Law of Attraction: Setting Your Preferences for Maximum Attraction

Would life be different if you believed that everything you love and enjoy is just right for you?

What would happen if you knew yourself so well you could say with confidence, "No thank you, I prefer..."

How would you look at others if you really understood that their choices are perfect for them?

The Law of Attraction teaches us to recognize our personal preferences by noticing how things feel and asking ourselves, "Which feels better? This or that?" When we take the time to notice our feelings, we learn about ourselves in a way that leads to great personal freedom and happiness.

Before I learned about the Law of Attraction and how I attract people, situations and opportunities in complete accord with my vibration (vibes), I tried to live by a set of standards or principles. I remember a time when I asked my pastor if he could give me a list of these principles so I could make sure I was living the right way. I did everything I could to be the perfect mother, dutiful housewife and selfless Christian. I thought that by conforming to what other people expected, I would become happy, too. I was NOT a happy, joyful person. I was a person in great emotional and eventually physical, pain.

But the Law of Attraction taught me to notice when something doesn't feel good, because that feeling of discomfort is an indicator that something is NOT good for me. Anything out of alignment with who I am and all the purposes I came to fulfill will NOT feel good. WOW! I had been placing my hand on a hot stove and trying to feel comfortable with the pain. I'd lived with chronic emotional and physical pain for so long that I was becoming numb to it. (A third degree burn is painless because all the nerve endings are burned away.)

One day, the truth finally dawned on me: Only I can choose what is best for me. No one can tell me what is good for me -- only I can tell. And the way I tell is by noticing how everything feels, then looking for the thought, answer, idea or thing that feels best.

"Good feels good. Bad feels bad." Abraham-Hicks

Knowing and honoring my personal preferences causes me to fulfill ALL my life purposes -- naturally. Everything I set out to do during this lifetime is already programmed within me. The way I "read the program'" is to notice what brings me great joy and follow that lead. In fact, this is the shortest and easiest way to find fulfillment. Before I learned about the Law of Attraction, I felt like I had lost 30 years of my life by trying to endure a poor marriage. But within 5 years of applying the Law of Attraction in the way described in this article, I felt caught up on life. About two years ago, I had a profound realization: "Today, I am exactly where I would be, if I had done the first 55 years of my life differently." That is a GREAT feeling!

Now I tell my students: "Your personal preferences are as unique to you as your fingerprints. Only you can do certain things in this life and your preferences are there to guide you into actually living life in the most joyfully satisfying way!"

What about you? Are you seeing yourself in this light? Have you wondered why you don't fit in with the crowd? Are you ready to accept yourself and your preferences as being right for YOU?

Divine Intervention in Attempted Suicide

“I need help!” The voice on the other end of the phone line sounded weak, groggy and frightened—it took a few seconds to figure out who was speaking. It was “Mary,” a new friend. “Where are you, Mary?” I could tell that something was seriously wrong. “I’m in the General Hospital. Can you come and help me?”

As soon as I was able to leave the house, I drove to the hospital—all the while wondering: “Why did she ask for me? We hardly know each other.”

I found Mary lying in a hospital bed that was totally disheveled—dried vomit was obvious by appearance and smell. Her hair was wild and matted with more vomit. Her mascara had obviously smeared across the pillow. She was pale -- very pale -- and shaky.

“What has happened? Why are you here?” I asked.

“I tried to kill myself,” she replied. “And everyone is angry with me. The nurses have not helped me comb my hair, or wash my face even.”

“Tell me about it,” I invited while I opened her nightstand and found the basin, soap and a washrag. I filled it wit warm water, then sat on her bed and began gently wiping the tears from her face.

“Roger and I split up,” she began. “He had the kids this weekend and I was so depressed I took a whole bottle of sleeping pills. I wanted to die.”

Considering the fact that Mary was barely five feet tall and weighed may be 95 pounds, I wondered if she had really ingested a full bottle of pills.

“How many did you take?” I asked softly.

“I’m not sure. They told me they found 34 pills undigested when they pumped my stomach.”

“Oh, then someone found you right away?” I was being quite logical.

“No, actually, that’s why I called you. I was not found until my husband brought the children home—48 hours after I had swallowed the pills.”

