A Guide to Understanding the Attraction Law

By Barbara Marr

It is widely believed there are a few universal laws that govern the universe. For instance, the law of vibration states that everything in the universe can be broken down to a pattern of pure energy or light. The law of cause and effect states that with every action, there is an equal reaction. The law of growth says that creation is constant and is determined by the quality of the seed that is planted. The law of abundance says that abundance is determined by the kind and quality of seed or energy projected. The law of polarity says that nothing can exist in this world without its direct opposite. The law of reciprocity says that a favor is given whenever a favor is received. The law of resonance says that everything in this world has a resonance field that affects beliefs and emotions on a subconscious level. Lastly, there is the attraction law.

It is believed that a person can get what he or she desires, acting as a living magnet, attracting energy to bring in positive results. While the concept may sound abstract, many people have found ways to visualize and become a law of attraction gateway.

One problem that individuals frequently face with the attraction law is that they think they are concentrating on their desires, but they are in fact sabotaging themselves. For example, someone might say, "I want to meet the ideal mate... but he likely does not exist" or "I want to buy a home... but I'll never have the money for a down payment." Before the universe can respond to the individual's request, the energy is cut off by the source and the wish never even gets off the ground. Rather, the individual must release positive emotions of desire and visualize success, instead of anticipating disappointment. This is key to comprehending the laws of attraction.

According to the attraction law, an individual must ask, believe and receive. One must first ask the universe for what he or she wants. The source will then say "Yes," and the asker must allow him or herself to receive. To be clear on the desire, the individual must focus on the outcome -- sending all positive energy toward it, visualizing it and feeling good about it.

The attraction law is another maxim of the New Thought movement (1904-1910) that focused on the notion of thought manifesting reality. The book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill captured widespread acclaim in 1937. In their law of attraction books, authors like Wallace Wattles, Robert Collier and Helena Blavatsky applaud this concept as the quintessential truth to health, happiness and fulfillment. In 2006, The Secret re-popularized the idea with the release of The Secret DVD and book.
