Law of Attraction in Sickness and Health

Many people don’t believe that they can apply the Law of Attraction to their health. While it is easier to believe that you’re either healthy or not, you should know there are lots of things that you can do to improve your health. 

Of course, eating nutritious foods and getting exercise are healthy choices you can make that have a great impact on keeping your body strong.

However, you should also remember that your ability to affect your health goes far beyond what you do physically.

The first thing that you must recognize is that your current physical condition is merely a result of everything you’ve done in the past.

You can’t simply blink your eyes or snap your fingers and have an illness or extra pounds vanish.

If your current condition is a result of your past, then it stands to reason that today’s actions will affect what your body looks and feels like in the future.

When you study the Law of Attraction, you learn that it’s not only your actions that impact the world around you. It’s your thoughts and feelings that have the most profound impact. So if you want to change your physical appearance, whether it is to be stronger, healthier, to eliminate illness, or to lose excess fat, you have to change the energy that you send out into the universe through your thoughts and feelings.

Let’s be clear that this is not always easy. Most people have had many years of practice criticizing their bodies. You repeat the mantras of your various illnesses and woes. You tell everyone that you suffer from allergies, that you’re accident prone, or that you constantly get sick all winter long.

You complain that you aren’t strong enough or that your back hurts. If you have a serious disease, you might even explain your illness and symptoms to your family and friends.  You join with others who share your illness and form support groups and raise money to fight against this physical foe.

What the Law of Attraction teaches you is that in order to get what you want, you must focus your energy on what you want. If you want to be healthier, you must focus your energy on feeling healthier now. You must feel health inside yourself. You must visualize doing the same things as the healthy people who have the level of health you desire.

Once you can feel this inside and you’re focusing on this positive energy, then you’ll feel inspired to take the appropriate action to help yourself reach your health goals. The action may be as simple as getting off the couch and walking around the block instead of watching television.

You may be inspired to buy a pair of good walking shoes. Perhaps you’ll be guided to start simply by getting some fresh air and taking more breaks from your desk job. Maybe you’ll even be inspired to go to the local farmer’s market and buy some fresh produce for dinner.

What you will be inspired to do will be as unique as you are. Follow this inspiration. Don’t expect to see your results manifesting overnight, but do expect to continue to feel improved health. Spend as much time being hopeful and positive about your body and your health as you can. With this new attitude and by taking inspired action, you will manifest better health.

You are the Most Powerful Person in Your Life

Is your life filled with people and experiences that you want? Or do you find yourself doing things you do not enjoy, surrounded by people you don’t even like? You are the most powerful person in your life and whether you believe it or not, you are the one creating your life whether you love it or hate it. 

This is great news. It means that you have the power to change your life if it isn’t going the way you want. You aren’t a victim of other people, of fate, or even of your past.

What you are experiencing right now is happening because of the choices you made and thoughts and beliefs you have held in the past.

So while your past creates your present, it does not have to create your future.

By applying the Universal Law of Attraction, you can shift your life so that you are experiencing the magical life that you desire and deserve.

The Universe is constantly sending out a stream of well-being. Your negative emotions and limiting beliefs are like a dike that you put up, temporarily blocking the stream from reaching you.

There are many natural laws such as the Law of Gravity, but the Universal Law of Attraction governs the Universe. Like all natural laws, it doesn’t judge or choose. The law only responds. That is all it can do.

Your thoughts and feelings are sent out to the Universe as a signal; a vibration. The Law of Attraction simply states that what you get back in response to your vibration must match. When you send out positive vibrations, you will attract things that match that vibration and get things that you want. When you send out negative vibrations, you will attract things that you do not want.

The things that you attract may be literally things, or they may be thoughts, people, or experiences.

If your life experience is not what you want, then you can change it by changing the vibration that you send out to the Universe.

Often people believe they are sending out positive signals and are disappointed when they do not manifest their desires. If this is happening to you, then you are out of alignment with what you want. As much as you believe you are on the same frequency, the energy that you are sending out does not match what you want -- it always matches what you are getting.

