So we now understand a little about the Law of Attraction how do we go
about actually using it in our lives? This is where I believe
'Cosmic Ordering' comes in. The Law of Attraction
is the theory; 'Cosmic Ordering' is the practise.
If you read all the different books, there are many ways to do cosmic
ordering. Some people light candles on the night of a full moon and
create a whole ritual around it. Some people just shout out to the
Universe whatever it is they want, and some do something in between.
For myself, I've found it best to keep things fairly simple.
I don’t agree with making a big fuss about it, but I do feel
you have to take it seriously (depending on the
'order' of course.) Some things I may just say
aloud to the Universe "Can we have an efficiently working
computer today, please!" but I feel that actual
'things' or big situations need handling a bit
differently.
I have created a 'Universal Ordering Book' for
myself. I just found a pretty, blank notebook and I've
actually typed up the forms and sheets and stuck them in. That way I
could use a pretty typeface and make it look good. (The actual orders I
hand-write in as I go along.) At the front of the book on the inside
left I've stuck in a sheet, which I call my 'Terms
and Conditions'. Here I have put "I ask that all
these things or better come in wonderful ways and for the benefit of
all." This allows for something even better than I
had imagined coming along, allows it to come in wonderful ways, and
also ensures that everyone will benefit from my orders. Of course, you
can create your own 'Terms and Conditions'.
On the front right and the next few pages, I've created
tables with three columns each. The first (widest) column is labelled
'Order', the second column is labelled
'Send By' and the third column is labelled
'Order Received'. In the first column I write my
'orders' i.e. "A new mobile phone with
all the whistles and bells". In the second column I write a
date when I would like to receive the order by (usually just the month
and year, or a.s.a.p. if it's urgent.) The third column I
only fill in when my order has been delivered. I put a short date in
there and a lovely glittery star or heart sticker to acknowledge
receipt of my order after it's arrived.
In the middle of the book, I've created another sheet. This
one's called my 'Gratitude Sheet'. On it
I've put 'I willingly accept all of these wonderful
things with a grateful heart and give thanks for the good they bring
and for their presence in my life.' You could use mine, or
write your own 'gratitude statement'. Then
I've created another table. This is my 'Orders
Fulfilled' table. This one only has two columns,
'Item' and 'Date Order
Received'. In here, I write whenever something wonderful or
unexpected happens or when I receive an order. Sometimes wonderful
things come about which we haven't even ordered and
it's lovely to acknowledge and be grateful for those too. If
you didn't have these 'gratitude' pages,
you wouldn't have anywhere to write them.
At the back of the book, I've written a couple of pages about
my main order. I've written it as if it were already
manifested and written down all the reasons I feel excited, happy,
etc., and what I am doing now that I have fulfilled my dream. You could
use this section to describe the kind of life you want to live, or the
main relationship in your life, or even describe yourself in the best
of health. Remember to phrase it positively. You want to be asking for
what you do want, not what you don't want, otherwise the
Universe will simply deliver that. The point of these pages is to help
you get clear about what you really want and enable you to give thanks
that it's now on its way to you.
Once your book is set up you can begin filling it. Begin with small
orders first and watch your confidence grow as you achieve them. Write
your order as if you were ordering it from a catalogue i.e.
'A new digital camera', 'Good health
always' etc. then put the date you wish to receive it.
Remember, that you're asking for 'This, or
something better' so the Universe may decide to send your
order sooner or later than you requested. Don't worry about
this. Just put your approximate date. And don't begin by
ordering too much at once, otherwise you'll get confused and
it will seem like a lot to have happen. Just stick to a few simple
things to start with. Remember, this ordering is not just for
'goods'. You can ask for information, guidance,
even help with relationships or health. If you're having
doubts, you could always ask for faith in the process or even that your
cosmic ordering always be successful!
If you make your book really beautiful you will enjoy looking at it
each morning and evening and this will help to reinforce your
intentions and remind you of your orders. Some authors say we should
just place our order and forget it, but how, I wonder, will we know if
our orders are being fulfilled, if we've forgotten we ordered
them in the first place?
When an order 'arrives' put a bright sticker or big
tick next to it and then add it to the gratitude table as well. Also
add any other lovely things that happen to you there. When you read
this through, you will feel good knowing that great things are
happening for you and it will reinforce your ability to allow things
into your life and enhance your ordering potential.
I also like to add another step... Writing things down neatly
in my Universal Order Book, appeals to my left-logical brain, but
I've also got a cork board and on it I stick, write, draw,
and print out pictures of my desires too. That way, I’m
appealing to my right-intuitive brain as well. That side of my brain,
which loves colour and imagery. My board sits in front of my desk so
that when I'm working, I can look up at it and imagine myself
receiving/using the lovely things on it. That way, I'm
constantly aware of how the Universe is working for me to help bring my
desires into my life. Perhaps you could create one too...
Now leaf through your book once or twice a day, look at your board, and
you'll have a constant reminder of all the good the Universe
is sending you. Try and get the 'feeling' that what
you want is on it's way. Become excited at the prospect.
It's the 'feeling' that helps create your
desires as much as anything.
The Universe may require some help from you to fulfil your order. Once
you've placed your order be willing to act on any
'hunches' or ideas you have. These may lead you to
the fulfilment of your order. A general rule about this is, if it feels
good and right, do it.
It's not really ideal to 'pretend' that
you already have your orders, because, somewhere deep in the back of
your mind, you'll be saying 'rubbish!'
and this will work against you. It's better if you just take
the attitude that it's coming to you now (just as if
you'd ordered something from Amazon.) And please
don't give up. Too many people wait ages for things, then,
just when the Universe is about to deliver, they give up and proclaim,
"This stuff doesn't work." Well, you can
probably tell me what happens next! Yes, you're right. It
doesn't work!
If you can take the attitude that the things in your life now are a
result of your past thoughts and that, from today, you will gradually
begin to change your thoughts and ideas to more positive, uplifting
ones, you won't go far wrong. And as each
'order' manifests itself for you you'll
become more and more positive and happy, which, in turn, will create
more and more positivity and happiness. Ad infinitum!
