Manifesting with the Law of Attraction

Did you know that every thought that we think creates a vibration? Negative thoughts create negative feelings that lead to low frequency vibrations, whereas positive thoughts create positive feelings that produce high frequency vibrations. According to the universal Law of Attraction, “vibes” attract like “vibes”. Have you ever noticed how, when you’re feeling down and depressed, you attract situations that are in line with your state of mind? So logically, the key to attracting only the things that you desire into your life, is to vibrate positive energy. Okay, that sounds simple enough…but how do you DO that?

“If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think.” – Oprah

We spend far too much time worrying — about the future, about paying the bills, about upcoming exams, about our health, about getting that promotion. What we’re actually doing when we worry about any situation, is concentrating all our energy on something that we don’t want. Hate, worry, fear, jealousy, anger, sadness are all emotions that make us vibrate negatively. By focusing on unwanted situations we are actually attracting the exact situations that we want to avoid! We would be doing ourselves a favor by focusing only what we DO want, instead of wasting time and energy on the things that we DON’T want.

Opposites Do Not Attract

Obviously, no one can feel good all day long, every day. The key is to do the things that make you feel good as often as you can. Play uplifting music while you drive to work, avoid the television programs that produce negative feelings, don’t read the newspaper if the content affects you negatively, interact only with positive-minded people… just let go and have fun! Learn to monitor your thoughts…if you notice yourself thinking a negative thought, immediately negate its effect by focusing on something that makes you feel good. Remember, there is nothing more important than feeling good! Keep a photo of your kids or pet or favorite actor nearby to help you make that switch. Be grateful for the things that are going well in your life. Do whatever it takes to generate that upbeat feeling, because opposites do not attract…but like certainly will attract like. The Law of Attraction is on the mark each time and it does not make mistakes!

“Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve.” – Napoleon Hill

In order to get what you desire in life, you have to give those desires regular attention. Fantasize, dream, imagine, focus… for what you create in your mind, you create in reality. If it’s a specific car that you want, order a brochure of it and look through it every day. Think about what color you want and which accessories and options your model has. If it’s a fantasy vacation in the Maldives or the Caribbean, compile your own colorful screensaver, fantasize about those white beaches and crystal clear waters abundant with tropical fish. Paste pictures of your dream home or that sleek yacht that you desire on a board and look at it often. Be excited about it! Focus wholeheartedly and with certainty on what you want, and do so in this moment. Believe that you have what you desire now, today, in this present moment. Focus on how good that makes you feel, and try to generate that feeling as often as you can.

Don’t confuse the Law of Attraction by being inconsistent in your desires. Don’t keep changing your mind, otherwise there’s no way for what you ask for to find its way to you. Be consistent, be determined…but leave the “how” out of it. If you decide the method and schedule by which your desires will come to you, you’re limiting your possibilities to only what you can think of. After all, what if there’s something better out there than what you can imagine? Just trust that it is happening now and allow it to come to you. Follow where your intuition leads you. Don’t worry about it, don’t look for proof, don’t start doubting.

Affirmations are a form of advertising

If you do find that doubts and negative self-talk are getting in your way, you can apply positive affirmations. When used consistently, affirmations will do away with your limiting beliefs and replace them with thoughts that will help you achieve what you desire. Does advertising work? Sure it does – there’s a multibillion dollar industry that proves it and affirmations are a form of advertising with only you as the target audience. Affirmations must be stated in the “I” form, in the present tense and always positively. They should also invoke a positive emotion. For instance: “I deserve large sums of money that allow me to have more fun with my family”, “I choose to effortlessly earn $100,000 per year”, “I enjoy working out regularly and maintaining a trim and slim body that turns heads”, “I choose to attract only healthy and positive people into my life who help me achieve my goals”; “I choose to create a positive, healthy and joyful lifestyle for myself”. You can write them down everyday, or use them as a screensaver, or buy special affirmation or goal setting software that you can use on your computer.

