How Does the Law of Attraction Work?
I'm sure you have heard about the Law of Attraction. Maybe that's why you are here reading my articles. Maybe you have heard about it and believe in it. Maybe you have heard about it but don't believe in it. Maybe you have heard about it and would like to find out more.
So What Is It, Really?
The Law of Attraction is a natural law. And like other natural laws in this world, you cannot do much about it but accept that they exist. Just like gravity, the Law of Attraction works all the time. Even if you choose to believe it's not like that. (You can choose to believe that gravity doesn't work but then who do you blame when you stumble and fall?)
Just because you don't understand something you don't have to deny it.
Like Attracts Like
It is that simple. You attract what you think about. No matter what it is. And there is no exceptions. Our thoughts are powerful. But what is more powerful than our thoughts is our feelings. The way you feel will determine the things you are experiencing.
Have you ever noticed that when you are passionate about something, the very thing, or things like that will keep showing up? Like when you see your dreamcar and you really like it, you'll see cars like that all over the city. Does it sound familiar? That was what happened to me when I first drove the new Honda Civic and I liked it. It may not be the fanciest car around, but I am not a big fan of cars, and thought this will just do it for me. It's beautiful, fast and easy to drive. So I decided to get one. And now cars like that keep popping up behind every tree (Okay, after every mile stone. Or at every car park I pass by. There is at least one of them.)
When you think of a friend who you haven't talked to for a while, you will either hear someone mention his/her name or he/she will likely to call you. You know what I'm talking about. Or when you realize you fancy tall and bald men (or tiny and thin women, whichever suits you), men (women) like that will be showing up everywhere you look. You don't even have to think about it. Your mindset is in charge.
I'm sure you have experienced some of these at least once in your life.
What If I'm Attracting What I Don't Want?
Now you might say: alright, these are the fun things. But what about things I don't want yet they appear in my life? I don't want them, so how come I experience something I don't want? The fact is that it doesn't matter if you want or don't want a thing. You are still thinking about it. You are still feeling it. Isn't it true? You probably think like that: "Oh, I hope THAT won't happen. Oh, I wish I never had to ... (fill in the blank). It would be really terrible to... or I really don't want this and that" and the list could go on.
Can you see that you actually have the very thing you don't want in your mind? What's worse is that you even express your feelings about it. And this is what attracts it into your perception.
Does It Really Work?
Yes. The best thing about it that you don't even have to believe in it. I didn't. Not at all. For a long while after I first heard someone mention it. And then I got curious. I thought I'd give it a try and see if this stuff really works. So, what I did first was that I decided to be happy and kind to everyone I met. So I went to a shop where I knew the shop assistants were usually grumpy. Guess what - they smiled at me. Then when I went to the airport with my mom, we were desperately looking for a place to sit down. It was crowded there. And so I remembered the Law of Attraction, and visualized two seats. I was so sure (and calm) about finding those two seats. Well...the airport was full....but we actually did find two empty seats... There were only two empty seats in the whole waiting hall!
Another thing I can come up with right now happened about 2 years ago when I was at a concert. There were just way too many people around me and a girl appeared who stood right next to me and was very annoying. So I thought "all these people will go away, leave me enough space and even the girl will leave" and so I imagined myself having fun under the above mentioned circumstances. Needless to say that the girl left after 2 minutes. And the people around me left me just enough space so I could enjoy the rest of the evening. Then once when sitting on the bus on the way from the airport I was a bit worried whether I would catch my train or not. So I started thinking that I'd make it to the train just in time. I pulled out my laptop and began to look for possible connections. While doing that I decided to believe that I would really make it to my city that night. What I did not know was that a man was sitting behind me, heading to the very same city. He started talking to me when he saw I was checking train connections. It turned out he was visualizing making it home as well with the help of the Law of Attraction. Long story short: we made it home and we talked about the Law of Attraction on our little journey!
I could mention other things like that from attracting the appartment at the area where I wanted to live, through attracting some extra income to meeting the right people.
What else to say? Try it!
