How the Law of Attraction works

The film “The Secret” has done a wonderful job of raising awareness of the Law of Attraction (LOA) and many people are enjoying a prosperous and fulfilling life by working in harmony with this law. But what about the many other people who, although aware of this law, are not experiencing the results they desire. What is the difference that makes the difference?

Well it’s not because the LOA only works for some people and not for others. Being a Universal law, the Law of Attraction is operating all of the time even for those who are not aware of it or don’t believe in it. And it’s not because some people are more lucky than others. The LOA is impersonal and applies equally irrespective of age, gender, race or background. So if this law applies equally to all people why is there such a diversity in peoples results? Well I think it’s because those who are successful have a deeper understanding of this law.

Many people define the LOA as “like attracts like”, but a more accurate definition is “we attract into our experience that with which we are in vibrational resonance”. The LOA is a secondary law and is based on the primary law of vibration. The LOA doesn’t respond to what you want, eg, improved health or financial prosperity, but only to the energy and vibration you are sending out. This is a key understanding.

Nobel Prize winning physicists have confirmed that everything in the universe, both visible and invisible is, at its most basic level, energy vibrating at different frequencies. You, me, a desk, a glass, a tree, a dog, absolutely everything, including our thoughts and feelings are “concentrations” of energy and even though there’s only one energy, it vibrates differently.

It is the vibration you are sending out in every moment of every day that is determining what you are attracting into your experience. So what determines your vibration? Thoughts are considered the most potent form of energy and different thoughts create different kinds of vibration. It is your thoughts, beliefs and emotions which determine your vibratory ‘output’ and what you attract back in your life.

Here’s how it works. Everything that exists in the Universe, including our thoughts, is energy and energy vibrates. If you have a thought that “earning money is hard” and focus your attention on this thought, you begin to vibrate a frequency that resonates with the thought “earning money is hard”. The more you focus your attention on this thought, the easier it is to assume that particular rate of vibration. Eventually, you’ve practiced this vibration so much, that as soon as you think the thought “earning money is hard”, you instantly assume the vibrational frequency associated with this thought and we call it a belief.

A belief is nothing more than a practiced vibration, which through the LOA, brings into your experience everything in harmony or resonance with that vibration, thus validating or reinforcing the truth of your belief! A belief however is not fact and so the question to ask is not “Are my beliefs true?” because to the believer they are always true. The question to ask is “Do my current beliefs move me in the direction of my goals and what I want to experience in life?”

Everything is created through energetic vibration and you cannot attract anything into your experience you are not in vibrational resonance with. The principle is similar to tuning in a radio station. In order to hear your favourite radio station, you set your tuner to the exact vibrational frequency match. Even though there are many, many different radio stations playing out there in every moment of every day (in the same way there are many, many opportunities waiting for you), you are not aware of them and they do not become part of your experience until you ‘tune in’ and achieve an exact vibrational match. Your experiences in life are simply a matching of vibration. You cannot experience anything in life you are not in vibrational resonance with in the same way you cannot experience 82.4 fm if you have set your radio tuner to 106.fm

Although our physical senses tell us we are a physical body, we are not. We are Vibrational Beings living in a vibrational universe and in every moment of our existence we are broadcasting a vibrational signal based on our thoughts, feelings and beliefs and this is determining what we attract into our lives.

But here is the problem. Most peoples’ thoughts are on what they don’t want, rather than on what they do want. For example, John is currently in debt and is desperate to attract more money into his life. However his attention is focused on his debt. He allows his current experience of debt to determine his thoughts and feelings and this vibrational signal of ‘lack’ attracts more ‘lack’ back into his life. If you try to explain to John that it is his own thoughts about lack that is creating more lack, he will probably angrily reply “Well of course I’m thinking about lack because that’s my reality. To think otherwise is naïve and irresponsible”.

