I’m sure that if you landed on this article you are someone interested about the Law of Attraction.
However, there is still a huge gap for a lot people between being interested in the Law of Attraction, trying to apply it into their life, and actually being able to use it the “right” way so to speak.
The purpose of this post is to help you to bridge that gap.
First of all, at the risk of sounding redundant, let me remind you that the Law of Attraction is not something that works only if you believe in it or understand it. The law of attraction is at work for every single person on earth 24/7, whether you’ve mastered the use of it for your own good, or have never even heard of it yet.
The Law of Attraction is at work whether you’re a man, a woman, a child, poor, rich, smart, not so smart, good, bad and so on.
Every time you’re in doubt about this, think “law of gravity”, and try to see if it doesn’t apply to any of the cases above.
So, now that we all agree that we attract stuff to us, no matter what; let’s see how we can become AWARE of what type of stuff we are attracting, and how we can CHANGE that.
Understanding Our Natural Protective Mechanisms
If you’d stick your finger in hot boiling water, how would you know that? What tells you, hey it’s hot, get your finger out of here!
Well, you’d know it because you have nerves at the tips of your finger that send signals to your brain. As a matter of fact, those nerves can send precise signals and let you know if the water is cold, freezing, warm, very warm, hot, or very hot. Your sense of touch will let you know. Are you following me thus far?
The reason why your sense of touch will let you know is that if, for example, the water is extremely hot your finger could get burned if you don’t take your finger out of there at the fist signal.
We are born with such natural signal mechanisms. We don’t ever have to learn them at all.
We are also born with another mechanism, and it’s the ability to sense when we “feel good” or when we “feel bad”. It’s actually the same type of mechanism that tells us to take our finger out of the hot water so we don’t get burn When we feel bad it’s a signal to us that we need to get out of that type of hot water. If we don’t, we can actually get burn pretty badly as well in a figurative sense.
When you are basically bathing in any type of negative feelings which don’t feel good, you know that what you’re attracting won’t be great either. But why?
Understanding Energy
All we are is energy. You, your dog, your car, your dining table, the trees in your garden, the water in your well, your house. Everything around you is energy. It’s just energy at different frequency. Sounds, thoughts and feelings are energy too. And just like two opposite poll magnets, energy attracts like energy. This is the science, so to speak, of the Law of Attraction.
When you feeling down and depressed, if you were able to see the field of energy around you, you’d be able to see that it’s negative energy.
However, even though we can’t see that energy, many people are able to feel it. That’s why you may have heard someone say, that guy game me bad vibes. Or, I had a bad feeling about her.
Animals can feel negative and positive energy very well too. Sometimes, you may notice your dog act different toward a single person.
I remember when I was little my dog who was hyper friendly to everyone and anyone, once was showing his teeth to a guy who was talking to my mother. No doubt that guy had some negative energy coming out of him. My mother and I never doubted that. We couldn’t feel such energy (the negative vibrations about this man), but our dog sure was.
Unfortunately, it’s not because you can’t pick up some energy with your senses that’s in not there. The human ear can’t hear ultra sounds, yet, they do exist.
Energy Attracts Like Energy
When you think “energy”, you need to think “magnet”. Energy is like magnets attracted by each other. That’s why energy attracts energy. If you could walk away with only one thing from this post, make sure you remember that.
Basically, the energy that we are bathing in, so to speak, is the type of energy that is going to come our way. That’s why you hear people say “why me”? Because, usually people saying why me are people who are bathing in bad, negative energy most of the time and are attracting more of it. They can’t escape it. This is one of the Laws of the Universe – the Law of Attraction.
When we feel bad about something, it’s actually a warning (like the finger in the hot water) that we need to get out of there ASAP!