I was quiet for a few minutes as I took it all in. Rationally, that was not possible. Yet here she was alive, although a bit rough looking.

Her next comment really surprised me. “I thought of you right away. Remember the day you came to my house and told me that God loves me?” I nodded my head. “Well, my husband and I had a good laugh at you. We thought you were a ‘nut-job’ for doing that. But when I came to from having my stomach pumped, you and your words where flooding my mind. That’s why I called you.”

I had finished bathing her face, neck, chest and arms. I could not find a hair brush, so I took the comb from my purse and began gently combing her hair.

“Do you believe me now?” I asked kindly.

“Well, someone must love me. I should have died and well -- here I am alive.”

Mary did live. In a few months she and her husband re-married and the last I heard they were expecting child number six!

As I reflect on this entire event, I can now see how Mary’s soul had reached out to my soul when we first met. With my mind, I thought we had become friends because we were both doctor’s wives with five children. Our family similarity had created a little “bond” between us. At that time, I was a little “missionary”—full of faith in God and eager to share my faith with anyone who would listen. I had not yet learned the “golden rule” which states: “If they haven’t asked the question, they don’t want to hear the answer.”

At the same time I was full of zeal, I was also paying attention to little “Spirit nudges”—those soft, gentle nudges to do something that wasn’t on my agenda for the day. Sometimes the nudge would be to phone someone and encourage or just listen to them. At other times the nudge would be stronger and I would stop in the middle of doing the dishes and go see that person. It was just such a nudge from Spirit that prompted me to visit Mary that day. Of course, my rational mind needed an excuse to visit her and the most important message of God’s love was primary in my heart. So she got the whole speech! When I left her house that day, I simply turned it over to Spirit and did not worry about how well she received that “good news.” I had done my part. And now, Spirit had done its part in demonstrating God’s love to her and keeping her alive.

You may be wondering what this story has to do with the Law of Attraction. Actually, it has everything to do with the Law of Attraction on a deep soul level. When we first learn about the Law of Attraction, we become aware of how it works—we become conscious of it and we start monitoring our thoughts. That’s a beginner’s awareness: “LOA 101.” Now, we are growing and evolving in our understanding that something inside us is a very powerful magnet and it is drawing to us situations which bypass our conscious mind.

This powerful magnet is our soul. Our subconscious mind is very connected to our soul. And our soul has a direct line of communication to our “supra-conscious mind” or Divine Mind. Our souls communicate with one another in ways our minds cannot grasp. It is very non-linear and on a very high level of consciousness that is wordless—pure vibration.

You don’t have to be a guru meditating on a mountain top for hours every day to recognize your soul’s messages to you. Just pay attention to those little “nudges,” little “inklings,” little “hunches”—remember your soul needs your body to cooperate even though it does not make rational sense. You don’t have to understand it; you just have to respond to the ‘nudge.’

You may not realize how many people are alive today, because you followed that nudge and spoke kindly, bought them a meal or simply said a prayer for them. It could be the person standing in front of you at the bank has thoughts of suicide, yet their soul timed it so your soul would stand in close proximity.

Your soul is Life! Will you acknowledge your soul and choose to honor it to the best of your ability? Nothing more is required.

Divorce Can Be Positive

For almost 30 years Rebecca Hanson had deliberately ignored her feelings so that she could endure a painful relationship. Now, she realizes that her feelings were an inner guidance system, given to her as a means of discovering a life of joy, peace, fulfillment and true service to others.

"If something feels good to me, it is good for me and everyone around me benefits," says a smiling Rebecca.

Little by little and with deliberate consistency, Rebecca applied the Law of Attraction to every aspect of her life including her personal relationships, health, business and real estate transactions.

In 1997, Rebecca Hanson was living in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the 'Siberia' of Canada, struggling to find her own identity. Many years earlier, she had given up her career so that her physician husband could have his. With a husband who was seldom at home, she raised five children, two of whom are mentally challenged. After ending the long frustrating marriage, she was faced with finding a way to support herself. Rebecca was ripe for a new framework from which to make decisions when she encountered the Law of Attraction. Now she owns three successful companies, teaches and coaches others in how to live their dreams, and lives in a luxury condo in Victoria, B.C., Canada--one of North America's most sought after cities.

