Law of Attraction

Ever since the movie The Secret came out, everyone's talking about the Law of Attraction. While The Secret was a great beginning, it was just that, a starting point. As many teachers have already said, there is a great deal more to it than simply visualizing what you want to have and expecting it to appear.

We have heard about the power of our thoughts, but without powerful emotions behind our thoughts, they are just noise. Thoughts must be focused, clear, and consistent. Then they must be supported by positive emotions. If you focus on abundance while fearing loss, you will experience loss--in abundance. If you focus on having a loving relationship while resenting the last person you had a relationship with, you will experience love AND resentment in your new relationship.

Our emotions are the way we experience our rate of vibration, or frequency. A low frequency feels like sadness, irritability, frustration, or any number of other negative emotional states. High frequency states begin with love and include joy, enthusiasm, excitement, confidence, and most of all, gratitude. Gratitude is so important that it was mentioned repeatedly in The Secret. Gratitude is the bridge between negative emotions and positive emotions.

Gratitude is the bridge. If you can find something to be grateful for in the midst of your anger, fear, depression, or resentment, then you can change your emotional state and your frequency. The more you focus on feeling grateful, the more you raise your frequency. When you get to a state of joy and love, that is the time to focus on what you desire to experience. If you try to create from a negative emotional state, you will only create more of the negativity you want to change. Your first priority has to be getting yourself into a positive emotional state-consistently.

Do you wonder if the Law of Attraction is real? Look honestly at your life and you will find many instances where you attracted into your experience either the things you needed or the things you feared. Fear is a powerful emotion that draws to you the very thing you fear. Love is the most powerful emotion and it draws to you that which you love. Examine your life and you will see that it is your emotional state more than your thoughts that attracts to you particular experiences.

Believe or don't believe, it makes no difference. The Universe functions by very specific natural laws with or without our knowledge of them. The wise will seek out knowledge of the way the Universe functions in order to better understand it and work in harmony with it. I have found my life to be much more joyful and successful when I strive to be and act in harmony with the natural laws of the Universe.

May you be true joy.
