What is the Law of Attraction?

In this article, you will learn about the Law of Attraction, and you will see how you are already part of the Universal intelligence that runs through all of nature. When you can tune into that nature, you will have discovered the Universal power of attracting what you want.

In it’s simplest form, the Law of Attraction states that the conditions of our life are the result of all that we have attracted to ourselves through our thoughts, focus, and energy. Whatever we choose to direct our attention toward, we will manifest (create). If you know exactly what you want, focus on the feeling of experiencing it, and direct your energy to what is already available in the Universe, then what you want will become available to you. On the other hand, if all of your thoughts, focus and energy are directed to how awful your life is, then you will attract into your awareness all that is awful, bringing more proof of suffering, and a lack of visible opportunities.

But if it is that simple, then why do some people struggle to create a life they love living, and why doesn’t everybody simply direct their thoughts, focus, and energy to attract wealth, health, and love in their lives?

The Law of Attraction combines science and spirituality in a way that requires a careful understanding. Many people have either not yet heard about the Law of Attraction, or they’ve tried to use it’s principals, and have had little success. With practice, you can learn how to use this Law to live the life you would love living. The proof will be in the results.

How Does Manifestation Work?

To manifest anything in life, you have to work with the nature of the thing that you wish to attract. For example, think about the nature of electricity. Electricity has always existed within the Universe. We didn’t invent it. It was always present and fully available to mankind, but it wasn’t until mankind was ready to learn about it and understand its nature that we could begin to harness its invisible power for use in our lives.

Electricity can be found in the clouds in lighting, as well as inside of our bodies and brains. In everyday life, you use electricity to power your lights, appliances, and gadgets. And, even though you use electricity everywhere, you still have to play by its rules. It only comes to you when you use its Laws and its own unique nature to bring its power to you.

Manifestation works the same way.

The Principals

Some attraction principals may seem obvious. Like-minded people are attracted to each other. Negative people seem to cluster together and drain energy from us. Determination to do something can bring results. Having a negative attitude can add to failure. We know these things intuitively, yet “intuition” remains a scientific mystery. Researchers in the field of psychology have found that people who “feel” lucky tend to have more success than people who feel unlucky. Studies with athletes who “visualize” their performance and “play out” the sport in their mind show that those athletes tend to excel over those who do not visualize.

Here are 4 important principals to consider.

“Like” thoughts attract “like” circumstances, that is, “Like attracts like”. If you’re focusing on how something can work, then solutions seem to appear. When we focus on why something can’t work, we see no solutions, and close our minds to possible positive outcomes.
Your life circumstances are exactly aligned with your frequency (focus and attention). Your life is playing out in the way that it should, given the thoughts that you have had up until now. Most of the results and circumstances you have in your life today are the result of past choices. These choices were all that were available to your awareness in the past when you were making decisions. The good news is that this can change, and the power to “change the channel” for the flow of attraction is in your hands (and mind). It’s similar to when you tune the television frequency (channel) to CBS and you see only that broadcast. But if you change the channel, you change the frequency of the signal received by the television, and you can now choose the Discovery Channel, or the Cooking Channel, or ESPN! In all of those cases, the broadcasts are already happening, and you only need to tune in to recieve them.
You must interact with the nature of the Law of Attraction in the way that it works. In order to “change the channel”, you have to know exactly which frequency to choose. You don’t have to understand the invisible waves that are sent to your television from the satellite, but you must know exactly where to tune in, or else the channel you want will not be found. The Law of Attraction works on its own frequency, and your job is to tune in to it, and be ready to receive.
You must be open to Receiving. The big myth about the Law of Attraction is that you only have to think about something you want, and then just wait for it to appear. Nothing in nature works this way. Every transmitter has to have a receiver. If I don’t have a television in my house, how am I supposed to be able to watch CBS, or CNN? If I don’t have an outlet in my wall, how will my lamp receive electricity? The Law of Attraction will require you to move around and take some action in order to be able to receive it’s power and abundance. You will need to start honing your Awareness antenna, and get moving on the Path so that you can recieve the signals and opportunities that are already available.

The Science of the Law of Attraction

Law of Attraction purists believe that the laws of physics are extended to the Law of Attraction. That is, that the constant movement and vibration of particles, electrical charges, and frequency of waves are connected to our thoughts; that these forms of energy are in communication with each other. This is related to “quantum entanglement”. The belief is that thoughts and attention attract “like” abundance, people, and circumstances because these thing are of “like” energy from a scientific perspective.

Skeptics believe that the use of quantum physics as an explanation for good fortune is a stretch. But most people, regardless of their belief in how the Law of Attraction works, will agree that you must focus on outcomes in order for them to manifest. After all, even the lottery winner had to think about winning, and then buy the ticket! Everything that is created in the physical world is created in the mind first.

One thing that science cannot explain is how ideas or thoughts arise in the first place. We don’t know where the “mind” or feelings are actually located. This opens the door to infinite possibilities. We also know scientifically that the brain conducts activities that produce energy, and that brain “waves” can be measured. We know that feelings produce chemical reactions, such as the release of stress hormones, or “happy” chemicals like endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin. Furthermore, there is an Intelligence in the body that beats our hearts, pulls air through our lungs, fights illness, and mends itself. Science has biological and physiological explanations for these things, but there is nothing that explains science itself.

We Are the Law of Attraction

Every particle in your body came from a cosmic event. Scientists have shown that all life on earth was created by activity from stars in the Universe. Your body is made up mostly of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus, which is found in almost all of nature. All matter in the Universe is a form of energy. Therefore, you are very similar to all of nature. The Law of Attraction works with this nature because everything you desire in life is made from the same type of energy. Your mind, thoughts, imagination, creativity, focus, and awareness are not physical. They can only be explained as being a type of energy. You are already made up of all that you desire. On a deep cellular cosmic level, you are already connected to what you want.

Getting on The Path

The Law of Attraction works when you harness it. Everything you want is fully available right now in the Universe. It has worked for me, and others. Somebody else is living your dream life right now, and there is plenty available for you too.

Getting on the Path means becoming your thoughts and energy. If you want more money or abundance, you must become abundant first with your thinking, feelings, and attention. For example, Gratitude is a form of feeling thoughts of abundance. When you become your thoughts and energy, you will be able to receive the things you want, because those things will flow to you like the stream that flows to the ocean; like attracts like. But you have to get onto the Path in the first place. To do this, the most important things you must do right away are:
