A sneak peak at the law of attraction…
Unless you have been living under a rock in recent years, you have at the very least heard the term LAW OF ATTRACTION. There are many modern teachers who are speaking on the law of attraction and how it affects our every day lives, but the LAW of attraction is ancient, as old as the Universe, and many teachers over the centuries of human existence have tried to explain it to human kind to varying degrees. Many law of attraction scholars can point directly to bible verses that speak on the law, and early industrial revolution tycoons used the law to develop huge business markets and vast personal fortunes.
The law states simply…That which is like is drawn unto itself…
Ok, so, what the heck does that mean and how does that help me in my life?
It means that things that are like each other are drawn together. It also means that things that you feel that are similar are drawn together, and things that you imagine are drawn together, and thoughts that you think that are similar are drawn together.
Here is where it gets interesting.
Law of Attraction scholars throughout the ages have all agreed that as we think, so we are, and what we think about, we create. So, everything in this universe started out as a thought, and that thought drew “like” thoughts to it and gained vibrational energy. More thoughts were then drawn to it and it became a thought-form, which then drew the “essence” of like thoughts to it as well until finally the vibration grew so strong and heavy, it slowed down and became a manifestation in the physical world!
Every thought that has ever been thought is energy, and since energy is never destroyed, every thought that was ever thought still exists. As we are vibrational readers of energy in our physical form, if we are in alignment with our TRUTH and in alignment with our souls and thus our universal source energy, we have access to all the thoughts and physical manifestations and desires of all the physical beings that went before us. We are the recipients off ALL the asking, praying and wanting and desiring of every being who has lived on earth.
WE create our own lives and our own realities by the way we think and feel. You can look around you and know this to be so. If a friend is constantly complaining about their lives and is always negative, you will notice that negative things are always happening to them. That is because they are always putting energy and thought into worrying about bad things. You will also notice that someone who is happy and upbeat and excited about life will always have something exciting and enjoyable happening in their life, because that is what they are focusing their attention on.
There are a lot of ways to have fun with the Law of Attraction and gain some confidence in using it in your daily life. You can write a list of how you want your day to go and then feel happy thoughts and forget about the list, only to check it the next morning and see that you can check off most or all of the things you wrote down. You can ask to see a certain type of bird, or find a penny, or hear from a friend, and in asking from a place of happiness, those things will be drawn to you.
Since this is only a sneak peak into the Law of Attraction, I have created a cheat sheet that will help you instantly apply it to your daily life. If you consistently apply these simple steps, you will see miraculous results in a very short time. As you get more comfortable with the law and with your spiritual evolution, you may choose to go deeper into the study of it and gain an understanding of the underlying principles at work.
A (bakers) dozen things you should know about the law of attraction:
1. That which is like is drawn unto itself—things that are alike, are drawn together like a magnet and that counts for things, people, events, thoughts, money, dis-ease, emotions and weather. That’s why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and if you wake up on the “wrong” side of the bed the rest of your day is shot until you think a better thought, but if you wake up with joy, saying yes to life and believing that wonderful things always happen to you—guess what? That’s what you get! Try it and see! Experiment, enjoy, explore. Its supposed to be enjoyable and exciting!
2. The Universe is INCLUSIVE. This means that it does NOT hear NO—it does not hear DON’T WANT. It only hears the “end of the sentence” in other words the essential focus of your desire. So, if you were to make a statement such as “I don’t want anymore war” you would be putting MORE energy into war. If you were to make a statement such as I don’t want to be FAT, you would be putting more energy into I am FAT and thus you would be getting more of the same. While its impossible to police the way you say and think things at all times, it’s a good exercise to write down your basic feelings about the issues you hold dear in your life and see if you are actually holding them in your reality by your “negative attraction” or resisting them. Its also a great idea to listen to your inner voice track (how you speak to yourself in your head every day) and see how much of what you are saying is positively stated and how much is negative. You can really see a lot of change once you replace those negative statements with positive ones. So, if you were always complaining in your head about how you didn’t want to be late for your appointments, you might replace that thought with, I always want to be on time for my appointments, and watch for a shift in your experience.
