Its so simple and so effective.  The first time I wrote this I was living in Long Island, New York.  To be honest I wasn’t in a very good space mentally, physically or emotionally.  I had spent the past 3 years at home with my two babies, and was exhausted, and certainly not in flow.  It was a desperate lurch to get myself back into the groove and out of the funk I had allowed myself to sink into, so I had an ‘all or nothing’ approach to it, and with hindsight I think that’s why the first year was so phenomenal for me – I had a huge list of things I wanted to turn around including the continent I lived in, the work I was doing, my relationship with my kids, my husband, myself, my diet and well-being, my emotional state, my community….a pretty long list!

So I just went for it, I figured, I have nothing to loose – its only paper and ink

What you do is write the date a year ahead at the top of the page, ie Jan 1st 2011, then you begin “What an incredible year its been!…” or something similar.  Then you write about all the different aspects of your life that you would like to see change, it could be your ‘perfect home’, your ‘perfect relationship’ or your ‘perfect job’ and ideally should cover all aspects of your life that are important to you – run into several pages and make it as rich and juicy and exciting as you dare!

Here’s the synopsis of how much stretch I put into mine: (bear in mind I was living in the USA at the time I wrote this and we were settled in a home we owned, my husband was working for a multi-national, and Singapore was nowhere near our discussion list, neither was leaving the US)

1. I wanted to live in Singapore
2. I wanted to celebrate my 40th birthday in Bali with ALL my family, and siblings
3. I wanted to be teaching regularly again
4. I wanted to be doing something worthwhile with my brain again
5. and a whole bunch of personal emotional and relationship balance stuff.

In one year, I achieved all that.  Some aspects were different to what I had imagined, and some took slightly more than a year to actualize, but in all cases I saw massive progress.  So you can see why I now do this every year!

I think part of the magic is in focusing yourself on what you want, and being honest about what aspects of your life are far from ideal.  For example, if you write ‘I had a wonderfully nurturing year with my husband and our relationship just grows from strength to strength’ and you choke on your tea as you write this – then you know you have some work in this area!  The same goes for anything you write, ‘my job fulfills and excites me, I created so much value this year with my projects and connections with my team that my boss gave me a substantial raise! I can’t wait to see what this year holds for me’…etc.  Just go for it, whatever makes you excited, passionate, whatever would make you deeply fulfilled and happy, get it all down on paper and create some energy around it.

Eva asked us to be very specific, eg, my boss gave me a raise of $20,000! but I have to say that personally I find such specifics limiting, I prefer words like ‘huge’ or ’substantial’ or ‘bigger than I could imagine!’  I also focus more on the kind of feelings I want, rather than the type of ‘behaviour’ I want, eg. I would prefer to write “my children and I continue to develop a loving and fulfilling relationship based on deep respect for each other” as it helps to be my guiding light – when I am shouting at my kids to ‘hurry up’ I can do a quick check, is this ‘loving’ or ‘fulfilling’ or ‘respectful’?  This is much more effective at changing behaviour then writing ‘my children are incredible, they are so polite and obedient all the time’ which sort of sets you up for failure right there and then

Once you have your Ideal Scene,then just move towards it, one step at a time, you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve in a year!

Our fun Law of Attraction workshop gets you thinking differently and introduces you to games and techniques you can put into practice to begin seeing positive change in your life.

The style of Law of Attraction that Elaine teaches is based on Esther Hicks’ book ‘Ask and it is Given’ and is based on the teachings of Abrahams.

The key component that this teaching offers is the power our EMOTIONS play in creating our quality of life.

You are what you think (or more accurately what you feel).  What you feel spills out in your words and actions and that, over time, creates your life.  Simply by changing the quality of your thinking can change the quality of your life.   However, simply changing the way you talk is not going to change much if your emotional life does not correspond.  Our emotional state never lies, so by paying attention to that, we can shift our emotional ‘vibration’ much more quickly and we can look forward to a more genuine shift in thinking and action.

If you have played with dream boards, affirmations, and other tools yet found it not effective, try it with an emotional twist – you’ll be amazed at the results!  Our fun Law of Attraction evening gets you thinking differently and introduces you to games and techniques you can put into practice to begin seeing positive change in your life.

This technique is very effective for people who want to become the creator and not the victim, and for those who wish to feel extremely excited about life!

Take for example five different days when you walk down a dark alley and you see a homeless man sitting next to a dumpster.  Imagine you have had a particularly fearful day or you are in a very fearful mood – the world seems dark, foreboding and unkind – disaster is lurking at every corner (you just watched the news!).  Walking down this alley is already filling you with unease, you spot the homeless man and notice the likely thoughts running through your mind. “He’s going to mug me” ,“He’s going to rape me”.   Notice the level of stress and anxiety running through your body.  Notice how tense and upset you feel when he reaches out his hand to you.  Likely you turn and run down the street away from him.  Imagine the story you would tell your friends and family about your ‘narrow escape’.

