There are three paths to achieve the life you want: Attract it, Create it, or Transform the life you have. Notice that combining the first letter of those paths spells ACT – no matter which path (or combination of paths) you choose, some kind of ACTion is necessary. Here are a few thoughts on each path:
ATTRACTION
So much has been said and written over the past few years about the Law of Attraction that it can now sometimes seem trite. But in the process of having the life you deeply desire, the LoA is valuable to understand and to apply.
In essence, what the LoA states is that we attract to us what we are in vibrational resonance with. In our universe, matching electrical frequencies seek each other. It is a dangerous oversimplification to say, “like attracts like,” because that isn’t true. Magnetic frequencies have a vibrational dissonance and so “like repels like,” and attracts its polar opposite. Because our thoughts are electrical impulses and not magnetic impulses, our thoughts have to resonate at the frequency of what we want to attract.
There’s a fly in that ointment, however. 95% of our thoughts are unconscious. While our conscious mind (the 5%) is saying “I want X,” our unconscious mind (the 95%) may be saying “I want Y,” and we get frustrated with all the Y that comes flowing our way. We frequently resonate unconsciously with the wrong stuff. Darn!
The good news is that we don’t have to get the whole 95% on board in order to attract what we want. In fact we can’t – our brains aren’t wired for 100% consciousness. We’d blow all the circuits! It actually only takes a percent or two difference to change the frequency of our vibration and get in alignment with our desire. Whew!
How to Change Your Vibrational Resonance:
There are a number of ways to change your frequency, but here are four that I chose because they are simple (though not always easy) and powerful:
1. Use Your Passion: Feel joy and excitement of the process of attracting your dream. That means resonate with the inspired action you are taking to manifest what you want. Embrace each step with the anticipation of a child opening a gift at Christmas!
2. Use Your Imagination: This method is about feeling the visceral experience of your intention rather than an emotional experience. See yourself living the desired result actively, the way a runner runs the course in his or her mind before the race begins. Bring all your senses and physical reactions into play.
3. Use Your Emotions: Feel the outcome as already accomplished. This method is similar to the passion method, but is focused on the desired result rather than the process of getting there. How would the achievement of a new job feel? Feel that now in the present moment. Accept the feeling as real and embody it as you would with the imagination method.
4. Release Your Beliefs: Of the many release techniques – such as Theta Healing, EFT, Sedona Method, Toltec Recapitulation, PSTech, to name a few – one of the most powerful and familiar is meditation. When you meditate on love, joy, peace, and so on, you are raising your vibrational frequency and becoming more receptive to positive results.
Any of these methods can work to attract what you desire. Using all four methods together can synergize and empower each other toward more effective manifestation.
