Have you been trying to work with the Law of Attraction but still can’t seem to make progress on manifesting your wishes? Try this super-simple approach to manifestation.
Before I go into the details, I want to ask you to first put yourself into the mind-set of a person who wants something, knows where to go to get it, and knows exactly how to ask for it once they arrive. A restaurant is a great example.
Believe it or not, the process is no different whether you are placing your order at a restaurant, or with the universe.
Step 1 – Figuring Out What You Really Want
One of the most common stumbling blocks in manifestation exercises is figuring out what you really want. When you first go into a restaurant to eat, the waiter gives you a menu to help you decide what you want. You look over the selections and make a decision.
Choosing a meal from a menu is much simpler than making major life decisions, of course! But at least spend a few minutes considering it carefully. If you could have anything you wanted in your life right now, what would it be? Think about experiences, qualities, physical objects, or even relationships. Choose something you feel excited about, but that you don’t desperately need.
Step 2 – Placing Your Order
When you place an order in a restaurant, the waiter will usually ask a few questions to further clarify exactly what you want. “Do you want fries or mashed potatoes with that?” “What kind of salad dressing?” “What would you like to drink?” The universe won’t ask you those questions, however! That’s why it pays to be very, VERY specific.
Once you’ve ironed out all the details, it’s time to place your order. There are many ways to tell the universe what you want. You can write it down, speak it aloud, visualize it, pray about it, sketch it, or cut out some magazine photos that represent it. Follow the procedure that feels most natural to you.
Step 3 – Relax!
Unfortunately, this is another common stumbling block. Most people, upon placing their order, think they either have to go out and force everything to happen on their own, or become very impatient when their desire isn’t granted immediately.
When you order food in a restaurant, do you agonize over whether it will be delivered to your table? Do you keep begging the waiter to hurry? Do you sneak into the kitchen to supervise the chef? Do you sit at the table and fume because your meal isn’t delivered in the first 5 minutes? No!
What do you do? You sit calmly and chat with your dinner companion(s). You perhaps enjoy an appetizer, soup or salad. You gaze out the window, or around the inside of the restaurant. You are absolutely confident and certain that your meal WILL be delivered. You may not know when, but you know it will arrive. And in what seems like no time at all, here comes your meal.
In order to place your order and have it delivered by the universe, you need to be detached and calm. You need to enjoy where you are right NOW. Live in the moment. Keep busy with other things. The time will pass quickly and before you know it, that trusty cosmic waiter will come walking right up to your table with something delicious.
One of the very first steps in working with the Law of Attraction is getting clear about what you want. It sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? Yet, millions of people around the world still have no idea what they truly want. Are you among them?
If you’ve spent most of your time taking care of responsibilities or feeling disconnected from your inner self, you have probably not been able to decide what kind of life experiences you desire. This article is going to show you how to know for sure what you REALLY want. Just a forewarning: a little bravery, hard work and patience might be required on your part.
You probably won’t believe me if I tell you that you do already know what you want. Wouldn’t you be aware of such knowledge? Yes and no. I should rephrase that statement to say that a deeper part of you already knows what you want, even if you are not consciously aware of it. Don’t worry, you will be soon!
Here are 3 simple steps that can serve as a treasure map on your journey to your heart’s desires:
1) Spend quiet time alone regularly. Most of us do not do this often enough, but it can act as a powerful energizer, harmonizer and balancer for our minds, bodies and spirits. Be sure to take advantage of silence as often as possible, because it is only in silence that you will be able to hear your inner voice. That “voice” may not be physically audible, but may instead come through as a faint stirring in your heart, tingly gut feelings, or an instant mental “knowing.”
2) Put your thoughts to work. There are two different types of thought processes you should work with. The first is focused brainstorming sessions. Use a notebook to record your ideas about your existing skills and talents, things you’ve done in the past that you loved, things you do now that you love, and things you’ve always wanted to do but never did. The other type of thought process is to allow your thoughts to roam freely without trying to direct them anywhere specific. Just think about whatever comes to mind. Very often, a powerful insight will pop up out of nowhere when you simply relax your focus like this.
3) Expand your dreams. Daydreaming about your best life is also a great way to awaken your inner guidance. Think about dreams you had when you were younger, or come up with new dreams you would choose now. Then, make them as big and grand as you can. Keep going until your heart is pounding with excitement! NOW you are on the right track.
These techniques are only a few examples; there are many more ways to figure out what you truly want. Bottom line: the most powerful question you can ask yourself is, “If I had no limitations, what would I want my life to be like?”
The answer you come up with? THAT’S what you REALLY want.
