It’s a common question many people ask after watching the movie ‘The Secret’ or after reading books like the Think and Grow Rich and The Attractor factor.

The good news is that no matter how hopeless it seems you may be able to make it work for you. The best way to test a method is to try it for yourself and a few minutes spent on a method that has worked for thousands of others is not a bad thing to do.

These tips have helped many people to fix the problems when trying to make the Law of attraction work. It can help you too. Some of the tips may seem odd , but they’re not. Just follow the steps and you will have a very good chance of attracting things in your life.

Another word of warning, don’t expect this to happen quickly. It will take anywhere from several days to several weeks and I know you are in a hurry to see the results but think about it if this is your first experience with LOA, all these days your mind has been programmed in a different way

So it takes several reinforcements to change the pattern. If you dig deeper in to what makes people successful you will see that winners think and do things differently. But you do know that ‘doing’ comes after ‘thinking’ don’t you?

So, basically what LOA does is, it changes your thinking pattern. It lets you to see beyond limitations. It helps you to dream bigger and activates your mind to come up with ideas.

In the book Rich Dad Poor Dad Robert talks about two types of statements. When you cannot afford a thing are you saying ‘I can’t afford it’ or are you asking yourself ‘How can I afford it?’ The former closes your thinking capabilities the latter pushes your brain to come up with solutions.

This is what LOA does but subtly. You won’t understand ‘how’ and ‘why’ it causes changes in your life circumstances. But if you are like me you are more concerned about the results than the inner workings of a system.

This reminds me of the experience I went through when I called Dell to order my computer. The technician asked me what amount of memory, RAM and type of processor I wanted but I simply said “I want a system that will let me check my emails and browse some websites” I also mentioned that I don’t use any graphic applications he took care of the rest and suggested the system that was right for me. See I didn’t know what type of RAM or memory will meet my requirements but I knew exactly ‘what I wanted’.

This is the most important concept of LOA. You must be clear on ‘what you want’ Again the question is not ‘what you want is plausible or not’ it is simply ‘what do you want?’. If you are honest with yourself you wouldn’t ask for impossible things but you would ask for things that are ’seemingly impossible’. For instance, you wouldn’t say I want to be the president of United States but you might say you want to be an author of a best selling book, or a multi-millionaire or you want to start a company.

A few years back, I read a book called the Silva’s Mind Control Methods. The author, Jose De Silva studied electronics and discovered that our brains function much like the electric circuits.

He then began experimenting with brain waves and found that the alpha wave pattern was helpful in making decisions, healing and improving psychic abilities.

Our brains waves vibrate at Beta level when we are wide awake. By using a special form of meditation we can make the mind to vibrate at the alpha level.

This has been proven by taking EEG scans of meditators who practice the Silva mind control technique.

Recently, I attended a workshop where I got a chance to listen to the silva mind control guided meditation CDs.

It took place in a large auditorium. We were given white robes and there were around 150 participants in the program.

The instructors gave an introductory speech for a few minutes. Then we were given some brouchers and notepad. After lunch break it was time for alpha meditaion.

First we were asked to take some deep breaths

Then the instructor asked us to concentrate on different parts of the body starting from scalp moving down to face, neck, chest, abdomen, thighs, calf muscle and finally ending with toes.

We were asked to feel the warmth caused by blood circulation in each part of our bodies then we were instructed to release the ligament pressure from those areas.

Once we were done with releasing pressure from the entire body the instructor counted from 1 to 5 and with each count we went deeper and deeper inside our minds

After the count of 5 he reminded us that this is the ‘alpha state’ and asked us to make a note of this state.

In NLP its is called ’setting triggers’ on a mind state so that whenever we want to call that state we can use a ‘word’ or a ‘gesture’ like snapping our fingers to get in to that state.

After setting the trigger, the instructor counted upwards from 5 to 1 and brought us to our normal waking state.

We also did some mental movie techniques and psychic abilities mediation during the two day workshop. I met some people who were doing this for years. One great take away from this workshop was I can now instantly go to sleep anytime I want. It used to take at least 25-30 minutes for me to go to sleep. But now it hardly takes 2-3 minutes I strat the alpha meditation before I could even complete the whole procedure I’m in deep sleep.

If you want to experience it yourself you can get those CDs at Jose De Silva’s website or checkout at amazon.

This book was published in the year 1962. The author had a strong religious background. When he saw the healing power of prayers he began to research how they worked to bring changes in the body.

He found that the words used in prayers were suggestions to our own subconscious mind. Suggestions are a way to impress ideas in subconscious mind.

Napolean Hill in his book “Think and Grow Rich” talks about the ‘power of subconscious mind’ as having the capability to connect with the infinite source of intelligence.

Many healings and super natural feats are performed by using the power of subconscious mind. You may be surprised to know that an Indian yogi underwent an abdomen operation with his eyes wide open. Later when he was asked how he could do that he said “I just gave a suggestion to my mind to avoid concentrating on that area”.

A  mind that is trained by meditation and yoga becomes a powerful source for creating miracles.

Many creative works are channeled through the infinite intelligence. Some mind control experts suggest that what we call ‘infinite intelligence’ is our own storehouse of vast information stored in the form of text, pictures and feelings stored in our own subconscious mind.

But how come we get ideas that are not related to what we have in that vast storehouse?

It happens by ‘connecting the dots’ a mix of two totally unrelated ideas can give birth to a new one that has no relation to either one of those ideas

Healing power of subconscious mind

The healing power of subconscious mind is demonstrated by the ‘placebo effect’. During a research, patients who were given sugar pills disguised as ‘pain killers’ reported reduction in pain. Their subconscious mind accepted these pills as having the ability to reduce pain that helped in release of certain chemicals in the body that reduced the pain.

There has been many instances of subconscious mind coming to the aid of people to overcome seemingly impossible difficulties. From my own experience I know that there is some power in the subconscious mind. I have used it to heal burns and minor ailments without taking any medication. However I do not suggest you should attempt to use it for healing. But I do recommend that you use it as a ’support’ for a speedy recovery.
