Using Your Imagination To Rediscover Abundance

Hello Friends,

Hope all is well. Abundance is all around us. It's hard to recognize it if we are constantly focused on all that is wrong with our lives. Everyone has problems. Everyone experiences difficulties. Challenges are inevitable in our existence.

The key to getting what you want in your life is living it right now. You may not have what you want yet but you can certainly pretend like you have it already. Begin to use your imagination again. It is a powerful thing. Imagination is what starts the process of thoughts becoming reality.

In the following article, Beth McCain gives us insight into simple exercises we can all do to help our desires materialize. As you become consistent with these exercises the results in your life will become more consistent and even predictable. Become the creator of your own existence. Life will be so much more enjoyable and exciting if you do. Have a great day, and thanks for listening.

How To Feel Abundance When It's Not Here Yet

How many times have you said to yourself, "Today is the day that all my dreams come true" and then the day passes. You see little progress in the Law of Attraction in your life. You are intentionally watching each thought and living in the now. After a while, those feelings of the day passing and the feeling of nothing happening causes you to doubt or even worry as each day passes.

How can you break the cycle?

First of all remember that just because you can't see it doesn't mean that the Universe has forgotten about you. You are in a constant state of movement as you decide what you want and don't want. You are always moving forward even when you don't feel as if you are. You are always experiencing and learning in this lifetime. Even when you are waiting you are experiencing waiting and learning that maybe it is not what you want. We are all about contrast and there is a contrast to everything. We compare people and events in our lives all the time. It is part of why we are here; to experience this world and all it has to offer.

Step out of your box. The box that says what you think is going to happen and use some tools that you have long forgotten that may be of some use to breaking through the lack of abundance. When we're talking abundance, we mean money but also your relationship, health, career, and anything else you can think of that you would like an abundance of.

Remember when you were a child and you would imagine that there were characters in your life that didn't exist? You'd dress up the cat and pretend she was a ballerina? Or you took out your plastic army men and made a whole world that was your own? Do you remember the feeling of play and how real it felt to you at the time?

If you don't remember just watch a child play for a while and you will get the picture.

Now you want to tap into that feeling once again and live what you want in your life for a few minutes. Draw a picture, cut out pictures, make a list, or whatever will work for you of the life that you want and use your childlike wonder to feel what it is like to live the life you desire.
Every time you do this exercise sends vibrations out to the Universe of joy and accomplishment of what you want now and the more that you can get into that feeling it will become a repetitive habit of the mind and BINGO…it will be yours.

See abundance in your everyday life. See it as if it is the air you breathe. Abundance is in all things that are available to you. Use that child mind and breathe in. When you breathe in, breathe in abundance in your mind. You can do this exercise anywhere. No one will even know. Take a deep breath and feel abundance.

Next, look for abundance. You don't have to specifically look for it in the area that you want it, just find it in your everyday life; in the trees, the sky, laughter, love, even material things. See that there truly is no lack of abundance in anything. When you can see that and can realize that you deserve it and that it is for you, abundance will come to you.

What is the best way to bring abundance into your life? Be thankful for what you have already in your life. Be appreciative of where you are today as you focus on what you want tomorrow. These feelings of thankfulness will bring you more than you could ever imagine through the Law of Attraction.

The Signs Are All Around Us

Hello Friends,

Hope all is well. I love when the Universe gives us signs reminding us that what we are wanting is on the way. I think I like the signs more that the actual manifestations of what it was I was wanting. Getting excited about the sign is way of giving thanks to the Universe. This excitement fuels the manifestation process.

The signs are all around us. We need to be sure that we are mindful enough to be aware of them. We often ask for "things", but when the Universe gives us a means to get there, we sometimes ignore, or are simply blind to these sign. When we miss these signs it means that we are not properly aligned with the Universe.

Remember this. ASK, ANSWER, RECEIVE.

Ask for what you want. The Universe will always Answer. Then be ready to Receive. It is the receiving that is sometimes the hardest. We may not feel ready to act. We may not believe that we have the ability to act. This way of thinking is a waste of time. The Universe has lined everything up for you. When the opportunity is there. Grab it!

