Manifesting with the Law of Attraction

There are so many people just learning about The Law of Attraction who say they wish they had learned it when they were younger. “Oh how different their life would be!” they exclaim.

I’m here to tell you that it is never too late to learn or to reap the benefits of this wonderful way of thinking.

The perfect example of this is a recent episode that was on Oprah Winfrey‘s show. She was doing a follow-up on The Secret and more ways people could learn to use the Law of Attraction in their lives.

She had as one of her guests, Louise Hay. Talk about inspiring! Louise Hay did not start learning about the Law of Attraction until she was 50 years old. However, now at 81 she has accomplished more within the last 30 years than most people accomplish in their entire lifetimes! (Not to mention she also looks awesome!)

Louise Hay is a best selling author as well as the extremely successful publisher of Hay House books. If you have purchased any best selling Law of Attraction books over the last 10 years or so, you might be very familiar with the name.

This is a woman who has an extremely difficult upbringing. Her childhood was unstable and impoverished, and her teen years were marked by abuse.

She went through a divorce after 14 years of marriage and when later in life she was diagnosed with cancer, she put her philosophies into practice and instead of using surgery or drugs, developed an intensive program of affirmations, visualization, nutritional cleansing and psychotherapy. Within six months she was cancer free.

In 1984 she published her book titled You Can Heal Your Life based on her own experiences and included the information she talked about in her work shops. It explains how our beliefs and ideas about ourselves are often the cause of our emotional problems and physical maladies and how, by using certain tools, we can change our thinking and our lives for the better.

It reached the New York Times bestseller list and stayed there for 13 consecutive weeks.

To date, over 35,000,000 copies of the books have been sold. But she didn’t stop there. She then became the head of Hay House , a prosperous corporation that has sold more than ten million books and tapes since it started. It includes authors such as Wayne Dyer, Doreen Virtue, among others. This was a venture she started in her living room.

She then proceeded to start the Hay Foundation and The Louise L. Hay Charitable Fund, two non-profit organizations established by Louise that support many diverse organizations, including those dealing with AIDS, battered women, and other challenged individuals in our society.

Now at 81 years old, she had just come out with her first movie release titled, You Can Heal Your Life: The Movie.

So let’s do a quick rundown shall we?

The Law of Attraction. Is it indeed an undisputed fact, or just wishful thinking? A story of my introduction to the concept may help you decide for yourself . . .

Five years ago, I moved to the outskirts of town to get away from all the hustle and bustle of city life. I was tired of traffic, and noise, and annoying neighbors and just wanted to get a place where I could stretch out and decompress at the end of a long day.

Boy did that plan backfire. Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for what I have but I’m certainly no closer to being able to relax than I was before. I’ve got more grass to cut, no maintenance man to fix leaking faucets and I’ve managed to add a dozen more traffic lights to my commute in the morning and every afternoon than I otherwise had before I moved.

Traffic lights. I absolutely hate them. I catch every single red light no matter what the time of day, no matter the volume of traffic or my observation of the posted speed limits: It just does not seem to matter.

I catch every one, and that is not an exaggeration. I also do not just randomly catch the light either, it’s always just as it’s turning red, thus ensuring the absolute maximum wait time possible.

I was at one of these lights a couple of years back, silently cursing the powers that be and I remember asking myself how was it even possible that I caught every single light every single time I steped into my automobile?

The thought occurred to me that perhaps the devil was tempting me, trying to make me stressed and angry and down right insane. How else to explain this freak of nature? You could not simply chalk it up to sheer luck or coincidence, the odds were just to astronomical to even consider it. There had to be an outside force acting upon me and these infuriating lights.

I remember getting into work that morning and opening up an email from a very dear fiend of mine with an urgent request to open the attachment she had sent along on this new theory sweeping the nation. It was a review of the movie The Secret and an encapsulated discussion on the basic theory of the Law of Attraction.

The rest is history I suppose. I saw the movie, read everything I could get my hands on about this “new” idea, and even attended more than half a dozen seminars on the subject, all because of three little words mentioned in that first email.

Like attracts Like.

You see, the power of this idea did not manifest itself in some silly little affirmation idea or in the form of a check out of the blue that I had convinced myself I was already in possession of. No, it came in quite the opposite way actually. Sitting at stop light after stoplight silently cursing the universe and the powers that be as to why they felt the need to bestow this misery upon my tortured soul day in and day out.

It happened because basically, I commanded it to. Simply asking myself why I hit every red light attracted and manifested that thought into the reality of actually hitting everyone.

The universe was even compelled to go so far as moving me further from my job to allow me to receive even more of what my mind was calling out for.

The universe has no idea that these emotions are good or bad, nor does it care. It simply provides you what you ask it for and the way each and everyone of us ask for things is through our daily thoughts and emotions. Combine the two and you are guaranteed to receive it.

Eventually, through controlled and deliberate thinking, I was able to undo a great deal of the damage done and hit fewer and fewer red lights. The ones I still hit, and am okay with now that I know it’s nothing personal and I’m just probably stuck behind someone with my old thought patterns, I take these opportunities to focus on something that I want to happen in my life and really focus my emotions and intent on acquiring it.

Truth be told, I actually look forward to the red lights now for this very reason and the results have been phenomenal, not to mention what the reduced stress level has done for my overall health and happiness.

It does no harm trying this principle and it could change your life. I don’t know why anyone would resist the idea and possibly miss out on the chance to change their entire world for the better.

A friend once asked me, “Does it mean I do not have to lift a finger in order to attract something to me?”

I gave him a resounding NO for an answer.

The law of attraction leads to the law of least effort, not no-effort. The least effort conserves physical energy, maintains creativity & productivity & sustains health (less stress). This is done two ways:

1. The realization of our desires through the law of attraction comes not in a bundled package, but a series of opportunities that we should recognize & take advantage of. If you want to be have new car, you will not instantly acquire one just because you have been visualizing & affirming it. Certain events will happen first but it will eventually lead you to acquiring this new car. Some call these events “coincidences”

Even with coincidences, we still have to do action for nothing is accomplished without it. However, with the law of attraction we know that our actions are already geared towards the manifestation of what we want. Knowing this can boost our energy levels & will make any daunting tasks seemed like child’s play. That is why the law of attraction equates with the law of least effort.

2. The law of attraction teaches us that any changes we want to have in our reality must start from within. We must accept it in our mind that it is, indeed, already a reality. We must trust in the process. This eliminates the negative emotions that tend to drain us of our physical energy. The positive emotions that remain are indicators that you are on the track towards your goal and they lead again to doing inspired actions with least efforts.
