By now, many of us are aware of The Law of Attraction, and how it is consistently affecting our lives. For those who may not yet be familiar, the law states that whatever we focus on, we attract into our lives. If we focus on success, it will come to us, so will just about everything else on which we choose to focus. Just like gravity, which is constantly working, so is the Law of Attraction. Our thoughts bring us joy, happiness, sorrow, grief and just about every feeling there is. So doesn’t it also follow that thoughts can bring triumph, victory, achievement, and accomplishment?

The scientific community now accepts that our thoughts have biochemical, and physical properties, which can be observed, measured, and felt. They are actual things that produce vibrations that are sent out into the world and attract “like” vibrations back to us. Think of it analogously to this example. If you have two pianos in one room and play a chord on one of them, you will actually see the same strings on the other piano vibrate. One vibration is attracting the same thing in another place and causing the same reaction. This is referred to as sympathetic vibrations. We can now see activity in the brain through the use of PET, RMI and SPECT scanners along with high-powered microscopes and computers. We also know that these measurable thoughts produce chemicals that the brain releases into our bodies that stimulate us in a variety of ways. Adrenalin for example, causes our bodies to experience a certain amount of stress. Some of this can be good for us and get us moving in the right direction toward our goals. Too much can cause fear which can stop us frozen in one place. It is vital then, to be able to control, program and understand our conscious and non-conscious (sometimes referred to as sub-conscious) intentions.

Research has shown that the brain has six levels of activity. Only one of these levels is of the conscious state. Five levels, therefore are what scientists now refer to as, non-conscious. This indicates that our non-conscious mind is five times more powerful than the conscious. It is also important to note that the non-conscious mind cannot tell the difference between true and false, real and imagined. So how can we use this science to make the Law of Attraction work for us?

Since the non-conscious brain has speed and power beyond the conscious mind’s capabilities we can use visualization as an extremely effective tool for creating what we want in business and for our personal lives. Spend a few moments, at least three to five times per day, utilizing this capability. Sports psychologists have known since 1980 that visualization focuses the brain by programming its reticular activating system, (RAS). This practice activates resources that were previously left dormant. When used properly, Harvard University researchers discovered that students were able to perform tasks they had visualized with almost 100% accuracy, while students who did no visualization were only 55% accurate.

As you practice this technique, use your mind’s eye to see every detail of whatever it is you are trying to attract more of into your life. If you are giving a speech or presentation visualize being introduced to the audience and hearing the ensuing applause. See the crowd smiling in anticipation of your important message. See and hear yourself speaking the words that promote your business to a higher level. Go over every aspect of the event so that when it happens in real-life you will have already seen it happen over and over again. Keep focused on the positive outcome you want in your life.

Championship golfers, like Tiger Woods, basketball players, and Olympic athletes, even yachtsmen in the world famous America’s Cup, have been using this method to achieve success for many years. Using this technique as part of taking full advantage of the Law of Attraction will not only bring your business up to the next level, it is capable of helping you to achieve success in all ares of your life.