The sharp pain that we feel on the tip of our finger in hot water is our senses that scream at us to get that finger out. The bad and negative feelings that we experience is a natural signal that something is not right, and that we are not in alignment with our higher self. That’s why we feel bad, and it’s screaming at us to get out of it!
Unfortunately, most people ignore such signals, unlike the hot water test. To use the term that my friend coach Melody Fletcher uses “people are bathing in hot and warm water for a very long time”. They became insensitive to bad feelings. They’ve got used to. It’s part of their life.
So, how can you get out of that warm and hot water?
Switching your Energy to Attract what you Want
Now that you understand our natural protective mechanisms and how energy works, you need to learn how to switch your energy when your feelings are telling you that’s something is not right. This may be the hardest part, yet, it’s totally doable with a little practice.
When I say the hardest, I don’t mean hard in the sense that it’s complicated. No, it’s actually simple, but you will have to use your brain power to apply it.
Have you ever been awaken by an alarm clock that tells you it’s time to get up when all you want to do is stay in bed and sleep? What makes you get up?
Well, what makes you get up is that you’ve got to do something. You’ve got to get up to go achieve that something. You just can’t stay in bed or you’ll be late to wherever you have to go or do. So, you are using all your “brain power” to pull your body out of that bed. People do that every single day, don’t they?
It’s the same thing when you feel overwhelmed by bad feelings. You need to use your brain power to snap out of it like you use your brain power to snap out of bed. However, I’m not going to leave you in the cold with that thought only. I’m going to give you some steps to follow.
Learn to become aware of your feelings
For most people it’s very hard to be aware of their thoughts, but a great way to control your thoughts is to notice when you are feeling “bad”. Think finger in not water. You wouldn’t leave your finger in hot water, would you? Then, don’t linger in bad negative feelings either.
How to Snap Out of Negative Feelings
I know it’s easier said than done, but you can snap out of bad and negative feelings in the matter of seconds by using the following tools:
1 – Visualizations
You can use positive visualization. It could be “your perfect day”, visualizing yourself surrounded by a bright white light, recalling a happy memory or your goals in life. Get used to have a go-to-ready-visualization every time you feel bad and it will become a habit.
2 – Affirmations
You can start saying out loud some or your positive affirmations. The same as for the visualizations, have a couple of affirmation ready to go each time you catch yourself feeling down.
3 – Music
You can start playing your favorite upbeat music. I have some favorite songs that put me in an instant good mood that I play when I feel my energy going down. Try it it really works.
Keep doing what works for you until your feeling has changed
You natural mechanism will let you know when you’ve snapped out of a negative feeling and switch to a good, positive feeling. The moment you’ve switched to a positive feeling, your vibrations will be higher. Higher vibrations will bring about higher results.
This is how you are going to start seeing positive results and noticing that your are attracting more positive things in your life.
Remember, the Law of Attraction is at work each and everyday, and each and every day you can work it for your own good.
So, do you have your own recipe to attract good stuff in your life? Do tell us down below!
Well explained Sylviane!
Your message in the post was loud and clear for all of us. 🙂
Yes indeed, we do tend to feel the hot water and pull out our fingers because of the reason you explained, and yes – I could relate to the incidence of the dog too who are quick to make out the negative vibes. I’ve seen my dog growl at a few people even though they are frequent visitors to our house, and this is the main reason – they can sense and see things much beyond we humans can.
We do need to work on the negative vibes that surround us and turn them into positive energy, and you gave some nice ways to do that. I do use music and affirmations mostly when I feel low and they work wonders. I guess when we are able to visualize and see the brighter side of things – it instantly boosts our energy levels too.
I think it’s all in our mind, and as you said it’s using our brain power to turn those negative thoughts or feelings into the positive ones. And if we want, we can easily do that.
Thanks for sharing this with us. Have a nice week ahead 🙂

