I spent the past week of my life dealing with the necessities of my father’s funeral and burial. He died a week ago Monday, and I mention him because he was without a doubt the most positive manifesting person I knew. And he never saw The Secret or read philosophy. I was with him by his side the last day and a half of his life. I held his hand. He did not want me to let it go. And it was both the most heartbreaking and the most beautiful time of my life- as I have never felt so much love in a room as I felt that day.

My father spent most of his life singing, dancing, and telling jokes. He lived in what I will call the happy zone, and for the most part life was a gift he opened with zest. So when I speak of how to access the law of attraction energy, I am speaking in some ways about my father, a great role model for me.

So if we want to use the Law of Attraction, we have to determine what makes each of us happy. Perhaps it is communing with nature, lying in the tall grass. Perhaps it is taking a jog or swimming in the ocean. Perhaps it is simply watching the sun set.

For me I can access my peaceful self by reading a spiritual book such as “Conversations with God” or Alanon’s “Courage to Change.” I can get it through listening to beautiful music or looking at lovely artwork. I can read affirmation cards, or meditate on the musings of the famous spiritual teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh.

I get into the space of love by lying on the couch with my arms around one of my children. I also get there by cuddling and watching a movie, or conversing with someone I care for about what makes them happy.

As for joy, my dad and I were both fond of the singing at the top of your lungs in the car method of accessing it. We did many a fine concert for the steering wheel, and when we did all cares and worries went away. But the question for you is “What gives me joy?” And as soon as you answer it, you must go about the business of doing it, if you hope for any success at all in accessing the Law of Attraction Energy.

It is certain that we do not access the Law of Attraction Energy by doing things that drain or upset us, such as being with negative people, or watching sad movies. My dad had this tool down pat and when he watched a movie it was The Sound of Music or Oklahoma. He knew instinctively that negativity was best taken in small, limited doses.

So do what makes you feel good. Or do what makes others around you feel good- which will often alter how you feel. And don’t do what makes you feel bad very frequently if at all. Follow these simple rules and you will be sure to begin to manifest the good things in life, as well as follow in my dad’s footsteps, and thereby keep him alive and with us.

Dr. Joe Vitale is the president of Hypnotic Marketing, Inc., is an expert in the Law of Attraction, and was featured in both the movie and book called “The Secret”. His own books include “The Attractor Factor, 5 Easy Steps for Creating Wealth (or Anything Else) from the Inside Out”, “Life’s Missing Instruction Manual: The Guidebook You Should Have Been Given at Birth”, and “Zero Limits: The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace, and More”.

Equally successful as his books, Joe has also produced a number-one bestselling audio program, “The Power of Outrageous Marketing”. He is, in fact, the world’s first hypnotic marketer, so it’s no surprise he has made millions of dollars, and in the process made millionaires and improved the lives of people all over the world.

Writing has been a passion for Joe since he was a teenager. His inspiration first came from the “Twilight Zone” series. He just knew the writer behind such a phenomenon must be a god-like creature. He was a bit disappointed when he met Rod Serling in person and realized he was only a human. The disappointment didn’t last long, though. If Serling could write, so could Vitale!

Why is Joe Vitale so successful? People ask him that question a lot, and his response is always the same: he follows his driving enthusiasm. Whatever his interest at the time, a person, place, or thing, he follows it. He never knows where he’s going when he follows his passions. He only knows he’s following his heart.

One of Joe Vitale’s interests was in a man named Bruce Barton, who was the founder of BBDO. He wanted to learn as much as possible, so Joe researched him for two years. Afterwards, he wrote a very successful book “The Seven Lost Secrets of Success”, which has since been printed approximately 20 times. He didn’t follow Barton with the expectation of writing a book. The book was simply a result of the passion he followed.

“Follow your passions and make a million bucks this year?” No. It doesn’t usually work that way. Joe Vitale is no exception to that rule. He, like most people, had to struggle a great deal in the beginning. For a while, he even became homeless. He took whatever job he could find just to feed his wife and himself. Never did he give up his passion for writing, though.

The key to overcoming is to figure out what’s holding you back. Joe had an inward struggle. No one in his family was into books. No one wrote books. No one had a passion for reading. He was the outsider. It took a move of 2,000 miles for Joe to get far enough from the struggle to overcome his issues with poverty.

Even if you’re making money, perhaps you’ve hit an income ceiling like Joe did. Again, you have to figure out why. There is something hidden in your subconscious that’s holding you back. For Joe, it was a struggle knowing he could make more money than his father and do it with a lot less effort than working on his father’s railroad job. Overcoming this obstacle was the turning point for Joe. Find yours!

Many people feel hypnosis is just a stage art to entertain people. However, hypnosis is perhaps one of he best treatments available for healing a myriad of problems. People seldom realize but hypnosis is a part of our daily lives.

An example of this is think back to a time when you were driving along and all of a sudden you are at your destination and you don’t even remember taking the last few turns. We tend to call it zoning out or day dreaming, however it is really a natural state of mind and a natural form of hypnosis.

Let’s gain some insight into the field of hypnosis. What may be learned in the process could turn out to be truly surprising:

Let’s get one fact straight. All hypnosis in actuality is self hypnosis. The hypnotherapist in reality is nothing but a catalyst in a reaction. That means that a hypnotherapist just helps you in the process. The patient is conscious in hypnosis and can end it at anytime as per his wish. Contrary to the popular belief, no one can make you do anything while in hypnosis, which you would not do otherwise.