But John’s response, while typical, evidences a deep misunderstanding of how the LOA actually works. We’re told to face facts and be realistic, but this is before we understood our role in the creation process. The LOA doesn’t respond to what John wants (eg, more money), but only to the energy and vibration he is sending out and it works perfectly every time. This is why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. It is simply a matter of where people focus their attention.

When we let our current results determine our current thoughts and feelings (vibratory output), we are attempting to create in reverse. Our current results are the effects of our previous thoughts and feelings. To create different results, we must change the cause (our thoughts and feelings) first, and then our outer circumstances will change.

Now at the beginning this is hard because our habitual way of thinking of what we don’t want is, through the LOA, matching us up with more thoughts of what we don’t want! But when you understand that the LOA is set up to respond to your individual vibration, you can begin the process of allowing the experience of what you don’t want to guide you to what you do want and begin to focus on that to achieve vibrational alignment.

So if you are not experiencing what you desire in life, it’s because your thoughts and feelings (vibrational output) are on what you don’t want, rather than what you do want. You are, metaphorically speaking, tuned into 97.6fm and becoming frustrated because you want to listen to 83.2fm. Nothing will change until you change the vibrational frequency.

Vibration is everything … 3 simple words … but it may be the missing piece you are looking for.

Breast Cancer – Cathie’s Story

Following my original assessment for breast cancer on 25th June 2010, I made the conscious decision that I would do everything I could to think, feel and act as though I was already cured of cancer.

I have always been a positive person, but the principles shared in our Magnetic Lifestyle blog helped instill a deep knowing that I could heal myself of this dis-ease. I agreed with my family and friends that I would not talk about the ‘conventional’ approach to cancer in terms of chemotherapy and radiation, but would follow the self-healing complimentary approach in terms of diet, visualization, and doing things that made me feel good as often as I could.

6 days after I had been told I had breast cancer, I recorded a short video in support of a Course I attended and I have included it below as it captures and re-iterates my belief that we have far more control over our body and the healing process than we have been conditioned to believe.

If you would like to find out more about the Course I was referring to, please click here

The first operation

Following my assessment of breast cancer, a lumpectomy and the removal of 2 lymph nodes was carried out on 7th July. Following the operation, I did not receive any painkillers or medication, but used two energy products – the Amega AMwand and AMPendant to activate and harness the healing ability of my own body.

Dancing the night away

A few days after the operation, I was dancing at our local pub. If you’d like to view this spectacle, view the video below.

In a strange sort of way, I came to regard my cancer as a ‘gift’, an opportunity for me to grow spiritually and more importantly, an opportunity for me to share my own experiences and understanding of how the body heals itself with others who may be looking for a more natural approach to healing, rather than through conventional drugs and medication.

The second operation

Two weeks after the first operation, I was told that one of the lymph nodes they’d removed was found to be cancerous and the consultant said it was best to remove all the lymph nodes. On 26th July, the second operation was performed. Again, no painkillers were used, just the AMWand and the AMPendant .

Happy ENDING …

On 17th August, I went to the hospital to get the results for my remaining lymph nodes. In my heart I knew I was whole and well. The meeting went exactly as I had visualized it. No cancer had been found in the rest of the lymph nodes and I was given the all clear!

Recommendation

I recommend that every reader of this post read (or re-read) the ‘17 Steps to a Magnetic Lifestyle‘ on this blog as it provided me with the understanding and belief that I had the capacity to heal myself.

In Step 3, Guide to Who You Are it explains that first and foremost we are ‘Spiritual’ beings and Spirit is wholeness or wellness and anything that manifests as a dis-ease or illness is a partial expression of that wholeness.

The question is: Where will you place your focus and attention – on the partial or the whole?

If you believe yourself to be less than whole, you will have a partial experience – which may be in terms of sickness or disease – because you always experience what you believe to be true for you. This is how consciousness works.

But even in the midst of this partial experience, you are still whole at the core of your Being, because you are a Spiritual Being. When people believed in a flat world, the round world still existed. They simply experienced what they believed to be true for them.

