Many may have heard this term tossed around lately: The Law of Attraction. The Secret. So, just what does the Law of Attraction mean?
Simply put: you attract into your life everything you think about. Yes, you read that correctly. Everything you think about.
The Law of Attraction is based on the principle that thoughts are energy, and energy attracts other energy. Hence, thoughts attract whatever you think about.
That is the basic explanation. Thoughts attracts the subjects to which they are comprised, but there are many levels to the Law of Attraction that are intertwined with the universal law.
Let’s build from the basic foundation of thoughts are energy. While thoughts are energy, the energy you place in those thoughts will help determine the outcome. It is possible to attract things you don’t want into your life due to negative energy, while you can attract everything you want if you’re placing positive energy with the thoughts.
Think of it this way. You are a magnet for energy. If you place positive energy into your thoughts, you will attract the thing you want most. For magnets, they will attract the polar opposite to make a complete connection, which is what magnets want the most.
The positive energy the magnets placed into the thought of finding their complete connection means that they are open to receiving the gift of complete connection. They get what they want.
But if the magnet thinks about finding a complete connection, but doesn’t place the right energy behind it, such as placing negative energy with the thought, it will repel what it wants.
When magnets of the same pole touch each other, they will repel. Why do they repel? Because it used negative energy to back its thoughts attracted exactly what it didn’t want: a pole of the same magnetism. If you think about what you want by way of what you don’t want, you will find you actually attract what you don’t want.
How do you attract what you don’t want? The law of Attraction is a funny thing, in that, you can actually attract what you don’t want when you think you are trying to attract what you do want. By placing negative energy in the thoughts and focusing on the outcome you don’t want to see, you will in fact see that very thing.
Yet, the same is true for positive thoughts, so don’t fret. When you think about something-a new car, a new job, whatever it is you want to attract into your life-when you think about it, and you focus all of your energy positively to what it is you want, you will see it attracted into your life.
Let’s say that you want a new job. Maybe you don’t like your current job or you need a new job, if you think about what type of job you do want, the universe will respond in kind.That’s how the Law of Attraction works. The universe will respond in kind to whatever thought you have; this is why the energy you placed behind thoughts is important.
Think of your energy as a support system to your wishes. By simply stating, ‘I want a new job,’ and not place any energy behind it at all, chances are that you will not find a new job, or you will find one that is unsatisfactory. Why? Because you didn’t support it.
Placing negative energy behind it, by saying I don’t want that job, chances are that the universe will respond by giving you the job you don’t want; because you placed the energy behind it.
By stating ‘I want a new job’ and then focusing on all the great things that job will bring you, the universe will receive that energy and return it to you, most likely in the form of the job you wanted, or a job that is better.
This is a fundamental breakdown of the Law of Attraction, from which a deeper understanding can be built upon. Once you have the basics in place, building upon it can come quite easily.
However, you may find moments where you are in doubt that the Law of Attraction is working for you. When you approach these moments, return to this article as a reminder of the foundation you have built.
