...Whatever strategy you choose, you probably rehearse it a couple of times in your mind, and you spend time thinking about it. In other words, you're practising too. |
But that's just strategy. It's different than meditating on your desire for half an hour each day. And it's different than putting a note on your bathroom mirror that says "I will find love" thinking the note itself will bring love. Whatever metaphysical LoA method you use to manifest your intentions, it's not the same thing.