If you’re skeptical about how the Law of Attraction can affect you, just try being happy and positive for a month. It will amaze you how easy it is to get things going your way in that short period of time. A lot can be achieved in relatively little time — why waste any of it by being negative? Get out there and manifest what you want!

While it’s nice to freshen your living space, learning how to clean out limiting thought patterns and beliefs is even more important than washing the windows!

Ah, May! The days are getting longer and the buds on the trees are bursting. What a wonderful time of year to be awake and alive! Nourishing your body, mind and spirit has never been easier as more and more people find their way on the Law of Attraction path. So this year, with a little help from LOA, you can clean more than the cobwebs from the corners of your house.

First, let’s talk about the hottest buzzword of the decade, Law of Attraction. Simply stated, it means, “like attracts like.” There are many ways that’s expressed in our culture, such as ‘birds of a feather flock together’ or ‘misery loves company.’ What those expressions are communicating is that at the deepest level, we create our own reality based on our thoughts. It’s not just the thoughts that shape our lives; it’s how we feel about what we’re thinking about. Or, as Abraham-Hicks says it, “how you feel and what you get are always a match.”

At first, that may seem too daunting to even contemplate! But as you begin to work with this ancient universal spiritual principle, you come to appreciate its equanimity and even-handedness. That’s when the fun begins!

Does that mean you have to monitor every thought you think? Of course not! That would be impossible…and not a lot of fun. What is does mean is that the more you pay attention, the more you’ll notice what subjects trigger negative feelings and what subjects trigger positive ones. That’s where spring-cleaning comes in!

Let’s say you want a relationship in your life. How does that thought make you feel? Are you excited at the prospect? Or depressed that it hasn’t happened yet? Do you believe you’ll meet the mate of your dreams? Or do you believe “all the good ones are taken?”

What about money? Do you believe you can have as much as you want? Or do you think you’ll always need more? Are you someone who feels rich, no matter how much you have in the bank? Or do you feel poor, no matter how much you have in the bank? What other negative declarative statements are you harboring in your closet?

Spring-cleaning can bring you face to face with your long-held negative beliefs. A belief is only a thought we keep thinking. Sometimes, they are transparent beliefs – we don’t even realize we’re holding them until we look closely and see how they’re holding us back!

Here are some spring-cleaning tips to help you get on track for all of your greatest desires:

1. Make a list of the most important parts of your life. The list might include relationships, job, money, home, family, friends.
2. Write down whatever comes into your mind about those subjects.
3. Read what you’ve written with an awareness of how your beliefs shape your reality. Are there any thoughts or beliefs you might want to change? Great! You’ve found the hidden dust-bunnies!
4. Write affirmative statements in the present tense about the subjects you’ve chosen. For example, “I am living the life of my dreams with my soulmate.” Or, “I have a wonderful job that pays me more money than I need.”

In the same way you go through your closet at the start of the season, take some time to go through your beliefs and change the ones that don’t serve you. Not only will you start manifesting more quickly, you’ll find more room in your closet for a whole wardrobe of new thoughts!

Step 4. Take a breath and release. Take another breath. Drive your attention to one person who holds for you a thank you for participating in her or his life with support. But for some reason or another, you avoid, or have avoided, the receiving of that energy of gratitude from someone who appreciates you. Now, release your attention, notice the gravity of those Step 1 memories leaving you now.

Step 5. Then think of a second person. Then a family–or a broken family or a cluster of humans or animals that are of and like family. Or another person, or two others. It does not matter. If they are grateful to you, they are the space in your mind/body that holds the most grace for healing that is available to you. So think of this, and breathe, and connect to your unreceived energy of gratitude.

The gratitude belongs to you completely; those other negative feelings do not. And that gratitude is always open to you. So you can go back in time, be the witness, accept the gratitude, not the shame, and you will notice the flow of healing. This is not in the forgiving, but the place of being, one place where what has been given is gratitude did you did not accept.

Unforgiveness/forgiveness–move through both/either of them to receiving gratitude.
