If you’ve been working with the Law of Attraction for any length of time, you’re probably well versed in the importance of thinking and feeling positively as often as possible. However, you may not already be aware of the ways in which certain emotions can supercharge the power of your efforts!
Remember that the Law of Attraction is activated by your thoughts, emotions and beliefs. Emotion in particular is what provides the “fuel” for your desires.
If you’ve been experiencing lackluster results from your attraction efforts, give them a boost with the use of these 3 powerful emotions:
1) Joy.
Joy is one of the highest frequency emotions because it puts you into a state of near bliss. When you feel joyful, your heart is soaring, your spirits are lifted and you are emitting a blast of positive energy like you wouldn’t believe! The universe, of course, receives your “joy signal” and immediately begins shifting circumstances in your life to make room for more things that will bring you joy.
Practice sitting in a state of joy at least once a day. You can read or watch something that makes you feel joyful, or simply think of something and visualize it until you’ve got those powerful emotions flowing.
2) Gratitude.
Gratitude is another strong, positive emotion. Not quite as strong as joy, but still very good. Most importantly, gratitude puts you immediately into a state of allowing because you’re focusing only on abundance.
Make a daily habit of feeling grateful and appreciative of everything you have, see, and experience in your daily activities. You can be grateful for the blessings in your life, but also for the kind people you meet, the beautiful sunrise while you’re out taking a walk before work, or anything else that brings a smile to your lips.
3) Passion.
Yet another power-booster for the Law of Attraction, passion thrusts you into a state of feel-good that won’t allow any negativity or lack to intrude. This can apply to both romantic passion, or emotional passion like you would experience from doing something you really enjoy.
Make time for passion in your life every day. Indulge in fun hobbies, rich foods, beautiful artwork and music, and anything else that stirs your passion.
These 3 emotions alone can inspire impressive change in your life, but also be sure to make room for others like love, peacefulness, harmony, humor and serenity. All positive emotions have the power to turn you into a strong magnet for everything you desire!

Today’s Daily Quote by Abraham-Hicks is great - can’t get any simpler than this:
You will notice that those who speak most of prosperity, have it. Those who speak most of health, have it. Those who speak most of sickness, have it. Those who speak most of poverty, have it. It is Law. It can be no other way… The way you feel is your point of attraction, and so, the Law of Attraction is most understood when you see yourself as a magnet getting more and more of the way you feel. When you feel lonely, you attract more loneliness. When you feel poor, you attract more poverty. When you feel sick, you attract more sickness. When you feel unhappy, you attract more unhappiness. When you feel healthy and vital and alive and prosperous — you attract more of all of those things.

Boy, do I have a story for you. It’s a story about the power of perception.
Today while I was driving my husband’s truck, the brakes failed. And I do mean failed - from one instant to the next I had brakes and then no brakes at all. I called my husband at work and told him about it, and after he made sure I was okay he immediately launched into a tirade about how his truck is a piece of junk (actually he used a more colorful word), and how we don’t need a big car repair bill right now, and how inconvenient this was because he had to leave work to come get me — on and on he went. I let him get it all off his chest, then we hung up so I could call a tow truck.
My husband arrived before the tow truck did and he was still ranting and raving about how aggravating this was, blah, blah, blah. I don’t blame him, I’ve done plenty of my own raving at times when something gets under my skin!
But today I was calm. Totally calm and detached about the whole thing. In fact, I felt blessed.
Finally in the midst of his rant he noticed my unusal calm and asked if I was really okay. I said I was, and then told him why I was so peaceful.
Every Thursday I do a ton of driving. It’s the day I do the majority of errand-running for the household, including trips to the grocery store, bank, post office, pharmacy and more - usually spending 3 to 5 hours driving through multiple cities. I also drive an extra 50 miles to visit my sister-in-law, nephew and niece for a couple of hours. All in all I probably travel close to 100 miles every Thursday.
Today was no different. I did all my errands and stopped to visit sis and the kids like usual. During the whole trip the brakes were fine. No weirdness, no hint of imminent failure. When I left their house is when the brakes failed.
I had just pulled away from the curb and coasted slowly toward a stop sign at the next cross street. Because the distance is so short I had been traveling maybe 10mph. So even when the brakes failed, there was still barely enough pressure for me to step hard on the pedal and force the truck to stop. Then I just put it in reverse and crept slowly backwards to the front of their house again and used the emergency brake to stop.
