Free Law of Attraction Resources And Tips

I've been applying the Law of Attraction in my business dealings for a few years now (5 to be exact) and would like to share a few tips for small business owners and entrepreneurs.

Start With The End In Mind

What this means in practice is before you go to an event you should decide what outcome would represent a successful event for you?

If you are in the startup phase you may be desperate to find customers but would you build your business more effectively long term by looking for "Advocates" rather than customers...

The equivalent Search Engine Optimisation process is building backlinks. In exchange for advocating another business they will advocate your business. You should both get good quality referrals from the process and each business grows.

To develop a good referral network is one of the skills you will require to grow your business.

Attracting Good Contacts at Networking Events

What I have been doing for years now is sitting down for ten minutes before I enter a venue and visualising a positive outcome,whether that outcome is collecting business cards from potential clients or building a good relationsship with somebody to generate referrals in both directions.This kind of "mental Rehersal" can clarify what it is you consider to be a successful outcome and make it more likely that you will spot the person you are looking for.

It takes a bit of practice but it is possible to quickly "tune into" the activity and energy of a venue and work out where a particular type of person is likely to stand or which group a particular character will cluster around. If you know the characteristics of a particular group then it is likely that others with the same characteristics will be "aAttracted" into that group

 As I mentioned in my earlier post, I've been using the principles behind the law of attraction for many years,in fact since before the secret was published and the ideas became popular again.

The origins  of the principle lie in the ancient wisdom passed down by various religions and schools of philosophy that "Thoughts are Things" and should be treated seriously. In my experience it is when you begin to take control of your thoughts and emotions that you begin to navigate through life more successfully.

I spent some time studying meditation techniques (particularly those of buddhist origin but also new age,eighteenth century magic techniques and other traditions such as daoism) and applying the principles to the whole of my life to see what results might be generated.

The most noticable change when I began to meditate was a change in my underlying mood, which went from serious to slightly less serious and lighter. My life became more under my own control and less subject to the chance meetings and occourances which had dominated until that point in time. My genral stress level also lessened.

The idea that 15 minutes or 30 minutes of quet contemplation might change the course of your life is not an easy thing to get across in words because it is the emotional volativity that is being reduced  and then things begin to move in a positive direction,slowly and carefully as you plan more effectively,develop systems to make sure things are going to plan and adapt to prevailing economic comditions.

As a real world example I want to describe the process by which I found and moved into my current flat.

A couple of years ago I moved in with my parents and began working in a call centre in Darlington, in the north of england. One of the people I was working with at that centre also did some UFC mixed martial arts fighting as a sideline. This sparked my interest in mixed martial arts. About six months later I moved to Gateshead and needed a flat.Whilst working in a call centre in gateshead I had a conversation with one of my collegues who had a spare room.

His flatmate turns out to be a big UFC and mixed martial arts fighting fan and the room available is at about half of the local market rate. I was initially commuting to Gateshead from Bishop Auckland and had picked out an area of a street that I wanted to live close to. The room I was offered is exactly in the position on the street which I had selected and there is a mixed martial arts connection plus its cheap. This meets my criteria pretty much exactly.

 Reinforcing the positive does not mean living in cloud cuckoo land where everything is good, this is the real world and some things are definitely not good, other things can be positive in small doses and dangerous in large doses. Keep a balance in how you approach obstacles and you will be able to overcome them by research and application. Obstacles cannot be wished away by visualisation without the action required on the physical level and the desire to succeed.

 Building upon the idea that we become what we think about most often, it is clear that religious contemplation or meditation is an application of this process of attraction. Meditation on the positive qualities of the buddha will generate a desire to have those qualities ourselves, an awareness of the way in which the Buddha thought about things will generate a desire within us to think in the same clear way.The same can be said of christian contemplation on the qualities of Jesus, and the way in which he thought and acted.

It is much more likely that you will achieve the goal of improving by 1% than improving by 1000%. So improve a thousand things by 1% and you have achieved the overall goal, which look impossible from the outside.

The abraham-Hicks material defines the law of attraction as a subset of the law of vibration.For practical day to day purposes I would like to define personal vibration as a combination of dominant thoughts,emotions,verbal and non verbal communication,and actions and feedback from the physical environment.

This includes the intent behind action as part of the definition and also the response of the environment.

What is the difference between the following two examples:

1)focus on tools which change emotional state.

2)Focus on applying/testing one tool to change my emotional state and assessing the results obtained.

Example one is the research phase and example two is the application phase.

As I write this piece I'm approaching my 44th birthday (2 days time) and several positive things have been attracted into my life to coincide with this event.

I've had a couple of misunderstandings and examples of my own and other peoples miscommunication to deal with this week (being paid less than my normal hourly rate due to a typing error being the most significant). I've been given the opportunity to practice changing my emotional state from anger and frustration back to optimism.

Last night I set off into town in the full expectation of going to see a pink floyd tribute band and was disapointed to find that I'd mixed up my dates and was a week late for the concert.

The evening turned out to be much better than I expected as I went for a beer at a bar around the corner and a few minutes later was in conversation with a psychotherapist (sitting at the bar next to me). The conversation ended a couple of hours later when he left to meet friends fronm a train but I have to say that it was a very enjoyable conversation and we will be continuing to share experience at a later date over coffee.

The conversation was about how thoughts can attract things into your life(people, events, situations) and the fact that it happened randomly at a bar I would not have been in if I'd had the correct date for the gig I was going to just shows that the universe knows what is required.

In astrology my birthday is referred to as a "Solar Return" I suspect that the timing may be due to the fact that I have been putting a lot of thought into previous relationships and conversations I've had and am focussed on myself completely this weekend.