If you comprehend the point mentioned above, then it becomes easy to avoid negative self hypnosis. The conscious mind is only 10% of our brain and it is what we use in making our day to day decisions. Conscious mind is responsible for will power, logic, analyzing and also making decisions which depend on the impressions stored in the subconscious mind.

The subconscious mind makes up about 90% of our brain. It is responsible for all the involuntary body functions such as blinking and breathing. The subconscious mind is child like in its make since it is creative, emotional and intuitive and at times does not understand logic. Subconscious mind also houses your predominant beliefs and values about yourself. Hence people who are negative in life are primarily because of the programming of the subconscious mind.

The subconscious mind is always programming and reprogramming itself by self-talk, everyday experiences, encounters and knowledge. Even without realizing it we continuously tell ourselves, we are achievers, failures, loners or misers and so on. These get etched on our subconscious mind. When we normally talk or listen we mainly converse with the conscious mind, however through hypnosis we can establish a direct contact with the subconscious.

Hypnosis is not a medical treatment and hypnotherapists for the most part are not medically trained professionals, so they are not working to give any form of medical treatment due to psychiatric illnesses, unless there is a doctor supervising.

These days, hypnosis is mostly used in kicking the cigarette and getting rid of phobias and illogical fears. However, many people do not know that hypnosis is quite effective in weight loss, facing examinations, stage presentations and other healing therapies.

Hypnosis cannot help if there is no mental or emotional aspect to a problem. For example, it cannot make a severed limb re-grow, however it can assist in easing phantom pains which many amputees experience.

Medical and dental professionals have used hypnotherapy to wholly or partially replace chemical anesthesia during surgeries.

Hypnotic anesthesia has been around longer than modern medicine. Hypnotic anesthesia allows quicker recovery, shorter hospital confinements and better patient comfort.

Hypnosis is an amazing tool that can be used to cure severe psychosomatic problems and can better your life if only you try to understand its potential thorough in-depth research. Positive reinforcements can negate the harmful effects of negative self-hypnosis.

I’m a firm believer that we attract everything into our life whether it’s good or bad. Right now that may be a bitter pill to swallow, but I assure you it’s true. It’s attracted to you by virtue of the images held in your mind. Your current thinking patterns regarding your finances, abilities, how you perceive yourself, and how you live life are habitual. Many psychologists have referred to this as programming.

This programming is tucked away within your subconscious mind and it dictates your behavior on a daily basis. These programs, or paradigms, came from outside sources and we often accept them without question. Frequently, our paradigm is filled with lack and limitation because a parent, instructor, coach, or another person we respected sought to protect us from disappointment.

These particular people may have dropped words like “don’t expect too much,” “be realistic,” along with many other disempowering remarks. If you choose to accept this line of though, it begins to fuel your daily behavior and hinders your ability to attract prosperity into virtually every area of your existence. The bottom line is that you draw to you what you think about and feel continuously.

Wise people as far back as ancient Egypt have always been aware of the secret law of attraction. It’s important to assume responsibility for our conscious and subconscious thoughts while monitoring them on a daily basis! Mainstream television, radio, and newspapers are the first forms of media to start avoiding due to the negative images, fear-mongering stories, and dialogue that is continuously propagated our way. This type of media does not encourage independent, positive thinking that is needed to envision, feel, and ultimately attain massive riches and vibrant health.

Like attracts like, specifically when we are referring to thought. You become and attract what you think and feel most often, like a magnet. Thoughts send out magnetic signals that are continuously drawing a parallel back to you. The most amazing feature concerning The Secret Law of Attraction is, at any time, you can begin to think and create a feeling happiness and harmony. The law of attraction, in turn, will respond by drawing more things into your life that generate those positive emotions you’ve chosen to feel!

It’s been scientifically proven that thoughts can heal the body or cause disease. Stress, which many have labeled as negative emotions, cause the internal biochemistry of the human body to fall into an acidic state, thus creating a platform for illness to thrive. These bad thoughts and emotions may come to light as conscious or unconscious in beginning.

Remember to visualize and feel yourself thriving in a stress-free environment. Think of abundance and vibrant health regularly and it will most assuredly cross your path! Never dwell, focus, and speak about disease or being financially crippled. I don’t believe in coincidence. Individuals that talk of their problems create more of the same issues. Always think and visualize from the end result and be absolutely certain that abundant health and massive wealth is yours, even before it may physically present itself. We have learned to “ask in faith, knowing it shall be granted unto you!”

There are no accidents or coincidence in this orderly universe. As your mindset changes and your ability to harness abundance progresses, you will begin to realize that coincidence is nothing more than attractor energy working in your favor. You make the conscious and subconscious choice every day to attract or push away wealth in all areas of your life! Application of the secret law of attraction is the key to experiencing incredible health from within and understanding the science of getting rich! This is what separates the patients who miraculously go into remission and ultimately recover, from the ones that lose their struggle with many diseases! The law of attraction is always working and truly is THE KEY TO VIBRANT HEALTH and unlocking THE SECRET SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH.
