One of the most common questions people have about manifesting is what’s the difference between manifesting and the Law of Attraction.
In fact, they are intertwined, but they do hold distinct places in the journey of creating your dream life.
So let’s delve into how they differ and complement each other, especially under the gentle guidance of the Moon.
The Law of Attraction: Setting the Stage
– What It Is:
The Law of Attraction is a universal principle and one of the Universal Laws. It posits that positive or negative thoughts often attract more positive or more negative experiences into a person’s life.
– Key Principle:
Like attracts like. Focusing on positive thoughts will bring more positive outcomes.
Manifesting: The Art of Creation
– What It Is: Manifesting is actively creating something in your life through intention and belief.
– Key Action: It involves setting intentions, visualizing your desires, and taking proactive steps towards your goals. And essentially its driver is … the Law of Attraction.
If you want to manifest, you need to trigger the Law of Attraction…
Where Moonology comes into it…
The phases of the Moon offer a natural framework for manifesting…
– At New Moon …
This part of the lunar cycle is ideal for setting intentions and starting new projects. So when you set your intentions, for example, in Moonology at least, you are encouraged to visualise your dreams and affirm your intentions.
The Law of Attraction states that like unto itself is drawn. If you can believe it, you can achieve it. So New Moon manifesting helps you to believe in yourself and your dreams and that attracts your desires.
Note; you can’t make anyone ELSE do anything but you CAN create your OWN reality.
– Full Moon Rituals
These are perfect for releasing and letting go of what no longer serves you. Why would you want to do that and what does it have to do with the Law of Attraction or manifesting? Simple!
Remember, we attract what we believe we deserve. We attract less the wishes on our New Moon wishes and what we THINK we are going to get.
If we believe in ourselves, we attract positively.
If we are wracked with self-doubt, it’s hard to manifest good things. Ditto if you think the world is out to get you, that you’re not good enough and/or that this whole Law of Attraction and/or manifesting thing is a crock! Which is where the Full Moon comes it.
Our emotions swell at this time and we can process them. We can work on why we feel less than good enough or what makes us cynical.
Once you do that, you will find you start to attract less negative and more positive.
Does that make sense?
Moonology: A Moon-Guided Path
At this point, it would be super remiss of me not to mention my Moonology Diary 2024. I created this beautiful diary as a tool that combines the principles of the Law of Attraction with the art of manifesting, all aligned with the lunar cycle.
Once you start to use it, you will see that it:
- keeps you on track
- helps you believe in yourself
- shows you that the Law of Attraction and manifesting and real
- encourages you on your journey
- changes your life!
How can a diary be life-changing?
It provides a structured approach to harnessing the energy of the Moon, offering daily, weekly and monthly guidance for working with the New and Full Moon as well as the daily Moon, including offering exercises and rituals for manifesting alongside the Moon.
Summing up…
So to sum up, the difference between manifesting and the Law of Attraction is that while the Law of Attraction is the universal law that states we can attract what we want (or what we DON’T want if we focus on that too much), manifesting is the active process of bringing the Law of Attraction to to life.
Magical people have done their manifesting at the New Moon since time immemorial – because as my old mentor Jonathan Cainer used to say, it’s when the veil between the world’s is at its thinnest and is easiest to access.
And if you want some help with this, I have to say that my Moonology Diary 2024 has been created as the PERFECT companion for anyone looking to blend these powerful practices.
