The Law of Attraction is popular these days from reading books and watching videos but can often leave us feeling confused about how to apply it to our own lives. We sometimes need some practical tips and guidance to link the information integrate it into our daily lives and create the life we desire.
Step 1: Find your Style of Meditation
This is a practice that can sometimes seem very complicated and there is no one-size that fits all and you can try out different ways to find what works for you.
The key thing is to be comfortable and to find a space that feels good for you; you do not need to sit cross-legged.
It helps to focus on your breathing, mantra (short sentences) or on an object such as a flower or the sunrise
Some people might find it hard to sit still so try active methods such as walking or dancing meditation
One of my favourite apps is insighttimer.com where you can set sounds, time, etc.
Let go of the need to be perfect and it gets easier with practice

Step 2: Cultivating an Attitude of Gratitude
This a powerful practice and often we focus on what is not happening in our lives and forget to be grateful for what we do have. When we are grateful for what we do have it sets the Law of Attraction in motion and like a magnet we attract more things to be grateful for.
This can be done mentally by thinking of at least one thing you are grateful for each day
Writing in a journal every day what you are grateful for
Starting a gratitude jar where you write on a piece of paper something to be grateful for and add at least one thing every day

Step 3: Power of Positive Affirmations
Positive affirmations are powerful as we say sentences in the present tense that are already happening so developing a consciousness of already ‘having’ something in our lives. The word ‘affirm’ means to make strong, so by repeating the sentences daily or as often as we want it again sets the Law of Attraction in action like a magnet. I first learnt about positive affirmations during my training in the philosophy of Louise Hay
We use the present tense as if we say, for example, ‘I will be abundant’ it always stays in the future.
Read them and think how they feel fo[gi2] r you as it is important that the words resonate with you
Repeat them mentally at least once a day or as often as you want
Step 4: Visualization is Powerful
People think they cannot visualise but I am sure we all daydream from time to time thinking of our dream life whether it is being with a particular person or travelling the world. Visualisation is a process of creating a mental image of what we do want so it gives the Universe a clear picture of what we would like in our lives. The thing to remember is the Universe might bring us what we need and not what we want but trust the process.
When you say your positive affirmations imagine them happening in your life
What does it look like and how does it feel?
Imagine how life would be different if what you desire became a reality
Step 5: Create a Vision Board
It is also powerful to create a vision board with words and images of what you would like to manifest in your life. This can be a fun way to get creative and connect with your inner child.
Get some magazines and cut out pictures and words of what resonates with you e.g. exotic places, food etc and stick them on the card
If you prefer, you can do it electronically with numerous apps available such as Pinterest
Place your vision board in a prominent place you can see it as a reminder of what you would like in your life
Taking a Small Step is still Progress
It might sound like a lot of things to do but I invite you to start with a small step, such as meditation, and add one extra thing to do every day. After a while you will be doing it all automatically and hopefully will feel a positive shift to put apply the law of attraction to your life.
My goal with this article was to share my experiences with simple and effective tools that we can incorporate into our daily lives. When you start to apply these steps, you will feel inner peace and experience a shift in the flow of your life and see how the law of attraction can work for you.
