MANIFEST YOUR DREAMS by. Daniela Dragut Ever wonder why some people seem to have all the luck; the money, the car, the house, the hot girlfriend? I'll tell you why, the answer is simple. They don't think of anything else. These people don't settle for less than everything. Now that you have it all, let your imagination roam. You're free to run! Free to visit all the dark spaces of your imagination. You are the master of your thoughts. What you think, you create! "Be careful what you wish for, 'cuz you just might get it all." Wouldn't that be neat? To get everything you imagine? Well everything you want, you can have. There's one sure way to do it. Fake it till you make it. Achieve your goals by "acting as if." Pretend you have it and it will appear. Ask and you shall receive, but don't ask more than once, once is enough. Ask twice and it means you don't have faith that it was answered the first time. The second "prayer" and all following should be of gratitude. Be thankful! Your prayers are being answered. The Universe is working around the clock to bring your desired outcome to fruition. Believe! Have Faith! All is Well! Now you too know how to receive all that you desire through the Law of Attraction. It is the universal law that states that what you focus your attention on the majority of the time becomes attracted to you by forces unseen and manifests itself in your life. From a phsychological standpoint, this ability is stimulated by a side of the brain that is in charge of the fight or flight instinct. We will term this portion of your brain the 'goat brain." When your goat brain decides a course of action, no reason or logic goes into the decision making process. It simply does as the shephard says. It acts upon impulses sent to it by your thoughts. You might get the urge to run when you hear "fire" even though you actually haven't seen any fire of which to be afraid. That is one example of how your goat brain works. If you tell your goat brain that you are hungry long enough, you will become hungry. It is inevitable. This is why your thoughts are so important. What you think about your brain will manufacture and the Universe will move mountains to bring it to you. This is through the Law of Attraction and the power of manifestation. In order to manifest something you must first have a clear idea or it in your mind; all the intricate details. Who, what, where, when, why and most of all HOW! How will this event you would like to bring about appear? You must visualize it in your mind's eye. There are several ways to do this. A vision quest is much like day-dreaming but it requires an intention and a little bit of concentration. Energy follows attention. So remember, you MUST not allow your thoughts to drift past your planned event, especially not for the worse scenario that you think could happen. We are manifesting good, not bad events. You can do this at any time for any length of time. Three to five minutes, in your office before you go to lunch. Fifteen minutes, lying in bed before you go to sleep at night. Close your eyes and concentrate all the energy in your body to a place in the middle of your head between your eyes and your ears. Take a few mintues to play out the event to its completion. Do this exercise often and with conviction. Visualization is a powerful tool to manifest good in your life. Positive affirmations are a good way also. Tape them to your mirror or repeat them over and over before you fall asleep (you may even have better dreams and sleep more peacefully). Especially if your acclimation is "tonight I will get a good night's rest." Picture yourself waking up refreshed and getting through your day with ample energy. Another very important thing to mention is that our goat brain cannot differentiate between positive and negative. If you say to yourself "I will not get into a car accident," it says "OH! It's a car accident you want, eh?" and your goat brain along with the Universe will conspire to bring that about. A better way to handle that situation would be to say "I will arrive at my destination safe" and picture yourself there. Positive affirmations coupled with visualization will help you take complete advantage of the secret to life, the Law of Attraction. So, watch your thoughts, they become your reality. The Law of Attraction states that what you think, the Universe will manifest for you. If you say something to your goat brain enough times, it will believe you and bring it about. Visualize in order to manifest your dreams into reality and practice positive affirmations. Good luck and have fun with this. There is no way you can mess up! It's your imagination, let it run wild. Let your inner child come out and play and see just how true it is that you are made in the image and likeness of your Creator, even in so far as to be able to create your own reality.
