I received this question from Angel recently and wanted to share with you my response:
Dear Dr. Karen:
I really do believe in the law of attraction I have a positive outlook and act like I am already in a relationship. I have everything I have always wanted except someone to share it with. I am clear and specific about who I want. When and how will this happen? I can feel it but it’s not there…
Dear Angel,
You are not the only one who asks this question. I remember when I was manifesting my dream partner James, I became disappointed after 8 months of “doing my best” and my dream ice-skating love partner was nowhere to be found!
There is something important you need to know about how the law of attraction works. The Universe has the ideal timing for everything and we are not in conscious control of that timing (of when “it” will happen). I recommend that you listen to my colleague Sandy Sain in the interview I did with her on blog talk radio (see radio player on the side bar at www.lawofattractioninlove.com) when she told me how she went on 500 dates over five years before she knew herself well enough and became the person she needed to become to manifest her dream partner Bob. When I asked her whether it was worth the wait (total of eight years I believe, after her divorce), she said YES!
Since you’ve been specific in asking for your partner and have been embodying the energy of already having received and are “acting” as if this person will show up in any moment, your current job is just one thing – ENJOY your life. Yes, enjoy your life. You said you have everything thing you’ve ever wanted. WOW! Amazing! That is wonderful! So all you need to do now is to fully engage in your PRESENT life (because you have to be PRESENT to manifest something in the future). Your dream partner will come if that is your soul’s true calling!
That being said, there is one thing that my mentor and bestselling author, Keith Leon, told me about manifesting your ideal partner that you need to know about. Look at the list of qualities you have written down for your ideal mate. You need to become all those qualities (aside from the physical ones!) before you can attract them. So, for example, if you wrote down that you partner must have integrity and honesty, check in with yourself as to whether you can truly say you fully embody those qualities yourself. The Law of Attraction states that like attracts like, so you must BECOME that which you wish to attract. If you want a weatlhy mate, then become wealthy yourself. If you want someone who is very kind and compassionate, practice being ever-more compassionate to people around you (including yourself) on a daily basis. Get the picture?
Most of all, just TRUST that The Universe has your best interests in mind and that your manifestation will appear when you least expect. Practice LETTING GO of your attachment to your intention, which will free up the energy around it (and thus bring it quicker to you), yet at the same time feeling passionate about what you want. Passion and attachment are not the same thing. The energy of ATTACHMENT feels needy and scarce. The energy of PASSION is a great magnet.
Enjoy your life! I believe in you!
Blessings,
Dr. Karen
