What is the Law of Attraction, Exactly?

Posted on April 24, 2012 by Victoria Coronado, One of Thousands of Business Coaches on Noomii.

The simplest way I can describe the Law of Attraction is what we think about, we create. In fact, everything you currently have in your life is a direct result of your incredible power to manifest your thoughts into reality. Every good and wonderful thing, as well as every difficult or painful situation is directly connected to the vibrational energy generated by your thoughts.

Perhaps you have heard the term “self-fulfilling prophecy”? This is generally used to describe someone who who imagined a certain outcome, and then got exactly the outcome they imagined. For example, perhaps you know someone who always worries they will get the flu. They worry so much that they take many precautions against it. They make statements about how they get the flu every year, so they are extra careful to avoid people during flu season, get a flu shot, take vitamins, etc. And, you have seen that they are right. They get the flu every year, regardless of their efforts to avoid it. Your friend says “See, I told you so”. She has created a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But just how did she create the flu? Why did she get it and you didn’t? The explanation is quite simple. Her vibrational energy attracted a vibrational match. Her strongest thought was one of sickness, not of health. The thought of “I get the flu every year” was the intention that she empowered. Although her energy was spent trying to prevent the flu, it was her belief in her ability to get sick that actually manifested her illness.

Now, if we can attract negative situations into our lives, how much more easily can we manifest happiness, health, joy, and prosperity? By being consciously aware of our beliefs, and working to change any self-defeating or negative ones into positive ones, we can create the life we have always dreamed of. In fact, we can create a life that is above and beyond our wildest dreams!

I have an intention that I focus on for a few moments each day. It is “I am fully supported by the Universe in every possible way.” I have found that this one statement raises my vibrational energy in a way that attracts a continuous stream of support in the form of finances, relationships, and help. As a single mother with three children, this support from the Universe feels like having a partner by my side. For example, this past weekend I had manifested a free vacation. That was an awesome gift, but what really touched my heart was that my next door neighbor had mowed my yard while I was away! As I do not have a “man around the house” to help with yard work and home repairs it was deeply appreciated. Support in that form was so unexpected and yet was a direct manifestation of my intention.

I have found the key to having my desires manifest every single time is to zero in on my most authentic longings. For example, I wanted to buy a home but had no savings. I looked at many homes and felt an intense longing, followed quickly by a feeling of despair. I felt I could never have the type of home that I wanted. But, I caught myself in the act of creating lack, and changed my core belief. I made a conscious intention that I would buy a home, regardless of my financial situation.

Instead of looking at homes I believed I could not afford, I sat in a meditative state and imagined my perfect home. My authentic longing was “to live in a home with lots of natural light, big windows, two stories with three bedrooms up and the master down, a game room, a beautiful kitchen, and a gorgeous master bath. The home will feel welcoming and instantly comfortable to all who enter. I want my children to go to good schools, and be safe. And I want it to be painted green.” Almost exactly one year after I put that intention into the Universe I received a home that matched that EXACT description (it was even painted green).

Within 45 days of seeing a home that matched my intention, I manifested an $11,000 down payment. Up until that point I had only a few hundred dollars in my bank account. Yet, I believed I could have the house of my dreams, and that belief was powerful enough to attract my dream home, and the ability to buy it. This is the power of creating from an authentic desire.

When working with clients as a Life Coach, we discuss what type of life he or she envisions. We discuss where they currently feel lack, and work on changing that perception to one of abundance and prosperity. I help them to identify their core beliefs and how those are creating their current circumstances. In addition, we work on holding positive intentions, letting go of the outcome, and recognizing how the Universe responds to their authentic desires. It is deeply fulfilling to me to see how my clients manifest the desires of their heart through synchronicity and the generosity of others. Together, we co-create their dreams as I hold their desires as my own. It is my intention that the Universe give my clients the desires of their heart. And it is with that intention that I help manifest a reality where the Law of Attraction works for everybody, all the time.