The following is another excellent article from Beth McCain. Heed the signs in your life and you will start to see amazing events unfold before your very eyes. Thanks for listening, and many blessings!


Law Of Attraction: The Use And Meaning Of Signs From The Universe

Ever since I began studying and applying the Law of Attraction, I have always received signs from the Universe. Some are signs of encouragement or inspiration and some are signs to act upon.

Some ask if it is a lack of faith in the Universe if you ask for a sign of encouragement. The answer really depends on how you look at it, but from my point of view I believe signs are here to give us encouragement just like you would give your child praise and encouragement. Encouragement in the form of signs serves as a catalyst to do more and be more.

Signs of encouragement or inspiration send your heart to new heights: You wonder how something is going to work out and you receive a clear sign from the Universe that it will. When I first began practicing the Law of Attraction, I was a professional costume designer. I was unsure of how I was going to make money at it, but I knew at the time that this was what I wanted to do. I kept my focus on costume designing and would look through magazines and sketch out costumes that I would love to make.

I started to specialize in the old time look of Judy Garland and Shirley Temple. I devised a plan to make children's costumes that were old fashioned; glorious fairy costumes, skunks, Little Rascals, and of course Shirley Temple. I wasn't sure what would sell well and I asked the Universe for a sign. I had to make at least twenty copies of one costume to sell at an industry show. I didn't receive what anyone would call a blatant sign telling me what to do. I stepped back and just released it into the Universe and thanked the Universe for the sign.

One day as I was picking up fabrics, I parked next to a car with the license plate that read, 'Shrlyrcks.' "Wow!" I thought to myself, "I think that is my sign!" I was so excited that this was leading me in the direction I needed to go. I went into the fabric store and the fabric needed for a Shirley Temple costume was 75% off, today only! Boom! Boom! Two signs in a row! These kinds of signs take your heart to a new level. You feel so taken care of when you have blatant signs. So I designed the costumes and sold every last one of them at the show and took many orders home with me. Just remember to expect the signs and thank the Universe in advance for the signs and the subsequent manifestation of what you have been attaining.

You can also have the kind of sign from the Universe that says, "Here's your sign! It's your time for your light to shine! Act on it!" This kind of sign can be unnerving if you aren't used to 'acting upon' something, but it's best if you do because the Universe lined up the situations and people for this moment for you to help attain the life and wants that you desire.

My husband, Lee, has had many of these in his life time. One of the early signs was when he was a young man wanting to go to sea. He would sit at the union hall for weeks on end in hopes of catching a ship. Many of the old sailors laughed up their sleeves at this young buck waiting to catch a ship. Seniority always got the ships and the newbies usually didn't. It was closing time in the union hall and everyone was leaving. It wasn't quite time to leave but it was five minutes away from the door being locked. Lee said it just hit him. He had to go to the restroom and couldn't wait. Everyone left as Lee went to the restroom before leaving. Then something in Lee whispered, "Stay right here until the very end!" Lee listened to the Universe and one minute before closing a ship came in needing crew. The man at the counter called for seniority and no one was there but Lee. The same Universal voice whispered, "Get your bags and walk up to the counter NOW!" Lee acted and he caught the ship. It was a miracle that it happened but Lee focused on his intention and acted upon the sign from the Universe. Lee listened and was aware and acted upon his sign of going to the restroom before leaving.

These are just a few examples of how signs can come to you. Be aware but not impatient when wanting a sign. Ask and then let it go and just be prepared for the moment because it will come.

If you wonder if the Universe gave you sign, this is a true moment that if you had to ask, it is a sign.

Can you ask the Universe for a sign and get one instantly? You sure can. If you feel like you want inspiration or encouragement, let the Universe know that you are going to pick up a book and ask for a sign in the passage. It doesn't matter what book. Close your eyes, ask your question, or ask for a sign, and visualize that your physical is stepping aside for a moment while your higher self or Core Being as we call it, opens the book to the sign that is for you. Point to a spot and read. You will find that there will be words that are just for you via the Universe.

Follow your signs and the Law of Attraction and you will have the life you want in no time.

