My 'Law of Attraction' experiences, ...

RRR
You know me, I'm always looking for the easier way to accomplish things. Well, this is what is happening with me...
The 'secret' is to think (and, therefore, feel) in terms of accomplished facts, right?
Thus, it is the w-o-r-d-s, and what the words mean to you, that count.
I read Invincible's post, //www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=765297#i that gives 100 quotes from "The Secret" (Law of Attraction).
Throughout, the quotes simply say the same things, repeatedly, in different words and from slightly different angles.
I found myself liking that writing style...a reader might twig to one statement more than another, depending on their life experiences.
Then I came across something where a man told his daughter, "Tell your body to stop bleeding." (I forget the context of this statement.)
Bingo!
Not 'words' (plural)...a single word!
I've read dozens of articles, and sat through quite a few sessions where people have tried to program a belief very specifically. Perhaps this method is useful where one person is trying to transfer their belief in an exact statement to another person.
But, all the qualifications bother me. I think a person is liable to lose incentive and clarity in the very qualifications they hope will make the belief exact.
I mean, you say 'Lollipop' to a kid, and instantly the child has a picture of their favorite...perfect down to the last detail...color and all.
Say 'Sunset' to me, and my head turns over my right shoulder to see a blaze of orange and peaches and rose of an Arizona sky, BEHIND me!
If I say, 'Restore' to myself, I know exactly what I mean. That means restore certain specific parts, and then the whole, to a time before age and damage influenced me differently.
From a long time ago, I know that every cell in my body knows how to be 16...not that I intend to BE 16 today, just that this conglomeration of cells knows how...and my brain has already recorded ALL of what I mean when I say a single word.
Well, I tried a few of these nice single words as I was falling asleep two nights ago.
I enjoyed saying them.
The next reaction I noticed was my feet automatically doing the stretch/flex exercises they need to...rapidly...as though in bursts. I just let them happen as I drifted out.
Then I had pleasant dreams, instead of the confusing ones. Sleep interuptions still happened, but I no longer minded. I just went back to sleep, knowing that I would awaken refreshed and alert, should any real emergency arise. (I got that one from a stage hypnotist I once saw.)
I was drowsily aware that all was well.
In the morning I awoke feeling happy. You know, that kind of happiness a child feels that here is another nice and interesting day.
I've been allowing myself to lie down and sleep whenever, to reprogram my nighttime sleeping hours. Yesterday and today I awakened from naps with no grogginess.
I have a 'lights out' policy for the evenings...I go to bed when I feel sleepy, 7 to 9 p.m.
Last night I had more pleasant dreams, and rose at 4 a.m. this morning, again in serene child-like happiness. I feel it now, at the end of the afternoon.
I look forward to going to bed early. It is nice to enfold myself, and to think of a single-word instruction or two that will send me happily to dreamland.
I don't know about any 'law' but I certainly feel attracted.
My best,

This is a reply to # 790,024I Love your post fledgling!!
I found that to be so insightful and beautifully simple.
One word - and allow the body who understands the mechanic of the word to do the work!! Simple commands.
Relax/Peace are the ones I usually use.
But I loved your word "RESTORE"
How perfect is that?? Wow!
It reminds me that when something is up with my computer, all I do is go back to a time when it was functioning well, and run the 'System Restore' function on it. And then all is great once more.
Profound!
Thank you!!

MoreThis is a reply to # 790,239Do you know, it is 12:35 a.m. now, and I didn't go to bed early as I had planned.
Instead, I sat here at this computer and surfed the web on a couple of particularly nasty parasites...pictures no less.
I fell asleep in this chair, doing so.
I didn't learn anything from the exercise, except NOT to do that, especially when it's nearly my bedtime...my nice new bedtime I was so looking forward to. Sheesh!
Still, it is so pleasant to strike a harmonious chord with you.
Think I'll start afresh, and try my new method of going to sleep once more.
Nighty-night.

This is a reply to # 790,257...I got some refreshing sleep, then I was up again, and right back to this computer.
I found a post by Esme90 where she suggests H2O2, and vinegar, are helpful in the task I was researching. An Aha! moment.
You are absolutely right, Invincible...the words 'out', 'dead', and 'restore' are perfect in such a situation.
I add them to the protocol I am writing.
I also think there is merit in not 'taking ownership' of any undesirable event or situation. To me, the undesirable isn't part of either the original, or the eventual whole person...the real person everyone is, always, know it or not.
Now to research the simple uses of H2O2...my friends will be delighted.
The 3% H2O2 (Hydrogen-Peroxid) we buy at the drugstore contains chemical stablizers, right? So we need to get the 35% without stablizers, and dilute it, correct?
Like I say, you know me, 'easy as pie'...well, would you believe that I have been fooling around with the idea that the very NAMES of good things have a beneficial effect?
I mean that the beets (beetroots) I read are excellent for thinning the bile, start doing so before they are home from the store! And the beauties I'll harvest next summer (young and with gorgeous leaves) nourish in anticipation!
All part of this perfect Universe...and no time or distance in between? Maybe so. Maybe so.
Whole, and complete.

