Weight Loss And The Law Of Attraction

28th July 2008

When using the Law of Attraction to lose weight, its important to understand how you have attracted the weight in the first place, so that you can do the opposite of what you’ve been doing.

It’s common that we associate whatever food we put into our mouths with what our waist bands will look like.

However, I believe that it isn’t the food you eat that causes you to gain weight at all. It’s your beliefs about what you’re eating and your beliefs about your physical body. In other words… its your relationship with your body.

Think about this for a moment…

  • Do you know people who eat lots of food, yet do not put on weight?
  • Do you know people who don’t eat very much food, yet are over weight?

I do!

In fact… I’m one of the one’s who doesn’t eat much food, yet I gain unwanted weight.

As soon as you see this fact in other people as well, your resistance to what food you eat will soften up. If you observe another person eating 3 times as much food as you, and yet they never seem to gain weight, then isn’t it safe to start believing that the extra weight you have isn’t controlled by the food or the amount of food that you eat?

It is not the food that causes your belly to grow. It is the thought you have when you eat the foods. If you think chocolate cake will make you fat, then so it is.

Your body can do two things with the food. It can store it, like a squirrel would store nuts, or it can convert the food into energy and burn it.

As we know, our body responds to our thoughts with great speed. Using placebo’s proved this theory well. Diseases can be eradicated from our bodies simply by using positive thought and taking your attention away from the disease itself.

The quicker you realize that it isn’t the food itself, but its your relationship with the food that is causing you to be over weight - the quicker you can change.

So how do we change?

You give your undivided attention to what it is that you do want.

You can not create something you want by observing or talking about the lack of it.

Thankfully we have our own internal guidance system to tell us when we’re doing something that isn’t in harmony with what we want to create. Your guidance system is constantly communicating to you by your feelings.

When you feel negative emotion of any kind, that’s a signal from your guidance system that you’re moving away from what you want to achieve.

So, if you want to lose weight… use this guidance system when making your decisions. You know that it isn’t the food itself that is causing you to be over weight, but its your relationship with the food. So start allowing your guidance system to make the decisions.

Before you eat that slice of chocolate cake… say to yourself “Guidance system… will eating this slice of cake ultimately bring me more joy or less joy?”.

If your heart sings with excitement and you feel nothing but positive emotions running through you, then the chocolate cake and you are in perfect alignment and you should enjoy it as fully as you can without any worry of any weight gain.

However, if that chocolate cake isn’t in alignment with you, then you will feel a negative feeling. Maybe guilt. You will know if that piece of cake is going to bring you more joy or not!

By following your feelings, you will always be led down the path thats serves you best.

Maybe a salad is more in alignment with you, or a piece of fruit?

The more you practice following your emotions to make your decisions, the more in alignment you will be with your desires.

If you’re anything like me, then the thought of exercising every day isn’t very appealing. If that’s similar to you, then perhaps it will be better for you to have fun on a tennis court with your friends. Or perhaps you enjoy walking? Just remember to use your feelings as a gage before you enter into anything.

The key to all of this is to raise your vibration by feeling good. If you follow your feelings when making the decisions, you’ll automatically raise your vibration because when you follow your feelings, you’re being led down the path that will bring you most joy.

And as you move through your life experiences, you’ll find that there comes a time when you’ve practiced such a good relationship with your body that the chocolate cake is in perfect alignment with yourself! And as you eat it, you will experience the delight of eating such delicious food, instead of feeling guilty about eating it.

Here’s some thoughts I’ve been practicing that make me feel great about my relationship with my body:

My body can burn all of my excess weight effortlessly
I get to choose whether my body stores the food or burns it using my thought
Every time I follow my feelings, I’m losing weight
Every time I feel good, I’m losing weight

Dieting with the Law of Attraction

25th July 2008

Have you tried to use the Law of Attraction to lose weight, but haven’t had much (or any) success?

Here’s the approach most people take…

 

  • You look in the mirror and don’t like what you see
  • You decide that you must get rid of this excess meat
  • You start a diet or join a gym to work out

So, what’s going wrong with this process?

Firstly, most people don’t tend to stick to diets or exercise routines. I’m sure there are many people who have evidence and philosophies as to why this is, but my own personal opinion is because they are doing something that deep down inside of them they do not want to do.

So they have this constant battle in their minds… the dominant thought almost always wins and so they stop their diet or stop exercising.

Another cause of this failure is because they are not aware of the Law of Attraction.

As we know… whatever you give your attention to you will create more of.

When you observe how over weight you are, are you moving towards your goal of losing weight, or away from it?

When you decide you must diet in order to get rid of the weight, are you giving attention to having a body that has lost the weight, or are you giving your attention to a body that HASN’T lost the weight?

When you talk to your friend about the weight you must lose, are you in alignment with losing weight, or are you moving further away?

