This thread is for everyone that practices "Law of Attraction". Can you post your daily techniques, please??
I'll start with mine:
1. Think positive every minute of the day (or at least try to)
2. Always think about your object (or person) of desire a few dozen times a day
3. Avoid all negative thought. As soon as a negative thought comes to mind replace it with something positive.
4. Dont hate on people, not even the worst of mankind
5. Be thankful for all the goods things you have or own. And give daily thanks to the universe (or God, or whomever you believe in)
6. Feel good physically. Take vitamins, minerals.....etc
7. Eat well
8. Sleep well
Well damn! You came up with that?!
I've been doing that for quite a while now... I should thank you. :)
... and maybe give you royalties. :D
;)

You be surprised how many people dont follow all 8 rules though. I'd say at least 90% of the population, if not more

hehe!
Of that I have no doubt. :)
I'd say that the essence of these teachings is that you already live from the desired result. Which means you live and act the way "as if" it's already achieved, but not by 'pretending' and it's is even more than just 'visualising', it's rather by assuming it as fact. The result can be sth you want (object, person, state, any abstract achievement) or the state of yourself as the person you are to become.

Using Tom Campbell's metaphor for a second, that's taking what you know on the intellectual level and moving it into the "being" level.
It's the difference between choosing to do something because you think it's the right thing to do and just doing the right thing without thought. :)
I think it helps to view time in a non-linear fashion. The future already exists and can influence the past, and vice-versa. Throw that into the mix and the law of attraction makes more sense. To me at least.
The way the LOA is mostly put forward is to manifest every desire by wishful thinking. That's materialistic new-age crap. We don't need to manifest every desire, we need to learn to live with less desire for things we don't need.

This seems more like being mindful than LOA. Of course good things will come out of it because you're using and strengthening your will and changing thinking habits by doing these things. It's all good stuff.
You're definitely on the right track with your list. The only thing you don't need to do (according to Esther Hicks, the best LOA teacher out there) is to keep focused on what you want since your not having it will could throw you out of the Vortex/Zone of creation. So be satisfied with where you are/what you have (that's the gratitude part) and it will more easily come into your experience.
If focusing on your desire doesn't make you feel negative by not having it, then that's OK. For instance, I wanted a second home in California so I looked online for years for the perfect place. It didn't make me feel bad that I didn't have it because it was a 'nice to have' object. When I found it and knew it was the one, everything lined up for me to easily get it (my friends with a plane flew me there that weekend to see it, my husband loved it too, my realtor jumped through all sorts of hoops to get our offer accepted before another).
In a nutshell, everything I've ever wanted has materialized since I learned to chill out/lighten up/get happy/live in the present.

The way Kevin Trudeau explained it, if you for example desire a new car you cannot keep thinking on why you dont have that new car yet. Instead you have to convince yourself that this new car will shortly be in your possession, and act and think accordingly.
If you keep thinking negatively and worry that you wont get that new car, then you will not get that new car. Its as simple as that.

You hit the nail on the head here. Couldnt agree more
BTW I read somewhere that if you see really successfull, good looking people, who seem to have it all, are rich, dont age much...etc, chances are very good they use the LofA in their lives.
Examples: Jane Seymour, Jaclyn Smith, Tom Cruise...etc
Of course they also could just have really good surgeons.....LOL.
And while I still think Scientology is a cult, they do practice LofA also apparently.
So that would explain why so many of them are succesfull in life
Can you guys recommend what the best book(s) are on LofA??

don't get caught up in the hype of "the law of attraction".
those types of books tend to neglect one VERY important aspect, which is belief and emotion.
emotion is sooo important in this process. you need to truly feel and believe what you're attempting to attract. faking it won't work (excluding the old 'fake it till you make it' adage). you need genuine emotional memory.
you need to make yourself a magnet and emotional energy is how you do that.
if you're trying to attract something that you haven't had an emotional experience with before, you need to search your memory for a comparable emotion and really feel it. actors are good at this. using an old memory to make their acted memory appear real (because it is real, it's just not necessarily caused by the context of the script).

Anything by Esther Hicks, especially the more recent books. Also, she has thousands of youtube.com workshop clips you can access for free.
And to Personal Reality, all Esther talks about is emotions so don't dismiss LOA until you've read/listened to her.

