			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The law of vacuum is a powerful Universal law that you can use to help achieve your goals and dreams.</p>
<p><strong>The Universe abhors a vacuum.</strong></p>
<p>Try digging up some grass and watch how quickly that space fills back in with new plants. Take a cup of water out of a pool and watch how quickly the rest of the water moves in to fill it&#8217;s place.</p>
<p>Whenever a space is cleared, the Universe rushes to fill that space.</p>
<p>You can probably even see this law at work in your own life. If you clear out all the junk and clutter from your home, do you find that new stuff quickly seems to fill it up again?</p>
<p>This is that law of vacuum at work! Clear some space physically, or even mentally/emotionally, and the Universe will quickly fill that space again.</p>
<p>Use this law to your advantage. If your trying to attract something into your life, make sure that you&#8217;ve made room for it&#8217;s arrival.</p>
<ul>
<li>Looking to get a new wardrobe? Trying clearing all of your old clothes out of the closet.</li>
<li>Trying to attract a mate into your life, make room in your home like you&#8217;re expecting someone to move in.</li>
<li>Would you like to get a new vehicle? Clear out space in your garage so you have a place to park it.</li>
<li>Want a new rug or curtains? Get rid of the old ones now.</li>
</ul>
<p>Make room in your life for the things you desire and watch how quickly they come to fill that space!

<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 266px"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Question.svg"><img title="question mark" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/82/Question.svg/256px-Question.svg.png" alt="question mark" width="256" height="256" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image via Wikipedia</p></div>

<p>Whenever you catch yourself feeling or thinking negatively, try using this question to quickly raise your vibration&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if&#8230;?</strong></p>
<p>Your vibrational rate dictates what experiences you&#8217;re attracting into your life. Negative thoughts and feeling have a low vibration and attract negative experiences. Positive thoughts and feelings have a high vibration and attract positive experiences into your life.</p>
<p>If you catch yourself feeling or thinking negatively and want to quickly turn yourself around and get your vibrational rate up, try asking yourself&#8230; &#8220;Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if&#8230;(you fill in the blank)?&#8221;.</p>
<p>For example, let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re facing some financial struggles that are really bringing your vibration down. If you stop and ask yourself, &#8220;Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if I had a lot more money coming in?&#8221; Asking yourself a question like that will quickly get your mind thinking about what it would be like if you had a lot more money coming in. Presto, suddenly your thoughts and feelings have shifted from thoughts of lack, to thoughts of prosperity.</p>
<p>Whatever negative state you find yourself in, it&#8217;s easy to come up with a &#8220;Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if&#8230;&#8221; question that will quickly shift your vibrational rate to a higher one.</p>
<p>Give it a try for yourself and leave a comment below letting me know how it works for you. I&#8217;d love to hear from you! <img src='http://www.practical-self-help.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Giving starts the process of receiving into your own life.</p>
<p>When you give of yourself, your time, your money, your talents, or anything else that you have to share, you open yourself up to receive more blessings into your own life.</p>
<p>When you give freely and happily, you are putting positive energy out into the world. This energy will always come back to you and usually it comes back many times bigger than what you gave out. It must, it&#8217;s a Universal law. Just keep in mind that the Universe is the One that will decide how that energy is returned to you. So when you give, give freely and expect nothing in return from those you give to.</p>
<p>Start the receiving process in your own life by making a regular practice of giving!

