Ask And You Shall Receive - A Look At The Law Of Attraction

Boiled down into one statement, the Law of Attraction is 'ask and you shall receive'.

As the adage goes, 'ask and you shall receive' is easier said than done.

Understanding and applying the Law of Attraction can bring you your wishes and dreams, such as prosperity, a great life and a sense of spiritual well being. To use it effectively, you need to know how to apply it. Understanding basic principles of the Law of Attraction can help you achieve your goals and desires.

Your Thoughts Become Reality

A fundamental principle in the Law of Attraction is that 'what you think about, you bring about.' Your reality is a picture of what you have been thinking. Everything in the universe is energy, including thoughts.

Your thoughts -- whether they are disgust with politicians, money worries or health concerns -- will affect what happens in your life because of the Law of Attraction. Energy that is similar to what you have been thinking about will be attracted into your life and will manifest in situations or things. If your thoughts are emotionally charged, you'll see more immediate deliveries of 'like energy' from the universe, for good or for ill.

We're hardly aware of the fact that on average, we think a whopping 60,000 thoughts per day. Trying to monitor every single one of those thoughts is an overwhelming idea, at best. To manage the endless stream of thoughts, the goal is to generate feelings of happiness, gratitude, and well-being throughout the day and to feed these positive emotions into the subconscious mind. This tends to be more effective than trying to change every individual thought. Emotions are an important part of the Law of Attraction.

What about Day to Day Reality?

A core principle in the Law of Attraction is that life is supposed to be fulfilling, fun and joyous. Yet, difficult work situations, unhappy relationships, poor health, and a mountain of debt can seem to be a practical challenge to this belief. In the Law of Attraction, people need to change their attitudes about what is appears to be happening in current daily life before they can see good things they can manifest through the Law of Attraction.

What is going on in our present situations is often the result of past beliefs and attitudes held in the subconscious mind. This can be one of the biggest challenges in practicing the Law of Attraction. By constantly feeding your subconscious mind with positive images, affirmations and conscious thoughts, the subconscious will eventually view these positive images as reality. This is why creating vision boards, goal writing and affirmations are favorite tools used by users of the Law of Attraction.

The Universe Knows No Limits

In the Law of Attraction, the universe is not limited. If you follow the Law of Attraction, there is never lack of anything. There is an unlimited supply of whatever you can think of to go around and it is not necessary to covet what others may have. According to the Law of Attraction, what you want is always possible.

WYSIWYG

Most of us who use software are familiar with WYSIWYG - What You See Is What You Get. WYSIWYG is a building block in the Law of Attraction. When you see the good in a situation, you will send out good energy and attract good energy in return.

This energy will return to you in the form of more positive results. So if you want positive results, you need to find a way to see the good in situations. This is how the Law of Attraction works.

Doubt is the Enemy of Belief

The concept of asking for what you want is a part of the Law of Attraction. When you command the universe to give you what you want, you can get it. To accomplish this, you must believe in it. You must accept what you have asked for as if you had already received it and must visualize the end result as if it has already happened. Most of us have doubts on a conscious or subconscious level, and that is what puts the brakes on the desirable things that can come our way in consciously practicing the Law of Attraction. It is critical to work with core beliefs that we may have on a subconscious level.

Wrapping It Up

The Law of Attraction is at once both simple and complex. Simply stated, you must only ask and receive. On a practical level, we must make an effort to restructure our entire way of thinking to believe that what we ask, we receive. To do this, it is good to study the concepts of the Law of Attraction.