After I told all this to my husband, he still didn’t get why I thought this was a good thing. So I explained further - for the 75 or so miles I had been driving before that, I had gone up and down some very steep, winding roads. I had traveled through very busy city streets, and over crowded bridges. I had stopped for children in crosswalks. If the brakes had failed during any of those moments, this situation could have been thousands of times worse. I or someone else could have been seriously injured or killed.
You can bet that all of this crossed my mind in a flash when the brakes failed as I was coasting along at 10mph on a flat, deserted stretch of road. THEN he got what I was saying. Immediate shift in perception. “You’re right,” he said, “this could have been REALLY BAD if it happened anywhere else.” And he hugged me. Yep, that’s what I thought too!
Did I attract a brake failure today? Actually, I think I did. (whoopsie!) For the past few weeks I’ve been thinking about the brakes on my car and wondering if it’s time to have them replaced. It keeps popping into my mind but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. Since I had to drive such a long way today I asked my husband if we could swap cars. (There’s another blessing - if the brakes had failed while my husband was driving, you can bet he would have been driving a LOT faster than I was! :-))
So my point with this story is simple. By NOT overreacting or focusing on the negative aspects of the situation, I can virtually guarantee that something positive will come out of it. Actually, I already feel that the most positive outcome possible has been achieved. I’m still safe, and so is everyone I encountered while driving today. The truck can be repaired or replaced. So can my car. No big deal.
That’s the true power of perception! Like I say in my Law of Attraction ebook, the Law of Attraction is not meant to be a “magic cure” for everything that we think is wrong with our lives. We may still have moments when things go wrong. But if we make an effort to keep our thoughts and emotions in order, we can drastically minimize their impact and probably prevent even worse things from happening later on.
Either way, I just feel good. Great, actually. Like a loving hand is guiding me away from danger and toward all the good things I want. I may not get them all when I hope to, but I do believe they’re coming. And maybe they might not all be in the packaging I expect to see, but they’ll still be beautiful and inspiring. I couldn’t ask for anything more!

Back in February I wrote a short post on Ho’oponopono and promised to write more about it later. Since then I’ve had some interesting experiences with this process!
The first few times I used it I didn’t spend a lot of time on it. I recited the words and definitely felt some shifting taking place, but didn’t really immerse myself in the process fully. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to go all the way and see what it could really do.
For years now I’ve had a recurring health issue that I can’t seem to get rid of. I’ve tried everything from conventional treatments to alternative treatments to visualization to EFT and beyond. Nothing has worked for this condition, not even the many LOA techniques I know. It’s a minor condition, but very annoying because it just keeps coming back and coming back.
So I thought, “Hmm, let’s try Ho’oponopono and see if it will work.” Can’t hurt, right?
I finished my work for the day and settled in to watch TV with Pat (hubby) for a few hours. He was watching some boring show on cars, so I was easily able to tune out the TV and focus on Ho’oponopono. I sat in the glider rocking chair and put my feet up, started rocking and saying the words to myself: I’m sorry, forgive me, thank you, I love you . . .
Within a few minutes I had entered an almost trance-like state, rocking steadily and saying the words mentally over and over again. As I said each statement I made a point of bringing up the corresponding emotions (actually feeling regretful for creating this situation in my life, surrendering to the universe, feeling grateful, flowing feelings of deep love and appreciation, etc.).
Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed - and something VERY interesting was happening. Outside, the wind had picked up and was practically howling around the house. Pat looked at me and said, “Wow, you hear that wind?” I got up and looked outside and saw the trees swaying back and forth in strong gusts. Call me superstitious but it didn’t seem like a random event. It seemed like this wind was “blowing” the negative energy from my life.
I sat back down in my chair, and that’s when I noticed that the whole living room appeared to be glowing . . . like a thousand candles were casting a soft golden glow on everything. It seemed like that glow was within me too - like *I* had been cleansed. I felt so light and peaceful. And that condition that I hadn’t been able to get rid of before? GONE. And it hasn’t come back since.
That would be amazing enough, but I’m not done yet.
A few days later I received an unexpected bill in the mail that was pretty big and I didn’t have the money on hand to pay it. I could have taken it from savings but I didn’t want to do that. As I considered ways to raise the money quickly, a little light bulb went off in my head, “Would Ho’oponopono work on money too?” Why not?
That night I did the same thing, rocked in the glider for more than an hour saying the words and bringing up the corresponding feelings. And YES, the same thing happened - the wind kicked up and started blowing hard outside! And the next few days it was like a hurricane came blowing into my financial sector. Orders came FLOODING in for my business like they never have before. Not only orders either, but all kinds of good things like referrals and new opportunities for the future and more. In the space of a few days, I had more than enough money to pay that bill - and it came in a way that was completely effortless.
