“Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.” – Soren Kierkegaard

The Law of Attraction acts on where you’re putting your attention. Your dominant thoughts are whatever you’re filling your mind with. Are you focusing on what you want or on what you’re afraid will happen? Because the Law of Attraction will fill the mold of the thoughts that occupy your mind. It takes as its direction from them. And if you think you’re focusing on what you want, but are angry or judgmental of others, then your dominant thought is what you disapprove of. So you’ll draw more of that to you. Stay focused on your life and what you want, and you will attract that to you.

Are you limiting your acceptance of good? If so, you’re restricting the flow of God/Universe in your life. You are a part of the Universe, as an individualized expression of It. And the Universe wants more good for Itself, since that’s the way it expresses Itself. Whatever good you desire is also a part of the Universe. So desiring more good, whether it’s prosperity, health, or peace in your life, means that you’re wanting to experience more of God/the Universe. Open your mind and heart to allowing more of the Universe, or good, coming into your life.

“I become aware of the thoughts that I think that might not be in harmony with the Universe. I train myself to transform them into the kind of idea deposits that I consciously choose. I know that my thoughts manifest their equivalent in my life.”

Your thoughts become beliefs, you act on your beliefs and they get expressed in your life. To change them, becoming aware of the negative thoughts that cross your mind is your first step. It’s not always easy, because most people life on autopilot. Once you’re aware of your thoughts, you can make a conscious choice of what you want to think and believe. Whenever you have that negative thought, you then insert the one you’ve chosen. It takes persistence and dedication, but it can be done.

Book Review-Recreating Your Self

Recreating Your Self: Building Self-Esteem Through Imaging and Self-Hypnosis
by Nancy J. Napier

Most of my clients struggle with self-esteem issues. They have feelings of shame, worthlessness, and due to old programming, don’t take the steps necessary to support their own health and well-being. This book is a great resource to anyone who has experienced these challenges.

The author addresses the subjects of healing the inner child, reviewing past abuses in the light of our current understanding, connecting with our healed, future self and much more. Especially helpful to me was the chapter on the protective parts. These parts were created to help us in a time of stress. Based on the old information, they continue to control us, and many times this actually hurts our desire to heal. However, we can update their protection and turn them into resources that support us in the present day.

Instructions, exercises and scripts for self-hypnosis accompany each of her chapters to do the inner work and heal. This book is a wonderful addition to anyone who has read John Bradshaw’s books on healing the inner child, or who has had a dysfunctional childhood and wishes to resolve the old wounds to become a happier person.

You move in the direction of where you put your attention. And the Law of Attraction uses your focus to create your good. “Energy flows where attention goes.” Have you been putting your attention on what you want or the direction you want your life to go? Or have you been focusing on what you fear or what’s behind you? To determine where you’ve been focusing, all you need to do is look at your life. Life leaves clues about this. It gives you valuable feedback that you can use to shift your attention to create what it is you want.

How does what I imagine manifest?

January 18, 2017 Linda-Ann Stewart

Question: When I imagine something in the alpha level, how does it happen in reality?

Answer: The alpha level is the state we access in meditation, self-hypnosis, daydreaming or as we’re drifting off to sleep. We’re more inwardly focused on some idea in this state. When you imagine something in the alpha level, you’re giving the subconscious mind specific directions of what you want. The subconscious must accept what you’re impressing, which it always does. EXCEPT, if you negate it with opposite statements during the day, confuse it with a different desire, or not trust it to do what you have stated.

Then, since we’re all connected, once the subconscious has accepted the idea, it then seeks out opportunities to bring it about. Have you ever had the impulse to go to a certain store, only to bump into someone you really needed to talk to?

When you place a desire in mind, trusting the subconscious to manifest it, it can take anywhere from a few minutes to several months for it to come about. When it’s delayed, it’s usually because you have a belief that’s restricting it, or aren’t trusting the subconscious enough. It won’t do anything if you don’t trust it. Start with some small desires to build your faith.
