Do you remember that first spark of hope you felt when you watched The Secret?

I clearly remember the desire that filled my heart, knowing that – Yes, I can make my dreams come true – FINALLY!

But how many of you soon saw that hope dwindle into frustration? How many of you (and be honest now) started muttering things like:

• “It seems to work for other people, but I just can’t get it right.”

• “I’m frustrated that sometimes I can get it to work, but sometimes I can’t. What’s the trick?”

• “Why am I having so much trouble?”

• “I think the universe is against me.”

• “I’m trying very, VERY hard but still nothing is happening!”

Don’t worry, you’re not alone. About 97% of people also couldn’t make the Law of Attraction work for them the first time round. Think about it, just like anything else, you have to practice many times before you see success. A child doesn’t learn to walk without falling over a couple of times, right?

But in practice, everything is easier said and done.

When you’re frustrated, it’s hard to stay positive. And it’s especially harder to stay positive when the evidence all around you is screams negativity like the unstable economy or senseless acts of violence such as those you see constantly on the news.

And do you know what happens when you fail to stay positive? That’s right – you start attracting negative things in to your life.

So how can you make the Law of Attraction work for you – without getting frustrated? How do those who successfully implement the Law of Attraction do it with such confidence and finesse?

Well, here’s three quick tips so you will never feel frustrated or tired of begging from the universe, because you know how to start manifesting like a pro.

1. Allow Yourself To Receive

Just like a lost child who approaches a police officer and asks, “Excuse me Sir, can you tell me how to go to the post office? Can you? Can you? Can you? Can you? Can you?” Well, if the child goes on and on asking, the police officer can’t even give an answer, right?

Well, it’s the same thing with your mind. If the only thing your mind is doing is transmit, transmit, transmit, the universe — which is trying to respond — can’t give you a single thing because you’re not allowing yourself to receive!

So, have the confidence in yourself and stop exhausting yourself by running around person to person begging for riches, and then wondering why nobody is dropping a penny in your cup (Hint: It’s because you’re running away too fast for them before they can even reach for their wallets).

Just think of your desires and leave it out there, go away, and trust that your cup will be filled with gold coins (or whatever it is you asked for) when the time is right.

2. Be Patient With Yourself

Receiving takes time.

Sadly, many people give up just a couple of steps before the finish line because they’ve decided that if it’s not working by now, it’s never going to work at all. Worse still are those who throw in more and more energy because they think that with more resources, the results will come faster.

This is like expecting 9 mothers to conceive and deliver a baby in 1 month. You also can’t bake cookies in half the time by doubling the temperature. You’ll incinerate those cookies to ashes!

In simple terms: Everything in this world has a natural development time, and this fact will not change no matter what resources you throw at it.

So relax and be patient. Remember that you too, as part of the universe, are also governed by the laws of the universe, and you cannot change the natural development time.

If you remember this, you will less likely work yourself up into frustration, or worse, push yourself into a downward spiral of negativity.

3. Support and Educate Yourself

Like the child who is learning how to walk, you need support. You also need to guidance on how to do it, and also the role models to look up to.

Many people give up because they think that “The Secret” is the “be all and end all” solution. Well, it’s NOT. “The Secret” is just a small portion. It was never intended, and has never been, the whole answer.

Coming to the conclusion that the Law of Attraction doesn’t work when all you ever did to educate yourself was watch “The Secret” 19 times (without looking at changing the habits of other areas of your life) is like coming to the conclusion that exercising is not an effective way to lose weight because all you did is run on the treadmill for 2 hours a day (but you’re still stuffing yourself with fried foods and cheesecakes).

So seek and be hungry for new knowledge. Also, make an effort to be amongst people or communities where you can support each other, learn from each other and also share new knowledge that you have found.

While the Law of Attraction is not an overnight delivery service, it will indeed deliver, if you do your part too!

Just got an e-mail from one of the newsletter I'm suscribed with that Oprah will be hosting another show on The Secret today.

With special guests Louise Hay and Martha Beck.

Make sure you tune in and watch this.

Do you think of yourself as an individual, separate from everyone around you?  Most people in our modern world do have that perception.  However, centuries old spiritual texts from many cultures tell a different story; and quantum physics is beginning to confirm the same truth: that we are all interconnected, with each other and the universe around us.

If this is indeed true, how come we can’t see it?  Why do we appear to be separate beings?  The answer lies in our perception of who we are.

On a physical level, we do indeed appear to be individuals.  Our bodies are not tied to other bodies; we can move around freely by ourselves.  However, that’s not the end of us, is it?  Besides having physical bodies, we are also spiritual beings; we are composed of the same energy that makes up the universe and everything else in it.

The good news is that you can strengthen your sense of interconnectedness by simply shifting your focus!  Click below to find a few quick and easy tips for doing so:

“With one breath: with one flow: you will know Synchronicity” – The Police

Two (or more) events that coincide in a meaningful way but are unrelated in terms of causality are considered synchronous.

What distinguishes synchronicity from coincidence is meaning. Synchronicity is the experience of meaningful coincidences.

The term was coined by the famous analytical psychologist Carl Jung who used it to explain occurrences like a beetle flying into his studio just as a patient was discussing a scarab beetle in his dream.

Feeling stuck? It’s such a common experience, we may be tempted to consider it normal.

But it isn’t. In fact stagnancy, is the anthesis to the very nature of the Universe and All-That-Is; which is contstantly evolving and expanding.

Even people already acquainted with certain elements of this “You-Create-Your-Own-Reality” consciousness can find themselves paralyzed by the realization that their uncontrolled thoughts, complaints, and urges are the determinants of the shape of their future circumstances yet to come.

The lessons of the omnipotent and omnipresent Law of Attraction are deep spiritual lessons, reaching to the very soul and psyche of humanity, shedding unprecedented light on the consciousness underlying the universe and All That Is in it.

But Law of Attraction wouldn’t work at all if it didn’t also have a firm and inexorable footing in the physical.

When we say that emotions and thoughts and desires are vibrations we are not speaking rhetorically or metaphorically…

More on The Science Behind the Law of Attraction

You did not fall from grace; no one did. For it is not possible. You and the Source Energy of All-That-Is, the Universe, God (if you will) are oneness. You will never NOT be one. The concept that man and God are separate is a fallacy.

There is no separation, never was, never will be, and there is nothing you can do to ever cause it to be otherwise.

Yes, that means everyone, even murderers. And rapists and child molesters too…

In this post we apply the lessons of the Law of Attraction to partnership relationships or romantic relationships, though the insights discussed apply to all relationships of all kinds – friends, parent/child, etc.

The people we attract to ourselves in life match up vibrationally with some energy we’re projecting. Attracting the right kinds of matches into your life then requires first and foremost accepting responsibility for the people you do attract.

And taking responsibility for the kinds of people who show up in your life entails taking responsibility for how you “show up” in your life, inside and out. Change you vibrations, change what (and who) they attract.