^^^^ thanks Jilt
Something interesting I noticed re: LofA. If I think about something I need a few dozen times throughout the day I start feeling vibrations, its the same vibrations that I feel just before I OBE. It feels like energy surging through my body. And that energy gets stronger the more I think about whatever I'm trying to attract
Pretty damn cool I must say :-D
I haven't experienced that but it makes sense since Esther Hicks talks about when you focus on something you'd like to have without emotional (negative) resistance you are channeling Source energy which she says causes more energy to flow.
Perhaps it's similar to what you experience when in a positive emotional state while OOB -- you see the result of your state of mind immediately (better ability to fly and more positive outcomes). It's just that in the physical/waking world there's a little time lag which can throw off people because they want the result now.
The more I've been in alignment and received everything I've ever wanted, the quicker the manifestations happen for me now because I don't want anything all that badly, it's all gravy at this point.

i sold this crap for a living for two years.
it works for like 1% of people. it's sold as a self-help/new age fad. that's what i'm telling you not to be caught up in.
i use "law of attraction" (though i don't call it that, but whatever) successfully daily. it works for me because i worked it out for myself from personal experience and a plethora of external information. i didn't rely on just name drops like esther hicks and abraham.....lol, or the secret.
don't think you know me because i'm telling people to work it out from personal experience rather than esther hicks.
word.
^^^^ the fact you call it crap tells me you dont really believe in LofA. And if you dont believe in it then its not surprising you only get 1% success rate. You have to practice what you preach, if you dont then how can you expect to get results to whomever you teach it to??!
lol, read my post.
i use it daily.
the "crap" i'm talking about is the new age fad stuff.
calm down people.
i take issue with this stuff because it's just repackaged occult teaching. i mean, good for these people if they can make some money off of it, but it's just another example of manipulating a practice that involved dedication and commitment in order to profit off of people's greed and impulse. there are deeper spiritual truths that get ignored in an effort to streamline something so that it can be sold more easily.
i don't believe in "the law of attraction", i believe in my innate ability to bend reality to my will, but it's bigger than that. it's the rhythms of existence, and these LoA books side step the spiritual discipline in favor of instant gratification.
sure i'm cynical about it, but you would be too if you saw this stuff on a mass scale and saw how it's marketed. revolting really.
but still, no hard feelings, i'm not telling anyone not to follow a path that feels right to them. i would never do that. i'm just sharing my feelings on the matter. but you don't have to listen to me. i'm just one person on a personal quest, just because i find fault doesn't mean fault exists.
So your issue is with the commercialization of LofA then, fair enough. I guess I misunderstood your post :-)
Maybe there is a bit of that going on, but I'm happy LofA is at least starting to get out there instead of it just being in the hands of a lucky few people. So in that respect I'm happy its going commercial
Question for everyone, please.
How long does it take before you receive something you want using LofA?? For example if you need a new car, does it take days, weeks, months, years??! I know its different for everyone, but please post your own personal experience(s) as to how long it took before you received what you wanted using LofA
I'm at the point where manifestations happen really fast since I don't want anything that badly that I don't already have - that is the key - appreciate what you have and offer no resistant thought. The more you are in a positive blissful state about all subjects, the more you are in the Vortex or what I call The Zone and everything literally falls into your lap with little effort. I know this sounds magical/airy-fairy but it really does work.
To know if you're there or not, if you think about a subject (money, cars, health, relationships, the world) and you feel negative emotion, clean up your thinking (look at the positive aspects) to shift your point of attraction/vibration. Listen to any "Abraham Hicks" workshop recordings on utube and it'll help get you there.
^^^^ well that means I'm definitely in "The Zone" because I get very, very excited when thinking about my work projects. Money doesnt get me too excited anymore cause I already have enough to live on comfortably. The work I'm engaged in now is more a labour of love, as opposed to me looking to get rich off it.
Also I phrased same question on another forum and got some good responses: http://www.spiritualforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=18574
It really depends on your state of mind and your ability to maintain focus on yourself as an emotional magnet for what you're attracting.
That's why I like to burn candles (usually 7 day) and keep them in a visible place. Everytime I see it I am reminded of my goal and I stop to "charge" the thought as it were.
I receive what I intend on a daily basis, however, in relation to 'big things' that i focus a lot of energy, typically less than a week. The issue is that you really have to believe that it is possible for something to come to you in this manner and be willing to take an opportunity that arises to accomplish your goal. And you usually don't ever get something for nothing....
To add: It finds the path of least resistance. It's good to create conditions for it to flow into your life if you want it at a specific time. A little action can go a long way, rather than just waiting.
Has anyone else noticed your memory gets better when you practice LofA??
It gets better without even having to try and memorize things

