Law of Attraction
Module 3: The spirit of attraction

As you begin to acknowledge and accept the ‘inner you’, through the processes of meditation and Chakra alignment, you should also take some time to explore how the ‘outer you’ lines up with your ‘inner’ essence.
Does your outer self, who may still be influenced by outside thoughts and opinions, reflect your new inner feelings of happiness, peace, contentment and well being?  How does your outer self view your abilities, strengths or dreams?  Look back over your life – who do you feel has been dictating events up until now…the inner or outer you?
Once you have recognised who you really are, i.e. an energy being that constantly vibrates with radiance, then you will begin to understand your ability to physically create from the inside by everything you think, do or say.  This knowledge will give you the strength and confidence to stop living by other people’s standards and expectations and you will realise that, as the creator of your own reality, it is only your preferences, standards and expectations that matter.

Attracting the right people into your life

What do you want from the people in your life?
• Loyalty?
• Respect?
• Reliability?
• Fun?
Have you found that you always end up attracting the same type of person into your life, even if you didn’t think so at first?  Are you tired of being disappointed by people you thought were trustworthy?
Take some time to use the Contrast to Clarity table from Module 1 to identify all the elements of your past friendships / partnerships you ‘do NOT want’ to repeat and then transform these into elements that you ‘DO want’ going forward.  Studying your past experiences in this way is only helpful in as much as it provides you with a measure of contrast for deciding what you want now.
Well done!  You have identified the thoughts and feelings you need to attract the right people into your life.  Now all you have to do is…ALLOW.
 Write a statement describing your perfect friendship, based on your ‘DO want’ list, as if it is ALREADY happening.  Repeat this statement to yourself daily, first thing in the morning, and then release it and go about your day while making a point of holding on to your best thoughts and feelings.

Attracting love into your life

“Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.”Kahlil Gibran

Aha, so now we get to an interesting part.  What is it that you want from a love relationship? 
• Companionship?
• Affection?
• Communication?
• Passion?
• Faithfulness?
Using the same process that we have just used to attract the perfect friendship, take some time to study your past love relationships.  Once again, use the Contrast to Clarity table to make a list of all the elements within those past relationships, e.g. the situations, the feelings, the tensions, that you ‘do NOT want’ to experience again.  Then, using contrast, identify ALL the elements you ‘DO want’ – really go to town! 
Now create your statement embodying all the qualities, feelings and values that you want in your ideal love relationship.  Write the statement as if this relationship is ALREADY with you and that you are living and loving it.  Read your statement on a daily basis and FEEL the love and joy it creates in you.  Then let it go and hold onto your best thoughts and feelings as you go about your day.

Nature’s involvement

In our quest to fully understand and see the power of the Law of Attraction working in our lives, it would be remiss of us not to consider the most powerful evidence of all…Nature.  We already know the Law states that the essence of that which is like unto itself is drawn.  This is never more apparent than when we walk outside and observe Nature in action.
A perfect example of the synchronicity between the Universal Source of Energy and the natural world is the intricate balance between flowering plants and insects.  This relationship benefits both parties and is based on the natural law of giving and receiving. 
Look at the seasons!  It is truly amazing to witness the natural and effortless energy transitions that occur from Winter to Spring, to Summer and then to Autumn, before beginning again.  These changes show us how the Law of Attraction really works, when nature is simply in the NOW, ever accepting and allowing.
Love and the Spirit of Attraction
So, what is the true spirit of attraction?  Every known religion or spiritual concept in our world today can be tied in some way to the Law of Attraction, and in each written scripture or passed-down doctrine, the references to aspects of this law are undeniable.  On delving deeper into the philosophies of our sacred traditions, it becomes abundantly clear that a common thread binds them all together – each one regards LOVE as the basis for our actions, words and thoughts.
When you can awaken your spiritual side, e.g. through meditation and Chakra alignment, you activate a pure channel to absolute LOVE and, in doing so, you will find it easier to align with the Universal Source of Energy.
All energy is based on unconditional LOVE.  The more LOVE we express and experience in our human forms, the greater the expansion of energy in the Universe.
Make a commitment to act with kindness and LOVE to yourself and others.  Be of service to those around you, and, by the Law of Attraction, you too will experience this behaviour in your own life.  Smile wherever you go and notice how people respond with a smile in return.
It is an amazing feeling to have brightened someone’s day.

Joy and the Spirit of Attraction

Three words – JOY is everything.
Being in a state of JOY means that we are vibrating at the same level as our Universal Source.  In JOY, there is no resistance to who you really are – you radiate well being and happiness.
Most people do not feel they are able to reach JOY.  This is where our EPS Scale helps us (see Module 1).  As long as you can identify and acknowledge the feelings that you are currently experiencing, then it only takes a small shift in your emotion to raise your vibration to the next level.
For instance, if you are currently feeling ‘frustrated’, rather than compounding that frustration further by trying to make the huge leap to JOY, try instead to achieve HOPE.  This is a much closer vibration on the EPS Scale and is, therefore, much easier to focus on.  From HOPE, you could step to RELIEF…then POSSIBILITY…then BELIEF…and before you know it…
Rest assured that JOY is always calling to you and it is a magnetic force that will not be ignored!

