The Law of Attraction is a simple, yet powerful, tool. The Law of Attraction states that in order to achieve your desire, you simply need to think about it, focus on it, behave as though you already have it, and be open to receiving it.

These four simple steps, it is believed, can allow you to achieve and receive everything you have ever desired. Some people believe that this theory works because the energy in the cosmos is always moving; others believe it to be magic.

In all actuality, long before the Law of Attraction became known in the movie The Secret, people were achieving their desires in a very similar way, only they were calling it “magic.”

1) Understanding the Law of Attraction

The Laws are simple enough to understand. They state that, in order to achieve what you want, you need to figure out what you desire and why you desire it. The next step is to focus on your desire. You need to think about it and center your thoughts on it so the cosmos knows exactly what it is you want.

Next, behave as though you were already granted your desire. If you want love, you need to act as though you are in love. If you want fame, you need to act as though you are famous. The last step is to be open to the world, so that you can see the opportunities that the cosmos will present to you.

2) Understanding “Magic”

Those that have practiced and studied magic know that the most powerful form of magic is a wish. Another simple spell involves burning a candle, one with a specific color to represent your desires, and a piece of paper.

The practitioner writes down on the paper what they desire. They then burn the paper to ashes, allowing the smoke to soar into the heavens so that the universe can know what it is they truly want. Does this sound a bit like the Law of Attraction? It is very similar. Both the Laws and magic believe that you can only achieve what you desire by letting the cosmos know what it is.

3) Attitude

The Law of Attraction forbids a bad attitude throughout the process. Everyone has a bad day now and again, but getting angry, distraught, or frustrated for long periods of time will not help your quest.

The Laws state that you can not be open to achieving your desire if you are not happy and content with what you already have. If you put a lot of negativity out into the world, the Laws state that the negativity will come back to you instead of your desire.

4) Law of 3

Once again, magic and the Law of Attraction have something in common! The first creed that any magic practitioner agrees upon is the law of 3. This simple law state that whatever you put into the universe will come back to you times three.

So if you put a lot of negativity into the world, that negativity will multiply three times and return to haunt you. It is the main reason why those that practice magic strive to “harm ye none.” They do not want to be harmed themselves.

5) Does It Work?

Some people swear by the Law of Attraction. Some people swear by magic. But does it work for everyone? That is a tricky question. If you do not put yourself out there and open yourself to the experience, you will achieve nothing. If you hold back what you desire or do not focus on it enough, you will also probably achieve nothing! Neither the Law of Attraction nor magic are meant to be used as a crutch. They are meant to be used as a tool to allow you to achieve your desire. Only by letting your wishes be known to the universe, or your desire known to the cosmos, will you be able to have exactly what you want.

So how do you start? Very simply: by figuring out what it is you truly desire. Sit down and figure out what you need and why you need it. If it is money you’re after, do you want just enough to pay the mortgage, or enough to pay off the house? If you desire love, do you want it to be for a lifetime, or for a night?

Figuring out what you want is the first hurdle to jump. After that, you can decide for yourself which you would prefer. As for myself? I figure that either way is great, but both together is even better.
