Using the Law of Attraction and Manifestation
to Boost Health and Wellness
(It Is --And Isn't -- Magic!)
You can use the Law of Attraction and Manifestation (LOA) to boost your health and wellness. It's a form of energy healing--of working with the energy of your own thoughts to influence your health for the better.
What Is the Law of Attraction and Manifestation?
What is this Law? In a nutshell, it says that whatever you think about, or give your attention to, you attract to yourself.For example, if you place your thoughts on what's going right in your life, you'll attract more of the same. Conversely, if you spend most of your time dwelling on what's going wrong in your life, that's what you'll attract and perpetuate.
This is nothing new--there's so much common wisdom that supports this! As the old saying goes, "Smile and the world smiles with you. Cry and you cry alone." In other words, when you focus on the positive--on joy--the universe helps you!
Using the Law of Attraction for improving health and wellness makes a lot of sense. It harnesses the energy of our thoughts to influence our lives. Since the power of the mind-body connection is already well documented by science, using the Cosmic Law of Attraction to influence our physical health makes perfect sense.
Law of Attraction and Manifestation: The Four Steps
Here are the steps to using the Law of Attraction to boost your healing and wellness:
- Get Clear : Get very clear and specific about what you want. Whether that is more energy, greater stamina, or healing from a serious disease, want it passionately. Make it a priority. Visualize it clearly and regularly. Be specific. For example: "I want to be able to walk 5 miles with ease and comfort." Picture yourself doing just that with strength and joy. Feel how it would fee. Keep your mind on your specific health goal, and on your health in general. Do not focus on what is wrong. Think about what is right, and how you are getting closer and closer to your desired state of health.
- Ask: Ask the universe--or however you construe the divine force--for what you want. Do this in a way that is natural for you and fits with your spiritual beliefs. Ask, and leave the details to the universe/divine force.
- Believe and Be Grateful : Believe and act as if the health you want is already yours--"in the mail," so to speak. Be grateful, knowing that wellness is your natural state and that it is already yours.
- Allow and Accept: Open yourself to receiving your desire in whatever form it comes. Expect it to come to you through natural, not super-natural means. Once again, be grateful. Always be grateful, for life itself is a great gift.
See- just four steps!
Anyone can do this! We do it all the time, without realizing how powerful and cool we are. Even making dinner is an example of the Law of Attraction in action!
Magic--With Its Sleeves Rolled Up and Its Feet on the Ground
However, it's important to remember that, while the process of the Law of Attraction is an energetic one that works with the power of our own thoughts (which are forms of energy), the actual, physical healing itself won't come through supernatural or esoteric means--it will come through the regular mechanisms of the body and the actions of ourselves and others.
For example, I used the four steps above to deal with a persistent pain in my knee. It worked! But I didn't just wake up one morning with my knee magically fixed. That's not what the Cosmic Law of Attraction is saying. We have to do the groundwork in the physical world! I had to go to the gym faithfully; I had to make the appointment with a good bodyworker and show up for the appointments . The Law of Attraction brought me the means to my own healing--but I had to use them.
And of course, I am sure that my belief that I could and would be healed helped me achieve my goal, by activating the power of the mind-body connection.
But anyone can do this! We manifest things all the time. And, while I've been saying that it's not "magic," I believe that it's actually truer that it is magic--it's just that we're used to doing this kind of magic! We do it every day, without realizing how powerful and cool it is (and we are).
So--if you have a health issue, I strongly encourage you to use the steps of the Cosmic Law of Attraction and Manifestation to help heal yourself, using all the resources available to you, including both conventional and alternative forms of treatment.

Important Advice
Of course, with any health issue, it is important that you also seek and follow the advice of a qualified medical professional. Use approaches such as the Laws of Attraction as a complement to, not a substitute for, regular medical care.It's also important not to use the concepts of the Cosmic Law of Attraction in a negative way--to blame ourselves or others for illnesses. Sometimes things just happen to us. It's how we respond to them that shapes and creates our lives. And while illness and disease certainly represent an imbalance, the imbalance may have originated, for example, in one's environment, rather than in one's own thoughts and emotions. Don't ever take on the burden of believing that your health issues are your own fault. Just work with what life presents you and leave any judgement and blaming behind.
It's also important to remember that we cannot always see the larger purpose of any particular event in our lives. A man I once knew was one of the most joyful people I have ever met, despite being nearly completely paralyzed. He called the day of the stroke that left him that way his birthday, because he felt it was the beginning of his spiritual life.
Always use these principles in positive ways!
The Law of Attraction and Serious Health Issues
It becomes more complicated if you have a major health issue, such as cancer, auto-immune disease, heart disease, etc. With major health issues, the fourth step--being non-attached to the actual form that the healing comes in--is critical.Curing vs. Healing
To put it another way, the distinction between curing and healing needs to be kept very clear. You may or not receive curing--the cessation of your physical disease or symptoms. But with our without curing, you can always receive healing, which can come in any form, and at any level--body, mind, or spirit.Changing Your Relationship to an Illness
For example, with our without being cured, you could use the Law of Attraction to help you change your relationship to a disease or physical problem for the better.- You might begin to think of the illness as a teacher, a messenger, or part of your evolutionary path. For example, I knew a man who had been a powerful businessman, but had been almost completely paralyzed by a stroke. He celebrated the day of his stroke as his birthday--because it had been the beginning of his spiritual awakening. He was one of the most radiantly and joyful people I ever met. He was never cured, but he was healed--not from his stroke, but from his former state of being spiritually out of touch.
- Your relationship to pain might change. Often there is a large component of fear associated with pain that significantly intensifies our suffering. Your healing might remove this fear, and thus lessen your suffering.
- You might use an illness as a way to focus your life, cutting away what is extraneous.
- You might use an illness as a way to develop more compassion for others.
