I was listening to an EFT 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.

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’re feeling good, you’re also attracting more good things to you. Conversely, if you’re feeling any sort of negative emotions, it means that you’re focused on what you don’t want and that low vibration will cause you to attract more of what you don’t want into your life.

So if you want to attract good things into your life, it’s really important to use whatever tools and methods you can to keep your vibration high!

The Method To Quickly Raise Your Vibration

To do this method, you’ll need a notebook or some sort of online journal like Diary.com.

Once you’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’t matter if those moments only lasted a few seconds, you’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’re looking for. When you think of one, write it down.

If you’re having trouble thinking of something, I’ll give you a couple of examples from my own notes that should help to inspire you:

• 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.
• 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.
• At one point I went to lie down beside my dog 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.
• 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.

Once you’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.

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.

If you know how to do EFT, you can tap each of the meridian points as you’re reliving the moment. The tapping will help you to solidify the memory and positive feelings into your subconscious mind.

You Can Also Use It To Attract Specific Things Into Your Life

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’re looking to create.

• 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
• 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
• 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.

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.

Conclusion

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’t already have. The problem is that when we try to attract something that we don’t already have, we are often focused on the lack of it. You might not even be aware that you’re thinking about the lack of it, but it is likely happening at a subconscious level.

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’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.

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.

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’s one Bible verse in particular that offers the key to mastering the law of attraction…

“Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.” Mark 4:25

Having or Not Having is a Mindset

Whether you have, or have not, is a mindset, not a physical reality.

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.

Here’s a couple of examples…

You can choose thoughts of lack…

• I don’t have enough money to pay my bills.
• I don’t have the clothes, TV, car, house, or furniture that I want.
• I don’t have the relationship that I want.

If you choose to focus on these types of things, guess what, you’re in a “have not” mindset. When you’re in a “have not” mindset, the law of attraction is going to bring more lack into your life.

Or you can choose thoughts of having…

• I have food to eat.
• I have clothes to wear.
• I have shelter over my head.
• I have furniture to sit on.
• I have a bed to sleep in.
• I have friends and family that love me.

When you choose to focus on what you have, the law of attraction will respond to that vibration of “having” and it will bring more people and things into your life.

How To Become a Person Who “Has” So That You Will Be Given More

Here’s a couple of ways that you can start turning your thoughts away from lack and toward thoughts of having and abundance.

It’s important that you practice these things daily. Preferably many times a day.

The more you practice them, the sooner they will become a habitual way of thinking. And, once your thoughts are focused on “having” at least 51% of the time, you will tip the scales of the law of attraction in your favor.

1. Be Thankful For What You Have

Instead of focusing on what’s missing in your life, spend some time every day being thankful for what you already have.

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’ve noticed that my mind is starting to look for things to be grateful for all throughout the day. It’s almost like my subconscious mind knows that I’m going to write a gratitude list at some point during the day, so it’s now helping me to accumulate a list of things to be grateful for ahead of time.

Try it yourself. All you need to do is spend ten or more minutes every day writing a list of things that you’re grateful for. You can use a simple notepad, or you can use a free online journal tool like diary.com. If you’re having trouble coming up with things to be grateful for, I’ve created a good sized list of ideas to get you started on this post.

2. Imagine Having What You Desire

You attract what you focus on, so if you focus on wanting something, you’re actually attracting more “want” into your life. You need to get into the feeling state of already having it.

To do this, kick back and relax somewhere quiet and comfortable. Close your eyes, and ask yourself “What would my life be like if I already had what I wanted?”. 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 “having” what you desire instead of “wanting” what you desire.

When you feel like you already have it, you will begin to attract it.

Conclusion

As you start to practice focusing on “having” vs. “not having”, be patient with yourself. You’ve probably spent many years thinking your current thoughts, it might take a while to change those habits.

By deliberately choosing to focus your thoughts on “having” on a daily basis, you will 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….

“More will be given to you.”

Not only is it Universal Law, it’s a Biblical promise!

