Tips for Focusing Your Desire

Posted on November 17, 2007 in Laws Of Attraction by byronb

To get what we want, we have to know what we want. To knowwhat we want, we have to think about it, feel about it, make determinationsabout it (okay, this is what I want),and then, once we know what we want, we have to focus on it. Focusing, then,takes on a twofold meaning: focusing in terms of honing in on your desires(determining what they are) and focusing in terms of concentrating joyously onwhat you’ve determined your desires to be`.

This is how we ask the Universe to manifest our desires, andthis is how we align ourselves with receiving them. Below you’ll find 5 tips,processes, exercises, games (call them what you will), for focusing your desireand thereby drawing what you want into your life.

Note: all the processes below are taught by Abraham-Hicksin their manual for blissful living, “Ask And It IsGiven”.

The Magical Creation Box - Find abox, the more appealing to you the better, and start putting into itmagazine and newspaper clippings and other images you find (or make) aboutwhat you want. Continue adding to the box as time goes on, knowing thatanything you place into it is already yours.

The Creative Workshop - Take fourpieces of paper and label one ‘My Body’, one ‘MyHome’, one ‘My Relationship’, and one ‘My Work’. Then start adding to eachlist those things you want in each of those areas. Focusing on these fourkey areas of life will help you more clearly identify those desires thatmatter to you most.

Virtual Reality - You may say thisnext one is no different from ‘fantasizing’ and to that we say, “So itis”. A visualization exercise, in Virtual Reality you allow your mind tofocus on a particular scene you desire experiencing, and imagining yourself in it. Paint a scene with your mindthat makes you feel good. Is it indoors or outdoors? Day or night? Whatare you doing it? What’s happening around you? If there’s any differencebetween this process and your fantasies is that these Virtual Realityvisualizations is intentional, directed by your conscious desire and -most notably distinct from fantasies - honored and appreciated for thefuture reality they represent.

The Prosperity - Everyone wantsmoney: cold hard cash; and there’s nothing wrong with it. So why wait? Start thinking wealthy now; align yourself with howyou’ll feel when the wealth you already possess actualizes itself in yourbank account. Creative an imaginary checking account. Use an actualcheckbook register or a personal finance program on your computer if youwish, but somewhere, somehow, keep a record for this account. On the firstday you play this game, deposit $1,000 into your account. Then startspending it: writing checks (or entries in your record tracking yourimaginary expenses) for everything you want to buy or spend money on. Andspend it all - in one sitting (or one day). Don’t leave money around tobuild-up in your account; this is a checking account, not a savings . The next time you do this, deposit $2,000 andagain, spending it all. Each time you play this game increase your initialdeposit by $1,000. See how it feels to spend $20,000 knowing you’ll getequal that plus more as soon as that runs out. How does it feel when youget to spending $100,000 at the time. What do youhave? How does it feel?

The Book of Positive Aspects -Gratitude and appreciation is our way of attracting more of those thingsinto our lives. So start a notebook where, one at a time, you dedicate anentire page to one person, animal, place, situation, or thing that isalready in your life: a restaurant, a car, your spouse, your job, etc.Write down in as much detail as you can what you like/love/appreciate/aregrateful for about each person, animal, place, situation, or thing. Indoing so, you not only create more positive experiences with thatrestaurant, car, spouse, job, etc., but you attract more of thosequalities you listed appreciating into all areas of your life. Once you’vedone this a few times, try listing the positive aspects of somethingyou’re not so thrilled with in your life. By focusing on the positiveaspects of a negative thing or situation, you transform it, perpetuatingand reinforcing the positive elements while the negative elements slipaway.
