Many books and articles talk about ‘focus’.  Some related terms you may be familiar with include:

• attention
• intention
• goals
• ambition
• desire
• decision
• choice

All of these words offer further ways of understanding the importance and value of focus.

As a conscious reality creator in training or already skilled in the art – we need to direct our energy towards the life and experiences we want (and opposed to those we may not want).

How do we do this?

We do it via our thinking.  Thinking (or thought) is an awesome tool for focusing energy when applied with precision.

Once we are able to consciously and wilfully direct energy in the direction we want, we then begin to live the life we want, and even more importantly, we begin to experience greater satisfaction with our life.  We develop a sense of personal power. We begin to see and know, without doubt, that we are the creators of our life and that we can control the types of people and experiences that we come in contact with.

We no longer need fear external events or people because we know how to attract only those that appeal to us.

Focusing our thoughts and our thinking, is like wielding a laser beam.  And the Law of Attraction goes to work on matching our dominant point of focus, our dominant thoughts and thinking.

But this is also where many people come ‘unstuck’.  We have become so accustomed to thinking counter to the many things we desire – for example through doubt, worry, anxiety and so forth – that this habitual way of responding falls beneath our radar of conscious awareness.  But the Law of Attraction is responding to it nevertheless.

How can we change? 

A step at a time. 

In the same way that we have developed our habitual ways of thinking and responding – over time –  so too for most people, it takes time to develop a new, more productive habitual response to everyday topics

But that is the challenge and the reward simultaneously.  To stay at it long enough to develop a new habit of thinking.  Within a relatively short time (21 days) the new habit will begin to develop its own momentum and will begin to carry us forward without our having to consciously yank our focus or attention back to where we want it to be.  Less effort – more ease.

Focused thought and focused thinking is both an art and a science. 

It is an art and a science that can change your life quickly – and often times, magically.  It is well worth taking the time to develop this powerful skill. It will sustain you for your entire life.

You’ve probably heard about or seen the movie The Secret. Perhaps you even bought the book. I loved the movie production and presentation of a profoundly metaphysical topic.  However the movie only told part of the real secret of how you can create and live the life of your dreams.

Let me explain. The movie was based on the work of Esther Hicks (the teachings of Abraham).  When asked to comment on the movie, Esther noted, that unless you tell people who they “really are” and how to work with this energy powerhouse they themselves are, then you’re not really giving them anything “new”.  You’re just giving them one more thing to add to their ‘To Do List’ – which, for most people is already a mile long! 

So let’s explore this a bit further. 

For years – decades in fact – many in the metaphysical community have skirted around the topic fearing the ‘general public’ just wasn’t ready to hear ‘the secret’. So what is the secret behind The Secret that has not been discussed among the general consensus?

You are more than just flesh and bones. You are more than ‘God’s children’ earning your way to heaven or some other worldly place once you die.

You have already arrived!  You are a spiritual being in the fullest meaning of that term. You are connected to a vast energy powerhouse that has been given various labels.  Some of my preferred names are: Source Energy, Infinite Intelligence or Prime Mover  The movie, The Secret, referred to this immense energy powerhouse as the Law of Attraction.

So you could say that the Law of Attraction is just one way of talking about and describing an awesome energy forcefield that creates ands sustains this universe and all other universes.

And the amazing part is that you are a part of that powerhouse!  You have access to the same creative power.  You and I use the same creative tools as everyone other person on the planet.  We each create everything in our world – whether or not we know (consciously) how we are doing this.

Did you know that every DNA cell within your body contains a hologram of the entire universe? Yes, that’s right. YOU have the blueprint for the entire universe in your own DNA!  Isn’t that just awesome to even contemplate?

In colloquial terms, you are a ‘chip off the old block’. In practical terms, this means you have tremendous creative power and potential.  Potentially there is nothing you cannot be, do, or have. 

There is a small snag, here….You must believe in whatever it is you want to be, or do or have.  That’s part of the secret to manifesting the life of your dreams. Belief. You’ve got to believe it’s possible for you! Not pretend to believe. Not believe today and not  tomorrow. But you need to have in place a rock solid belief or optimism and genuine expectation in your own creative power and attraction.

In a new training program I am offering in February, attendees, will have the opportunity to explore how access their own creative potential and how to apply the the Law of Attraction in every day situations – from improving your living conditions, or financial situation, or a particular relationship.  There is no end to what you can have or be or do once you understand the basics and know how to apply them in your own life.  An important key for most people, is however, practising and observing the feedback – which will be very fast as Source Energy doesn’t muck around once YOU are clear about what you want and are committed to that direction.

Stay tuned for further news and discussion on this topic as well as the new (free) introductory half day training event. (Note: currently scheduled for people living in Sydney, Australia).

In the early 1990s, a group of researchers led by Italian neuroscientist, Dr Giacomo Rizzolatti, discovered an amazing thing about the brain during experiments on monkeys. Electrodes were connected to the part of the brain responsible for planning and movement.

The researchers discovered a phenomenon they called ‘mirror neurons’. The mirror neurons (brain cells) were scattered throughout key regions of the monkey’s brain. They mimicked everything the monkey saw someone else do. For example pick up a peanut, grab a banana, eat an ice cream cone.

So even though the monkey only observed the activity, the mirror neurons in the brain fired as if the monkey was doing the activity itself!

In subsequent research on humans, a far more complicated set of mirror neurons was discovered.

The discovery of mirror neurons, “completely changes the way we think about how the brain works.” 

The implication is that humans don’t just passively observe other people in action, but actively mimic the activity in their own mind.

When a soccer fan’s favorite player scores a goal in the World Cup, part of the fan’s brain has him, the fan, scoring the goal.

The phenomenon helps to explain the power of television and movies to put viewers themselves into the action.