The only way you can ever attract something you desire is by giving your full attention to what it is that you want.

You cannot attract better health if you continue to give your attention to the fact that you have poor health.

You cannot use the Law of Attraction to lose weight if you continue to give your focus and attention to your current bodily condition.

Feelings of Resentment

23rd July 2008

When I was first starting up my own Internet business, I would often come across posts in Internet marketing forums about how well people were doing.

It is common to see people posting about their “first $100 day” and “first $2,000 month” etc.

At the time I was reading these posts, I could feel a lot of resentment within me. I was feeling uncomfortable because they were achieving something I wanted.

Sometimes I would post up short notes like “Congratulations… keep up the great work!” when inside I actually felt like saying “Who cares!! Big WooptyDoo!”

Even after I had achieved my own first $100 day, when I read posts of other people doing it, I would still feel the same resentment and jealousy.

The truth of the matter is that if you’re feeling resentment, or feeling miserable about someone else’s success that you would like to have yourself, then you’re not a vibrational match to your desire and therefore you’re moving further away from achieving it.

I spend very little time on forums these days, however yesterday when I had some spare time to myself, I was browsing one of the marketing forums and ran into a “first $100 day” post. What I noticed was completely different to my usual offering… instead of feeling resentment for their achievement, I was genuinely happy for them that they are on their way to succeeding in their goals.

I’ve noticed this happening in other areas too and not just money related. I see it as a sign that I’ve shifted and my mentality has changed.

Being genuinely happy for someone cannot be faked. You cannot feel miserable about someone’s achievement, and then offer some positive words like “Congratulations!” and really mean it. Your vibration never lies - your vibration is what tells the truth about how you feel, even if your words don’t.

This change in attitude hasn’t been quick, but it can be done with just a little effort. Here’s some suggestions as to why I think I’ve managed to change from a lack mindset to one of abundance…

Beliefs - A belief is just a chronic thought that you’ve been thinking over and over. Changing your beliefs is as easy as changing your thoughts. Spending time being around successful people has helped me to change my own thoughts on what I think is possible and has helped me shift from a lack mindset into a positive one.

Raised Vibration - As I unveil in my Manifest a Miracle system, I have a daily routine to help me stay in a positive frame of mind which makes me feel good. When I feel good, my vibration is raised and therefore I attract more of the good stuff that I want in life.

Attention To What I Want - Instead of pushing against things that I don’t want, I allow them to be and turn my attention to what I do want to experience in life. This always reaps me positive results and yields me more of what I want. I no longer read newspapers or watch the news on television. These two acts have helped me massively to experience more abundance.

I encourage you to be honest with yourself and observe your feelings within yourself when someone achieves something you want.

How do you feel when a friend of family member…

  • Gets a better job or promotion?
  • Makes more money than you?
  • Loses 10 pounds of weight?
  • Achieves a long-term goal?

You can practice being honest with yourself right now by observing how you feel when you read about someone else’s success. A good friend of mine, Aaron Potts from Today is that Day, made a post about one of his successes with moving next to the beach to start up his own health business.

His story is wonderful and he also shares a lot of great information about how he achieved it. You can read his story by clicking here.

Head over there and observe your reaction when you read about his success. Are you genuinely happy for him, or is there something in the back of your mind feeling resentment? Know that if resentment does come up, then you’re moving further away from achieving your goals.

I can honestly say that I am truly happy for Aaron and wish him all of the very best with his new adventure in Florida!

Vibration Creates Form

16th July 2008

A while ago, I posted a video showing how sound waves affect sand particles when scattered on a sound plate. The results are quite amazing to observe.

At the time of posting that video, I couldn’t quite remember where I had seen a similar practice demonstrated in a presentation before. This morning though, I came across it and remembered where I had seen it before…

In a presentation by David Icke, he showed the same results but also added some interesting commentary. Here’s a short clip from one of his presentations that demonstrates how sound vibration creates form.

Some clever chap from YouTube has also posted up the entire public domain presentation by David Icke. It’s called Freedom Road and is 5 hours long. If you’re interested in seeing the entire presentation, I’ve saved you the trouble of having to look up the links and posted them below.

Abundance Is Natural

14th July 2008

Do you believe that there is a source of evil?

Do you believe that there really is a devil?

Do you believe that abundance must be obtained?

From all of my work in self-development and spirituality, I’ve come to understand that abundance abounds. Meaning that abundance is our natural state of being.

I truly believe that a child who is innocent of beliefs and innocent of thought, has more power to attract what they want than a 60 year old who practices feeling negatively.

There is no source of evil.
There is no source of darkness.

However, there can be absence of light, which makes a room dark, but there is no source of darkness. There is no dark switch to turn on when you enter a room.

