In this video I want to give a brief introduction to The Law of Attraction. We’ll be working with The Law of Attraction throughout the course, so don’t feel pressured to understand every single idea related to it in this one lesson.
The Law of Attraction is a governing force that brings you experiences based on the energy you emit. This is often simplified to the idea that good thoughts attract good things. While that statement is true it can be very misleading and is often oversimplified. A lot of people have a misconception of The Law of Attraction as something where they can sit and meditate and think about having a hundred million dollars, and without doing anything a hundred million dollars is going to fall into their lap. That is very much an oversimplification and not at all what I want to imply when I talk about The Law of Attraction.
The Law of Attraction is simply something that is responding to the energy that you hold in order to determine the quality of the things that happen to you. You have to think about this in the context of The Law of Vibration. I like to think of The Law of Vibration as the framework, the range of vibration of possible experiences for you. As your energy exists in a certain range of vibration, a certain set of experiences is available to you.
The Law of Attraction then brings you those experiences based on where your specific energetic state falls within that range.
Working With The Law of Attraction
The Law of Attraction is constantly bringing you your experiences and circumstances based on the energy that you hold. Let’s think about how this works for a moment. A lot of people when they’re first exposed to this idea think about it in terms of sending out thoughts and then those thoughts go out into the world and somehow bring them back the things they have in their life.
What’s actually happening is that your range of vibration is actively dictating what is or is not available to you. In order to achieve any desire, any specific circumstance that you want, you have to match your vibration with the vibrational framework in which that desire already exists.
This is a fundamental concept. You aren’t creating anything new with your thoughts in this realm of vibration. Instead, you’re moving into a new framework of vibration in which the goal, the desire, is already present.
There are lots of examples using this principle that you already use every single day of your life. Cell phones, tv, radio, all work on this principle of vibration and the idea of changing frequency to change what you receive. If you’re listening to one radio station and you don’t like what you hear on that station, you simply turn the knob and change to a different frequency. You change what your radio receives, and therefore what you experience.
LOA Reflects Energy, NOt Words
One of the things that is really important to understand as you’re beginning to work with The Law of Attraction is that The Law of Attraction works according to the overall energy that you hold, not the words that you say. This is a common misconception and is something that throws a lot of people off as they’re first getting started. They think they can just think and say the idea of what they want, but they don’t actually change their underlying energy. The result is that they’re just paying lip service to the idea of the desire, but never move the needle in the way that it counts to make any real progress towards their aim.
It’s important to remember that The Law of Attraction brings you the energy you emit. This means that as you’re first getting started you’re already in a state of being and in order to move to another state of being you first have to build some momentum towards it; you have to break out of the inertia of where you currently are. This is why progress at first can feel slow, but then gets exponentially faster as you move along. This is because as you begin to accelerate your energy you start to see more and more things related to that energy in the world around you. This observation allows you to continue to accelerate towards higher frequencies. When you’re at a high state of vibration it is easier to maintain that energy than it is to get to a higher state from a lower state…especially when you’re just starting out.
This is easy to see when you think about examples from the physical world. Think about the last time someone screamed at you, whether it was a boss or a child. It’s really easy to fall into a defensive mode and respond with anger or frustration when someone is screaming at you in anger or frustration. It’s a perfect example of how we often respond to energy with similar energy.
Another great example has to do with the physical objects we see on a day to day basis. There’s a mechanism in the brain known as the Reticular Activating System. This system takes all of the information your brain glimpses throughout the day and determines which aspects of that information you’re going to consciously process and think about. We actually take in an immense amount of information each day, but we discard most of that information and only focus on a small range of things as we move throughout the day — the range of things our brain thinks is most relevant.
You’ve already had the experience of this system in action. Think about the last time something seemed to appear seemingly out of nowhere, and then all of a sudden you would see it all of the time. A common example is when you buy a new car, and as you’re looking at a new model, you suddenly begin to see that car all over the place. Before, you knew it was around, but you didn’t think about, you didn’t process it. After you buy it, however, your Reticular Activating System kicks into gear and starts showing you examples of the car every time you see it. The car is at the forefront of your mind, so your brain keeps showing you examples of it.
Your Entire World Is Just a Frequency
As you begin to play with these concepts, eventually you will realize that your entire observable world is just a frequency.
It’s easy enough to understand that physical objects are just vibrations that are constantly moving, or that there are invisible vibrations in the air that we come into contact with, but it’s a little more difficult to wrap your mind around the fact that everything, quite literally everything, is nothing but an aggregate vibration of everything you perceive put together.
Having this realization is really important, because it allows you to intuit a little more strongly that when you shift that vibration you literally shift into a different experience of your vibration. Shifting your vibration means that you shift the composite vibration of everything that you experience. If you shfit that range enough, you will have a completely different experience in your day to day life.
One of the best analogies to conceptualize this idea is to think of a radio, so take a moment to imagine the universe as if it were an infinite radio. You’ve spent your entire life listening to the same station, the same twenty songs over and over again. Your frequency, your vibration, has remained very constantly within the same range.
All it would take to change the frequency and shift stations is to get up and turn the knob, but you don’t take that step. When you start to realize this, you realize that everything that you experience is a choice, but you haven’t consciously been making that choice. You haven’t realized how to consciously and deliberately how to take control of your frequency. You haven’t learned how to turn the knob and listen to a different radio station and a different song.
This is the power of The Law of Vibration and The Law of Attraction, when you learn how to use them.
Exercise: Thoughts Attracting Thoughts
In order to intuit these concepts, we’re going to do an exercises in which we sit into a thought and a range of thoughts in order to feel the energy behind it and how that energy can multiply.
We’ll do one example here, but I encourage you to practice this technique with thoughts that trigger different ranges of emotion, in order to get a sense of what this energy really is, and how it pulls in similar energy to whatever it is that you’re thinking.
Sit back, relax, and listen to the short meditation.
