Day 8: Why Conduct an Experiment?

The “Law of Attraction.” The “Power of Intention.” “Deliberate Creation.”

Are these things that we are supposed to take on blind faith?

In the best of situations, my personal conviction that Universal Laws run the show and that we can harness these laws to become more magnetic to our good “rubs off” on my students and clients.

But, as we mentioned at the outset of this experiment, one’s ability to trust in all of this, when it becomes challenging to hold on faith alone, is impacted by the quality of one’s own personal life experience.

The reason we are approaching this next month as an “experiment” is that we want you to obtain objective proof that this works.

With objective proof as your anchor you’ll be far more likely to hold a steadfast course as you move ahead on your Deliberate Creator path.

As anyone who has heard me speak or who has read my story on my web site knows, the “experimental” approach is the key to my success.

In 1999, when I was first introduced to the Abraham Science of Deliberate Creation materials, I was strongly attracted — and equally resistant.

I remember feeling that Abraham’s message was so clear and so practical anyone could use it. While, at the same time, I felt I would be flaky, ‘woo-woo’ or ‘new-agey’ if I really bought into this stuff.

Having a background in Experimental Psychology from Franklin & Marshall College served me well. I decided that a rigorous experimental approach was in order.

In December of 1999 I chose three significant things that I wanted very much but did not currently have and, for the next 15 weeks, I followed the Abraham principles like a recipe.

By April, 2000, all three deliberate creations had come to pass. (For details: http://www.choosingprosperity.com/mystory3.htm)

But, when it comes right down to it, my stories are only useful if they serve as a catalyst – intriguing you enough to set you on a course to prove that these same laws are in effect in your own life.

Inspired Action for Day 8: Progressive Affirmation for Trust

Progressive Affirmation: The law of attraction supports me in practical ways.

To internalize this truth, repeat each stage numerous times daily until you feel at one with (no resistance to) the statement.

1) It would be wonderful to believe that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
2) I am open to imagining that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
3) I am beginning to have faith that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
4) The law of attraction supports me in practical ways.

I trust and Know witout question that ENERGY (NRG) is the force that connects the entire universe. I know & trust that everything emmits NRG and is responsive to NRG. Therefore, if I produce the higher vibrational frequencies associated with gratitude, peace, serenity and prosperity (as I define it) those frequencies will respond to matter in the universe of the same vibrational frequency. The more I concentrate, meditate and duplicate those thought frequencies, the closer to manifestations those objects attract to me and appear.

This has worked over the last 2 1/2 years (since Oct 2005) after I first saw, met and practiced “Abraham-Hicks” teachings. I’ve changed careers, attracted the most peaceful personalities into my life, and attracted clear signals to help me make choices. I’ve never -in this life- been more at peace, inspired at work or grateful for a new day to emmit positive NRG.

ok then…! i am open to believing that the LOA supports me in practical ways and i’m waiting and expecting for surprising new practical things to happen. I open myself today to these new possibilities with a sense of fun. I particular want help in improving my magic act in the very short term for this weekend.

I do trust the law of attraction. Since I was a child, I have found that when I intently focus on something I want in my life, get very specific, and move my feet (meaning: do what needs to be done), I find that things I want just fall easily into place.

What this experiment is making me see is how little I really let my desires be the focus of my attention. What I find I’ve been focusing on is what I don’t want, ergo, more of the same continues to appear.

I am delighted to be doing this experiment with so many other light souls, and trust that, by the end of these 30 days, I will have received a huge amount of unexpected income through play and flow and will have received clear signals regarding my next steps in my career and my true calling.

Why conduct an experiment:We have forgotten our connection to the universe and all that is in it. Our lives have been bombarded with all sorts of belief systems, positive as well as negative mostly negative. This experiment will bring me back to my true self, a being of light who has overcome darkness. This experiment will help me to trust and gain the faith to be supported by the Universe, All-Knowing Divine BeingThe Alpha and Omega because i’m a part of the Omniscient One ( I just have to do a little internal cleaning, maybe a lot…LOL). The more I focus the more empowered I become. It’s like a toddler who is learning to walk, they keep on trying no matter how many times they fall more determine each time they get up. Each new days brings me new energy, new strength, new faith, new happiness, new knowledge and closer and closer to a completely prosperous life.
“And whatever you ask in my name, that I will do…” I must believe without a doubt.

I want the Universe to yield unto me undeniable proof that when I work the laws through ‘play’ that it will manifest my desires time after time after time. I desire to trust the Universe unequivocally. My desire is to know that I know that I know that my needs are always met.

When I was younger – I believed!
I knew what I wanted and I went for it – I believed!
There was no doubt or fear in my mind that I could achieve or obtain what ever it was that I wanted – I believed!
The world was my oyster – I believed!
Then, something happened, life and death happened – I lost that way of thinking – I wanted to believe…but I lost that knowing…I still believed…but things didn’t work out like I had hoped…
I do so want that strength, that knowing, that connection back – I believe!
I believe in the way and in the Law of Attraction!
And, so, an experiement…proof once again in the knowing, trusting, and believing – I believe!
Will that proof that we all seek strenghten my belief? Most definitely!
This group has the energy to strengthen all of us and soon we will all know, we will all trust, and we will all believe because – we all believe in the Law of Attraction!

The Law of Attraction works whether we believe in it or, that is the beauty of it. I trust myself to get out of my own way and allow the floodgates to open.

By doing this experiment I will strengthen my belief in the law of attraction and turnoff the bombardment from the media on what is happening to others around me. I know I am able to draw the abundance to me.

My trust in the power of the law of attraction is unyielding. Even at times when I feel like giving up, when nothing seems to be working, that is just my resistance and lowest ebb, breaking down for me to realign with my truest way of living I belive wholeheatedly that just by participating in the 30 day experiment, every day, without missing one day, that I am attracting tangible results, even if I don’t yet see them. Three things I intend to produce in the next htirty days are to own my own home – opportunities are plentiful! Next I will be in integrity with those who have been generous with me during my time of financial stress – my committment to pay them back with a schedule, and lastly to design a trip to visit my daughter and other family overseas. During the “experiment” the resources for all of these things will produce themselves for me to take action that creates the results I want. At the same time, “nay sayers” are around every corner – don’t get sucked into the vortex of negative thinking ans speaking!! Thank you Elyse for this unique opportunity for prosperity through commitment and sharing.

I believe the Universe supports me in my intentions at all times. Even when I am into a state of resistance, then that is what will be mirrored back to me. However, I intend to keep my focus on allowing, so that my prosperity can flow into my world just as fast as I am allowing. As Anita and Ivette have said above, trusting yourself, getting out of the way and allowing the floodgates to open are the way to go. And, like Anita I would like to say, thank you Elyse for this unique opportunity for prosperity through commitment and sharing. It has already begun!

Thank You Mother/Father for my LIFE! Today I am actually living my life! Not waiting for that elusive someday, when my life will really begin. This is it! Today I am grateful for so much! My eyesight and my VISION! My relationships with so many beloveds! My ever-forgiving Higher Self, who reminds me there is nothing to forgive. I am not too late! Now is the PERFECT TIME!
Last night as I arrived home from a beautiful evening with my daughters and Goddaughter, my housemate informed me that she would like me to list her property for sale. (I have a real estate license, but am not actively working in real estate.) We already have a potential buyer; the minimum I will make from helping her do this sale is about 4,000, the potential maximum I will make is 20,000 or more! The property is worth over a million. I also had another friend call and ask me to relist his incredible piece of raw land with a DNR registered trout stream, old growth forest, and granite rock walls, absolutely stunning property, (a web site I created when I had this property listed last year http://www.pinecreekestates.com), it is worth around 1 million as well! I am doing the prosperity game and having such fun spending large amounts of virtual money! The only rule is that I enjoy myself! I am also a singer/musician, and my voice is opening back up to the Voice for God that I am blessed with! I am so blessed!!

Here are the areas of focus I intend to fully manifest into being in my life.

1. Multiply my annual income by 20 times.
2. Develop community of friends, family, and colleagues that enrich my life journey.
3. Attract an ideal partner in terms of intimacy, spirituality, personal interests, and global commitment
4. Improve my health and weight through exercise and healthy eating habits.

I feel almost like two personalities. The one is clear on deliberate creation. Sees it and feels it. The peace and calm of aligned vibrations is an experience that is real. And there there is some other piece of me that argues for some practical “realistic” behavior. I observe these two sides. I am full of gratitude and hope and at the same time full of resistance! And yet the power of gratitude and joy is far greater. That is what I experience. Today, I declare that it would be wonderful to feel the law of attraction supporting me today. It would be wonderful to experience that support in tangible ways. Today I will create three specific things that I want that I currently do not have. And then PLAY!

I have just received an offer from someone who wants to sponsor my blog and is willing to pay me $115 a year for it. Talk about money coming from someplace I would not have ever thought about!!! How much fun is that?

I am trusting the Universe to bring me the equivalent of the income that 10 outcalls a week would provide ($1000). I am also trusting that the money will comein ways that I have yet to imagine and that I will not feel as though I am working for it.

Law of attraction has brought so many wonderful experiences and new and wonderful people into my life in the past few months. This is my ‘evidence’.

I have already learned that LOA indeed works if I can get out of the way – I went from no income to six figures in 3 years, dream car, dream house and a life of great ease in that time. I know that once I expose and release all of the beliefs which are currently blocking me, I will manifest the relationship I so desire and other visions for the world. I’ve seen much positive change since I’ve been actively working the program!

I watch daily for evidence and expect it to arrive. Yesterday, after being thankful that life (essence) is flowing into the world (content) through me, I had a very productive and enjoyable day. The hours passed effortlessly and I felt energy flowing into all that I did. At this time, I am uncovering a new internet business through some very sophisticated technology internet tools and one of the areas turns out to be related to gratitude in content. This realization came to me while I was jogging through a forest near my house.

A valuable realization came to also this morning as I was on the phone with a PC technician for 3 hours. Experiencing each moment (whether you call it good or bad) is a way into uncovering the reality of who I am. From that place all flows easily. At any one time, STOP and take inventory of what has seized you and experience fully and accept it as what is and then you’ve transcended into a place of true power.

I trust the LOA implicitly…. my personal challenge is to move out of resistance…. what I resist, persists…. and I’ve been resisting (fearing) challenging circumstances, so of course they keep coming round again and again, interspersed with short periods of wildly wonderful abundance!

A relatively new experience for me is finding that I can be at peace even when my external circumstances appear chaotic and perilous!

I got through the very worst of times by constantly reminding myself that, just in this moment, everything is OK, I am safe, I am fed, clothed, sheltered and cared about…

I survived emotionally literally moment by moment….

And found gratitude in those moments …

As well as realisations that changed my life and those of my family and a knowing that the challenges were perhaps the only way to bring about profound understanding and change that impacts 7 generations of my family into the past and 7 generations into the future….

And I’ve been extending those moments of being at peace in the NOW out further and further….

My belief is that we are all the Creative Life Force, we truly all are GOD…. under the holographic principle, the sum of the whole is contained in each of the parts. If one accepts that there is a Divine Life Force that created all there is, (the sum of the whole), then we as its creations are also IT… that means we are each totally capable of and totally responsible for creating our own realities as we wish them to be….

As we are GOD, the Universe is compelled to respond to us by giving us what we desire…. the question for me is what do I allow to interfere with manifesting what I desire – what are the mixed messages I send out? What is the belief deep within me that gets in the way of bringing into being all the ‘good’ things I say I want?

As I think, so it is…. my beliefs create my reality!

I feel this moment/period in my life is my last challenge/hurdle/test before graduation as a Master of Conscious Creation….

at first I feel sad because when I look at my life I have to accept that all the hurt I created myself.. I have to forgive myself for it.. I didn’t know better, how could I…?
the good thing is that everyting can start NOW..
then I see also the good things I díd create without being consious but with a feeling of ‘there must be more to life then work-sleep-work..’
I was right, there is more (this inside I had when I was 18 years and it never left me)
when I think about wanting to trust.. it is a NEED for me..
I need to trust that there is more to it, I need to trust that there is a reason, a cooperation between me and the universe, I need to trust that larger part of me
I can’t breath without that thought..
but it is only now, (after 35 years) my instinct is put into words, feelings and tools..,
the law off attraction, a universe in action..
trust is more a knowing of my hart..

with love from Paulien

Oh my goodness – this is such joyous fun! I don’t want to believe. I don’t want to trust – I want to know! It’s funny, because I’ll have to admit, there are days when I realize that I’ve been studying the principles of LOA via Jerry and Esther for a very long time (early nineties). Like you’d think I’d have “gotten it” by now. LOL! ?

