This probably isn’t the first time that you heard about the law of attraction, but how much do you actually know about what it is and how it works?

What Is the Law of Attraction?

The concept is pretty simple: your thoughts attract things and circumstances into your life.

That may sound a bit off, but here’s the deal: the law of attraction isn’t wishful thinking, and not every single thought you have is capable of manifesting in the real world (that’s why that pink elephant that you just thought of didn’t appear in front of you).

The basics of quantum physics state that everything around you, including the people and objects that surround you, your physical being, your thoughts and emotions, is made of pure energy. Your thoughts vibrate at a certain frequency; every object and every living thing vibrate at a certain frequency, because that’s what energy does: it vibrates.

While vibrating, the energy attracts other objects that vibrate at the matching frequency. And it’s all science – but you don’t really need to know that.

What you do need to know is that your thoughts, when they are focused and empowered by a strong emotion that matches them, are attracting things to you.

How It Works

Take a real life example: you’re thinking about attracting a new car, you know exactly what brand and type, even the color, you want to buy, your mind is focused on that idea – and all of a sudden you start seeing that particular car type everywhere.

Well, that was the Law of attraction in motion. It brought that car to your life – because the energy of your thoughts matched its frequency.

Now check this: you have done that without knowing about the law of attraction, without purposely using it. Imagine what you could do if you learned how to do that intentionally, and not only to see the car – or anything else – everywhere around you (that’s only the first step), but if you could really have it without much trouble, with just learning how to properly focus your thoughts and emotions?

The Catch with the Law of Attraction

The Law of attraction works whether you are aware of it or not, whether you want it or not.

It keeps manifesting more of what you’re focused on – it just does, it’s the energy at work. This then means that you can also manifest the negative things, if you’re focused on them: focusing on the lack of money for example attracts more lack of money; focusing on how desperate you are because you don’t have a romantic partner attracts – want to guess? Exactly – more things to be unhappy about related to your love life. And the list goes on.

With that in mind, you can understand that the title of this article isn’t quite accurate – because the Law of attraction is already changing your life. It’s now up to you to decide whether you want to influence the process and take the matter into your own hands, and to create the life you want – or to keep wondering why only the bad things happen to you, pretending that you have no influence over it.

Have you ever had a dream that you thought was beyond reach?

Did you decide not to go after it because you told yourself that it just wouldn’t be possible or you weren’t worth it?

So many of us can get bogged down by negative thoughts, which is what happened to Katherine Murray in my recently released book Never In Your Wildest Dreams. As the author, I wanted to take the reader on a journey that they could relate to by drawing on my own personal experiences while striving for success.

This is a transformational story that will help you tap into your hidden gifts and create a life of passion, purpose, and prosperity, just like I did. Follow Katherine as she learns life-altering secrets that turn her dreams into reality. One of the biggest lessons you’ll learn in the book is how to Eliminate Your Self-Limiting Beliefs.

Self-limiting beliefs are essentially negative thoughts that are rooted deep in your subconscious mind that can block you from reaching your goals and achieving success in life.

Many of us have been plagued by self-limiting beliefs for years, or even decades. You might not realize it’s happening because these beliefs are often developed by what you saw and heard during childhood. These thoughts can play in a continuous loop for such a long time that they become embedded in your brain and become very difficult to identify. But, understanding how negative thoughts can block your success is the first step towards a successful solution!

Start being aware to your thoughts and how you think about other people. What is your attitude towards specific things like money, relationships and self-worth? Pay attention to your thoughts about other people. The dialogue you have with yourself about others is typically a good indicator of what you are also telling yourself on a subconscious level.

Once you have identified recurring negative thoughts, it becomes easier to pinpoint the areas you need to shift your focus and retrain your brain. Begin to feed your mind with healthy, positive affirmations coupled with visualization.

You’ll notice that you will begin activating the Law of Attraction in your life. From there, you’ll experience a whole new level of life and what it means to live in a state of abundance, well beyond your Wildest Dreams!

Learn how to eliminate your self-limiting beliefs and other lessons along with Katherine as she embarks on her journey of self-discovery by getting a copy of the book TODAY!

If you are on this website, you already know the power of affirmations. Realizing what you need and taking the time to make changes is significant and has the potential of transforming your life. I would like to offer a complementary angle on affirmations – a broad picture of working with others to present a place to share meaningful reflections.

Giving ourselves affirmations is important work. But what about if you were able to hear about yourself from others? Your friends and family supporting you for being yourself and affirming your value and meaning in their lives……or you could do that for someone else?

You may not receive the specific affirmations you are personally working on, but you may receive a picture of who you are in the eye of others. Gratitude, love and encouragement are powerful medicine. We can add these ingredients into our lives easily if we just know how to incorporate them. These are free gifts for our soul. Here are some examples.

Examples of Cultivating Affirmations for Others

Your mother is having her 50th birthday. You want to do something special for her and she doesn’t need more stuff. You gather a group of friends asking each person to bring a single flower. When everyone has arrived, you meet in a circle. You explain what you are going to do – tell your mom what she has meant to them, tell a favorite story about her, why she is important. As you go around the circle, each guest says what they want to say and adds the flower to a vase that has been set up in the middle of the circle on a pretty little centering table. By the end of the time, the vase is filled and she can take it home as a reminder of the day. If someone is too shy to say something, they can simply add their flower to the vase and say Happy Birthday.

Our 6 year old granddaughter loves the birthday bowl. In this case we have a fairly large bowl with low sides filled with sand or rice. Each guest is given a candle (a bit larger than the usual cake candles and smaller than tapers). The birthday person puts her candle in the middle of the bowl and lights it. Each guest then says what they appreciate about her or tells a story, lights their candle from the middle and puts it around the edge of the bowl. By the end of the ceremony, the bowl is filled with love and light. Add the birthday bowl to your traditions for yourself as well as your loved ones.

Take the time to write a card to a friend for a birthday, for no reason except that you are thinking about them, or if they are in distress about something. Affirming them can be very meaningful. Take the time to write a card to yourself doing the same thing – reminding you of your own gifts and value.

I was recently written up in our local paper as a Hometown Hero. The author interviewed me, sent out questionnaires to my friends who then sent in letters telling about what I had meant to them in their lives. The author put together the article and it came out in the local paper. Not everything that everyone has said is in the paper, but the author sends me all the letters. Talk about being affirmed! It was so overwhelming to publicly be upheld that I am still awash in their kind words.

Do we have to wait for a big moment like this (or until a memorial service) to express our joy in having friends? This experience has reminded me to take the opportunity, whenever it arrives, in person or in writing, to share what I value in my friends and family – essentially giving affirmations to others. My guess is when we do that, our own self esteem grows as we see ourselves in others.

People learn to be receivers as well as givers with these small rituals. I cannot explain the power and value of taking the time and having a place to express appreciations for those special in your life.

The power of positive connection with others brings joy, aliveness and meaning to everyone involved. Learning how to make a place where that love can express itself is easy. It just takes a little courage to do something different, very little money and willing participants.