Ten years ago, Rebecca was pretty much on her own in understanding and applying the Law of Attraction. Now, it seems as if millions of people have opened their hearts and minds to the Law of Attraction, quantum physics and levels of calibrated consciousness.

Today, people are eagerly asking how they can use the Law of Attraction to achieve positive outcomes--even in what is typically seen as a negative situation like divorce.

"All my life I have been a natural teacher and coach to others. I had such a strong desire to help people that I became a Registered Nurse and married a doctor. Little did I know that my desire to work as a nurse would be thwarted almost immediately after we tied the knot! But I found ways to use my nurses' training and natural gifts. In 1970 I wrote the entire curriculum for training teenage volunteers to work in rural hospitals. This effort was noticed and used for more than 30 years by the Northern Alberta Red Cross. I volunteered to teach women's Bible classes and wrote many inspirational articles.

In 1978 our Down's syndrome daughter (our fourth child) was born and in 1980 we adopted a Down's syndrome baby who had been abandoned at birth. Through all the ups and downs of raising five children almost single-handedly, I carried a false hope that if I just sacrificed a little more, my husband would notice and care for me.

One day I woke up. It took a huge amount of courage to insist that he respect me. I remember once we were in a counseling situation and he said to the counselor, “She wants me to respect her! What will she do if I won't?” It was as if I had been sleep-walking the entire time we had been married and in a moment I came to: “If he hasn't noticed me by now, it isn't going to happen.”

Shortly after that epiphany, I left. And soon after leaving him, I discovered the Law of Attraction and I never looked back!

Yes, people told me, ‘You are sinning against God.’ The real sin was tolerating another person's disdain and discounting of how wonderful and valuable a person I was! By agreeing with my husband, I made God into a pretty sorry Creator. So I let the religious community judge me as sinful and him as a saint.

Yes, people told me, ‘You will endure financial hardship if you divorce him’. They had no idea and could not wrap their minds around the truth: that I was used to living on very little money.

Yes, I had been out of the workforce for 30 years and no longer had my RN license. No, I did not know how I would survive.

This I knew to be true: If I will pay attention to what feels good and right to me, I will be fine and so will my children.

It was hard work changing my mind-set from negative whining, bitter complaining and being the victim to always looking for and finding something good to say about everything!

It took WAY more patience than I had developed to wade through 4 1/2 years of legal mumbo-jumbo and go through a trial! Raising severely physically and mentally challenged children was a cake-walk compared to the patience and fortitude it took to stand my ground and believe that I am worth more than you are offering.

What this long-drawn out procedure did FOR me was help me develop strength, discover MORE natural gifts (I'm a total geek with the Internet), become authentic and blossom into the wonderful, caring, loving person I had hidden from.

Today, I totally GET IT! The Law of Attraction is bringing to each one of us the precise set of circumstances necessary to bring us back to LIFE! If you find yourself in the midst of divorce, wondering if there is a way to turn this into something good--then YES, YES, YES!”

Cosmic Attraction

THREE LEVELS OF AWARENESS

Currently, the Law of Attraction teaching that is readily available to the public deals with the first level of consciousness: Awakening. Becoming aware of the Law and discovering how it works.

This is a very conscious level and a necessary one, for until we believe in our hearts that this Universal Law does indeed work and we have evidence in the material world, we can go no further. we offer many articles, books and TeleClasses (telephone training) which can awaken and strengthen you while going through this level. Most people stay on this level for years, some never progress, but a few of you have already.

You know you've entered the second level of consciousness regarding the Law of Attraction when you begin addressing the subconscious beliefs that no longer serve you. Meditation, introspection, deliberate observation and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) are applied rigorously to flush out those unnecessary beliefs and replace them with life-giving Truth. This phase may take six months to a year or more to complete. Our six-module Certified Law of Attraction Practitioner Audio Program is designed to facilitate your journey.

Cosmic Attraction^TM: A Higher State of Attraction Consciousness

An even smaller, but significant, number of people are currently entering a higher level of understanding and application of the Law of Attraction. At this level, the individual identifies their highest potential outcomes and allows the vision of their potential to regulate their life.

