What Your Wedding Vows and 'The Secret' Have in Common

What your Wedding Vows and ‘The Secret’Have In CommonIn the movie, ‘The Secret,’ we were told the secret was that each of us operated under the Law of Attraction.For all of us that means whatever we have created in mind and hold fast to will be created in our life whether we want it to or not.We believe all our experiences are random.

We can't see where most of it makes any sense because there is a lot of what we are experiencing and living that we do not want in our lives.

Therefore, we believe that we have no control.And it does often appear that way.

However, your life's experiences aren't random and your life at this point definitely happens from you. I say it that way because most of your beliefs and ideas on how life works came from when you were growing up and you simply took it all in and told yourself it was true.You became a human doing and kept repeating your experiences over and over again.On the Oprah show a while ago there was a woman who was talking about her pattern of attracting men. It could have been a man talking about attracting women. It’s all the same when we are talking about the law of attraction.She kept attracting abusive, alcoholic men until one relationship made her take a good hard look at herself at which point she asked herself why she kept attracting the same kind of person.Her realization was that she liked drama. She then began to create a different image of herself. She began by changing her ideas and beliefs and created a brand new paradigm, or pattern.When she did that she attracted and married a very successful man who was not addicted to violent drama. (He was in the computer field! That’s a different kind of drama.)The whole point of what I’m writing is that she realized that she was in charge of her life and that she could choose the life she wanted.

So she went to work imagining herself in a new way.

She changed her expectations.

She got very clear about the kind of man she really wanted in her life.

When she made those changes in her mind she literally saw with different eyes and felt with new emotions.

Because she changed herself she changed her outward experiences!OK, how does that apply to you?Since my focus is on wedding vows and marriage, and what I write about in my Ebook, How to Write Meaningful Wedding Vows that Create Powerful Marriageshttp://www.weddingvowsandceremonies.com/.is about creating a mold, a foundation, a mental picture of the kind of life the two of you want to create with your marriage, I’m going to help you to understand just how powerful that can be to creating, or attracting, the life you want. . . .. . . The life you imagined when you wrote your wedding vows!
(Play along with me even if you haven't written your vows yet. And it's never too late even if the wedding is over.)You were conscious of what you wanted.You shaped it.Sculpted it.Imagined it in living color.You created a mental and emotional idea!By taking the opportunity to write your own wedding vows and infuse them with power and passion, you have created in mind a powerful magnet. You are then consciously begining to be the creator of your life. You are consciously choosing to use the law of attraction.I say, ‘beginning,’ because if the dream that you give voice to does not match what your family experience was, you will fall into old patterns easily.You MUST keep your vision alive. When you do that the law of attraction will work in your favor.Keep reviewing the dream by reading your vows, checking in with each other once a month, and consciously choosing your thoughts and actions.You then begin to receive ideas that support the dream.And you won’t even know you are doing it.All because you dared to dream a big dream.To catch a new idea.A new idea for a phenomenal marriage and partnership.It works something like this:What can be referred to as the manifestation process unfolds from thought, or idea, to emotion (“This feels good, Yes!” --which means you are allowing it.) to form.Ideas actually are form as energy. Einstein said a long time ago that mass and energy are equal. In thought science that means the energy you create around an idea has to be reproduced in form.If you continue to affirm your wedding vows by reading them every day, you will experience those ideas being expressed in form, or what we call, reality.You will be able to touch them, feel them, see them, etc.Here is an example of how this might play out:Let’s say that by keeping the dream in front of you, one day or night you have the idea to sign up for dancing lessons. This would never have occurred to you in the past. But all of a sudden it seems like a good idea.A great idea.An important idea.That’s the first step of the law of attraction. You caught an idea. You had a thought.There isn’t anything to contradict it. It’s a strong emotion of ‘yes.’Then in the next day you receive an advertisement in the mail for a special at a local dance studio. And your spouse, who would never have dreamt of taking dance lessons is as excited as you.You acted right away (another important step) and signed up for the lessons.Without imprinting the vision and dream for your life together you would never have thought about those dance lessons.Somehow the law of attraction knew that dance lessons were important and orchestrated that advertisement.Don’t ask me how it works. No one knows how this works. We only know why it works!But something special happened because you said ‘yes’ and took action.The dance lessons became a weekly date night. (Commandment #5)
You moved together in a rhythm as ONE, with a purpose, a goal, a dream. (Commandment #7)You were focused on a solution, not a problem. (Commandment #9 )You enjoyed yourself and had fun. (Commandment #10)This is just one way the law of attraction worked because you took the time and energy to write meaningful wedding vows that create powerful marriages and phenomenal relationships.________________________________You can purchase the Ebook, How to Write Meaningful Wedding Vows and Create a Powerful Marriage, athttp://www.weddingvowsandceremonies.com/________________________________To download a copy of the 10 Commandments of Marriage at no charge and without having to leave your Email address follow this link: http://www.weddingvowsandceremonies.com/marriage/marriagecommandments.pdf