Thank You For The Gift Of Abundance

Hello Friends,

Hope all is well. THANK YOU FOR THE GIFT OF ABUNDANCE! This is the first thing I say when I get up in the morning. It reminds me that I have a lot to be thankful for. I probably end up saying this at least twenty times a day.

If I find a penny on the ground..."Thank you for the gift of abundance." When someone offers to buy me lunch..."Thank you for the gift of abundance." If someone smiles at me and it gives me a warm feeling..."Thank you for the gift of abundance." I try to say this in every situation that I'm in.

Once we decide to be thankful and recognize all the abundance that is around us, the Universe will give us more abundance to be thankful for. When I see some drive by in a Rolls Royce, I am thankful. I know that, if it were my desire to have a Rolls Royce, I could have it too. Some people become jealous or critical of someone in a Rolls Royce. They say that the rich are greedy and self-centered. I choose to think of their wealth as my wealth. I just need to find my avenue towards that wealth.

Don't complain about what you don't have. Don't complain about what other people have. Both mindsets lead to feelings of lack. When you think like this, no matter how much you get, it will never be enough. Appreciate what is right i front of you. Take time to just sit and listen to nature. The Universe has provided everything that we need to be happy.

Here's an excellent article that gives us a great exercise to get into the mindset of abundant thinking. You are full of abundance. Be thankful and more abundance will be revealed to you. Many blessings and thanks for listening.

Law Of Attraction: Technique In Abundant Manifesting

Convincing your logical mind that you can have anything that you desire (and in abundance) can actually keep you from manifesting what you want to attain in your life. Here's a technique to teach the logical mind that you can have abundance in any area of your life, and with no limits.

Find a quiet spot where you can do some good old fashioned contemplating; just you, and a place far away from the busyness of life. Get yourself into a comfortable position and begin to think about how abundant this world really is.

There is a difference between positive abundance thinking and negative abundance thinking. When you think positive abundance, you are thinking about the world and what it is abundant in. Take a look at nature. Take a look at the sky. The Universe supplies abundantly. The sky is abundant. Think of all the birds that are in the sky; abundance. Think of the grass and how abundantly it grows. Think about all the money in the world and how much abundance there is. Think about the water that you drink each day and how abundant the water flows. This is positive abundance thinking.

Negative abundance thinking is drinking a fresh, sparkling clean drink of water while contemplating how one day there won't be water, looking at the limitless sky while concentrating on how abundant the smog is, seeing the birds in the sky just knowing how many birds will be extinct because of the pollution in the world today, or the abundance of cars and all their harmful rotten emissions.

Do you see the difference? Both represent abundant thought.

Contemplate all of the positive abundance that is around you. While you are sitting in your quiet spot, think of the abundance in the world. The logical mind will see and listen while you contemplate. It will begin to see the abundance that the Universe creates and will recognize that you are a part of this incredible abundant world.

I have a spot where I sit that overlooks a lush meadow, complete with the sound of running water. Everything that I see is in excess. There is green grass that seems to go on forever, there is water that is abundantly running through the creek bed, all of the plants that surround the creek bed and grow so wild and abundantly, all the different species of birds eating from the bird feeders, all of the trees that crowd together because of the abundant soil, the sky that is truly limitless, the 13 deer that stroll across the meadow (and those are the ones I can see; there are many more in the woods), and the list goes on and on.

Teaching your logical mind to focus on the abundance in the world will begin to help you attain your desires. When you see and feel abundance everywhere, the Universe will bring you more to feel abundant about. Do this exercise as often as possible. As you go through your day think of the positive abundance that is in the world.

When you have a dollar bill, think about how many dollar bills and how much money is in the world. When you are eating an ice cream cone and enjoying it, think about the abundance of joy that ice cream brings to so many people. Begin to look at everything through the eyes of positive abundance and it will change your life. When you begin to focus on positive abundance instead of negative abundance, you will direct your life toward the abundance of good that comes from the Universe and the Law of Attraction. Now that is abundant!

Keep It To Yourself (for a little while)

Hello Friends,

Hope all is well. Here's a great article about the importance of secrecy when applying the Law Of Attraction. Many times we have a great goals and aspirations but we allow our friends and family to deter us. It's only natural that we listen to the people that are closest to us. Unfortunately the people closest to us are usually the one that hurt us the most when they don't agree with what you're doing.

