What is Law of Attraction?

When we think of the word law we may think of a rule that shouldn't be broken as there could be consequences. For me the Law of Attraction (LOA) is just like the law of gravity, what goes up must come down. When a thought is sent up or out and believed, it must appear in your life, whether it is good for you or not.

According to many, positive thoughts lead to positive outcomes and negative thoughts lead to negative outcomes, others believe that these thoughts are energy and like attracts like, so what you focus on will determine what appears in your life.

I believe the LOA is energy that is always always working, as it is listening and watching. Listening for a wish to be sent out or up and watching for you to act on what you believe regarding that wish.

Before we begin I would like to dispel a few misconceptions, you will notice that some of the questions state that they have been manifesting something, someone or a situation, when in fact they have been attempting to use LOA to manifest that someone, something or situation. Many confuse the tool (LOA) with the result the manifestation. The word manifest means 'clear or obvious to the eye or mind' according to the Oxford language, i.e a manifestation is something that appears.

The other misconception is that LOA is only working when attempting to manifest something, someone or a particular situation. As mentioned above LOA is always working as the thoughts that were believed and acted upon, brought that thing, person or situation into your life. More on that later.

So how does this energy work?

You deliberately/consciously or unconsciously Ask, Believe and Act upon your belief, then you must Receive. That's it.

Ask - One has to ask for what they want, but ask aright. Asking for something that you do not believe you will receive, will not bring about your wish. Asking for something you do not believe you deserve will not bring it into your life.

Believe - One has to believe that their wish will be granted. As you read the questions, you will notice some mention that their wish was not granted, and go on to tell of their process in using LOA and state or proclaim that their wish was granted to a neighbour, friend, relative or work colleague, as they got the exact amount, make of car, promotion or situation that was wished for. The appearance of their wish in some-ones' garage, a friends' financial wind fall and or change in circumstances meant the 'end' of their manifesting process. If only they continued to believe that their wish was still on its way and took the appearance of their wish albeit with someone else, as a sign of things to come. In fact, what they did is halt the manifesting process by stating (remember what you say about your wish is important)

• “My manifestation turned up next door.”

• “My friend or relative got my manifestation.”

• “I will never get what I want.”

• “Other people always get what I want.”

ACTION or Act as if

Here you are asked to take action or and 'act as if'. Action is needed as although it is possible, your wish may not just drop into your lap.

It is at this stage or process that you do all you can to bring your wished for item into your life, you must be asking, “Why have I got to do anything; this is the Law of Attraction after all, shouldn't it just appear?” Sure, but most of us, do not believe that strongly! By acting, you stay on task, or in the vibration of the wanted item, person or situation. By taking action you are doing something (positive) towards getting what you want, whether that is thinking (visualising) about your want or, in the case of wanting a new car, going out and test driving the car you want. Action is always needed.

Receive - The final process to using LOA is to receive. What do we do just before we receive something? We wait! I have mentioned above why we wait and what to do while waiting for your wish to be granted. Here's a reminder, it keeps you believing and encourage your want into your life by becoming aligned with you. However, one has to be mindful that we are manifesting ALL the time, and it is at this stage that some people become impatient and start the manifesting process all over again by making a new wish, often one cancelling out the previous wish.

Its as easy as saying:

“I never get what I want”

“This LOA stuff doesn't work”

They then act as if, and or believe what they have said is truth and POW one wish cancelled and another is on its way!