Vibration of the soul

In your journey to match your vibrations with those of the Universal Source, you may find yourself experiencing events and meeting people that aren’t necessarily in line with how you ‘think’ your life should be unfolding.  In times like these, you simply have to trust your ‘soul’, i.e. your Inner Self, and go where it leads you.
I first received a clear message about the importance of trusting my ‘soul’ some years ago, while working on contracts in Corporate Finance.  Over the course of my day-to-day work, I noticed that I was increasingly being sent on jobs whereby I ‘connected’ with people that needed my assistance above and beyond the normal scope of my daily duties.  One particular contract I was assigned to was with a South African airline based in Surrey, and I was asked to go to South Africa for a week to review their company work practices.
This presented quite a challenge for me, as a single parent with three of my four children still living at home, and as I made the necessary arrangements, I questioned the wisdom of my own company in sending me on this trip.  Upon arriving in South Africa, I was introduced to those I would be working with, ALL of whom warned me to keep away from a certain colleague, Ann, known for her terrible temper.
One lunch time, while eating in the cafeteria, I was unexpectedly joined by Ann!  As we began to converse, I discovered that she was going through a nasty divorce whereby her ex-husband was trying to take everything she owned.  With this new insight into the source of her ‘terrible temper’, I began helping her to view her situation from a different perspective.  We worked on grounding and protecting her energies, and talked together all week long.  On my last day, I gave Ann my favourite crystal to use with her meditations, and flew home to my family, happy to have helped.
About 3 weeks later, I received an amazing email from Ann: “Edel, I can’t thank you enough.  You have changed my life!  I have now started self-awareness classes and am taking back control.  I have bought every crystal under the sun, and meditate and do protection every day.  My ex-husband has backed off completely and has even agreed to compromise, so I will not be losing the house after all.  Everything is good”.
Then I KNEW why I had been sent to South Africa…the Universe was calling to my soul!

Your soul journey

As you start to look at your experiences in more detail, you will become aware that the Universe is in constant conversation with you. 
As an example of how a conversation between yourself and the Universe might go, imagine that you are experiencing a shortage of money.  You have used the three key elements of the Law of Attraction, i.e. thoughts, feelings and allowing, to draw more money to you, but nothing seems to be happening.  During your lunch hour one day, a friend takes you to a different sandwich shop from the one you normally visit.  While you are waiting to be served, you overhear a conversation between two senior people in your department.  They are talking about the need to set up a new role…a role you can do!
Now, you could leave that thought there and do no more about it OR you can recognise this for what it is – a nudge from the Universe – and ACT. 
No matter what happens throughout your life, good or bad, there is ALWAYS a message there – an answer to your questions.  This might come in the form of a chance meeting, a song you hear, or a line from a film – it can be anywhere and everywhere.
You must listen, be aware and ACT on the messages or coincidences presented to you.  We will explore further the importance of recognising coincidences when manifesting your desires in Module 4.

ACTIONS OF THE WEEK

1. Awaken your Chakras

Allow time in your meditation to work through the Chakra-opening process.  Visualise their location, colour, function and how they open to release vibrational energy.  It may take several meditations to recognise your connection and new communication with your Chakras, so really take the time to get to know this new part of you.  Keep a journal of any changes in how you feel as you become aware of them – this will help you measure your development.
2. Recognise your inner energy
As you begin to recognise the feelings you get from your inner energy, let this be your indicator throughout the day.  In any situation, consciously look at the way you are feeling and notice if you feel any different to how you would normally expect.
3. Create your friendship / love contrast
When you write your lists for your friendships / love relationships, notice how you feel as you write your ‘do NOT wants’ and recognise this feeling as being ‘out of alignment’ with your thoughts.  Similarly with the ‘DO wants’, notice those feelings and let this be your indicator of being ‘in alignment’ with your thoughts.  Give yourself time in your day or evening to work on this – focus your attention on YOU.
4. Converse with the Universe
Now that you have connected to your inner energy, it is time to begin your conversation with the Universe.  You are now aware of your inner voice and it is this that you will recognise as conducting your conversation.  As you consciously start to adjust your thinking to bring what you want into the now, look at what your energy is telling you in your body and in your mind BEFORE you start questioning it.
5. Find appreciation
Start to think about the appreciation you are finding in things around you, the gratitude you have.  It can be silently in your head or out loud if you’re walking in a secluded park or woods.  Again, notice how this feels and notice how things and people around react to you.  Getting good at manifesting is all about looking within and as you continue to practise, you will find it becomes easier and easier to attract your desires.