It’s no mystery to me why this process works so well in the context of Law of Attraction. Saying these words and bringing up the feelings associated with them automatically moves you into a state of surrender. You’re not RESISTING or throwing anxiety and fear into the mix. Your vibrational state becomes one of peace, harmony and receptivity. You’re LETTING GO - which is one of THE most important things you can do when you’re trying to create better circumstances. You’re giving the universe room to work on your behalf - and WOW does it.
So, if you’ve got a situation that nothing else seems to work on, you might want to try Ho’oponopono and see if it might be just the thing you need. I do recommend reading the book, Zero Limits because you’ll learn a lot more about the process and how it works. Besides, it’s a fascinating read. There are a lot of amazing stories in there - far more impressive than mine. Definitely check it out if you get a chance.
As for me, I’ve got a few other situations I’ll be using this process on!

It takes time! Lately I’ve been seeing/hearing many people expressing the same problem: they’ve tried to change their thoughts from negative to positive, and ditto with their emotional state, but they keep getting pulled back to the negative stuff no matter how hard they try to turn it around.
Thus, they conclude that it’s not working.
WRONG! I’m speaking from my own experience here, but it’s a process, not an instantaneous shift. It’s impossible to leap from one state of consciousness to another in the blink of an eye. That doesn’t mean your efforts aren’t working, it just means you’re not done shifting yet.
When I think back to the person I was 20 years ago, she’s nothing like the person I am today.
She was extremely unhappy, stressed, depressed. She hated the world and everyone in it, including herself. Especially herself. She was almost always in victim mode, fighting against the injustices that were being done to her by . . . well, almost everyone. Yes, she had her moments of happiness here and there, but they were very fleeting and never lasted long.
The person I am today is pretty much the exact opposite. Almost always happy and optimistic, with maybe a few scarce moments of struggle here and there - but even then mostly surface stuff, nothing major.
What happened? Did I have a near death experience? Did a new, happier soul “walk in” to my body while I was sleeping? Was I abducted by aliens and given a happiness chip implant under my skin? Did I simply get happier as I matured?
No, to all of the above.
What happened is that I CHOSE to become the person I am now. At the time I didn’t see the big picture, of course. I didn’t have a spontaneous vision of myself in the future or anything dramatic like that. I just knew that my own thoughts were working against me and I couldn’t stand to live the rest of my life like that. I had to change if I wanted to live beyond my 25th birthday (either stress would have killed me or I would have killed myself - yes the thought was always there in the back of my mind).
So I started reading and learning about the nature of thoughts and how to change them from negative to positive. Then I started working on doing just that. At first I was only successful part of the time. I’d have maybe 3 positive thoughts nestled in between the 3000 negative ones.
Little by little I started paying more attention to my conscious thoughts throughout the day, and turning them around when I could. (”Wendy, you are so stupid sometimes, I swear . . . - No, wait a minute, that’s not true. I do dumb things sometimes, but that doesn’t make me stupid. It makes me human, and prone to mistakes like everyone else.”)
You get the idea.
Then I started doing the same thing with emotions, choosing to feel more positive - and make myself feel more positive if I didn’t already.
And over a period of several years, it became automatic. I still have my moments when I slip back into old thought and emotional patterns, but it’s rare. And even when it does happen, I’m aware of it immediately and know what to do to turn it around.
Does that mean it will take everyone years to make the transition? Not at all! I admit I’m extremely stubborn and resistant to change, which may be one of the reasons it took so long for me.
But don’t worry about how long it will take. Focus only on right NOW. The more you focus on staying positive in the NOW, the more you’ll strengthen your mind and emotions and train them to veer more toward the positive side. Practice self-awareness as often as you can so you’ll know when you’re moving off track.
And remember one more important thing. As you begin to make the transition, you stop seeing the journey as a “here and there” kind of thing. You stop worrying about trying to move from where you are now to somewhere “better.” The journey itself kind of takes over and you begin appreciating the inner growth and self-mastery - the person you become - rather than worrying about the payoff at the end.
One day you’ll pause along the trail to smell a gorgeous flower - and realize that you are thousands of miles from where you started. And you don’t even have blisters.
P.S. If you want some good tips on how to feel better fast, I recently read a great e-book on the topic: Feel Better Fast: Emergency Rescue Toolbox for Your Moods.
I’m not affiliated with the author and I don’t get any perks for referring you. Her book is just really good. This lady has gone through hell in her own life and learned how to take charge of her thoughts and emotions. She offers some excellent tips and resources for feeling better fast, just like the title of the book. So check it out if you need some guidance!
