One of the most common questions I get asked about the Law of Attraction is how well it works for different things in life. Can you manifest a car? A spouse? A million dollars? The short answer to this is “Yes, you can absolutely manifest all those things and more.”

Then why is it, I hear you asking that not many people seem to be good at creating their perfect scenario on life and the vast majority seem to be chasing a dream that eludes them forever?

And there is an answer for that, too. The Law of attraction always works, no matter what. The wishing well of the universe is always on, so there is no time or instance in which it doesn’t work. That being said, most of us are not deliberately living our lives, because we keep unconsciously recreating the same stuff over and over.

How then do we actually know if we are a vibrational match to attract what we really want? That’s the easy part. If you had the right vibration to attract money, that money would be available to you right now. If you had the right vibration to attract a car of your dreams, that car would be in your driveway today.

The key is to observe this before we endavour on any new manifesting sprees, because without that clarity of our present capabilities we will keep spinning our wheels for a long time to come.

Most of you have probably heard by now that the Law of attraction brings to us what we send out with our vibrational frequency. It does so by matching up what we send out and returning to us in kind exactly what we ask for with out state of being.

This is very powerful and also very useful if we can activate it to meet and fulfill what we desire to have in our life. If we ask for money from a state of vibration that comes from a joy of feeling abundant and enjoying to spend money to enhance our state of being futher, more money and opportunity for financial abundance will come to us - guaranteed.

If however, we ask for money from a state of lack and not having money, the universe will in turn respond just as swiftly by sending us exactly what we asked for subconsciously with our being. It will bring to us more lack and more troubles in channeling money opportunities into our life.

So what are we to do if we would like to receive money but have little to start the process and thus have no real experience what it feels like to be wealthy? It’s easy and I’ll give you a quick tip on how to overcome that issue.

You will be reminded of struggle and lack as long as you are surrounding yourself with an atmosphere and people that radiate that energy and thus amplify the problem. Likewise you will soak up the energy and attract the opportunities of wealth when you are surrounded by an environment of wealthy people. So, said differently - you need to be where the rich are. This is also why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. It all comes down to your thinking and who you surround yourslef with.

If you are in a big city, find the best hotel. Usually you can find a Four Seasons or a Ritz - Carlton or even a Shangrila or Mandarin Oriental. Likewise you may substitute a fine restaurant if you cannot find a hotel. Next put on a good suit or some fine clothing and go to that place for a coffee, snack or a meal. The key is not the amount of money you spend but to practise being at ease in that environment.

I always seek out the best place I can find on a trip or even at home for an occasional cocktail or meal. It won’t break the bank to do that once a month maybe and you will get a feel for the energy at such a place. It’s a very condusive energy to create more abundance and money in your life because it sort of fast forwards your situation the minute you feel part of the crowd.

I’ll leave you with a quick story from my grandfather who taught me about investing and money whan I was about 10 years old. He lived in a city where a very large publicly traded petro-chemical company (BASF) had it’s headquarters. So, as soon as he could afford to buy shares, he went and bought 1 share of this entity. In Germany, this gets you an invitation to the annual meeting as well as a token for a hot dog and the right to vote. His rationale was simple but had long lasting effects. He said to me:” I can get a free hot dog every year and a beverage at their annual meeting. And what is even more important, I get a free ticket to hang out with billionaires and millionaires from all over the world for a day. And that is worth the shareprice to me.”

Turns out he was right, because the company has grown about 500% since he taught me that lesson.

Go and have fun with this, I cannot think of an easier way to alogn myself with the vibrational frequency of the rich!

Most people I meet have a difficult time getting started with anything new. I have always wondered why that is?

Likely, it has to do with the way we humans tend to think because we love to refer to the past and look forward to the future. And herein lies the major struggle. Neither the past nor the future can help in making the present a better place.

Surely, you have heard the famous saying once or twice: “Yesterday is History, Tomorrow still a Mystery, but Today is a Gift - that is why we call it the Present!”

Beyond the surface of this beautiful proverb is much more than meets the eye when we read it. It brings out the essence of human struggle in a mere few words. We tend to try and live in a time that actually doesn’t exist and then wonder why it isn’t working for us.

