What is the Law of Attraction?
The Law of Attraction works on the basis of "like attracts like". Whatever vibration/frequency we give off to the world reflects back to us. What we think, feel, dream and imagine will manifest into our physical reality. Every second of the day we are creating the world around us with our thoughts and intent. This can work for or against us. The universe can't decipher positive and negative, it will always deliver to you what you truly believe will happen. When going about your day to day life try and keep a positive frame of mind, when in a situation that could have many outcomes, focus on the outcome you most want, not what you don't want.
Using the Law of Attraction
We all want to manifest the best life for ourselves and for our loved ones as possible. The Law of Attraction can be very useful to help us do that. Below are a few steps to getting started with the Law of Attraction and some helpful hints for using this law in your life.
Step 1 - What do you want?
Its quite hard to manifest something into reality if you don't know what your trying to manifest. So the first step to using the LOA is actually deciding what you want. Think carefully about this as sometimes what first springs to mind might not actually be what you truly want (its our deep true desires that have the strongest power to manifest, as they have the most intense emotions behind them).
So take some time out to have a good long think about how you actually want your life to be. Meditate, go within, strip away all the pressures and perceptions others have made for your life and find what's most important to you.

Step 2 - Believe
Now you know what you want, you must believe that you are capable of having it. This is a lot harder than it sounds, especially if things haven't been going particularly well for you recently. Put any current negativities aside and focus on something positive you want.
Visualising yourself in your ideal situation helps it become believable to you. The more you see yourself with the life you want and the more you feel like your already there, the quicker you will get there.

Step 3 - Be Thankful
Now you believe you can have what you desire, be thankful for it as though it was already here. Gratitude is an extremely powerful emotion. When we are thankful for something, it is like we are sending a little message to universe saying
"Thank you, I liked that, send more of that to me please"
So by feeling gratitude for something we have not yet got, we can help manifest it into our life.

Step 4 - Surrender
After completing the first 3 steps, Surrender really is the key to unlocking your goals. In my opinion its the act of surrendering that makes the whole thing happen, The final piece of the puzzle and one of the hardest steps to achieve.
Surrender doesn't mean to give up. it means that you surrender your wants/wishes to the universe because you accept that ultimately, its the universe/fate/god/creator (whatever resonates with you) that is going to make this happen for you. Trust that the universe is working behind the scenes, creating cords and events which will unknowingly to you at that time, lead you to your goal. the universe is your biggest supporter, its always rooting for you. So have no fear in surrendering to its beautiful plan.

Visualisations & Affirmations
Visualisations & Affirmations can be powerful tools to help you along your way.
Visualising
For example: You want a better job.
Close your eyes, take some deep breaths and try to visualise walking into that dream job. Be as detailed as you can, build up the picture as fully as possible. See yourself in the mirror, dressed for your first day. The outfit you'll wear, how you'll have your hair. visualise yourself parking outside your new work place, stepping into your office, the people who will greet you, the smell of the coffee, the sounds of the printers. Those little details will help you "get lost in the thought" and the emotions of being in that moment will start to wash over you. Go with it, allow yourself to dream, feel as though you are actually there. Every time you do this you create the same feelings for yourself as actually being there, You vibrate at a matching frequency/vibration and start to draw this to you.

Creating a Vision Board
Creating a vision board can help you visualise your dreams and get a clear embedded picture in your mind of what your trying to achieve. The process of actually making your vision board is a pretty powerful act in itself, as you put effort into cutting and sticking and finding your photos, concentration etc. your sending out very strong thoughts and intentions.
To make your Vision Board simply get a large piece of paper/card/pin board and fill it with photos, drawings, words, symbols which represent the things you want. Add a photo of that car you want and the house you want to live in. don't be afraid to add things that seem a bit out of reach, its a board of your dreams add what ever you like.

Why isn't the Law of Attraction working for me? - Blocks along the way
Sometimes it can get frustrating when it seems like we are failing to manifest the life that we want. But don't be discouraged when things aren't going your way. We can visualise the outcome that we want but we can rarely predict the path that leads us there. sometimes we must go through things which may seem negative to us, but they will always lead us to greater things. Remember that the Law of Attraction must abide by/ work with the other universal laws and have patience that your wishes are being entwined and interlinked with all the other Laws, cycles and possible karma we could be going through.
If you continue your journey, adapt and grow gracefully through the hard times, keep true to your beliefs, hold high intentions and trust that the universe is always leading you to your best self, and greatest possible outcome, even if you can't see it yet, you'll see real improvements very quickly.
There are many things that can block our dreams from manifesting:. our beliefs, perceptions of our self, societies influence over us, patterns and behaviours picked up in childhood, our worries and fears etc. It can take a lot of practice to clear our minds of the bad to make way for the good to enter.
Sometimes we pick up thought patterns and don't even realise it, if you find yourself sometimes thinking/saying things like:
"I Have the worst luck", "I never win anything", "The traffic will be terrible", "I'm never going to able to get out of debt", "I could never afford that", "I'll never afford to own my own home", "All men cheat", "Money corrupts", "We'll never find a parking space"... etc.
We seem to easily get into the habit of saying these negative affirmations to ourselves, sometimes on a daily basis and these thoughts of doubt may be blocking you from your dreams...you have to believe you can get there. Practice turning it around and the next time one of these thoughts pop into your head, reverse it and feel thankful:
"thank you for the parking space right outside", "I'm going to come back and buy that", "Every day my debt goes down", "I will reach my destination quickly and safely".
remember to feel grateful for your desired outcome.
Our upbringing and society around us can have a lot to do with it, I'm sure at one point or another the majority of us have been told things like:
"Money doesn't grow on trees", "you have to work hard for everything in life", "if you don't go to college/university you won't get a good job", "Beauty is pain", "good things come to those who wait", "Beggars can't be choosers"...etc.
Break those age old perceptions, they don't apply to you, you are limitless. Stay Positive, Stay Thankful, Feel Love.