Family members feel that they have the right to tell you what's best for you. They may criticize you when you try something new. This stems from their own insecurities. They may tell you to stay in a safe secure job because they need security. They advise you not to take chances, but anything worth having is worth taking a risk. The important thing to do is to educate yourself fully about what you are pursuing to eliminate as much risk as possible.

Your dreams are yours. Let people say what the will about you. "What you think of me is none of my business." I say this to myself when someone says something negative that might throw me off my path to success. This reminds me that other peoples opinions or thoughts really don't affect me at all. It's absolutely no business of mine what they think about me. Those are their thoughts. They have to deal with the negativity that they are allowing into their lives. It shouldn't worry me at all.

Strive for your goals. If you're a little sensitive, keep your dreams to yourself for a while. As things start to come together for you, those same individuals who criticized you will soon flock to you for advise on how you made it big. Get excited about what you're doing. Great things are right around the corner if you allow for it. Thanks for listening and many blessings.

Secrecy And The Law Of Attraction

You've been applying the Law of Attraction in your life. You have a great image that you have been focusing on, and you have come into the feeling of 'knowing' that the Universe is on the case. You're excited about your plans and your desires and you just want to shout them from the rooftops. You want everyone to know this great thing called the Law of Attraction and how it is manifesting exactly what you want in your life. Should you be shouting it across the rooftops? Let's examine.

Have you ever had one of those days when everything is just right? The whole day just seems to be gelling, and you feel great. You tell a colleague about your incredible day and the "well-meaning colleague" says something to you that just hits you wrong, and it makes you feel bad about yourself. So the rest of the day you begin to doubt yourself. The one remark just throws your day off. Now you've entered a state of doubt and soon the feelings of lack set in. This one person, who had no idea that they put any doubt in your head, changed your day. Your feeling of doubt really is your responsibility, whether you accept the remark or not, but this kind of event can throw your thoughts and feelings into a space you don't want to take them.

This is a reason to keep your enthusiastic thoughts and feelings to yourself while you manifest what you desire. If you are the kind who isn't affected by someone else's thoughts, then go ahead and shout. But if you're like most of us, there will be someone who can throw a wrench into the mix and get you off kilter.

Many famous inventors kept their thoughts and feelings about their inventions to themselves while they were in the process of creating them. Wilbur and Orville Wright, Alexander Graham Bell, and Thomas Edison (just to name a few) had initially told many about what they were inventing but people didn't appreciate what they were creating for mankind. They were pegged as crazy, but as we all know the inventions they created changed the world. When they heard what people were saying, they stopped talking about their inventions. They would work deep into the night so no one would see what they were doing or ask them doubtful questions or offer them unsolicited opinions. If they had taken those opinions to heart would they have made less incredible inventions? They learned early on to keep silent and create until the creation was physically manifested. Even then others didn't think what they did was possible.

There will always be people in the world who doubt. It's our responsibility as Law of Attraction practitioners to remember that the others who create doubt in your mind don't understand what you have found in the Law of Attraction. And their opinions only affect you if you allow them to.

You are like the great inventors of the world, creating a wonderful physical manifestation for your life. So if others affect what you think and feel, then keep it quiet. Be like the great inventors of the world and believe in and build your dream without the sideway glances of others. You can achieve this by being silent. And once your image becomes physically manifested through the Law of Attraction, shout it from the rooftops.

5 Powerful Practices That Lead To What You Want

Hello Friends,

Hope all is well. The following article gives us some excellent tips to help apply the principles of Law Of Attraction(LOA). Focus on what you want rather than what you don't want. It's just that simple and at the same time just that hard. Using LOA takes time and practice. It literally becomes a complete life changing way of being. Once we understand that all we have need for is already provided for us we we will understand that we have no needs. It's all available to us.

Don't resist what the Universe has for you. I often tell my self, "The Universe wants you to succeed. Don't get in the way Dex." I try to remind myself constantly to just "go with the flow." I'm done resisting.

Enjoy this short but powerful article. The 5 tips will help you to achieve what it is you are wanting for your life. Many blessings and thanks for listening.

