1. Go to a quiet, private place where you won't be disturbed. Sit up with your spine straight and close your eyes.

2. Go to alpha. If you don't know how, try something like this:

(a) Keep your body very still

(b) Take very slow, very deep breaths, pausing for two seconds at the end of each exhalation.

(c) Keep focusing on your breath (for example, keep your attention on the sensation of air moving around your nostril area as you breathe)

(d) As soon as you realise your thoughts have strayed, bring your attention to your nostril area

After five minutes or so, your mind will be clear and free of distracting, irrelevant thoughts. Now you are ready to manifest your red hats.

3. With your eyes still closed, visualise a red hat, as if it were floating 30 com in front of your face. Make it very detailed. You can see the design, the fabric, the colour, the brand tag, observe the little crease here, the small strap there.

4. Physically, literally reach out with two hands and imagine that you are touching the red hat. Hold the red hat, feel its texture, turn the hat around, look at it from different angles.

5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 with 2 or 3 other red hats, each of a different design.

6. Now clear away all the images and affirm to yourself: "There are many red hats. I will see many red hats. I do see many red hats. I like to see red hats. I expect many red hats to enter my reality. Red hats are very common."

7. End your exercise with some words like, "I expect this to be so. I believe this to be so. Yes, it is so. I will see many red hats."

Comments:

(a) Key here is accessing alpha.

(b) Visualising is important.

(c) Visualising is not just images. It's also other physical senses, like touch.

(d) Actual movement of your hands to hold the red hat may sound silly. However, this is a pretty important point. Faith healers also move their hands a lot, as if energy was a physical thing and they can actually physically feel it.

Thank YOU! I will try this. Finally, someone gives a clear description of exactly how to attract something.

I think I've come to see I don't really believe in the "Law of Attraction," which is an entirely different thing than "Intentional Manifestation," and the jury's still out on that one for me, although some people here apparently are very, very good at this, and it gives me hope.

The way ALG, for instance, approaches all this is so very different from a lot of the comments I hear which don't seem to have any solid foundation in the subject. Such as:

"I wanted something and then a few days later I forgot about it and then it happened."

"I was afraid of something and then it happened and so I caused it."

"I wanted something and I guess I wanted it too much because it still hasn't happened."

"I intended to see something and it took two weeks but then I saw it."

"If you want to manifest a red hat all you have to do is go down to the hat store and that counts as LoA."

"If you want to manifest a red hat all you have to do is come to this forum and say so, and somebody will put up a picture of one, and that counts as LoA."

"I had a random thought and then it occurred in reality."

It's like, how many billions of random thoughts do we have that don't occur? (Thank goodness.) Why one out of a billion? And then why say we created that one thing to happen, but none of the others?

I should stop debating this subject, about whether LoA exists in an all-encompassing way or not, because I don't think my debating it is doing me or anyone else any good (other than when somebody thanked me for joining in the frustration, lol).

I thought Intention-Manifestation and the Law of Attraction were the same thing. What's the difference?
