Law of Attraction, Love and How to Manifest it

With the rise in popularity in books like The Secret, the idea of positive thinking and manifesting your desires has become an increasingly popular trend. And when it comes to relationships, this mindset has become a hot topic. If you’re wondering how to apply the law of attraction, love, and how to make sense of it all, EliteSingles explores the ins and outs attracting your dream partner.

What is the Law of Attraction: Love, and How it Works

The law of attraction is a universal principle that can be applied to all areas of your life, including relationships, which proposes that like attracts like. The law of attraction principal is simply that you attract what you are. It also suggests you can create and manifest outcomes with your thoughts, focus and energy.

Based on a few key ideas, many people have shared remarkable success stories applying the law of attraction in their lives. You don’t need to be a deeply spiritual person to engage in these principles which encourage a healthy mental attitude, a closer connection with your own dreams, and the confidence to go after them. Everyone can learn from the law of attraction!

If you’re stuck and want to use the law of attraction to manifest love in your life, the present moment is always the best time, and where you are right now, the best place to begin. Starting off, you need to change your reality and perception to experience a change in your life. As Einstein famously said, it’s insanity to do the same thing over and over and expect different results.

The general principal proposes that when you release the stumbling blocks that are causing resistance in your life, you can move forward and create the reality you desire. If you’re focusing on what you don’t have, you create an energy of lack and negativity. Conversely, shifting to a space of gratitude and abundance, you can attract positive energy into your life. The first step is moving your focus from what you don’t have, to what you desire to become a reality.

Using the law of attraction also facilitates an important psychological concept, shifting from an external to an internal locus of control, moving from the belief that things happen to you to realising you can influence the outcomes in your life and aren’t powerless to circumstance. Part of harnessing the power of the law of attraction is realizing you are in control of your own life, and proactively taking steps to manifest the love and relationship you desire.

Many celebrities have espoused the virtues of using this mindset. Will Smith, Jim Carrey and even Jay Z have all used visualization, intention and belief to achieve their success. Oprah Winfrey, a firm believer in the law of attraction said, “the way you think creates reality for yourself”. So how do you go about using this mindset to attract love into your life?

Using the Law of Attraction: Love and Manifesting Relationships

If you want to know how to manifest love, you first have to learn how to use the principles of the law of attraction in relationships. Using these steps, you can get yourself ready for a magnificent and enduring relationship, become emotionally open and let go of any emotional baggage from previous relationships that may be holding you back.

There could be several reasons that you don’t already have the love and relationship you want in your life. Negative subconscious beliefs are often a major blocker to happiness. Be honest with yourself and consider whether you’re willing to trust someone with your heart? Do you believe you’re worthy of a great relationship or are you trying to protect yourself from getting hurt again?

A big step in creating a new relationship is being honest about your own beliefs and working to get in touch with your own feelings. Good techniques to understand your beliefs and blockers are journaling and meditation. As a kickoff point, acknowledging where you currently at is the best way to start.

The 5 Laws of Attraction: Love and the Basic Foundation

Moving forward, you can apply these 5 laws of attraction to start manifesting love and a wonderful relationship in your life. Not only do they align with the law of attraction, but they are also helpful psychological techniques for being the best version of yourself and experiencing the rewarding life you deserve.

1. Set your intentions

Make a clear statement to yourself that you are ready and open for a relationship. Clarify your intention clearly – writing out a statement of intent is a useful way of doing this. Find the phrase that fits your own personal intention, but a statement such as “I’m ready for love in my life and open my heart to meet my partner” is an easy way to illuminate your intention. You can regularly repeat your stated intention to yourself to cement it in your conscious and subconscious.

2. Visualize your ideal partner

To manifest love and your dream partner in your life, you need to be clear about what your ideal partner actually looks like. Breaking down what is important can help you visualize your perfect partner. Write down what the most important traits and values that you want in a partner are. What are the goals you want in your relationship and what words would you use to describe your ideal partner?

Use these clear guidelines to create a detailed image of your dream partner and use the description to clearly visualize him or her. However, also remember to stay open to the mystery of love and keep in mind, no one is perfect!

3. Be the person you want in your life

Like attracts like – put out into the universe the energy you want to attract! When you consider the traits that are important to you in a partner, consider how you can foster them in your own life. If kindness is important, focus on being more kind yourself, if a sense of adventure is attractive, get out there and go on an adventure yourself. This not only attracts similar energies but also puts you in the right environments to meet your match.

Putting yourself out there to meet someone with shared interests or priorities allows you to grow yourself and opens the door wider to meeting that special someone.

4. Acknowledge and challenge your stumbling blocks

Often your biggest limitation can be your own doing! Conscious and unconscious limiting beliefs can create barriers to achieving what you long for. Beliefs such as ‘no one will ever love me’ or ‘I can’t trust the person I love’ can stand in the way of your own happiness. Connecting with yourself to examine what your beliefs are and doing the work to shift into a positive mindset opens the door for your own happiness.

Also, watch out for negative thinking and actively focus on seeing the positive side. A useful approach to overcome stumbling blocks is to identify them by writing them down and turning the thought into a positive, like ‘I deserve to be loved’, and then using it as a daily affirmation.

5. Be a source of love yourself

Attract love into your life by becoming a source of it yourself! If you want to manifest love, a healthy shift for your own well-being and confidence is to invite more love into your own life. Based on the law of attraction, actively working to grow your own self-love and nurturing your relationships expands the quality of your connections in your life.

Loving yourself and others prepares you to be in a healthy and happy place to meet the love of your life! Share the love you have in your heart and watch it come back to you.