SO, I think that by now I would know it (totally and completely). And on one hand many days I feel solid in my belief. On the other hand I have SO much more to learn about staying in the moment and mostly learn about being light and having fun with all of this. You are well aware that I can be a bit type A and go down that other road…you know the one, the one that is less than light and fun! SO, I want more “proof”! Absolute, spine tingling proof!

I am grateful for all I have created. I mean, when I realize that I did go from taking eighteen months off from work (therefore having zero income) to making a solid six figures each year for four years running (I would have never even dreamed it, expect that it was in a prosperity mantra I made up) And we did build and move into a fabulous ridge top home. I do take amazing vacations; I have an abundance of friends, family, and a loving partner.

Yet, what is missing and what I am looking for is ease. I am looking for more laughter. I am looking for fun. I am looking for lightness. I want to belly laugh more. I am looking for time. Time to relax. Time to play. Time to be inspired and to inspire. I am not sure how to have “proof” of that.

So, maybe dear sweet Universe, you could send me something simple, unexpected and obscure. Something like that old story of Esther’s “blue glass”. Let’s say balloons! That’s easy – and I have no resistance on it. Send me balloons – whatever that means!

I am grateful and so excited to be moving forth on this journey of love, light and laughter! Let’s see what this day of this grand experiment brings! Thank you all.

Ivette, you are so right on task with the simplicity of your comment: “The Law of Attraction works whether we believe in it or not…”. That holds true for all of the Perfect Universal Laws. Throughout history, we can read testimony to the barage of brilliant believers, visionaries and inventors who held a “due north” position over countless unseen truths. Galileo Galilei said that “All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.” Everything that exists is managed by the powerful Law of Attraction!

I began my journey with hopeful expectation that this Law could support me in my daily activities. I have traveled from 0 to position 3 on the belief scale. I am ready to race past the 4 spot and my resolve to join this experiment is an integral part of this leg of my journey. My heartfelt Thank You Elyse for providing me with the perfect venue to give “scientific” evidence to the existence of the Law. I may not understand it, but I definitely believe it exists!

Yes, I trust the universe! I have been getting signs, miracles, and epiphanies of late. I know that all comes from trust and faith.

I’ve had an insomnia issue on and off for the past six years. I would wake up at 3:30am with a mind full of worries. Everything whirling through my head. Then, of course, it was hard to get back to sleep (sometimes not at all). So, just this morning, I realized I’ve been setting up my day with a “Prayer” of worries! Abraham says if you are worrying, you are putting out a prayer of worries. So, I was caught in a pertetual cycle of dismal worries and depression – and that would take me into my morning, and into my entire day. It was like living in a fog.

But now, I am turning it around. I still awaken early, however I did some breathing exercises and ran my affirmations in my head. Low and behold, I fell back asleep. I’ve had two nights of 7 hours sleep – Eureka! I feel better already. It makes such a difference, and my head is so much clearer. I’m happier too!

So, I’ll keep doing my Polarity Turn Around and I know I’ll be the joyful, creative woman I really am.

Namaste,
Starra : )

I have given myself a challenge for this experiement. My teeth need to be replaced and today I went to an appointment with a oral surgeon who will replace my worn out teeth with permanent dental implants.

I was told that I am a “perfect candidate” for this procedure and I am excited to get it done. The cost is about $40,000 and when I heard that I just knew I will create this. Even when my first application for financing was declined, I still had that positive feeling that I will create this. The money will come in and I will have beautiful, new, permanent teeth.

I have had this feeling before regarding something I wanted that seemed like a big stretch for me to create – this positive, I can do this, I WILL do this feeling – and I created what I wanted. This is no different.

Watch me and know that this works!

I am looking to experience more ‘knowing’. I believe – Yes! I get that in the past I was probably right at the edge of manifesting and then dropped whatever ‘it’ was, never fulfilling the focused desire. Hence, thinking I couldn’t ‘trust’. Now I’m in for the long haul to show myself how Allowing feels more and more every day. It’s the Allowing that I want to experience more and more. Allowing more Love in everyday. Allowing more vision in everyday. Allowing more joy in everyday. Allowing more laughter in everyday! Allowing more acceptance in everyday. Allowing, Allowing, Allowing! I think I’m getting it! What I’ve been praying for is really Allowing my Soul-Self, my Higher Self, to integrate with more for greater Knowing and Flowing! Whoo-hoo! That’s cool! Allowing/Flowing/Knowing… that feels good!

1) It would be wonderful to believe that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
2) I am open to imagining that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
3) I am beginning to have faith that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
4) The law of attraction supports me in practical ways.

I want to trust these statements without irony, without *yeah right*, without doubt, but all with true knowledge through experience. I’ll read them over and over today, hoping that it sinks in, builds trust, and becomes part of my belief system in positive ways.

Intention/promis is I believe almost everything to make a wish come true. this experiment helps us to be intentional. laws are always in action. many mireacles accidentally happen mastery is to be able to manage it. especially for more extraverted types as myself! :) sharing and accouintability – the experiment- increases the probability of being intentionally focused!
thanks

I know this law works, and it comes more naturally to some. Some people are constantly applying the principles of The Law of Attraction with great success without knowing they are doing it. The thing that holds many of us back from self actualizing is Fear; Little fears that are completely unnecessary and work to sabotage our goals. Therefore, recognizing those fears and plowing through them is the key for me. They are usually learned in childhood and have a way of blocking us from our true potential. Today is a great day to become aware of those blocks and allow them to dissolve forever. I pledge to feel the fear and do it anyway!

Just reading the comments daily from all of you, makes my heart sing. It is such a gift to be immersed in a group like this. Thank you all for being so total. And thank you Elyse for gifting us with this precious opportunity.

How much do I want to ”trust” the law of attraction?

My trust is 100%. I KNOW that it works.
I am experiencing the results of this universal law every day.

Most important for me is to STAY in alignment with my joy, love, enthusiasm and exuberance. When I am in this state of alignment, all things which contain those vibrations, or similar ones, are flooding in.

What helps me most to stay in alignment is:
(I am sharing this to renew my commitment to those activities)

My daily meditation
Daily Prosperity Game
Sharing my insights daily on this blog
My daily gratefulness journaling

(I am writing down 10 things I am grateful for now,
and 10 things I would love to experience more of in my life,
which are not yet manifested.
I give my gratitude for those things in advance)

I’ve noticed that in this way, I really get excited and let the energies of creation, or “non-manifest” rush through me. That in itself is delicious and feels complete.

I am grateful to be part of this community.
Every single one of you helps me so very much to stay on my path.
Sending you all my sincere appreciation for who you are!

Today I received a cheque from a networking business that I don’t practice any more. It wasn’t big but I was so surprised and happy because it was totally unexpected.

The yesterday and today I managed to reach my target in number of meetings I had to book before the weekend, which is unusual.

Yesterday I had a really enlightening meeting with a friend I hadn’t seen for almost a year!

The least I can say is that my experiment has started pretty well :-)

i know that this works i have had some amazing evidence that if i simply clear my resistance in whatever form it comes and keep my focus on my desires and really feeeeel the essences of what im experiencing in my visions, not only do i get sweet inspiration and expanded visions, the universe brings me the sweetest gifts in a form which always amazes me and puts a smile on my face, cos it is so obviously a miracle just for me.

and so do i want to trust the LOA? yes! do i still have doubts? yes, as there are habitual lower vibrational places in me that i return to like a homing pidgeon. but heres where this experiment is important to me – i am committed to releasing these habitual lower vibrational states and to moving and sustaining my being in higher states where joy, trust and expanded vision are all my regular ways of living my life. and this is what is exciting and a huge adventure for me!
prosperity, lifeforce, light and love flowing through every cell of my being and flowing out into the world and to everyone on this experiment!

Ivette’s comment on that the LOA works whether we believe it or not made me laugh as I realized that everything I have in this moment I created. So of course LOA works! I just have to change my thinking to what I want instead of thinking I can’t have what I want!

I created the loss of my job because deep down I wasn’t happy with it and was sacrificing my integrity so it had to go!

My living room is not painted a color I like because I keep telling myself I don’t know what color I like, so I just keep getting “I don’t know what color I like.”

I haven’t gone on that desired vacation to see New York because I keep telling myself “how am I going to get to New York, I don’t have enough money, the kids are in school, Mike can’t leave his job, blah blah blah.” So I keep getting more of “I can’t go to New York.”

And on and on it goes!

So why an experiment? Well of course, to remind me that LOA is always at work in my life and to start looking at the good so more good can come in instead of looking at the bad otherwise the bad just keeps on coming!

So, yesterday I asked the universe for proof that LOA works, and I just got it. I feel like laughing. Yes, the LOA supports me in practical ways. If it shows up, I created it!

I am completely capable of choosing a color to paint the downstairs of my house. I am compeltely capable of choosing my career path. I am compeltely capable of allowing in the good, I certainly have let in the bad!

So fabulous Universe, I want to choose where to go with my career right now. What am I here to offer the world!!!??? What is my heart wanting to do?? I want to know my talents and skills and find what is fun and enjoyable for me. I want to LOVE what I do. So show me or help me find what is in my heart! Thanks!

And thanks Elyse for following your heart. When we all follow our hearts we bring blessings to others through doing what we love. If the everyone in the world would do what they love and know they will be rewarded, the world would be an amazing place!!!

As I jump into my new and exciting venture I hold my trust in the LOA in the front of my heart and mind. When ‘things’ get to me and I notice I am holding old patterns of fear and lack, I allow myself forgiveness without blame and move downstream remembering my trust in the Universe, in God, Goddess, All that Is and LOA. With this support I am learning to allow more and more. With this support I KNOW in my heart that the life I envision I am already living in the unmanifest and as I allow more and more, day by day, the unmanifest will become manifest – And so it is.

love, light & laughter!
Julie

I do trust the Law of Attraction. It works. Three times in my life I have intensely focused on a desired result. I have felt it. I have known the exact instant the Universe handed it to me. Two of the things were one in a million things, things that never happen unless they’re in a movie. They both happened. Within 24 hours. So did the third thing although it took a bit longer and was in a slightly different form than I’d hoped for.
I need to find that place again. I know this experiment will help. I just need to get my doubting mind out of the way.

i trust the LOA. i expect to it flowing positively in my life in imagine and unimagined. right now i am unemployed with no income yesterday someone gave me 210. from totally unexpected source, though i need a great deal more i have thoughts that are much more positive about my situation since i started with this sight. I expect to be prosperous. I am willing and able to accept prosperity in all aspects of my life

As a child I did not have to believe in LoA it was innate. I am ready for it to be that way again. I know it will be, I just needto let go of the ever so slight resistance.

I want to believe! I want to believe! I want to believe!

I have been reading +++ about the LOA over the past year. I had never heard of it prior to this time! Since then, I have experienced evidence to support the statement, “when the students are ready, the teacher appears.” I’m amazed at the progression of teachers who have entered my life over this past year — it’s truly beautiful and perfection in action!

That said, “Words don’t teach; life experience teaches.” — Abraham

It’s time for me to internalize LOA teachings and bring it to life.

Bring it on!

I want to thank you all for sharing your journeys here. I have experienced my emotions/mood rising higher and higher as I read each and every one of your entries. I am blessed to have access to such Beings of Light to help uplift my soul! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

When you align yourself with prosperity the vibration changes for sure.
It has for me each time. I brought to my world an apartment, furnishings, a car, and a new job by allowing and believing.
I again reinforce my belief that prosperity is for me, I have many things that
I want manifested. It has a ripple effect for all of us. Now we are housecleaning with the door open……..HO YAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I’m getting a little late start with this, but it’s perfect timing as I am feeling very challenged this week. I have attracted this opportunity to me! I have been an amazing Deliberate Creator for the past few years, so easy in so many ways, yet now I hear myself saying, “well, if this really works, then it works for EVERYTHING!” I have been bringing in so much money every month, it’s mind boggling, but now I’ve started in a downward spiral and it’s generating fear…that’s new for me. So, my goals are 1. The Universe will show me clear evidence that prosperity abounds all around me. 2. I will attract to me only those who align with the positive feelings that Prosperity brings. 3. Money will find me easily and in very unexpected ways and reaffirm my belief in my creative power! Amen!

hehe. When I play and pretend ( I am really good at pretending ) something is not important, I usually get my results. But when the little girl in me is holding her breath and praying very hard … yup …

I so desire to trust that the LOA is on my side *even* when it is something that is very meaningful and cherished by that little girl inside me — the one with the big eyes and singing heart and has -always- believed in magic; and still does… still does… just waiting for the moment when it all comes to life.

