An Introduction to the Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction can be explained as “like attracts like”. Everything that exists in our lives is a reflection of our own consciousness. Our lives are our thoughts made manifest. What you are experiencing in your life right now are your thoughts and beliefs being made manifest. Negativity attracts like experiences for us to experience. The universe allows us to experience our own negativity by reflecting it back at us so that we can learn from it and evolve.

Whether you believe an experience to be positive or negative, the Law of Attraction is always neutral and will create that reality for you regardless. The Law of Attraction will respond to our positive thoughts and beliefs by manifesting the things that we most desire.

In order to consciously apply the law of attraction to transform your life you need to take responsibility as it is you and nobody else who has created your life. That includes the things that you don’t like and that you might even blame other people for. Instead of blaming other people and situations for the things you dislike, become aware that they are simply the manifestation of negative thoughts and beliefs. They are the mirror in which the universe allows you to see the things in yourself that you are least fond of so that you can learn to change those things and evolve from the experience.

The universe is a field of vibration energy. Your thoughts are energy and negative thoughts vibrate more slowly than positive thoughts. These vibrations of energy attract similar vibrations. You can think of yourself as being like a TV set. A television tunes into different channels which are simply energy vibrating within a range of frequencies. Think of different experiences that you can have, both positive and negative as all occupying different channels. If you wish to have experiences that are not currently resonating with your frequency, then you have to tune your thoughts to match. Worrying about money tunes you into the channel that broadcasts experiences of financial difficulties. Knowing and believing beyond all doubt that you are wealthy already, is the most focused way of tuning perfectly into the wealth frequency channel.Things aren’t usually as black and white as just switching between channels.

It’s very difficult to stay positive or negative all the time and our energy will be the sum total of all our experiences both positive and negative.  So most of the time our lives will be a mix of positive and negative experiences.  But using the law of attraction we can learn to attract more of the positive experiences that we would like to have.  Understanding the law of attraction enables us to see the negative experiences in a different light.There is no need to fear negative experiences if we welcome them as challenges and opportunities for change.

Many of the books and films about the Law of Attraction tend to over simplify the process and make it seem as though all you have to do to attract a life of wealth, health and happiness is to simply change your thoughts.  Changing your thoughts is a conscious decision, but your subconscious mind can often be far more powerful than your conscious mind.At a subconscious level you may well be holding onto deep rooted beliefs and fears that have a greater influence over what you attract than you consciously realize.  Then there is your old friend the ego who will often challenge your efforts by telling you how irrational this ridiculous Law of Attraction really is.  I feel that the law of attraction is as much about letting go and healing these subconscious mind patterns as it is about adopting a positive attitude.

Positive Thinking and Re-Programming Your Mind

Have you ever heard of positive thoughts attracting good fortune? Or realized that more often than not the happy people in life are optimists? Have you ever observed that people who stay calm during the worst crisis are generally the ones who do not harbor negative thoughts? You must have noticed that most successful people have supreme faith in their abilities and believe that they deserve success.

If we open our eyes we will see examples of the miracles of positive thinking everywhere. Yet most of us end up spending half our lives worrying about or expecting the worst! Why? Have your worries ever actually stopped the problem or situation from occurring? Has expecting the worst ever made it easier to handle a crisis when it does happen? Isn’t it nicer to expect good fortune? At least you are saved the anxiety of spending hours expecting the worst. Isn’t it nicer to live a carefree life instead of spoiling our now thinking about tomorrow…when we are not even sure of what it might bring? However, the problem lies within your mind. It seems to control us. Even when we promise ourselves that we will think positive, it sneaks in negative thoughts and worries at every opportunity it gets.

Positive Thinking and Re-Programming Your Mind

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could learn to control our thoughts? If only we could control our mind instead of it working the other way? However, re-programming your mind requires a lot of effort at both the conscious and the subconscious levels of your brain. The following approaches might be of help:

Efforts at the Conscious level:

Positive Affirmations:

Telling yourself that you deserve the best constantly will help bring about a shift in your perception. For example, if you are constantly told you are a rubbish dancer, it doesn’t matter how much potential you really have – you will (sadly) start to see yourself as someone who cant dance. Also, if you tell yourself over and over again that you deserve the very best possible, you will slowly start to believe the affirmation, and it will become your reality.

Consciously diverting your mind-

Every time you catch your mind sneaking in dark thoughts, make a conscious effort to divert your attention to a positive thought. Just as anything that you do repeatedly becomes a habit, with time thinking positive will also become a habit.

Efforts at the Subconscious level:

Clinical Hypnosis-

Clinical hypnosis is a therapy through which a trained practitioner can delve into your subconscious and reprogram your mind. This is most beneficial to remove deep seeded negative thoughts, or even when your life is really suffering due to your constant negative thinking.

Subliminal messages-

This is a do-it-yourself approach. Subliminal messages have the power to influence your subconscious – there are even postive thinking subliminal cds. The fastest method of sending subliminal messages to your mind is with the use of audio based cds. In such Cds subliminal messages are either hidden behind music or are played in reverse (mixed with music). These messages are usually played past the level of our human hearing – i.e. above 20,000 Hz. People who believe in the power of subliminal cds claim that listening to them repeatedly can reprogram your mind and make it easier for you to control your thoughts.

The key to keeping a positive mindset no matter what, is to align your subconscious mind with your conscious thoughts – so that they are both working together to reach the same goal.
