need. I have found this process has thrown up all sorts of negative feelings about money. From, “I never have money!” To, “I never earn enough money.” And continues with, “Bills always come at the wrong time!” You get the idea.

The dead line for this money is near and I have been trying to conquer thoughts of all the scenarios and consequences that come to pass should I not receive the money. Florence Scovel Shinn in “The Game of Life” talks of

“ perfect faith” which dictates that once you have asked for your desires, th all your thoughts should be on receiving the manifestation, not planning an alternative action should the manifestation not be received. She has lots of great little stories to explain and illustrate this. And it has some logic to it that if you asking source to bring a particular thing, then thoughts of any sort of alternative, demonstrates you do truly expect the desired result and yet it is this expectation which is key. Also I believe there is flow involved in manifestation and so any “earthly interference” disrupts this flow.

And so today I have gotten my feelings into a place of expectation. I have used the statement I wrote of last week. “What if all this is resolved and this problem of not having money just melts away?”

Now I feel calm and relaxed and received the thought, “There is nothing more important than feeling good” and this situation demonstrates to clearly the importance of this statement. I have found in my sales process that this attainment of calm is important and has always brought success to me and this all feels right in this moment of time.

The experience I wanted to talk about today was a situation I had with a customer. He had ordered a group of appliances for his kitchen and all were ready for collection except for his cook top, which wouldn’t be available for 2 weeks and his kitchen was being installed as we speak.

On Monday afternoon I attempted to talk a manager about what we maybe able to do to solve the problem. Just as she became available, a client returned and used up all my remaining time for the day. Tuesday was my day off, but I resolved to come in next morning to fix the problem before it got out of hand.

So there I was driving to work on my day off, running later than I had planned, due to a minor disaster at home, and whining in my thoughts about having to do so and imagining the struggle I was about endure to get this customer his cook top. Feeling all this negativity building up with me, I decided this was not the way to go and remembered similar occasions where instead I had thought, “What if the problem was solved? What if it just melted away and I could get on with enjoying my day off?”

Good feelings rose within me and I felt much better as I held onto this thought. Soon I arrived at work, collected the information about the customer, including a brochure on the cook top than I needed to source. I went up to the manager and she saw the brochure.

“Do you need one of those?”

I then started to pour out my tale of woe when she interrupted me and said.

“ He was in this morning and I managed to get the warehouse to allocate him one as some of the other customers who have bought them, don’t need them for a few weeks.”

Problem solved! It just melted away! Amazing!

If I am guilty of anything it is to too often to forgetting to release my negative thoughts and move to a better one and allow the universe to act. The outcomes can be amazing and life is so much better!

I think that problems have a kind of density to them that makes it easy for us to hold on to. We rationalize them. We examine them we whine about them and generally magnify their vibrational strength.

So, next time you find yourself going over and over something problematic.

Stop!!!!!

Think. “What if…………..”

Feel the relief and release it to universe. Don’t force any more thoughts about your desires. Trust the universe the universe to handle it. Now check how you are feeling.

Good? Move on with your day.

Negative? Look for another thought until you feel relief.

I think this releasing to the universe, that is allowing, is the thing we all have the most difficulty with as we are taught to tackle problems. Wrestle with them and persist.

For many this process of release would seem far too passive. Maybe even a cop out. But if you can find the feeling of trust in the universe your desires will be answered.

Allow yourself a wonderful life!

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.