For me, the assessment of cancer did not change the reality that I AM a Spiritual Being. I chose to focus all my attention on my wholeness, rather than my cancer because I know that everything is created twice, first in the invisible, formless world of imagination, thoughts and feelings and then in the visible world of form (see Step 10 – Imagination).

I knew that if I held steadfast to the picture in my mind of wholeness and wellness, it would only be a matter of time (gestation period) before that image of wellness manifest into form in my physical body, which it did on 17th August.

Magnetic Lifestyle & Breast Cancer

On Friday 25th June 2010, Cathie was assessed with breast cancer.

Due to her attitude and the beliefs she has developed over the past 15 years, she sees this assessment as an opportunity to grow personally and to apply the principles shared within the Magnetic Lifestyle blog.

Because of the love and support of her husband Dave, her family and friends (and the mentoring of Peter) she remains positive and has absolute certainty that all is well.

Through a series of short videos, Cathie is recording her personal experiences in the belief it will help her and inspire others who may be undergoing similar challenges.

Follow Cathie as she shares her new journey …

A personal story

If you are followers of our Magnetic Lifestyle blog, you will know that we live in a universe which operates in accordance with precise and repeatable laws and that one of the most powerful of these laws is known as the Law of Attraction. In simple terms, this law states that you are a living magnet, constantly drawing to you the things, the people and the circumstances which are in accord with your most dominant thoughts and feelings.

Over the last 3 months, Cathie and I have been on one of the most amazing journeys of our lives and we want to share the details with you in the hope it will inspire you to create the changes you desire in your life.

It all started on 14th March 2010, when a friend of ours asked if we had seen the amazing Youtube videos about a breakthrough technology causing ‘miraculous’ results around the world. Well of course, in an orderly universe, the term ‘miracle’ is normally associated with something we don’t yet understand, and so with our curiosity aroused we decided to investigate further.

What we discovered was a Company who resonated with every core principle we write about in our Magnetic Lifestyle blog. At it’s heart, the Company owners recognise that deep down we all want to be part of something greater than ourselves and we want to know we are making a real difference in the lives of others. It’s like a divine discontent and restlessness which affects the lives of all of us and we will never rest content until we find it.

However for Cathie and myself the impact was even more profound. In this one Company, we had finally found an opportunity that enabled us – easily and effortlessly – to integrate on a daily basis, the ’17 Steps to a Magnetic Lifestyle’ we so passionately believe and write about in this blog.

For example, you cannot achieve true ‘success’ in this opportunity unless your focus is 100% on sharing and helping others (see principle 14 of the ’17 steps’). The revolutionary breakthrough in technology is based on the nobel prize winning research that everything in our universe is energy (see principle 2 of the ’17 steps’). As you listen to the Company owners you discover that gratitude and your ‘worthiness’ to receive all you desire, are an integral part of their philosophy (see principle 5 of the ’17 steps’).

By associating with this Company, everyone has an opportunity to become part of something greater than themselves (see principle 9 of the ’17 steps’).

In just over 3 months, Cathie and I have ‘attracted’ a team of 90 people in 12 countries through the principle of sharing this opportunity and having fun. And we haven’t even got started yet! The secret to this success story is a technology ‘whose time has come’.

We are so grateful to have drawn this opportunity into our lives and we feel it is our responsibility to share it with as many people as possible who may feel drawn towards it.

Are you an Observer or a Visionary?

Have you noticed that the same sort of issues and concerns keep ‘showing up’ in your life? This is because we have been conditioned to place our attention on ‘what is’ or the circumstances currently facing us.

But this is what is happening when you do this. ‘What is’ surrounds you and you observe it and offer a response or reaction to it. The universe matches this vibrational response and through the Law of Attraction gives you more of ‘what is’ which you again observe and respond to, thus perpetuating the belief that ‘what is’ is reality and cannot be changed.

