10 Tips to Master the Law of Attraction

I’ve talked to many people who have heard of the Law of Attraction and have learned the principles, but still struggle with putting them into practice. My passion is helping others to create a better life by sharing what has worked for me in my own spiritual journey. To that end, I’ve decided to create a list of tips that you can put into action today and start seeing positive results immediately. This list is not all encompassing and you do not have to do everything at once. Just pick one that resonates with you the most and start there. Once you are comfortable, you can return to this list and pick another area to work on. I hope you enjoy.

1. Watch “The Secret” DVD

I would recommend that everyone see this movie. It is a great introduction and overview into the principles of the Law of Attraction. This movie was the catalyst that catapulted me on my spiritual journey. It is jam packed with spiritual teachers and practical examples of how to put the Law of Attraction into action and improve your life.

2. Read a Few Books

After I watched The Secret I realized that I would need to commit myself to studying this information further so that these new ideas could really sink in and start to become second nature to me. Most of us in today’s culture are programmed to believe that life just happens and we are not in control of our circumstances. If the principles of the Law of Attraction are new to you, then there is going to be some re-programming of our belief systems that need to take place. The very first two books that I read after watching The Secret were “Ask and it is Given”, by Esther and Jerry Hicks and “The Law of Attraction”, by Michael Losier. I found the teachings in these texts very simple, straight-forward and practical. These books are perfect for beginners as well as well-seasoned LOAers.

3. Create a Vision Board

I’m a huge proponent of Vision boards because they are fun. It is very powerful when we have visual reminders of our goals and dreams to look at each day. It serves as a constant reminder to stay the course and it evokes positive emotions that makes us a vibrational match for what we are trying to attract into our lives. Take a look at my Vision Board Tutorial Video to learn how to create one.

4. Meditation

Meditation is a great way to connect with your inner spirit. Through meditation you find balance, harmony and inner peace. This creates a perfect state of mind to harness the power inside of you. At the core of the Law of Attraction principles is using the power of the mind to affect your life’s circumstances. If you are stressed out and your thinking is out of focus then you will miss the mark each time. Our natural state of being is harmony and meditating helps us to achieve this harmonious state more often and creates the ideal mental state for manifesting our desires. I do traditional meditations as well as Brainsync and Holosync Meditations and find all of them to be extremely beneficial to me.

5. Journal

I love journaling and have incorporated it into my daily routine for over a year now. Journaling is a powerful way of sending our desires out into the Universe. When we make an intention, we focus on our desires for a short period and then we release it and allow, not worrying abut the outcome. When you write down your goals and desires, the very act of doing so energizes that goal or desire and gives it more power. You feel great (which is the key) and you can always go back to what you have written to re-read and reinforce your intentions. I’ve written a more in-depth post on Journaling here.

6. Visualization Exercises

Visualization is a very simple but powerful process which is one of the key cornerstones in being a deliberate creator. Have you ever been anticipating an exciting upcoming event in your life such as a wedding or a vacation? You may find yourself sitting at your desk at work and suddenly your mind starts to wander. You are no longer at that desk, but you are actually playing out in your mind the much anticipated event. Most people call this day dreaming. You literally transform yourself from that moment in time and all of your senses are engaged. You can smell the ocean breeze, you can feel the sand beneath your feet and the sun beam down on your face. When we do this type of creative visualization, we are emitting positive signals to the Universe and saying YES to whatever it is we are thinking about. Through the power of what we are feeling, we begin to align ourselves with the vibrational Universe, and we attract what it is that we are thinking about. I bet you never thought daydreaming could be so powerful!! J

7. Shifting your Vibrational Energy

This is a very simple process. It entails always being aware of what you are feeling. Whatever you are feeling is what you are attracting. When you are feeling bad, then you are not in alignment and you cannot bring about positive changes. I know it is not always possible to be in a great mood, but it’s a good goal to aim for most of the time. Even when you are feeling crappy, make it your goal to simply reach for a better feeling thought. A neutral feeling is much better than a feeling of depression and despair. The key thing to remember as we try to live as more aware beings is we are vibrational beings living in a vibrational Universe made up of energy fields. This is the basis of like attracts like. You can try raising your vibrational frequency by doing something that you enjoy. For example, a stroll in the park, a favorite movie or popping in a favorite tune on your IPOD.

8. Affirmations

I like to think of affirmations as little seeds that we plant in our conscious and subconscious minds. Affirmations are our thoughts and that little voice inside of our heads. When you say something like, “I’m not going to pass this test”, that is an affirmation. Negative self talk can be one of the biggest stumbling blocks to creating a better life. It is best to stay aware of the chatter going on in your mind. I like to write my affirmations down each day. By writing down my affirmations each day, I am reinforcing new positive ideas in my mind and I’m doing it deliberately instead of letting my mind be on auto-pilot. Affirmations are very powerful and can change your life. If you do nothing else on this list, learn more about affirmations and start as soon as you finish reading this. You can read more about Affirmations in this post.

9. Spiritual Agenda

Make a road map for taking care of the mind, body and soul. This does not have to be set in stone and can be a very easy process. It is imperative to help you stay focused on your spiritual journey. Having a spiritual agenda is basically outlining what you will do each day to contribute to your spiritual growth. It’s a part of your daily routine. I didn’t actually sit down and create one, mine actually evolved on it’s own over time. But certain things have become a ritual for me and If I miss doing them, I can definitely tell. I start each day out with journaling and affirmations and I end each day with a reading something uplifting and doing a meditation. There are other things that I do each day, but these are my anchors that keep me grounded from day to day. Yours can be whatever you like. Just ensure that it makes you feel good and each day you are doing something.

10. The Art of Allowing

The art of allowing is letting go and trusting the process of life. After you have done the work (which shouldn’t feel like work), then simply release your intentions to the Universe and trust, know, and believe that it will happen. It is not our jobs to figure out the how. If you believe it, you will see it. Based on feedback I’ve gotten from others and my own experiences, this is one of the most difficult aspects of the Law of Attraction to grasp. Again, due to our programming we believe we must “make” things happen. In fact, the exact opposite is true. The more we try to control the “how” or the outcome, the harder it will be to make it happen. If we simply allow “what is” and be okay with it, we will attract and create with effortless ease.

I hope that you find that these tips of value and you are able to put them into practical application.  My goal is that this list will provide anyone seeking further knowledge about the Law of Attraction a definitive “to-do” list that they can refer back to time and time again.  Good luck on your spiritual journey.

In Light and Love
