This simple step can be your turning point

When I first started studying the Law of Attraction I learned that if I were going to change anything in my life, the art of visualization needed to be mastered. If I couldn't picture myself in a new career or debt free or in a loving partnership, the books explained, then I had little chance of shifting from perpetual dissatisfaction to happy endings. I could see it was important to get very clear about putting myself into the action through mental images. One of the tools I jumped on was creating a vision board of pictures and words that reflected my ever-after dreams. My creation was a dandy but the problem was I didn't read the fine print.

I started with a collection of magazines that would rival a library. Like a child lost in a kindergarten moment, I cut out pictures of fiery sunsets in Maui, happy couples smiling over a candlelit dinner and slim, vibrant women dancing, laughing, driving, doing anything that - I don't know - looked like I would look if I were rich and gorgeous and happily in love. Next I cut out words in mega-type: Powerhouse, You Make It Happen, Shine! And just so the fairy godmother-in-charge  wouldn't miss the message, I added fake hundred dollar bills and glitter. Seriously.
 
I took my new masterpiece and propped it up on the bedroom dresser. The goal was to saturate my subconscious at its most vulnerable, before sleep and as I awoke, just as the books instructed. Several weeks later things hadn't changed a bit. My car hadn't morphed into a Mercedes, no one had offered me a six figure income for just being me and "the one" hadn't accidently spilled coffee on my shoes in a Starbucks line. I'd like to say I figured out early on that there was a missing link but, as you've learned by now, I'm not a quick study. I kept cranking out vision boards every couple of years, sure that better pictures, zestier words and brighter sparkles would seal the deal.

Then I discovered the teachings of Neville Goddard, a mid-century master of the Law of Attraction. Neville's repetitive message is a simple one: for it to be real, you must feel it real. It dawned on me that while the pictures and words in the vision boards gave me an emotional high, I remained a passive observer in the creative process. Unknowingly, I had used them  to reinforce a "me here, dream there" perspective. I wasn't standing on the stage hearing applause and taking a bow, I was sitting in the audience.

Here's a simple but powerful technique from Neville's teachings that  helped me shift from keeping my dreams in future tense to here-and-now successes. Imagine yourself in a conversation with a good friend where he or she is congratulating you on your success. Do this, not as an observer watching yourself in the scene, but through your own eyes. Hear your friend's voice as she tells you she always knew you would do it, see the light in your friend's eyes as he shares the excitement of your new found success, feel the exhilaration of the moment as you and your friend stand in celebration of a dream realized.

There are two very important dynamics at work here. One, you put yourself into the action by seeing the scene through your own eyes and two, the dream is a reality. You've taken it out of the future and put in the past. The Law of Attraction always matches your current vibration. Feel it real and the Law will faithfully and unerringly deliver your desire.
