According to the law of attraction you will get what you think about. If you think in a negative way, bad things will happen; if you think positively good things will happen. It can be taken even further by attributing all the good or bad things that happen to us to the way we think. Wikipedia gives an example of someone receiving an envelope in the mail. Positive thought will produce a check, negative thought will produce a bill.Does the law of attraction work in this way? I don't think so: whatever is in the envelope is in the envelope. It's your attitude to what the envelope contains that makes the difference. A negative person will focus on the fact they cannot afford to pay the bill; a positive person will focus on ways to pay the bill. They will decide what action they can take to get the money to pay the bill. This will attract positive, constructive thoughts that will eventually lead to a solution. That is the way law of attraction works.
Most people spend their waking hours in the mind state of beta, which keeps them from accessing and growing their inner power. In beta, your mind is bombarded with never ending thoughts. Beta is known as the logical and restrictive mind. High levels of beta are associated with stress related symptoms such as feelings of being overwhelmed, sleeping problems, and aches. When you are trying to make the law of attraction work for you, it is to your great advantage to focus on your goals when you are deeply relaxed. Why is a relaxed mind important? A mind that is filled with stress (emotional or physical) cannot easily transfer new positive mental pictures to the sub-conscious mind.
In order to successfully control your life circumstances using the law of attraction, there are three phases that you must undergo. The first phase is you must know what you want to achieve. Knowing exactly what you want and ask for it. In other words, you must focus on what you want, rather than on what you don't want. All the successful people throughout history have had one characteristic inherent within them that is they are clear with what they want to achieve. They have great drive and passion to pursue their dreams. As a result, they thrive and succeed in their endeavours.
It is not important to remember the details of the different mind states. The important point is to become aware that you can use the powers of these deeper levels of your mind to create a better world for yourself and for others.Ancient wisdom teachers, such as shamans and alchemists, teach that we are part physical and part spiritual beings. In other words, each of us has a spiritual counterpart. We all have a Higher Self, a higher force that always is trying to help us evolve and grow our personal power. It is through our higher selves that we get the guidance we need to live deeply happy lives, to make wise financial decisions, to heal our bodies, to choose partners for our highest good and to get insights on difficult life decisions.
Some people are turned off by the whole "Law of Attraction," metaphysical, New Age thing and honestly, I can understand that. Personally, I love seeing the magic and wonder of life and enjoy seeing things as miraculous, but that's just me. So, when you see me referring to the Law of Attraction, what exactly am I talking about? Let's just break it down for a moment. Law of Attraction followers generally intend, visualize, focus, look for signs, act, think positively, manifest, and stay grateful. Sounds a little "different" with "intentions" and "manifestations." But to put that in other terms, you set goals, visualize (as an athlete does), watch for opportunities to reach those goals, act, have faith, and are thankful when it happens. Doesn't sound nearly as mystical, does it? Let me expand a bit step by step.
These laws are set in stone so to speak and cannot be changed or altered in anyway, they apply to everyone and everything and are always at work whether we are aware of it or not.Among these universal laws is the law of attraction which states that we can attract that which we desire into our lives through the power of our thoughts and quite literally become the masters of our own destiny, or as Napolean Hill once quoted the "the captains of our souls".In essence the law of attraction attracts to you that which you desire most and that which you focus your thoughts on most!
Everything going in your life whether it be relationships, financial status, well-being e.t.c is a direct reflection of your accustomed way of thinking and the nature of your thoughts.The Law of Attraction gained a lot of publicity back in 2006 when the film the secret was launched which was a documentary type film where some of the leading experts appeared on camera to give an insight into what the Law of Attraction is and how it works.The film was good for the newcomer who knew little or nothing about the law of attraction but at the same time it really only touched the tip of the iceberg and gave no reasoning regarding how this powerful law of the universe works or its true origins.
Focusing keeps us intent on actively looking for ways to help us reach our goals. It helps us see the opportunities showing up in our lives and reminds us to act when they appear. A side benefit of this one is that is really will help you to appreciate the moment. If we are looking for opportunities and good things in life, we are living more in the moment than if we are worrying about the future or grumbling about the past.
Likewise, the person selling you the hamburger would rather have the dollar. Before the exchange, you have a dollar, but you want a hamburger. He or she has a hamburger but would rather have the dollar. After the exchange you are both better off.This is true for every single exchange you can make. Working for an employer, making an investment, selling stuff at a garage sale, selling stuff on eBay, or selling your services from home as a writer.
So although not directly related to manifesting your desires through thoughts as the law of attraction states, but you can see the closely related theorem of your actions and thought processes literally morphing into physical entities, meaning you're attracting into your life that which you are giving out.It was in the nineteenth century that the law of attraction had made its presence in the Western hemisphere where people had started to understand and treasure the power of maintaining a positive attitude and positive thought processes and had started applying this new found knowledge in their own lives.So it's clear that the law of attraction had been referenced and practiced long before any new age movements started to surface. Many wise men including the Monks understood that mans belief can directly impact their path of fate as well as the journey they would take in order to reach their final destination!
