Law Of Attraction Part I – Understanding The Law Of Attraction
The LOA is a universal law of nature and not the whim of some new age gurus. Whether or not you are aware of it or believe in it, you and everyone on the planet are under the influence of this powerful law. No one is exempt! Think you can defy the law of gravity? It operates whether you believe it or not. Same with the LOA.
So what is the Law of Attraction? How can you use it to improve the quality of your life? In its simplest form, the Law of Attraction states: “that which is like unto itself, is drawn.” Initially, practitioners of the law did not understand how it worked, but knew that it did by their experiences. Finally, in the 21st century, science—mostly the field of quantum physics—is validating that our thoughts, beliefs, words, and feelings all affect the results in our life. They have shown how these emanations from us are forms of energy, and this energy impacts the world around us. If you’ve seen the movie, “What the Bleep Do We Know?” you may have been impressed by several of the examples of how this law operates. Dr. Masaro Emoto’s experiments with water molecules and their reaction to emotion was most compelling and convincing.
Another way to state the LOA is: you attract into your life that which you focus on. Are you attracting what you want or what you don’t want? Where are you focusing your thoughts, words, and feelings? If you want more money, but your predominant thoughts are on lack and your low bank balance, your thoughts send out energy that attracts more lack. If you focus on the money you want to attract and visualize abundance and a high bank balance, you’ll send out energy that will draw more money into your life.
In Esther and Jerry Hicks’ landmark book, Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires, Esther Hicks channels a group of non-living entities called Abraham, who are the actual authors of the book. The wisdom of Abraham has been shared widely in books, tapes, and seminars. This book begins by reminding people of who they really are: “Do you know what you want? Do you know that you are the creator of your own experience? Are you enjoying the evolution of your desire? Do you feel the freshness of a new desire pulsing within you?”
The Abraham materials are a great place to start to study the LOA and learn how to use it in your life.
