My father passed away a week ago Monday. I was next to him- lying, sitting, standing and holding his hand for the last day and a half of his life. It was a powerful space to be in. It was a space of true love- wordless and unspoken- but poignantly present. My dad could always make me happy. He was always a happy-go-lucky kind of guy. And he did it without the benefit of The Secret, or any of the manifesting tools we have today. That time with him during his last day and a half was both incredibly sad and incredibly beautiful.

How my father attracted the good was that he lived with a happy heart. He made himself and others happy. So as I speak of how to access the Law of Attraction Energy, it seems fitting to look at how we too can live our lives in what I call ‘the happy zone.’

What do you do that makes you happy and gives you peace? For me it is sitting on the edge of the brook with the leaves and squirrels, the moths and butterflies. I watch them all go about their business and I feel peaceful. I can also get in this place through visualizing the above.

As for peace, I get into that place by listening to peaceful music, listening to the waves at the oceanside, or watching a squirrel bury his nuts in the woods near my home. Contemplating lovely artwork makes me peaceful, as does reading spiritual writings and saying affirmations.

I get into the space of love by lying on the couch with my arms around one of my children. I also get there by cuddling and watching a movie, or conversing with someone I care for about what makes them happy.

When I was a kid my dad and I loved to sing together in the car. We sang at the top of our lungs with the windows up or down. It didn’t matter. And this was how we found our joy together. Joy being all important to accessing The Law of Attraction Energy. So now what is it that brings you joy and happiness? And are you willing to do it, day in and out, no matter what other agendas and jobs you have? Because that truly is the only way to manifest the good in your life. You must feel happy and be happy.

One thing is for sure, when I want to access the law of attraction energy I do not watch Freddy Krueger, or a sad movie, or even the news- which is often fraught with negativity. And as I think of my dad, he was always a ‘Sound of Music’ kind of guy. So I follow in his footsteps.

So as you go through your week and your day, and you want to access the good in life, do what makes you happy. You can even do what makes others happy, and your happiness will often follow along, if you do it with goodwill, and no regrets or resentment. If you can’t do that, then do something just for you. Do what makes you feel good, and you will begin to manifest the good in your life. And it will also honor the memory of my dad, a true light on this earth- whose light can still live on through all of us.
