All it takes
is faith and trust
I have always loved this concept. In the beginning, I didn't really buy it. It took a few years for it to really sink in, but I do believe there is truth in it. The trouble, however, is that so many of us find it difficult to break out of our normal, run-of-the-mill way of thinking. It isn't always easy seeing that glass half-full.
The Universal Law of Allowing,
by Eva Gregory
Do you think that if someone with beliefs opposed to yours gets their way, you can't have your way? Or do you believe there's room for it all? Of the three Universal Laws of Attraction, the Law of Allowing may be the most difficult one to get our hearts and minds around.
The truth is, there is freedom in allowing circumstances to be what they are and people to be who they are, whether you agree with them or not. Really. Even when it comes to poverty or war or disease.
So, how in the world do you accept situations and people that stand for something you don't? Or that want the opposite of what you want? We tend to think we can't have it both ways. So what do we do? We push back! There is a 'war on crime', a 'war on poverty', a 'war on cancer'. We have a campaign to 'Just Say No!' to drugs.
And yet, understanding the Law of Attraction -- that whatever you are focused on you attract more of -- when you are focused on what you do not want in an effort to defeat it or resist it, you are not allowing what you do want to flow to you.
When you say yes to something, you attract more of that into your life, because that is what you are focused on. When you say no to something, you attract more of that into your life, because that is what you are focused on. So in order to allow what you want to flow to you, you must allow others to focus on what they want - even if you don't agree with it.
In other words, be more consciously selective about where you choose to focus your attention. Rather than going into resistance about something you don't want or don't agree with, flip your thoughts around to what you DO want and make 'Just Say Yes!' your slogan.
Allow what you want to come to you by yes'ing your way through life. 'Just Say Yes' to abundance. 'Just Say Yes' to great relationships. 'Just Say Yes' to a healthy body. 'Just Say Yes' to work that you love. Get the picture? Your job is to simply identify what you want, get into the feeling place of having it and then allow it to flow to you by holding your focus there.
When you understand these principles and put them to use consciously and deliberately, you put yourself in a place of non-resistance. How do you know if you're allowing? By noticing how you feel. Your emotions are always your guide. Whenever you are in a place of feeling good, you are in a place of allowing. Nothing is more important than that you feel good!
~ 99.99% of your creation is complete before you see ANY physical evidence of it.
~ When you desire with belief, it's happening. When you desire with hope, it's happening slower.
When you desire with doubt, it's so slow, you might as well think about something else.
~ When you want something and you don't believe it, it's as good as not coming!
When you want something and hope, it's coming -- but you gotta be patient.
When you want something and you know it's coming, patience isn't a factor because
it's coming quickly enough that evidence is showing up all over the place. So your
optimism is easy to feel when you see evidence.
Dr. Wayne Dyer
1. You cannot wish something for yourself that you are not simultaneously wishing for others, because everyone in your life is an extension of yourself. We are all mirrors for you, just as you are a mirror for us.
2. Always think in present terms. TODAY is your future.
3. Focus on what you want, because everything you focus on e-x-p-a-n-d-s. If you focus on what you don't want, you'll get even more.
4. Let your heart rule. Do what makes you happy. When you use logic and try to do what you think is expected of you----in essence, think with your head---you create frustration and confusion for yourself. You'll know you are letting your intuition/heart rule when everything seems to flow effortlessly in your life.
5. Resistance attracts like will. Denial blocks.
6. Imagine yourself where you want to be as if you are already there.
7. Allowing means getting rid of all the reasons you shouldn't or couldn't or wouldn't. Stop 'shoulding' on yourself and just be.
8. Let go of the ego where the judgments come from. We are all deserving just because we exist. We don't have to earn anything. It already belongs to us.
9. Once you allow and let your heart rule and let go of shoulds and just be, you'll find that you are filled with gratitude and peace all the time. It comes with the territory.
10. To condemn a problem is to be blinded to the BENEFIT of it's existence. Own up to the fact that the problem arrived in response to your desire for something. It is putting you in touch with feelings you need to change in order to have that desired something. Let awareness guide you to the resolution. Embrace the challenge and understand that this problem is a means to an end.