In order to get what you want, you must remove any dikes that you have constructed that are blocking that flow of well-being. You must think about what you desire and you must also believe that you deserve it.

The key is to feel good as often as you can. When you feel bad, you block the flow of positive energy that the Universe is trying to send to you. That doesn’t mean you should push down or deny your feelings. It just means that you should work to feel better.

Fortunately, there are many tools that you can use to raise your vibration. It may be as simple as getting a breath of fresh air or petting the dog. You might put on some music and dance around the living room. Or you might take a few minutes remembering a specific time when you felt really good. These are just some of the ways you can improve your vibration so you’re in alignment to receive the stream of well-being.

Make your happiness the highest priority. When you do that, you will begin to see your life shift right before your eyes. Soon you will be living the life of your dreams.

Shifting Our Thinking Creates Heaven on Earth

Many people think of Heaven as a reward for life here on Earth. Some even believe that in order to receive that reward, our life here must be difficult. What if you can actually have “Heaven on Earth”? 

When you are open to all the possibilities in life, then you are in a blissful state of mind.

That is what Heaven is, so surely you can consciously set out to achieve that goal.

The shortest, fastest pathway to bliss is to have fun.

Your self-talk plays an important role in whether or not you are going to experience fun.

When there is a task before you, how do you think and feel about it? Listen to how you describe what you are doing or going to do. Do you say to yourself and to others that you “have” to do this? Do you feel like the task is a heavy weight, bearing down on your shoulders?

It doesn’t feel very good when you think you have to do something. How much better does it feel when you get to do something?

Do you think fun is your treat for working hard or accomplishing an unpleasant task? Rather than reserving fun as a reward, how about shifting your thinking to make every task fun?

To shift your thinking about the tasks you must do, think about the things you enjoy doing. What are the activities that you refer to as “getting” to do? What about those activities makes them fun for you?

In order to manifest what you want in life, you need to be in a place of allowing. You are far from a state of allowing when you feel burdened and impressed upon. It all boils down to this: you want to be having fun with everything that you are doing.

Let go of the idea that “work” must be dull, boring, or difficult. Be open to the idea that it can be exciting, stimulating, interesting, and fun. Now, go back to the thought of the activities that you enjoy. What can you take from those activities and apply to make your “work” activities fun?

You can manifest Heaven on Earth by shifting your thinking. Make a conscious decision that whatever you are going to do, it is going to be fun.

The task may be one of your own choosing, something you have been directed to do by a boss, teacher, or family member. It could be a significant task or something quite mundane. Regardless of the source or scope of the task, choose to have fun.

Use the Law of Attraction to Take Control of Your Life

At one point or another, you have probably expressed grief over not having enough control in your own life. Those feelings of hopelessness are unfortunately common in today's fast-paced society where individuals are taught to become part of the whole.

The good news is that it doesn’t have to always be that way. You can use the Law of Attraction to take control of your life, once and for all.

The majority of people know that the Law of Attraction states that positive thoughts beget positive outcomes and negative thoughts beget negative results. However, it goes much deeper.

By strongly focusing on an intention to go into action, the action center of your brain lights up. This prompts you to actually do something instead of mourning your inability to do it.

As long as your intentions are strong and positive, you will ultimately end up with positive results.

Here is an example: You want a promotion at work. You focus on the outcome as positive, with strong intentions to gain this promotion.

The action center of your brain lights up, prompting you to improve your performance at your job. The positivity you are exuding helps to further achieve positive results.

You ultimately end up with the job promotion.

Taking back control of your life is as simple as this. You may find it difficult at first. Being negative and downtrodden is very common in this society.

It is perhaps what you were taught to do. With a little practice, however, you can be a positive person who easily gains the positive outcomes they desire. You will also find it easier to focus on strong intention as you make a practice out of it.

What is the key?

Don't give up!

