The Law of Attraction is often explained as “like attracts like.” We have sayings that follow this logic such as “Birds of a feather flock together.” If you are an outgoing person who enjoys social gatherings and a large group of friends, chances are your closest friends are also the same type of person. It sounds very 70s to use the word “vibe” but when you exhibit a certain trait, you send out that vibe, that vibration to others and those with a like-minded vibe are attracted to you.

Imagine all the areas in your life:  Do you have good health? Good relationships? Love in your life? Do you have as much money as you would like to have? Are you enjoying the lifestyle you want? Are there things you want but don’t seem to be able to acquire them? This is where understanding the Law of Attraction will help you see why you have the life that you have. You will see that the results of your life are all in response to the vibes you have been sending out.

Here is an example. Suppose you hear someone sneeze. You immediately freeze up because you feel you are susceptible to other’s viruses more than most people. The first thought that comes into your mind is, “Oh, great, now I’m going to get sick.” You then keep thinking that the rest of the day and worry about getting sick. Sure enough, within a few days, you are sneezing yourself. Now, go back to that hypothetical day and upon hearing the other person’s sneeze, you say to yourself, “I have excellent health. My body is always functioning at its best level. Everything that enters my body causes a positive and healthy reaction in me. I have excellent health.” Yes, it sounds crazy, but your thoughts and feelings become vibes. These vibes actually vibrate and attract the same type of vibrations. You don’t have to understand HOW it works, just accept it and do it.

The Law of Attraction can be explained in many complicated ways but if you keep in mind that “like attracts like” you will remember all that you need to know. It is like driving a car. Do you really need to know how the motor works in order to drive one? No. All you have to know is how to turn on the vehicle, make it move and make it stop. The Law of Attraction is just like a car, a tool for getting where you want to go. Learn how to use it and then you will know what to do to make sure you are getting what you truly want whether it is health or wealth or love.
