Is the Law of Attraction Real of Just Hype?

By Dillen Mulders


The law of attraction is essentially a belief or theory, that "like attracts like," and that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts, you attract positive or negative results. Basically you attract into your life whatever you think about, whether you want it or not. So if you "truly" believe your thoughts, you literally have the power to consciously and deliberately choose what you want in life. What kind of money do you want to make? While the law of attraction has received quite a bit of publicity these days, the concept has been around for centuries and has been known (and used successfully) by many great minds throughout history. It has been written in books that there is evidence the law of attraction was used by Beethoven, Einstein, and even Jesus. Many wonder why it works, and there are reams upon reams of anecdotal evidence confirming it does.

Scientists studying the natural Law of Attraction refer to the energy as a "vibe" or "vibration" (everything has a vibrational frequency), this is where the sayings "good vibes" and "bad vibes" stemmed from. Have you ever been introduced to somebody and immediately picked up a "bad vibe", this is because the frequencies and energy you're both radiating aren't in alignment, therefore there's conflicting energy on a subconscious level.

Although we are unaware of the influence our subconscious mind has on us, it is directly influencing our conscious mind so when your vibes aren't in alignment with the other person you'll immediately get the signal of bad vibes from your conscious mind.You certainly don't need any psychic abilities or such like in order to pick up on the vibes that others are radiating, everyone is picking up these vibes on a subconscious level whether they are aware of it or not. We are always being influenced and stimulated by these vibes.This is how the Law of Attraction works, remember everything is energy or "vibes" and has a frequency so the vibes you're transmitting are drawing the same vibes back to you. Similar to the example above except the energy that the universe is comprised of is responding to the energy you're radiating.

Most people think about what they don't want instead of thinking about what they do want. As gay men, when we walk down the street, some of us think about what might happen if we run into a homophobe and how they might react to us. At work some of us think about how our co-workers might respond to us. When we go to the theater or to the market with other gay men, we wonder if people recognize we're gay. But what happens if we "stop" thinking about what we're afraid of and "only" think about what we want? Now I will admit it takes some practice to be aware of our thoughts and to consciously learn to change them. But luckily as humans we can discern and choose to think about what we want. One way to quiet the mind and get control of your thoughts is to consider practicing meditation. Once you start to catch and change your thoughts, you are on your way to creating and obtaining the life you want.

Benjamin Franklin said "energy and persistence conquer all things". Once you understand how the law of attraction works then its up to you to transmit even more powerful thoughts by adding feeling and clarity to what you are wanting. You deserve all the good things life has to offer so use persistent thinking to summon them to you. If you're having a bad day, try to think of events or memories that make you feel good to shift your paradigm back to attractive thinking. Think of who you love, or bring back fun or happy times that make you smile.Writing down your goals and looking at them every day can help you stay focused on what you're trying to attract. Another way to stay on focus is to place pictures of what you want where you will frequently see them.When you really start to have conscious thoughts (imagination, visualization) about what you want to create or attract, you literally change (I mean physically) and as a consequence of these changes (thoughts), you start to have a new belief system, which determines a new attitude, which then determines new actions (acting, speaking, thinking), which give you different results (a.k.a. getting what you wanted to create or attract).

Think about what it is you truly believe. Do your thoughts lack when it comes to what you desire? These doubtful thoughts can be from how you grew up and can keep you from attaining the life that you want. Discover the thoughts that could be keeping you from "full" belief in the law of attraction and from your best life.Be grateful for the things you have and you will attract more of them. Use your imagination to "literally" start seeing yourself already having what you want. When you accept all possibilities your subconscious mind has nothing to resist and becomes free to accept the new choice you are presenting it with. Make peace with all that is happening to you and accept the rewards that come your way.

We all work hard to make things happen for ourselves, and then when the world offers then to us, often we don't take them. Use the law of attraction to bring what you want, then let go of past habits and happily receive what you deserve.The basic premises of The Law of Attraction is "like attracts like", or as it's officially stated, "That which is like unto itself is drawn."Remember that everything is energy and that all energy vibrates at certain frequencies.Thus, as per The Law of Attraction, lower vibrational energy attracts more lower vibrational energy. (think fear, hate, jealousy, etc.) Higher vibrational energy attracts more higher vibrational energy, such as love, happiness, joy, etc.

ALWAYS Show Gratitude.Now, here's the problem I see all to often, many people are focusing their attention and energy on the things that they don't have! This is completely the wrong approach as you're sending out vibes of need and want! Instead be grateful for the things that you do have, each day show appreciation for being blessed with these things and you'll be radiating a much more positive vibe.This really is key as you'll gradually realize that you are actually already better off than most (third world countries for instance).

This one approach alone can really bring about some profound changes if you truly adhere to it and continue to show gratitude and appreciation.Keep Doing The Things That Make You Feel Good.This final tip is one I picked up from Bob Proctor and Mary Morrissey's 11 Forgotten Laws and sounds so obvious but it is astonishing the number of people who don't allow time for the activities they enjoy! If you enjoy a particular activity then it makes sense to do if more often right? Of course it does! The problem is far to many people become consumed by routine and don't engage in these activities.Make note of the things that make you feel good, it doesn't have to be expensive or time-consuming. Even simple things such as making more time for old friends and acquaintances is a sure-fire way to feel good about yourself and more fulfilled.Not only doe this technique help speed up the process of the law of attraction but it is also going to help you enjoy life more which is another important step in manifesting your dreams alone!
