The Law of Attraction is like gravity?

A couple of days ago, I was talking to a colleague of mine, Leah, about how interesting it is to hear people say that they’re trying to get the Law of Attraction to work for them.  Because from what I understand and believe, the Law of Attraction is always working. Leah agreed and related the Law of Attraction to gravity. They both always work. And I completely agreed with her at that time.

However, as I thought more about this, I wondered if this was a valid analogy. The Law of Attraction always works. It just is. It reflects back your energy, all the time.

But gravity…. can be defied. We have planes. We have balloons. We have anti-gravity simulators. There are no anti-Law of attraction stuff…. not that I am aware of anyway.

Well as luck would have it, or perhaps as the Law of Attraction would have it, I landed on a blog post by Lyman Reed, entitled “How to know if the Law of Attraction is working” that not only talks about how the Law of Attraction is like the law of gravity but also clarifies my confusion.

He says that balloons, planes, etc. do not defy gravity but Instead use energy to lift themselves off the ground. They use energy to help them get where they want to be and without this deliberate use of energy, they would just be earthbound.

Wow!

This is just like the Law of Attraction then. We need to deliberately use our energy to get what we want too.

Lyman says this quite eloquently:

What we are really trying to do is get ourselves into alignment with our desires, so that the the Law of Attraction will work to our advantage – its effects in our lives will be desirable.

When we get clear on what we want, we create the energy that automatically attracts to us what we want. As Lyman says, we basically get into energetic alignment with our desires

Wow, this is so cool. The clarity I am getting around this is amazing!

So, everything that is in our lives right now, we have created based on the energy we are currently putting out there. You might say that they are our default settings. And we can go along and live this way if we want. The Law of Attraction will always reflect back the energy we’re holding.

But…

If you want to change your life – customize the settings, if you will – you need to use your energy differently. It takes more energy at first but later it gets easier.  A rocket needs the most energy to lift off but later it requires less energy.

So, if you want to change your life, what will you do differently today?
