Colour is something that most people don’t tend to think about very much, but that is unfortunate because colour can be incredibly helpful to those of us who work with the Law of Attraction to bring about change in our lives. From the moment we were born into this world we have all developed strong ideas about what different colours represent. For example, many people associate red with danger or passion, which could be viewed as two sides of the same coin. Similarly, the colour green is often associated with wealth and natural growth.

Of course, not everyone shares exactly the same associations with different colours, but here in the West we have traditionally associated certain colours with certain qualities. Browse through the following list and see if any of these associations feel appropriate to you:

Red = Danger, Passion and Confidence
Pink = Love or Romance
Purple = Royalty, Being in Control
Yellow = Optimism
Blue = Peace of Mind, Clarity, Tranquillity
White = Purity
Green = Prosperity, Abundance

If you associate any of these colours with a different quality than we have listed then that is perfectly fine – simply jot down what the colours mean to you and use that list as your own personal reference.

Having defined what qualities you tend to associate with various colours, think about what you are currently working towards with the Law of Attraction. You can then use your personal associations to help you bring about change in your life deliberately, and all you have to do is make a point of introducing more of the colour that you associate with what you are working towards with the Law of Attraction.

For example, a woman who wants to bring more passion into her life might do well to start wearing more red, and she could do that by wearing red lip gloss, red lingerie or a pendant which features a red gemstone. Similarly, a businessman who wants to achieve a greater level of profitability in his endeavours might fare better if he started wearing a green neck tie or introduced a few green plants into his office.

By putting such colours in place your subconscious mind will automatically start focusing on the quality that you want to attract into your life when your eyes fall upon them, even as your conscious mind focuses on other day to day matters. Of course, we don’t expect you to simply take our word for this, so try experimenting with the magickal properties of colour in your own life and see what happens!

The goal of achieving instant manifestation with the Law of Attraction is one that many people share, but developing the ability to manifest intentions ‘on demand’ could be downright dangerous. And why is that? Well, the Law of Attraction states that we attract what we focus on, but not all of us focus on positive things all of the time, and if manifestation occurred instantly we could all be in big trouble. Consider the number of airline passengers who have a fear of flying and spend the whole journey focusing on what could go wrong – if the Law of Attraction manifested their thoughts immediately then several hundred passengers could suffer as a result!

In our Seven Dollar Miracle e-book we explain the situation like this:

Imagine what would happen if the Matrix responded automatically and instantly to the energy you broadcast throughout the day. For sure, you could enjoy a financial miracle and manifest a million dollars in a matter of seconds simply by desiring that to come to pass. And yes, you could merely think about having a Ferrari and then open your eyes and find the latest model has been manifested in your driveway.

But at the same time, such ‘instant’ manifestation could also lead to a world of hurt. If someone annoyed you and you thought a spiteful thought of revenge, that thought would instantly manifest as reality, regardless of whether revenge was your true intention or just a natural human slip of the mind. Similarly, everyone else in the Matrix would be able to do the same thing. Metaphysically, we would all be treading on eggshells all the time so as to avoid manifesting something disastrous, or having someone else manifest something disastrous against us.

To avoid this potential chaos, the Matrix operates on a kind of time delay basis where the energy you broadcast takes time to become reality. By operating in this way, if you think something foolish or maybe even nasty during the heat of the moment, you have some time to correct yourself by thinking more positive thoughts and thus cancelling the original negative programming.

As you can see, the goal of instant manifestation with the Law of Attraction really isn’t one that any of us would want to achieve if we thought the matter through properly. This fact should encourage you to persist with your Law of Attraction work if you don’t get the results that you are seeking as quickly as you would like. Continue to focus on your intention for long enough to progress through the ‘time delay’ that the universe has in place and manifestation will occur as intended. As the saying goes, all good things come to those who wait!

One of the most powerful ways of creating good things in your life with the Law of Attraction is to develop the ‘attitude of gratitude’. Unfortunately, gratitude seems to have become something of a forgotten secret among modern day Law of Attraction practitioners, so in this article we will outline exactly why gratitude is so important.

The idea that ‘what you focus on expands’ is commonplace in Law of Attraction teachings, and many people interpret this to mean that they should focus their attention on their ultimate goal. If you can do this with a feeling of having already achieved the goal then that is a perfectly workable approach, but sometimes it is the case that fixing your attention on the goal also makes you very aware that you have not yet achieved it. Focusing on the goal can therefore also ‘accidentally’ involve focusing on not having what you want, and of course that ‘not having’ condition can also expand in your life if you are not careful.

