A more passive or active style of approaching?

[mark4change]

Hey I have read alot about attarction in its various guises and i have noticed that there tend to be 2 general styles that people use.

For example one is the more active style which involes
1) Saying what you want to happen as many times as possible
2) Saying it with as much emotion as possible.

Ther other is the more passive style of attracting in which you
1) Ask for it once...
2) ...then forget about it and trust that its going to happen.

Obvioulsy there are pros and cons to each approach, but I am interested what is the approach that most people use and find actually works?

Hmmmmmmmmmm - I've been super active talking to people about my 2010 Prius, Sandy Beach, visualizing it like crazy, imagining unloading with groceries. I know it's going to be my next car. My current car has been well cared for and totally appreciated. I've test driven the Prius and keep the sales brochure next to my bed.

I recently located a dealership who has the car in my Sandy Beach color. I used their pictures of the car to create a vision board and wrote in happy letters "Thank You". Ever since I've done this my whole being seemed to shift. The fun of 'actively visualizing as if I'm using the car' has suddenly stopped....

Could it be that I've got both approaches going on here? The active style before and now the ask once?

hi
Well i think affirmations play a major role whether you say it passively or actively depends on each one,the one i follow is stand in front of the mirror and say my affirmations loudly .. but at the same time while on my way to work i keep saying them in my mind. so that they remain active whole day long.

In the secret they say to only ask once but I think what they mean is only ask for it once formerly eg

I want a ferrari F40 for example.

After that you should still use visualisation and affirmations as much as possible I think.
What does everyone else think?

PS Diana yes I think you have maybe got to the point where you needed to detach form it you have realised this unconsiously that you have done all you needed to do.

Mark, you're right! you should be sincere with your visualizations and affirmations..but please remember to not worry about the results or show impatience.

The law of attraction is the law that regulates supply in our physical world. Our supply is our good - i.e. whatever we want and need to live a happy, healthy, comfortable life. You get to name the supply that shows up in your life.

The law of attraction has two components: desire and expectation. Both are required for manifestation.

Desire is the motive power for calling your supply forth into visible appearance. It is no use to desire a thing unless you expect to get it, either in part or in full. Desire without expectation is idle wishing. You waste valuable energy when you desire without expectation.

Continuous expectation is necessary to bring what you want into reality in your life. You can think of expectation like gravity. It's a drawing force that acts in the invisible realm.

Never expect a thing you do not want, and never desire a thing you do not expect. When you expect something you do not want, you attract the undesirable, and when you desire a thing that is not expected, you simply waste your precious mental energy. On the other hand, when you constantly expect the thing that you persistently desire, your ability to attract becomes irresistible.

Desire connects you with what you want and expectation brings it into your life. This is the Law.