We cannot live in the past because all we have is a faint memory of what was, and if you are truly looking at the construct of time and space that humanity has built for itself, you would find out that all memory of the past is heavily influenced by the subjective reality of its observer.

We also cannot live in the future, because no matter how hard we try, things take their time to come to us, and so even if we want it to be tomorrow right now, that wouldn’t yield much success.

Instead of resorting to the common thinking of:” When I have X, I will be happy, or when Y happens I will feel good” we must thus find a more productive way to deal with getting what we want. I am offering a simple solution to help you get there fast and with little effort.

Change your story from the one you are telling now

If I sat down with you today, and asked you to tell me about your life, what would you tell me? About how great everything is, and how you have an abundance of money and friends and love in your life? Or would you tell me about how high the price of groceries has risen, and how gas prices m ake it more costly for you to commute now?

Most people fall into the latter category and that is why they have a lot more negative experiences coming their way. The Law of attraction is an absolute law, one that always works and one that always give us what we want.

I can hear you say now that this is simply not true, because you have been wanting that new car, bigger house, more money or better job for so long now and still it has not shown up. Instead you are being dealt pretty much the same things that you have had for all your life now. Mediocre outcomes…

In essence the law of attraction reads like this: “It will draw like to like, and bring together those things that attract one another.” Think of it like a magnet.

Now here is the catch in the example above. The Law of attraction responds to the vibrational message you are sending out, rather than what you may say with words. So if you say that you are wealthy, but deep inside you are coming from a place of poverty, or a feeling of lack, then the law of attraction will respond in kind and send you what you asked for - more poverty and more lack of money.

This sounds really unfair at first, but if you let that concept sink in for a little bit, it actually turns out to be a truly fair one. Everybody on earth always gets what they ask for.

It’s a grand concept with major implications. You can basically start right away to break with your past of lack or problems and get yourself to a feeling of abundance which in turn will quuickly create more abundance coming to you.

Here is how you can do that:

1) Find out what you want don’t want in life

2) Rewrite these statements in a positive way to get to what you DO want in life

3) Change the story you tell about yourself

Example: 1) “I don’t want to have credit card debt all the time.”

this statement becomes 2)” I now have more than enough money to pay for everything I want in life.”

and then you combiine this with other statements that you have arrived at to form your “New” story about yourself.

The beginning of your story could go something like this: ” I feel secure in knowing that I always have more than enough money to live the lifestyle I desire and I can create abundance in every area of my life. Good things are flowing to me at all times and they come ot me easily and effortlessly because I deserve them…”

Now this is only a story at first, and because it is your uniques story, I would advise you to guard it well and share it with nobody. Instead, repeat it often to yourself and monitor how you feel when you are saying of thinking it. If you feel good inside that means you have reached a point of alignment with your spirit and it is a very powerful point from which to activate the law of attraction.

Then you only have to do one more step which is practise and hold that feeling as often as you can. Here is a little trick that helps you “trick” your mind into felling alligned with your spirit more easily.

If you are a visual person that should work extremely well: Take a frontpage from your favorite newspaper and scan it into your computer. Then use photoshop to re-create the front page for yourself. Let’s say you had the dream of being a millionaire with your small business. What you do is take a picture of yourself and suiperimpose that on the cover photo. Then think of a headline you would love to have written about you.

The end result could be something like the New York Times cover with your smiling face on the fron cover and a headline reading: “Local ice cream entrepreneur creates million dollar business from secret family recipy for authentic Italian gelato.”

Then you print out that copy and pin it on the wall where you can see it everyday. This is the day you have started to turn your life from mediocre to phenomenal and the Law of Attraction will respond by giving you what you asked for.

And remember: Infinite patience produces immediate results !

See you at the top, have fun creating your perfect life…

Let me tell you a little story about a problem I have been having: The last car I bought was a lovely VW Golf back in ‘99 , and although I adore that car and it may very well be built to last forever, I starting feeling the need for a newer car.

That said I have been browsing websites, papers and have visited at least three dozen car dealerships in search for the right fight. To no avail. For about two years I managed to procrastinate and simply told myself that surely this time was the last repair I was going to pay for before I would sell or trade in my VW. It got so bad at one point that a good friend of mine even told me the last few repair bills were higher than the actual value of the vehicle.