Now imagine you have had a terrible day with people you despise, you are in a rage and you feel like you are about to explode you are so angry.  Same alley, same homeless man.  This time you look at him and what are the thoughts coming to you now – what is the thinking you are now accessing?  “Good for nothing”, “Lazy, incompetent, parasite”.  He reaches his hand out to you.  Do you hit him, kick him – in your mind maybe, if not in reality.  There is violence in your thoughts and violence in your environment.  You can imagine how that life would pan out if you continued to sit in anger day after day.

Next mood, you’ve had a disappointing day, you’re feeling deflated and hopeless.  Overwhelmed and unhappy with life.  Feeling small and insignificant – ‘nothing goes my way’.  You walk down the alley and see the man.  Maybe you burst into tears, see him as a total summary of your life, a sign for how low you’ve also sunk.  He holds out his hand and you just shrug – you feel as poor and hopeless as him, what can you possibly offer him?

Shifting up a gear now, you walk down the alley in an optimistic mood.  Life is good, you feel happy, optimistic and enthused by life.  You feel the universe is kind and loving and you feel very blessed and excited about life.  You see the homeless man, what do you do? Sit next to him and chat awhile, share your lunch with him, share a touch of kindness with him?  He holds out his hand and you give him ten bucks, or fifty.  You smile and it feels good.

Finally, imagine you are in total joy, vibrating in truth and love, empowered.  You walk down the alley, you see the man.  He holds out his hand, don’t you give him everything you have?  Don’t you hold him, hug him, touch him with your love?  You walk out and you have blessed another human being with your love.  You have gone from me me me to service.

This is the way to change the world, this is the way to make a difference – through your own vibration and not through fear or anger or raging at the world and what it has or hasn’t done for you, to you.  Notice the same man in all these scenarios, just a different you.  This is a microcosm of your life, you react to every single incident in your life based on the level you are vibrating at, what you are feeling and thinking and your filters.  Minute by minute, day by day – your life really shouldn’t be any surprise to you, you created it.

You can change it too by simply focusing on your vibration, how are you feeling today and how do you feel better.  There are so many amazing techniques in both law of attraction and the Work of Byron Katie to help you shift up and up in your energy and in so doing in experiencing a totally new level of life.

1. Let’s take the asking bit. Firstly most of us ask for what we DON’T want:

• I don’t want to be in debt! should be I want to be prosperous!
• I want to lose weight should be I want to be slim
• I don’t want this illness should be I want to be in perfect health

Often we make the mistake of focusing on what we don’t want, and unfortunately, with the Law of Attraction, this just guarantees we get more of it! The more we don’t want to be in debt, the more energy and thought we give to the idea of being in debt – the more debt we get! Yikes!! The more we focus on our weight, the more attention and thought we give to our weight – the more weight we get!! Etc. So the first difficulty with getting what you want, is actually knowing what it is you want, then asking for it in a positive way.

2. Giving what you want your full, positive, highly attractive attention! Here’s the stumbling block for many and the embedded Abrahams-Hicks video if a superb example of this. Most of us focus on the negative, we focus on the lack of what we haven’t got and we rarely spend time daydreaming about how fabulous it will be when we have it.

Let’s say we want peace and contentment – yet most of the time we focus on the fact we are so stressed and out of balance. Law of Attraction will keep giving us what we focus on, so we will get even more stress and imbalance. Focusing on what you want means spending time ‘practicing’ peace and contentment. The more you practice, the better you get, the better you get, the more you get! It seems so obvious (which is why I said it is SO simple, yet so hard) but to us it seems mildly ridiculous to pretend something we are not. All the experts agree however, the more you practice something, the better you become. 5 minutes a day practicing peace and contentment soon turns into 10 into 20 etc. Soon you life may still be in total chaos, yet you will remain in peace – law of attraction in action!

3. Finally, allowing. Why is this so hard? Well, think about what you truly want, deep in your heart – then think – do I really believe 100% that I can a. have it and b. deserve it? You’ll be amazed. Michael Losier author of ‘Law of Attraction’ says the speed of your manifestation ie. How quickly what you want comes into being, is directly related to your level of doubt. If you have zero doubt you can have something it comes to you immediately. If you have some doubt if you can have something, it may take a while. If you have 100% doubt you can have something, you never will.

Personally I think this is the key to using Law of Attraction – remove all doubt, and you will manifest immediately. However, as this is a stretch for most of us the great thing is, by making small changes in our use of words and our thoughts we can make big changes in the way we attract good things into our lives.
