Do you actually know how the Law of Attraction really works?
If anyone thought yes, then they really need to rethink the idea of the law of attraction. The law of attraction is always happening in our lives, whether we choose to recognize it or not. We have no control over turning it on or off, or choosing to use it only when we want to. So, if it is something always present in our lives, isn’t it in our best interest to understand it and maybe try to make it work towards our greater good?
How the Law of Attraction works
If I still have anyone’s attention, let’s revisit how the law works and then how we can use it to our benefit. First, the law of attraction responds to the vibration we carry in our energetic field. Our energetic field is reflective of who we are, which is our thoughts and feelings. Yes, we like to think of ourselves as our titles, the things we own, and the groups we belong to, but who we truly are is indeed our thoughts and feelings. This is what the law of attraction responds to.
Second, the way the law works universally for us on Earth versus how it functions in regard to Source or the Universe are quite different. Here in our earthly existence, we reap what we sow, or we attract energies similar to our own, but like does not attract like from Source. The reason being, Source is only positive loving energy, so it does not bring forth negative energy or experiences to those who exist in a negative state of being or vibration.
A negative person only attracts negative energies from other people or things here on Earth. Source is always trying to bring us goodness and abundance, we either accept it or we block it. We accept what Source offers by being in positive alignment or vibration with Source. We block Source by being in a negative state of mind which is out of alignment with Source, but to be clear, Source does not bring us negativity.
Taking the law of attraction to the next level to bring us what we do not already have is through manifestation. Manifestation is first being grounded in a positive mental state which aligns us with Source and thus opens many doors of opportunity. Next, is imagining or visualizing how it feels to have what it is we are seeking to manifest. Because we do not have it, we need to program our thoughts with the idea or vibration of having it; it all begins with a thought. Carrying this feeling of having already what we want in our energy field allows for the law of attraction to respond beneficially.
How the law of attraction works is simple; the difficult part is clarifying our minds of negative thoughts and emotions so we can exist in a positive state of awareness. This may require us checking in with the quality of our thoughts and feelings throughout the day. If we recognize we are negative in our thinking, then we need to make a conscious decision to change the quality of our thoughts in that moment.
A good method for this is to use positive affirmations. They really do work to help change our mental focus and reprogram our thinking to be more positive. After doing this for a period of time, we will eventually reprogram our subconscious mind (the mind which works behind the scenes) to automatically respond to life in a more positive way, which further influences us to think positively and attract a more positive life for ourselves.
Focus on positive thoughts
At the end of the day, the law of attraction is not old news. Perhaps the way we were trying to use it by telling the Universe what we want through lists and vision boards is the old news. Yes, they can be good tools to remind ourselves to think and feel in accordance to what we are seeking in life, but they influence us alone. We do not need to spend our time focusing or thinking about the law of attraction all the time. However, if we focus on our positive thoughts and feelings, then we can rest assured we will attract more positive scenarios in our lives. Yes, tragedies will still happen, we are human and life ebbs and flows, but a person who is positive in their thinking will be more grounded and emotionally stable to handle life’s blows.
One final note, regardless of the law of attraction, we notice in life what we focus on. If we focus on the positive, we will see more of the positive and the same goes for focusing on negativity. This world will always exist in both a positive and negative state. We all have free will to choose our focus and thus the environment we experience for ourselves. I hope we all can agree this life would best be experienced in a positive and enjoyable way, but the choice is ours alone to make.