3. The universe is based on an unlimited supply of everything we could ever desire. There is ALWAYS more than enough of every possible thing for every single person in the physical. It is ONLY humans who believe there is a lack of resources, health, wealth, partners, homes, etc. If you believe in a limited supply and are jealous of your neighbor because he has what YOU don’t have, you are putting MORE energy into YOU not having it. If you believe that there is more than enough, and you feel good for your neighbor for having what you want, and seeing it as a sign that it is also possible for you, then you are putting more energy into YOU getting what you desire.
4. When you have sent forth a desire to the universe for something to manifest in your life, you will see clues along the way that it is getting ready to come into your world, and that is the time to be happy and expectant, but also to remember to be joyful about where you already are. If you have sent off a desire for a new home, and have thought about that new home, and have been thankful for the home you already have, you have done your job and handed the rest over to the universe. The universe loves to send us messages that a delivery is about to be made! So, you may see an add in the paper for the house that is close to the one you want, you may see a television program about easily buying houses, you may receive a recommendation about a real estate agent that is very good at buying houses for a fair price, you may see a friend purchasing a house similar to the one you want. These are all clues from the universe that your desire is on its way, and because LIKE attracts like…the MORE you see, and the more you are excited about and anticipating it coming and not rushing it or worrying about when it is going to get here, you are going with the flow right to the front door of your dream house.
5. You will find that you can create much more quickly and with much more success if you can be as general as possible in your desires and really focus on the “essence” of what it is you want. If you were to focus your desire on vibrant health, feeling great and having well being, and really get to understand the FEELINGS and essence of what goes along with that, you would get to where you want to go much more quickly than if you were over-focusing your desire on being 115 lbs, totally skinny with a flat belly, no wrinkles, long fingernails and full lips. Of course, the interesting thing is that you MAY well achieve all of those specific goals by focusing on the more broad aspects of your desire. The best part is that you will become the perfect YOU, and not your idea of what is the perfect you. If you allow the universe to take care of the details, and You take care of your feelings and the essence of your desires you will see remarkable changes.
6. The universe will bend over backwards to give you what you desire as long as you ask for it from a place of believing it is possible, are grateful for it, feel you deserve it and don’t ask too many questions about how its gonna happen. The universe has millions and millions of ways to bring you what you are desiring, so if you get too worried about HOW it is going to happen, you start to think it wont be possible and then you are actually pushing it away. Its also important to look into your heart and understand that if something you truly desire isn’t coming to you, it may be because You don’t believe you deserve it. Understand that from a soul perspective, we are ALL LOVED and ALL WORTHY of everything we desire, and once you remove that roadblock from your thoughts and feelings, what you desire will come to you.
7. Your world becomes WHAT you think it is. If you are thinking good thoughts, and feeling GOOD thoughts about the people you love, the job you do, the home you have, the children you have, etc., then the universe will show you MORE things, events and reasons why you should continue to feel GOOD about those things you are focusing on. If you are constantly worrying, complaining and moaning about the things in your life, how you feel, how little money you have, how much time you waste, etc, then the universe will deliver to you MORE reasons to continue to feel BAD about those things.
8. You can drive yourself crazy if you try and police every thought you have in order to “work the law of attraction” because the law of attraction actually works on how you are FEELING more than what you are saying. So, if you are thinking “ I want to be rich, I want to be rich, I want to be rich!” but really feeling—well, I am poor, but I want to be rich, you will get MORE poor.
9. It is not really the things you can obtain through the law of attraction that bring you happiness, but the feeling of being a creator of your own universe. It’s all about the ride and not the destination. You will find that as you become better and better at manifesting material things, you will realize it is the intangibles in life that you are truly desiring. You will then understand that the universe is truly all about happiness and joy and love, and when you have those things, all the other things will come to you quickly and easily if you desire them, because you wont be begging the universe for them in order to be happy—you will already BE happy, and they will only be the icing on the cake! This is so key! If you ask for something from a place of already being happy with who, where and what you are, then the rest is gravy, and you wont feel any worry about things coming or be wondering how long it will take, because it REALLY wont matter to you—and when you can feel that way its like opening up a giant super highway of creative energy that brings everything you desire right to your door.