I Love you. Thank You.

The law of attraction supports me in practical ways. I lost my job back in June, been on unemployment since then. I ask the universe for the perfect job – how much, what kind and the days off that I wanted. I made a mistake – unemployment doesn’t pay much, so i took the first thing that came up – money was there – still in customer service, not exactly in food industry, but I compromised, becuase the money,and I would eventually get the days off I wanted. I HATED IT. I started looking again and there it was the perfect job. The ad read: Looking for a FOH Manager, Tues-Sat (wow Sun-Mon Off perfect). I sent my resume, the man knew an old boss of mind, I was hired the next day. the pay is great the days are fantastic. It is my perfect job that I was asking for. I know now that the universe will provide in due time, not my time. So now I say ” THE LAW OF ATTRACTION SUPPORTS ME IN PRACTICAL WAYS!”

— so I will play more with that little girl; turning it to a fun game — and letting go of all the fear :o D — Boy; what a ride we are in for! Yeeeha!!

I remember a time when I lived with total trust, not knowing anything about the LOA or deliberate creation and everything just fell into place naturally. The funny thing is I was not consciously aware that I trusting that they would.
The last big example was at age 36 when as a single mom I began thinking of moving to the US. I decided to bring my four children on a six-week vacation to see if they would like it before making the decision. I did not have anywhere near the money it would take but I went ahead and made the reservations and started planning. It NEVER occured to me that it might not happen!
Needless to say, I received a check (for $8,000.) that I did not expect for another six months. My sister said to me, “You are so lucky!” My response was, ” Nothing to do with luck, this money is mine. It just came earlier because I needed it.” ………. and, when migrating I was able to retire from teaching and recieve a full year’s salary! A loop-hole I did not know about when I made my decision. So I not only had money for the vacation, I had enough to make our move a smooth transition.
Somewhere along the way I lost some of that. I have trust that I will always be taken care of, but when I think of doing or getting anything, my first thought is, “How am I going to pay for this, I can’t afford it.” And I begin to worry about the ‘how’. I have to release that need to know how.
Along with this experiment I paly a little game when I feel resistance. I play the “Remember when …………….. ?” game, replacing the resistance with all the delicious feelings associated with the memory.

I want to trust the Law of Attraction totally and without resistance just like I did before.

I am definitely ready to trust the LOA in my life. It is so clear that the only thing in my way is me. Changing the age old commentary of looking at what is not in my life instead of seeing all the amazing things that are there and that I HAVE manifested, is my focus. Even the idea of work is changing. I don’t have to suffer to receive – what is up with that notion anyways? – I can be all that I am including creative and playful and that I can see, will work to attract more of that. Its all so simple when you break it down yet how long did it take and how many roads traveled to see the simplicity. Not to worry, I am not dwelling on the how or why I am inviting the positive and the gentle and the pleasant and the pleasure as well as the practical and the neccessary on this journey. I know the LOA works and like I said, I’m ready.

as you think, so shall you be….

I feel the joy, I feel the grace. I believe in the LOA, and I am ready to receive all the good things and prosperity with positive energy.

What a difference understanding the Law of Attraction has made! Until three years ago, I was unknowingly attracting all sort of difficulties and unsuccessful personal relationships into my life. After learning about the LOA I began to make changes, even though they seemed to be “baby steps” at the time. First, I simply began to imagine how it would feel to be held close by a happy, supportive man who truly loved me. Second, I began to visualize being financially prosperous. I also journaled and joined a weekly meditation group. I read Abraham-Hicks and played the Prosperity Game. I began to “let go and let God” and focused on doing things that made me happy. I did all of that for a year. And then…

*Through very unexpected circumstances, I met the happiest, most loving, generous, respectful, supportive man imaginable! We were married eight months later. Our relationship is one of complete peace, contentment and joy.

*I began working in a contract position where I am making more money than I’ve ever made before! Today, even though it appeared very likely that my contract might end within a few weeks, I was informed that it has been extended yet again. Thank you, Universe! If I ever needed more proof that the Law of Attraction works, I received it today!

I am sharing the LOA with my family and friends. Several of my children are studying the Abraham-Hicks materials and have been putting those teachings into practice with amazing results. They are now sharing those teachings with their families and friends and are living proof that “The better it gets, the better it gets!” Each of us still struggles with resistance at times, but we have created a strong support system and our resistance is usually short-lived.

I am so very grateful to the Universe for all my blessings and those yet to come!

Ah, I believe in law of attraction through and through…and I am eager to change my vibrational frequencies so the law of attraction genuinely supports me! So that I can create a world for myself of joy, prosperity and bliss. I have no doubt law of attraction works – I am looking forward to attracting more and more and more and more good into my life…I am looking forward to attracting all that my heart desires! Yes, I have absolutely no doubt law of attraction good, I just want to believe in myself that I can attract wonderful blessings free of bummers…like broken ankles and broken hearts!

Since I started being open to expirience the LOA and started believing in its power first I was really upset and angry at myself that I am the cause of my own problems. However as soon as I passed that stage I started feeling powerful and in charge. I felt I can make a difference and I started testing the law with small experiments and every single time it proved to me how powerful it is. Now I want to experiment with bigger requests that matters more to me. I want to break through the barrier that I created for myself and I don’t dare to step the other side of it. I would like to allow myself to first ask for my desires and believe I can have it and most of all I believe I deserve to have it. I am committed to this 30 days experiment. I know I will see a big difference in my life. I know I am ready for it.

I know that I totally trust LOA and the tools and processes I have learned in the past two years. But I find that I get in a rut of studying and reading and that being drawn to this experiement now will keep me moving forward in manifesting. I know that I am very close to manifesting some big changes in my life and I don’t want to slow them down. So much has changed and happened in my life in the past year – very wonderful incredible things that I just couldn’t see how or believe would be possible a year ago and I know that I have asked for so much more and it truly is on the way to me. I realize that I am moving very fast in the stream of wellbeing and I just don’t want to get myself stuck up aginst a rock in this stream. This experiment is perfect timing for me. – Thanks!

TOday a colleague insisted on taking me out to lunch – because I had helped her a couple of times when she was at work with a broken foot in the winter …and I have made a new friend – she is Indian, very international – at the end of lunch she insisted on paying and put her hand on mine and said – this is what money is for …. not just thrift and prudence – but sometimes we need a little lunch out -some civilization and humanity in the corporate working day ….
and I watched myself – how hard it was to just relax and enjoy good company ….
but day four yes – good human social contact again today to heal my old grieving heart – and financial bounties ….

Just when I think that I truly understand and am properly applying the LOA, I’m presented with evidence (such as manifesting health problems that I didn’t even consider or think about) that I still have more to learn and master.

As I focus on my thoughts, I realize that I’m often coming from a position of “lack” rather than from a feeling of abundance. For example, I might say, “I want to find the perfect job. I know it’s out there and it will manifest.” But then I find that I follow this up with an afterthought or even a subconcious thought such as “…because I am not happy doing the job I have”–that is, I’m lacking happiness in my job. Realizing this makes me laugh as well as create a new desire of always focusing on the positive without the contradictory thought of “lack.”

What I hope to gain from this experiment, among other things, is the ability not to focus on the “lack.” All suggestions are welcomed.

The beauty of this experiment is that I am energized and focused on learning to effectively attract and manifest all that I want. I’m making it a primary intent in place of other things going on in my life, and I’m gaining ideas, insight, and enthusiasm from my fellow experimenters. I’m even finding myself saying, “I watch daily for evidence of the things I want to manifest and I expect them to arrive.”

Thanks to all of you!

I Am -Whole; Perfect; Strong; Powerful- I Am Loving; Kind; Intelligent and Wise.- I Am Harmonious; Happy and Blessed!

I can expect to receive the abundance and prosperity that I seek.

I have asked and I shall receive.

Bless me Lord! Bless me indeed!

God wants to give me all that I desire and this experiment is going to help me create and attract more abundance and prosperity into my life.

I think I am at the “beginning to have faith that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.” stage. I really enjoy the feelings I get when I concentrate my attention on aligning myself with what I want. I feel the ease, the struggle goes away and I can appreciate being present to the joy in my life.
I am looking for evidence showing up and I truly believe that working on this alignment is very beneficial for me.
This week I solved my financial situation for the next 6 months by finding a buyer for a forestry block I wanted to sell. I only put in on the market last Friday and already the Universe has brought me what I wanted. I thought it would take maybe months. I am beginning to feel the power of my positive alignment speeding up the delivery of my desires.
This is just the beginning of this experiment. I better get busy with my asking. It is exciting to have this faith welling up inside of me.
Thank you all…I appreciate the collective energy of our group!

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi said “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become.”
I am looking forward to the LOA becoming a part of my life.
I need to start the day with an open mind and heart, ready to accept gratitude, serenity, peace and prosperity. I tend to forget this during the day until I come here.
I feel I am at the beginning of a whole new life experience. I can’t wait !

I do believe the law of attraction exists and works. Today a friend called to give me a tip about a job that has come up…it pays several $$ per hour more than my current job and has a benefit plan too! I can’t wait to explore this a bit more! And this is only day 4 of the experiment! Wow, I am really excited about the next few weeks!!

1) It would be wonderful to believe that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
2) I am open to imagining that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
3) I am beginning to have faith that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
4) The law of attraction supports me in practical ways

Right before I found this experiment I had started focusing on a prosperity consciousness and small bits of money started coming to me from unexpected sources. I am now diving head first into this pool and opening even larger reservoirs of proserity in all areas of life.

I know that the Universe responds to me and wants for me more than I can imagine for myself. I am open to recieve. I am ready to be wealthy. I accept abundance. I am willing for the Universe to ’show me the money’ in new and exciting ways with ease and grace.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I trust in the LOA completely. I have seen the evidence of it many times in my life although I didn’t know what it was at the time. I want to trust in the LOA and get out of my own way so that all the great things the universe (God) has planned for me will come to me in its time. I am excited in the knowing that all is well, and all will be well.

I had an interesting experience recently with deliberate intention: my 81 year old mother was hospitalized and it looked pretty serious. I caught myself worrying about what might happen and the possibility she might die. I then decided I would declare to the universe “what I wanted to happen”, instead of what I didn’t want. The next day I went to the hospital, my mothers condition had improved immensely and she’s doing great and will be home soon! Now, we only talk about how we want this all to work out and what we will do when she’s home and how great (feeling) it will be to be home.

Wow — evidence abounds — more clients rolling in, clients sending me to Scotland and Ireland, my daughter-in-law just got a job with a $5000 signing bonus. Ease and effortless abound!! Woohoo – wonderful to be on this journey with you….

I know the LOA works. I attract to me EXCATLY what I need in the moment.

I only want to continue to “show” my concious mind, that the need for “more” is endless, and that the way to more is actually through less. This new awareness is entering my concious mind, and I like the peace, and the effect it has on my daily life. I know I will end up with more than I could ever hope for, and already have richness in so many areas of my life, but only because of my own dedication to learning, remaining persistant, and letting go of all I have been told, both outside and within. The voice in my head is up for retirement, and my true self, the silence within me is taking over.

Through this nothing, all shall come. I am blessed.

Thankyou for guiding and loving me, and all your creations.

What I like about conducting a experienment like this. It helps me stay more focus and in the present moment and by paying attention to what I a experiencing and accepting how I am feeling frees my thoughts. And with this increased awareness I have more time to focus on my desires. So I am grateful for all thhis power and wisdom.

