How To Use The Law of Attraction

Esther Hicks, the author of The Law of Attraction, is a channeler who channels the collective consciousness called Abraham. Abraham has been speaking through her for decades with extremely powerful teachings. These laws apply to everything in the universe, everything in existence, and are even stronger than the law of gravity, so it's really important that you know and understand what the law of attraction is, and we're going to go over all the basics today.

You will learn:

• What the law of attraction is
• How you can use the law of attraction to draw anything you desire in your life.
• Why you might be attracting things in your life that you don't actually want to have in your life and how you can troubleshoot that
• How to be a bigger magnet

What is the Law of Attraction?

"That which is like unto itself is drawn." — Abraham Hicks

Everything in existence is made of energy. Even things that you don't see are actually all vibration. When you match a frequency match to what you want to attract into your life, that is when it will come into your existence.

Simply wanting something in your life does not mean it is going to automatically show up for you—I’m sure you already realized that part. In order to draw in, you must be an energetic match.

Like attracts like

How do we actually get into the same vibration and frequency of something that we desire?

Here’s the thing: everything that you focus your attention on is what you get more of in your life. You draw things into your life, based on what you choose to focus your mind on. When you focus your thoughts on being joyful and happy, you create more joy in your life. When you're focusing on all the things that you don't want to have in your life and you're complaining a lot, you’re drawing more of that into your life as well.

How to focus on the good

How do we know what we're focusing on all the time? Well, being conscious and aware of your own thoughts is the first step—just noticing your own thoughts. But that's a really big thing to focus on, because we actually have anywhere between 50 to 70,000 thoughts a day, which means you're thinking more than one thought a second, on average, if you're awake 16 hours a day, and that can be very overwhelming. We can't monitor every single thought that we have. But what Abraham says we can do is focus on our emotional guidance system.

Your emotions are the physical indication of your relationship with your inner being. Rather than trying to monitor your thoughts, simply pay attention to how you're feeling. The way this emotional guidance system works is that our physical body is just one very small part of who we are. The larger part of you, your soul, the essence of your being, is so much grander than just your physical body, and your larger soul has had many lifetimes. It is connected energetically to everything in the universe. A lot of people love using the term higher self, that's one of my favorites.

In the teachings of Abraham Hicks, they talk about the inner self. The moment you decide that you want to manifest something, your inner self, your higher self, your soul already becomes a vibrational match to it. Your soul knows the exact vibration to create in order for you to draw that in.

This basically means that on an energetic level, you've already manifested everything that you desire. Your soul is already there. And what your emotional guidance system is letting you know is that your inner self, your higher self, your soul is already a vibrational match to what you want to manifest in your life.

What’s holding you back from attracting?

You may have noticed that your human self—your mindset, your thoughts, your current vibration, and your way of being isn’t likely a match to the things you want. If you have negative thoughts, negative emotions, it's because the thoughts that you were thinking as a human do not match up with them.

In order for things to change, you have to see them as you want them to be rather than continuing to observe them as they are. By deliberately directing your thoughts rather than merely observing, you will begin to change the vibrational pattern to which the law of attraction is responding.

It's so easy to focus on what's going on in your current life that we end up creating an attraction of similar things. That's why we feel like things don't change very fast.

Change your vibrations one step at a time

The shift happens when you start to focus on what you want to create. You choose to feel joy every day, you choose to experience more happiness, you choose to take better care of yourself, which therefore means you're going to attract people that take better care of you and treat you better.

Keep in mind that there is a scale of emotions. If you are in a space where you've been feeling focusing so much on the things that you do not want—that’s okay. Wherever you are, it's totally fine. Remember that it's really difficult to go from lows to highs so suddenly.
