The Law Of Attraction: Will It Work For You?

By Barbara Marr

You may have heard that the law of attraction enables you to attract everything you desire, whether it be a new mate, a better job, improved health or a greater sense of joy. Many people want a better life, but feel that achieving such a lofty goal is "easier said than done." To reach fulfillment, individuals often need to adopt new credos and train themselves to think in a new way. The Law of Attraction as presented by Jerry and Esther Hicks is one such method that provides tips to help you apply universal laws and teachings to your own life.

Their programs teach that it is an individual's birthright to live a life full of pleasure and goodness; that all things, either wanted and unwanted, are influenced by our thoughts, and that anyone can attain everything they long for. Twenty-two processes seek to reconnect people with a spiritual energy to produce a more joyful life.

For several decades now, the the knowledge imparted by the Law of Attraction has been inspiring individuals to generate better realities; still an individual must first subscribe to the following key doctrines of the law. You are a physical extension of that which is non-physical. You are here in this body because you chose to be here. The basis of your life is freedom/the purpose of your life is joy. You are a creator/you create with your every thought. Anything that you can imagine is yours to be or do or have. As you are choosing your thoughts, your emotions are guiding you.

There are lots of positive assessments of the Law of Attraction. "I listened to the audio and it helped me put things into perspective," writes one reviewer at Amazon. "I now want to get the book and outline points that I need to focus on." Other reviewers found some enlightenment as to why series of bad events continually happen to them. They say they began as skeptics of this universal power law, but were pleasantly surprised to see the pieces of their lives put together.

As with anything, the Law of Attraction is not for everyone. Some people are firmly rooted in a particular religion and are not open to alternate views of the universe. While the prophet Abraham is said to be one of the main proponents of the secret law of attraction in Esther and Jerry Hicks' opinion, not everyone is sold on the concept. The idea that non-physical entities can speak through Esther just seems off-the-wall to many listeners, which prevents them from really getting into the material. If you can't look past the spiritual points to find something that applies to your life, then this collection may not be for you.

The Law of Attraction will appeal the most to those whose lives are in flux. Whether there has been a death in the family, an unexpected bout of unemployment, a chaotic relationship or a medical diagnosis, there are certain periods when we can all use a little direction. There is no replacement for individual counseling with an experienced mental health specialist, but the Law of Attraction has helped all kinds of people get back on target. The first step to overcoming loss and sadness is to discover a positive mindset. The subsequent step is to set some goals and follow through.
