Is the Law of Attraction Even Real?

The Law Of Attraction can be seen throughout history, which was first thought to have been taught to people by the immortal Buddha: “What you have become is what you have thought.” There is an age-old belief among spiritualists that you draw to your life what you put out.

Recently, inspiring writers such as Deepak Chopra, Esther and Jerry Hicks and Wayne Dyer have shed light on these ideas by introducing three books: “The Law of Attraction“, “Ask and It is Given“ and “The Power of Intention.”

Then “The Secret“ by Rhonda Byrne, brought together many thought leaders in this world and spread the experience of different individuals supporting this principle. In “The Secret” we learned that this is based on scientific principles referring to quantum physics supporting this argument: “That you will attract to yourself whatever you put out.”

Energy, Vibration, Chemistry.

“Like attracts like”, this is stated in the law of attraction. All attractions are based on energy, vibration, chemistry, or whatever you may call it, it’s all the same thing. You send out a frequency, and it attracts someone or a situation of the same frequency.

People with a high frequency, people who love and value themselves, are happy people who vibrate on a high frequency and induces a positive response in others. While people with a low frequency, people who are insecure and self-abandoning, induce feelings of anxiety in others if we ourselves are anxious.

People who are positive, open, giving, caring and kind to themselves and others are not attracted to people who are negative, closed, and needy of approval and attention. While no one intentionally seeks out someone who is closed, negative and needy, however, if this is you, this is what you will attract into your life.

Attraction and Your Level of Emotional Health

I hear this so often: “I’m a good person, but I keep meeting the wrong people in my life”, followed up with “Am I doing something wrong?”

When you learn to value yourself and take responsibility for your feelings, you’ll be drawn to people who also value themselves and want to share love rather than get love. You will no longer end up with someone who judges, blames or sees themself as a victim. You will just not find this person attractive, as they are not at your level of emotional health.

Of course, this means you need to take action if you want to increase your level of emotional health, of which some are learning:

• To be present in your body instead of stuck in your mind avoiding your emotions;
• To acknowledge what your feelings are telling you rather than protecting against them with various addictions and self-judgments;
• To take action in your own behalf rather than expecting others to do this for you.

Underlying all of these ideas is the idea of connection — we are connected within and without. What we think and feel affects not only how we will act but how others will act as well. The depth of our feelings and actions is a critical variable in “attracting” what we want in our lives.
