In the last decade, I have intensively studied the Law of Attraction and the manifesting process and worked with many coaching clients. In all the years, I have frequently heard misunderstandings about manifestation. And since my approach to manifesting is very practical, hands-on, and easy to implement, it was crucial for me to get these Law of Attraction misconceptions out of the way.

One I hear all the time, but I can assure you, the Law of Attraction works, always and for everyone.
And if I know something after over a decade in which I have been very intensively involved with this topic, and have helped countless women in my coaching sessions or my courses, then this; manifesting works for everyone.
We create our life, our reality, always. This means that many people manifest all their lives without ever really realizing it.
The power lies in being able to apply the Law of Attraction consciously and control the manifesting process. But this is also something that everyone can learn.
In my online training, I had thousands of women from all over the world, with every background, every age, every religion. And not a single time has manifesting not worked if the techniques were applied correctly.
Of course, some need a little more work when it comes to their mindset and beliefs, for others, it’s enough to use the right tools like a vision board, affirmations or anchors, the correct way.
But if you want to become a manifesting master, you will — no doubt about it.
And if you still believe that the Law of Attraction is only for a selected group, for people with special abilities, or a particular background,
Maybe you watched the movie “The Secret,” and you remember the scene with Aladin and the three free wishes? Of course, it’s a cute way to show the manifesting process in a movie, but manifesting has little to do with magic wands or fairy tales.
Sorry if I might destroy your world with this statement, but the Law of Attraction only works if you take an important step: Action.
Or, as my mentor Jack Canfield once said, the last part of the word attraction is action. I truly love this quote (and Jack’s work, btw.)
And even though it often feels truly magical when you visualize your big dreams and stick them on a vision board only to realize a few days, weeks, or months later, that you’ve already achieved that one big dream. It really has nothing to do with magic.
Rational looking at manifesting, it is a goal-setting and goal-achievement process, but not something as boring as S.M.A.R.T. Goals, but one that sparks the dreamer in you.
The actual manifestation of your goal doesn’t come from fairy dust, but from inspired action, the action you have to take.
Btw. in my bestselling manifestation book I teach my signature advanced manifesting method, which contains a goal-setting strategy that really brings results. For this, I was inspired by Walt Disney and how he made his big dreams and visions come true.

This misconception about the Law of Attraction is somewhat more complicated. Basically, the statement is not wrong: we attract what we think and feel.
Therefore, it is actually true that good feelings and thoughts attract good things and negative feelings and thoughts attract bad things.
But there is really more to it.
My husband does not divorce me just because I once had negative feelings about our marriage. And anyone who has been in a relationship for a long time knows for sure that these days just happen from time to time.
Also, no war will break out here in Switzerland, just because I saw a T.V. report about a war zone and felt terrible about it. Not that this could happen anyway, because I don’t watch T.V.
And unfortunately, I don’t wake up in Hawaii just because my last thought before I fell asleep was about a trip to Maui.
Although that would be a really cool thing, speed manifestation (did you hear me, dear universe?)
No seriously, just a feeling, whether positive or negative, won’t bring anything into your life. But continuously living in an emotional world, and always being in this flow, will most definitely bring more of that to you.
That doesn’t mean that to manifest your dream life; you always have to be perfect and positive; in point number #10, I’ll go into that in even more detail, but you should make an effort and pay attention to what you think and how you feel.
The good thing is, you can consciously attract more positive feelings and thoughts into your life.
Sure, what’s easy for one person is difficult for another. But with my community and my manifesting blog, I have set myself the goal of making manifesting an easy-to-follow, hands-on process.
And it is not difficult, believe me, manifesting is not a complicated scientific concept for which you have to study for years to understand it. Don’t forget, I’m a highs school dropout, and there is a reason for this. I definitely love shortcuts in life.
As I mentioned in point number one, the Law of Attraction works for everyone. There is a process, and if you stick to it, you can't go wrong. Besides, some specific tools and strategies will help you to get rid of your abundance blocks and get in the right mindset.
But I understand that many are overwhelmed in the beginning; too much info (and also misinformation) is available about the LoA. Furthermore, the abundance blocks are scary or can give you insecurities when you have to face them all by yourself.
That’s where a community can help.
But starting with the Law of Attraction can be scary. I know that because I was at this point myself. I had read the book “The Secret” and was enthusiastic about the whole concept. And I had truly implemented everything the way I understood it, or the way I thought it was supposed to be.
But I had no success. And I was frustrated. And I thought the whole thing didn’t work, or it was simply too difficult for me.
But it wasn’t, I just hadn’t understood essential aspects of the Law of Attraction. When I finally understood them correctly and manifesting started to work, a new world had opened up for me.
Suddenly everything was possible, and my life changed completely, from frustrated and unhappy to amazing. And this is exactly what I want for you; this is my motivation to make the Law of Attraction understandable and accessible for everyone.
