There seems to be a lot of conflicting information about using the law of attraction to attract and manifest your desires.  Many believe that action is not necessary, and that your work is simply to ask and allow.  Others find it too incredible to believe that you can simply ask, visualize, and then wait for the item of your dreams to simply “poof” into your reality.  The interesting thing is that the universe loves you SO much that you always get to be right!  It truly is, “as you believe”.  So regardless of which approach you “believe” in, that will be your truth.  I should also add that if you believe that this law of attraction stuff is all a bunch of “metaphysical, new age, nonsense”, then the universe will ensure that once again, ‘you get to be right”.

But for those of you who do believe that you are the creator of your reality and want to reclaim your power to manifest and create the life of your dreams, then let’s see if we can shed a little light on when to take action.

Let’s look at the 3 simple steps that define the process.

Step 1:  You Ask…you experience contrast that causes you to prefer something different.  You can consciously ask, or just have it be the natural process of subconsciously preferring a different outcome.

Step 2:  The Universe Answers… We could do a whole post about this part, but we’ll save that for another day, and just say that there is nothing for you to do at this stage.

Step 3:  You allow the manifestation to enter your reality by becoming a vibrational match to the “having of it”.  This part is your work.  Your vibrational indicator is “how you feel”, and your work in this step is largely monitoring your feelings and choosing the best feeling thought, that you can access at any given point in time.

Most of us do believe that action is a necessary part of the creation process.  It is only natural that we have formed this belief, since our reality has reflected that belief in our experiences for all of our lives.  So if that belief is still active for us, then how do we find the balance in our manifestation process?

I believe that the answer lies in when and why we are performing the action.  If we are acting from a place of  fear, need, lack, or trying to “make something happen”, then that action will be from a lower vibration and will actually take us further away from becoming a vibrational match to what we are wanting to manifest. 

But as we raise our vibration and enter the vicinity of the frequency of what we are wanting, then inspired, practical action steps are revealed.  We can “see” our dreams coming into view, and passion and purpose show us the way.  At this point we can’t wait to perform what ever action that we are inspired to take.

Here is a video I made to further clarify the process:
