Your thoughts define you. The Law of Attraction says that you experience the reality, or physical manifestations, of your thoughts.  Thoughts can be expressed through emotions, actions, and words. Correspondingly you have direct control over your life and your reality through your thoughts.  If your thoughts, whether they’re conscious or unconscious, are negative you will attract negative experiences.  If your thoughts are positive you will attract positive experiences.  Basically you are what you think.  You get what you think about.  Not only do you control your own destiny you can predict it.

While many people think that The Law of Attraction is strictly modern, the idea of thoughts controlling reality shows up in Buddhism, Hinduism and Christianity (Click Here for more info on the Foundations of the Law of Attraction).

Supporters of the Law of Attraction say it is based in Quantum Physics.  Thoughts have energy, resonance and vibration.  These energy levels attract other thoughts of the like energy.  Everything in the universe, whether physical or not is simply energy.   These energies vibrate at certain frequencies.  Energies that vibrate at the same frequencies attract each other (Learn more about the scientific explanation of The Law of Attraction).

To control this energy one must do three things:

1.  Know what you want and ask for it

2. Accept that what you want is on its way

3. Be open and receive it

The trouble is that many people find it a challenge to know what they want.  They know what other people tell them they should want.  They know, sort of what they want, but can’t define it.  Or they can’t focus on what they want.

Positive thinking isn’t quite enough because old habits interfere.  If there is doubt that the process is going to work that’s a negative thought and the process won’t work because you don’t think it will.

Another stumbling block is that people want to determine exactly how what they want is going to arrive and when it’s going to arrive. For example you may be focusing on money and decide that the lottery is how you’re going to amass your fortune.  Deciding ahead of time limits the alternatives.

Finally people think it’s selfish to accept what they want when they receive it.

All of these stumbling block can be overcome with a little help and training.

The law of attraction is a universal law.  Energy is throughout the universe