This is so interesting. It is late in the day as I am getting to the Prosperity Challenge. As I read the statements I notice resistance. I don’t believe the resistance would have been there if I had read this earlier or yesterday. So I realize when I am tired is not the time to work on the process. I know in my heart that the Law of Attraction works, why would I feel resistance at any time?

I breathe deeply and allow the feelings to wash away. I know I am better now and I shall read and re-read the statements until I can feel only joy in the knowledge that the law of attraction works in practical ways in my life always, at all times.

My belief in the LOA comes and goes. I am trying to practice being aware of signs around me and being thankful everyday even when things don’t go my way. It is wonderful to be able to read the feelings expressed here and I believe that this experiment will make me always aware of my blessings and to reach my goals. Thank you all for your inspirations.

The Law of Attraction does support me in practical ways as can be seen by proof today! When the auditors that came to my company over the last three days decided that there was no need to interview my department – we passed with flying colors! I had written an intention and asked God/the Universe to have my department be free of citations and it was so.. I am so amazed, so grateful, so thank ful..

I have been taking a watercolor class and now understand more the savoring of creation that Abraham speaks of . To take a color and mix it and watch a sunlit dawn spread across white paper is an amazing feeling when I am just loving the process. If I just think of the final outcome, the painting, then I would miss all the serendipitous puddles and streaks, all the experimenting.

Last week it was a different story, when I was down on myself for feeling uninspired and untalented. Good for me, I recognized the “screwy thinking”in the resistance of learning something new. I did a process to pivot my point of attraction and found a beautiful, inspiring photo to work with last night. Abraham talks about embracing contrast, as it helps to clarify and gives precision and power to our new deliberately chose point of attraction. So the resistance in my case helped me to choose what I really wanted!

More than anything, I want to trust the law of attraction. I want to trust it down to the smallest particles in my cells. I want it to be second nature to me. I want it to be part of my vocabulary. I want it to be part of my dreams, prayers, wishes and desires. I want it to be part of my very being. I want to know that when those sneaky little doubts poke their little heads through my thoughts, I can simply choose the downstream thoughts and choose the feel good positve emotions.

It’s like Alice and the looking glass. I can see the world on the other side of the looking glass and it is truly paradise. I even know how to get to that paradise. However, I have moments and days when I feel like I am standing in cement Jimmy Choos and that paradise is just out of my reach.

More than anything, I want to trust the law of attraction.

I challenge the Universe to show me how to do my new part time job 20 hours /week peacefully and in the flow rather than what has happened in the past of getting stressed because “there isn’t enough time.” I am grateful for this source of income and connections, and to be part of a program that I love and care about, and I want to do this in a way that still allows me to 1) get enough sleep and 2) spend time every day in a sacred space, aligning my vibration with the highest good for all concerned.
I love this program!

I did an experiment today…. I have this goal I have told the Universe about having a minimum of 10 registrations a day… yesteday was not quite there, and today, after working from 9:30-am til 4:20, I had only 3 registrations that day. I decided to be pretty strong in taking this stance with the Universe who I respect and think the world of, but I decided to take this experiment to a huge leap of faith (which I didn’t really think was possible,) and at 4:20 pm I told the Universe that I needed 7 more registrations by 5pm today!!!!! ( a sarcastic voice is saying, Yeahh right!! LOL) Well, in a few minutes I got a call from a mom who has 3 kids and wanted to come in and sign up, and how long would I be there. Right after she got there, I had another mom come in and sign up herself and her daughter for a full year,( huge amount for me huge discount for her!!) and in that day today, I did get a total of 8 new sign ups, and I also doubled my usual daily goal of income. Yes!!!! So I feel that I need to challenge myself to ask for more than what I “think” I can receive, because I honestly do really need it, and I deserve it, and today I did get some tangible proof that the Universe was listening to me….. by the way, when the mom who was signing up her 3 daughters heard about the discount on the full year, she is seriously considering that as well. It is a huge amount of $$ but they get a great deal too!!!! win win!!! She came very close to doing that just by hearing someone else do it , and in a few days she will make that decision. But, I wanted to share this because probably only you guys would really get it.. I tried to show my enthusiasm to my husband, and he was sort of happy for me, but doesn’t really get it!! : ( Well I am so happy that I can share this wonderful testimony…. my husband has clinical depression, and so at times I have to work double hard to stay up in the vibration…. but wouldn’t it be nice if I didn’t have to!!! That is my new goal!! : )

I truly believe and trust in the LOA. I KNOW without a shadow of a doubt that it works. I had the experience 9 years ago of manifesting the purchase of a house in exactly where I wanted to live, with the financial arrangements that allowed us to buy it showing up in unusual ways. And my ability to manifest it, the realization that I had the POWER to do so, scared the…….out of me and I have not had that experience at that level since. Now, I am ready to allow my God power to emerge and flourish. Now, I am ready to be powerful and create a life of joy, abundance and peace that I might share with others in ways I can only yet imagine and that imagining is good. Whatever anxiety I may have as I repeat the affirmations will be transformed into joy as I realize that it is only a sign lack of familiarity with the feeling of the opening of my heart centre to the Universe responding to my YES. In gratitude.

I believe in the law of attraction, I’m just not sure I can trust the law of attraction to support ME in practical ways. I think I can see it at work for other people yet can’t quite grasp or trust how I can have it consistently work for me.
I love taking the aproach of an ‘experiment’ because I can set aside judgement, expectation and anxiety regarding the outcome. This leaves me feeling open and curious, in excited anticipation of all the possibilities. I want to trust the law of attraction works for me consistently, in practical ways.

I am inspired and uplifted by the love and support flowing through these pages. I know and believe in the Law of Attraction. Ultimately, underneath the chaos and mind spurring thoughts that can rattle me from my center, I have trust and faith in LOA and myself knowing that the only the best will be manifested in my life. I have definitely felt times when I am in flow (rather than in flux) with the LOA and where I have manifested extraordinary meetings with people who elevate my work and my spirit and with like-minded companions. Then there are those moments, usually around check balancing time, when I become frustrated and angry, thinking that if I am supposed to attract only the best and the abundance I deserve, why doesn’t my bank account yet reflect this. Am I resisting and creating more misery for myself, fearing change, fearing true financial independence? It’s a very strange almost out of body experience to know that I might be blocking and delaying my highest good from flowing to me easily. This is where I start to doubt LOA, even though I have experienced way to much good already in my life and am so grateful for everything I have now. But I want more. I want a life of financial freedom, to be the master of my financial fate, to be able to celebrate and use my creative gifts without worrying about checks bouncing and financial minutia. So by participating in this experiment, and committing every day to focus on prosperity and allowing, I know I can start to lessen my resistance, silence my fears and doubts and let abundance and prosperity shine in my life fully and completely. I ask Spirit to guide me to my highest good now.

I believe in the Law of Attraction. Today, I got calls from two different people about coaching and set up times with them to meet this weekend. Last night, my car was towed, due to road construction on the street where my car was parked. I didn’t even stress about it. I just asked for help and it showed up immediately in the form of the tow truck driver who towed it…he drove me to my car…I didn’t need to get involved with the police, or anything. Easy. Today I was at a meeting and saw someone I haven’t seen for a year. At that time however, he was having a hard time. I gave him the Secret. His life has transformed. After the meeting, I saw him AGAIN. And we had a fabulously inspirational talk. There are no coincidences.
The Law of Attraction supports me in practical ways. Fabulously practical ways.

I remember vividly the day I went from “believing in the possibilities” of the LOA, to “knowing that it just IS.” I was curling my hair and it hit me like a lightning bolt. Mundane activity, profound insight! I had had enough proof over the years that what I focussed intently on, I got. People called me lucky, I called myself prepared to take advantage of the opportunities as they presented themselves. So I no longer need proof, I just know…

I wasn’t really sure why I joined this experiment. I didn’t think I needed anything in particular from it, I just thought it would provide another way to focus my energies. But another mundane activity, another lightning bolt…

I was taking care of some housework, and thinking about this blog, and I suddenly realized something that has been missing from my life. I am craving inspirational relationships with inspirational people, and I didn’t even know it. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts of your journeys. Through you I have found something to ask of the Universe.

I know some very meaningful and uplifting friendships are on their way, and I am tingling with excitement! Another phase begins…

I believe in the Law of Attraction and have magnificent results in my life, however not consistently or as fully as I would prefer. I am just now finding the puka’s in my belief. I am finding out the way in which I am thinking is positive is in fact holding in place, through the Law of Attraction, all of the things and conditions that I would prefer to no longer have. This itself is the Law of Attraction in action as I have been focused on receiving the answers, help, guidance to lead me into what I truly desire. I do understand/know that the Law of Attraction is always working and now I am beginning to understand/know the vibrations that keep my hearts desires at bay. Shifting vibrations, what a loving, fun exciting journey. This experiment is important to me because I can feel all of the beautiful vibrations out there in the form of you, that are all aligned, encouraging, supporting me to believe/know how to live the fullness of my life.

I love the laws of attaction and can create the small stuff. Now i need and want to learn to experience LOA on a big scale.
I’m even struggling to have quiet time (school hols :) ) to be able to focus on these pages and to connect with what I want to do – so I guess there’s a challenge to the universe I could put into practice and see if I get results!
Love reading everyones comments they are so inspiring!

I trust there will always be a roof over my head and food on the table Ive made, and I trust my true desires will come, and I have a true short term burning desire that is taking forever to get here but I trust it is near, and I thank you all for helping me to bounce off you on my way.

I am already seeing tangible proof! My ideal clients have simply picked up the phone and called me ~ voicing the exact sentiments and voicing the exact words I have hoped to hear. Thank you, thank you.

LOA – not a problem. I re-view my life and see it all.
Deliberate creation – fun, healthy and exciting to rejoin.

ALLOWING, ALLOWING, ALLOWING????? –

Thank you for leading me to the insight Elyse, at least I’ve now learned the problem that you knew from our first conversation.

And now, I can enjoy the “group energy.” Big steps.

Thank you for the group energy, “The Experiment” is necessary for me to reinforce my belief system in my desires. This brings me back to my route,
spending a month focusing only on my desires and fine tuning my rockets of desires will lead me only to what I truly want because I am worth it, and so are you.

I do believe Law of Attraction supports me in practical ways…. YES !!! And prosperity is coming form unexpected sources… I’m really enjoying bieng open heart to receive.

When I say these affirmations out loud, my internal response is as follows.

1) It would be wonderful to believe that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
Internal response- “I do believe.”

2) I am open to imagining that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
Internal response- “I don’t just imagine it, it’s true.”

3) I am beginning to have faith that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
Internal response- ” I do have faith. I see more and more evidence everyday.”

4) The law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
Internal (and external) response- ” I know this to be true. I have seen the evidence that this is true. So why is there not yet more evidence of success and prosperity in my life? The problem is not with the Law of Attraction, but with me. It’s my habitual or unconscious thinking that involves fear or lack that is blocking Universal abundance and Well-Being. My concern is that there are unconscious “lack or poverty programs” that are running that I don’t even know about that are blocking my prosperity.
I’m not entirely sure what to do about them, but my belief is that the more I feed the thoughts and beliefs that are in alignment with Universal abundance, the more they will grow and replace the ones that are not. I don’t necessarily have to know the location and source of every weed in my mental garden, just stop giving them water! Then they will not grow or control the garden, but instead shrivel and fade away.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

I know that the law of attraction supports me in practical, positive ways everyday!

I trust the Law of Attraction supports me in practical ways. Sometimes more subtlely than others. I continue to struggle with resisting negative and self-defeating thoughts but they are becoming easier to resist and it is showing up in many different ways. I feel more energetic, committed, and powerful in both my personal and professional life. I am currently being challenged in that my beloved dog, Lila, is seriously ill with kidney disease. The drs. are “guardedly optimistic”. I am optimistic that my positive energy and healing energy will see her through and back to health. The more energy that is sent her way, the better her chances.
I will keep everyone updated.

Why do we do an expiriment? A LOA coach and friend had me doing a ‘Proof Book’ and writing down every intention I set that came to pass. I believe seeing these written down increases my ideas of what is possible. It proves I am a conscious creator when I choose to remember that I AM.

I know from experience that the Law of Attraction exists. I find the challenge is for me to DO what I know.

