It is the LAW of attraction, not the coincidence of attraction!
According to the Law of Attraction, like attracts like. Your predominant thoughts and strong feelings draw similar feeling experiences into your life.
This idea has fascinated me since I was young and noticed how things I thought about often came to pass as I had expected. I have encountered it over and over again in religious and metaphysical writings. Why, then, does it seem that the Law of Attraction fails so often? We all think about and pray for lots of things that we never attract into our lives.
It seems like foolish, magical thinking. But I have experienced enough “coincidences” to believe that the Law of Attraction works as described. I’m sure that you, too, have seen just what you wanted turn up just at the right time in a way that seemed miraculous.
We’ve all known the man who is accident-prone, the woman who always attracts the same kind of men in relationships, or the relative who fails despite being twice as talented as anyone else. These are all examples of people using the Law of Attraction by default. They have created reality according to patterns that they are largely unaware of.
It may seem that the Law of Attraction doesn’t work. After all, who wants to attract accidents, bad relationships or failures? Despite what these people want, they attract experiences according to thoughts and feelings. Some of these thoughts and feelings are so ingrained that they are not noticed. Others lurk in the unconscious. Often we are mystified by how events might arise from our thoughts and feelings
Most programs for using Law of Attraction focus on installing good feelings and beliefs into the unconscious. This is largely unsuccessful. The new feelings dilute rather than delete the unconscious material. So, now you attract a slightly different kind of man, or less severe accidents.
There are methods for clearing out unhelpful programming. These are what will allow you to attract the things you want to experience. When you clear away the repressed stuff, the coherent feelings of your higher self draw experiences that are good for you.

The Universe always says yes! Can you believe it?
The Law of Attraction states that like attracts like. You create your experience based on your overall feeling tone or "vibrations."
The Law is Inclusive. The Universe always says, "Yes." If you are thinking of cute little furry mice or icky little creepy mice, you are thinking of mice. The Universe will bring you...you guessed it!...Mice. Even if you say, "I don't want mice!" You are vibrating in resonance with, yes, mice.
If you don't want to experience mice, turn your attention to something else, like cats!
Many people like to think they can use affirmations to create their experiences. I won't say that you can't use them this way, but that most of us do not.
You may want to affirm, "I have a cat." to create a cat. If your feelings and thoughts are all lined up with cats, this affirmation will work. But if you are affirming, "I have a cat." and thinking, "...but I only want one because of the mice." You may not attract a cat - and may, in fact, attract more mice!
The Law of Attraction will bring you the things you think about. In order for it to bring you the things you want, you must focus your thoughts ONLY on the things you want.
So many times when we think about things we want, we lose focus. You may think something like this: My book is selling. My book is selling. Well, it hasn' t sold yet. I wonder why no one on my mailing list bought one? Maybe it doesn't appeal to anyone and won't sell at all. My book is selling, my book is selling. I can't believe my book isn't selling...
Try this:
Focus only on what you want, for only a minute and a half. This concentrated thought will be far more powerful than a half hour of visualizations and affirmations interspersed with negative thoughts.

Creating Abundance
Welcome to the CREATING ABUNDANCE blog!
I have studied and experimented with approaches to the Law of Attraction for years. I could have a PhD in the subject if there were such a thing.
Many sources of information about "the secret" are incomplete, or fail to stress the most important changes you need to make to get good results (You always get results, but they're not always what you expect!)
I have discovered the methods that can help you create experiences you desire with the Law of Attraction. I can point you to the resources that are most helpful and offer tips on how the Law works.
The most complete learning is from example, so I will provide success stories about those who have used the Law of Attraction to have a better life. Then, you can see what it feels like to apply the principles everyone is teaching these days.
