What is the Secret Law of Attraction?

The secret law of attraction has to do with how your thoughts influence everything around you, both close by and far away. There are some things that we cannot control; the weather for example.

But, we have the ability to affect what happens in our lives, what things come to us, good or bad, simply by thinking about them. A religious person might call it the power of prayer. But, non-religious folks have experienced the benefits, too.

A scientist might call it the placebo effect, which is how scientists explain things that cannot be explained scientifically. Recent research indicates that the placebo effect is increasing. People are getting better without drugs or other treatments. Maybe that’s because of all of us positive thinkers.

A psychologist might refer to it as positive self-talk. When counseling someone with an anxiety disorder or a similar emotional problem, they advise their patients to avoid negative self-talk; thinking “things will never change” or “this will never work” or “I will never be happy”. Those thoughts are actually what make the people anxious and unhappy.

In AA, NA and similar groups, it is referred to as a “higher power”. Believing that there is a power greater than he or she is helps the addict recover.

The law of attraction covers all of these things and more. In the New Thought Movement, it is sometimes referred to as personal power. We have the ability to change our lives, simply by believing that we can.

But, it is not simply about belief. It involves science and physics. You might call it the “power” of attraction, rather than the law.

Throughout nature, we see how similar things are attracted to each other. When we look at social groups, we see that people spend time together, because of the things they have in common. That’s the secret law of attraction in action.

Our thoughts and beliefs have the ability to attract concrete things. We might not get all sunny days, just by thinking that we will, but you can bet that if you believe your vacation will get rained out, in all likelihood, it will happen.

You should spend most of your energy thinking about what you want to happen, rather than what you don’t want to happen. It is a better use of your time. Learning more about the secret law of attraction is a good way to spend your time, too. It will pay off in the long run.