I’ve had a lot of small successes with deliberate creation, but everytime I begin putting attention on big stuff (the stuff that really matters to me), I feel massive resistance and have dreams telling me I have to deal with emotional garbage from my childhood, then I give up on my desires.

I’ve been doing psychotherapy now for 4 years, tried all kinds of alternate treatments to deal with childhood (and beyond) traumas and frankly getting to the point where I am fed up!

Just to get to the place of being able to put attention on what I want for a brief period of time takes tremendous effort. And the anxiety kicks in damn fast, usually within a couple of days. Then I have the dreams and sure enough I give up once again when the anxiety becomes unbearable Argh!

I know I need to release a lot of emotional blocks, but I’ve tried all kinds of things and am still stuck. I’ve gone through most of my life in a state of emotional paralysis with periodic disocciation and frequent anxiety and occasional depression. Psychotherapy has helped as I know longer consider suicide, but thoughts of being doomed forever still occupy my mind frequently. God, I hope I will someday permanently (not just for a day or two) break free of all this.

i absolutely trust that as you think, so shall you be…but you cannot forget to give thanks for the blessings that already exist in your life…the sunny day, the good food, the nice car, the green grass, whatever it is you have that is good and right in our lives…..

I’ve known the Law of Attraction for years, and every time I remember to use it, it works! But of course, I forget to use it until I find myself in a black hole that I can’t get out of. By taking part in this wonderful experiment this month, I intend to get into such a strong habit of using the Law of Attraction, that it will be automatic. Already, just in the first few days of thinking about the experiment and taking part, I’ve had a real breakthrough in my perception of prosperity – I deserve to be paid for my work; I can enjoy spending money; the guilt around money has gone! If this momentum keeps up, my life will be totally changed in four weeks time!

Thank you Elise for everything you are making possible.

I know the law of attraction works because I have created so much good in my life by default. So I committed myself to become a student of the teachings of Abraham, and live the life I am destined to live.

1. My intent is to internalize the teachings of law of attraction.
2. The law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
3. It would be wonderful to believe that the law of attrition supports me in practical ways.
4. I am open to imagining that Th. elaw of attraction supports me in practical ways.
5. i am beginning to have faith that the Law Of Attraction supports me in practical ways.
6. the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
i am committed to the being of who i say that i am.
I look forward to what the universe puts before me.
I am included.
i am apart of.

I am beginning to trust. Tomorrow I have a job interview for a position I didn’t apply for as a massage therapist at a physical therapist office. I am wanting to expand my expression of myself as a healer and to let go of my second job in an office. I knew it had to be created. It is SO great if I am not the one who has to figure out how to make that happen. So wonderful. I am overflowing with gratitude.

In being of assistance in handling wealth; in dispersing and sharing and helping with it, one is manifesting the divine…I do resonate there in… My mind literally feels brighter when I read Sri Aurobindo’s words. In fact they make me feel more In-synergy with the divine plan for this here/now.

I’m still working on defining my shift…I tuned in on Thursday clearly, Friday one of my dreams came true with gift of a sailing trip in the warm Pacific water around Panama. I was aglow… but I missed keeping up on my posts…since we had no internet at sea.

My personal economics challenged me, and I agreed to work with a young restaurateur in a challenging situation…good. But I agreed to work very long hours for very little pay (now)…not so good. Monday I began my twelve hour shifts at the restaurant, and I’ve missed more posting. Drat. Hmmm.

This is early Tuesday morning…and I’m still working on what motivated me to step outside of my abundance and support this young man…hmmm. Time will tell, I imagine. Farewell for now my dears, may we each learn the clarity of divine true action in each of our decisions.

Thanks for being here in this space with me…as I slipped and now rise and stand; and get back in the lovely abundant reality…of gratitude.

I do believe, that the LoA is as essential to me, as me breathing.
I do believe, that it supports me in my practical ways.

Hey, everybody, keep up the good work!

Evidence is showing up all the time that LoA works, especially when I pay attention. I have had several really significant experiences in the last few days that attest to the truth of that. I really don’t need more evidence but want to continue playing the game because I could use more support is being the deliberate creator I know I am. Focus, focus, focus-hocus pocus!

I come to LOA from a Spiritual perspective and I’ve always had many instances of it showing up in my life.
However, I’ve always found it harder to believe it’s working on a more physical plane, particularly a monetary plane. Coming from a Spiritual space, money also has never been a strong pull in my life and therefore my needs has been less, so to speak.

Now, thanks to this forum and the Aurobindo quote, I can think of money in a very different way. This has been very liberating.

I now realise that it is not only okay for me to ask for what i want, but i also need to be very clear about what i want and believe that i deserve to have it. And that, in a way, my wanting and creating more abundance in my own life creates a wonderful circle of giving and receiving to all the participants of this Universe.
This is a great motivation! Thanks Elyse.

The law of attraction does work, always. I just need to focus on it more and get rid of the chatter to focus on what i do want

I think that most of us struggle with the question of faith at one time or another. The problem, although I know we each have different circumstances and different risks involved for us in letting go and trusting, is being afraid to change. We all have our comfort zones, and so many stick with the ‘better the devil you know’ maxim rather than take the risks that may lead us to positive changes. So perhaps a question to ask first is ‘what would the worst outcome be if I tried this and it didn’t work?’ Maybe that appears to be a lack of faith, but if you can have a plan for how you would cope in the unlikely event that things ‘went wrong’, then you can file that away and get on with making that first step into the unknown, knowing that whatever happens, you’ll handle it, but still giving it all you have. Chances are it will turn out better than you could ever imagine, as it always does for me!

I have written out the 4 stages on a piece of paper that I intend to carry all day.
I feel that I need this help to constantly put these thoughts in my mind; that constant repetition and suggestion can help create the feeling of trust.

For some reason I’m feeling quite nervous at this stage of the experiment.
That is also making me anxious because I’m afraid that any negative reservations could hinder the effectiveness of this trial for me. Own worst enemy, right?

Maybe though the nervousness is really an anticipation of all that could be and all that I could attract to myself. A feeling of unfamiliarity at the new way that I want to perceive myself and my life.

At any rate, I’m sticking with it. Let you know when the results are in.

I definitely agree with everyone who has listed a comment before me. I believe that we attract what we give out. I had an amazing breakthrough this week. I realized why I wasn’t receiving the things, jobs, people and finances in my life. I had so much resistance and had no clue that it was there. On Monday, I listened to one of Elyse’s coaching audios when she was coaching Candace. A shift occurred in me. I realized that I would say affirmations but deep inside, I did not possess the qualities of what I was asking for. I was looking for status and love that I didn’t give myself.
I immediately began writing a journal in regards to what I love about myself, the wonderful qualities that I possess and what I can offer the world, my new career and even a new love interest. I had to open up for me to receive.
These daily experiments keep me focused. However, I would like to improve on thinking better thoughts and that the negative thoughts will be counteracted with positive thoughts.

Thanks Elyse.

The Law of Attraction Supports me in practical ways. I have faith that this is true. My swimming pool needs major repairs and when the workers tore out the liner they realized that the damage was much for than they expected. This meant that the original quote that was for way more money than we can afford has just gone up another 50%. People keep telling us that we should sue the previous owners of the house for failing to disclose the flaw, that we should sue the original installers of the pool, and all sorts of other advise that would require that we persue a very toxic path. Despite that fact that my husband is unemployed and I have no lucrative contracts confirmend yet for the balance of 2009, my husband and I have agreed to just repair the pool and keep the peace. I have faith that the damage is an accident and not due to faulty work on the part of the installer or undisclosure of flaws by the previous owners. I believe that I attract honest souls embodied in beautiful people. I believe that the positive energy of keeping the peace will attract much more positive energy that will manifest in many beautiful ways, including prosperity on the inside out. I have faith in the law of attraction and that it will support me in many practical ways.

Greetings,
I am so thrilled to have attracted this group to me. I’ve studied Abraham for about 15 years and have much evidence about how the law of attraction is working for me. I am still in the process of releasing old beliefs and habits that slow down the manifestation of my dreams, but I’ve come a long way and I’m now a place of joyous transition – knowing that blessings and all my desires are on their way, and trying to be patient and not anxious or fearful in this stage. It’s often too easy to slip back into old thought patterns and words – so a community like this is fabulous. It will be fun to see how this practice will manifest my desires quicker with focused intention.

Louise

I believe in the law of attraction and have seen it work in my life for some time. I love the idea of participating with a group ad believe there is power in numbers and working together.

I also feel at times like some of the previous posts that there are sometimes feelings of nervousness, which may lead to fear that the negative thoughts will keep the law from working in my life. I also have a tendency to believe that the law of attraction works in everyone’s life but mine. I recognize the lack of trust – trust in God, trust in the Universe, Trust in the laws of attraction. Also, sometimes I realize that we have the answer – it just doesn’t look like what we thought it would look. So, I have a lot going on in my life and it may possibly be that everything that I am creating is happening. I am waiting with anticipation to see where this experiment takes me.

I enjoy reading the other posts and wait with eager anticipation to see where this prosperity game is taking each of you – and me.

I believe it was Charles Filmore who said, ” Don’t believe in an undemonstrated ANYTHING.” There is absolutely no reason for any of us to believe this doesn’t work, because as Johnnie Coleman’s book states, “IT WILL WORK IF YOU WORK IT.” I believe the level to which you harness manifestations is totally based on the level in which you believe. If you believe it works, it works, if you believe it doesn’t it won’t. The law is still working however you belive, even in unbelief. I am on a search to do better, be better, and get better. I believe that every single thing I have asked to do, be or have are coming to me in the speed of light. I believe that all the things I have asked for are coming to me to increase my level of awareness of the goodness of God and alll his creation. Trust is dependent upon where you are in line with the enlightenment of your own personal power, of knowing it is all good, because it is all GOD.

After I came across the Law of attraction material, which was fairly recently, I did a review of my life and found that it had been working perfectly without my knowledge! It has and always has supported me in practical ways be it in leading me to learn new skills, languages, or piut me through experiences that would prepare me for whatever was coming my way next, I did allow myself to be led in wonder.
Now being aware of the way the law ofattraction works, I am being careful about The thoughts I choose and what I wish to manifest in my life.
I have lost the anxiety that I used to feel whenever I was at cross roads in life. I know the law of attraction will continue to work in my life as it used to and all that i need is patience to watch everything unfold in a perfect manner..

The law of attraction supports me in practical ways. It’s all consciousness and you either believe it works or you don’t. The power of the mind to attract or repel is indisputable.

Therefore, I choose to believe. I do believe. I believe.
I choose to know. I do know. I know.
I choose to trust. I do trust. I trust.
I choose to accept. I do accept. I accept.

Believing, knowing, trusting and accepting, I attract greater financial increase in my life here and now. I let it be.

the UNiverse and all of its laws and energies (LOA) support me in practical ways. i trust that, I know that, I believe that. Now whether I always demonstrate that in a positve way for the betterment of my life, that’s a different story. I do know it works whether I am consciously aware of it or not. I heard it said that the root cause of human suffering is forgetfulness. For whatever reason I forget. I need to find tools and ways for me to remember and keep remembering so that i and my family and thus the world can benefit. I am constantly evolving, so this prosperity experiment is prosperity on another level. I’m asking questions that I have not asked before. Stuff is being revealed to me that was not revealed to me when I first became aware of LOA about 3 years ago. I’m excited again.

I trust in the law of attraction. It’s saved my proverbial buttocks a number of times. I trust that good things will come.

The problem is, I need a financial miracle now. I need that income for my needs and desires now because living below the poverty line with $449 a month SSI (thank the Universe for Food Stamps) isn’t cutting it. And I’m struggling. And though I keep applying for work, no one seems interested in hiring me.

