How to Visualize

The question that people most often ask me is, "how do I visualize?". It's my belief that those who say they don't, really do, just as people who say they don't dream, really do but don't remember. Dreaming and visualizations are in the same family. Both take you to "inner worlds". If you let go of concepts that you have learned in the past, such as "the mind creates a dreams", and imagine for a moment, that the dreams we have take us to other levels of existence, you will understand how visualizations work.

Visualizations are not just making pictures in your mind. There is an energy attached to your thoughts and pictures that you conjure up or that appear in your mind. Separate your concept of the mind and the brain. Think of the brain as simply an organ, like the heart is. Now imagine that your mind has no form and does not house itself in the brain. Just as the feeling of love does not come directly from the heart organ. These are earth shattering concepts for some, but nothing new for others. If you are having trouble following this, just let it go and don't even try to understand it. Close your eyes and what happens?

The reason we do breathing and relaxation exercises before going into visualizations is to get in the most receptive state. These steps take us to our inner existence. We have an outer world and an inner world and we participate in both worlds. That's a lot to digest right there. To understand visualizations you need to begin to accept the existence of the inner and the outer worlds. Think of a building. Think of a particular building like "the Empire State Building" or something similar. Now think of a yellow flower. Think of a red flower. What are the different images or sensations that come to "mind"? We all have concepts of these things and ways of forming images that make sense to us. When you are trying to make changes in your life, I find the most effective visualizations involve images of "breaking through" something.

To overcome obstacles, you can literally see yourself knocking down walls, or crossing over a bridge and reaching the other side as you fight off each challenge. I will call these kinds of visualizations "indirect visualizations". Indirect visualizations are more powerful than visualizing the house that you want or the car you dream of. Direct visualizations are material and will get you material results. This is where people make a wrong turn in the road. Indirect visualizations will get to the very core of a long standing issue. There is a much deeper meaning to life than manifesting houses and cars. We are looking for one thing and we think that by achieving certain levels of success we will find it, but that is not where it is at all. We seek understanding. We want to know why things happen to us. We want to have more control over our lives.

Visualizations can lead us to the answers we seek. They can guide us to our next step. They can help us find clarity in an otherwise fuzzy world. So where does one start? Start exactly where you are and see what happens as you put the slightest effort into this.

Applying the Law of Attraction to Make Money on the Internet

Most definitely, there exist several various methods that you can use to make money on the Internet and you need to carefully select which techniques you will utilize. A particular method that has not yet become very popular but is nonetheless pretty successful when used on the Internet deals with the law of attraction, which basically means that your thoughts and desires will eventually be revealed in real life. The law of attraction states that you are able to attract things into your life with whatever you think most about.

There are a number of entrepreneurs who simply do not give this idea any credibility, however there exists several company owners who attempt to constantly use this principle as a way of accomplishing desired objectives and tasks. Although your thoughts have a strong influence on the outcome of real life, there are a number of questions and problems that arise with the law of attraction. These concerns and issues need to be closely examined before using the law of attraction to help you make money on the Internet.

A major concern questions the dilemma of when two separate individuals sustain solid thoughts and feelings to accomplish the same objective. For example, if two people strive to have solid desires of obtaining a specific employment position, no matter how equal they are there will only be one person that eventually gets hired. This shows that there is a flaw in the law of attraction and can only work for people who have the strongest thoughts and desires.

An addtional main probelm has to to with negative events that happen to many innocent people throughout the world. For example, if a person is murdered, it definitely does not mean that the victim had strong thoughts about being killed. Whenever bad things happen, this eliminates the law of attraction from having an influence in the lives of the victims.

Many people have several questions of if this law of attraction actually works with children and even animals. Many people have tried to study this idea but there is no solid evidence that supports these ideas and concepts. The law of attraction can only surely be applied to the lives of mature and fully functional adults who live in todays society.

Even though several concerns do exist and that challenge the reality and effectiveness of the law of attraction, this law is strongly believed and applied by many online business owners. There is a lot of truth with the idea that your thoughts lead to words and actions. When you have a strong mental thought process, you really can influence the way that life turns out for you.

An additional method for a person to tell about the law of attraction is with the term known as self-fulfilling prophecy. This means that whatever you strongly believe will happen actually might have a high chance of coming true in its own time period. If you strive to maintain a strong mental attitude and constantly apply the law of attraction to your online business, then you will have a greater chance of making money on the Internet.