Try to fuse your energy, with this surge of energy.. maybe it will allow it to manifest easier!
Wow, this LofA thingie really works!! I'm getting better at it as time goes along :lol:
So happy I found this forum. I am quite interested in the LofA, in particular the works of Abraham (Esther Hicks). I went to a workshop recently she gave, it was wonderful, and I do have a few of her DVDs and CDs. I don't know if I believe she is really what she claims, but I think the message she gives makes sense to me.
The LofA seems to work for me on a smaller scale. Like the other day in a restaurant I didn't see crostini on their list of appetisers, and that's what I wanted. And when the waitress rattled off the specials she said "oh and we have crostini too" without me asking! I know maybe it was coincidence, but isn't that the same thing.?
And I do like the basic message of "being happy" for the moment, which gets you into the Vortex. I feel that is so, but the problem I have is being happy for the moment; often it is hard.
Anyway I am glad to be here, thanks for the topic. It brightened my day.
Rich

Yeah, its kinda impossible to prove LOA in essence. People that believe in it will think its LOA, and skeptics will say it all happens by chance.
For me it works virtually 100% of the time, that cant be just luck

Before (LONG before) I even heard of the Law of Attraction I was implementing it. I dont say this lightly, or with any kind of bragging... but everything and I mean EVERYTHING ive ever wanted, I have. When I wanted them, I KNEW I was going to get them and so thought in that way. I didnt think "oh man I dont have it" I thought "I KNOW one day I will have it". Literally everything. Some examples....
I used to have a list of things I wanted to do. Ive done them all. Abseiling, caving, scuba diving, sky diving. Done them all. I am now a fully qualified SCUBA diver (advanced PADI) and also a fully qualified sky diver (B license).
I always KNEW I would have a Mustang GT. Being from the UK this is a very rare thing. I have now had 2 mustang GTs.
I wanted to be earning 30,000 pound a year by the time I was 30. Im now 29 and earn much more than that.
I wanted to leave the UK - which alot of people want but never do. Ive now been living out of the UK for 5 years.
I wanted to meet someone who was like me and not from the UK. Ive been married to my perfect girl (from Lebanon) for 4 years now.
I always hated working my arse of for others, so wanted to work for myself in my dream job. Now I own my own photography business.
Basically the things I have wanted are way more than most people from my area want or will ever achieve. I wanted them, no...I KNEW I would have them and I have.
I can name more but you get my point. The Law of Attraction really works but I agree with other posters. You cannot want too much because wanting is caused by worrying about whether or not you will get it. KNOWING you will get it is the key. I know I used the word "wanted" above but its really not wanting, its knowing. It was after all of the above happened that I read the secret and heard about the LOA and I realised at this time that I had been doing it all along.
Listen, everything is about intent. REAL intent. OBE's, LOA..everything...is intent. Just dont let that intent become a want because wanting something is different from you intending to have it. Wanting is fueled by not having, intent is fueled by knowing you will have it. I know this is not a OBE discussion but its exactly the same. Those who WANT OBE's have trouble. Those who intend to and know they will, have more success. Intent is the key for everything in life. In my opinion. Intent is raw consciousness. Its what the consciousness feels and therefore draws what it needs. You can say one thing, but if you intend different then your screwed.
Not sure I have explained myself correctly but I hope you get what I mean.
EDIT: I also want to clarify...the things that happened didnt just present themselves on a plate, each one was based upon a choice I made. The LOA doesnt just gift you things, you have to take advantage of a situation which will be presented to you. For example...the thing about my having my own business. I wanted to do it for years, But I was earning a LOAD of money in my previous job. So I wouldnt have quit. Then I got stabbed in the back and fired (long story). I could have looked for another similar job and earned the same or more monthly wage. But I knew what I wanted, and I knew this was my chance. I could have gotten another job but I was presented with an opportunity to start my own business. I took it.