The law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
I had proof of this before I even began my journey on this spiritual path. This was good because I asked for a lot, so it took 6 months to manifest.
I wanted a female car sales person I could trust and I wanted to buy a Toyota. I really wanted that and I talked about it all the time to whoever would listen and I thought about it every time I got into my old car that I wanted to replace.
My friend across the street dropped in one day and told me she just got a job at the Toyota dealership closest to us. She only worked there long enough for my deal to go through and then she decided it wasn’t what she wanted.
This was an a-ha moment for me. My friend didn’t really enjoy the experience and I never told her I kind of manifested that whole thing, but in the end, she left everything behind. It was something she needed to do to get where she was going and I’m grateful for her help along her way.
When I think back on that experience, there really wasn’t anything I could do to create a female car sales person at the Toyota dealership closest to me. It had to be a function of the universe. All I could do was want it, wish for it, think about how great that would be and hold the conviction that it was possible.
I went through a phase a few years back where I was manifesting stuff like growing radishes. It got to the point where I revolted against stuff and, as I now know, changed my vibration toward stuff and put an abrupt end to the stuff showing up. Really it was getting silly. When a cowbell arrived in the mail from the Alberta Cattle Commission, it was the last straw. What the heck am I going to do with a cowbell! I had boxes of water bottles, boxes of scarves, coffee mugs etc. all leftovers from public events.
So, now to tap into that vibration again but this time manifest a prosperous life consciously. I want the life I want and it doesn’t include boxes of swag and cowbells.
I want the law of attraction to support me in expanding my business to include frequent workshops that I get paid to facilitate, letters that I write for a price people are happy to pay because the letters get them results they want and I want a team to work with to get all this manifested, organized and accomplished so we can share the joy of success.

trusting has been my biggest challenge for the past year since i found the abraham material and the PPP, but i am sooooooooooooo much better at it now! i believe i now trust more often than not. letting go was hard, i would rack my brain trying to come up with solutions and even though i knew to let it go and let loa take care of it, i would still focus on it. i’ve gotten much better at this, it has just taken practice and time to unravel all the old patterns and beliefs.
so i hereby declare that i totally and completely TRUST that the universe supports me in all ways. i ask for support to break through this final barrier of playing small to playing big! i ask for support in finding the confidence that i CAN run a learning center with 100 kids! i ask for the support to find a way to release the resistance i am holding within me that has kept more students from signing up at my learning center. i ask my angels to support me in this.

I TRUST

I know that the LOA works, I just have to keep my hands off the oars and stay in the vortex. I’ve just had a visit from a friend who insists on supporting me with a project that needs financing. I had been creating as I am inspired to create, not knowing how to finance the first samples, but trusting that it would come, and now it has. My work is to remain in trust, and allow what is showing up in my life to reflect my potential. I am doing what is in front of me and what I’m inspired to do, and trusting that each and every step will fall into place at exactly the right time.
I TRUST the Law Of Attraction to support me in practical ways!

Progressive Affirmation: The law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
To internalize this truth, repeat each stage numerous times daily until you feel at one with (no resistance to) the statement.
1) It would be wonderful to believe that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
2) I am open to imagining that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
3) I am beginning to have faith that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
4) The law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
Share your comments about how much you want to ”trust” the law of attraction.
Actually, to me this should be about how much I already trust the law of attraction. Because, there were many things in my life that I didn’t actually think was possible. But, I held onto the faith and the belief that just maybe they would. I relaxed into it and sometimes even forgot about it… and lo and behold, before you know it things were happening very swiftly, and I was, and still am… Oh So Happy!
So, I should say that the Law of Attraction does indeed support me in the most practical ways!

I am beginning to trust the law of attraction. The more time I spend in the vibration of already having what I want, the more likely I am to receive it. So I imagine, every day, what it feels like to have exactly what I want. Figuring out what that is has been the difficult part! I imagine what makes sense, what i think will bring in the most money–but that’s not what I really and truly want. So I am spending some time today to really figure out what I want, not what I think I SHOULD want!

I tend to go back and forth. I have times where I completely trust and believe in the Law of Attraction, and recall all the times in my life where it has been shown to me.

And then I have the cynic who chimes in, who leads me to doubt.

I feel like I am in a place of complete willingness to trust the Law of Attraction. My heart is more open to possibility in the past week, and things are moving positively in my life. So I will use the affirmations to reinforce this trend.

This is my fourth go at the Prosperity Experiment. Each time I consciously play and record evidence of prosperity, I peel off another layer of the onion skin that gets me closer to my true authentic self. I saved my notes, goals and evidence from the past year, and in reviewing them, I have come to realize that I have manifested a lot of my dreams. We’ve remodeled our kitchen, adding a deck, and some other material manifestations, but more importantly, I have reached a new personal best with my art. I am happier and more confident with every job I do and have a more focused plan for my fine art. I prayed for this two years ago. The seeds we plant today will grow tomorrow.

I trust the law of attraction. I have absolute faith in the law of attraction. Its been more work for me about releasing my resistance. Most of the resistance I have came from ideas that were taught to me at a young age (ie there isn’t enough), and most of my work has been letting go of those limiting beliefs. I’ve finally found a way to do that and any time I find myself worrying or questioning my ability to manifest my desires, I just repeat “When I have a choice, I choose to believe” and almost always instantaneously my resistance melts into a feeling of relief!

Okay — the proof keeps rolling in with another amazing gift yesterday, someone paid for me to visit a Chinese herbalist. It was totally unexpected and very timely.

I’ve found that my timing in all respects has sharpened in just a week. This morning I got up and started working on my own affirmations. I was looking to build something that was perfect just for me. As I finished I realized that I developed a list of affirmations that seemed to lead one to another.

Then I read the email this morning and discovered what I’d done was created a progressive affirmation.

I’m definitely tracking “coincidences” and signs. I feel my faith deepening with each day that this is working. I am open to receiving more gifts as proof of the abundance of life.

I’m a believer. Three potential private coaching clients appeared yesterday. And here’s the thing, I know these things were happening before-but the difference is the gratitude I’m feeling which is making my life so much more delightful. That and ALL the saved energy that I used to spend worrying about $. So now I’m spending that energy on developing some ideas I’ve been working on and time with my friends and boy is it nice to see the positive results as I finally am floating downstream!..

1) It would be wonderful to believe that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.

2) I am open to imagining that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.

3) I am beginning to have faith that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.

4) The law of attraction supports me in practical ways.

I am seeing evidence of the LOA all the time. It is on my mind in every task I do. I know that I am attracting the energy that I need, that I want, that is useful and supportive to my wants and desires.
I have some Louise Hay affirmation cards displayed next to my bed and under my computer- allow me to share them with you:

I am open and receptive to new avenues of income. I now receive my Good from expected and unexpected sources. I am unlimited Being, accepting from an Unlimited Source in an unlimited way. I am blessed beyond my fondest dreams.

There is plenty for EVERYONE including me! The Ocean of Life is lavish with its abundance. ALL my needs are desires are met before I even ask! My good comes from everywhere, everyone and everything.

Life is simple and easy. All that I need to know at any given moment is revealed to me. I trust myself, I trust Life. All is well.

AND SO IT IS!

I do trust the law of attraction, but there’s still some resistance to let go of.

I come from a very “industrious” family who taught me that if you want to be, do, and have things you need to discipline yourself and “work hard” for them.

I think why I have trouble letting go of that idea is because it was taught to me out of love, and I love my family also.

I just need to remember that choosing to trust in the LOA and inspired action in place of sheer hard work and determination doesn’t mean that I’m rejecting my family. And the laws of the universe are taught to us out of love also!!

I trust I trust I trust!!

I do trust in the power and the energy of the Universe. The kind of energy we throw away, the same energy we receive.
I trust that everything in my life has a cause and an effect.
I trust that the law of atraction is in constant move and it is working with positive and good things for me.

I trust 100%…

last week on day three I asked for my rent to manifest. Within two hours, I was contacted by someone half way across the world that I had never talked to or knew.. She wired me the money…

I have no doubt in my mind or do I waver on the trust that I have for the universe.

I was in tears, not over the money but over the fact that The Universe HEARD me.

i am so happy and grateful to be a part of this community. reading everyone’s posts today brought tears to my ears because i feel so connected to everyone here in some way – shared desire, i suppose. thank you elyse for creating thios forum.

i too believe and know the law of attraction works. like i read in elyse’s personal story, i too got the Abraham tapes close to 10 years ago when they were still called the science of deliberate creation. i have had immediate results whenever i consciously and deliberately followed the “recipe” on a daily basis – usually saw results withing 30-35 days…no more than 40.

i agree with what elyse says in her personal manifesting story in that it is sometimes much easier to practice this when you “have nothing to loose,” so to speak. when you are at rock bottom and any SIGN and any THING to show that it is working is welcome; i’ve been there!

similar to elyse’s story in regard to her career transition, i let go of one thing (my career), when i was guided that it was time for me to step out on my own and to manifest my own dreams – to become an entrepreneur. this had the potential to be one of the scariest moments of my life. and it kind of was.

i’d like to share my story for those who are interested in reading it because i think it is an example of how the LAW OF ATTRACTION can work in the opposite direction of what we THINK we are intending.

here goes:

i made the decision to leave my career a year ago – october of 2008. i remember clearly having taken a vacation – which was more of an emergency, absolutely necessary, mental health and exhaustion vacation – and went to a friends house in pennsylvania for the week to relax and not think.

about 4 days into my time off, i remember one of my staff members mistakenly calling my mobile phone. i remember clearly stepping out of the shower in my friends home and glancing down at my cell phone (which i had left just outside of the bathroom in a nook were the washing machine and dryer sat), and seeing the missed call. i remember feeling dizzy (literally) and sick to my stomach (literally), as if i could/would faint, just at seeing a missed call from my office. just seeing the call made me sick.

i glanced at the phone, still in my towel from my shower, wondering if i should return the call – was it an emergency?! what if my team really needed me?! after all, we were in the middle of no less than 5 commercial productions (print and TV) at the time and i was managing a major, global, cosmetics account.

as i stood there frozen stiff in my towel deciding if i should return the call, my account executive texted me to say that she had dialed my number by mistake. it was in that EXACT moment that i decided – that I KNEW – that i would quit my job. i had to. there were no other signs that i needed. the sickness that i felt from just seeing a missed call was unreal – especially having had a few days on vacation of not thinking of work at all. the contrast was unbearable. shocking. disturbing.

however, the decision to leave was a great one. i had taken some time to build my career in my industry and all of my self-worth was wrapped up in what i did for a living. who was i, if it wasn’t my work, my salary, etc.?

mind you, all of my closest friends and family had been gently encouraging me to quit for some time. and i knew getting another job would be easy – executive recruiters called me all of the time, but i knew that if i quit it would not be to go to work for another advertising agency; i was at one of the best and biggest already. i knew that if i quit it would be to manifest my dreams to have my own marketing and branding company and also to open a restaurant (which i had been thinking of for the previous year – since ‘07.)

so THIS was the scary part – that i would be responsible for bringing in my own income (of course, not fully remembering that i already WAS bringing in – ATTRACTING! – my own income anyway! – that my job was NOT my source, but simply what i was attracting. and if i could do it once, i could and would do it again!)

i remember every single one of my friends and family members and the few co-workers who i confided in being my greatest cheerleaders. encouraging me to “go for it!” saying things like “what took you so long to do this – you’re made to be an entrepreneur!!, “if anyone can do this, you can.” and just being the most encouraging and supportive that i could have ever imagined. EXCEPT for one.

this one is the man who i consider to be my surrogate father (my real father passed away years ago). he for many years (until i caught up :-) ). was my spiritual advisor. he is a psychic reader and channeler as well and this is how i had originally met him many years ago – going to him for a reading.

i remember he said to me when i told him i was going to quit my job (paraphrasing): “that is the stupidest thing that i have ever heard. the stupidest idea ever! you are crazy! how could you ever think to do such a thing and put that out into the universe by verbalizing it. you’re in a position that is that of the cream of the crop…. at a global agency…that most people would give their right arm to get into…and you’re making real money. why would you do such a thing?!!! and plus, we’re in the middle of a recession!! you’d be crazy to give that up!”

he went on to say that he couldn’t even listen to me anymore (mind you he was doing all of the talking! haahaa!), and that he was hanging up until i could think straight and could said something that made sense. and then he abruptly hung up.

i sat in my office on the 24th floor overlooking manhattan and was floored. i was stunned into silence. i looked at the phone that i now put down when i realized that he actually really did hang up on me (a first for me!), and just stared out at nothing, dumbfounded.

you have to understand that this man was someone i considered to be the most “spiritual” man i knew. my advisor and confidant – among other things. my friend and father. highly intelligent and with a vocabulary so large that i often have to refer to my nearest dictionary just to listen to him talk to me (in casual conversation, even), i had never heard him speak this way, and had certainly never heard him ever use a word such as “stupidest” haaaaahaaa! and especially not when referring to me.

