The Law of Attraction has grown in popularity over the past years as a result of “The Secret” movie (www.thesecret.tv). And it’s about time. People need to know that they have the power to create their lives and make it however they want.
The Law of Attraction says that we create our reality based on how we’re vibrating. Everything in our lives, including ourselves, is energy and vibrates at a certain frequency. Focusing on a thing or situation draws that thing or situation to us because we essentially become a vibrational match. It doesn’t matter whether we consider it good or bad, the Universe will still deliver.
We have to become more aware of how we’re vibrating in order to create what we want or… prevent ourselves from creating what we don’t want.
How in the heck do we know how we’re vibrating? Great question.
Our emotions let us know how we’re vibrating. If we’re feeling “good”, then we’re attracting more good. If we’re feeling not so good, like worried, fearful, anxious, sad, etc. we’re keeping the good away.
Here are 3 ways you can practice vibrating at a ‘good’ level and harness the power of the Law of Attraction to attract what you want.
1) State your intention. Your intention is a declaration of how you want to feel and what you’d like to experience. By putting your attention on what you want to feel, you’re making the energy work for you. The energy from your intention prepaves the way for you.
I like to state intentions on how I want my day to be and how I want to feel. For example, I may intend to feel joyful and in the flow. I may intend to complete my projects easily. You can use it before a job interview, before a important meeting, maybe before you drive somewhere and intend that you have a safe trip.
This exercise is simple but effective. I find that when I state a daily intention to be focused and to complete my tasks easily, I do. When I forget or think that I am too busy to do it, I regret it because my attention is more scattered and I waste lots of energy.
2) Focus on what’s working. The second way to attract what you want more easily is to focus on what’s working. Be grateful for the things you have and be grateful for the things you want.
Our habit is to focus on what we don’t like. For example, people who want more money are usually focused on how much debt they have, all the bills they have to pay, all the money they don’t have. And that is exactly what they get. That’s the level at which they’re vibrating. But in order to attract more wealth, they need to shift their energy to a higher level by first being grateful for what they do have.
What could you be more grateful for? Having a home? Having food to eat? Your health? Having friends? By continually being grateful, and really feel that in your heart, you raise your vibration and attract more of that of which you’re grateful.
3) Create a vision for yourself. The third way to harness the power of the Law of Attraction is to create a vision of how you’d like your life to be. And emphasize how you want to feel. You can break it down to areas of your life to make it easier.
For example, let’s say you want a new job. What does your ideal career/job look like? What kind of boss would you be working with? What would you be doing? Where would you be working? How much are you making?
Make your vision as clear and as detailed as you can. And remember to add the feelings. How will you feel when you have your ideal job? How will you feel while you’re doing the work. You get it, right?
How you’re feeling or how you think you are going to feel is most important. The feeling is what puts you in vibrational alignment with what you’re wanting. So after you create your vision and get in touch with your feelings, you’ll want to spend a couple of minutes each day imagining/visualizing your vision and feeling the emotions in your body.
By being consistent with these 3 exercises, you will develop powerful ‘manifesting muscles’. Your life will literally change before your eyes and you’ll feel good too.

I have seen how there is power in having a clear and detailed vision of what I wanted to see realised in my life. This has worked repeatedly in my life for manifesting my desires. It really does work! I detail this in my own book Ticket to Freedom.

Hi Nancy,
Thanks for your validating comment. And thank you for sharing your book with us. I checked out your site and resonate with your message, “Once you learn to attune to [your] inner power, you can draw on it to get what you really want out of life without a great deal of struggle.”
I hope you’re serving many people with this message.

You have some great info here on your site that is right up my alley! I heard a story from a business partner of the law of attraction in the works. She held a strong intention and everything seems to be falling right into place. The thing that made it happen was the fact that she expected it to happen, she put her intention out there on paper and to others, and it happened. I am a firm believer and am avidly involved in the Personal Development industry. Thanks for the post!
Love this article. I plan to put it into action and intend to welcome a more focused, happy, peaceful life. I have learned about intention statements before but failed to implement them into my daily life. Your article is a nice refresher I needed to get me back on track to what is really important in life.
Thanks so much,
Carol-Ann
