The Law of Attraction

What Does It Mean?

The law of attraction means that you attract things into your life based on your thoughts and your feelings.

"Every thought we think is creating our future."
-Louise L. Hay

Think of yourself as an energy field sending out energy (both positive and negative) and receiving more of the same as what you’re sending out. In other words, like attracts like.

Whether you’re aware of it or not, the law is at work all the time.

If you’re in a negative state of mind, feeling sorry for yourself, complaining, using phrases like, “Just my luck,” then you can expect more of the same negativity to come into your life. Whereas, if you’re in a positive state of mind, and are comfortable with positive thinking, then you’ll receive more positive things in your life. Either way, your thoughts and feelings are calling forth further experiences into your life—both good and bad.

Law of Attraction teacher, Lisa Nichols, explains this law as working in the same way as if you go to a restaurant. When you go to a restaurant you place your order with the waiter, and then you get what you ordered. It’s the same in life. You make a statement, you expect something to happen (good or bad) and what you’ve stated would happen or expected to happen manifests in your life.

This concept scares a lot of people.

There have been countless case studies, scientific experiments and testimonials to prove that your thoughts really do attract things to you, yet many people strongly oppose it, especially after the movie, “The Secret,” came out. It’s an important tool for improving your personal circumstances and we highly recommend you either see the movie and/or read the book. “The Secret,” explains the law of attraction with countless examples and suggestions on how to get the life you really want. While it improved the lives of many, it made just as many people uncomfortable with this new concept. Why?

Because acknowledging that there the law of attraction really works gives people a lot more power over their lives than they may be comfortable with. It makes people take full responsibility for their lives and thus stop blaming others and really doing what they know they are capable of doing.

Instead of being afraid of taking responsibility, embrace it. Think of how amazing it is to have control over your life. You create your life. That’s cause for celebration, not fear.

Many people still complain about their situation and complain that this law doesn’t work, but don’t give it a fair chance. The fact is that it does take some work on your part to break negative thinking habits, commit to improving your actions, having faith that the law of attraction is working, and allowing for a little bit of time to see your desires manifest.

How to Live The Law of Attraction:

Once you’ve accepted that you are responsible for your life as you are responsible for your thoughts and feelings, you’ll understand the need to control your thoughts and learn to tap into the power of positive thinking.

Things like using positive affirmations and learning how to switch your negative thoughts into positive thoughts is a key element in using this law to your advantage.

The most fun part of accepting the law of attraction is visualizing what you want. As stated in the movie, “The Secret,” “Thoughts become things.”

It’s that simple. Learn to see yourself living the life you want—imagine it, feel it, get used to it.

Also, take time to learn more about vision boards.

Just like you’re in a restaurant placing your order, visualizing what you want helps to manifest your desires. You need to believe that what you’ve sent out into the universe is yours—it’s on its way to you.

You must also be close attention to your words. Stop using sarcasm and self-deprecating humor. This will only keep your frequency negative (and you want to be sending out positive frequencies).

Also, pay close attention to your actions. Are you wanting to quit your job but not looking for a new one? Are you angry with your spouse but not talking directly to them and putting forth a solution? These are steps that coincide with your positive thinking, visualizing and overall self improvement.

Sometimes, it may appear as though it isn’t working. It may take some time to see big changes, especially if you’ve been negative for a long time. Commit to practicing some of the suggestions outlined here and open yourself to the life you want.

And remember, the law of attraction is always working.

If you are very resistant to this idea, ask yourself why. If you’re scared because of actually having your dreams come true, you’re not alone, but you need to take stock of what you really want. If you’re resistant to this idea because you don’t believe it, you’re not alone either. Why not try it? We believe it works. It works for us, it’s worked for other people. Why not you too?