This is what we call Cosmic Attraction^TM--allowing your role in the order and harmony of the Universe to pull you into your Greatness. As you are drawn into Higher levels of Conscious Awareness, each level confronts resistance in the form of basic human instincts and complicated ego strategies. With support, you will learn how to release the causes of resistance and apply the gentle antidote of surrender to your Higher State. At this level, you are drawn by the vision into your greatness; where as before your focus was on attracting "things" to you.

As you grow in your understanding of and the evolution of consciousness, your desire to express pure love to others grows stronger. As you approach the consciousness level of "Unconditional Love" (540 on a scale of 1,000) miracles begin to happen. People are healed of terminal illness, others regain their life from a deep coma, money shows up in wondrous ways and relationships are healed of decades of hurt and resentment. I know about this level of consciousness from experience. For over 30 years I have witnessed and participated in dozens of miracles. Only now, do I have the liberty to talk about them. If you are drawn to learn more about this growingg of Advanced Applications of the Law of Attraction. This year (2008) we are offering live 90-minute monthly TeleClasses designed to help launch you into your cosmic greatness! awareness, please join us as we develop this teachin

Miracles: Autistic Boy Miraculously Escapes Scalding

You know how a movie will show you an accident in show motion? What is about to happen is really bad and you know that in reality it only took a spit second, but the film is slowed down so it takes 10 to 20 seconds to show you the entire event. That’s how I felt as I was preparing supper that evening.

Matthew’s tiny fingers s-l-o-w-l-y reached out and touched the boiling water as it dripped through the holes in the colander. I froze. Next I saw his entire hand under the colander. I was stunned and it seemed like it took f-o-r-e-v-e-r for me to set aside the pan of fresh cooked green beans.

“Oh, my God!” I screamed, as I grabbed his tiny wrist.

Erick, the eldest of our five kids heard the commotion and came running to see what had happened. I sent him across the street to see if any doctors were attending a church function at that moment.

“Cold water!” the command came from somewhere deep inside me. As quickly as I could, I turned on the cold water tap and held his tiny hand in it.

“Please God,” I prayed, “Let there be a doctor there who can tell me what to do.”

Poor Matthew! Born with Down’s syndrome and, as I suspected, autism, his sense of self was so undeveloped he never cried as a baby. At nine months of age he underwent heart surgery and the only sound he made during his recovery was quiet grunting. I had to plead with the nurses to give him an analgesic—they did not believe he was in pain: “Because he isn’t crying,” they said. The nurses could not understand that he had never cried, even as a newborn—he never cried when he was hungry or in wet diapers. I did every thing for him according to a schedule. Matthew received only one dose of Tylenol while in the hospital for heart surgery. Can you imagine?

Today he did not cry. He was oblivious to the heat of scalding water upon his tender skin.

My thoughts raced ahead to possible treatment for a burn and how he might react to having his hand bandaged. I knew he would not understand how important it would be to keep bandages in place! What will we do? Oh, hurry, Erick, bring help!

“There are no doctors at the church,” Erick reported.

My heart was pounding so hard! What could I do for him now? As I continued to pray and ask God for help, I caught sight of a canister sitting on top of the refrigerator. The label said, “Liquid bandage.” I gently dried Matthew’s hand and sprayed the liquid bandage all over his hand.

Closing my eyes, I prayed once again, “Please God, show me what to do!” When I opened my eyes, I held one of Matthew’s hands in each of mine. I held them next to eachother—wondering if I was just imagining things: Both hands were the same normal color. There was no way to tell for sure which hand he had placed in scalding water. They were both normal. There were no blisters, not even redness—not at that moment and not later.

I don’t know how to explain what happened that day—other than by praying for help and guidance Matthew was granted a miracle.

What this event did for me is also difficult to put into words. It felt like someone was orchestrating events beyond my control—events designed to prove that miracles can and do happen—to ordinary people—today!

Synchronicity: 6 Factors Leading to a Miraculous Recovery from Herpes Encephalitis

“Three men have died from herpes encephalitis,” my physician husband told me. “We’re having a little epidemic here.”

