With all the publicity surrounding "The Secret", it's no wonder readers want to know more about the "Law of Attraction". According to Wikipedia. . .

"The 'Law of Attraction' is an idea that is widespread in New Age and New Thought philosophy. It posits to never dwell on the negative, as the metaphysical principle of life is embodied in a 'law of attraction': you get what you think about; your thoughts determine your destiny.

According to proponents, this law is always working whether you want it to, or indeed whether you believe in it or not. Feelings, emotions, and appropriate thoughts, they say, make the law work faster on your behalf. Thoughts penetrate time and space, acting as "personal magnets" with their own electrical vibration or frequency.

These thoughts reach out and grab other similarly charged thoughts, attracting physical reality, which is actually just a more slower vibrating energy frequency; one's thoughts are faster more subtle vibrations of the same energy frequency. Advocates of the law claim that quantum physics confirms the existence of this law."

Many people find the above hard to grasp. The easiest way I've found to describe this phenomenon is that "like attracts like".

If you are happy and positive, you will attract happy and positive things.

If you are always finding the negative in things or if your glass if always half empty, you will attract the negative.

An important thing to note is that the Law of Attraction does not differentiate between "want" and "don't want". Take the following two statements as an example:

~ "I want to be free from debt."

~ "I don't want to get sick."

The Universe hears two things "debt" and "sick" and, if you focus on the above statements, you are essentially asking for MORE debt and MORE sickness. The very things you don't want!

It's all in the wording. Staying with the same examples, the following statements will draw more positive energy to you:

~ "I am financially free and able to take vacations and travel as I wish."

~ "I am a healthy and active woman who loves life."

Do you see the difference between the first and second set of statements? It's all about using positive language in your thoughts and speech. Once you have the language down, write out an affirmation statement and read it each morning and evening just before bed. Let your last thoughts before falling asleep be positive, happy and forward looking.

I've mentioned using a "dream board" or a "vision board" before. I highly recommend having at least one board -- these images of the life you want will imprint themselves on your subconscious and with a little thought, you can manifest the future you desire.
