OK. Now, we get into the scientific Law of Attraction. The scientific Law of Attraction
states that an object (physical object, thought, feeling) will naturally attract that with
which it is in vibrational harmony. Strike a tuning fork, and the strings that are in tune
with that vibrating object will also begin to vibrate. Thoughts, ideas, and emotions must
follow this Law of Attraction because they too are "objects" with an energetic vibration.
Now we get to the fun part. I suspect by now you really understand the Law of Attraction
- like attracts like. Like thoughts or feelings attract thoughts and feelings that are vibrat-
ing at the same or similar frequencies. Likewise, these thoughts and feelings attract
PHYSICALobjects (people, events) that are vibrating at a similar frequency.
But, how does our mind actually take all this in and process it?
Your brain is assaulted by thousands of messages each second. Everything you see,
hear, smell, feel and touch is a message entering your brain.
Part of your brain filters through all these messages and decides which ones will move
into your conscious awareness. Have you ever purchased a new car, only to see thou-
sands of that same car and color on the road for the next week? How about when two
people can go to a movie and have entirely different experiences? If you've ever experi-
enced that, you know what I mean by the brain’s filtering mechanism.
When you focus your attention on something you don’t want, for example “I don’t want
to lose any more money!”, you’re telling your brain to flag anything related to losing
money as important. You “see” more evidence to support exactly what you do NOT
want to see! It flags it as important because it's what you're focused on.
Scientists say that the brain is plastic: it can and does remodel itself, sometimes within
a remarkably short period of time. And with the brain, timing is everything. What this
means for you is that as you focus more of your attention on positive thoughts, you are
actually shifting the neural pathways of your brain!
This is why it gets easier as you practice shifting your focus and practicing positive
thoughts! Your brain is actually “reprogramming” itself to notice more positive things.
