365 Ways to Live the Law Of Attraction (Day 43)

Get Closer to the Source

When you calm your mind, cultivate a positive mood, center your thoughts on the outcome you desire, and love what you are doing you are in a position to optimally manifest that which your heart most desires. Wallace Wattles, writing in his 1910 book The Secret of Getting Rich, noted that when you live closer to the source of wealth and abundance and align yourself in harmony with that, you get more of what you seek from the source. Living closer to the source, as Wattles calls it, might suggest to some readers to think of that unnamed, unknowable source of all with appreciation, gratitude, and love. Such emotionally charged thought attracts more of the same to the individual.

**My Two Cents...  When you love what you do, it becomes much easier to be happy and positive! So make sure you are always doing what you love... Or at the very least, loving what you do!

365 Ways to Live the Law Of Attraction (Day 42)

Love Promotes Creativity

Some artists, who have not yet experienced success, may feel a love for their craft but do not have the optimism, confidence and sense of expectancy that they can create something unique and exceptional. Perhaps their love for their craft is not as strong as their sense of defeatism or failure, which can sabotage their efforts. And yet. others use their pain and suffering as images in their work. Love pulls them into their work and passion serves as the catalyst that ignites their vision for what they desire to manifest. Such artists may become highly successful, turning out magnificent and unique works as their gifts to the world.

**My Two Cents... When we love what we do, success is just an after thought!

365 Ways to Live the Law Of Attraction (day 7)

Let Go of The Negatives, Focus on the Positives


A thorough understanding of the fundamentals of the Law of Attraction allows us to quickly achieve our goals and et more of the stuff we want and avoid attracting things we do now want. With deliberate and focused application of the priciples of the Law of Attraction, we can achieve our full human potential and perhaps work together toward creating a more harmonious and just world.

The Law of Attraction, as already noted, works in response to thoughts that have become energized.  What if you deliberately focused your attention on something that you wanted to call forth in your life... something that you deeply desired to manifest? Would the Law of Attraction bring it to you? The answer is yes... Always.

**My Two Cents...  Placing focus behind thoughts has been a practice since the beginning of time and thought. For millions of modern practicing witches, this is the essential point in working magick. The use of tools, candles, herbs and even rhyme to help the mind focus on a desired outcome is simply a way of life. For millions of others prayer is a great form of this same principal.  And yet to others this is something completely new... In either case, the Law Of Attraction is the unseen force making the magick!

365 Ways to Live the Law Of Attraction (day 5)

The Law in Modern Times


Some say the Law of Attraction concept is possibly just an updated version of teachings of the late Wallace Wattle (1860-1911) and those of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale (1898-1993.)  Wattle, who was born into poverty and became wealthy, wrote about the science of getting rich. Peale became famous for his ideas about the power of positive thinking. Both men emphasized the role of conscious and intensely focused thought in achieving the desired goal. Both men believed in a higher power and work in human lives. Wattles referred to it as "formless" intelligence and substance. Peale, a clergyman, spoke and wrote the power and presence of God.

**My Two Cents...  Hmm... I will be doing some research on these men! It's amazing to me that this is a Law or at least an idea that people from all forms of religious background can get behind. May you call that ultimate energy resource the Universe, God, Goddess or something else it's wonderful that everyone has at least one thing to agree on...

Origins of the Law


According to some who have studied it, the universal great Law of Attraction has been with us since the beginning of time, perhaps even at the moment of creation and the beginning of thought.  Others say it's impossible to pinpoint exactly when the concept entered human consciousness.

Some self-help experts say the Law of Attraction possibly dates as far back as 6,000 or 7,000 years ago where it found expression in the mystical traditions and beliefs of the ancients. Magicians of long ago certainly observed and wrote about affinities between things before the advents of science. Translations of ancient texts suggest that our spiritual ancestors thought a lot about the heaven and earth and all the creatures that existed as well as pondered the relationships between things.

**My two cents... As I said before I am no expert. But it simply makes sense to me that the Law is something beyond you and me. It's impossible for us to understand exactly when this Law came in to effect. However, I would have to think that it's at least as old as creation itself, if not older being that it's not just something we created. It's nature and the natural transference of energy from us to the universe and back...

365 Ways to Live the Law Of Attraction (day 3)

Attraction Can Bring What You DO or DON'T Want


Proponents of the Law Of Attraction say that the law brings you whatever you think about most. Thoughts can become emotionally charged. When you desire something, say, a new outfit, you also feel emotion each time your mind things about having that new dress, jacket, shoes, and handbag. You are filled with excitement at the possibility of having your desire fulfilled. You believe you can have it. You deserve it. It's coming. You consider ways to speed up getting the outfit. You might even develop a plan of action for getting the money to go shopping at the mall.

**My two cents... Something I think that should have been touched on here was like the title says. That emotion can work both for or against us. If we are placing our positive emotion into getting that new outfit, feeling the joy of having it even before we buy it and making a plan of attack to go and get it, chances are likely that we will get the outfit. But it works in reverse as well. If you are only focused on the idea that you DON'T have the outfit, or that you CAN'T afford it or feeling bad because you don't have it yet, you are not going to attract the proper energy to change that situation...  Like Attracts Like. So, when we focus on what we DON'T have we are only adding to the list. When we begin to focus on what we DO have or how happy we will be when we DO have something (even in the future) we are attracting more to us.

365 Ways to Live the Law Of Attraction (day 2)

How the Law Works


If you've heard old adages such as, "like attracts like," "birds of a feather flock together," as above, so below," and "what you send out comes back multiplied many times over," or the words in the New Testament spoken by Jesus, "ask and ye shall receive," then you may have an idea of what the Law of Attraction is. Simply put, the Law of Attraction asserts that a person's thoughts objects, people and situations and circumstances, both positive and negative, into his or her life. Proponents of the Law of Attraction assert that the law brings you what you desire when you are 1) clear about what you want, 2) energize your desire for the item with thoughts, emotion, visual imagery, and also talk about it and believe it is coming, and 3) feel and express gratitude for what you already have and that which you desire, even if it has not yet come in to your experience.

**My two cents ~ I love how this points out the idea that we have all already come in to contact with the Law and don't even know it. When I first heard about the Law I was so clueless as to what was being said. Then once I started to do my research I started to understand that this was something I have heard over and over again since I was small... That made it much easier for me to accept. Many times you will hear about these new fad books or systems and they are not always on the up and up... But in this case the Law has been around since time began and we can see that in the practices, stories and myths surrounding both Ancient and Present day cultures and religions all over the world...  It almost feels like I'm taping in to that Ancient Understanding...  It's truly a wonderful feeling once you start to learn, accept and use the Law in your own life.

365 Ways To Live the Law Of Attraction (Day 1)


An Ancient Teaching with Many Names


Modern spiritual seekers have called the Law of Attraction a recently discovered ancient secret teaching. Indeed, the law is ancient in its origins. Whether or not it was ever lost or purposefully kept secret could be argued, but what is true is that through the centuries, various spiritual teachers, philosophers, and others have mentioned or discussed the Law of Attraction, albeit calling it by different names in their teachings or writings. Today, renewed intrest in the subject has catapulted the ages-old concept into mainstream popular culture while simultaneously placing it under a lens of scrutiny.

You may already be familiar with the concept of the law. The popular books and CDs about the Law of Attraction by Americans Esther and Jerry Hicks and Canadian Michael Losier, among others, as well as the mega hit, The Secret, by Australian Rhonda Byrne have put principles of that universal spiritual law into greater public awareness.
