Law of Attraction

[ULuvCeCe]

Do you believe in the Law of Attraction as promoted in The Secret or do you think it is rubbish? If you do believe in it, what has happened to you that you felt resulted from this?

I do believe your body  believes everything you say.

Here's how Wiki describes it -

The Law of Attraction is a metaphysical New Thought belief that "like attracts like”, that positive and negative thinking bring about positive and negative physical results, respectively. According to the Law of Attraction, the phrase "I need more money" allows the subject to continue to "need more money". If the subject wants to change this they would focus their thoughts on the goal (having more money) rather than the problem (needing more money). This might take the form of phrases such as "I will make more money" or "I will find a job that pays very well"

So you believe if you tell your body I am healthy and that if you are sick all you have to do is think positive and you'll be fine?

I don't believe it.

What did a newborn who was born ill think to cause him or her to be sick?

The only law of attraction I believe in is doing good and helping people attracts those who need help, which can make you RICH.

I never really knew the real meaning of it until I looked at the replies.

I do believe your mind can be very powerful. For example, my great grandpa was sick and dying and he waited to see all of his family, and then passed away. I think he was able to hold on until he was happy with seeing everyone. But, I do not think all you have to do is think positively for good things to happen. You have to make it happen! You have to work at your goal and not depend on the mind or other people to make it happen for you.

I think the laws of attraction have nothing to do with anyone else...It is what your mind says to you and how you deal with it.

I believe if you stay focused on want you want, willing to take action...you will eventually receive.  How long will it take, is it magical - NO WAY!!!  I don't think you can just sit here and magically attract things to you.  But by staying open and positive, you're more aware of the opportunities around you that can get you where you would like.

I certainly believe in it--both positive and negative.  If you dwell on something you don't have, you will not get it because you aren't providing the positive energy needed to change your surroundings.  If, however, you focus on what you want, and do it in a positive manner, you have taken the first step to obtaining it.  Positive affirmations can and do work, but not solely the affirmations themselves.  You do need to set goals and then push towards the goals by acting on the hunches you get as part of your intuitive side. 

We all have the power.  All you have to do is believe and most of all, remain positive!

sounds like good advise, we all need to hear these words. and actually is how we do magikal works. we dont just cast a spell and hope things come, we cast, meditate, and take steps to manifest our wishes, our desires
