How To Use The "Law of Attraction"

The law of attraction is the name given to the maxim "like attracts like" which in New Thought philosophy is used to sum up the idea that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts a person brings positive or negative experiences into their life.

The law of attraction states that every positive or negative event that happened with you was attracted by you. Say that a special friend loaned you money when you didn't have any. You attracted that, even without your awareness of using the law.

Say that teacher, classmate, client, or co-worker gave you a hard time during the day. You attracted that, too. Again, we are using the law every second of every day. You've even attracted reading this article!

There are really only three basic steps: ask, believe, and receive.

However, the point of this article is to break those three steps down into actions that you can do.

Steps

1. Relax your mind. Meditate for 5 to 10 minutes. Doing this will increase brain power and have your mind at that relaxed state. This step is optional but recommended.

2. Be sure about what you want and when you do decide don't doubt yourself. Remember that you're sending a request to the Universe which is created by thoughts and therefore responds to thoughts.

Know exactly what it is that you want. If you're not clear/sure, the Universe will get an unclear frequency and will send you unwanted results. So be sure it is something you have strong enthusiasm for.

3. Ask the Universe for it. Make your request. Send a picture of what you want to the Universe. The Universe will answer. See this thing as already yours. See How to Visualize. The more detailed your vision, the better.

If you're wanting that Nintendo Wii, see yourself sitting down playing a game on it. See yourself feeling the controller, playing your favorite game(s), touching the console.

If there's that person you have a crush on, see yourself walking with them, touching or caressing the person, or even kissing the person. You get the idea.

4. Write your wish down. Start with "I am so happy and grateful now that..." and finish the sentence (or paragraph) telling the Universe what it is that you want. Write it in the present tense as if you have it right now.

Avoid negation terms (see Warnings for more on this). Every day until your wish comes true, close your eyes and imagine your desire as if it's happening right now and see your imagination turning more clearer.

5. Feel it. Feel the way you will now after receiving your wish. You must act, speak, and think as if you are receiving it now.

This is actually the most important, powerful step in using the Law of Attraction because this is where it starts working, and sometimes if you do this you don't feel like you need it anymore because you feel like you already have it! Therefore, the universe will manifest this thought and feeling and you will receive it.

6. Show gratitude. Write down all the things the Universe has given you. Be thankful for what you already have and be thankful for all the things the Universe has given you. Writing in a journal everyday is an excellent way to express your gratitude. The Universe has done a lot of things for us. Paying the Universe back with some gratitude will motivate the Universe to do even more things and will draw more things into your life.

If you were once bullied and that person stopped, that's one thing to be thankful for. If the person you're crushing on likes you back, or doesn't but they didn't send their lover out to hurt you, that's another thing to thank the Universe for.

You should also thank the Universe for this process too. Showing gratitude will turbo boost the Universe to manifest your request faster.

7. Trust the Universe. Imagine an alternate dimension that is almost exactly like the real world but whatever you truly desire comes true in an instant.

See yourself in that dimension, where whatever you ask the Universe for comes to you in an instant. Don't look for what you asked for; this is where people tend to mess up.

If you have to keep an eye out for an event that manifests your wish, it's only telling the Universe you don't have it and you will attract...not having it.

Be patient. Don't get upset if these things don't happen immediately. Don't stress the "how" of things. Let the Universe do it for you.

When you take the Universe's job of worrying about the "how", this says you're lacking faith and that you're telling the Universe what to do when the Universe has far greater knowledge and power than human mankind.

Tips

If your current reality is bad, try not to think too much about it. Most of the people pay attention to their current reality and attract the same. Focus on what you wish to experience instead. It works.

Have a vision board or a picture from a magazine to help you see and feel what you want, look at that picture everyday (better to do this in the morning since this will help you to feel better throughout the day), and focus on emitting happy feelings to the Universe.

Focus as often as you can on what you DO want rather than on what you don't want. For example, if you are angry or upset about a war/conflict that has been going on, do your best to be 'pro-peace' rather than 'anti-war' - focus on the peace, and the kinds of solutions that you would like to see, instead of whatever it is that you do not like about the situation.

Good feelings = good reality. Feel GOOD. Put on your favorite song, paint a picture, have fun with your pet, or think of someone or something that you love, something that makes you happy, and just shut your eyes and dwell on this.

These can be called Frequency Shifters, so have a few up your sleeve. Different thoughts work for different situations, so think of a few now you can use later.

An interesting fact: Even celebrities like Lady Gaga use the law of attraction, and many have experienced its success.

Try this... if you experience an event that makes you so happy and overjoyed that you want to attract more into your life then try to remember your inner emotion you had (your heart beating faster/ stomach jumping).

Whatever it was try to replicate that by remembering the event and then if your vibrational energy is the same as you felt in that joyous moment then the it will manifest and you will attract it into your life.

It works best if you focus on only one wish at a time.

The first time you try this it may take a long time ( like 10 months) but you get better at it with practice.

Try at first wishing for things that are easy and measurable then when your wish comes true you will know for sure you got what you wished for. This will build faith.

Always keep a positive mindset and regardless of how long the manifestation process takes, always believe that whatever you are waiting on will come. Your dreams become reality!

The important step to include in the manifestation process is heart energy, which is feeling love and gratitude towards the Universe and opening your heart to goodness.

Warnings

Avoid using those negation terms. For example, if you want to get out of debt and you say "I want to get out of debt," the Universe only see the word 'debt' and will send more along your way.

It pays no attention to negation terms like, 'no', 'not', 'none', 'out' and so forth. Instead say "I am in rich/wealthy have lots of money."

If you want something to happen, such as you want a bike, don't just say I want that bike, believe you are going to get that bike. Instead of telling yourself you want the bike, envision yourself riding that bike.

It doesn't matter whether or not you know when your going to receive it, just believe you're going to get it and have no doubts about it. If you have any doubts, quickly change your thought pattern to the positive and focus on receiving or having what you want.

"Be careful what you wish for because you just may get it," is not a statement to joke around with. This law is so powerful your request could manifest instantly and powerfully without warning. Remember, this Law could be used to create or destroy.
Guess What She Wished For...(Be Very Specific!)
If you have a friend who you haven't seen in a long time and you want her to come to you. Instead of saying "I want my friend to show up at my door," just say, "I want to walk down the street and see her pass by," or something like that.

If you are constantly worried about bad things happening, or negative outcomes, then you are using the law of attraction AGAINST yourself. To worry is really to apply most of the above steps, towards a NEGATIVE outcome.

You are visualizing the negative outcome and asking the universe for it with pictures of the negative outcome, you are feeling the feelings of the negative outcome ...

Stop Worrying and follow step seven above.

You can't have any resistance in your mind for example: if you have just tried using the law of attraction and you say "this stuff isn't working" then the universe will give you more of 'this isn't working.'