It’s the same with source energy. Source energy is natural for us to flow. When we release our negative thinking patterns and let go of the baggage that holds us back, we naturally ascend to source energy and allow more of it to flow through us.

The best way of describing this is to think of yourself as a piece of cork that is floating on some water. When you practice thinking negative thoughts and feel bad feeling emotions, you’re deliberately holding yourself down under the water.

Your cork is being held under the water, where it naturally wants to float back up to the surface, however there is something preventing it from naturally floating upwards … the thing that is preventing you from rising to the top again is simply your beliefs and thoughts that do not serve you.

But here’s the thing… you don’t HAVE to rid yourself of all of these negative beliefs. You don’t HAVE to get rid of the negative thoughts. You simply have to take your attention away from them and allow them to be.

When you do this and put your attention on to thoughts and emotions that do feel good to you, then your cork will float naturally to the top again.

And so, what is all of this source energy about? Why would we want to return to it? Source energy is the energy that creates. When you flow the energy without resisting it, you will have magnificent creation power. You will be able to observe the dropping of thoughts and the manifestation of those thoughts as they materialize.

My Costa Rica Manifestation

11th July 2008

Some of you may recall that I mentioned I’m going to be living out in Costa Rica for 3 months starting at the end of August. I thought I’d share with you all how this manifestation has came to be, and what the key points were in creating it.

First of all, I’m moving out there because I fell in love with the country last year when I visited for a week. Just one very short week of living in paradise has made me want to experience it more permanently.

For the past 24 years, I’ve lived in a busy town in the south of England. Whilst being around the night-life, congestion and hectic lifestyles has been fun, I feel an impulse to live somewhere a little more relaxed and a little less hectic, which is why Costa Rica is the perfect choice for me.

I first came up with the idea at the beginning of the year when I realized that there was nothing keeping me here. I’ve been working online for several years now and it only dawned upon me this year that I am fully established and will never have a need for a corporate job ever again. The freedom that the Internet provides is that you can do what you currently do from anywhere with an Internet connection.

I’ve experienced a lot of unwanted contrast over the past couple of years related to where I live. For example… the continuous stream of traffic I hear every day is something unwanted. Whilst I can make peace with whatever life throws at me, it is no longer my desire to live a busy city lifestyle with non-stop action.

From living the contrast, my desire was born.

Before I could make this move, there were a few obstacles standing in my way. Here’s what I saw them as…

  • I only know a couple of people in Costa Rica
  • Require money for plane ticket
  • Require money to “settle in” and adjust
  • Require an apartment to rent
  • Require a driver to help with language barrier, local knowledge and travel

Some of these aren’t too troublesome, whereas others are a little more tricky.

From my own previous experience, finding the right people to help me was going to be absolutely crucial. Thankfully, we have our own internal guidance systems (our emotions!) letting us know whether something is going to bring us more joy or not.

As I began contacting those people I know from Costa Rica, I could immediately feel that if I relied upon them to help me, it wouldn’t bring me as much joy as if I were to do it myself. I often get a “feel good” from doing things on my own… it’s like “I created that!” and so I can give myself a pat on the back.

Instead of relying upon my friend’s connections, I went looking for my own. After about 30 minutes of Google searching, I had found some email addresses of drivers who seemed suitable to help me make this move and help me find an apartment.

The first person who got back to me ‘felt’ absolutely awesome! As I received his email reply, I was in the middle of making some notes on a project I’m working on, and I specifically made a point of writing down “This guy FEELS good!” to ensure that I remembered how my initial gut feeling felt.

That first initial contact is very important when making your decision. It’s not the words he used, or what he said in his email. It was purely the feeling that I received after reading his email that I used to guage whether he was the right person or not.

After reading a few more replies from other drivers, I knew that the first guy was “the one”.

So… that’s my driver sorted! In my eye’s that was the hardest part out of the way.

For a while now, I’ve been forming beliefs that the plane ticket money and other money needed would come quite effortlessly. And I was right! I created it that way.

I found that friends who owed me money for past work that I had forgotten about, showed up and paid it back in full. Additional business was landing on my lap and my sales seemed to increase naturally by themselves.

Within about 8 weeks, I had fully saved for my plane ticket and had some extras too.

Whilst I was saving for my plane ticket, I went out and did some ticket price lookups to find the best deal. I noticed that the best deal actually came from the airlines themselves, and the best price I found on the web was £504. That’s an incredible price to get to Costa Rica from England, believe me! Last time I traveled there it was £640.

Everything was looking good… cheap tickets were available, and money was flowing in nicely.

Once I had finally saved up enough for my plane ticket, I went back to the same place to buy the £504 ticket. To my dismay, the prices had shot up to £600! So I tried all of the other airlines again to find the best price. Unfortunately, this was the best price, and by the time I had done all of that searching, I came back to the original airline with the cheapest ticket and now within 24 hours the price had gone up again! The cheapest ticket was now £614.

