Law Of Attraction - The Basics

Hopefully you have heard of a book entitled "The Secret" written by Rhonda Byrne. It is a book which I have finished reading recently. I found it to be very intersting, and have since incorporated The Secret into different aspects of my life. As this is fairly recent, I won't be commenting on results just yet. But I would like to cover the basics so you all know what I'm on about.



Law Of Attraction - The Basics

The Secret focusses it's attention on the Law Of Attraction. To put it simply, the Law Of Attraction states that whatever your dominant thoughts are, the things that you think about most strongly and most often, you will attract into your life in some form or another. It states that the things you think about often find a way to manifest into reality.


The Law of Attraction goes further though, stating that everything in your life is a projection of your thoughts. Also that something cannot come into your life unless you have thought it into your life. This may sounds extreme to you, but to me it makes quite a bit of sense. Once you begin to understand the Law of Attraction, you begin to see how things fit together, and how one bad thought can lead to another and manifest into something which never existed before you thought about it. It also explains "lucky" people. People who think they are lucky generally are. How about those people who always get green lights or carparks when it's busy?

Visualization is a big part of The Secret. It often focusses on thinking and acting as if you already have what it is that you desire. For example if you desire money, rather than focussing on what you can not afford, you should focus on and visualize abundance. This will get you in the right frame of mind for accepting the money into your life. You can also use your imagination to visualize spending money.

The Law of Attraction also explains that using negatives in your thought is often unsuccessful and can bring out the opposite outcome. When people say (or think) "I will not be late" for example, often the brain struggles to process the negative "not", instead thinking "I will be late". Positive thinking is much more effective. I better way for this example would be to focus on being early.

"I will be early". Is much more likely to reach the desired outcome.

Another strong point The Secret makes is that in order to get what you want, you need to be grateful for what you have. Gratitude has been proven to improve peoples self esteem, mood, outlook on life, and future success. Being grateful for what you already have also puts you in the right frame of mind to receive.

Once people begin to understand the Law of Attraction, they can make the necessary changes to their thinking patterns, which will in turn affect their lives.
