disastrous. Think about what would happen if every fleeting thought you had showed up in your life. Great! BANG! Now your ex is sitting in your living room with you and your spouse while you are all cozy and watching a movie about apes in the rain forest. You hear a ruckus in the kitchen and find an Orangutan pillaging your refrigerator. The doorbell rings and all of your creditors show up at your front door and your in-laws are with them. You get the point. Thoughts careen through our conscious at a dizzying pace and gratefully, they remain only that, passing thoughts.
Communicating our most ardent desires to the universe in such a way that they invoke the law of attraction is an altogether different matter - one that requires very intense emotional states. The basic law of attraction formula is as follows:
1. Visualize what you want as if it is a present reality (in the now).
2. Give it power through color, brightness, contrast, volume, closeness, sound, intensity, etc. and be associated.
3. Feel what you would feel already having it and amplify that great feeling.
4. Be grateful, say Thank You! for it's arrival.
5. Release it with the knowledge that it is done.
NLP offers a superb tool for supercharging steps two and three - anchoring. Anchoring is simply a mechanism for associating a specific stimulus with a specific response. This is something that is already quite natural for everyone. For example, you hear a certain song that strongly reminds you a particular time, place and emotion from your past. Songs from our teenage years seem to hold the most power. Or you encounter a smell, perhaps a perfume, for example, that has a similar effect. These are anchors and they can be created at will.
The idea when using the law of attraction formula is to generate as much powerful emotion as possible when you are imagining what you desire as already being yours. So we are going to use anchoring to make that happen. You can use music, smell, touch and any other of your senses to create the anchor but for our illustration here, we will use touch. So find a nice, comfy place to sit. Spend a few minutes deep breathing and relaxing all your muscles. The close your eyes and remember one of the most joyful experiences of your life. Your first car, your wedding, a great vacation, the birth of a child, a sports victory, whatever holds immense emotional power for you. Imagine that you are in that moment again, reliving it. When you feel you are at the peak of that experience, squeeze firmly on the area between your thumb and index finger with your opposite hand. Open your eyes and come back to the present. Now clear your mind by thinking of something entirely different or doing a small, unrelated task. Now squeeze that same spot on your hand again and those joyful feelings should return. if they do not or are not very strong, repeat the process again. Once you are satisfied that the anchor is in place, use it during steps 2 and 3 of the law of attraction formula to create maximum emotional states.
This NLP anchoring process will enhance both the speed and effectiveness of the formula and also give you a great built in stress reliever whenever you need it. Try it and have fun!
