How does the law of attraction really work?
I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe our lives have purpose and meaning and that we are all born here to make manifest some part of the divine that lives deep inside us.
The law of attraction doesn’t work the way our egos want it to.
All thoughts and emotions are energetically based, and once you sit on the ego’s insane merry-go-round, what tends to happen is your vibration will move out of a peaceful state. For example, Have you ever been around someone and could practically feel the anger or anxiety coming off of them? If your vibration is rising with anxiety or anger, it will physically affect your body. Your heart will start to beat faster, you start breathing more quickly and more shallow, your jaw tightens, and your shoulders stiffen. When we are in this state and holding onto these types of emotions and energy, we cannot create space for what our hearts truly desire. Instead, we create energetic chaos.
Let me explain in more detail:
Everything in, on, and around our planet is made of energy. You, me, and everything around us, is made up of trillions of vibrating atoms and these atoms all vibrate at different frequencies.
Back in high school, physics class most of us were taught the Newtonian model of the atom, which looks like a solid structure with those electrons whirling around a center mass. While we have all heard of Einstein, we were never introduced to his model of the atom which is based in quantum physics. Remember E=MC squared? What this simply means is that energy and matter are one in the same - that e or energy IS m or mass/matter multiplied by the speed of light. Einstein revealed that we do not live in a universe with physical objects separated by dead space. Unlike what you most likely learned in high school, atoms are made up of vortices of energy, not tangible matter, and each atom has its own specific energy structure.
The vibrational structure of the trillions of atoms that make up the physical matter of our universe is no different than the vibrational structure of emotions and thoughts - the only difference is that most of us do not see emotions and thoughts with the naked eye.
Scientifically the connection between our thoughts, emotions and our physical lives has been studied and proven time and time again, so I’m not going to go into it here at length. If you’re wanting to dive down this rabbit hole, I highly suggest two books: The Biology of Belief by Dr. Bruce H. Lipton as well as Becoming Supernatural by Dr. Joe Despenza. The research in both of these books is not woo woo hippy beliefs - these are science based books with cellular diagrams, brain scans, and more. They cover at length how the structure of our cells, our health, and even the length of our lives is directly impacted by the energetic vibration of our physical, mental, and emotional environment - all of which are directly under our control once we reach adulthood.
As Nikola Tesla said, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.”
If our lives are directly impacted by our thoughts and emotions and our egos are in charge of our thoughts and emotions… I’ll bet you can see where I’m going here.
Another fact of the energy of the universe is that like energy attracts like energy - as the old saying goes, birds of a feather…
This is the basis for the law of attraction, which is, simply put, how by meditating on or imagining a desired outcome, you can energetically “pull” things to you and manifest or create things in your life. If you’ve never heard of this, stay with me. Even though it sounds like something out of a science fiction novel, I’m sure if you think about it, you’ve experienced this phenomenon in your life or you definitely know someone who has. I’m not necessarily talking about a new car appearing magically in your garage. The law of attraction often works in much more subtle ways.
You might have been randomly thinking about a friend you haven’t seen in a while and then suddenly you run into him at the grocery store. Maybe you keep meaning to phone a family member and suddenly she calls you out of the blue. You probably know people who always seem to have the best luck or are always winning random things, like concert tickets on the radio. Most people call it luck or chance, but there is no “chance” about it. It’s all about energy.
Here’s one detail that is very important and also why some people become incredibly frustrated when attempting to use the law of attraction to manifest.
Energetically, you do not attract to you what you want - especially not what your ego wants - you attract to you what you energetically ARE.
You can want all sorts of things such as a new car, a new relationship, children, a promotion at work, etc. etc. But if your ego is wreaking havoc on your mental, emotional and energetic environment, you will only manifest more chaos.
The law of attraction isn’t only working when we want it to. The law of attraction is like the law of gravity - it works just as well when you’re jumping on a trampoline as when someone accidentally bounces off the trampoline, and onto the hard ground. If you allow the ego to control the choices you make in life and, by default, the emotions you feel, you are at the mercy of an insane driver, who not only does not know how to read a map, she doesn’t even know where she is going, much less how to drive. However, she will always demand to drive the vehicle of your life, all the while complaining about the seat, noting the bad weather, and being afraid of the dog barking on the corner. She will turn the radio up and down, blame everyone else around her and you for the traffic, and all together, make you crazy and leave you wondering how on earth you got to McDonalds when you thought you wanted to go to PotteryBarn.
Have you ever been there? Can you think of a time in your life where the little voice took over and you believed everything it said, and the next thing you know, you’re accusing your partner, doors slam, dinner plans are canceled, and suddenly it’s 2am and you're lying in bed wondering what the hell happened? Like, how did I get here?
It’s time to take back control of the steering wheel.
Just because that voice in your head jumps up and down and screams loudly, doesn’t mean it is right, much less that it has your best interests at heart. The strongest desire of everyone’s ego is the same - to protect itself by viewing everything and everyone outside of you as a potential threat. Your ego wants you to believe that there is no distinction between you and it and that everything it is doing is actually to protect you, but this is simply not true. All human egos are incredibly committed to taking everyone around you very personally, thus, they have zero perspective. They cannot tell the difference between what is physical fact and what is made up based on inferences and suggestions that have no basis in reality.
The connection between our physical lives and our mental and emotional environment is why the practices of witnessing and release are so incredibly important if you wish to live a fulfilled and authentic life. We must witness that voice without judgment and release its insanity and all the chaotic energy it brings along with it if we desire to manifest our greatest, most aligned futures. If you can find peace in the present and heal the energetic ties to your past, you can quite literally receive your most aligned future to you with grace and ease.
Honestly, before I started doing this work, my life was in complete chaos. I was constantly on the insane merry go round created by the thought - emotion whirlwind of my ego and I was unable to separate myself from it, much less heal past memories, which only served to drag more insanity into my present state. I took everyone around me incredibly personally. This means that I made the actions of everyone around me all about me, because I listened to my ego. The worst part about it all is that I thought it was normal to live this way because I saw everyone around me doing the same thing.
Through doing this work I have learned to release the beliefs of my ego and become an energetic state that matches the life I want to live. This is how the law of attraction works and how you can put it to work for you in your life.