7 Secrets For Applying the Law of Attraction

"You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you." - James Allen

Your thoughts are the key to applying the Law of Attraction in your favor. As a Natural Law, the Law of Attraction works all the time - whether you're aware of it or not. So it's not so much a matter of applying the Law of Attraction, as it is in becoming aware of this awesome power and how it works.

Like attracts like, or as Abraham, the spiritual voice expressed through Esther Hicks says, "that which is like unto itself is drawn." What you put out is what you get back. In other words, you attract into your life the things, people, and circumstances that are a vibrational match to your repetitive thoughts.

Here are 7 secrets for applying the Law of Attraction:

1. Get clear on what it is you want to attract. You must be able to clearly and succinctly describe something you would like to have, become, or do in your life. If your description is fuzzy, your order to the Universe will be muddled. Describe your goal in specific details, and list why it's important to you.

2. Spend less time thinking about what you don't want. We all do it, to varying degrees. The trick is to catch yourself and switch gears and focus. Since whatever you think about, you bring about -- it's important to control your mental attention and keep it pointed in the direction you want to go.

3. Imagine yourself in possession of your goal. This is a biggie in applying the Law of Attraction. Imagine what it's like to now have what you want. Note the details. Capture the feelings. Explore every facet of it. Get comfortable having your goal. Know exactly how it feels, so when that day arrives, you'll simply identify what you've been expecting all along. Think and act from the position of already having what you want.

4. Engage your senses. Don't just visualize it. Get a sense of the sounds, scents and tastes you'll enjoy when your goal is realized. Imagination is enhanced by involving as many of the senses as possible. The more you can experience being in possession of your goal, the more real you make it and more fuel you're adding to the fire of creation.

5. Feel it at every opportunity. Assume ownership of whatever it is you seek. Get to know how it feels and then mentally stay inside that feeling. Carry on with your life, but do so from this position of power. The more you feel it, it more it becomes a part of you. Revel in it. Know that it's yours.

6. Look for evidence. Look all around and for proof that your goal is on the way. Accept the Universe as the co-creator in your life and use every shred of evidence to enhance your belief. Pay attention to the subtle messages, whatever format they assume.

7. Believe. It's crucial to believe that whatever you want can be yours. Keep the faith, hold to the vision. Reshape, refine or recast your goal to suit, but never doubt your ability or the power of the Universe in applying the Law of Attraction.

Hold to it and you'll eventually hold what you want in the palm of your hands. When you make the manifestation of your goal the next logical step -- that's when magic happens. That's where you see results that can often amaze others. But you knew it was just a matter of time. Your thoughts and feelings are the master key to applying the Law of Attraction.

The Google Ranking Secret That Is Hiding In Plain Sight by Jim DeSantis

Billions of people are surfing cyberspace, many of them wanting to spend money conveniently. If you have something to sell, how can you ensure they will find you before your competitors? The answer is simple - you need to make friends with the search engines and give the search engines what they want. The good news for you is, 95% of your competitors ignore this secret that is hidden in plain sight because it's too easy. What is the secret hiding in plain sight? Search engines want fresh, quality content! They have always wanted fresh, quality content. They are in business to serve the masses so they are brutally picky about who makes it to the first page of search results. Yes, getting backlinks from quality websites is a factor but it means nothing without quality content.

One of my websites is relatively new. It has a Google PR3. That might seem an envious position. Using my Google Page Rank, I applied to one of those sites that pays for reviews. I was rejected. Why? Very little traffic. My site is generating a measly 300 unique visitors a month (May 2008). I just do not have enough quality content on that site as yet to make it attractive to sponsors.

So, you see, Page Rank is not always an indication of traffic. It simply means I have a number of back links from high quality sites. Google sees back links as votes. The more back links, the more votes, the higher the Page Rank. Quality content, on the other hand, is the secret to generating traffic. Not only that, quality is what leaves you there for years to come. Even if your site goes down, your quality content will still be found on the internet highway!

Quality content consists of profitable keywords and some solid information for your visitors. Don't make the mistake of producing content loaded with all sizzle and no steak. Your visitors can't eat sizzle. They need steak in the form of solid information they can use.

Concentrate on gathering every ‘profitable’ keyword, whether long tail or short and use them to craft your money terms which ultimately lets you rank high for very highly competitive keywords. Searches that are in the 5 figures a day.

Long tail are keywords of more than 2 words (less people searching) and a short tail is 2 or less words (more people searching). Remember long tail keywords are ONLY typed in by a searcher IF they can’t find what they are looking for using short tail keyword phrases. If you provide solutions for short tail keyword searches then people won’t leave your site to search on long tail keywords.

