If you're dedicated to your personal growth you have probably run across the phrase, "Law of Attraction". It's been written about in books, old and new, and is the main focus of the hit movie, The Secret.
I have to admit, I love this topic but for a long time I was utterly confused about how to make the Law of Attraction work for me. The concepts seemed so intangible I had a hard time grabbing hold of what exactly I could do to unleash the Law of Attraction in my own life.
But like anything you look at for awhile, the pieces suddenly started making sense, and I found the intangible was really quite tangible. I also noticed how natural it is to use the Law of Attraction. In fact, we use it all day long! However, many people still aren't attracting what they really want, maybe even you. That's because the Law of Attraction is generated by two things: thoughts and feelings, and for many their thoughts and feelings feel beyond their control.
A Law of Nature
The Law of Attraction can simply be described as Like Attracts Like. "Like" what? Like energy. In other words, like energy attracts like energy. This can be proven scientifically, but I won't go into the details of how this works. It just works.
Consider the Law of Gravity ďż˝ you know this is a law of nature, but you don't need to know how it works on a scientific level because you can see for yourself how it works. Gravity holds us to the earth. If you let go of a ball, it's going to drop.
How can you see how the Law of Attraction works in your life? Take a look around you. Everything you have in your life right now is the result of the Law of Attraction. Everything in your life you've attracted. And you've attracted it to you through your thoughts and feelings.
Not always easy to accept
I know this can be hard to accept. It's hard to accept because we are a world that has been taught things happen "to us" and that many things are "beyond our control". And yet, if you analyze why you have the life you have, and you're completely honest about why you have it, you will see a pattern. That pattern will show you that everything you have in your adult life is a reflection of what you think and feel, the majority of the time.
Using the Law of Attraction consciously may require a shift in your belief system. A shift from, "look what's happened to me", to "now that I'm an adult, I create my own life experiences". Once that shift is made you become the conscious creator of your life. You have taken 100% responsibility for your life and what you create in it. YOU are in the driver's seat, and that's a very good place to be. This shift in perspective is empowering. That's because, if you are the creator of your life, you can take full responsibility for the good things that happen to you and the bad things that happen to you. This is a powerful place from which to live your life. If you can take responsibility for the bad, you gain the power to change what you don't like. On the other hand, if you don't/can't take responsibility for the bad, you will remain a victim of your circumstances and have a very hard time creating the life you most want.
We are spiritual beings, having a human experience
I once heard it said we are spiritual beings having a human experience. Being human can be hard. Bad things happen to good people all the time. People get sick, lose jobs, get divorced, lose people they love, fight with each other, and the list goes on. I like to look at challenging life experiences this way: every life experience gives us a gift and that is to help us grow into our full potential.
It still may be hard to accept the Law of Attraction when you think of children who have been abused or victims of hateful crimes. Unfortunately, we cannot see the divine purpose to these kinds of events. I just know as adults we come into our own and have the power to choose how we look at life and our experiences ďż˝ past and present.
As adults we have the power to choose what happens to us today, and in the future. We have the power to choose what kind of life we live. Bad things may have happened to us when we were children, but we are no longer children, we are adults with choices to make about how we wish to live our lives.
Law of Attraction 101
The Law of Attraction does much more than help you manifest the "things" you want. Yes, you can use it to manifest a new car, but you can also use it to heal yourself, find the love of your life, and so much more. The Law of Attraction is a law of nature that shapes your life. You can personally work with this power to create the life you want. It is powerful and it is always at your disposal. You can't escape its power; it is working in your life at all times.
The Law of Attraction is activated by your thoughts and your feelings. Everything in the world is made of energy, including your thoughts and feelings. When you have a thought or feeling you send out an energetic vibration. Because the Law of Attraction tells us what you send out comes back, you will attract back to you things of similar vibrational energy. Like Attracts Like.
Here's another way to look at it ďż˝ The Law of Attraction makes you a very powerful MAGNET.
Your negative thoughts, attract negative thoughts. Your positive thoughts, attract positive thoughts. Your discontent, attracts more discontent. Your joy, attracts more joy. What you attract will always mirror what you put forth. That is how you can see the Law of Attraction working in your life; just look around at what you've attracted. Do you like what you see?
Next week, I'll show you how you can leverage the Law of Attraction in your life to create the life you really want.

My Inner Compass NLP Training Experience
Have you ever been on a roller coaster? The thing with roller coasters is the multitude of emotional experiences they provide and how very quickly you can move from one emotion into another. This is perhaps one of the analogies I could use to describe the experiences I had as a result of training in NLP Practitioner, NLP Master Practitioner and NLP Trainers Training with Inner Compass.
My journey began in the Summer of 2005. I had heard of Inner Compass through a friend who had told me “there’s this bloke called Andy Harrington whose got a bigger fire walk than Tony Robbins.” Not many people can claim to having anything bigger than Tony Robbins, after all, he’s a big guy, so intrigued, I looked him up on the internet and signed up for a free NLP event with his company Inner Compass.
I was impressed with the free event. Harrington used clean stage anchors and a lot of suggestive language when selling his product and I admired the certainty with which he did it. I wasn’t there though, to get roped into a “breakthough” weekend. I was there to sign up for NLP training. So at the end of the event I went up to him to ask him about it.
It seemed he’d over estimated his own sales skills. After 10 minutes of trying to convince me that I’d learn more about NLP after I’d signed up for his “breakthrough weekend,” I walked out.
I had a call from one of his sales guys within a couple of days. It took him a further 2 phone calls and around an hour and 15 minutes of discussion about why their NLP was better that the McKenna/ Bandler training to convince me to part with a couple of thousand pounds.
Was it well spent? Well I think that there are trainings that probably matched up to their standard of training for maybe a grand less, but with Inner Compass you wasn’t just buying the NLP knowledge, you were buying into the whole showbiz experience, the hugs with smelly strangers, to be part of “their family” and part of the magic.
And mostly it was a magical experience. I learnt a lot and felt comfortable and confident about what I had learned. I made many wonderful friends and even worked through some of my own bad stuff that I’d been holding onto. I had gone there with the intention of getting the qualifications so that I could expand my hypnotherapy business. I ended up deciding that my vocation was being up there on stage, teaching the stuff instead. Trust me, this wasn’t a whimsical decision, I used to love being on stage as a child and had for the past 4 years been taking exams in musical theatre. I am passionate about Hypnotherapy and NLP and I rather like money too. So it seemed like the right way forward.
Generally unconventional, I then didn’t follow the Master Practitioner, Trainers Training route due to a singing exam that fell at the same time as the next scheduled Master Practitioner training with Inner Compass. This meant that I would do Trainers Training first, followed by Master Practitioner and then The 8 hour exam to pass Trainers Training. And that’s exactly the way it happened. I surprised myself on Trainers Training by keeping up with the majority of other delegates who were already Master Practitioners, and I think I surprised some of them too.
Master Practitioner was less engaging, perhaps because some of the cracks in Inner Compass as a company, were beginning to show, or perhaps because Trainers Training had been so tough, that Master Practitioner at times verged on too easy. Still travelling into central London for 12 long days solid was exhausting in itself, and the very next day after it finished, was the 8 hour Trainers Training exam. Which I completed in 4 hours.
Overall I’m glad of the experience I had, I’m glad it was with Inner Compass. At the end of every course, there was always a sense of nostalgia as we all said goodbye to each other. Such a shame that now we are saying goodbye to an institution of such great love and magic forever.
