Some people are convinced that the Law of Attraction is some New Age belief that whatever we think about brings the corresponding experiences into our lives; so positive thoughts bring positive experiences and negative thoughts bring negative experiences. This so-called law of attraction is further believed to be based on the supposition that we, as well as our thoughts, are pure energy and since like energy attracts like energy, we can use this law to improve our circumstances, be it in the area of health, wealth or interpersonal relationships.

Interestingly, many of us are do not hold these new age beliefs but quite often use the Law of Attraction without even realizing it. We do it when we are hopeful, when we think positively, aiming for the best outcome; when we make a wish on a shooting star or at a wishing well, and even when we pray, asking and believing that our God will deliver.

I am a firm believer in the idea that our thoughts are energy and like a magnet, we attract the manifestation of these thoughts into our experiences.

Some months ago, I was reading an article on the Law of Attraction and the writer was inviting readers to perform a simple experiment of thinking about and then bringing pennies into their physical existence. She went on to share that she had done the same and the number of pennies she saw in the space of a week, it was like pennies were falling from heaven. Of course, I decided to run the experiment, I am a scientist after all. My choice was ten-cent pieces or dimes. Pennies were taken out of our monetary system some time ago so I was not going to push the universe to deliver something that would have taken some re-creation. For about three or four days, I saw dimes in the street, on the floor, in nooks and crannies, on the steps leading to my office, in my car, even in my garden. Dimes were everywhere and it felt like they were placed for me to find them. I just shook my head in amazement and I admit that the thought crossed my mind: "were these coins always around and I never noticed or was this was the law of attraction at work?"

This morning I was guided to write about pennies from heaven. Soon after the thought of ‘pennies from heaven’, I had a second more vivid thought that reminded me of my ‘dime experiment’. The thought kept on unfurling and made me ask myself, “if you were able to bring dimes into existence by a mere thought, why have you not thought about the wads of cash you need for your Foundation?” I felt my eyes grow to saucers. I have never thought of using my experience to manifest the funds needed to invest in a business that could then support the work of Lizzie’s Nest. I knew that if the Universe was able to bring me the dimes created by my thoughts, then manifesting any needed cash would be no different.

I sat quietly and contemplated the message.

You may be wanting to manifest something into your life: be good health, a new and improved relationship, a new job or wads of cash; I invite you to sit quietly, contemplate this message and let the energy of your thoughts surprise and delight as you move towards the abundance you desire and deserve.