But this is not the Truth. You are not simply an unthinking reactor to conditions. You are a creative person with the ability to visualise how you would like your life to be. You do not have to settle on things just the way they are. You can visualise them how you want them to be.

When you choose to look at things the way you want them to be, you change your vibrational pattern and the universe matches this vibrational shift and returns to you more of what you desire, because the universe is always matching your vibrational energy.

Our parents, teachers and others in authority have taught us to face ‘reality’ and tell our story the way it is. But this is to misunderstand the creation process. By observing ‘what is’ and allowing ‘what is’ to determine your feelings and vibration, you simply attract more of ‘what Is’. This is why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

You must begin to tell your story the way you want it to be. Talk and think only about the things you want to see and experience in your life. Visualise yourself living your dream lifestyle and when you begin to talk, think and believe your new story, your vibration will change and the universe will respond to match your new vibration.

If you look back at the careers of successful people, you will find that almost every one of them first visualized who they wanted to be long before they actually achieved success.

Stop everything you are doing right now and think about what you want to accomplish in your life. Maybe you want a new career or to enjoy better health. Perhaps you want to start a new business, or buy that dream house you always wanted.

Make a list on paper right now of the things you want to accomplish this year. If your goal is a new home, write down sufficient detail so that you can picture in your mind what you will be seeing and feeling as you walk into each room. If your goal is a new career or promotion, picture yourself in that new office and believe it with all your heart as if it were already true. Take time out every day to mentally picture or visualise yourself living your goals.

Remember the Universe cannot tell the difference between something you are observing or something you are visualising. Both are equally powerful as each thought produces a vibration within you that the universe matches.

So begin today to think, talk, and visualise exactly how you want your life to be. Become a visionary, not an observer, and when you do this, the universe must respond to your new vibration.

Uncomfortable feelings can be good

It is important to understand that any process of change involves discomfort.

The thoughts and ideas impressed upon your subconscious mind determine your vibration or feelings. When you entertain new thoughts and ideas about what you really want, they will not be in harmony with your old conditioning or habitual way of thinking. These opposing vibrations will cause uncomfortable feelings (feelings are conscious awareness of vibration) and will generate self-doubt and fear.

The normal temptation is to step back into your comfort zone, or usual way of thinking, to avoid the discomfort. While the comfort zone may not hurt, it holds you back from realising your true potential.

As Abraham Maslow observed:

You will either step forward into GROWTH,
or you will step back into safety.

Stepping back into the comfort zone is to permit your conditioning (a composite of the habitual way of thinking of your peers) to prevent YOU from being all you can be.

Your Higher Self (spiritual side of your personality) is always for growth and expansion; your old conditioning is holding you back. The self-talk is relentless: “Who do you think you are? You can’t do this. You’ve tried this before and failed. You don’t deserve success“ and on and on.

These uncomfortable feelings are a reflection of your conditioning, not your potential. They are the body’s natural response to the different vibrations of opposing thoughts and ideas. A good question to ask is “Does the belief I currently hold, which is in opposition to my new thoughts and ideas, move me closer in the direction of my goals?” If the answer is “No”, consider the matter carefully.

Although there is a risk to stepping outside the comfort zone, there is a risk to playing it safe. It means you never get what you really want.

The importance of Listening!

The following poem, which appeared in Happiness Now by Robert Holden, always brings a smile to my face. I hope it brings a smile to you too.  

Listening

When God gave out brains
I thought He said trains
- so I missed mine 

When God gave out looks
I thought He said books
- so I didn’t want any 

When God gave out noses
I thought He said roses
- so I ordered a big red one 

When God gave out chins
I thought he said gins
- so I ordered a large double one 

When God gave out legs
I thought He said kegs
- so I asked for large fat ones 

When God gave out heads
I thought He said beds
- so I asked for a big soft one

Gosh, am I in a mess!

