Questions that will Boost Your Law of Attraction Proficiency
By Amy Phillips-Gary

Crossword puzzles, word scrambles and other word games increase your vocabulary and spelling.

Math games like Sudoku sharpen your skill with numbers.

Even computer and video games like Tetris can improve your small motor skills and keep your brain functioning efficiently.

These are all past-times that many of us engage in regularly.

So why not make it part of your daily routine to boost your Law of Attraction (LOA) proficiency?

Becoming more adept at knowing affirmatively what you want and then coming into a receiving mode so that it can come to you is most definitely a worthwhile use of time and energy.

In fact, when you boost your LOA proficiency, you'll probably find that you now have more time and energy for whatever pleases and inspires you.

I can guess what you might be thinking right now...

“I've read all about the Law of Attraction and have had some marginal success manifesting what I want. But, for the most part, I just do the best I can with what life throws my way.”

You may have had some LOA successes along the way in which you put out a request to the Universe for something and it actually came into your life.

These are sweet moments!

But perhaps those sweet moments have been too few and too rare.

For the most part, it may seem to you that the Law of Attraction is a tool that others use to create the lives they desire...it doesn't often feel like it works for you the way that you'd like it to.

Where many of us short-circuit our manifesting.
You've probably got the “ask for what you want” part of the LOA down-- or so you think.

Many times we end up asking the Universe for what we DON'T want, rather than what we do want.

This is almost always happens inadvertently and unknowingly.

For example, If I want a new car, I might cut out pictures of the brand-new Prius I desire and tack them on my vision board. I might even visualize myself driving this new car. I may have the color and extras like GPS and awesome stereo system picked out too.

But what I am feeling on the inside as I'm doing all of this visualizing and vision boarding is this: “How can I make car payments on a Prius with my limited budget?” “I've never had a new car before. Is this even realistic for me?”

It is questions like these-- and the kind of energy and emotion that go along with them-- that prevent that new car from coming to me easily, quickly or at all.

As you set about manifesting the relationship, health, wellness, happiness, money, job or whatever it is that you want, listen to yourself. Feel into yourself.

Are the questions you are asking yourself blocking the way?

Do your underlying beliefs and feelings end up attracting to you the same situations and conditions that you currently feel stuck in-- or even those that are worse?

Change your questions, change your life.
It's all about the questions you ask yourself. When you recognize that you are asking questions that run counter to your aspiration, change the question.

Of course, you might continue to encounter those beliefs and feelings that keep you stuck. But changing your questions is a great way to begin shifting and moving closer to what you really desire.

In his book, Matrix Energetics, visionary energy worker Richard Bartlett emphasizes how important it is to pay attention to the questions you are asking.

He reports that he regularly asks himself, “What haven't I thought of yet?” or “What can I discover that will serve to confuse as well as enlighten me a little more today?”

These two open-ended questions can literally rock your world...and boost your LOA proficiency.

After all, many of the things that you are asking the Universe for are conditions, experiences and things that aren't currently present in your life.

It can be really tough to “see” yourself in the kind of passionate and loving relationship which you are longing for if you've never been in a relationship like that, for instance.

We tend to trap ourselves in a box we call “my reality.”

Even as we ask for a fabulous relationship or a brand new car, these foreign concepts just don't fit in that “my reality” box. As hard as we try to manifest them, they remain always outside that box.

However, when we use open-ended questions, we can loosen the confines of our boxes. We create space for new realities-- those that can include the new car and dynamic relationship.

Develop broad questions about the situations that feel most immovable to you. You can even do this in steps as you become more and more accustomed to an expanded possible reality.

You might ask yourself, “What does financial abundance look like?” and also “What would it feel like for me to easily and excitedly welcome a brand new Prius into my life?”

Later, you can move to “What WILL it feel like for me to easily and excitedly welcome a brand new Prius into my life?”

Don't worry about those pesky “how” questions for now. This is about you creating space in your conception of reality so that what you want can make its way to you joyously, effortlessly and soon.
