The Skinny on The Law of Attraction
- Details
- Written by Julia Thorne

Attraction work can feel like a game of stuck in the mud sometimes, it’s hard to reflect in those moments of being grounded solid and see the strides made, but progress happens! Right when you feel like you cannot be stuck in the mud any longer, the universe comes along and frees you to sprint off into a new direction, making strides in the attraction work.
It is a dance though, between attraction, fate and free will. You must put out the vibe you want to bring in, not to mention the importance of “right timing” to bring it into manifestation. And even when it is brought to you physically, it’s not your entire wish exactly as you envisioned it, delivered to your door wrapped with a pretty bow; it is manifested as a choice. The Universe says “oh, do you want THIS?”; it is up to you to respond a clear yes or no. How do you respond when the almighty source of love and energy gives YOU the choice? With your actions; you respond by the steps you make in response to the manifested choice.
I think that’s the common misconception with the law of attraction. The idea seems to be that if you think about exactly what you want hard and long enough, then it will pop up right in front of you. Unfortunately (fortunately?) it is a bit more complicated than that.
Firstly, it’s not enough to mentally envision what you want. That’s a good first step, but source does not respond to thoughts, source responds to the feelings we attach to our thoughts, and the physical actions we do or don’t take. You must feel it in your body, that feeling of gratitude for your desire ALREADY occurring and being brought into your life. That’s where the mental image of what you want is helpful, as it can conjure up those feelings of gratitude and excitement. Emotionally behaving as though you already have everything exactly as you want it is key; it’s also probably the hardest part of the entire process. Once you find that feeling, and you can hold it in your emotional body, it’s a matter of persistence and attention. Continuously seek out that emotional state, let it fill your vibrational body, hold it within your aura as long and as intensely as possible. Tweak the vision or desire as life requires and make any adjustments that come from your heart. And then? Pay attention!
As time passes, and you keep doing that emotional attraction work, the Universe will start to respond. Most likely your manifestation will not happen instantly (but it could!) or be brought to you in its entirety after your first visualization. If your journey is anything like mine, a slew of clarifying pokes from the universe will be the first signs that land is near. Synchronicities, coincidences in everyday life - that you would otherwise miss if you aren’t paying attention - show up; they all seem to somehow relate to your desire and remind you of what you want.
When these little moments pop up, it is SO IMPORTANT to fully and consciously recognize these little gifts from the universe and feel immense gratitude for them. It is evidence that source is listening and feeling you out. Are you paying attention? Is this along the lines of what you want? Acknowledging the coincidences and shouting your “Thank You!”s from the heart, letting your whole self fill with gratitude emphasizes what you want, it nudges the universe along in the right direction.
Keep paying attention, keep filling your emotional body with that desired emotion, keep overflowing with gratitude. Next thing you know you and your (newly manifested) summer romance are catching a flight to lay on a beach in Europe!
