How does law of attraction work?

Most of you would probably know of the best selling book "Think And Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill and many people have claimed that the book changed their thinking and have seen their personal wealth grow. If people can think and grow rich, then can people think and grow thin? Can thinking to be thin help you to lose weight?

Since the released of Rhonda Byrne's "The Secret" DVD and book, the Law of Attraction (LOA), which is the essence of her work has swept the world by storm. If you are unfamiliar with the law of attraction, then the simplistic definition of the law of attraction is that you attract to you what are in your dominant thoughts and what you are focused on.
 
In other words, you get what you think. Of course there are more to it than just merely wishful thinking and if you want to know more, the internet is full of articles on the application of law of attraction.

Weight loss or gain using law of attraction

Experts in the law of attraction such as Bob Proctor, John Assaraf and some others who appeared in "The Secret" explained that recent breakthroughs in neuroscience along with understanding mental laws, reveal why the "law of attraction" and "positive thinking" work regardless of whether you look at the theory from a metaphysical or a scientific point of view in a Larry King show.

Scientists have long known that your subconscious is completely neutral and impartial and it will carry out any instructions you give it. In other words, you can use the law of attraction to attract love, to lose or gain weight, attract wealth, quit smoking or whatever you desire.

Unfortunately, many of us are still running negative programs we picked up from others as children when our subconscious minds were totally open and impressionable, or which we have developed over the years as a result of repetition of our own negative thinking.

Yes, many of you may say to me now that you have been thinking of losing weight, but is still getting fatter and fatter. You see, when you are thinking of losing weight, you are using your conscious mind, but what is your subconscious mind thinking? Let me list a few examples :-

a) I am too fat, so I need to lose weight – This thinking cancels out each other. Yes, you want to lose weight, but you are also thinking about being fat. The law of attraction do not react to whether you want it or do not want it, it just delivers to you what you are thinking and focused on.

b) My family members are fat, so I am genetically programed to be fat – I don't need to explain this further. It is a self limiting thought and guess what? If you think you are fat, then you are. Period.

c) I wish to be thin – Now merely wishing is not good enough, the law of attraction will just entertain your wish. You will always be wishing.

d) It is difficult to lose weight – Then you will never lose weight because it will always be difficult for you to lose weight.

So when you do not lose weight even if you have always wanted to, it could be because of your self limiting subconscious thoughts. Our own thoughts when repeated often enough are programed into our subconscious mind and most of the time we do not even know that they are there sabotaging us. These thoughts then become our beliefs, habits and automatic behavior.

To change your results, you must overwrite old negative programming and instill new positive programming into your subconscious mind. If you are getting more of the same or negative results in your life such as not being able to attract more wealth, good health or the body shape you desire, then you have probably been unconsciously running old negative programs and reinforcing them with daily negative thought patterns.

How to get rid of limiting beliefs and negative thoughts

There are a few techniques you can use to get rid of limiting believes and negative thoughts such as using goal setting, affirmations and creative visualizations. I will not describe in detail how these methods work here as books are written on them. However, from personal experiences, the best method is using self hypnosis.

You see, instead of spending a lot of money for a hypnosis therapist to help you find out your self limiting negative thoughts (there may be thousands of them) in your subconscious mind and re-program new positive thoughts into it, you can now do it yourself through self hypnosis sessions through CDs or MP3s.