confused and then saddened my feelings quickly turned to hurt. and then a bit of anger. “HOW DARE HE?!!!” i thought. the one person i thought would understand (me) the most, and be most supportive…understood the least. this is not what i expected. very quickly i realized that i had triggered something very deep in him – a wound of some sort. understanding that he grew up at a time when this country was not so kind to african-americans and for me to be in a position like the one i was in was unheard of…undreamt of, even, i just as quickly decided to have compassion for him and to not take his comments and reactions too personally.

but i also knew that this was the LAW OF ATTRACTION at work. BIG TIME. i knew very quickly – maybe after thinking about what had happened between us for a few days – that he was mirroring – GLARINGLY – something about my belief systems about myself and my decision and the source of my abundance. he was a mirror for me about something i must have thought – on a deep unconscious/subconscious level – about myself and my decision. and that i had attracted his response to me through the LAW OF ATTRACTION. oh my.

this was nearly devastating to me. eye-opening to say the least. i had done some soooooo much “work on myself” over the previous 10 years or so that i thought how could this be? i know enough to know that it wasn’t so much what he said to me as it was my reaction to what he said to me – my own feeling response to his words to me that was that attracting factor. “why was i having such a strong reaction” i thought?

still clear that leaving my career and resigning to become an entrepreneur was what i needed to be doing, i decided i wouldn’t give my notice until all parts of me were aligned – mental, emotional and physical. my mental and physical bodies were ready to leave the building – YESTERDAY! – but i knew that if my emotional body (my feelings!!) was not i could very well cause myself some serious harm. as Abraham says (paraphrasing) “don’t take action until your energy is so aligned that what you are about to do feels like the next logical step.” clearly, mine was not.

and so i decided that the day that i woke up and had no fear – the day i felt my emotions were in agreement with the rest of me, i would hand in my resignation – but that i would also NOT let myself stay past the new year – or deep into it, at least. even if i had no clients lined up when i left. (which i didn’t, by the time i left).

it took three more months. after we came back from christmas/new years break. on january 5th of 2009, i joyously handed in my resignation with not a shred of resistance in my body. mind or spirit. i was ELATED!! i WAS ON CLOUD 9!!!! i KNEW it was the best decision that i had ever made in my life, but that it also had to happen at the right time. it had to feel like the next logical step. my emotions.feelings had to be in agreement and thrust me forward.

as a bi-product, over that time (the three months), i also noticed that as i shifted my own energy within, my friend/surrogate father, without him knowing what i was doing within myself, started to drastically change his tune and became my biggest cheerleader ever!! and still is. a complete 360 degree turn. in fact, i’m sure if i were to remind him today of his initial response to me – “that i was crazy and it was the stupidest decision/thing he had ever heard”. he would not, today, remember at all that he said this.

so, i tell this story to show how the law of attraction works ALL THE TIME EVERYTIME, and shows us our thoughts of lack not only through lack of financial support and “physical things”, but in the above ways as well. we really must be vigilant and loving keepers of our thoughts.

i also realized about a month into the 3 months that it took me to quit, that a lot of my preparing myself to leave my job/career was me imagining the worst case scenario and deciding if i could live with that (sleeping on someone’s couch if i lost my apartment, etc.).

i proudly decided that i could (live with it), but what was happening was that while this might have been a great exercise/starting point (this imagining the worst case scenario thing), i found that i was expecting and anticipating and actually preparing for the worst instead of the best – like preparing to be starving and hungry and homeless after a long war!!! i was actually preparing – mentally and otherwise – to deal with that – as if i were going into combat!!

when i realized that this was what i was doing i again was shocked and also had to do some internal work to shift my perspective and belief systems because, clearly, i was focusing in the wrong direction and my focus was inadvertently on what i DIDN’T want (worse case scenario) instead of what i DID want (BEST case scenario). that was tricky and also astonishing to realize – how quickly our thoughts can send us someplace else entirely without us knowing.

so, again, i found how easy it is to think we’re focusing in the right direction because we’re still moving forward, but we’re really not. BUT the LAW OF ATTRACTION is still working, in any case, and will deliver us to where our thoughts/feelings are.

and still, today as i type this, i realize that although i’ve had the best year of my life…seriously…i have freedom – mental/emotional/physical – that i never imagined possible. i have traveled/vacationed in both vancouver and prague for the 1st time this year. and i have attracted a client and resources that have allowed me to pay for my living expenses with very little work required this year, there is still apart of me that is always waiting for the other shoe to drop. and THIS is what i know i must work on within first before i take any actions, even with the new clients and opportunities that are currently presenting themselves to me. otherwise, once again, the LAW OF ATTRACTION will only show me what i am truly feeling. so i have to work on the feeling state first…

that is our work.

whew! :-)

I’m working on getting into my Vortex! Just finished Abraham’s new book, and was Totally Jazzed by the audio CD that came with it. Esther’s delivery and energy just shoot my vibration through the roof.
Today’s challenge for me, means to accept what happens (in the day) as an extension of my previous energy – just to allow it to be… I will be in the now, but focus my energy and thoughts on what I want (to be happy!). I have to trust that it all is happening for a reason – to help me shoot out those rockets of desire for what I would like. In fact, I’ll start with what’s happened so far this morning and write a list of what those desires are.
Thanks Elyse!

I absolutely believe in the law and have a abundant proof including going from a two year period of unemployment to an excellent, high paying, soul-satisfying career, the car of my dreams – built to my specifications for me, incredible financial abundance and all that comes with it including a housekeeper and personal chef. There is no recession in my part of the world, no foreclosures, abundant jobs, it is but a distant experience held by others.

I have learned that the only reason I have not yet manifested the partner of my dreams is my internal resistance, fears and beliefs which no longer serve me.

The law works whether we believe in it or not. It is up to us to heal the quality of our beliefs, release our fears and then reap the rewards for ourselves and our communities.

Suhailah and others – your stories are mesmerizing and inspiring – thank you!
I too see LoA working in practical ways – every single day.
I have found myself much more inspired to pursue new clients for my business. A coffee meeting with a potential new client last week has now led to a meeting with the owner of another inspiring and successful business.
I am now thinking of new ways to utilize my companies woman-owned business certifications to pursue new business – ways that had always been there, but just never entered my consciousness.
I am throwing a 75th birthday party for my father. My mother and I have had a “walking on eggshells” relationship for several years and she hates social gatherings with a passion, yet she has gotten on board about this party and now calls me every day with new party ideas and people to invite. We will have a wonderful gathering of friends – old and new – at the event.
I am living, relaxing, and even breathing more consciously. As a result, I feel more grounded and my sleep at night is much better.
We have had many visitors stay with us and come for dinner lately and I was getting tired from all of the socializing and maintaining our temporary “B&B”. Yesterday a friend called to cancel our plans to barbecue at my home on Sunday. What a relief!

These are just a few examples – but seeing simple examples every day continues to strengthen my belief that LoA works – on so many levels.

I love what Kat shared, I too don’t feel any recession in my part of the world, yet why do I still not trust this 100% of the time. I am/have been manifesting all the things I desire, I have a new car that serves me and my son and isn’t such a burden on the universe, I recently got engaged to the most kind gentle loving partner anyone can ask for, I am in the process of house hunting for my very first home, something I’ve never experienced, but I know it is the creation of this law, my sometimes trust in it, my sometimes alignment in it that has brought me this far. Why do I still question, the resisitance from the old tapes still lingers, but it doesn’t drown me the way it used to. Now I need to put it into action on creating a new career for myself, believing in myself and my abilities and not letting others thoughts influence me. It has been said trust is earned, the law of attraction has paid ten fold and right now, writing this, I feel that trust inside. Thanks for letting me process :)

An aha moment just occured. If I am the chooser and what I have now is the result, and what I really choose is different, then I haven’t really chosen. Sooo, I make a FULL commitment to my complete prosperity which I define as: living each moment in joy and gratitude for my radiant good health, my unlimited financial income, the love of family and friends, fabulous food, wonder full travels around the world, peaceful encounters with dolphins, turtles, whales every week, romantic dinners and spiritual adventures with my beloved, and new possibilities flowing into my consciousness continuously.
I choose this experiment to be the most amazing, joyful, exquisite experience of prosperity that I have ever had. And so it is!

The law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
The Law of Attraction has been present in my life for many years only when I trust and let go so the Universe can bring my choices to me. At times there have been obstacles and from that thought I choose to recognize the little fears that may hinder the flow of attraction to me. Any fears still hanging around be gone now. I am ready to receive the prosperity of the Universe fulfilling me. I am inspired every time I know that it works. I am trusting now for my grandest choices to be manifest. And so it is.

I am so close to completely trusting the law of attraction. There are so many instances where I trust it entirely and it works pretty much all the time (imagine living in L.A. and very rarely having to deal with traffic? Yep that’s me!). Then, there are the areas that are more challenging but if they weren’t I wouldn’t learn and grow as much as I am and I’m appreciative of that. I know the more evidence I receive the more I will trust the law and then it won’t even be a second thought in my mind. I already find it so amazing how much more I trust it than when I first discovered this power!

YES, the law of attraction supports me in practical ways. I had a winning trade today in Forex and also have become more confident. I TRUST that I will make a living trading and have asked the Universe to guide and support me with the best mentors and teachers. Everyday and in every way I am becoming better and better.

Today I got an email out of no where for a contract assignment and KNOW it is LOA working. I have not heard back as yet after submiting my resume but know that I will be offered one.

I ALLOW myself to be open to all avenues from where help will come from towards my goal of personal freedom by trading Forex full time.

I CHOOSE NOW to TRUST, I do trust, I trust
I CHOOSE NOW to RECEIVE, I do receive, I receive
I CHOOSE NOW to TRADE FOREX, I do trade forex, I trade forex
I CHOOSE NOW to have personal freedom, I do have personal freedom, I have personal freedom

I AM TRUST and I AM TRUSTING and it is paying off. The other day I went to the drug store for an item and was given $5 gift card to use the next time I shop there – a little delightful surprise that inspired me to say YES!

Last Saturday I attended a relationship forum, and just allowing myself to flow downstream as Abraham says, found myself in the midst of so much unexpected FUN! I made two comments during this forum and yesterday to my delight and surprise I received an email inviting me conduct a relationship workshop at a local college in February for a nice honorarium! YES! WHOOPI! and YES!!!!! Now I’m doing the Tiger Wood’s fist pump LOL!

Apparently someone at the Saturday event, whom I do not even remember meeting, found me and VOILA! I have attracted an opportunity to do more of what I love!!!! Yes, the second surprise in two days and more delight as I float merrily downstream IN TRUST – smiling from the inside out.

I sooooo look forward to seeing what happens today trusting all the way!

Happy Autumn All, enjoy the harvest!

I really appreciate today’s blog entry and comments. The reality is, that as deeply as I believe in the Law of Attraction, I still experience resistance around it. I am ready to release the blocks that I have created, so that I can create better and bigger for myself and all. The affirmations are a nice way to “experiment” with taking the Law to a deeper level.

Yes the Law of Attraction is working for all of us all the time, I do believe that our feelings, thoughts, words and actions are creating our experiences. I now use this affirmation to guide my thoughts more: I am now able to focus my mind at will, I hold only thoughts of Love and my angels act as gatekeepers in establishing a steady stream of thoughts of Love.

Your comments are all so positive and inspiring! Thanks for sharing.

I completely believe in the Law of Attraction and I know that it works – I see it work for others all the time! I write about it and I talk about it with my coaching clients too… I was thinking before I read your posts ‘then, if I believe it and I know it, why isn’t it working for me right now?’ (we have just enough gas to get the children to school tomorrow and enough food for a few days, but I have no idea when exactly the next money will come in).

I realised by reading your posts and reviewing what I’ve actually been DOING, that the trust piece is skewed in my case – I’ve trusted in the Universe to provide and it always does – we’ve never actually run out of food or gas yet (just!), but I haven’t actually asked for more than that in specific terms. I haven’t been clear.

As Helen Hadsell says – it’s a four-part process – you have to Select, Project, Expect, and Collect – I missed out the Project part!