Take control of your life. Use the Law of Attraction to get rid of your feelings of hopelessness. Keep practicing meaningful intention and positivity. Eventually it will come to you naturally. Too many people give up because they find this difficult. Don't let that be you. It is your life. Nobody else controls you. Take action now and reap the positive benefits for a lifetime. 

Physical Well-Being and the Law of Attraction

“Optimism is a happiness magnet. If you stay positive, good things and good people will be drawn to you.” - Mary Lou Retton

Research has discovered the power of positive thought. The power of the Universal Law of Attraction so aptly summarized in the quote by Olympics Gold Medal Winner Mary Lou Retton, is a true aid to managing stress and optimizing your physical well being . 

It should come as no surprise that positive thoughts can help us get and stay healthy.

Empirical research has found that there are many positive health benefits associated with positive thinking and optimistic attitudes.

The Mayo Clinic found that positive thinking is linked to a wide range of health benefits including:

• Better psychological health 
• Increased sense of well-being 
• Lower depressions rates
• Reduced stress
• Longer life span
• Better stress management and coping skills
• Lower risks of cardiovascular disease-related death
• Increased resistance to the common cold

In a study of 1,550 older adults, the results showed that positive thinking also reduced frailty in the geriatric population.

How can you help yourself to think positive thoughts?  One of the first steps to take is to learn to pay attention to your own self-talk. When you do this, do you encourage and find the things you like best about yourself? Or are you self-sabotaging and focusing on everything you dislike about yourself?  Begin intentionally focusing on good things, good words and good feelings about who you are.

Affirmations can be a useful tool to begin shifting your focus from negative thoughts and self-talk to positive thoughts and self-talk. Write several positive statements about yourself or about your life. Keep it simple. Maybe you love your hair or you love your ability to help other people.  Once you begin looking for positive things about yourself, you will start to discover more and more things you like.

Keep an affirmations journal where you can write down your positive thoughts.  If you are having difficulty coming up with something positive to say to yourself, read through your journal and reflect on all the positive things you have already written and focus on one of those entries for the day.

Search online for affirmation or buy a book of affirmations. As you read them, notice which ones really feel good when you read them. Think about why they feel good. Do they fit you now or do they feel good because the affirmation is something you really want to be a part of your life in the future?

No matter what, affirmations can help you stay in a place of happiness. They may help you become healthy if you aren’t, or stay healthy because you will be lifting your mood. You will be allowing your body to heal and work optimally to protect you from disease.

The Universal Law of Attraction and Prayer

Prayer is associated with religious belief, but prayer is truly the response one makes in expressing the feeling of one’s deepest desires. Anyone can pray and it doesn’t matter if you attend church every day or you have never even taken a step inside one.

When one talks about faith, one speaks about faith not necessarily in religious terms, but as the degree or extent to which you believe in what you want right at that moment, and the belief that it is coming to you.

Prayer is also a form of meditation. Mantras are commonly used as a way to focus and meditate, and a mantra can certainly be a prayer as simple as “I pray for peace and love,” or “I want peace and love.” 

Prayer focuses one’s thoughts on the things one most wants. It is a conversation with a higher power and if you are not religious, that higher power is you, expanded. It is a conversation between your conscious mind, and your higher self, or that part of you containing all the wisdom. 

Prayer leads one to “oneness,” or unity with the universe.

When you become aware and pray or meditate with intention, you focus your feelings and thoughts on the things you are grateful for or want. You exponentially increase the power of those thoughts. Prayer generally encompasses basic principles of faith, gratitude and charity-giving, or thinking about others.

These are the foundational principles that nurture the proper mindset to attract the things you want into your life.  When you pray or when you meditate, you do so from a mindset of love. This helps you attract outcomes of love back to you. If you pray out of fear, anger, need, or frustration, you will attract back more of the same.

It is important to pray, or meditate in alignment with what you really want. Recognize what mindset your intentions are coming from and you will be able to manifest what you want successfully. Feelings and thoughts can be subconscious and automatic, or controlled and directed. The power of prayer depends on the faith of the individual.

