The Vibration of Success

Of the 7 Natural Laws of the Universe, the Law of Attraction, which is actually a part of the Law of Vibration, has received a lot of attention lately with the success of the movie and book, The Secret. Because it is universal, we all work with it whether we are aware of it or not. To be aware of it gives you the strong advantage of applying it consciously to attract greater success in your life.

The Law of Vibration states that Everything vibrates, and that nothing rests. The Universe is a cosmic soup of energy vibrating at different frequencies, and since like attracts like (which is The Law of Attraction in a nutshell), energy of like vibration resonates and attracts more like vibrations to it. It stands to reason then that if there is a vibration for everything, there must be a vibration of success.

Success is the desired or favorable outcome of achieving whatever you want. Basically, all success is motivated by the feeling we believe we will have when we accomplish our goal or get what we want. Whether it is the sense of a job well done, gaining recognition, or acquiring something material like a new car or house, that feeling we want is happiness.

We do what we do because we think it will make us feel better. Deep down, all we really want is to feel good. Everyone has their own idea of what feels good, be it love, power, being appreciated, peace, or relaxing on the beach, but what it all comes down to is that to feel good is to be successful - to be full of success - to be full of the desired outcome, which is ultimately happiness.

So the vibration of success is any vibration that feels good. To focus on feeling good attracts more success to you. The feelings that have the highest vibration and the strongest attractive power for success are love, gratitude, and joy.

Your emotions are indicators of your vibrational frequency. The better you feel, the more aligned you are vibrationally to the things you desire. This is why doing what you love is so important. It is following your bliss and doing the things you are passionate about that brings true success.

Pay attention to your emotions. They are immediate feedback of your vibrational state. You can shift your vibration in an instant with an intention to do so. As soon as you decide to focus on something that feels good, you will attract more thoughts that feel good. And with the Law of Attraction, you will draw success to you like a magnet.

Having a vibration of success is knowing you are already free, powerful, good, and loved. Have a strong sense of value, purpose, and connection with life. Give and be of service to others, and the Universe will respond by supporting your expanding vibration. Maintain this vibration and prioritize feeling good, and you will surely attract all the success you could ever want in your life.

Using The Secret to Lose Weight

I was talking to one of my dear friends today about losing weight and what The Secret says about it. She had just watched the movie again and wants to apply The Secret to lose some extra pounds. The movie doesn't go into detail about it, but the book and audio book do discuss specific suggestions for using The Secret to lose weight.

Rhonda Byrne writes in her book: "The first thing to know is that if you focus on losing weight, you will attract back having to lose more weight, so get "having to lose weight" out of your mind. It's the very reason why diets don't work."

"The second thing to know is that the condition of being overweight was created through you thought about it. To put in the most basic terms, if someone is overweight, it came from thinking "fat thoughts", whether that person was aware of it or not. A person cannot think "thin thoughts" and be fat. It completely defies the Law of Attraction."

When I was talking to my friend today, I suggested that she start with her goal in mind. Think of the weight or size you want to be and focus on that. Think "thin thoughts". Don't be too concerned about how it's going to happen, just stay focused on the end result. I suggested to my friend for her to remember when she was at the weight she liked, to recall how it felt, and if there were any negative feelings associated with that memory, to let them go and just focus on what she liked.

You can even create a vision board of pictures of the body you want. I've even heard of people clipping pictures of other people's bodies and pasting photos of their heads to make it look like it's their new physique. In fact, I did that for a vision board of me on the new ATV I want. I cut out the picture and pasted my head on the rider's body. It's an awesome visualization tool!

The most important factor though in reaching your goal (and any goal for that matter) is to feel good. As Rhonda Byrne points out in her book: "The definition of the perfect weight is the weight that feels good for you. You must feel good about You. This is important because you cannot attract your perfect weight if you feel bad about your body now. Praise and bless every square inch of your body. As you feel good about You, you are on the frequency of your perfect weight, and you are summoning it."