11. Do your priorities line up with your values? For example, if you value family above all else, is your priority to spend more quality time with them? Realign your values and priorities (how you actual spend your time) periodically to keep that flow going in your life.
12. Give yourself some quiet alone time every day, even if it's only ten minutes. Empty your mind. Stop analysis. Stop synthesis. Just breathe and be at one with yourself. No input. No output. Just feel your oneneness with the Universe. It's totally liberating!
"Nothing is predestined.
The obstacles of your past can be the gateways that lead to new beginnings."

Steps to Deliberate Attraction
The steps in this process help you get really clear about what you want and then give you some help with dealing with doubt and combating that Inner Critic.
* State what you want.
* Create a Vision of your wish.
* Allow it to manifest.
State What Your Want:
Identify what you want to attract. Just do this generally. State a topic, such as discovering the ideal life partner, creating abundant lifetime finances, having great health, writing a book, finding the perfect house, etc. I firmly believe the law of attraction works best when what you want is somehow in service to others.
Create a Clear Vision of Your Wish:
State what you want clearly and exactly. In some cases, you can list all the things you want (handsome, rich, kind, fun, interested in travel, etc.) At other times you will know more about what you don’t want (long hours, horrendous commute, unreasonable boss, cranky associates, low pay, stressful deadlines). If you start with what you don’t want, you can use the negative to get great clarity about what you do want. For example, "I don’t want a long commute" can become, "I want to work within a 10 minute drive of my home." End up with the positive characteristics of what you do want—be sure that everything is stated as a positive. Then imagine you actually have this wish. Create a scene from a play in which what you want has actually happened. Make it as detailed as possible.
Allow it to Happen:
When you get a twinge of doubt or your Inner Critic is shouting in your ear, take action to change your attitude. This can be a mental or physical activity that crowds out your doubts. Go for a hike, ride your bike, play chess, do a puzzle. Always consider doing something you totally enjoy. Do whatever it takes to distract you from the doubting voice. You can even tell that voice to be quiet.
An excellent way to counteract your doubt is to be in appreciation. You might do it by just noticing all the beauty around you or you could start an appreciation journal. As I organize myself every morning, I write down what I appreciate from the previous day. That way I get to love it once and then love it again when I remember it.
Why You May Be Attracting
What You Don’t Want
Michael J. Losier, author of "Law of Attraction" has this quick 4-point checklist on why people may be attracting things they don’t want.
1. Using Don’t, Not and No
2. Observing What You DON’T want
3. Limited Beliefs
4. Talking about what you don’t want
Visualization Process
The first step in doing a positive visualization is determining what you want to create in your life. If you do not know specifically what it is you want
to manifest in your life, you can create with “broad brushstrokes.”
Broad brushstrokes define the general events in your life while omitting the specific details. For instance, you may not know the particular person you would like to have as a life partner, so you visualize yourself in a relationship that is harmonious, joyful, and romantic. You imagine yourself and your future partner sharing a fun and fulfilling life. You generate the feelings of love and joy as you create these images in your mind. Once you have created the broad brushstrokes, you patiently wait as the God force fills in the details of the picture you have created.
If you are certain of the specific details you want to manifest, you can clearly imagine these events in your minds eye. There is nothing wrong with creating something specific; however, manifestation often comes more quickly if you leave the details of your creation to your Higher Self.
If you need a new car, you can trust that God will bring you the very best car possible. Visualize yourself driving a beautiful car without seeing a particular model or color; then wait for God to surprise you with something better than you could have imagined.
Spiritual Marketing
Sometimes people feel greedy when they start to ask for what they want. They feel
they are taking from others. The best way around that limiting belief is to be sure
you also want others to have success, too. In other words, if you want a new house but
don’t want your neighbor to have one, you’re stuck in ego and that’s greed. But if you
want a new house and think everyone ought to have one, then you are in tune with the
creative spirit and you’ll pull or be led to that new house. You see, there really isn’t any
shortage in the world. The universe is bigger than our egos and can supply more than
we can demand. Our job is to simply honestly ask for what we want. - Joe Vitale