Five Sure Fire Law Of Attraction Practices

When learning about the Law of Attraction, you find that there are many things that you have to consider and apply in your life. You have to be willing to go inside yourself and change some basic patterns that you have been using; many of them you didn’t even know existed within yourself. Here are some thoughts you’ll want to consider when applying the Law of Attraction.

1.)Everything in your life started from a thought and a feeling

And that thought and feeling came from you. Everything is a reflection of what you have been thinking and feeling. It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? It’s hard to grasp that people and situations that you really didn’t want in your life came into being from you. So instead of balking and pushing against this thought, think back to every situation that you have had that has been less than happy. Think about what led up to that point. Were you focusing on some negative thoughts? Were you getting involved in fear feelings? And lo and behold, the situation came crashing into your sphere? This can be changed just by focusing on what you do want in your life, and not on what you don’t want in your life. At the same time, think of a time when what you wanted to happen did? What were your feelings and thoughts that led up to that moment? You will find that everything really came from you. The great thing is that you can change your life; you and you alone can do it with the help of the Universe.

2.)Finding gratefulness in everything you do

I know this sounds a bit Pollyanna but it is the truth when applying the Law of Attraction. It’s easy to be grateful when you get everything that you want but it’s not that easy to be grateful when the opposite occurs. With the Law of Attraction it’s important to find things to be grateful for all day long, even something as mundane as cleaning out the cat's litter box. Being grateful ranks right up there with feeling love and these two emotions can change your life by remaining in that positive state as often as possible. So what do you do? Find what is grateful in every situation, even cleaning the litter box. Focus your gratitude on the loving cat that you clean up after, it’s really that simple. This goes for everything: situations, people, and anything else you can think of. Anyone can be grateful for happy things. It takes a great LOA practitioner to be grateful in a ‘less than grateful’ situation.

3.)Don’t get involved in the extremes

How many times have you had someone call or pull you aside at work and tell you all the problems of the world? You get wrapped up in what they are saying and it stays on your mind all day long. When you go home, you tell your spouse all about it and call your mother and do the same. This is called getting involved in the extremes. Someone else tells you something and you build upon it and you get involved in thoughts and feelings that do not help you in the least. Walk the middle road. When someone comes to you with problems there is nothing wrong with listening and helping out if that is what you want to do, but make sure to stay out of the extremes and walk the middle of the road. Don’t veer over to the sides of the road that represent the extremes. Getting involved emotionally can wreak havoc with your own personal being. We all know that getting personally involved with your thoughts and feelings will only bring you more to be concerned about. Take the road of the Tao. Observe what is around you and help with what you can, but keep your emotions in check and walk the road of least resistance.

4.)Focus on what matters to you

Applying the Law of Attraction is about focusing on what we want in our lives and not focusing on what we don’t want. We find many of us can’t help but think of ‘what could’ happen, usually conjuring up a negative scenario in the process. Focus on what you want in your life. Focus on the joy that you have and are going to have. Focus on this incredible world wherein we are able to create whatever we desire. Focus on the joy certain people bring to you. Focus that your rent is paid this month.

Don’t focus on "if" your rent be paid next month. Don’t focus on the faults of the people in your life. Don’t focus on how bad this world is and how it is crumbling apart. Don’t focus on the lack of joy in your life. Don’t focus on what you don’t want to be a part of your life. There is a big difference in what you put your attention to. Don’t let a few bad moments in the day ruin your focus. The less attention you put toward those moments, the fewer and farther between they will become. The more attention you put toward the good things in your life, the more you will have of those kinds of moments.

5.)Be aware of opportunities

How many times have you felt you missed an opportunity of some sort? Most likely the ‘missed’ opportunity is squelched either by fear or by just not being aware it was even there. When you miss an opportunity remember that the Universe will bring another your way if you want it to. The key phrase is if you want it to. When there is a missed opportunity how you react to it is what will bring you another opportunity or another missed opportunity. If you ask the Universe for another one, it will come but if you wallow in the fact that you missed the first one, then the Universe will attract similar events right back to you. Being aware is imperative within the Law of Attraction. When you focus and visualize on the life you desire and then become oblivious to the signs that the Universe is giving you to take action, it will take more time to receive your desires. Be ready and aware when the Universe gives you a sign to act upon and brings your desire right to you.

