Beyond the Law of Attraction: How Understanding the Other Universal Laws Can Help You

I’m sure you know about the Law of Attraction, which is simply “that which I put my energy, attention and focus on, I attract into my life.” But did you know there are many other universal laws at play? The Law of Attraction is an umbrella overshadowing the other universal laws that are all connected and work together. Understanding how these laws work can greatly increase your awareness and success in life.

What are universal laws, or as they are sometimes called, spiritual laws?

Everything that exists has a physical and spiritual component to it. The physical deals with matter–the things we can see and touch. Physical laws are like the law of gravity, for example. The spiritual component deals with energy. You can’t see it, but may feel it. The universal laws dictate how energy behaves. The great thing is, quantum physics has been able to scientifically verify many of these laws. They have always been in existence and those who consciously and deliberately apply them can attest to them.

When you consider that YOU are both physical and spiritual, you see why it is important to understand these laws. You wouldn’t let go of a bowling ball over your foot and expect it to float. You know, from understanding the law of gravity, that it will come crashing down on your foot, causing injury. The same applies to universal laws. Your life runs better when you understand them.

The Law of Vibration:

Let’s start with the Law of Vibration, since it’s the basis for the Law of Attraction. It simply says that everything vibrates at one speed or another–each vibrates at its own frequency. We know this because we can look at something that seems solid through an electron microscope and see the energy in motion, even though it is a very slow vibration. Going beyond the atoms to subatomic particles, we see all that is left is energy and energy is in constant motion. Even our thoughts give out a vibration which can be measured. We are literally living in a sea of energy, which is often called the unified field in science. So, we appear separate from each other and all other things because we are all vibrating at our own frequency. We are actually all connected through the unified field, just at different frequencies.

We are great interpreters of vibration. Every sound you hear is a vibration, interpreted by your brain as words, music or sounds in nature. Every color you see is the color it is because of its vibrational frequency and your brain’s interpretation of that frequency. When you understand the everything, including your thoughts is energy vibrating, you now realize that you can change your outer world by changing your thoughts. Vibration attracts like vibrations.

The Law of Sufficiency and Abundance:

This law states that we live in an abundant universe. Just think about trying to count the blades of grass in your lawn or all the pebbles in a stream bed or the stars in the sky. There are too many to count! We live in an abundant universe and the supply is not limited. It only appears so if our thinking is limited. We open ourselves up to this abundance by tuning in to the sufficiency aspect of this law. When you feel what you have is sufficient and are grateful for it, you put yourself in vibrational alignment with attracting more.

So, if you want more money, be grateful for what you do have. Notice that you have money, even if it is just $2 in your bank account. If you hate your job, what are the positive aspects that you can find in it? Perhaps it is simply that it is a steady paycheck, or maybe there is a co-worker you enjoy or some specific task that you like. When you are able to get into the feeling place of, “What I have is sufficient and I am grateful for it and look forward to expanding into more,” then you are in the best place to create more of what you want. The more you look for things to appreciate, the more you notice what is going right and tune into the feeling of abundance, the more will show up in your reality.

I suggest keeping an evidence journal as well as a gratitude journal. When you look for evidence of your increased abundance or whatever else you want in your life, you'll find it. Evidence doesn't need to be the big thing that you want. It's those steps leading up to it that add to your life in small and delightful ways. Someone treating you to lunch is evidence of abundance. Finding a dime is evidence. If you are looking for more love in your life, smiling at someone who smiles back is evidence. Your dog licking your face is evidence. Allow the universe to bring you the essence of what you want and include it in your gratitude. Watch what happens!