Remember, we have two ears and one mouth for a reason … listen carefully!

Unconditional Love

Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.

- Mark Twain

Left to Tell – Immaculee Ilibagiza

If you ever get the opportunity to read the book ‘Left to Tell’ by Immaculee Ilibagiza, seize the opportunity. It is a wonderful example of unconditional love and forgiveness in the most challenging of conditions. Cathie and Peter share their thoughts about this book and the unusual circumstances in which they both read the book within 24 hours of each other.

Immaculee shares her moving story …

From Cathie

I first heard about the book ‘Left to Tell’ some months ago after I’d read Anne Frank’s diary and felt instinctively that I needed to read it. While I was reading a book by Dr Wayne Dyer, the book came to light again so I decided it was the next book I would read. As soon as I began reading the first page, I didn’t want to put it down.

The testimonials in the book said things like “inspirational”, “life changing”, “you will never forget Immaculee”, “changed me forever”, etc., etc. The foreword by Dr Wayne W Dyer said that he’d read thousands of books over the past 50 years and Left to Tell was by far the most moving and poignantly significant book in his lifetime of personal reading.

When I read these words, I wondered just how moving Left to Tell could be. I knew it was about the true story of Immaculee Ilibagiza, of how she survived the Rwandan holocaust but I could never have imagined how this book would move me.

From start to finish, I was immersed in the book and showered with Immaculee’s courage, faith, determination to survive and most importantly for me, her gift of forgiveness, which I believe is the ultimate in pure love. I believe through Immaculee being Left to Tell, there is HOPE for peace in the world.

I have to agree with the words “This is a book that defies adequate description”.

My own belief in something greater than us that creates miracles, has indeed been confirmed and that forgiveness is the ultimate calling for us to begin to have love and peace in our world. I strongly believe I was meant to read Left to Tell and that it will have some meaning in my own life.

After reading just the first few pages, I was so moved that I rang Peter and strongly suggested he read the book.

From Peter

When Cathie rang me and asked if I was familiar with the book ‘Left To Tell’ I had to confess I wasn’t. However because of Cathie’s passionate recommendation, I did some research on google about the book. Wow, the reviews were incredible. So that evening, (Saturday), I purchased a copy of the book online and waited eagerly for it to arrive.

Early the following morning, I went with my daughter Charlotte to one of the biggest Sunday market and carboot sales in the UK with over 800 stalls trading each week. We arrived earlier than expected and many of the traders were still setting up their stalls. So we walked around a bit and headed towards one of the few stalls already displaying a small number of goods. You can imagine my absolute delight and surprise when on the very first stall I approached, there on the table in front of me was an unmarked copy of ‘Left To Tell’. It was displayed in a prominent position almost ‘standing out’ from anything else on the table.

Needless to say I purchased the book and was immediately in awe about how such synchronicities work. Our decision to go to the Sunday market was made late on Saturday night. We anticipated it would take about 1 hour to drive to the market but arrived earlier than expected. Over 800 stalls were trading at the market selling every conceivable item you could think off. The events which had to conspire together to get me to that particular stall, at that precise moment, are mind-boggling.

About 8.00pm the same evening I went to my study, closed the door and began to read ‘Left To Tell’. Like Cathie, I couldn’t put it down. I went to bed around midnight and got up at 6.00am the following morning and finished reading the book.

I can only endorse all the other wonderful reviews. The book impacted me in ways that few other books have done. It is a powerful demonstration of unconditional love and forgiveness in the most unimaginable of circumstances.

Throughout the book, reference is made to ‘God moving in mysterious ways’. The circumstances in which both Cathie and I acquired this book, and read it from cover to cover within 24 hours of each other is, we believe, also a mystery and one which encourages us to share this book to all readers of magneticlifestyle.com.

It is indeed an inspirational and life changing book and has our highest recommendation.

Footnote: The copy I ordered online arrived about 4 days later and is a wonderful gift to pass on.
