Of all the universal laws, the law of attraction
is both the most fascinating and the most misunderstood. Fascinating,
because as humans we naturally want a tool to help create the life of
our dreams, and the law of attraction can certainly help us to do that.
Misunderstood because, unlike a tool that we can pull out and use now
and again but is otherwise inactive, the law of attraction is operating
in our lives constantly and independently, whether we are consciously
aware of it, or believe in it, or not.
In other words, there is no need to engage the law
of attraction, it is already at work in your life and always will be.
So long as you are alive and breathing, the law of attraction is at
work. This is great news! You are already using the law of attraction
to create everything in your life whether you realise it or not. The
results that you are experiencing: your career, finances,
relationships, health, home, community, and so on, are a direct result
of the law of attraction and your interaction with it in the form of
thoughts and feelings.
If you’re not creating the kind of life you want
though, chances are you are creating by default, allowing the law of
attraction to bring you more and more of the same. Unfortunately, we
weren’t handed a life manual at birth and, for many of us, our parents
were not aware of the law of attraction and so did not teach us. At Attract Like Magic
we are dedicated to helping you understand this powerful universal law
and how you can begin to use the law of attraction to consciously
create the life of your dreams. On the Attract Like Magic
site, and in upcoming newsletters and articles, we will explore
everything to do with the law of attraction and provide tools that will
help you to harness its power.
But in order to really understand the law of
attraction, you first need to understand another of the universal laws,
the law of vibration.
Law of Vibration
According to the law of vibration everything is
made of energy and has a distinct frequency or vibration. With the
advent of powerful enough technology, science now agrees. Quantum
physicists have shown that, although matter may appear to be solid,
when you look at it through a high-powered microscope so that it is
broken down into its smallest components: molecules, atoms, neutrons,
electrons and quanta (the smallest particles measurable), it is
ultimately mostly empty space interspersed with energy.
In other words, at the quantum level, everything
is comprised of energy and empty space and what makes you, your home,
your car, the chair you’re sitting in, seem solid is the frequency of
the vibration of the energy that makes it up.
Not only does your body and all that you consider
to be “you” have a distinct and unique vibration
(or more correctly a mix of vibrations), but your creations, in the
form of thoughts, also have distinct vibrations which affect or blend
with your overall vibration.
In turn, your vibrations affect everything around
you – your environment, the people and animals around you, the
inanimate objects, even the seemingly ‘empty’ space and they, in turn,
affect you. That’s why, when you walk into a room where there was an
earlier argument, you can sense it. We even use terms like “bad vibes”,
“you can feel the tension”, and “you could cut the air in here with a
knife” to describe it. In each case what we are referring to is the
energy imprint of the earlier occupants.
Similarly, you may have gone to someone’s home,
office or business where, as soon as you entered, you felt the “good
vibes” that filled the place. That’s because, over time, a place
becomes imbued with the energy imprints of the dominant vibrations of
the people who live or work there. So a home, for example, can
literally become filled with love or tension or anger or sadness or any
other emotion, and that home will feel that way to a visitor even if
none of the regular occupants are at home at the time. If you’ve ever
entered such a place you may even have noticed how you just relaxed and
felt good in response to the “good vibes” around you. Of course, the
extent to which you take on the vibrations of the people and things
around you is up to you – but for most people, this is not a conscious
decision.
So, you are giving off vibrations every second of
every day. You are also simultaneously receiving and translating the
vibrations of everything and everyone around you. If we use the analogy
of television, you are both a television transmitter, beaming out your
own unique station, and also a television set or receiver, able to tune
in to all the stations or frequencies being broadcast around you.
Sometimes we refer to these incoming vibrations as intuition or “gut
feelings”.
So how do you know what your vibration is at any
moment?
Simple - ask yourself how you are feeling.
Your emotions are a quick and handy guide to your
vibration in any moment. If you feel loving, you are vibrating at the
frequency of love; if you feel angry, you are vibrating at the
frequency of anger; if you feel curious, you are vibrating at the
frequency of curiosity, and those vibrations are received by everything
and everyone around you. You are also, through the law of attraction,
bringing to you more experiences that will match this vibration so when
you feel angry the law of attraction will bring to you more experiences
that will elicit the feeling of anger, you will attract angry people
and find yourself in the middle of angry situations.
Have you ever had a day where you felt lousy, but
tried to pretend that everything was OK to family, friends or
co-workers? It doesn’t work does it? Your friends, family or co-workers
know straight away that you are not how you are pretending to be. They
may ask if something is wrong, or comment that you don’t seem to be
your normal self. They pick up on the incongruence between what you are
saying and your vibration. Because we are not used to explaining in
terms of vibrations, they may attribute their knowing to something more
mundane like tone of voice or body language, but even people without
the full use of their senses can detect this type of incongruence.
To sum up, you are sending out vibrations every
moment of every day. Those vibrations are a mix of your thoughts and
feelings and they affect everything around you. At the same time you
are also receiving and translating the vibrations of everything around
you (which can, in turn, affect your vibration by how you react to
them). Now that we understand vibration, let’s look at how it interacts
with the law of attraction.
Law of Attraction
The law of attraction, simply put, means energy
attracts like energy. You may also have heard it expressed as “like
attracts like’, “that which is like unto itself is drawn” and even
“thoughts become things”.
The law of attraction is at work in your life
every minute of every day. Your vibrations are constantly being
broadcast to, and received, by the universe. This activates the law of
attraction which then matches your vibrations and attracts to you
similar vibrations in the form of people, things and situations in your
life. In other words you are always creating your life through your
thoughts and feelings. The conditions in your life, whether they are
what you want or not, are always a match to your dominant vibrations.
The law of attraction, like all the universal
laws, operates whether you are aware of it or not, or believe it or
not. The often-used terms “what you focus on grows”, “careful what you
wish for (cause you just might get it)”, “birds of a feather flock
together” and “you can’t get enough of what you don’t want” are all
examples of ways that we describe the law of attraction in action.
So, the question becomes - if your life is not how
you would wish it to be, how do you change it? And the answer most
often given by law of attraction and personal development teachers is a
simple one - change your thoughts.
Simple - yes, but not easy. Here’s why.
Somewhere between 94 - 98% of all thoughts are
subconscious, that is, below or out of conscious awareness which means
that only 2 – 6% of your thoughts are ever conscious. So, even if you
managed to change all of your conscious thoughts to be positive, that
still leaves an awful lot of subconscious thought, at least some of
which would be negative, vibrating away in the background without you
even being aware of it! If you’re having trouble creating what you want
in life, chances are your subconscious mind is at fault.
In our next article we will explore the
subconscious mind and how it can interfere with your Law of Attraction
efforts.
