Manifesting Abundance: Law Of Attraction In Your Home

The Law of Attraction is a universal principle that states that you will attract into your life whatever you focus on. It is always in effect, influencing your life in more ways than you can imagine. Positive thoughts and actions reap positive rewards, and vice versa for negative ones. This is one of the 12 universal laws of hermetic philosophy, popularised by Rhonda Byrne's book, 'The Secret'.

The Law of Attraction has three fundamental principles. Firstly, similar things attract each other. Secondly, it's impossible to have truly empty space in your mind, so it's important to fill your mind with positive things and clear out negativity. Thirdly, it's essential to feel gratitude for the present moment.

The Law of Attraction can be applied to your home in several ways. Firstly, identify and choose exactly what you want to manifest in your home. Visualise your exact desired future home. Practice daily gratitude for your present home. Reframe past and present home-related situations from negative to positive. Start daily or weekly writing in a gratitude journal. Use creative visualisation to imagine your dream home in great detail. Create a vision board that represents your dream home.

Visualise your dream home

Visualising your dream home is a powerful way to use the Law of Attraction to manifest your ideal living situation. Here are some steps to help you visualise and attract your dream home:

Get Clear on Your Desires

Start by making a list of everything you desire in your dream home. Be as specific as possible and consider all your senses. What does your dream home look like? What emotions does it evoke? Are there any particular smells or sounds? The more detailed your vision, the better. You can also create a dream board or vision board to help you visualise. Include images, colours, and words that represent your dream home and the life you want to live in it.

Believe and Feel

Belief is crucial to manifesting your dream home. You must truly believe that your dream home is possible and within your reach. Start small if it helps build your belief. Visualise your dream home in exact detail and imagine yourself living in it. Infuse your visualisation with emotions and feelings. How does it feel to walk through the door? What do you do in this space? The more you can engage your emotions, the more powerful your manifestation will be.

Practice Gratitude

Gratitude is an essential aspect of the Law of Attraction. Take time to appreciate what you already have and the good things in your life. This positive mindset will help you attract more positive things, including your dream home. You can keep a gratitude journal or simply express gratitude aloud each day for the things you are thankful for.

Visualise Daily

Consistency is key. Make it a daily practice to visualise your dream home. Find a quiet space and take a few minutes to close your eyes and picture your dream home in detail. Imagine yourself living in it and experiencing all the emotions and sensations you desire. The more you do this, the stronger your manifestation will become.

Take Inspired Action

While visualisation is powerful, it must be combined with action. Ask yourself, "What can I do today to bring me closer to my dream home?" Taking small, consistent actions will help turn your visualisation into a reality. Remember, the Law of Attraction is about both your thoughts and your actions.

By following these steps and maintaining a positive mindset, you will be well on your way to manifesting your dream home using the Law of Attraction.

Create a vision board

A vision board is a powerful tool to manifest your dreams and reprogram your subconscious mind. It is a physical manifestation of your goals and can be used to put the Law of Attraction into practice to turn your dreams into reality.

Step 1: Planning your board

Consider the message you want your board to convey and how you want it to look. Ask yourself the following questions:

• Do you want one board or multiple boards for different areas of your life?
• What type of images will you use?
• Is your vision board style tidy or messy?
• Do you want to add embellishments?

Step 2: Buying your supplies

To make sure you have all the supplies on hand to make the creation experience smooth and uniquely yours, it’s time to take your list and buy the things you need. Don’t hesitate to check out thrift stores and local sites to find crafting supplies.

Step 3: Setting up your space

Creating a vision board is a ritual. It’s a time to get in touch with your true self, identify your deepest desires, and focus your energy on attracting them into your life. Treat this moment as self-care, something you’re doing for yourself.

• Find an uninterrupted, quiet space.
• Set out all your supplies.
• Light some candles or incense.
• Turn on some music.
• Meditate or say a prayer before you begin.

Step 4: Creating your vision board

It’s time to let your creative power shine. Cut out your images and tell a story or create a collage of images that speak to you. What matters is that the images mirror your desires. When you look at the board images, you should feel a strong positive connection to those desires.

Step 5: Placing your board

Place the board in a visible place, somewhere where you see it every day. You can place it near your nightstand, in your workspace, or any other space that you’re often in.

Step 6: Sitting with your board

To avoid ‘not really seeing’ your vision board, create a weekly habit of purposely sitting with your board. For about 10 minutes, look at it, reflect on why you chose those specific images, and revisit the feelings of happiness and gratitude of eventually having those desires in your life.

Practice gratitude

Practising gratitude is an essential part of the Law of Attraction. The following are some ways to cultivate gratitude and bring more positive energy into your home.

Morning Meditation

Upon waking, create a feeling of excitement about the day ahead. Focus on the aspects of the day that will expand your awareness of gratitude. For example, you might be looking forward to greeting the beauty of the morning or attending a particular event.

Wonderment

Develop a sense of wonderment by appreciating the beauty that surrounds you. If you live in the countryside, marvel at the natural world. If you live in the city, admire the creative architecture.

Journaling

Log experiences of joy in a gratitude journal. If you ever feel your sense of appreciation slipping, you can look back at the journal and remember how lucky you are.

Present Moment Awareness

Tell yourself that there is no point in worrying about the past or the future. There is only the present moment, and in the present, there is no room for stress or worry. This practice will help make room for added gratitude.

Kindness

Being kind to others increases your own gratitude. Kindness breeds compassion, and more wonderful acts of altruism and goodwill will follow.

Increase Your Joy

Place yourself mindfully. For example, watch the sun go down or go for a barefoot stroll along the beach. These small actions can boost your joy and thankfulness.