Zero Limits: The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace, and More is quite a mouthful as far as book titles go, but this book is definitely enlightening and could hold the key to changing your life.

You might recognize the name of one of the authors, Dr. Joe Vitale. He has written many books, articles, and created many products about success, the law of attraction, and hypnotic writing (sales copy writing). His is probably best known for his appearance in the movie The Secret and his other bestseller book, The Attractor Factor.

The other author, Dr. Hew Len, was a psychologist in a state mental hospital in Hawaii. Using the techniques taught in this book, Dr. Hew Len healed an entire ward of criminally insane people in just a couple of years.

This book shares the story of how Joe and Dr. Len met, and subsequently the many things that Joe learned from Dr. Len during their time together. Dr. Len taught Joe the same technique he used to heal all those criminally insane people, and Joe shares that technique in the book.

Without getting into to much detail, here are the two main points that Zero Limits covers:

You are 100% Responsible For Your Life

Everything that you experience in this life is created by your thoughts.

• If you are experiencing financial difficulties, it’s because you have thoughts running through you mind of poverty.
• If you are experiencing ill health, it’s because you have thoughts running through your mind of illness.
• If someone else comes into your experience and they are giving you a hard time, you brought them into your experience with your thoughts.
• Even if someone else comes into your experience and they are having a hard time with something, you are also partially responsible for their problem simply because they are within your own experience.
• Even if you read the news and you see something about a war that you do not like, you are also partially responsible for that war because it is within your experience as you read about it.

It can be a  hard pill to swallow!

The other difficulty is that you don’t even know what you’re creating. 99.99999% percent of your thoughts actually occur at a subconscious level where you aren’t even aware of them. What you create in your life is all due to thoughts and programs that keep replaying in your subconscious mind.

You Can Change Your Results In Life

It is possible to heal any negative thoughts and programs in your subconscious mind through a process called Ho’oponopono. The process is no secret (it’s all over the internet), so I’ll share it with you here.

All you need to do is simply repeat the phrase; “I love you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.”

You can say this phrase as a mantra, or prayer to the Divine, as a way of asking for Divine healing of your mind. Or you can simply say the phrase as if your speaking to the negative memories and programs in your subconscious mind. It doesn’t really matter, as long as you use the phrase consistently to facilitate constant healing of your thoughts.

However, as Dr. Len states in the book, Ho’oponopono is not a fast food approach to healing your mind and your life. It takes time and persistence to use the phrase consistently before you’ll notice that your life is beginning to change. There’s a lot of negative programming that needs to be healed. Be patient and trust that the process is working.

My Experience Reading Zero Limits

Overall, Zero Limits was a great book and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend reading it.

• It was an easy read, the language flowed nicely and the concepts were explained well. I finished it in two days.
• The concepts and techniques explained in the book were very enlightening. Some were completely new to me, and some I’ve come across before. This book laid them all out in a way that was easy to understand.
• There were plenty of examples provided of how using the Ho’oponopono technique has changed peoples lives. Being a results orientated individual, I like to hear examples of how something has worked for someone else before I jump in and do it myself.
• Instead of just being a technical book, Joe Vitale turned the book into a story of how he met Dr. Len and his own gradual learning and application of the Ho’oponopono technique is his own life.

My Results Using What The Book Teaches

Since I just finished reading Zero Limits a little over one day ago, I haven’t had enough time to give the Ho’oponopono technique a fair trial. As I mentioned earlier, Dr. Len states that it isn’t a fast food approach to changing your life. It takes time and persistence.

However, even though I haven’t seen any significant changes in my “external” experience of life yet, I have already noticed that I’m feeling more peaceful and calm in general. Especially when I’m repeating the “I love you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.” mantra. So even without the external evidence, the increased sense of peace is enough to encourage me to keep going with it.

Recommendation

This book is different from most of the “me too” books that teach about how to change your life. The main points I outlined above only scratch the surface of everything that it talks about. It’s worth taking the time to read through this one to get a better understanding of how the Ho’oponopono process works, and the principles it’s based on.

