If you haven't already heard Abraham talk about the power of 17 seconds, here's a quick recap from "Ask and It Is Given":
"Within 17 seconds of focusing on something, a matching vibration becomes activated and the Law of Attraction will bring you more thoughts that match. At this point, the vibration will not have much attraction power, but if you maintain your focus longer, the power of the vibration will become further reaching. If you manage to stay purely focused upon any thought for as little as 68 seconds, the vibration is powerful enough that its manifestation begins."
Now 68 seconds might not sound like a big deal, but see if you can even
get to 8 before a gremlin thought pops in. I've found it's easier said
than done.
But I found something that makes it easier. For those not familiar
with the
Psych-K process for rewriting beliefs, the first half of the formula can
be very helpful in achieving those 17 pure positive seconds. And with
just a little practice, I think you'll find yourself sailing all the way to
68!
Here's how I've amended the process for myself. I offer a handful of
answers to each of the following questions:
Example, I'm giving myself "Best Shape Ever" this year for my birthday.
Instead of just doing action journey by slaving away at the gym or dieting
my heart out (since I know it's not the action that matters as much as my
thoughts) - I'm leveraging LOA to easily and swiftly bring me best shape
ever. So I consider the questions:
What do I see that shows I'm in my best shape ever? A
closet full of size six clothes. Men taking a second appreciative look
when they think I'm not looking. Dogs running ahead of and behind me
as we easily jog the trail together.
What do I hear others say? "What did YOU do so
right?" "You look years younger!" "Hey, are you single by any
chance?"
What do I hear myself saying to others? "Bikini
party? Count me in!" "Do you have this in a smaller size?"
"Oh, am I walking too fast for you?"
What would I feel? Fabulous in my clothes. Lots
of extra room. I feel very stretchy and flexible and strong. I
feel like jumping in to help others with physical tasks - because after all,
I am in my best shape ever!
Okay, the time it takes me to get through those answers is probably
somewhere between 17 and 68 seconds, and virtually all of it was pure
positive pleasant delicious thought. (It takes a little practice, but
it pays off BIG time.)