This is a reply to # 790,257Where I say (above)...
"I also think there is merit in not 'taking ownership' of any undesirable event or situation. To me, the undesirable isn't part of either the original, or the eventual whole person...the real person everyone is, always, know it or not."
"...the undesirable isn't part of either the original..."
Doesn't sound correct. After all, undesirable as it may have been, it is part of our experience, right?
Well, at age 17 I had a large red pimple on the end of my nose. (Horrors!)
Luckily, I didn't have to look at it. I could avoid mirrors...and when I couldn't, I simply told myself that it would be gone soon, and dabbed some makeup on it.
Dealt with, and forgotten. An unimportant part of my life experience.
So, it seems we have discretionary powers. We get to choose what is important...what we will identify with...what we 'take ownership' of.
And, we can change our minds...at any time...before, during, or after.
We can reason it out, put it in a different perspective...or, we can simply say, 'Cancel', and smile.
Most certainly, we do not have to take our 'pimples' with us one moment longer than we wish to. They are simply 'possibilities' in our life experiences, and nothing to do with the beautiful part of the Universe we truly are.
I love to remember that when someone is showing their 'pimples'. "Cancel."
Make sense to you?

MoreThis is a reply to # 790,535Where we focus, energy goes.
changing attitude/perspective is also "delete/cancel" because it may cancel out the emotional attachment.
When my hair looks bad because I haven't got time to wash it, ... and have to get the kids to school and walk the dog, all I do is put on my favourite hat .. look in the mirror and say "cool" that's a cancelling of sorts :-)

This is a reply to # 790,024Did you take your 'screen name' from the Helen Reddy song? "...I am woman, I'm invincible, Take my hand."
When I first heard her sing it, I was amazed at those two words, together.
...........
As you can see, my 'Law of Attraction' theory is a work in progress. Learn by doing.
I stumble over words like 'intention' and 'focus'. Those sound like 'disciplines' of some kind, to me. ...Like trying to hammer this square peg into a round hole. Too many square corners!
Last night, putting myself to bed, I noticed that I was thinking, more or less, in single words...not in sentences...not elaborating, or going into any depth about 'why', or 'how', etc.
I was asleep in a twinkling, not even setting my subconscious any tasks. My feet did a bit of their 'exercise', and I noticed a kind of stillness in me. It was quite pleasant.
All last evening, when reading in various places on the CureZone, and my husband was watching TV, I had a sense that it would be better NOT to let some words into the environment.
It was as though the concept of single, uplifting words was penetrating my being as though THAT was the 'program'.
I saw lots of strange and amazing things in my reading; and I heard lots of stuff from the TV, but I was somewhat detached.
I did a little biographical reading on film stars, and read some things to my hubby, but that feeling of 'stillness' remained behind it all.
This a.m. I'm thinking that 'intention' and 'focus' are more a matter of ELIMINATING the background noise of constantly 'thinking', 'busy-ness', reaching for ideas, etc.
Maybe the struggle AGAINST things is the attention that attracts more of the same.
Maybe it is stillness that opens us to the things we prefer.
What do you think?

This is a reply to # 790,892Focusing while in stillness is very important. it's like using a frequency antenae!
I think all thoughts have a certain frequency .. and if we can cut out the background frequencies, we get more value from the focused frequency.- Re: Focusing while in stillness fledgling

This is a reply to # 790,978That makes sense.
I haven't really noticed 'stillness' before.
Of course, I've never tried single word thoughts, on a regular and deliberate basis, before.
It feels like one leads to the other. Single-word thoughts (knowing what you mean); soon, a feeling of quietness/stillness; and a sense that you don't want to hear, see, or entertain unfortunate or disturbing words.
Maybe it's a helpful thing that I am just completing a Humaworm parasite cleanse, that I have made a stab at a herbal liver cleanse, and all the good things I am doing in my 'life-style' choices.
Every little bit helps, they say.
Thanks for the feedback, Invincible.
I appreciate it.

This is a reply to # 790,978Stillness has been beneficial. I discovered I hold lots of my pain in my abdominal area. It became clear to me that this affected my breathing without even my awareness. So, I began to sit quietly with the focus on my breathing and began to experience a "letting go" in my abdomin. Along with the "letting go", the pain became emotionally unsettling. I knew this was something I had to do to heal "old" pain. I repeat--this was painful and I knew that I had to commit to letting the pain come up. It's hard but working. I have a lot to say about this process but for now I will only add that I am using it to bring more warmth to my hands and feet to cure my raynauds. Not perfect (yet), but definitely is helping. Thanks for listening. emotionally

This is a reply to # 796,026Thank you for sharing .. I agree that in order to allow old pain to heal, one must allow oneself to feel the pain.
feel free to share more if you like.