<p>&#8220;Be the change you want to see in the world.&#8221;<br />
- Mahatma Gandhi</p>
<p>Changing the world begins by changing yourself.</p>
<p>Your thoughts, feelings, and actions have an incredible effect on the world around you as a whole. Traditional religious teachings have been saying this for thousands of years and quantum physics is beginning to prove this to be true.</p>
<p>If you want to change the world, begin by changing yourself. If you want to see more peace in the world, create this change by being more peaceful yourself in both thought and action. If you want to see the world be a more loving place, be and feel more loving yourself.</p>
<p>You are not powerless! You can make a difference! Don&#8217;t wait for somebody else to do it, it can begin with you <img src='http://www.practical-self-help.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s a cool way to ramp up make your visualizations more effective and help you manifest your goals and dreams.</p>
<p>The key to creating positive things in your life is all based on how you feel emotionally. You see, it&#8217;s your emotions that either allow, or repel the good that you desire.</p>
<p>Basically, as you improve your emotional state, what you attract into your life experience improves as well.</p>
<p>If you want to use this to your advantage, tap into a higher emotional state when you do your visualizations (you are visualizing right!?).</p>
<p>One great way to do this is when you first sit or lie down to visualize, think about something that brings you great joy or something or someone that you feel great love for. Hold onto that thought until you feel yourself being overwhelmed with the emotion of joy and/or love. Appreciation is another strong, positive emotion. So if you prefer, you can also think about something in your life that you are extremely grateful for.</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve locked onto that strong positive emotion, hold onto it and start visualizing what you would like to create in your life. The combination of a strong positive emotion coupled with images of what you desire to create will cause a strong attractive force within you that will help pull your visualizations into your life experience.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it, short and sweet! <img src='http://www.practical-self-help.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Give it a try, and please share your results. I&#8217;d love to hear about them!</p>

<p>I recently came across a cool way to build up your money manifesting muscles on <a title="Intentional Tracers" href="http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2010/04/intentional-tracers/" target="_blank">Steve Pavlina&#8217;s website</a>. I thought it was a great idea so I&#8217;ve been trying it out over the last couple of weeks with great success. I wanted to share it with today so you can try it out yourself. It&#8217;s quite easy and fun to do.</p>
<p>The basic principle of the technique is that you slowly increase the amount of money that you are trying to manifest while at the same time keeping it fun and lighthearted.</p>
<p>I think the fun and lighthearted part is a key part of what makes this technique work so well. Often when we&#8217;re trying to manifest money, we&#8217;re doing it because we need it for something. This causes a lot of mental and emotional stress which blocks the whole manifesting process. By keeping it fun and light, you take the pressure and stress out of the equation and open yourself wide to let financial abundance start flowing to you.</p>
<p>If you want some extra evidence that the manifesting process works, you can add something to your intention. So if you&#8217;re working on manifesting one dollar, you could intend that you receive one dollar and an apple (or anything else you can think of). When that dollar shows up, look for the apple show up around the same time. The apple might be a physical apple, or it might just be an image of an apple that you see when the dollar shows up. Either way, it&#8217;s a nice way to confirm that what you receive is because of your intention and not just a coincidence. Plus, this type of confirmation can boost your confidence in the manifesting process and help you continue to manifest even bigger amounts in the future.</p>
<h4>What I Did&#8230;</h4>
<p>As I mentioned earlier. This technique requires that you slowly increase the amounts you are trying to manifest. So I started with pennies. I simply intended that I receive unexpected pennies. I thought about this periodically throughout the day and imagined having a pocket or jar full of pennies that unexpectedly showed up for me.</p>
<p>Within less than two days I was starting to find pennies while I was out walking <a title="7 Things My Dog Taught Me About Living Life" href="http://www.practical-self-help.com/2009/11/7-things-my-dog-taught-me-about-living-life/" target="_self">my dog</a>. I don&#8217;t even walk my dog where you would normally expect to find pennies. I usually stick to wooded paths or residential areas. I mean, really, how often do people drop pennies while walking in a residential area? In or around a store would make more sense when you actually have to handle your money.</p>
<p>Anyways, after a couple of days, I was confident in my ability to manifest pennies so I increased the amount to include loose change in general. Two days later I felt compelled to take my dog for a walk fairly late at night (I usually walk her mid-day). Anyways, while I was out on this walk, I found a quarter and several pennies just lying in the middle of the street near my house. Again, in an area where I usually wouldn&#8217;t expect to find lost change.</p>
<p>By this point I was feeling confident enough to increase the amount to a dollar. But this time I decided to include chocolate with it. So I put the intention out there to receive an unexpected dollar and chocolate. The very next day, a package shows up in the mail with a very expensive chocolate bar in it as a gift. I didn&#8217;t specifically receive the dollar, but this chocolate was free and worth well over a dollar so I chalked it up as a successful manifestation.</p>
