Law of Attraction and Manifesting Your Desires

The Law of Attraction has been the subject of debates between the believers & the skeptics. Some people wouldn’t even call it a law. However, The Secret which is a documentary about the law of attraction, has gained worldwide fame and has become an immense business success. The owner of this site is a firm believer of the law of attraction & manifesting through her own experiences for 10 years now.

Simply put, the law of attraction states “what is within, is without”. That which is contained within your mind can be materialized in your outward reality. You attract whatever you focused your mind on or whatever you accept & believe with certainty.

For many centuries now the law of attraction has been used by successful men & women along with action. Long before The Secret came, there were already numerous books written about it. Even so much better than The Secret. Two of the most famous and the probably the most exploited in the internet’s law of attraction niche are the Science of Getting Rich & As A Man Thinketh.

The law of attraction is an application of the power of the subconscious mind and mind power phenomenons. The law of attraction has also been the basis for many spiritual practices, like magick spells, feng shui, neuro-linguistic programming & positive thinking.

On the downside, the law of attraction works even if your thoughts are negative & will not benefit you. For this reason, the law of attraction gave rise to the idea of deliberate creation or conscious creation. You own the power to control the situations in your life by changing the quality of your own thoughts through mind control.

For me, the first ingredient to successfully use the law of attraction is a good self-concept. Self-concept is your perception of yourself or your understanding or knowledge of yourself. Why? A poor self-concept can lead to low self-esteem. The law of attraction requires faith in the unknown and in your power to consciously change your life for the better. The law of attraction will not take the time to work for you (in a beneficial way) if you do not believe it could, and worst if you do not believe that you DESERVE what you trying to attract.

I first read this statement in the book, Pure Power by James Lee Valentine. I was hooked from then on. It has become my motto and I hope you will make it yours too.

These may just be 10 2-letter words, but as one, it stands as a claim to our power to create the life we are meant to live. Contain in this simple statement is the message that we have the ability to fulfill our dreams.

We have the habit of leaving the fulfillment of our dreams to chance. Maybe that is the reason why our lives are mediocre. We go by the rules of “que sera sera” (whatever will be, will be) rather than “if it is to be, it is up to me” We strip ourselves of the right to take part in building our ideal life.

I once participated in a community outreach program in a very depressed area. One of our agenda is to teach skills that the people can use to earn income. We went from house to house inviting each family to participate. At least one of the families I have been to, declined our invitation saying, “If we are meant to live in poverty, then we will always be poor no matter what” It is so sad to hear that there are people who will just accept that the lives they are meant to live is one of poverty, scarcity & oppression.

We have been endowed with great potentials and we have been equipped with the power to realize these potentials. That is why we have the ability to attract & choose the circumstances that will affect our lives. Sad to say, choosing is the power we often willingly give up.

Attracting

It has been called a lot of things – the law of attraction, manifesting, conscious creation. Much has been said about it – for & against it. One has just to examine one’s life to observe that it is inherent in our existence that whatever most occupies our minds & accepted as facts & truths will be reflected in our reality.

Choosing

By choosing, I do not mean that you can tell fate to just give you all good things. You will not grow that way. However, what you do with the lemon that fate throws at you is your decision.

By exercising your power to choose what you focus on, you can manipulate your ability to attract to your advantage. For the statement “if it is to be, it is up to me” can work both ways. If it is to be poverty for the rest of your life, it is up to you to focus & accept poverty. If it is to be abundance for the rest of your life, it is also up to you to focus & accept abundance.

Taking Charge

I grew up being compared to my older brother who is an achiever. I was unappreciated, made to feel worthless & was openly criticized by my mother almost all of my school age years. As an adult, I had low self-esteem and I easily lose my confidence when I am with achievers. As expected my mother & I didn’t grow very close. I kept blaming her for my lack of self confidence & poor self esteem.

I had a very painful experience some years ago and my mother was at the heart of the matter. I was at the lowest ebb, but I had the opportunity to reexamine my life and it was then that I realized that I am already in control of my life. I may be helpless as a child & just accepted whatever my mother said, but as an adult I already know that I am not as worthless as she said I am. I’ve also learned to forgive her for what she did, after all she was also just a product of her own growing up years which I think was far from ideal too. If I don’t let go of the past, I will just perpetuate the cycle and my own children will suffer like I did.

I know that there are many people out there who may have similar experiences. You can choose to take charge now or you can choose to continually live a miserable life. There are also people out there that have just lost hope of ever improving their lives, you can keep your sense of hopelessness or you can choose to be free of hopelessness. Just keep in mind, “if it is to be, it is up to me”

The universe returns what you have given freely a thousand times over. What you sow is what you reap. In order to receive you must give. If you wish someone to have more blessings and love, you will receive blessings and love a thousand times more. If you wish someone illness and misfortune, you will receive bad luck and misfortunes a thousand times more. I am sure you have noticed that when you are in a good mood, everything seems to fall into place. However, when you are angry or depressed a string of bad luck seems to follow you all the more.

Giving or outflowing doesn’t have to be as grand as donating $10 million to some charity, or donating an entire building. Every single minute is an opportunity to OUTFLOW blessings to your loved ones. An act as simple as giving a smile to a complete stranger is itself a mechanism to activate receiving. If you see someone who seems to be sad, you can give a hug to that someone even in your mind.

Outflow to your friends and love ones now through your thoughts or words. It costs you nothing except a few minutes. Tell your parents you love them, give thanks to the people who has been kind to you, ask forgiveness from those you have wronged and forgive those who have wronged you, tell your friends how much you appreciate them, tell the ones who are grieving that you sympathize with them, tell your spouse/lover how much you love him/her or inspire those who are about to take exams, give birth or going on a job interview. You may not be with them physically, but your thought vibration and emotions can bring you closer to your loved ones.

Here are some simple steps you can follow:

1. Write on a piece of paper the names of persons you

a. wish to forgive

b. ask forgiveness from

c. want to send love to
d. you have a special wish (celebrating his/her birthday, giving birth, taking an exam and the likes)

2. Relax, close your eyes & picture each person vividly in your mind or you may look at a photo.

3. Surround that person with a pink, soft light coming you.

4. Tell that person exactly what you wish to tell him/her.

5. You may hug, kiss, give a pat on the back or caress the face of that person before you let the image go.

6. I suggest you also send love and blessings to all people who may be brokenhearted, sick or victims of crimes or disasters.