This is the secret hidden in plain sight that 95% of your competition is ignoring. They break away from the simple rules and try something extensively different and difficult because the simple methods seem too good to be true to work. That’s their mistake that you can use to your advantage!

Stay away from fads. Save your money and make good use of your valuable time and effort doing what has always worked.

The boss of search engines is still Google. Follow what Google wants and you WILL be rewarded. It takes just as much time to cheat the search engines as it does to apply solid, honest techniques. The trickster will see his efforts vanish within 3 months. You will still be around making money.

The simple methods are here to stay and you need to never worry about algorithm changes as you will have the right structured site, with the right set of keywords and the right content that search engines will love. Whether you want to profit from Adsense, affiliates, your own product or service, these strategies will outperform 99% of all your competitors

Want to get ranked on Google within 60 minutes? No hocus pocus … just plain and simple? Do what I do every other day - submit articles to article directories. When we submit to article directories, the good ones with PR 6 and above, we automatically get their pulling power when Google spiders visits their site. Since Google regularly visits high PR sites, they re-cache (re-index) the entire page. So, when you post an article on a high PR site, the chances are that you could extract Google spiders from the high PR site to yours.

For example: you post an article to a directory site, Google visits it, crawls it and follows the links. Since you have a new keyword optimized article, Google will catch you on that page. So basically you can practically have your page cached within 60 minutes, depending on when Google is visiting.

Send out your content to these high PR (articles directory) sites and get indexed faster than ever and watch the traffic start flowing.

Understanding is The Secret by Richard Blackstone

Life is full of magic once you learn the tools of the magician. The secret is to use the law of attraction to advance your spiritual growth through continuous spirituality information designed to reach clarity on the life process. So how do we get from where ever we are to where we choose to be? What is the basic requirement that allows us to move toward the vision we hold of ourselves that reflects the highest values of what we wish to be? The bottom line tool that you need to pull out of your inventory of ideas and concepts is the tool of understanding. That is the reason you are reading this article and are in the process of developing a clearer understanding of the true nature of how things work. The words and concepts in this article have the potential to allow you to view life in a manner that is intended to serve you. They have the potential to allow you to see life from another perspective. This is what understanding is. It is to view the subject matter from many perspectives so that you can see what serves you best. I have been so blessed in my own life to have woken up to the reality of knowing “who I really am,” and from this knowingness I have been able to bring into my awareness the tools that have allowed me to reach clarity on the true nature of how things work. This wasn't always the case in my life. I spent over four decades mired deeply within the illusion that I was a separate entity on this planet and I bought into the prevailing belief system, which I was born into and grew up with, that told me I had to fend for myself because, “It's a jungle out there and the best way to get through life was to learn the rules, work hard and acquire as much money as you could so that you could proclaim yourself to be successful.” So that is what I did. I studied hard so I could learn the rules of the game and stay on the leading edge of the learning curve. I worked really hard to prove to myself and the world that if hard work is what it took to be successful, then I could work as hard as anyone to achieve that goal.

This “process” allowed me to accumulate money and I could purchase those worldly material possessions that are designed and marketed to us to make us believe that by the mere possession of these material items you could proclaim to the world that you were a winner. I learned the rules, I worked really hard and I accumulated the money. These actions gave the impression, to the physical world that I knew, through the image I projected, that I had reached the ideal that I was told to strive for. The ideal of “being successful.” By most of my societies standards I was successful. Well then, why didn't I feel successful? And why was it that this accumulation of money and material possessions did not fill the void of my definition of success? You see, I went through those years of my life engaged in a process. It was a process that was based on what I held as my belief system. That is, the beliefs that I held about life dictated how I conducted my life. I developed this understanding of life purely by osmosis. Nobody formally tutored me about the basic concepts of life and I didn't attend any educational classes that were designed to let me explore all the options and perspectives available to me. The prevailing belief system was a fear-based belief system stemming from the concept that we are a single entity, known as the label of our names, and this single entity was separate from all other people, places and things known to me. That's okay. That's the way it was and that would have remained the way I lived my life if I hadn't woken up to the knowledge and understanding of the way life really works and to the knowing of who I really am. I thought I understood the process of life but all I really understood was the illusion that I had created from the dysfunctional beliefs that kept telling me that I was a separate person from all other people, all other life forms, all other things that exist (seen and unseen) and separate from the source of all that is.


It is this illusion of separation that holds you hostage to “understanding” at a deep level “who you really are.” Seek “understanding” and you will liberate yourself to see your world from a whole new perspective.
