I’ve been hip to The Law of Attraction, the major focus of the blockbuster hit DVD The Secret, for about a dozen years. In 1995, a friend handed me a cassette tape from someone named Esther Hicks, who channels a bunch of discarnate beings named Abraham. Esther was featured in the initial version of The Secret, but was edited out for various reasons (see New York Times, February 27, 2007 article). In one way I’m psyched Oprah jumped on The Secret bandwagon, because now these amazing concepts are gaining popularity, and for many people, their lives will benefit from knowing this information.

But for those of us who’ve been around The Law of Attraction block, exploring the deeper implications of this principle is where the real power in using it lies. The fundamental creed of the Law of Attraction is: Things of a similar vibration, or anything liken unto itself, are drawn together. It’s the “Birds of a Feather” concept. People with similar interests often hang out with one another, or dwell in similar locations in cyberspace. Ergo, like attracts like.

Here’s some pointers I’ve discovered about the Law of Attraction that might help sort out some of the confusion as to how to implement the principle:

1) Remember to ask for the highest good. When setting an intention, ask for the highest good for all concerned to be part of the outcome. This helps shift your focus from “me me me,” to what’s best for everyone. It also allows you to let go of controlling how things happen, and gives the Universe wiggle room to orchestrate events so your desires can manifest.

2) Focus on understanding why things happen. Over and over again, I witnessed how incredibly powerful the Law of Attraction could be when I asked to receive answers or insights about my perception of reality and human nature, not just the physical materials I desired to possess. All kinds of amazing things happened when I focused on helping not only myself, but others as well.

3) Get real with your subconscious beliefs. Before you focus on the job, the money, the partner or whatever else you’d like to attract, first get to the heart of what might be in the way of vibrationally letting these things come into your life. I’ve found it absolutely essential to do my inner work, to really get to understand where I’ve been blind to my fears and motivations. The Law of Attraction can’t work if you’ve got a subconscious belief that people who have money are bad, or if you are unaware that a deep unconscious fear of abandonment has impacted all of your previous relationships. The subconscious works in conjunction with the next subject: healing.

4) Focus on healing. Really. This is probably the most important factor in working consciously with the Law of Attraction. If you focus on healing your past traumas, even if you aren’t aware that you’ve got any, the Universe will allow them to start to show up in your life so that you can heal. If you heal, then your vibration, or signal, is clean and clear towards what you want. The Universe acts like a big radio receiver, and if you are saying you want something, but have a deeper belief that you can’t have it, you can’t draw that experience or situation to you because your vibration is sending out mixed signals. Therefore, focus on healing yourself, and watch your life unfold in spectacular ways.

5) Watch for synchronous events. The Celestine Prophecy, by James Redfield, reiterates the importance of synchronicity in the Third Insight-…”Moreover, we humans can project our energy by focusing our attention in the desired direction (”where attention goes, energy flows”), influencing other energy systems and increasing the pace of coincidences in our lives.” Synchronicity makes it easy for anyone to know that they are receiving an important message from the Universe. When you set an intention, and synchronicities or coincidences start to unfold, the Law of Attraction is giving you a high five that your intentions are being received loud and clear. Now, you need to acknowledge and appreciate the synchronicity for showing up, and not brush it off as “luck” or meaningless. By paying attention and exploring the deeper meaning of the synchronicity,(like why a memory of that old friend you haven’t seen or corresponded with in 20 years popped into your head, and then they call you on the phone later that afternoon) more will start to appear. You’re in the zone, so enjoy the journey!