When you believe strongly, the feelings you express in prayer are able to overcome obstacles.  It is the omnipotent knowing of faith that opens up the energy to creatively visualize what you want. Prayer also focuses on gratitude for what you have in the present as well as for the things that are to come.  This is the same principle you use to apply the law of attraction.

Prayer and faith are great gifts and tools. Those who have great faith regardless of what it’s placed in and believe in said faith, can use prayer as a powerful tool to harness the creative energy of the universe and create their own desired reality.

Love Thyself: The Universal Law of Attraction

The law of attraction is based on positive thoughts and intentions but it is difficult, if not impossible to find or manifest the things you really want if you do not love and respect yourself because negative emotion will be present.  Learning to accept yourself as you are and to be grateful for who you are the first steps towards taking control of your thoughts and finding the positives in everything.

 

How can we learn to love ourselves unconditionally?  The first step is to be grateful for who you are right now. 

Being grateful for who you are is the start to being able to accept your strengths and weaknesses and see them as part of the completely wonderful, lovable person you are. 

The next step is to recognize that happiness does not come from anyone or anything outside of you because you know and accept that you are already a successful, happy person.  No one can take away your happiness or the love you have for yourself. This frees you from worry, doubt and fear because no matter what happens, at the end of each day you love yourself unconditionally. 

When you get to the point of being able to love yourself, your relationships will begin to transform. You will not need to be in a relationship to find love because you already have all you need within yourself. Instead, you will begin giving away love to people without needing or expecting anything in return. 

Conflicts will fade away because you have the confidence to not only accept yourself but to accept your partner and friends for who they are.  You begin to manifest the type of relationships you have always wanted.

When you love yourself, it is easier to find the positive in others and in situations. It will help you stay focused on the positive outcomes you want for your life and you will find gratitude easier to practice as well.  It will be easier to spend more time reflecting, meditating, and visualizing because you are already in a happy place. 

Consider doing nice things that you would do for others for yourself.  Treat yourself with the same love and respect you show to others.  Daily affirmations are another good way to remind yourself of everything you love about who you are and those things that you accept about yourself.  Learning to love yourself is the foundation for finding true happiness, joy and peace.

An Unlimited Universe

According to the Universal Law of Attraction the power to create our own reality is unlimited.  The universe is limitless, an invisible energy force which, because we are all connected by pure energy to everything else in the universe, means that our power to manifest our own reality is also unlimited.

The Universal Law of Attraction is based on the concept that like energy attracts like energy and that everything, including our thoughts are composed of energy.  Simply stated, we create what we think, or if we think positive thoughts we attract positive things into our lives, and if we think negative thoughts, we attract negative things into our life.

This law is always at work in our lives whether we are conscious of it or not.

If we truly believe the universe is unlimited, our thoughts are also unlimited. The problem is, although the potential of our thoughts is unlimited we often limit our own thinking.

People are naturally influenced and affected by the people around them. If we think about a typical day, we turn on the news and rarely hear anything positive. Bad news seems to sell.

We may find it hard to be truly happy for other people’s successes, and it is easy for most of us to nag, criticize, and say negative things about others.

We get caught up in negativity; hence, we limit the ability of our thoughts to become powerful because we doubt that things can really happen the way we want them to.  We evaluate our future success based on current situations.

The Universal Law of Attraction teaches that the universe is an ocean of possibilities without limits. You need only ask with great intention and focus on the things you want to attract into your life, and believe without doubt the ability of the universe to deliver whatever that is into your life. 

Sounds too simple?  

In a way, it is. It takes work to learn how to intentionally choose and focus your thoughts to harness the power of your thoughts to manifest the things you want in life.

The good news is that there are tools and techniques that you can use to become more fully conscious of how the Universal Law of Attraction is at work in your life, and how to harness the power of positive thinking to attract into your life the things you truly want to attract from a limitless universe of possibilities.
