Since the arrival of the film and New York Times bestseller The Secret, The Law of Attraction, as one of our universal laws, has greatly impacted people's minds worldwide. This law claims that our thoughts alone influence objective circumstances in our lives. And simply by changing our thoughts, we can attract everything we want. But to what degree is this true? And is it actually this simple?

The lie we’ve been sold about the law of attraction
Introducing the Law of Attraction into the mainstream arena was undoubtedly a game-changer. Businesses started building workshops around it to manifest their sales goals, and manifestation coaches appeared, using this law to help clients attract their worldly desires. People created vision boards filled with Lamborghinis and mansions, and the chants of affirmations echoed across the halls of self-help retreats all around the planet.
Over time, more and more people were hungry to utilize this law to become millionaires, yacht owners, and Forbes 500 CEOs. This is no surprise because who would not want to turn their dreams into physical reality by simply swapping the fragrance of their thoughts from limiting lack to blissful abundance?
Through books such as The Secret, we have come to believe that just by focusing our thoughts on what we want, we can have it all. But if getting what we want was this easy, how come so many who do these manifestation exercises never bring their manifestation into fruition?
If you still believe this is how the Law of attraction works, I’m sorry (or happy) to break it to you.
Unfortunately, I believe we’ve been sold a lie. But the great news is, our hope of manifesting our dreams is far from lost.
Life will always respond to the real you
I once saw a quote on social media saying, “You can front all you want. But the universe will respond to the real you, not who you pretend to be.”
I thought, wow, what a massive truth-bomb squeezed into one single quote!
I believe this quote describes just exactly how the law of attraction actually works. Simply designing fancy vision boards, meditating on affirmations, or chanting high-vibe mantras just won't cut it when it comes to attracting what you believe you long for.
What I learnt from real-life experience, just as that quote states, is this:
The law of attraction responds to all of you. Meaning, the sum of all that you are as a human being in this life. It responds to your subconscious desires, motives, beliefs, mental models, and trauma, including that which you have inherited from your ancestors through your very DNA structure.
For example, if you carry the subconscious belief that you don’t deserve to be an influential business leader, guess what?
The universe will mirror that belief back to you in your life.
But here’s the good news: only for as long as that belief exists in your subconscious. So, an inner transformation has to take place before you can attract that position of being an influential leader into your life.
This is also why the law of attraction is sometimes called the Law of Mirroring, because it is a more accurate name given how it works.
So, if this is how the law plays out, we have to start working with it from a very different angle.
The law of attraction on a collective level
Another thing to consider about this law is how this universe operates from a collective level. If you look at nature, you will see that life and the universe will always strive to create what is best for everybody involved, not just we as individuals and our self-centered desires and wishes. This phenomenon ties into the law of karma, or the law of cause and effect, which states that every action you take has an equal reaction to it. Life will always strive for harmony for the whole system, even though it might not seem like it sometimes.
We can integrate this profound wisdom when meditating on the law of attraction in our lives. By approaching it in a philanthropic way, and genuinely feeling into what is best for humanity and the earth as an interconnected ecosystem, we can all co-create real abundance.
We shift from “I want to manifest this castle for me, myself, and I” to “Together, we manifest that which is best for the good of all”.
3 steps to aligning with your true desires
Going back to our subconscious. If we now understand that the universe responds to the real you and all that we have buried in our subconscious, where do we go from here?
The answers and pathways are many. In my mentoring, I work with the following three steps to align yourself with your true desires and attract what the real you wants to experience.
1. Get to know your blindspots
To gain the self-awareness needed to see ourselves clearly, we must work with our blind spots. We all have them, and it can be very difficult to spot them and let alone work on them without a guiding hand. In my mentoring, I help you identify your blind spots by tuning into your energy field, and together we dismantle any rigid identities and limiting beliefs that consume precious energy in your life.
2. Accept your truth
Revealing and integrating your blind spots are not enough. To understand what we deep down inside long for, we must be brutally honest with ourselves and dare to see, feel, and accept our truth. However, not all truths are equally valued or accepted in our society, and that is why you must be brave and 100% ready for the truth if you want to work with me as a mentor. Together, we identify your true motives, desires, and soul gifts hidden within your subconscious. We use specific tools, systems, and questions to feel into the core of you.
3. Master your focus
The last step is about focused action. Without it, there is no progress, no real manifestation, and no alignment. With grounded presence and practical guidance, I assist you in simplifying your life and mastering your focused attention to prioritize that which you truly value. This, so that you can finally commit to your calling with courage, trust, more energy, and real action steps. It is a challenging undertaking, but continuing to be stuck in the same cycles and attracting what you do not want to experience is a much harder pill to swallow. In other words, the challenge is well worth it. And besides, seeing yourself grow into a more empowered version of yourself that attracts exciting new opportunities can be great fun!
Don’t postpone your authenticity, start today
You deserve a life of abundance and authenticity. I believe we all do. We just need to be brave enough to walk through the fire of truth, and let the flames expose and burn away the things we once learned to hide from ourselves and the world. We did this because we were scared, and rightfully so. So now, my friend, I believe it is time to master the law of attraction and finally go after what your soul really wants.
