The Law of Attraction- What it is and the Psychology Behind Why it Works

The Law of Attraction Debunked

In relatively recent years, the Law of Attraction has gained popularity as a way of transforming people’s lives, offering the seductive promise of control over their destiny. It has enforced the belief that anything is possible, and become a tool now gatekeeped by some and shared by others. I believe, as someone who has witnessed it’s transformative power in my own life, that the Law of Attraction is something we should all have access to. I’m here to debunk and demystify it, explaining how it works, from my perspective, based on my own research and experience.

As simple as making a wish and blowing out a candle

There are many that dismiss the Law of Attraction as something mysterious and eccentric. The truth is, that it’s simply a name for manifestation practise, which we’re all far more familiar with than we realise. It can be found in most religions via the practise of prayer and is the basis for most magical practises (as found in witchcraft and wicca for example). Simple manifestation rituals are something we unwittingly grow up with, like making a wish when blowing out birthday candles or upon a shooting star. It’s used whenever we try to ‘think of a positive outcome’ in an attempt to improve a difficult situation.

So What is It?

It is the Law which states that whatever you visualise and think about, whatever you believe to be true, you attract to yourself. Your thoughts become your reality.

In philosophy, the idea comes up again and again.

What you think, you become.
What you feel, you attract.
What you imagine, you create.

-Buddha

Cogito, ergo sum. I think therefore I am.

-Descartes
