What is the Law of Attraction?
The Law of Attraction is the universal principle that "like attracts like." Your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs emit a vibrational frequency that attracts matching experiences, people, and circumstances into your life.
Popularized by books like "The Secret" and teachers like Abraham Hicks, the Law of Attraction suggests that you are a magnet for your dominant thoughts and emotions. Think positively, feel good, and you attract positive outcomes. Focus on lack and negativity, and you attract more of the same.
"That which is like unto itself is drawn."
The Core Principles
1. Everything is Energy
All matter, including thoughts and emotions, vibrates at specific frequencies. Your personal vibration determines what you attract.
2. Like Attracts Like
Your frequency attracts experiences that match it. High vibrations (joy, love, gratitude) attract positive experiences.
3. You Create Your Reality
You're not a victim of circumstances—you're the creator. Your inner world shapes your outer experience.
How the Law of Attraction Works
Understanding the mechanics of LOA helps you use it more effectively. Here's how the attraction process works:
Step 1: Ask (Set Your Intention)
Get clear on what you want. The universe responds to specificity. Write it down, visualize it, or simply hold a clear intention in your mind. This sends out your "order" to the universe.
Step 2: Believe (Match the Vibration)
Align your thoughts and feelings with already having what you want. Feel the joy, gratitude, and satisfaction as if your desire is already manifested. This raises your vibration to match your desire.
Step 3: Receive (Allow and Take Action)
Release resistance and be open to receiving. Take inspired action when opportunities arise. Trust the timing and don't force the "how." Let the universe orchestrate the details.
Law of Attraction vs Law of Assumption
Both approaches work, but they have different philosophical foundations. Understanding the difference helps you choose what resonates with you—or combine both.
Law of Attraction
- • You attract things to you
- • Focus on raising your vibration
- • Feel good to attract good
- • Universe delivers your desires
- • Emphasis on positive emotions
- • Wait for manifestation to arrive
Law of Assumption
- • You shift to realities
- • Focus on assuming the wish fulfilled
- • Feel the end state as real now
- • You create through imagination
- • Emphasis on faith and persistence
- • You already have it—realize this
Neville Goddard's Law of Assumption says you don't attract something external—you assume a new state and shift into a reality where you already have it. Meanwhile, LOA focuses on raising your vibration to magnetically draw your desires to you.
Can You Use Both?
Absolutely. Many practitioners combine LOA's emphasis on feeling good with Neville's techniques like SATS and visualization. The key is finding what resonates with you and staying consistent.

Common Blocks & Solutions
Block: Focusing on Lack
Problem: Thinking "I don't have money" or "Where is my manifestation?" keeps you in lack vibration.
Solution: Shift focus to abundance. Appreciate what you have. Think about what you WANT, not what you don't have.
Block: Contradictory Beliefs
Problem: Wanting money while believing "rich people are greedy" creates resistance.
Solution: Identify and release limiting beliefs. Replace them with supportive ones.
Block: Impatience
Problem: Constantly checking "Is it here yet?" signals doubt and slows manifestation.
Solution: Trust divine timing. Focus on feeling good NOW, not on when your desire will arrive.
Block: Trying Too Hard
Problem: Forcing, obsessing, and over-efforting creates resistance.
Solution: Relax. LOA works best with ease. Set your intention, do your practices, then let go.
Block: Attachment to "How"
Problem: Insisting manifestation comes a specific way limits possibilities.
Solution: Focus on the WHAT and WHY, not the HOW. Let the universe find the best path.
