Applying the Law of Attraction to Your Business!!

It is said that the law of attraction has its roots in Buddhism. Others say that it's about Karma. But it need not be a religion - it can simply be a way of thinking and, ultimately, living. And I know to me, I'm Catholic, but will admit I'm not the most practising one, Law of Attraction is in no way affiliated to religion. It is of course a spiritual law, a universal one. Again even the word spiritual used to really put me off as I considered it just another term for religion. But it can mean what you want it to mean to you. Regardless of connotation it has for you, the Law of Attraction is always at play whether you believe in it or not.

Basically, the law of attraction says that what you visualise in your mind (therefore the thoughts you create) with emotion can become a reality. Because we so often hear our thoughts create our reality, but thoughts without the emotional charge behind them, the feelings they generate are simply just thoughts. Thoughts generate feelings and it is these feelings and the intensity of them that creates our vibration which we send out into the Big U like little wave lengths, like ET phoning home. It is this vibration that we send back which then brings back to us what we are a vibrational match with. Obviously there's more to it and lots of other laws involved like Law of Vibration, Law of Oneness, Law of Manifestation and Magnetism, because Law of Attraction despite being the most commonly known and talked about, is only a secondary law. But enough about that, that's for a whole other topic someday.

I digress!

By believing that you are present in your thoughts and feelings, you are said to "attract" those things you desire by thinking of them and having strong feelings about them. When you tap into the law of attraction, you visualise yourself in the place you want to be. 

According to the law, you will attract back to you, or into your life, the necessary things for those wants to manifest in real life. You are said to attract those things on which you focus your energy, hence the popular phrase 'where focus goes, energy flows'. It's sort of like ordering something out of a catalogue, with the store being the Universe.

How can this law be applied to your business? Here are some ideas.

What Do You Want?

Determining just what it is that you want is the basic beginning of applying the law of attraction. After all, you can't visualise your dreams if you don't know what they are. So, it's a good idea to begin by being quite specific about what you want from your business. 

Visualise

Visualisation is said to help in creating your personal "vibration." The law of attraction is said to respond to this vibration, again this is the whole host of Universal Laws at play, all working through and with each other in tandem. Every day, try envisioning yourself as successful in your business. Try to make the visualisations specific - e.g. you receive a phone call; you join with a powerful business partner; you find 100 new clients. Spend time each day with these thoughts in the forefront of your mind. 

Imagine that you have already achieved what you want. This is said to heighten your awareness to the opportunities you will begin to attract. You must think of it as already being yours.

Believe It's Yours

The law of attraction says you need to accept those things that come your way as a result of your attraction. Like any belief, you need to overcome doubt and trust that you will, in fact, attract what you want. If you want to sell more of your product or service, for instance, believe it can happen. As you visualise, move into trust. Accept that these business goals and achievements are yours. You've visualised it, you've declared it now you are claiming it as yours, done deal, you are just waiting for the physical world to catch up.

Another element of believing it's yours is to cultivate a healthy sense that you deserve these accomplishments and dreams. If you continue to think you're not worthy, it could affect the vibration you send out, and attract negative attention to your business. If you are having a hard time with this one, simply ask yourself why not you? If someone else can, why can't you, what makes them so different, and why not now!

Be Careful of Negative Thoughts

The law of attraction means you attract those things you focus on, so it may be that unknowingly you are focusing more on the lack of having something than the actual having it, coming from a scarcity mindset rather than one of abundance. So in its simplest terms it is said if you attract negative things, it is due to a negative vibration you sent out. This is because you can only attract into your life, whether it be money, clients, better health, relationships or what not, what you are a vibrational match for. The things you want in life are all high vibrational things I am assuming as no-one ever really wants bad things in their life. If you are always thinking the worst, in a bad mood etc then you are emitting a low vibration, you can not under any circumstance attract good things when you are putting out such a low vibration. Even in science, it just doesn't work that way. Like attracts like. So if you want to attract these high vibrational things, you need to putting out a high vibe to match, so be careful of your thinking and aim for those high vibe emotions like love, joy, gratitude.

The little catch 22 is that the law of attraction applies to bad things as well, in other words, if it works to bring us all these good things we desire, then it can of course work against us if we don't work with it. So it is said that you should make sure to keep it positive so that you do not attract business failure or frustration. And learn to work in harmony with this Law rather than resist it.
