The Keys To Manifesting Success

In the book The Law of Attraction, authors Esther and Jerry Hicks write, “The more you come to understand the power of the Law of Attraction, the more interest you will have in deliberately directing your thoughts — for you get what you think about, whether you want it or not.”

Many people practice various manifestation techniques in an attempt to get the Law of Attraction to work for them, including visualization, journaling, prayer, vision boards, focus wheels, affirmations, dreamwork, and so on. Some succeed spectacularly, while others, sadly, fail miserably at manifesting their desires.

If this has been your experience, know that there is always a solution! Since the universal Law of Attraction definitely works for some people, it surely must work for everyone. All that is usually required are a few adjustments to one’s approach to the manifesting process.

Consider the following practical strategies as potential keys to your manifesting success:

Be Relaxed

Try to be as relaxed as possible when doing any kind of manifestation exercise. Stress and tension make us negative, but to manifest we need to be relaxed and positive. We can only attract what we resonate with, because like attracts like. You cannot attract positive things into your life if you are in a negative state of mind. Do your manifesting work in a grateful, joyful mood in a comfortable, quiet environment.

Be Invested

It’s not enough to have a wish or desire for something; there must be intentional energy behind it. When doing any manifestation work, it is important to set a powerful intention with clarity and a sincere desire for whatever you wish to manifest. Your desires must feel vivid and alive. Include all of your senses in your thoughts and visualizations.

Take the power of visualization one step further by embodying your future achievements. Once you have laid out the perfect idea of success, it’s time to physically become the person who sits inside that life ~ Serena Poon

Be Present

This may seem counterintuitive, but focusing on the future in your manifestation practice is not the way to go. This is a common mistake many people make. If you think of your desired results as something that will manifest in the future, then that is where it will remain…distant from you, in the future, and always out of reach. To attract something into our lives, we must perceive it as already being here, in the present. We have to perceive it as manifested in the ‘here and now,’ rather than ‘someday’.

Be Detached

Detachment is essential to successful manifestation with the Law of Attraction. This is not as easy as it may seem. While we must be firmly invested and have a strong intention for what we want, we must not be obsessed, overly attached, or too emotionally intense about it. This balance between knowing exactly what you want and not wanting it too much is challenging and an art in itself, but it is essential to success.

Make an effort to expect everything, but do not get attached to what will happen. Expect to get what you want, but do not worry about it or actively wait for it to come. This is the only way to make your efforts truly fruitful, because waiting is very often associated with impatience, frustration, worry, anxiety, or anguish.

Attachment leads to negative emotions that create resistance or energy blockages. When we send any kind of negativity into the universe, what we want will either not manifest; or it will manifest more slowly; or we will simply attract more negativity and create more lack in our lives.

Be Specific

Believe it or not, some people just aren’t specific enough when they make a universal request. For example, you may ask for a car, a job, a mate, a house, or whatever, but fail to describe exactly what kind of vehicle, job, mate, house you are actually looking for. This can lead to some unexpected ‘deliveries’ that may not be in accordance with your true heart’s desire.

Therefore, the next time you call upon the forces of the universe to deliver what you want, make sure you ask for a job, for example, where you would be doing and earning what you you really want and deserve.

Many conversations about manifestation heavily emphasize the thinking and feeling aspects and barely mention the doing. But it’s in the doing that the real magic of manifestation exists ~ Denise Fournier

Be Careful

Have you ever heard the expression, “Be careful what you wish for“? Well, it matters more than most people realize. In fact, I have seen it so many times with my clients and friends when they attract someone or something that is not right for them. People often live to regret the request they originally made months or years later. It is important to be fully convinced that what you are asking for is truly in your best interest and will serve the greater good, not only for yourself, but for anyone else who may be involved or affected by the manifestation.

Be Selfless

When making any request of the universe, it is important to remember that we should never ask for anything that would go against anyone’s free will. Your request must be for the greater good of all concerned and it is best to share your blessings with others. The universe rewards selflessness and generosity. Selfish, greedy people also manifest, but they always pay a very high price for it in the end. If we take more than we need, and at the expense of others, the universe will always correct the karmic imbalance.

Be Grateful

Last, but certainly not least, a very important and often overlooked component in the manifestation process is gratitude. As stated earlier, like attracts like. To attract abundance and prosperity, we cannot be in a negative state of mind focused on lack and scarcity. By appreciating the good things we already have in our lives, our energy vibrates that we are safe and provided for. This opens us up to receive more abundance in our lives. Gratitude is a powerful and attractive energy.