<p>From there I moved on to five dollars and pizza. Less than two days later I find a pizza on sale in my local grocery store for exactly five dollars. This seemed like a sign, so I bought it. The day after my pizza purchase, I received just over five dollars from an online revenue stream that rarely generates more than a dollar or two a day. This was just way to weird to be a coincidence.</p>
<p>By this point I&#8217;m laughing to myself and looking forward to my next  manifestation. So now I&#8217;m working on receiving an unexpected ten dollars and I&#8217;m full of anticipation to see how this one shows as I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;ll make me laugh some more. This has turned into such an entertaining game for me that I plan to keep increasing the amounts as I go along. Sooner or later I&#8217;m sure that I&#8217;ll be manifesting a hundred thousand dollars just for fun. <img src='http://www.practical-self-help.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><em>- update &#8211; May 2, 2010 &#8211; I&#8217;ve completed $10 and $20. I&#8217;m now working on $50  =)</em></p>
<h4>Give It a Try Yourself</h4>
<p>Give this process a try for yourself and start building your own money manifesting muscles.</p>
<p>To get started, just put the intention out there and think about it a few times a day. I suggest that you start small and try manifesting pennies. When you are regularly finding pennies, increase the amount to change in general. From there go to a dollar, then five dollars, ten, twenty, one hundred&#8230;</p>
<p>You only want to increase amounts when you&#8217;re confident about the amount you&#8217;re working on now. If jumping from five dollars to ten dollars seems like a stretch, then stick with five dollars for a while longer, or just increase it to six. You don&#8217;t want to have any pressure or doubts while you&#8217;re doing this. Keep it fun and easy, you&#8217;ll have much better results if you do.</p>
<p>If you want some extra evidence that the money you are receiving is a result of your intentions, include something odd with your intention like five dollars and pizza. The results of these types of intentions are sure to bring you some laughs and they&#8217;ll also increase your confidence in the process.</p>
<p>Finally, don&#8217;t impose any time limits on your manifestations. There are no limits to what the Universe is capable of, and it can bring you a penny just as easily as it can bring you a hundred thousand dollars. All to often it&#8217;s our own limiting beliefs that cause things to take extra time. If you believe it&#8217;s more difficult and takes longer to manifest fifty dollars compared to a penny, it will. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s best to start small and slowly increase the amounts as you feel comfortable doing so. Build up your manifesting muscles (confidence) slowly. If you go to high to fast, you&#8217;ll have doubts which will block the whole process from working for you.</p>
<p>If you try this process out, please leave a comment below to share how it&#8217;s worked out for you. I&#8217;d love to hear the cool ways that money is manifesting for you. <img src='http://www.practical-self-help.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />

<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14461971@N00/126597849"><img title="Shiny happy people" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/55/126597849_36666f8314_m.jpg" alt="Shiny happy people" width="240" height="180" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image by Donna Cymek via Flickr</p></div>
</div>
<p>I was listening to an <a title="EFT Home Page" href="http://www.emofree.com/" target="_blank">EFT</a> teleseminar early today that shared a fantastic  way to raise your vibration and attract what you want. I found this  technique to be so awesome that I wanted to share it with you so you can  try it for yourself.</p>
<p>When you hold a high vibration, the law of attraction will bring more high vibration results into your life. Like attracts like, so if you&#8217;re feeling good, you&#8217;re also attracting more good things to you. Conversely, if you&#8217;re feeling any sort of negative emotions, it means that you&#8217;re focused on what you don&#8217;t want and that low vibration will cause you to attract more of what you don&#8217;t want into your life.</p>
<p>So if you want to attract good things into your life, it&#8217;s really important to use whatever tools and methods you can to keep your vibration high!</p>
<h4>The Method To Quickly Raise Your Vibration</h4>
<p>To do this method, you&#8217;ll need a notebook or some sort of online journal like <a title="Free online journal at diary.com" href="http://www.diary.com" target="_blank">Diary.com</a>.</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve got your writing medium ready to go, start thinking back on your day and try to remember any moments in your day that felt good. It doesn&#8217;t matter if those moments only lasted a few seconds, you&#8217;re just looking for anything that felt pleasant. Even on the worst of days, we all have a least a couple of golden nugget type moments that felt good. These are the moments you&#8217;re looking for. When you think of one, write it down.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re having trouble thinking of something, I&#8217;ll give you a couple of examples from my own notes that should help to inspire you:</p>
<ul>
<li>I woke up this morning to find our entire yard covered in snow and the sight was absolutely stunning. I really appreciated the beauty that winter can bring.</li>
<li>When I logged on to check the traffic statistics on one of my websites this morning, I saw that it was up over 10% compared to the previous week. It was really exciting to see that growth.</li>
<li>At one point I went to lie down beside <a title="7 Things My Dog Taught Me About Living Life" href="http://www.practical-self-help.com/2009/11/7-things-my-dog-taught-me-about-living-life/" target="_self">my dog</a> to do some reading. As I did, she stretched out contentedly and purred almost like a cat does. Her total relaxation and pleasure in the moment gave me a real sense peace and joy myself.</li>