At this point, I was getting a little worried and being quite indecisive about what I should do.

As someone who practices the Law of Attraction and feeling good, this wasn’t an experience I wanted to go through. I quickly got my thoughts together again and decided that I was going to find a £500 ticket no matter what.

I know first hand that I could attract a cheap ticket, and simply used this situation as an excuse to do it.

The very next day as I was browsing the airlines and price checkers, I ran into one of the price checker sites that I had previously been to, but noticed that if I changed my dates slightly, they offered different 2 stop deals.

It wasn’t highlighted at all, in fact you had to click on a + symbol to get the additional offers to display. It was like the company was hiding them from you and didn’t really want you to see them.

Anyway, I found a ticket price from this site which worked out to be almost exactly £500. It’s a ticket that uses two airlines which is why the price is so competitive. It just goes to show that when you really put your mind to something, and are determined to achieve it, you will. The universe will align it up for you.

So, now I’m in a position where I’ve got my plane ticket all sorted. I’ve got a friendly driver who “feels good” and is going to help me find an apartment when I arrive and I also have some extra money to help me with the transition process.

It’s exactly what I wanted!

All of the above events haven’t surprised me one little bit. I expected most of them to happen. The more you practice becoming a deliberate creator, the more delicious experiences you’ll come to expect too.

I’m traveling towards the end of August and am super excited about this new chapter in my life.

Should We Want Material Objects?

9th July 2008

Personally, I’ve heard it said in the self-development world that money is the root of all evil… that we shouldn’t want for material objects.

I, myself, have said on countless occasions that money will not bring you fulfillment or sustained happiness. Neither will the lack of money, which means there is something else that provides that fulfillment.

But its not the fulfillment that I wanted to discuss today, its whether or not wanting material objects is a good thing or not such a good thing.

My own views on this topic are that we do live in a material world. There are certain material objects that we have to have in order to survive. Things like clothing and a home to stay in are all essential to our survival.

Because we live in this material world, having some of the material objects, including money, is perfectly okay. We get to define how we want to live. We get to define what experiences we want to have. We get to define it all, and so if I choose to have more money, and another chooses against it, that is perfectly fine too.

I don’t feel there is a way that you must be in order to live a successful and fulfilled life. The fulfillment can never come from a material object anyway, but only from within. The diverse setting that we live in where we each want something different, provides the perfect setting to create our own segment of reality that is heaven on earth to us.

Life is material.
Your home is material.
Our clothes are material.
Your body is material.

If we did not want to experience having and playing with the materialistic objects in this world, then why would we choose to live in a physical body? There would be no point to us coming here and so if we truly did not want material objects then surely we would choose to stay in the non-physical environment.

It’s important to remember that anyone can choose anything they please. There is no right or wrong with anything, including the wanting of material objects.

I say… go out there and experience it!

Go get some dollars… go and travel the world… experience other cultures… enjoy your life. Feel good and be happy. Your happiness should be regarded as the most important thing.

What You Feel Is Always Of Primary Importance

7th July 2008

How do you feel right now?

If you feel good then you’re on the right path.
If you don’t feel anything, or you don’t feel good, then you’ve got work to do.

No matter whether you are wanting to…

  • Write a book
  • Create a business
  • Improve your health
  • Look for love
  • Find a new job
  • Buy a computer
  • Shop for a new home
  • See some friends

The priority should always be to feel good. If you feel good and enter into any of those things that you want, providing you maintain feeling good, you will naturally have a better experience.

“When you feel good, good things are attracted to you.”
“When you feel good, good things are attracted to you.”
“When you feel good, good things are attracted to you.”

One Year Anniversary

3rd July 2008

On the 3rd of July 2007, I made the decision to setup this blog with the intention that I would share my own experiences with the Law of Attraction. I made a commitment to myself that I would post regularly… I’d seen way too many blogs die after just a few posts and I didn’t want that to happen to me.

One year later and I’m still here! Still blogging away!

I want to send a sincere thank you to all of you who read this blog. Without your continuous input and feedback, I’m certain that I wouldn’t still be here now.

It’s your continuous input and comments that give me the fuel to keep writing. Knowing that some of you enjoy what I write or find it of benefit gives me incredible joy and is the main reason that I continue to post regularly.

Over the last year we’ve had quite a bit of interaction with each other…

  • 167 blog posts
  • 464 comments
  • 3,904 spam comments
  • Over 118,555 unique visits
  • Over 283,822 page views

I for one have enjoyed every minute of it!

To celebrate this anniversary, I had a long look through the archives and have listed all of my favorite blog posts from the past year. They are all listed below.

Again, thank you so much for being a part of this blog!

There is much love here for you :-)
