From the Ramona Sentinel: Several laws govern everyone in this world. This is regardless of age, race, sex, nationality or religious background. By virtue of being universal and all encompassing, these laws cannot be changed, nor can they be broken. The most powerful among them is the universal law of attraction.
What is stated in the universal law of attraction? To put in very simple terms, it simply says that you get what you give. If you give off positive energy, you get back positive energy. If you emit negative energy, then you shouldn’t be surprised when something negative comes back to you. The universal law of attraction is very similar to the law of karma, which also espouses the “like attracts like” principle.
Every human being is a magnet for different kinds of events and situations. Whether or not we deliberately give out positive and negative energy, the law of attraction is at play. In fact, it is so powerful that some people use the principles of the law as their mantra to lead very positive and manageable lives. It gives reinforcement to the golden rule, which says, “do unto others what you want them to do unto you.”
How do you take advantage of the universal law of attraction to live a more calm and stress-free life? Consider these tips:
From the Daily Planet: James Ray, self-help guru, bestselling author of The Secret, and close personal friend of Oprah and Dr. Phil (whose on-air shilling contributed mightily to the success of his book), has finally been arrested for manslaughter in connection with the killings he caused last October at a resort in Arizona.
The case involved participants who’d paid over $9,000 each to be led by Ray in a four-day-long retreat that would supposedly turn them into “spiritual warriors.”
At the end of several days in which people fasted and tramped around in the desert, Ray, a disciple of a New Age doctrine called The Law of Attraction, marched his would-be warriors into a makeshift sweat lodge. There, within a shockingly ill-designed structure constructed from plastic sheeting held in place by old tires and offering only one small escape route for the 60 people roasting inside in pitch-black darkness, two people died on the spot while another, a 49-year old woman from Bloomington, died a few days later.
From Psychology Today: The coffee-shop waitress is a classic American icon — for a reason. Coffeepot in hand, she is a surrogate mother or girlfriend or confidante, servile yet wise and eternal. Sometimes we even see her as a sage. Buzzing hither and yon, bearing sustenance to strangers and regulars, she soothes us — as if her very presence proves that some things in the world, at least, will never change. But as she dashes and delivers, providing refills, what is she thinking and how does she feel?
Candacy Taylor wanted to know. Having waitressed as a grad student several years ago, Taylor — whom I interviewed recently — “found the job physically and emotionally draining and couldn’t imagine doing it for fifty years,” as many career waitresses have done. She assumed that they felt depressed, hopeless and stuck. So she traveled over 26,000 miles around the United States interviewing and photographing some sixty longtime coffee-shop waitresses. The result is her new book, Counter Culture. And the process completely shattered Taylor’s assumptions.
From Evolver: First things first, let’s get an idea for who these so called new agers and world savers I’m referring to are. I’m sure you know a few…
Typically, they:
*Are perennially perky, positive people who see nothing but love and light, and encourage you to do the same even in your darkest hour.
*Are obsessively concerned with their carbon footprint (and yours) and bandy buzz words around like “sustainable,” “organic,” and “green.”
*Follow Indian gurus, silently hold that theirs is better than yours, and tell you that “we’re all one.”
*Sometimes can’t be around your “negative vibe.”
*Preach that vegetarian, vegan, and raw diets are far superior to any other.
From ExpertClick: Research shows that there is a “breakup season” between New Year’s and Valentine’s Day, when couples are more than twice as likely to split than at any other time of year. Whether you’ve experienced a change in a relationship two days ago, or ten years ago, many times there are emotions that linger, and nag at you. This is when you need CLOSURE.
With Closure and the Law of Relationship: Endings as New Beginnings, lifestyle and relationship expert Lissa Coffey takes an in-depth look at the course of relationships in our lives and shows how each can be a learning tool in our journey of Self-awakening. “When we can look at the people in our lives as teachers or students,” Coffey says, “and as being there at a specific time for a specific purpose, then we will value our relationships all the more”
In this inspiring and practical book, Coffey takes us on a journey of human relationships as she speaks about the ties we create with our parents, partners, siblings, children, friends and coworkers. Coffey says the Law of Relationship is a tool we can use much in the same way as we use the Law of Attraction. It explains our universal interconnectedness and puts forth the point that we are here to help each other learn and grow.
From The First Reporter: Dr. Rick Schaefer, the author of the revolutionary program Extreme Thought Makeover, asks the questions “Do you feel as if you are being stifled in your career or professional life? Do you worry that you are stuck in your current job, and have little to no chance of moving forward in your chosen career path?” Living in a sense of frustration will only keep you stuck where you are. You need to change your outlook in order to change and advance your professional life.
People have been using the law of attraction for years in order to help them in their personal and professional lives. For those of you who are uninformed as to just what the law of attraction is, here is a quick definition: The law of attraction is the basic principle that what people receive in life will be determined based upon the kind of energy they put out into the world. As in, if you go to work every day with a negative and despondent attitude, the progress of your career will reflect that negativity by remaining at a standstill. “To help you improve your professional life with the law of attraction, here are some tips to help you along the way” Dr. Schaefer offered.
Mark Romero
Mark Romero, is a name synonymous with success in both his personal and professional life, and his ability to mentor and “teach” success, and individual fulfillment… to others.
Throughout a 19-year career in the electronics industry, Mark continually challenged the traditional models that governed how to be successful. As he climbed the corporate ladder, Mark studied the “masters” of success from the worlds of business, life, philosophy, wisdom and self-help…absorbing the essence that made each of them excel. It was the catalyst for Mark’s own remarkable success.
“What he discovered was an essential core foundation of principles and pathways inherent in all he studied. And what emerged was the clear understanding that there exist many options by which these pathways can be accessed and how we can truly live successful lives.”
From the Mail Online: I know that women have other things to think about than how men see them, but when they do dress with men in mind, they should remember these immutable laws of attraction. A short skirt is the tunic of youth. It conjures up hockey and marching bands. A cheerleader is a pretty sight, especially when it’s you she’s cheering, but no man wants to spend the evening discussing Nietzsche with her at The Ritz.
Even less would he care to be with an older woman who is trying to look like a cheerleader. If a woman’s voice should be low, so should the length of her skirt. The only thing that should be high is the neckline. Don’t think of it as hiding. Think of it as being subtle.
And pity the poor girl who must be a flurry of near-naked limbs to feel secure in her attractiveness.
From Sojones.com: The inspiration for our Spring/Summer ’10 collection is love. I believe in the laws of attraction, and if you want to attract love into your life, you need to project love to the world. So we titled the collection “Summer of Love” and created designs that make you reminisce about your first love, your high school sweetheart, that once-in-a-lifetime summer love you experienced while vacationing in some exciting place. I think that if we hold onto these positive ideas, rather than focusing on the things that complicate love for us as we move on through life, that we’ll be ready to receive it when it’s in front us. So definitely look out for vibrant fluorescent, 80’s-meets-90’s colorways, super-original detailing like hearts that are made out of bent and open zippers (a must-see in person), and graphics of couples in love. There’s a really flirty, girly-feel to this collection, but it’s still edgy because we incorporate metallic trims and hardware like over-sized zippers. We try to bring together both elements – toughness and femininity – throughout the collection.