So, inspired by Elyse’s story, here I am asking now for three specific things – three practical ways it could/would/will support me
- for a set of 5 new tyres for our 4×4 so that we can drive safely wherever we go,
- for the money to pay our electricity bill to create light and heat and a sense of abundance in our home,
- and for my business to take off quickly, both online and offline, and provide so much value to all my clients that it generates a regular monthly income (of at least 5,000 euros) so that I can take really good care of my family.

I CHOOSE NOW to be clear – ask and it is given
I CHOOSE NOW to trust in the Universe, to let go and let god.
I CHOOSE NOW to trust in my coaching, my abilities and my talents – to be able to provide a great service to my clients
I CHOOSE NOW to trust that the actions I take on a daily basis are in alignment with my purpose, my passion and my vision and serve me well
I CHOOSE NOW to recognise that I don’t just need money to survive – I have so many things I want to do with it, to grow (even to explode!) my business and benefit so many more people in doing so…
I CHOOSE NOW to receive the gifts that are forever flowing
That’s true freedom.

It just keeps getting better and better.
What could be better than this?

Happy Autumn Equinox everyone!!
Plug in and move with all that wonderful universal energy!!

I truly believe in the Law of Attraction and that we all create. I really believe in miracles. I think the resistance comes when I “beg” a miracle and that is “yearning”. Yearning is resistance. So, I only need to dream and then be grateful and trust, just trust it is here. My dreams, yes, all my dreams are here now.

How amazing to believe that I already have all the things I have been dreaming. Then I look and think I am so grateful. It is never too late to be grateful for what I have and the spring of so much more gushes forth.

It must be the feeling of community that has had such a positive effect for me. I am host for a Parkinson’s Disease support group in a small rural community. I am active in outreach because my daughter and son-in-law both have Parkinson’s. Getting out into the community telling people about Parkinson’s has been great for me. The group is small and involves some of the sweetest care-receivers and care-givers. The group acknowledges my volunteerism regularly. Since starting to “play the prosperity game” on the 15th. I’ve done the exercises for the first two days but I think about all the steps all the time – which has been enough (though I don’t want to slack off) to bring me prosperity; very unexpected prosperity. One of the care-givers came by my home today to pick-up some books I had saved for her – she wrote me a $50. check! I couldn’t stop smiling and expressed my gratitude to her over and over again. I think the check is the “prime for the pump” – of prosperity, that is. IT’S WORKING!!

When I think of all I have believed and drawn to me over the past few years (and really, well, ever), I KNOW that the law of attraction works — even before I knew what it was. And even as a child and young adult, I noticed that people who had high expectations and and a “knowing” of what they wanted were the people who received it — while those who settled and asked for “small” got less. The doubts I run into have more to do with scale, and daring to dream big. Sure, I 100% trust the universe to always take care of me (I really do), but I still have mental blocks to deal with regarding wanting “too much.” Because of course if I’m operating with that belief, that’s exactly what I’m going to get. I am going to read the statements aloud and dissolve that limiting belief. I am ready to play big, and never settle — and ask for and receive the BIG life that I desire and that makes me feel GOOD.

I trust so much in the Law Of Attraction that tonight when I saw photos of Carnegie Hall and listened to Streisand do “Somewhere”, I knew I was right on the the RIGHT TRACK for me:), and that I AM winning at the game of my life, LOA steering me ever towards that which my Heart desires.

There are moments in my life when I bust loose and KNOW in this very moment that I have everything I could ever hope to have RIGHT NOW, and I am …suddenly…at peace…well just for a moment:), when I TRUST.

Tonya

Oh it seems that suffering:) :( , I hate it, REALLY DOES have a way of creating some fine freedoms when I swim up from the bottom vibration to the top:), I soar at times, so guess SOME suffering is not all so bad andAND I might consider when crap hits the fan, right then and there, to simply TRUST all will be just fine, well IF we live through it, that is, jeez!:) This is a Human Condition at times. Trust levels the storm out.

Tonya

I think about all the places I freely trust…I trusted my parents to know what was best for me, I trusted teachers that believed I was lazy, I trust doctors to tell me that there is something wrong with me and how to fix it, I trust my bank to keep my money, I trusted the news to give me the facts (I no longer watch the news)…all these places (and many more) I trusted because I was taught to and it was easy because everyone else was doing it. So you stop and say “Hows that workin’ for you…” and in the quest to find the answer you realize that your trust should be placed in the biggest source of all, the Universe. Why that feels like such a leap, I am not sure.

Trust = letting go = releasing = relinquishing control = facing the unknown = the universe = god (who is in everyone/everything) = me.

In thinking about yesterday’s quote and how I need to become the Chooser in my own life, I had an a-ha moment. I used to choose what I wanted. I believed that my choice was important. And I was reminded that I once had criteria for my life – a clear-cut view of what I wanted and didn’t want. Somewhere along the way I let go of that, putting my family’s needs ahead of my own and setting criteria that met their needs, regardless of my own. As a parent, I’m comfortable with that decision, but somewhere along the way I forgot that I deserve to set criteria for my life. I deserve to have my own truest needs/wants met. I used to believe I was worth it, but in every way, I’ve lost that belief. In becoming the Chooser again, I need to retrain many years of thinking and I need to believe that I can do that. I need to trust myself to be the Chooser and to choose what I want and I need to trust the universe to respond.

I am scared beyond belief, but I know that I must let go and trust completely. I rely on all of you out there to keep the energy flowing – I need to know your energy is out there; the energy of this community has the power to calm my fears and help me to trust with ease.

Thank you.

I WANT to know with absolute certainty the the LOA works consistently, predictably and always without fail. And I want to know with absolute certainty, exactly what I need to do to guarantee the outcome I desire.

What can you do to insure that you stay ‘connected’ to your prosperity – while you stand in the gap prior to manifestation?

I gotta admit that I’m not very good at this. I can submit to despair quite easily. Which is why I am here learning from this experiment.

However, I have experienced the Law Of Attraction at work in the past before I was familiar with the term. So I do have faith based on experience.
I had reached a point where I DECIDED I was going to change my circumstance and became very clear about what I wanted and clear about what I needed to get there. I had had enough of what I didn’t want and was no longer focussed on the problem. Just where I wanted to go.
I guess the interim, until manifestation, was just filled with an energised focus on my desire.
I didn’t know exactly how to get there but I did know what I wanted and why. The Universe stepped in with the means but that was so unexpected, I almost missed it because I thought the ‘how’ had to be completely up to me.
I know now I can let go. The ‘how’ is not up to me alone. It is up to me though to choose the ‘what’.

The other thing I do to stay connected to a feeling of prosperity is to look at exactly what I am doing in a given moment and know that even with great financial prosperity in my life I would still be me in this moment doing this thing. And I try to switch the feeling to “As If” I already had wealth. Because I’d still be me cooking this meal/ walking on this beach/ watching this programme on telly/ washing my hair/ whatever it is. So just focus on the moment for what it is.

Grace wasn’t part of my spiritual experience until I began to truly
appreciate Goddess consciousness…and the new visions of a grace
filled Godhead…working with humanity rather than victimizing us
each.

I believed the hostile stories of creation foisted by the angry young
English priests…that Eve was guilty, unforgiven and unforgiveable.
That all of the evils were avenged against humanity because of one
woman’s dishonor to God in the garden. It made me feel unforgiven
dishonored and lacking in grace…

Then I read “When God Was A Woman” by Merlin Stone and gained
a basic comprehension of Carolyn Myss’ archetypes…and more new
abundance concepts have become accepted and understood…

However, with all the light I gained, I still held onto my negative self
image as accurate, and my illusionary self depreciation has continued
to color every one of my interactions. As of today, that has ended.

(I have given you the background insights above…only so that you may
apply these insights to you, for you…yourself….if it is of help to you. (Please accept that I mean no offense to those who’s religious illusions do not match my own…)

I trust the law of attraction.
I am a gracious and abundant…spiritual being cloaked for now in a human body. I have the opportunity today to make abundance mine, in all aspects of my life….

I accept my abundance with great gratitude!

Here and now the responsibilities entailed for sharing and expressing my gratitude regularly are a joy. I have the abilities to manage my abundance peacefully and I am worthy of the creator’s grace as well as my own grace. It’s okay for me to love me….

I am worthy of my own grace, respect and love. So be it… And so it is….
Thank you Creator of all Light and Love…

How much do I want to trust the Law of attraction?

Well for me it is not the question How much I want to trust, I completely and undoubtly trust the Law it gave me more than enough evidence in my life.
I discovered that by just “walking backwards ” through my life I could see the law at work both in deliberate creations and creation by default.
there where times when U decided I wanted something and was very clear and determined about it and it manifested itaself in my life sometimes agains all odds!
Odf course also things that did not served me well ( at the time) came to be by my own convictions (thoughts repeated for a long time)
So now I have to ask my self “What are my hidden plans” a great inside I got from Mandy Evans (www.mandyevans.com) Being aware that I have thoughts that do not serve my desire, my wanting…

I trust the law so that I know that I need to be aware of all my thoughts and choose the right ones over and over again until these thoughts are coming by default.

Love, joy, awareness and abundance,

Love

Ferry

I am working on my faith…I have a deep unwavering faith for simple little things…I am a pro when it comes to simple manifestations…I am working to gain faith and build it by tracking all the little things and gradually asking for bigger and easily identifiable things…I feel over the course of the last few weeks my faith for the bigger things is growing and for that I am so thankful… And so it is… Love to you…

I know that the LOA works == that we all create our reality. I know this — and it manifests constantly. This time in an amazing house for myself and my daughter and grandchildren. Ask and it is given. BUT what I have also learned is that it also follows the path of least resistance… this amazing house is in a town that I do not really want to live in BECAUSE I am worrying over living in the place I really would like to live in (resistance) So, I am going to let go of the resistance and thank the universe of this amazing home that has come about and ask for an equally amazing home in the place that I desire to live….. and be so grateful that I am so blessed each and every day.
I love my life, and the adventure it is.

Blessings to all

I believe in LOA…because I have experienced it. Believing in the law of attraction has cleared the static that used to prevail my being. A clarity has set in allowing me to actually live more and more fully. What is amazing is that I consider each day ..whether it is a high attraction day or low attraction day, if you will, a blessing….and that is a first for me…

I have experienced over and over LOA in financial, personal, and professional life. I fall back into the “stream of life” when I live within LOA and trusting (a huge challange for me at times)…but I am conscious of my challanges. I am optimistic, I say YES over and over again to life and life’s opportunities and new experiences. I stretch myself over and over to do things that may have discomfort and stress. It is a fine dance between living within LOA and integrating into ones psyche the shadow self…not hating the shadow but truly recognizing when the shadow is in the light and to befriend it. That is my work over and over and over…..I did the prosperity game in 2007 and I’m grateful to be doing it again but this time to have joined the blog.

This seems to be the most challenging part for me, trusting and beliveing. I want to be able to trust that everything I ask for shall be given to me only if I can believe it to be so. Its amazing how I can be so strong in my beliefs regarding what I believe to be going on with someone else, however when it comes to me its very difficult to train my mind to do this. I will prevail in this area, I will trust and I will believe. I want to so badly, my existence depends upon it!

I feel resistance for the part “practical way” of the affirmations. I need to experience more tangible, practical and concrete manifestations. It seems that the LOA is still an intellectual principle. So I will continue to repeat and write those affirmations. At least, I’m conscious.

I am willing to believe that I can be prosperous in greater and greater ways, than I have previously imagined or experienced!
I am willing to believe that prosperity is ready to showing itself to me always, and it is all around me right now.
I am willing to start focusing on seeing the prosperity that is already showing itself to me now.
I am willing to pay more attention to the results that are manifesting, as I am consciously choosing greater prosperity in every area of my life.
It is easier for me to notice when I have thoughts that are limiting and in contrast to what I am now choosing, so that I can see that I need to concsiously release those limiting thoughts easily.
I am willing to believe that these limiting thoughts can be easily released and by choosing a new thought, I can create new results in my life, and by continuing to choose thoughts that I truly want to believe, I will start to see more and more results show up, so that it is easier and easier to truly believe!
I choose to believe that prosperity is all around me and continuously expanding in every area of my life, and i am seeing results that are amazing and helping me to believe that even greater prosperity is possible by asking and observing and releasing and focusing on the results and believing and asking and on and on….
These are affirmations that work for me right now.
