I have read alot of books on the subject of the Law of Attraction and the heart of this practice to enable the Law to work in your favor is to find ways to feel good.

Now this is not an easy step if you have spent weeks or months feeling down, flat or somewhere in the middle of feeling like a victim for feeling good. The habitual mind will resist the move to feel good. However, there is one common aspect with the Law of Attraction and it is the moment you begin to switch to feeling good and keep persisting with the habit your life will take on a new meaning.

What I suggest to my clients and student is to start to feel better first. Take small steps to edge into feeling good. Feeling better may involved just stopping to smell a rose, play with the cat, smile for 15 seconds every few hours, help an old lady across the road and so on.

By making the decision just to feel better and keep up this thought habit you will then start moving into a feel good zone and so your vibration will switch on to affecting you and the world you see around you in a positive way.

Also if you are starting off with this and you are feeling flat – first accept it, embrace it, rather than pushing it away. From this stance begin to swith into feeling better mode.

The feel good factor and the Law of Attraction go hand in hand to help you attract a more inspiring life.

Most people believe that if you have a high IQ or are very intelligent then you will stand a much better chance of creating more success in your life.

Although some people do have a head start in brain power I am convinced that attitude power and the way you use your mind is far more important and effective.

I know of university professors who know a ton of stuff and could, if they applied themselves in the market place, create alot of wealth and happniess for themselves. However, for many reasons many intelligent types live a mediocre life and many struggle even with all the brain power at their disposal.

I read a quote from a classic success book written 50 years ago The Magic of Thinking Big:

“The Thinking that guides your intelligence is much more important than how much intelligence you have”

When I read that I felt a real resonance with that line. In other words the choice of our thoughts and how we focus our thinking is far more important than having a great brain.

This is where the Law of Attraction comes in.. it is about consciously selecting thoughts and feelings that support you and move you forward even though you may have an issue thinking you are less than intelligent. In fact the more intelligence you have the bigger the problem in creating what you desire as alot of thinking goes into the process and this can hold you back.

Also If you think you are less than intelligent it could well be a limited belief and thought pattern you bought into many years ago.

The Law of Attraction model takes alot of the “how” thinking off your shoulders and your job is to stay clear on what you want, develop the right kind of attitudes and habits and life starts moving in your favor.

Many people who have discovered the Law of Attraction sometimes expect results at high speed. This can happen, however, so much depends on how you are feeling about what you are desiring.

The Law works on a feelings level or in other words, vibration. If you set out to make a goal happen and you feel alot of doubt and fear then the vibration around that desire to deliver your goal is slower.

Slow or heavy vibration or feelings equals slower manifestation. Higher vibration equals faster results. It is that simple.

If you have a clear desire, you feel excited about it, you are taking focused actions, you know in your heart it is being delivered and fear and doubt are nowhere to be seen then that signals a faster turnaround of your desire.

For the majority of people there is a struggle in getting clear on what the desire really is. I coach clients and usually we set out with a desire and over a period of weeks the desire is actually pointing to a deeper desire that was not so clear at the start.

Also most people can wrestle with doubts, limited beliefs and self esteem issues and all these contribute to a slower turnaround because from a vibrational level we are consciously wanting one thing and unconsciously sabotaging that which we want.

Cleaning out the limited stories we tell ourselves and stepping into our power and feeling clear and confident about what it is we are going for contributes towards a faster delivery of our goals and desires.

So the Law of Attraction can work fast or slow depending on how you have lined up your thoughts, higher vibrational feelings and the actions you are taking to make the desire a physical reality.

Although the Law of Attraction is a natural law, in order for it to begin to work in our lives we do have to work with an attitude of an open mind as well as the belief that this process of thinking will support us to manifest our dreams and desires.

If we have the thought “this Law of Attraction stuff just does not work” then that is a belief and that belief has a feeling which tends to be a closed feeling and so the Law will respond accordingly and will not be part of your life.

The Law is a natural law. Why? because energy follows thought in the form of either positive vibrations or negative vibrations. Think about the Chinese symbol for Yin and Yang. This is one of the oldest explanations of positive and negative energies which has existed since time began or when the universe came into existence. The Law of Attraction follows these basic principles of positive and negative.

When we begin to understand these basic principles of energy flow then our minds open to this way of thinking. The Law of Attraction does not care whether you believe in it or not because it is always operating in your life whether you like it or not. Right now you are giving out a vibration and right now that vibration is either of a negative nature or it is positive.

The Law of Attraction and belief is about first understanding the basic aspects of how energy flows and from there we can consciously work with this energy to bring into our lives the things we desire.
