New You Can Use
Utilizing The Law of Attraction
 by Jack Canfield
The law of attraction states that you will attract into your
life—whether wanted or unwanted—whatever you give
your energy, focus, and attention to.
You are constantly giving off vibrations of energy when you
think and feel. These vibrations can be picked up and received
by other people. That’s why people say, “he has good
vibes,” or “he gives off bad vibes.” You are
constantly giving off vibrations.
If you’re feeling excited, enthusiastic, passionate, happy,
joyful, loving, appreciative, abundant, prosperous, relaxed and
peaceful, you are giving off positive vibrations.
On the other hand, if you are feeling bored, anxious, worried,
confused, sad, lonely, hurt, angry, resentful, guilty, disappointed,
frustrated, overwhelmed, stressed out, or depressed, then you
are giving off negative vibrations.
The law of attraction states that the universe responds to whatever
you are offering -- by giving you more of whatever you are vibrating.
It doesn’t care whether it is good for you or not; it simply
responds to your vibration.
If you saw the film The Secret, you saw this explained in great
detail.
The problem is that most of the time, you are not aware of what
vibration you are offering. You are simply responding to things
outside of you—current events, the news, how people treat
you, the stock market, how much money you are making, how your
children are doing in school, whether or not your favorite sports
team wins—and then having a feeling that is either positive
or negative.
When you are simply responding unconsciously to what happens
around you, you tend to stay “stuck” in your current
condition. This is why most people’s lives never seem to
change very much. They get stuck in a repeating cycle of recreating
the same reality over and over by the vibration they are sending
out.
It works like this… First you observe what you currently
have and are currently receiving in your life. You call this
your “reality.” You respond to what you observe with
a feeling, positive or negative, which then gives off that vibration
to the universe. The law of attraction then responds to this
vibration and brings you more of what you were vibrating. This
keeps the cycle going over and over, until you choose to change
it through the exertion of your will. You are a victim of your
lack of awareness of the law of attraction.
The Process of Intentional Creation
It is possible to get out of this vicious cycle and create what
you want instead of continually recreating what you already
have. It is a simple three step process that you can begin
immediately.
If you’ve been implementing the action steps at the end
of each principle I coach you through in The Success Principles:
30-Day Journey Audio Course, you have already begun this process.
Step 1: Identify what you truly desire & eliminate
the negative
It is important to focus on what you want rather than what you
don’t want. You must state it in the positive and filter
out the words don’t, not and no. Remember, your mind works
in pictures and if you say I don’t want to be mad, you
are creating the picture and thus the vibration of being mad.
You must create the opposite of what you don’t want.
Step 2: Raise your vibration level
Your job in stage two is to create a vibrational match for that
which you say you want to have. How would you be feeling if you
already had those things—the perfect job, the perfect relationship,
the mount of money that you want to have?
Your job is to identify what makes you feel good and do more
of it, then learn not to tolerate your negative feelings.
Affirmations are an important component in raising your vibrational
level to what it is you want. Remember, the law of attraction
does not respond to the words you use or the thoughts you think.
It simply responds to how you feel about what you say and how
you feel about what you think.
For information on how to create even more effective affirmations,
review pages 75-80 in The Success Principles, where you’ll
find my “Nine Guidelines for Creating Effective Visualizations.”
Step 3. Release it and allow it.
In this third step you simply release your affirmation, your
vibration, and your feelings to the universe to take care of
your “request” or “order” as I call it.
But you have to abstain from any doubts. If you doubt you can
have it in any way, then you are not allowing it. You are pushing
it away and you end up with contradictory messages to the universe
It is only when the contradictory thoughts, talk, and images
are removed that your desired results will manifest. The faster
you remove your resistance, the faster your dreams can be realized.