This is a reply to # 790,024enjoyed reading. thank you. I'm trying to learn that we all approach our mental/physical health differently as related to past experiences. Your post helped me with that. My modus operendi for dealing with my emotional health for the most part emerged from my primal therapy in the 70's. It taught me to "stay" with my pain (when possible). This process is slow but has been effective. I live alone (recent separation) and have to deal with the lonliness and neediness. I feel I could not have dealt with my relationship if I gave in and went back with my husband. I have learned to visit my family (children, grandchildren, husband) about once a month. I am learning to feel my lonliness and it usually connects to old pain--parents. This has allowed me to grow considerably finding that I am more comfortable with myself and when I am in pain or yearn for "someone" inorder to feel loved it seems to connect to "old" pain. If I "sit" with it; feel it in my gut it dissipates and the rest of my day goes more peacfully. It's a long, long process but does get better with time.

This is a reply to # 797,952Src,
I know exactly where you are.
That was the beginning for me, on my own, for the first time ever, and scared spitless.
It may seem like it takes forever, sometimes, but you'll find pride and self-worth often, a bit at a time...realization by realization.
It takes about a year...for everyone...but there are very happy accomplishments along the way. The very fact that you are 'allowed' to be different than ever before in your life is a most wonderful realization.
Too, you'll find that you'll release the negatives, maybe just by putting your arms around yourself and saying, "There, there, little one...you'll be okay, I'll take care of you."
...That's the adult you are becoming, comforting the child. The subconscious doesn't care WHO does the comforting...just as long as it gets done.
You don't even have to remember all the reasons 'why', just say the words. You'll see.
And, about the parents...the adult you are becoming will soothe their scolding. "It's okay now...I can handle this. Be unafraid. I am in charge."
Many wonderful things are ahead for you, Src.
For example, you'll forget to be sad, sometimes. You'll even get caught up in the interesting things around you, and have to remind yourself to be gloomy. Think not? Well, there is a 'law', you know.
It's this...
No one, absolutely NO ONE, can cry forever. It's a physical impossibility!
If you need to shout and cry, okay...but put a time limit on it. Fifteen minutes - NO longer!
And get yourself a team to watch and listen, and to cheer when you do a particularly good rant.
NO advice allowed!!! All your team can do is cheer...for the fifteen minutes. Then you march to the bathroom and splash cold water on your face. All over. All done!
Now what's next on my list?
And tuck yourself into bed, safe in the knowledge that you can handle whatever comes.
In fact, you will come up smelling of roses. You'll see.
Pat yourself on your back with your beautiful hands. You are doing very well for one who didn't know how, just a short time ago.
All these nice things you do for yourself, as your own best friend, pay off, even if you don't believe, yet.
Do them anyhow. You deserve to be treated very, very nicely.
Do it, and it comes true.
When you find yourself doubting...laugh! And laugh in between times, just in case Fledgling is right.
It can't hurt...unless they come and take you away. (Grin!)
Besides, no one tells us one year from when!
You've been working on this for at least eight years.
How do I know that?
Well, you don't think you are the ONLY one, do you?
Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again! It's your privilege, and your joy!.
Happy, happy Christmas, Src!
With you!

This is a reply to # 798,002Oh yes...one more thing!
Don't try to spend your way out of unhappiness. It doesn't work. All you end up with is a bunch of heavy baggage that you can't dump in a hurry.
This is a time of transition. Honor that, and travel light!
If you absolutely MUST have stuff, shop garage sales...and make your purchases quite suitable for selling, as a package, to the next tenant.
And, don't try to eat your way out, either. Or drink. Or medicate.
Take your licks, if you must, in feeling bad...no more than 15 minutes at a time.
Then get on with creating your own 'circle of warmth', into which you can invite the new people who will become your friends.
Be choosy.

This is a reply to # 798,002Thank you so much for the support. It's an amazing transformation to be peaceful and enjoy my own company. Even though I was invited to friends homes for Christmas, I just wanted to stay home by myself. When I visit my husband/grandchildren in Jan.,it will continue to be a challange. I don't want to come across to my husband as cold/detached since that seems to say "anger", resentment. I am learning that we have played out that dynamic for close to 50 years. I always had the feeling that he played the victim and I was the bitch. No more. That behavior has to be over.
As for a physical transformation, I focus on staying "loose" in my belly. As I mentioned I belive I am helping my blood flow everytime I "discover" I am holding in my pain. I let it go and focus on letting the blood flow to my fingers/toes while allowing my abdomen to extend with each breath. Yes, sometimes that means feeling what the pain is about or just breathing WITHOUT "knowing" and that's ok since I trust it will come up. I am just being patient and it doesn't take much effort to just let it all be. It's early in this process but I feel it's helping. Again, thank you so much.

This is a reply to # 797,952Maybe we all get there by different routes, or in the middle of different emotional experiences, but I think there is a point of peace that we arrive at.
However we get there, there are moments of clarity and a whole new outlook that surprise us because we haven't known them before.
We can't plan them because we don't know what to 'arrange', but once we've arrived, we know forever that's exactly where we want to be, always.
Then we need to be open to those lovely moments, whenever.
It's only a matter of decluttering, I think.
Maybe just a step to the side of our usual concerns.
My best,
