Law of Attraction: It's NOT Just a Good Idea - It's the Law!

By Stephanie Cirihal

This is one of those things that just is - and whether it works for you or against you is completely up to you. "It" is the Law of Attraction, and it can be a powerful business tool. Let me explainÉ

First, what is the law of attraction? Well, its basis is in metaphysics, which considers every thought and emotion we experience to have energy. Positive thoughts and feelings vibrate at a certain energy level, and negative thoughts and feelings at another. So, in simple terms, the law of attraction states that like attracts like . Whatever energy state we are in at any given time dictates what we attract to ourselves. Or, simply put, what we focus on is what we get. And like a magnet, whether or not we are trying to attract we do so all the time.

Does this law really work? Amazingly so! In fact, you have already been influenced by it and you may not know. Have you ever had a day when you woke up, and from the start it just didn't go right? You know, you overslept, the trash bag broke, your meeting did not go well - a succession of catastrophes occurred! The whole darn day was bad, bad, bad. What did you say to yourself after the first or second problem?

"Well, it's going to be one of those days É "

What energy do you think you were sending out with that message? What were you asking the Universe for? More of the same!

Now let's look at the opposite end of the energy spectrum. Remember when you were in love? Ah, love! You were so happy, so joyous, that if someone ran over your toe you would have thanked him or her! Nothing, absolutely nothing could affect your positive energy - and you probably spread it to others. What kind of message do you think you were sending to the Universe then?

In my own life I consciously put this law to work. I have attracted the perfect people and events to be able to create my own business and personal coaching practice, and have greatly affected the outcome of my business projects. For instance, only minutes before my team rolled out a project solution to the business management team in my last project, our team met to finalize our message. They were quite nervous and were convinced that the business team would "rip us apart". As they escalated this conversation, I could feel the energy changing as they spoke. I abruptly stopped them and stated my intentions - to have a positive, purely constructive meeting where we would achieve total buy in from the business management team. I assured them that this would be the outcome and asked that they participate in sending some positive energy towards this. Man, did they look at me strangely! But we did it, and guess what happened at the meeting? Total buy-in. Lots of praise. Only constructive feedback. My team was amazed! All because we were clear about our intentions and chose to focus on the positive outcome (and of course we had done a good job as well)!

So, I can see you sitting there, thinking how can I do this? Well, there are four simple steps to harnessing the law of attraction:

1. List what you Don't Want - in any situation, resolution, or endeavor.

You can skip this step if you are REAL clear about what it is that you want.

2. List what you DoWant - be sure to use powerful, positive language.

For instance instead of saying "I want to lose weight", try "I want to be happy with how I feel and look" or "I want to effortlessly be at my ideal weight". This is useful for step 3, which is

3. Create the good feeling of having that which you want .

This sends positive energy towards what you want. This is critical - you must be able to generate a good feeling in connection with your Do Want. Ask yourself "How would it feel to have this?" Focus on the great feeling associated with your Do Want and hold on to it as long as possible. Repeat as often as possible. I list and focus on mine daily.

4. Relax, and get out of the way of the Universe .

You must leave the where, when, and how to the Universe - do not try to "help" it along. Allow it to comeÉ and it will!

In conclusion, try to think of yourself as a satellite dish, tuned into different frequencies and picking up messages and events. If the Law of Attraction is that like attracts like , then what signals are you sending out about what you want in your career? In your life? In your next meeting? If we get what we focus on, where is your focus? And finally, if you can tweak your dish positioning to get the premium channels, what is stopping you?