The Law of Attraction takes practice. And like anything, with practice you improve until one day you will find that your life has become exactly what you focused on, desired, and wanted it to be.

Abundance & Accumulation

Hello Friends,

Hope all is well. There are a few things to remember when applying the Law of Attraction. One aspect is to remember that the Universe is abundantly rich. There is enough for everyone. We have to come to a realization that this is so. Once we accept this, we eliminate all limitations. With no limitations, we can do all things.

This is an article that touches on the subject of the Law of Abundance. May these words be an inspiration to you. Enjoy.

Law Of Attraction Classics: Master Key System - Abundance And Accumulation

You know that it is not necessary to take from one to give to another, but that the supply for all is abundant. Nature's storehouse of wealth is inexhaustible and if there seems to be a lack of supply anywhere it is only because the channels of distribution are as yet imperfect.

Abundance depends upon a recognition of the laws of Abundance. Mind is not only the creator, but the only creator of all there is. Certainly nothing can be created before we know that it can be created and then make the proper effort. There is no more Electricity in the world today than there was fifty years ago, but until someone recognized the law by which it could be made of service, we received no benefit; now that the law is understood, practically the whole world is illuminated by it. So with the law of Abundance; it is only those who recognize the law and place themselves in harmony with it, who share in its benefits.

A recognition of the law of abundance develops certain mental and moral qualities, among which are Courage, Loyalty, Tact, Sagacity, Individuality and Constructiveness. These are all moods of thought, and as all thought is creative, they manifest in objective conditions corresponding with the mental condition. This is necessarily true because the ability of the individual to think is his ability to act upon the Universal Mind and bring it into manifestation; it is the process whereby the individual becomes a channel for the differentiation of the Universal. Every thought is a cause and every condition an effect.

This principle endows the individual with seemingly transcendental possibilities, among which is the mastery of conditions through the creation and recognition of opportunities. This creation of opportunity implies the existence or creation of the necessary qualities or talents which are thought forces and which result in a consciousness of power which future events cannot disturb. It is this organization of victory or success within the mind, this consciousness of power within, which constitutes the responsive harmonious action whereby we are related to the objects and purposes which we seek. This is the law of attraction in action; this law, being the common property of all, can be exercised by any one having sufficient knowledge of its operation.

Courage is the power of the mind which manifests in the love of mental conflict; it is a noble and lofty sentiment; it is equally fitted to command or obey; both require courage. It often has a tendency to conceal itself. There are men and women, too, who apparently exist only to do what is pleasing to others, but when the time comes and the latent will is revealed, we find under the velvet glove an iron hand, and no mistake about it.

True courage is cool, calm, and collected, and is never foolhardy, quarrelsome, ill-natured or contentious.

Accumulation is the power to reserve and preserve a part of the supply which we are constantly receiving, so as to be in a position to take advantage of the larger opportunities which will come as soon as we are ready for them. Has it not been said, "To him that hath shall be given"? All successful business men have this quality, well developed. James J. Hill, who recently died, leaving an estate of over fifty-two million dollars said: "If you want to know whether you are destined to be a success or failure in life, you can easily find out. The test is simple and it is infallible: Are you able to save money? If not, drop out. You will lose. You may think not, but you will lose as sure as you live. The seed of success is not in you."

This is very good so far as it goes, but any one who knows the biography of James J. Hill knows that he acquired his fifty million dollars by following the exact methods we have given. In the first place, he started with nothing; he had to use his imagination to idealize the vast railroad which he projected across the western prairies. He then had to come into a recognition of the law of abundance in order to provide the ways and means for materializing it; unless he had followed out this program he would never had anything to save.

Accumulativeness acquires momentum; the more you accumulate the more you desire, and the more you desire the more you accumulate, so that it is but a short time until the action and reaction acquire a momentum that cannot be stopped. It must, however, never be confounded with selfishness, miserliness or penuriousness; they are perversions and will make any true progress impossible.
