Manifesting with the Law of Attraction

Are you longing for relationships that do your heart good and generate stronger connections? Knowing about energy can transform your ability to build positive relationships, prevent loneliness and ward off fatigue. By making the energetic shifts described here, you can draw good things to you.

LAW NO. 1: We attract who we are.

THE MORE POSITIVE ENERGY WE GIVE OFF, THE MORE WE’LL RECEIVE. Ditto for negativity. It works like this: Love attracts love. Grumpiness attracts grumpiness. Passion attracts passion. Rage attracts rage.

First, define what being positive does and doesn’t mean for you in terms of attitude and behavior. Don’t worry if you’re far from a positive place. It’s an evolution. Give thought to what you value most in yourself or others. You can then strengthen these traits in yourself, and attract the same.

The idea is to find reciprocally nourishing interactions, not to win a popularity contest. (Of course, it feels good to be liked. But I’ve seen this need turn into addiction.) The following exercises will help you boost your positive signals.

Identify your best qualities and project them to the world.

Before meeting new people or going to important events, prime yourself. Think, “I’m not going to focus on my insecurity but on a strength like my sensitivity, compassion or humor; I’m going to feel and trust the positive energy inside me. I’m going to claim my full power.” Such selective attention puts your best parts front and center.Meditate regularly.With regular meditation, you can alter your habitual moods toward the positive. When feelings surface during meditation, monitor them. Focus on what’s uplifting, not the swirl of negative emotions. Your vibes will change; others will respond.Commit to emotional housecleaning.Healing negativity prevents toxic buildup in your energy field. Psychotherapy, introspection, meditation, journaling and talking with friends further self-awareness and healing.Extend heart energy outward.

Envision something you love: your son’s smile or a blooming rose. Inwardly ask, “Let love flow through me.” Feel it rise from your chest; notice a sense of heat, serenity, radiance. Beckon these vibes outward. People soften around them, feel safe, want more. It conveys the sense of what Buddhists call the “groundless ground,” an ultimate secure place that stabilizes us from the inside out.