4 out of 5 stars.

If you followed the instructions in the last post in this series, you are already clear about what you want your life to be like. Now you’re ready for the next step…

Getting your thoughts and feelings aligned with what you want to create.

Why You Need To Have Your Thoughts And Feelings Aligned With Your Goals

First, Your Thoughts And Feelings Affect Your Actions

How much effort do you think you will make toward achieving a goal if you don’t believe you can realistically achieve it? You will probably not even bother starting, or else you will give up at the first sign of difficulty. Why make the effort if it’s really not possible right?

However, if you really believe that your goals can become reality, your motivation to take action and succeed will skyrocket.

By training your mind, you can actually start believing in yourself and your ability to achieve your goals. When this happens, your motivation to take action and persevere until your goals become reality will skyrocket.

Second, Your Thoughts And Feelings Help Program Your Subconscious Mind

Your subconscious mind likes consistency. It will do everything it can to keep things in your life the same.

Over the years, you may have noticed repeated scenarios in your life. Your income will generally stay the same, you often end up having similar relationship experiences, you experience the same types of failures over and over again. This is your subconscious mind at work.

If things in your life ever start varying from the norm, your subconscious brain can’t tolerate it. It will actually work against your best efforts to make positive changes in your life. This is why smokers have a hard time quitting, people who lose weight usually gain it all back, and why lottery winners often end up just as broke as they were before winning within a few years.

Thankfully, this can also be used to your advantage. Your subconscious mind can’t tell the difference between something that is real and something that is imagined. So if you spend enough time imagining a new reality for yourself, your subconscious will begin to believe that this imagined reality is the way things are actually supposed to be. It will actually aid you in making your imagined reality come true.

Third, Your Thoughts and Feelings Are What Activate The Law of Attraction

The law of attraction states that like attracts like, but what exactly does this have to do with your thoughts and feelings?

The images your hold in your mind will attract similar images into your reality. So if you regularly hold mental images of you having achieved your goals, the law of attraction will kick in and start working to make those mental images come true.

The feelings you have are also have an attraction force to them. In fact, many people argue that your feelings have much more attraction power than mental images.

If you feel successful, you will tend to attract more success into your life. If you feel wealthy, you will tend to attract more wealth. If you feel worried, you will tend to attract more situations that will cause you to worry.

How To Get Your Thoughts And Feelings Aligned With Your Goals

Visualization

The most effective way to get your thoughts and feelings aligned with your goals is to use visualization.

Spend time every day imagining that your goal(s) are already a reality in your life. Use a first person perspective (looking through your own eyes) so it’s like you are right there experiencing everything first hand.

• What is going on around you?
• What does your life look like?
• Who is there with you?
• Imagine those people congratulating you.
• Imagine yourself celebrating your success with your friends and loved ones.

Make it all as detailed as possible so that it not only looks real, but it feels real too. These feelings can really ramp up your attraction power.

• Feel grateful for your success.
• Feel excited about your success.
• Feel grateful for how easy it was to achieve.
• If your goal is related to relationships, enjoy the new feelings of friendship or love.
• If your goal is related to money, enjoy the feelings of being wealthy and being able to afford whatever you want to buy.

Index Cards

Write down each goal you have on a separate index card.

Read through these cards several times a day to reinforce your visualizations. Reading through them will tend to bring up the images and feelings that you use during your visualizations. This will help to further reinforce the mental reprogramming that you’re doing.

Make it a Daily Practice

It typically takes about 30 days to start shifting the thought processes of your subconscious mind. This is why it’s important to make sure that you visualize for 20 minutes every day, for at least 30 days straight.

If you ever miss a day, you will need to start your count over.

After that, it’s good a good idea to keep up the daily habit as it will continue to reinforce your mind with images of your success. Not only will it will help you to keep focused and motivated as you take action, but it will also continue to activate the law of attraction in your favor.
