The 5 Best Law of Assumption Techniques

The law of assumption is constantly working to manifest things in your life, whether you 
are aware of it or not. Have you ever noticed that when you have an assumption about 
something, it ends up coming true? That was no accident. You believed something so 
intensely, that it hardened into fact thanks to the law of assumption. 

There are a variety of techniques can help you get into the state you need to be in in 
order to manifest using the law of assumption. Here are our top 5.


1. Affirmations

This is by far the best and easiest technique to learn when you are benefiting from the 
law of assumption. You already have assumptions that are hardened into fact, so it’s not 
a matter of learning how to have assumptions. We are all very good at that. But what we 
are not good at is assuming what we truly want is already in our reality. That is what 
affirmations can help you with.

Even if you don’t yet believe your affirmations and can’t even see how they would be 
possible, you just need to repeat them. Choose affirmations that really speak to you, 
that are written in a way that you would talk to a friend or a loved one. Choose a few 
affirmations for each thing you are manifesting, and loop them as often as you can. 

One day, you will realize you don’t need them anymore, because you “feel it real”. You 
feel as if it is already yours and you are living in this reality, living in your wish fulfilled. 
At that point, you know the affirmations have imprinted on your subconscious mind.


2. State Akin to Sleep/Looping Visualizations

One of Neville Goddard’s favorite techniques for the law of assumption is State Akin to 
Sleep, allow known as SATS. It is believed that during the 10-15 minutes shortly before 
you fall asleep, you are not just in a drowsy state, but an almost hypnotic state. It is a bit 
dream-like, where you are aware that you are still awake, but beginning to enter more of 
a dream-like state. It is here when it is easiest to reprogram your subconscious mind. 

Since the challenging part of the law of assumption is that it is hard for your conscious 
mind to live in the end, or assume what you want already exists, you can take 
advantage of SATS to convince your subconscious mind with visualizations and 
affirmations.

What Neville Goddard recommended is choosing a scene for your visualizations that 
you loop over and over again whenever you are experiencing SATS. If you can do this 
every night before bed when you feel drowsy, that’s perfect. But you can also do 
visualization whenever you are rested and at peace, such as before taking a nap, or 
when doing an activity that is mindless and your conscious brain won’t get in the way. 


3. I Remember When

This is another really simple technique that many people who follow Neville’s teachings 
will use. ‘I remember when’ is simply a way to reframe your thoughts and inner 
conversations. If you struggle with seeing yourself or your life a different way, and have 
a hard time looking past the 3D realty, then you can use this technique.

How it works is whenever you see something in your current reality you don’t like or that 
doesn’t align with your assumptions, instead of focusing on what you are seeing as the 
current reality, you tell yourself you remember when that was the reality for you. 
Creating the assumption that it is no longer in your reality. 

For example, if you are trying to lose weight, you might see your body in the mirror and 
have trouble living in your wish fulfilled, since you can clearly see your body is not yet 
where you want it to be. Instead of thinking or saying something negative about your 
body, just say “I remember when my body was this size” then follow it up with an 
affirmation about how you have a lean, fit body, or whatever your personal aesthetic 
goal is.


4. Eavesdropping

The eavesdropping technique is often used in visualizations or when you are affirming 
your assumptions, but are getting a little bored of just repeating the affirmations to 
yourself. It is a great way to combine affirmations and visualizations into one technique. 

With the eavesdropping technique, you are listening in or watching someone else you 
know talking about what you manifested. Maybe you are manifesting your dream home, 
and you hear your mom and sister having a conversation about how you just bought 
your dream home, it is perfect for you, you are so excited, and they are so proud of you. 

Eavesdropping works best with people you know well, because you know their voice 
and how they would talk about you. This works great when you struggle with 
visualization of yourself, with something you can’t quite see yet. Just imagine someone 
else talking about how you achieved t.


5. Using Placebos

The last technique you can try for the law of assumption is by using placebos. This is 
another way to affirm something and hold onto those assumptions you have. It is 
particularly useful when trying to achieve a change in your appearance or something 
tangible. 

You can create a placebo out of anything and everything. All you have to do is affirm 
that it is true. This is similar to doctors and scientists who used to give people sugar pills 
and tell them it’s a cure for their ailments. They assumed it was a real medication, and 
therefore they started feeling better. This is actually a way to see how the law of 
assumption works.

And you can do the same thing with your own assumptions, by creating placebos. If you 
have been using affirmations to lose weight, but feel like you need a little help, you can 
create a placebo. For example, create an assumption that every time you eat, you lose 
weight. Say this over and over again in order to imprint that assumption on your 
subconscious. “Every time I eat, I lose weight. Every time I eat, I lose weight. Every time 
I eat, I lose weight”. This is another way to word affirmations where you are creating 
placebos, so that you create an assumption that makes it easier for you to lose weight.