<li>When I went to bed last night, my stomach was feeling a little off, and when I woke up this morning, I noticed that I was feeling much better and I felt very relieved and thankful for the healing that my body experienced as I slept.</li>
</ul>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve got your list, read through the first item on your list and take a minute or two to really sink into the memory of that moment. Relive it, try to feel exactly how you felt when you were experiencing that particular event. Once you start feeling those wonderful feelings again, send out an intention that you are experiencing more and more of those types of moments and feelings in your life.</p>
<p>Go through each item on your list in this manner, each time reliving that moment with as much detail and emotion as you can. As you do, send out an intention that you are experiencing more and more of those types of moments and experiences in your life.</p>
<p>If you know how to do <a title="EFT Home Page" href="http://www.emofree.com/" target="_blank">EFT</a>, you can tap each of the meridian points as you&#8217;re reliving the moment. The tapping will help you to solidify the memory and positive feelings into your subconscious mind.</p>
<h4>You Can Also Use It To Attract Specific Things Into Your Life</h4>
<p>You can also use this method to attract specific things into your life. To do this, you need to go back through your life and remember moments when you experienced the feeling state of what you&#8217;re looking to create.</p>
<ul>
<li>To create abundance in your life, scan through your memories and recall times when you felt truly abundant and use those moments as your point of focus and intention</li>
<li>To create health in your life, scan through your memories and recall times when you felt physically great. Use those moments as your point of focus and intention</li>
<li>To improve your business or career, scan through your memories for times when you had even just small moments of success and joy in your business or career and use those as your point of focus and intention.</li>
</ul>
<p>These are just a couple of examples to explain the process. Just go back through your memories and look for positive moments that you can relate to what you want to create more of in your life. Then, use the list process noted earlier to really get into the feeling of those moments and intend for more and more of them in your life.</p>
<h4>Conclusion</h4>
<p>Often as we try to work with the law of attraction we are trying to attract things that we want. In principle this makes sense, we want the things that we don&#8217;t already have. The problem is that when we try to attract something that we don&#8217;t already have, we are often focused on the lack of it. You might not even be aware that you&#8217;re thinking about the lack of it, but it is likely happening at a subconscious level.</p>
<p>What makes this method so effective is that you are focusing on things that already exist in your life. There is no lack, you already have them, so the sabotaging subconscious thoughts just won&#8217;t hold you back. And as you focus on these wonderful things that you already have, you will cause them to expand and attract more and more of them into your life.</p>

<p>The more you practice this method, the more habitual these positive feelings will become, and your life will just keep getting better and better. So take advantage of it and make it a daily habit to remember and focus on the golden nuggets of your day.

<p>The Bible offers a lot of wisdom for living a full, happy, and successful life. Today I want to touch on what it teaches about mastering the law of attraction. In fact, it&#8217;s one Bible verse in particular that offers the key to mastering the law of attraction&#8230;</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.&#8221; </em><a title="Mark 4:25" href="http://bible.cc/mark/4-25.htm" target="_blank">Mark 4:25</a></p>
<h4>Having or Not Having is a Mindset</h4>
<p><strong>Whether you have, or have not, is a mindset, not a physical reality.</strong></p>
<p>The law of attraction does not respond to your physical reality! It always, 100% of the time, responds to your thoughts and feelings. If you think thoughts of lack, the law of attraction will bring more lack into your life. If you think thoughts of having and abundance, the law of attraction will bring more prosperity into your life.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a couple of examples&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>You can choose thoughts of lack&#8230;</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>I don&#8217;t have enough money to pay my bills.</li>
<li>I don&#8217;t have the clothes, TV, car, house, or furniture that I want.</li>
<li>I don&#8217;t have the relationship that I want.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you choose to focus on these types of things, guess what, you&#8217;re in a &#8220;have not&#8221; mindset. When you&#8217;re in a &#8220;have not&#8221; mindset, the law of attraction is going to bring more lack into your life.</p>
<p><strong>Or you can choose thoughts of having&#8230;</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>I have food to eat.</li>
<li>I have clothes to wear.</li>
<li>I have shelter over my head.</li>
<li>I have furniture to sit on.</li>
<li>I have a bed to sleep in.</li>
<li>I have friends and family that love me.</li>
</ul>
<p>When you choose to focus on what you have, the law of attraction will respond to that vibration of &#8220;having&#8221; and it will bring more people and things into your life.</p>
<h4>How To Become a Person Who &#8220;Has&#8221; So That You Will Be Given More</h4>
<p>Here&#8217;s a couple of ways that you can start turning your thoughts away from lack and toward thoughts of having and abundance.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important that you practice these things daily. Preferably many times a day.</p>