Show Your Gratitude

Welcome opportunities to thank people for their kindness and character traits that you appreciate. Being mindful of seeking out the positive aspects of people's natures will develop your awareness of goodness, and you will attract more positive people into your life.

Gratitude for Wealth

Instead of focusing on financial hardship, celebrate your prosperity and abundance. Express your satisfaction about having plenty of everything that you require in your life, and more will follow.

Focus on Well-Being

Focus on gratitude for your well-being and health each day. Forget about any ailments or diseases that you have and, for a short while, send energy to aspects of yourself for which you are appreciative.

Bedtime Reflection

Before you go to sleep, contemplate features of the passing day about which you are thankful. Let gratitude replenish your emotional energy.

Gratitude at Home

When we are asked to think of something that makes us happy, it often turns out that we are thinking of a person. Home is where the heart is, and the heart is usually in the hands of someone we care deeply about. However, we often let negativity consume us and forget to say thank you to that person.

Important studies have shown that gratitude shared on a regular basis with someone helps relationships grow and strengthens them. Gratitude betters communication in relationships. It brings us closer to each other and makes us calmer, more understanding and kinder.

Gratitude with Friends

Showing gratitude makes us more likeable, which in turn makes us easier to get along with. This will make your friends happier, which will make you happier, and so on. Gratitude is a circle of joy.

Studies have shown that gratitude deepens and strengthens relationships, and there is no reason why your friends would be excluded from that. Good friends should never be neglected, and saying thank you is a nice way to let them know that you love and appreciate them. Living a life of gratitude and kindness also makes us more attractive and opens doors to more friendships.

Reframe negative thoughts

Reframing negative thoughts is a powerful tool in your positivity arsenal. It is a skill that can be practised and honed over time. Start with small, insignificant negative thoughts and work your way up to more significant limiting beliefs. For example, "I don't think anyone will like me at the party" can be reframed as "I'm sure to find at least one person I get along with at the party".

Another example would be to change "I'm too scared to face everyone at this job interview" to "Everyone finds it nerve-wracking to attend an interview, but I know I can present my best self".

In time, you will find yourself automatically thinking in a more positive way, and this will help you to manifest your dreams.

• Be specific about what you desire. For example, instead of "I'd like a new house", try "I would love a brand-new red house with a big garden and a blue door. I see myself relaxing in the sunshine in the garden, feeling happy and content". It is the vibrations of your emotions that make the Law of Attraction work.
• Visualise your dreams in detail. If you want something to happen, first create a detailed picture of it in your mind. If you want a new car, picture yourself driving it through the streets, feeling the emotion of driving the car, and getting excited about owning it.
• Ask yourself better questions. For example, instead of "Why am I such a failure?", ask "How can I improve to make myself more successful?". Your unconscious mind will then start to help you find creative ways to be more successful.
• Be kind to yourself. The next time you have a negative thought, ask yourself if anyone who genuinely cares about you would say that. Then, ask yourself what a good friend would say in your defence.
• Write down your negative thoughts and then throw them away. Research by Ohio State University in 2012 showed that this can influence self-image within minutes.
• No one is perfect. The next time you are feeling lonely or doubting your abilities, remind yourself that no one is perfect and that we are all a work in progress.
• You are not defined by your past. You might have faced challenges and heartbreak, but that just means you are stronger as a result. Expect the best from the future and know that you can rewrite your personal script and live the life you want.
• Recognise and record your negative thoughts. Understand what they are about and what has caused them. Then, work through your worries by writing them down. This will help you to understand where they are coming from and how to deal with them.
• Reform your negative thoughts by rewording them. For example, "Everyone here is a stranger, I'm so lonely" can be changed to "I miss my old friends, but I also have the chance to meet many new people here".
• Be grateful. When you practice gratitude, you are infusing your thoughts and feelings with a positive vibrating energy, which helps to manifest more of your desires.

Surround yourself with positive people

The Law of Attraction suggests that you can attract positive or negative things into your life through your thoughts and actions. It is based on the theory that everything is made up of energy, and so the type of energy you put out will come back to you.

According to motivational speaker Jim Rohn, "You are the average of the five people you spend most of your time with". If the premise of the Law of Attraction is that "like attracts like", then it is important to surround yourself with positive people.

• Identify the negative people in your life. These are the people who drain your energy, are negative in their outlook on life, or leave you feeling worse after a conversation. It is important to minimise contact with these people, as they can bring you down and impact your ability to manifest your desires.
• Reflect on whether you are a positive or negative influence on those around you. Are you the person that others dread answering the phone to? Do you tend to gossip or complain? If so, it may be time to work on changing your mindset and becoming more positive in your thoughts and actions.
• Surround yourself with people who make you feel great, uplifted, and energised. These are the people who will support and encourage you to achieve your goals.
• If you are going through challenging times, seek advice and support from positive friends who will uplift and motivate you. However, be mindful of the friends who constantly bring you down with their negativity. While it is important to have a support system during difficult times, constantly surrounding yourself with negative people can impact your own energy and outlook.
• Be the positive influence you want to attract. Be the friend who makes others feel great, who encourages and motivates them to achieve their goals. By being a positive influence in the lives of others, you will attract more positive people into your life.
• Focus on the positive aspects of the people you interact with. Instead of dwelling on their negative qualities, try to find the good in them. Think about their dreams, their tender and sweet parts, what they long for, and what makes them lovable. By focusing on the positive, you can shift your own energy and attract more positivity into your life.
• Practice gratitude for the positive people in your life. Express your appreciation for their presence and the impact they have on you. This will not only strengthen your relationships but also help you attract more positive people and experiences.

By surrounding yourself with positive people and focusing on positivity, you can harness the power of the Law of Attraction to manifest your desires and create the life you want.
