The “secret” to mastering the Law of Attraction is to feel good. This may not seem like a big secret. In fact, it’s so simple and straightforward that it can easily go unnoticed. It would be easier, in a way, if the secret was to memorize a long and difficult chant or mantra in an exotic foreign language while sitting in a special position with our hands clasped in exactly the right position. This might initially be more difficult, but it would be more in line with the way our minds normally work: mastering a difficult task and getting a result when you’ve completed it. Feeling good sounds simpler, but it can be hard to master.
The other problem people have with feeling good about mastering the Law of Attraction is that it’s a bit of a Catch-22. In other words, you are probably interested in the Law of Attraction in the first place so that you can improve your life, so that you feel better. If you have to feel better first, how can you even start? It’s a bit like saying, “The secret to having enough to eat is finding a lot of food.” To get past this catch-22 quandary, we need to look at it a little closer.
Most people, in fact, do not want to master the Law of Attraction in order to feel better. Well, ultimately that’s what they want, but on a conscious level they think they want more money, an attractive lover, a better job, or a new car. They focus on the physical manifestations rather than the feeling they think they’ll get from these things. This is one of the main obstacles in the process. Once we consciously understand that our true goal is to feel good or be happy, then we are that much closer to mastering this “secret” of the Law of Attraction.
While we can use the Law of Attraction to drastically improve any aspect of our lives, we can’t always directly impact physical reality. I mean, we can’t just snap our fingers and have a million dollars appear on the table in front of us. However, we can, with a little attention, put ourselves in a state of abundance. In other words, we can open ourselves to receive a million dollars, or whatever we want. However, by trying too hard to manifest a specific physical event, object, or person, we subtly but importantly misunderstand how the universe works and often unnecessarily slow the process down.
When we consciously set our intention on the goal of feeling good, or at least feeling better than we do now, we are heading in the right direction. If, for example, you find yourself depressed by the lack of money, there are several ways to react.
1) “I never have enough money.”
2) “Why don’t I ever have enough money?”
3) “I don’t have enough money right now.”
4) “How can I attract more money?”
5) “How can I feel more abundant than I feel right now?”
6) “I gradually feel more and more abundant and magnetic to money and other good things.”
In the above, numbers 1 and 2 are not going to help you at all. They will only perpetuate your feeling of lack. Number 3 is not very good, but it is moving in the right direction. Numbers 4, 5 and 6 are all helpful and point you towards a state of greater abundance.
Another thing you can see from this is that changing the statements into questions can be helpful, as long as they are positive questions! Never ask, for example, “Why don’t I ever have enough money?” There is no good answer to a negative question. When you ask a question, your subconscious automatically starts searching for an answer. So if you ask a question about why you are missing something, as in #. For #2 above, there really isn’t a good answer. Whatever answer comes up, no matter how valid it is, you are still in the same state. On the other hand, if you ask a positive question, as in #. From #4 above, you’ll start generating helpful responses.
By focusing on how you feel and the words you say to others as well as to yourself, you can begin to move in a more positive direction. This is how you begin to master the secret of using the Law of Attraction by feeling better, so that you can feel even better.