<p>The more you practice them, the sooner they will become a habitual way of thinking. And, once your thoughts are focused on &#8220;having&#8221; at least 51% of the time, you will tip the scales of the law of attraction in your favor.</p>
<h5>1. Be Thankful For What You Have</h5>
<p>Instead of focusing on what&#8217;s missing in your life, spend some time every day being thankful for what you already have.</p>
<p>I have personally found writing a daily gratitude list to be very helpful in getting me to focus on the good things that are already in my life. I started doing this a few weeks ago and already I&#8217;ve noticed that my mind is starting to look for things to be grateful for all throughout the day. It&#8217;s almost like my subconscious mind knows that I&#8217;m going to write a gratitude list at some point during the day, so it&#8217;s now helping me to accumulate a list of things to be grateful for ahead of time.</p>
<p>Try it yourself. All you need to do is spend ten or more minutes every day writing a list of things that you&#8217;re grateful for. You can use a simple notepad, or you can use a free online journal tool like <a title="Free online journal at diary.com" href="http://diary.com/" target="_blank">diary.com</a>. If you&#8217;re having trouble coming up with things to be grateful for, I&#8217;ve created a good sized list of ideas to get you started on <a title="How to Have An Abundant Life No Matter How Much Money You Have" href="http://www.practical-self-help.com/2009/12/how-to-have-an-abundant-life-no-matter-how-much-money-you-have/" target="_self">this post</a>.</p>
<h5>2. Imagine Having What You Desire</h5>
<p>You attract what you focus on, so if you focus on wanting something, you&#8217;re actually attracting more &#8220;want&#8221; into your life. You need to get into the feeling state of already having it.</p>
<p>To do this, kick back and relax somewhere quiet and comfortable. Close your eyes, and ask yourself &#8220;What would my life be like if I already had what I wanted?&#8221;. Then, use your imagination to picture what your life would be like if you did have what you wanted. This will get your thoughts and feelings focused on &#8220;having&#8221; what you desire instead of &#8220;wanting&#8221; what you desire.</p>
<p>When you feel like you already have it, you will begin to attract it.</p>
<h4>Conclusion</h4>
<p>As you start to practice focusing on &#8220;having&#8221; vs. &#8220;not having&#8221;, be patient with yourself. You&#8217;ve probably spent many years thinking your current thoughts, it might take a while to change those habits.</p>
<p>By deliberately choosing to focus your thoughts on &#8220;having&#8221; on a daily basis, you <span style="text-decoration: underline;">will</span> begin to reprogram your subconscious mind. Sometimes it takes 30 days, sometimes more. But at some point, the shift will begin to happen. When it does, watch the magic start to unfold in your life&#8230;.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;More will be given to you.&#8221; </em></p>
<p>Not only is it Universal Law, it&#8217;s a Biblical promise! <img src='http://www.practical-self-help.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The little known Universal <strong>law of vacuum</strong> can help you get what you want in life. Today I&#8217;m going to share with you how this law works so you can successfully apply it in your own life.</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t heard of the law of vacuum, don&#8217;t worry, most people haven&#8217;t. Since the movie <a title="The Secret DVD" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000K8LV1O?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=developinet-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B000K8LV1O" target="_blank">The Secret</a> came out a few years ago, it seems like everyone is solely focused on trying to master the law of attraction. However, there are many laws which govern how the Universe operates. The more of them you understand, the better you will be able to master your life.</p>
<p>Today we&#8217;re going to focus on the law of vacuum. If you can understand how this law works, you can apply it in your own life to help get what you want.</p>
<h4>What is the Law of Vacuum?</h4>
<p>What this law states is that <em>nature abhors a vacuum</em>. It will do everything it can to fill an empty space.</p>
<p>The best way to explain this is through an illustration. Imagine you go out into your yard, or a nearby field, and you clear out all the grasses and weeds in one area. If you leave that area empty, over the next few days and weeks it will quickly begin to fill in again with new weeds and grass.</p>
<p>This is the law of vacuum in action. You created a &#8216;vacuum&#8217; on the surface of the ground by clearing away all the plants that were currently residing there. Nature quickly took it&#8217;s course and started to refill that &#8216;vacuum&#8217; with new plants and weeds.</p>
<p>Nature does not like empty space. It is a law that that space must be filled in again.</p>
<p>This is the law of vacuum.</p>
<h4>How Can You Use This Law To Get What You Want?</h4>
<p>The same principles apply in your own life as they do in nature. If you create an empty space, something must eventually fill it.</p>
<p>In order to get what you want, you must create space in your life for it.</p>
<ul>
<li>If you want a new relationship, make room in your closet, garage, and home for another person to come in and fill that space with their things. And get rid of anything you&#8217;re holding onto from any past relationships you&#8217;ve had.</li>
<li>If you want new furniture, get rid of your old furniture.</li>
<li>If you want a new clothes, go through your closet and get rid of everything that you never wear anymore. This will make room for new clothes.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you know what you want, get creative and figure out how to make space for it to come into your life. Once you clear out the space, something must fill it. That&#8217;s the law of vacuum.
