What IS the Law of Attraction?
There is in infinite amount of information available about this, and as we continue on our journey we will continue to post about our experiences and share any information we dig up with all of you. I guess what I’m trying to say is, it would be an act of true wizardry to fit it all on this one page. :) That said, I will do my best to give a basic overview of the Law of Attraction here.
It is very simple, but it can be hard to grasp. Essentially it is “like attracts like”. Just think of a magnet. The Law of Attraction works exactly the same way. The only difference is YOU are the magnet. YOU are attracting everything you are experiencing, whether you are consciously aware of it or not. If you ARE consciously aware of it, you can attract literally ANYTHING you desire.
How does this all work?
Essentially your thoughts and feelings are sending out a very specific vibration to the universe, and the universe is bringing you things that match that. So what you think and feel is what you are going to attract. If you’re feeling depressed or angry, you’re sending out a clear signal to the universe and it is going to be bringing more reasons to feel depressed or angry. If you are feeling happy and thankful, that also sends a clear signal to the universe and it will respond by bringing you more things to be happy and thankful for. But it can be so much more powerful than that. Literally you can attract anything you desire.
Let’s look at it from a scientific perspective.
Science tells us that the universe and everything in it is made of energy, and that energy attracts like energy. Now think about this for a moment. EVERYTHING is made of energy. The tree, the dog, you me, space, time, thoughts, feelings, dreams… It’s all energy. When you have a thought, that creates a very specific pattern of energy. Scientists have been able to monitor brain waves for years. This is simply a deeper understanding of exactly the same thing. Your thoughts and feelings which you are having continuously throughout your life are all essentially patterns of energy. Everything is essentially patterns of energy. Remember that energy attracts like energy. Essentially your thoughts and feelings, are sending out very specific patterns of energy to the universe, which is attracting matching energy patterns back to you.
The key to attracting what you really want lies in your emotions.
All you need to do is be conscious of what you are thinking and feeling and make sure that it is in alignment with what you truly want. And it’s so simple too, because your emotions will TELL you if what you are thinking and feeling is in alignment with what you truly want. If you’re feeling bad, you are not in alignment with what you want. If you are feeling good, you are in alignment with what you want. So, you just need to make sure you keep feeling good. :)
The problem is…
Most people are thinking and feeling about what they don’t want, and they wonder why they keep getting more of it. If you’re unhappy with your current situation, and you’re looking around at all the things you don’t like about it, you are thinking and feeling about all those negative things. This sends out a very specific signal to the universe and the universe will respond by giving you more of these things you don’t want. If you and thinking about something you desire from a place of wanting or needing, those are very specific signals you are sending. If you are saying, “I wish I could have a girl who truly loved me”, you are only going to ensure that you will continue to wish you had a girl who truly loved you. If you are saying “I NEED money or my life is going to fall apart!”, your monetary situation is only going to get WORSE.
The trick is…
What you really need to do is think and feel about what you truly want as if you already have it NOW. Think about it. If you send the universe a signal saying “I’m so happy I found someone who truly loves me!”, and you are truly FEELING those feelings of love and gratitude, then that is what you will attract. That is what the universe will deliver to you. And it works with anything. Anything you desire.
But remember…
The Law of Attraction is operating on the signal you are sending out. It’s not just what’s going on in your mind. Positive thinking alone isn’t enough. You need to see it as if it is already there and really FEEL it through and through. If you’re thinking “I’m so happy I have this new car”, but you are feeling “man, I’ll never get a new car”, that is not sending a clear signal of what you want to the universe, and you are not going to get what you want.
In order to get what you want…
You must create as clear of a picture of it in your mind as you can. Try to engage all of your senses in your imagination. The clearer a picture you have, the clearer the signal you send to the universe. But you really need to imagine yourself as BEING what you want NOW, and really FEEL the FEELINGS of having it NOW. If you can do that, the universe will bring it to you.
Don’t let your ego get in the way of what your soul truly desires.
Be aware of your resistance. Your resistance is your ego (the thinking part of your self) having a hard time coping with this new information it’s getting. The ego is clinging to all these “facts” we have built up in our minds from everything we’ve learned from our teachers, friends, parents, the media, etc… All these little lies like “oh there’s only one way you’re ever be able to do this”, or “this is just the way it is”, or “there’s no way you’ll be able to do this”, “you’re not rich enough, not smart enough, not brave enough, not pretty enough”, or “there’s just not enough to go around”, or “you don’t deserve anything better”. These are all LIES. You CAN have and DESERVE to have everything you desire. Your ego just needs to be made aware of this. It needs to integrate this information. There are many ways to go about quieting your ego and freeing yourself from your habits and old ways of thinking and we are going to gather as much of that information on this site as we possibly can.
Let the universe worry about HOW it’s going to happen.
The universe is infinite. There are an infinite number of solutions to any problem. There are an infinite number of ways to get what you want. You need to realize this. The universe always knows the shortest and most harmonious way between you and what you want. You DON’T need to worry about HOW it is going to come about, and you SHOULDN’T. You shouldn’t worry about ANYTHING! Just step back and let the universe do it’s job. Focus on the end result and let the universe figure out how you are going to get there. You will be pleasantly surprised with the results!!
The final step:
There is only one other thing you must do, and that is receive the gift. You need to bring yourself into alignment with what you are asking for. If you are asking for a better career, but you continuously pass up the opportunities that are presented to you, it’s going to be a lot longer before your dream is fulfilled. When the moment of opportunity is there, when the inspiration is there, and you can feel your soul tugging you in that direction, and that little voice inside you says, “GO!”, DO IT!!! Act, and when you do you will feel as if everything is falling into place, because it WILL BE.
That’s pretty much the gist of it.
It’s really a very simple concept that can be made very complicated because of our very complicated minds. There is an infinite amount of information about this available, because the universe is infinite, and this Law of Attraction is happening all the time. All you have to do is look for it, and you will start to see it everywhere. And as you learn how to truly ask for what you want and receive it, you are going to open up new possibilities beyond your wildest dreams.