I thought I was doing great with my half-hearted search efforts mainly because I managed to keep myself busy instead of actually moving towards my intended new car. Enough is enough, something had to change. But what was I doing wrong. Having read and applied a few rules of setting a clear intention and then simply letting go of the outcome while fully trusting that the results would be there I surrendered to the basic principles of the Law of Attraction.

The missing element was clearly the fact that I had no clarity in my intentions on what I was really looking for. Simply having the idea in my head that one day I was going to buy a car that would be the perfect fit in every way was not enough to set the wheels of the universe in motion.

So, here is the list I made for myself regarding the car I intended to find:

 2003 Model or newer

Toyota Corolla, Matrix or RAV4

75,000 km or less

A/C is a must have

no silver, red or green car

single owner

local car

no ex-rental vehicle

no accidents

$ 12,000 or less

Being very proud of my list, I lokked at it a few more minutes on the Thursday I wrote it and then simply folded it and put it into my desk drawer. The very next Saturday, I set out to find my perfect car in one day of shopping. For those of you that didn’t yet read my ‘About’ page, I am German and we tend to take cars very seriously.

My girlfriend and I drove to about three dealerships without any convincing leads and the day was moving by quickly. Then we stopped by another seller only to find out that all they sell for used cars are vehicles with accidents that have been fixed up to look good as new. Getting slightly frustrated I wanted to try one more lot, but they were hard to find and so we ended up parking in an adjacent car lot instead. The sales guy was about ready to pack up for the day, but decided to speak to us anyways.

And that was a good move…

In the back of his lot, hidden behind countless other cars was a white Corolla that looked as good as new from where we stood. So Iasked about my must have’s and it turns out the car made the cut. After a short test drive and a look under the hood, I took only about 15 minutes total to buy this car, get it insured and drive home with it. We were obviously happy to have found something that day, but the true realisation hit me the next day when I cleaned up my desk drawer.

Here I had the original list of the intentions I had communicated to my subconscious mind and as I went through it I couldn’t help but feel overhwhelmed by the accuracy of its manifestation:

We had bought a

2003

Toyota Corolla

70,500 km

with A/C

in white

from a single owner

local to our province

it was not an ex-rental

accident free

for $10,000

Imagine that without me even looking at that list while we were shopping or consulting it after the initial time I had written it. Now that was truly amazing.

The lesson here is as simple as it is profound - Never underestimate the magic of clarity ! It changes everything when you get clear on what you want and then simply set it and forget it. (At least consciously).

So next time you are getting to a point of frustration with anything in life:

Take a piece of paper, get clear and then let the universe handle the rest. It may take you more than one Saturday to manifest what you intend for, but I am here to tell you it works every time and always delivers.

You may have already heard that whatever you focus on expands. While that statement is certainly true from my own experience, simply having a rough idea what you want to achieve may not be clear enough to get you the desired results.

Especially when you are tapping into the Law of Attraction tool set, it may be wise to take the following approach: When you set a goal it’s usually only including one of two possible outcomes. If I were to use a sports analogy for soccer, you can only either miss the goal or score one. With manifestation there are actually a multitude of outcomes possible and most of the time the outcome looks nothing like our mind initially imagines it.

If you set the goal of making $10,000 next month because you are currently only making $3,000 and once the month is up you only found yourself having $ 6000 in your bank account, you would have to admit that you missed your goal by a wide shot.

Now if you had set an intention to make significantly more money next month than last month and you found yourself with $ 6000,- at the end of that month, most people would agree that your intention is actually working. Intentions are more like a direction forwrd rather than a specific road that you are willing to take. Meaning, that setting an intention will help you allow for more flow and less restrictions on how the universe can serve you.

A law, by definition, always works for you no matter what, but it doesn’t always work the same way for everybody who applies it. Thus, leaving the universe the flexibilty to give you what you asked for but in a form and measure that you have little choice over is one of the great keys to seeing the magic of Intention- Manifestation at work.

If you would like more in depth info on this subject there are plenty of good books out there to read, and I can warmly recommend the title ‘Creative Visualization’ by Shakti Gawain. It answered a lot of questions I had and will put you on a step by step path to harness the power of conscious intention setting for you with a bit of persistence and practise.