An alternative approach is to develop the habit of gratitude, and specifically, to develop the habit of being grateful for whatever you have in your life that the manifestation of the intended goal would increase. Since the goal itself has not yet been achieved in terms of the linear time track, your gratitude target should be the emotion that you expect to experience when the goal has been achieved, rather than the specifics of the goal.

For example, let us imagine that you are using Law of Attraction principles to attract more abundance into your life. In this case you need to identify what emotions having a greater level of abundance would give you – let us say for the sake of illustration that it would give you a sense of security, optimism and freedom. That being established, you should now develop the habit of being grateful for whatever level of security, optimism and freedom you already have in your life, however small.

As you form the habit of using gratitude to focus on the emotions that you associate with your goal, what you focus on will, according to the Law of Attraction, expand. You will therefore find that the conditions of your life will naturally change to give you even more security, even more optimism and an even greater sense of freedom.

The expansion of what you focus on through gratitude could come via the straightforward manifestation of your goal, or it could come via another route that you haven’t even considered before, but your focus will certainly expand.

This is why it is rarely a good idea to be too specific about how you want a desired condition to manifest itself. You may think that more abundance automatically means that you have to get more money, but it could just as easily come into your life in the form of a gift or windfall. For example, you could win a new house in a competition and have security handed to you directly along with a reduction in your monthly living expenses (no more mortgage or rent payments). If you had been focusing exclusively on abundance manifesting as cash, you could easily have missed out on this non-financial way of experiencing your desire.

To summarise, developing the habit of gratitude is something that all Law of Attraction practitioners should do. Take your focus off your problems, worries and concerns and instead put it squarely on the conditions in your life that you want to expand. Be grateful for whatever measure of those conditions you already experience, and trust that the universe will expand them without you having to force the issue. Do this and we think that you will be very impressed with how things progress.

Talismans and amulets have played a significant role in helping individuals to live more successfully over the last several hundred years, but do they still have a place in the lives of those of us who work with the Law of Attraction? The short answer is yes, but the form which our talismans and amulets might take will usually be quite different from the forms used earlier in history.

Both talismans and amulets can be defined as objects which were viewed as being endowed with a magical quality of some kind. In general terms, talismans were carried or worn on the person in an effort to attract a certain quality of condition (for example, good luck or greater financial success) whilst amulets were mostly carried or worn to provide protection against negative forces such as bad luck.

In previous centuries, where the belief in ritual and personal deities was much more common than it is today, talismans and amulets often featured ritual symbols and/or depictions of a deity (or several deities) associated with the intended use of the object. As such beliefs dwindled, so did the use of talismans and amulets, and where their use continued, the design of talismans and amulets changed to better suit the new understanding of how the universe worked.

There is much anecdotal evidence that talismans and amulets were effective in helping those who used them to live better lives. Talismans of health often gave their users a much-needed energy boost, and talismans of luck and wealth really did seem to make their owners luckier and wealthier. In ages past, it was thought that this was due to the external forces depicted on the talismans and amulets favouring the owner, but when we look at the subject with our modern understanding of the Law of Attraction and how the universe works, it is easy to see that talismans and amulets worked in a much more practical way.

In brief, people believed in the power of talismans and amulets. As any regular reader of Create Good Things will be aware, the power of belief is the force which changes our lives from the inside out (see The Magic of Believing). If we believe that we are getting stronger, wealthier, luckier or more attractive then those are the qualities that we will attract into our lives. Whether we believe in our own intrinsic power as spiritual beings or we put our faith in a symbolic object, it is the belief itself which brings about change.

This does not mean that those of us with a modern understanding of the Law of Attraction cannot gain benefit from using talismans and amulets. There is definitely value in carrying a physical symbol of a desired condition or quality on our person at all times, as every time we see that symbol – directly or peripherally – the subconscious mind will automatically begin to dwell on the associated condition, and that in turn will help to speed the manifestation of that condition or quality in our lives.

The good news is that virtually any small object can be used as a talisman or amulet – the important thing is to associate your chosen object with the end result that you want to achieve. For example, you could obtain a key fob and view it as a talisman which will help you to grow healthier and stronger, or you could obtain an unusual coin and view it as something that will help you attract greater wealth and success into your life. If you are so inclined you could even make a talismanic object of your own by inscribing a personal symbol onto a metal disc (blank medals or dog tags are useful for this).

Whatever object you choose as your personal talisman or amulet, be sure to keep it on your person at all times – on a chain around your neck, or in your purse, wallet or pocket. That will ensure that you encounter the symbol several times a day and keep your subconscious mind working with the Law of Attraction to manifest your goal.