A request had just come through our church’s prayer chain: “Pray that God will heal a 12-year old boy who is in a coma from herpes encephalitis.”

There was something about the severity of this situation that called for more than a glib compliance with the prayer request. Besides, I have a “truth and justice” voice inside me that does not allow me to comply with something I do not believe is possible. Knowing the low survival rate for herpes encephalitis, I did not believe at that time recovery could be possible.

I could not pray as I was told. However, I did pray, “God, show me how to pray for this child.” Next, I held my closed Bible between the palms of both hands, suspended all thinking and allowed my thumbs to open the book intuitively. I know. I know. People say you are not supposed to do that. They argue, “What if you are told to do something totally out of context?” Well, I was asking God how I should pray for this boy and at that time in my life, the only way I could be certain the answer was coming from God, was to look in the Bible.

“Show me how to pray,” I whispered as I opened the book. As I glanced over the two pages of Psalm 27, verse 13 seemed to stand out to me:

“I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.”(NASB)

What could this mean? Was this a promise from God that the boy would live? I spoke a soft prayer, “God, if this is really you speaking through this verse, then I believe he will be healed.” I decided to keep this to myself since it seemed to fly in the face of rational facts, and it felt safer to keep it inside my heart.

A few days later I was at the hospital with one of my kids, when I saw the boy’s mother. We went for coffee and I asked her, “So how is he?” Sadly, she shook her head and replied, “The doctors say there is little hope. He is brain-dead or will be soon.”

At that moment I remembered the Bible verse, so I asked the mother, “What does God say?” Her eyes lit up and a smile stretched across her face. In a hushed tone, she whispered, “Now that’s another matter! God tells me that all is well. But I’m his mother. Maybe that is just wishful thinking.”

“Maybe not,” I pulled a small Bible from my purse. “Listen to this verse I was drawn to while praying for your son.” I read it slowly and carefully, so she could receive the full meaning behind it. "I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living." When I was done, our eyes met; we both stood up and embraced each other!

“Let’s keep this as our secret,” the mother suggested.

“I agree. It is our secret.” I promised.

Her son did not die. Gradually he came back to life. It was a long journey, but today he is alive and well. I remember seeing him when he was about 19 years old — he had such a sweet expression on his face that I wondered if he had been with angels. I also found out that he could drive a car and had his driver’s license. I was told he went downhill skiing with his friends on weekends. He missed about a year of school and had to learn how to read all over again, but in the grand scheme of things, that is very little.

As I look back upon this miracle — one of the first miracles in which I participated -- I see a number of key factors were at work:

1. Acceptance of the diagnosis was a big step. Often people simply do not want to accept what is presenting in the moment. Denial and suppression are never constructive.

2. Integrity was vital. My desire for truth led me to seek a higher level of information. Sometimes it seems easier to go along with the crowd, but this experience taught me to pay attention to the resistance I feel when confronted with someone’s “wishful thinking.”

3. I trusted my intuition. Intuition is our built-in guidance system. Some people get a “gut feeling”; others get “goose bumps”; while some folks seem to have a “knowing.” In this case, my intuition drew my attention to that specific Bible verse.

4. I carefully guarded this precious spiritual insight. If I had tried to tell the doctors, “God told me the boy will live,” and they reacted negatively to this message, they could have created doubt in my heart and it’s possible the boy might have died instead.

5. Power was multiplied exponentially when two of us agreed. “If two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.” (Matthew 18:19) David R. Hawkins in Truth vs. Falsehood, page 38, states that one person vibrating in unconditional love counterbalances the negativity of 750,000 people in a negative state, how much more powerful are two people?

6. We celebrated the signs along the way toward the completion of this miracle! Sometimes a miracle occurs in a moment. Other times, it takes months or years to fully unfold. I remember celebrating with gratitude each milestone this young man reached during his lengthy recovery. His mother and I kept our secret with each other…until now.

Looking back on this miraculous event, I can clearly see how the affirmation we are using during “A Year of Miracles” is precise and true:

Even though this situation looks bad (or hopeless or endless) I am opening a Window of Possibility to an unexpected outcome.

When two people hold open a Window of Possibility, even the impossible becomes possible and miracles happen.