10. While it is true that you create your own life through the thoughts you think and the feelings you feel, there is no benefit what so ever from beating yourself up over what you have or have not created in your life up to this point. Worry is the single biggest waste of human time on this planet. Being angry or upset with yourself for not meeting others or your own expectations of where you should currently be is a close second. Know that you are exactly where you should be in life at this present moment, and this NOW is the most important focus you can have. The past is ONLY a memory of things that came before and helped you to become the person you are today, and the future is ONLY unlimited possibility that is not yet taken form. It is only by focusing in the NOW and becoming as focused as you can on what you truly want that you can create the life you want. If you focus on self punishment or disappointment, the universe will deliver to you more of what you are focusing on.
11. There is no need to try and rush things. The universe will deliver to you what you desire when you are ready for it to appear in your life. This means that your vibration and your ability to maintain that vibration, and your ability to believe that you deserve something, and your ability to maintain that something in your life are all ready to go. If you try and rush things, or become impatient with your life, you may jump into something when you are not ready for it, and then it will not bring you the joy that it was meant to bring you. When something is ready to come into your life, you will have felt a wonderful anticipation, you will have thought about it with excitement and then the next thing you know, it is there in your life and it feels RIGHT. You will have no irritation, fear, feelings of disappointment or doubt, because you will know that it is there at the right time and YOU are in the right place to really enjoy it. So, if you were wanting to RUSH into a relationship with someone, but you really weren’t ready to be in that relationship, then you would experience great doubt and problems within yourself and with the relationship, but if you were letting things come as they should, you would come to the perfect place in your life for that relationship and it would blossom beautifully as it should. Everything happens at the right time if it feels good and joyful, so wouldn’t you want to wait for the right time to come? It IS coming!
12. You can make a difference in this world by your focus. Many people will look at reality and get “bogged” down in what is happening in the world and become disheartened and overwhelmed and wonder what they can do to change things. If you decide what it is YOU want to see in the world, and do your best to ignore (and thus not put energy INTO) the things you don’t want to see, your POSITIVE energy will work many times over to create what it is you want to see.
13. The law of attraction applies to what YOU want in your life. You cannot MAKE anything happen in someone elses life. You are here for one reason and one reason only. To bring YOURSELF joy, through the creation of your desires. This really is only about your happiness. The cool thing is that if you are happy, and joyful and creating the life YOU want, others who are around you will benefit from your energy and see your example of how to live an exciting, fulfilling life. Every single person on this planet has their own path and their own truth and everyone also has free will to do as they choose. As I have already discussed, there are no cut and dry rights and wrongs and everyone is going to WANT to create their own life. If you are asking someone else, something else, someplace else to CHANGE so that YOU can be happy, you will continue to struggle and draw more of what you don’t want to you. If on the other hand, you completely focus on your own joy and self love and desires, everyone else will happily take care of their own desires too. You may not particularly care for their desires, but they have a right to them, just as you do. It TRULY is all about you!
Secret Bonus: You don’t have to believe in the law of attraction. You don’t have to understand the law of attraction. You don’t have to actively “work” the law of attraction for it to be working in your life. It is always working even if you are not aware of it. It is how you have created your life and how everyone on this planet has created their lives for all of human time. Now you know the basics and you are aware that this law is out there delivering to you what you desire. Isnt it exciting to know you can consciously apply it and come into control of your own experience?
I could go on and on about the extensive scholarly study that has gone into the law and all the wonderful inspired teachers who have added to its foundations and assisted people in understanding and utilizing it in their lives, but that would be repeating thousands of pages of wisdom that can be found elsewhere. If you are interested in delving into the Law of Attraction I would recommend you do an internet search on the subject and see what is out there.
I can tell you truly that knowing about this law has helped me to achieve a wicked rocking life which continues to get better and better as my path unfolds before me!
