Unless you've been living under a rock then there's a good chance that you've heard about how the law of attraction can help you to manifest good things into your life. You've maybe watched someone talk about it on Oprah or come across some writings on the internet. You've maybe even tried to put the law of attraction into practice and that's where you've hit a brick wall. All the "this is easy" stuff appears to be a thinly disguised "buy my product" sales pitch. So what can you do to start proving to yourself that the law of attraction really helps with manifestation?
Start by manifesting small stuff
The way the universe works is the same whether you're trying to manifest small stuff or bigger items. But because the universe is big and sometimes a lot needs to happen to make big stuff manifest itself, it's usually best to start small.
So pick on something slightly unusual - maybe a particular number of magpies, maybe an unusual color scarf - and set your mind to manifest that into your life.
What happens next is usually nothing short of a miracle. Instead of that group of 6 magpies being totally elusive, it seems that they're gathering almost everywhere you look. Of course, whether that helps turn something into gold is another matter. But you've proved to yourself that you really can manifest things into your life and you're ready to move onto bigger things.
Practice indifference
This sounds a bit odd at first. But think about it: it almost always seems that the thing you want most is actually keeping itself tantalisingly just out of reach.
Sometimes we push too hard for something and it actually senses that and avoids us.
So practice being indifferent as to whether something happens or doesn't happen.
That doesn't mean not caring at all. It actually means that you're equally happy whether or not whatever it is you're attempting to manifest ever appears or not. You're content in the here and now. The manifested item won't appear until the future, if it does at all. And if it does, you're ecstatic. And if it doesn't, you're still overjoyed with your position in life.
It's a fine art and not one that you'll likely get the hang of overnight but when you do, miracles will happen a lot more often in your life.
Act on your dream
This is the bit that often gets missed from those "you can do this in your sleep" promises.
To truly manifest something into your life using the law of attraction, you actually have to do stuff.
Maybe not much. Going back to our magpies it's just a case of actually paying attention to these black and white birds and hoping they'll stay still long enough for you to count to 6.
Maybe more. If you're going after your dream home then you first need to define what that is. For some people it's an apartment overlooking the whole city. For others, it's a plot of land with picket fence around it and lots of friendly neighbours. And for others it's a ranch with thousands of acres and wildlife roaming free.
If you don't take the time out to define what your dream is, you won't ever reach it because you won't know what it is and you won't be taking steps - however small - to achieve it.