One last tip offered in The Secret book on the subject of losing weight is being completely present and focused when you eat. When you pay attention to the tastes and textures of the food you are eating, focusing on chewing it and enjoying all the flavors, your body is able to assimilate all the nutrients and digest it perfectly. If you slow down and take the time to really enjoy and appreciate your meal, you may notice you don't eat so much and are satisfied sooner.

So be easy with yourself, see your body in your mind at your ideal weight now, focus on feeling good, and be present when eating. That's the real Secret to losing weight.

What Do You Love?

So I asked myself the question: "What do I love?" after yesterday’s post, which turned into more questions...

What is my bliss? What makes me happy? What makes my heart sing? What do I love to do? What inspires me? What do I find beautiful? What do I think is awesome, exciting, and fun?

Then I started to answer those questions. Here's what I wrote (in no particular order):

Flying, skydiving, paragliding, bungee jumping, snowboarding, riding my motorcycle, ATV riding, racing go-karts, speeding, hiking, walking, sleeping, hot showers, being organized, spending money, Switchfoot, Snow Patrol, CWG, The Secret, Porsche 911 Targa, Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 Access Cab, Yamaha Grizzly 700, Lindal Custom Homes, tree houses, nature, clear blue sky days with lots of warm sun, puffy clouds, space, the stars on a clear night, The Universe, diversity of Life, Earth, the seasons, fall leaves, Halloween, Christmas, Holidays, snowmen, Fireworks, parades, festivals, concerts, Going to movies, petting dogs, giving flowers, mountains, lakes, streams, beaches, redwood trees, huge old-growth trees, travel, road trips, sightseeing, Sweets, ice cream, Mighty O doughnuts, Home cooked meals, my girlfriend’s Mom’s cooking, my aunt’s cooking, my grandma’s cooking, Pizza, quesadillas, crab cakes, my uncle’s green bean casserole, PCC, Whole Foods Market, Playing basketball, football, Frisbee, volleyball, Taking pictures, sharing photos, making videos, playing guitar, writing in my journal, writing blog posts, writing poems, writing songs, singing, expanding and editing my websites, talking to my friends, visiting with family, chatting on the Internet, Kindness, Caring, Being Helpful, Inspiring, Sharing, Giving, being generous, Playing, Laughing, Hugs, Kissing and Loving my girlfriend, holding her, dancing with her, walking with her, holding her, looking into her eyes, playing with her, laying with her in the grass, being with her, just doing anything with her…

OK, OK. You get the idea. :)

Anyway, the point of thinking about all this was to get in touch with what feels really good and joyful in my life, and to focus on more of that, instead of things I don’t like or want. That way I’ll more powerfully attract more of what I do want.

So what do you love? Let yourself really get in touch with what’s in your heart. If you do that for just a few moments each day, you’ll be amazed at how many more good things show up in your life!

The Importance of Feeling Good

One of the key points in "The Secret" is that we are magnets that attract to us what we think and feel, and if we want to really harness that creative power to bring to us more of what we want, feeling good is very important!

Feeling good (ie. happy, loving, thankful, passionate, joyful, excited, hopeful, satisfied, or any other positive emotion) attracts more positive things, just as feeling bad (ie. unhappy, hateful, resentful, bored, depressed, fearful, worried, angry, critical, or any other negative emotion) attracts more negative things.

So if you want more of the good things in life, start to make feeling good a priority.

How, you may be asking yourself, do I do that when everything sucks? Start by acknowledging whether you really want to start feeling good again. If you don't want to feel good, you won't, but if you tell yourself "I want to feel good!", then you will start to attract that.

You may find your mind wandering back to negative thoughts. If you feel you can't switch back to thinking of something positive, find something that "makes" you feel good, and do that! Some tricks, which you have probably used many times already, are to listen to music that feels good, watch a funny movie, pet your dog or cat, take a walk in nature, or call a friend that cheers you up. Of course, you could also watch "The Secret"!

I've attached some uplifting videos that make me feel awesome. I hope they help you feel good too!
