How to Get Paid Using Law of Attraction

Someone owes you money or is slow to pay? While it's easy to blame the other for the situation, that energy isn't likely to help you get the money you're due. Use the Law of Attraction to let the payday in.

First of all, it couldn't have happened if you weren't aligned to it. You played a role in this co-creation. That doesn't make you bad or wrong, it just is what it is. Don't use it as a reason to feel bad, but rather as a way to lift resentment that might be present toward the debtor. After all, they're the ones that got sucked into your "I didn't get paid" or "I got shafted" vibe. (Maybe they deserve some sympathy too, huh?)

How to remedy the circumstances so the money's flowing in? Simple: shift the energy. Specifically, shift YOUR energy. You've got to change how you feel before you can get what you want.

There are a variety of ways we feel when someone's not giving us what we think we earned: upset, angry, resentful, fearful, victimized, resigned, ungrateful, etc. And we know what that energy attracts, right? More reason to feel that way. So that doesn't work.

We've all been down that road to know it.

Before someone can pay us, we have to feel a way that's aligned to that result. Which could be a variety of feelings - different for each of us. For me personally, getting paid what someone owes feels like relief. Relief of those bad feelings I was trying not to flow while they owed me money!

The work is to feel this way BEFORE they pay you. I know it can be tricky, but think of it as good deliberate creation practice. They're giving you an opportunity to flex your manifesting muscle! It helps to find new thoughts that allow for new feelings. Get creative in finding which ones work for you.

While I'm noticing someone still owes me money, and growing more irritated with every week that passes without payment, or even word from them that they intend to pay, I'm flowing energy that keeps that payday in the future. In this way I'm responsible for the delayed payment.

To bring that payday to the present, I have to feel NOW how I would feel then. So I can practice feelings of relief; that "FINALLY!" feeling. I imagine the feeling of a clean slate again. Maybe running "It's about TIME!" through my head or "Thank GOD" I can give this up now.

As I give this up NOW, I open the door to getting paid.

Also, as you flow this newly aligned vibration, check in on whether it feels good to take any particular action. Like sending a reminder invoice, making a call, or asking them to sign a promissory note.

If you take any action, make sure it feels good and do it with the feel good "I just got paid" or at least "I'm on way to being paid" energy - not the "pissed off I'm still not paid" energy. It makes all the difference in the world!

It also helps to release your attachment to receiving the money. If you find your way to knowing you'll be fine either way, that helps let the money in too. Easier said than done, I know, but it works if you can get there. (You have to really mean it for it to work, not just saying the words. The Universe knows the difference.)

I've had luck in the past with this forgiveness exercise that Connie Domino's "Develop Irresistible Attraction" offered from Catherine Ponder:

“When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.” - Catherine Ponder

Holding the person you wish to forgive in your mind, state your affirmation of forgiveness something like this:

“I forgive you completely and freely, I loose you and let you go. So, as far as I’m concerned, the incident that happened between us is finished forever. I wish the best for you, I wish for you your highest good, and I hold you in the light. I am free and you are free, and all again is well between us. Peace be with you.”

You might have to read it a time or two before you feel a shift, but stick with it. That shift is what releases your attachment to getting paid, which is very likely exactly what allows you to let the money in.

I myself am having a hard time on releasing attachment to a particularly large sum that I'm owed (not by a client), so I know getting to forgiveness is easier said than done. And if it doesn't feel good to go there, don't! We know how this works ... find your feel good wherever it is, and that's what'll let the money in.

Here's to a happy payday for us all!

  1. It's interesting looking at the energy around not getting paid - I know that one well.
    And it is hard to let go, to forgive and to get over it. So the wheels spin and you go nowhere.
    I wonder if it doesn't come down to self-love. I don't see this being an issue for people who value themselves and don't vibrate abuse.
    Lol I wonder if I know anyone like that. But really what's with not getting paid - forgive and make peace...hmmm maybe forgive yourself for allowing imbalance and the situation to come into your life. Forgive yourself for not making the connection for payment clearer to the universe. Maybe as always it's barley about the other person and ALL about you. Here is a wonderful opportunity to deepen our commitment to ourselves and to clarify our desires ie, I expect payment and I appreciate you hearing that.
    I have this vision of money with wings coming your way Jeannette, and they just can't help but come your way because the magnetic pull for balance is too strong.

  2. I like that: "magnetic pull for balance." That's a nice thought!

    And as usual, you're right Leslie - it's ALL about us. Which gives us a lovely opportunity to check in on our own vibe and come back to balance. :)

    I discovered a theme of "disrespect" showing up in my life lately, and after pointing the finger at my sweetie for that, I realized it was also showing up in this slow payment, and in another relationship or two. Which was a big heads up that this is MY gig (as usual), not theirs.

    So my work was to start flowing the respect (love) to self. It didn't take long at all for everything else to clear up nicely, which I'm sure this one is in the process of as well.

    Thanks for posting, girlfriend. Your insight is always appreciated!

  3. Wow how beautiful is that - comes down to self-respect and self-love.
    Lol, doesn't it all always. I am so glad you see that for yourself Jeannette and can polish up the respect because I have a universe of respect for you and all your readers and clients do too! We showed up to help you practise receiving.

    Love Leslie

  4. Mmm, practicing receiving. You do give good practice, my friend!

    Hey, get a load of this excerpt from Bif Naked's "I Love Myself Today":

    I love myself today
    Not like yesterday
    I'm cool, I'm calm
    I'm gonna be okay! Uh huh

    Gonna step right up. Spit shine my soul
    I'm gonna be proud and loud and outta control!

    I'm lookin' in the mirror and I like what I see

    I thought it might be a song about something else when Rick shared the title with me. lol It's growing on me!

  5. I love the part about being OK with or without the money. It takes the tension from it so resistance naturally lessens. :)

  6. It absolutely does, Alora. The trick is getting there - when we're attached to getting paid, to just flip the switch and say "it's okay if I don't get the money" is easier said than done for most people.

    But if we can get to that point, that's where huge allowing starts!

    Thanks for your comment. It's nice to hear from you again!
