Have you ever met someone for the first time and found yourself feeling an immediate connection him or her? Perhaps you experienced the opposite, and you felt immediately repelled by someone. Anains Nin once said, “We don't see things as they are; we see them as we are.” Her statement is so simple; yet it is profound when used to understand our experience of life, in particular when understanding the Law of Attraction: the idea that like attracts like.
How does this work? It is rather simple. Thought, like everything else, vibrates with energy. Those who “vibrate” at a particular energy level attract others who are “vibrating” on that same level. In a previous blog, I explained how two instruments tuned to each other and placed in the same room will resonate. This is the same idea with the Law of Attraction. On a subconscious level, we seek like-minded people in our lives; they resonate with us. Something within us is attracted to their energy. Generally speaking, this is why positive people tend to keep company with positive people; negative people seek out negative people; people who love “drama” tend to find others with the same interest; spiritual people seek fellow spiritual people, etc. They are all vibrating at the same energy level. Quite simply, our connections around us are merely extensions of who we are.
Perhaps this is nothing new to you. If you are in a good place, like the types of people you are attracting to your life/your world, and you generally feel at peace – congrats! No doubt you have an understanding of the Law of Attraction. What If, however, you are like many others, and you are wondering why you find yourself hurt over and over again or wondering why you feel so negative all the time. Well, no doubt you have heard the old saying that misery loves company. Challenge yourself to look inward. Are you giving off that same energy? Are people around you resonating with the vibrations of your energy? Are you merely getting what you are projecting? I completely understand that it is a tough pill to swallow, and it is rather harsh sounding, but time and time again it is proven true; we are seeing the world as we are, we are subconsciously choosing the company we keep; we are subconsciously choosing to be treated the way others treat us. Ouch!
Perhaps you are beginning to realize the energy you are projecting, or maybe you are experiencing dissonance, a feeling that you are not tuned in to those around you. How can we learn to "vibrate" on a different level? How can we feel "tuned in" in a positive way? Quite simply, consciously seek out others who vibrate with you, or seek people who vibrate on the level on which you wish to vibrate. Need to feel positivity? Volunteer for a cause; give back. Need to feel spiritual connections? Head to a church; join a church group, or practice yoga in a group setting. Choose who you want to resonate with and make it happen; after all, it is a choice It is empowering. You are not a victim; you truly can change your world/your reality by changing your energy – one thought at a time.
