Manifestation & The Law of Attraction - How does it work?

In this post I want to give you an introduction to Manifestation and the Law of Attraction. This is something that has absolutely changed the way I view my reality and made me understand the power of my own thoughts. There is so much to tell about this subject and I am so excited to share this with you. But to make things less overwhelming, I’ll start slow and only touch on the basics today. And don’t worry, I will definitely do more posts about this subject in the future and dive a little deeper into the practices. If you have any questions after reading this post, leave them in the comments below and I would love to see if I am able to answer them for you.

Manifestation 101

To understand manifestation, it is vital to understand that everything around us is Energy. Everything is literally vibrating with different energies, it is always flowing and changing. The vibration of energy can not be seen, but it can be felt!

It is the same vibration that you would call “good vibes” or “bad vibes”. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that you are able to feel the energy of others and others are able to feel yours. Even when you are not in the same room with them. Just close your eyes and think of the first person that pops into your mind. You can now feel their energy, just by thinking of them. This shows that we are all connected by energy on a higher level.

So, what is so amazing, is that with every thought you think, every word you say, every action you take etc… you are creating your own vibration, you own energy. And that is super important to know if you want to start manifesting. Because:

Manifestation = becoming a vibrational match with the outcome you want to attract.

To clarify this with the most common example: You can’t manifest money (“abundance”) when you are sending out vibrations of the lack of it (“scarcity”). Why not? Because that is the Law of Attraction.

Law of Attraction 101

The Law of Attraction is a Universal law, just like Gravity. It says that whatever goes out, must come back (energetically). So if you are sending out vibrations of scarcity, you will receive scarcity. It is impossible for abundance to flow into your life. You can only welcome abundance into your life when you are sending out vibrations of abundance. In other words: when you are a vibrational match with what you want to attract.

But how exactly do you send out vibrations of abundance when you don’t feel abundant yet? That is the big paradox of manifestation. You will have to find a way to feel what you want to attract, as if it is already here, in order to receive it. Because the Universe does not communicate through words, it communicates through feelings. This basically means that mainly your feelings are sending out the vibrations that will come back to you. That is why there are so many manifestation “tools” available that you can use. You can visualise, meditate, journal, express gratitude, use affirmations etc etc. These tools will help you to tap into the reality where your manifestation already exists and can help you to actually feel it.

Unconscious patterns

So as if feeling something that is not here yet isn’t already hard enough, do you remember when I told you that with every thought we think and word we say, we are also sending out vibrations? The thing is that a lot of these thoughts and words are thought and said unconsciously, and we first have to become conscious of them before we are able to change them. So let’s take the example of wanting to manifest more money again. You will need to become conscious of the thoughts you are thinking around this subject and the story you are telling yourself and others. If you pay attention to this, I am sure you will catch yourself in the act of sending out vibrations that are not a match for what you want to attract. Maybe you are telling someone you have to “dial down the spending”, with the Christmas months coming up. Or when you see something in a store, you quickly talk yourself out of buying it because this voice in your head says “you can’t afford it”. These words and thoughts all come from a place of lack. They vibrate scarcity.

It is time to reframe these thoughts. It doesn’t matter if you actually can’t afford these items at the time. But instead of telling yourself: “I can’t afford this” try to tell yourself “I am so grateful for the moment I will be able to afford this item, I can’t wait!”. This way, you are not lying to yourself and the energy behind it is soooo different. The first thought is vibrating scarcity, the second is vibrating abundance. Because don’t forget, abundance is not only money, expressing gratitude for something is also very abundant! And if you want to take it to a higher level, try feeling that future and the joy you will experience when you are able to buy this item… as if it is already here. Are the puzzle pieces falling together already?

Playing with Manifestation

So to end this blogpost I would like to support you to try these techniques. Start playing with consciously manifesting. Get clear on what you want to manifest (if you are just beginning I suggest starting small and work your way up) and focus on aligning your words, thoughts and feelings on this reality.

But remember!
One of the biggest misconceptions is that you have to send out these positive feelings, words and thoughts all the time. This is not true. We are all human and all have ups and downs. You can’t be “high vibe” all the time. So don’t judge yourself for thinking negative, feeling down or anything else that you think will affect your manifestation. Feeling these emotions is actually far more helpful than pushing them away. I just want you to know that you only have to tip the scale. Don’t even try to strive for 100%, that is impossible. Tipping the scale means that with only 51% of sending out the same vibrations as your desire, you are able to manifest! Because this vibration is now your dominant vibration.

Good luck!
