Ever since people have begun to realize that their emotions and feelings play a role in their life, they have been trying to be positive.  And a lot of people have run into a big stumbling block!  I’ll admit, it can be difficult to maintain a positive attitude.

Wikipedia defines the law of attraction as follows:
“Thoughts have an energy that attracts like energy.[2] In order to control this energy, proponents state that people must practice four things: [8]

1. Know what you want.
2. Ask the universe for it.
3. Feel and behave as if the object of your desire is on its way.
4. Be open to receiving it.

Thinking of what one does not have, they say, manifests itself in not having, while if one abides by these principles, and avoids “negative” thoughts, the Universe will manifest a person’s desires. ”

In my opinion, the most important, and most difficult step is #3 - that we will receive in our life that which we FEEL.  So, when you stare down a giant pile of bills every month, you get more financial worries!   The real trick is in being able to transmute those emotions into positive, well being emotions that generate prosperity and peace of mind!

In a nutshell, changing that knot in your stomach is a lot like using a doorknob.  If you open a door and walk through every time you feel the knob (knot), you will let the view on the other side of the door take over and you’ll let go of the knob (knot).  Now you’re getting somewhere.  Here’s the way I’ve found works best for me.  And, by the way, it is incredibly powerful with one or two other ‘like minded’ people.

1. Create a scenario in your mind of ideal circumstances, kind of like making up a script for a play.
2. Start talking about the situation as if it has already happened - or act out the script.  ”Wasn’t it incredible the day we got the ……”  Really get into it.  Make up conversations with your imagined perfect boss, over your new opportunity, or car, or the hang gliding you just did over the Alps!
3. If you have someone else bouncing back comments about the great thing that “just happened”, and maybe they shared it with you, then you can really build a powerful story, but even if you’re talking into the kitchen sink, you will begin to feel subtle changes in your emotions.  There will be instants of joy, of the thrill ride, of the satisfaction over your accomplishment.  Those are the emotions required to manifest number 4 - being open to receive.

Is it like a child’s make believe game?  Absolutely!  And guess what … make believe is a powerful game that children exercise daily.   Most major religions bring this up in one way or another. The bible text says something like “you must become like a little child in order to enter the kingdom of heaven”.   If you want your personal heaven, start pretending you’re in it.  Watch any little child and you can see they leave their current reality and become part of their play.

For some reason we lose the meaning and power of playing make believe by the time we are in the full swing of school.  It’s like society purposely dumbs down our imagination. We, as a society, need to get back to utilizing the make believe game.  It can change our personal lives as well as our nation and world.

Keep your focus on the scenario that you want to live in, not on the scenario you want to fix.  You could say:

“Wow, I’m so thankful now that I’ve paid off all of my debt and have mountains of money coming in!  It was so fast, too.”
That was OK but notice where the focus is.  There may be some knot left behind.

Or you could say:
“Wow, I’m so thankful for this perfect day.    It’s so great to be at ease with Charlie.  He’s the best business partner I could ever have.   He just called. He bought the tickets for my vacation to the Alps. What a great bonus!!  And to think everything is taken care of at home.  I’m living my dream.

The further you get into the scene, the more you’ll feel it.  The less you’ll think about the debt, the need for money, the knot.  I think you get the idea.  Give yourself a month of trying it out and you’ll begin to realize how powerful this tool can be.
