How to Use the Law of Attraction the 6 Steps to Manifestation- Step 2 of 6: Set Forth Your Intention

In the first article in this series on how to use the Law of Attraction, we discussed the importance of feeling good in relation to your ability to manifest. We discussed specific, practical tools you can utilize to experience more joy on a consistent basis. Now that you are feeling good, let’s go to step 2 in the manifestation process.

Step 2: Set Forth Your INTENTION.

To successfully use the Law of Attraction you must get clear on what you want. We live in an existence where we truly can have anything we want. Your main ‘job’ is to decide what you want and focus on it! Consider that over 90% of manifestation occurs in the declaration. So decide what you want and ask for it.
In the first step we discussed creating a list of the 10 things you are grateful for. Now, add the top 10 intentions you have in your life. These intentions can include things like:

• the state of being you desire (I intend to feel good, to live in a state of unconditional love, to be happy, to laugh and smile all day long, to be unattached, to have eternal patience, to have fun)





• the health you desire (I intend perfect health and my ideal body, to wake up with great energy, to lose 10 pounds within 30 days)





• the mindset you want (I intend to think empowering thoughts all the time, to be in the moment, to be present)





• the spiritual desires you have (I intend to be completely connected to my creator or the universe, to be conscious all day)





• the material things you desire (I intend to attract $20,000 in the next 30 days, a black Mercedes convertible, my dream home with an ocean view in southern California within 12 months, $100,000 cash in the bank by the end of this year)





• the relationships you want (I intend to find an amazing, passionate, intimate relationship, to create a close bond with my children, a strong connection with my parents)

You can also set intentions you have for other people. For example, every single day I write down that: “I intend great health and safety for all my loved ones today.”

Your intentions can be things you want to manifest today, this week, this month, this year or within several years. There is no wrong way to create your intentions just make them specific and clear.

Another piece of advice is when you ask for what you want… ask like you expect to get it! Each morning write your gratitude and intention list and passionately read them out loud. Put energy and feeling into what you are grateful for and also what you want. It feels good to do this plus when you understand the Law of Attraction you know the universe is made up of energy and will respond to the energy (the vibration) that you emanate. Let me point out here that deciding what you want can be hard. The first time you try to list out 10 things you want may be a little tough.

It is common for people to say they desire happiness and that is a noble intention for all. But what do people really want when they say they want happiness? I believe what we really want is: energy, experiences and excitement.

Think about it… when you are feeling energized you are feeling good and when you are feeling good, you are happy! When you are really experiencing life, you are happy. To me, a great life is a life of great experiences. We also want excitement… excitement increases our energy.

So if it is hard for you to answer the question “What do I want?”, then try these questions instead:

What experiences do I want?
What will excite and energize me and lead to happiness?
What will be good for me and for the greater good of others?

The last item to look at here is the subject of worthiness. To successfully use the Law of Attraction, it is critical you feel worthy. If you do not feel worthy of that which you desire, you will not attract it into your existence. Your energy must be vibrating in line with what you want. This is why feeling good comes before setting the intention. You must intend a state of being in which you feel good which will automatically raise your vibration (your energy). When you are energized, you will draw your goals and desire towards you like a magnet. When you are vibrating at a high level, you are connected to source energy / God / the universe. And when you are connected you become a channel to allow your thoughts (intentions) to manifest! You and your intention become one in the same.

So have fun creating your intentions and in the next article on How to Use the Law of Attraction we will look at how taking inspired action will speed up the manifestation process.