Hi Harleena,
Well, you seem to have gotten the point. While these exercises take paractice and “will”, it’s also a matter of making them a habit so we can get out of that negative vibration vicious circle as fast as possible.
Animals are so naturally positive pure energy, maybe that’s why they smell negative energy so well 🙂 I love that about them. They can teach us, humans, a lot about that.
Thank you for sharing your input, Harleena 🙂
Sylviane Nuccio invites you to read..How To Use Your Natural Senses To Attract What You Want In Your Life
Sylviane, that was the best explanation I’ve read to date. That’s what I love about you, you explain it so that we can easily understand how this all works.
For the majority of us who first even heard the word law of attraction, we had no clue what that meant or how it worked. I remember for the longest time not really getting it mainly because the people who were explaining it to me were talking over my head. I just didn’t get it.
Anything in life that we want isn’t easy. We have to work at it and do our best to understand how we can change the way we’re currently doing things. We all know if we keep doing what we’re doing, nothing will ever change. Well heck, that’s no fun.
I have a few people who are going to love this post so I’m passing it along girl. Thank you again for this beautiful explanation. Oh and by the way, Kayla has come across a few of those people too! Guess what! She was right too. 😉

Hi Adrienne,
Ah! You made my day! I love when I read that people really get it when I try to explain it to them. I totally get what you’re saying. I’ve read tons of personal development material stuff over the years, and some were not easily explained. But they should!
If I can do this I know it will be the base of my coaching career/business. Come to Sylviane, the coach that can explain it to you in a way you WILL UNDERSTAND! Right? 🙂
I’m gald Kayla has a great sense for feeling energy, like most dogs. Aren’t they lucky? 🙂 Actually I didn’t mention it, but cats do too. Most animals can and few humans who work on it 🙂
I’m so glad you enjoyed this post. Makes me feel great!
Sylviane Nuccio invites you to read..How To Use Your Natural Senses To Attract What You Want In Your Life
Hi Sylviane, I have missed reading your posts here! I’m glad I caught this one because I love your points and your analogies. “Finger in hot water” – that makes perfect sense. We are much more likely to “listen” to our senses but not so likely to listen to our feelings. We don’t trust ourselves when we have a gut reaction or when we’re uncomfortable or unhappy. We think we must be wrong, or something must be wrong with us. But we wouldn’t leave our finger in hot water and wonder if we were crazy to feel hot, so why do we wonder if we’re crazy to keep our entire selves immersed in negativity??
Thinking negative thoughts gets negative reactions. And negative reactions get MORE negative reactions. We can end up in a terrible circle and it can feel like there is no way out. I’m glad you have some ideas for getting out, and even though it can be hard to change our thoughts, we have to be prepared to do it. If we want to succeed and be better, we need to immerse ourselves in GOOD things. That means thinking good things, expecting good things and striving for good things. I know it’s not always the easiest thing in the world but the only other option is to continue being miserable and getting miserable things back.
So I agree with your premise, and I hope that anyone who is struggling with these types of issues will find your post!

Hi Carol,
Well, I sure noticed you no being here and sure missed you 🙂 Some commenters I’d miss more than others for sure, and you one of those that I’d miss.
The law of attraction is so misunderstood still, by so many people. Yet, it’s simple. Not easy to practice, always, but simple. Actually all laws of the Universe are simple, it’s just that people try to make it sound so darn complicated. There no need for that.
I know that you’ve got it though. The more you’re entertaining bad thoughts which generate bad feelings the more likely bad stuff will come along in your life. The more the other way around the more good stuff will start happening.
Yes, people pay attention to physical signals but not to intuitions, I guess it’s because we are too far gone from our spiritual self. It’s a good thing that people are looking more into this nowadays.
So, glad to see you back here and hope you’re not working too hard 🙂

Hi Sylvianne,
Your blog (this one) is now in my Feedley list which is great because I usually go to your other blog and miss this one.
I really understand what you are saying and I’ve been interested in this subject for a very long time.
We really can control our thoughts and also the energy they create. That is one reason goal setting is so important…it helps to keep your thoughts focused on what you desire. Then you can set about to accomplish what needs to be done.
Really enjoyed this post.
Thanks,

Hi Tonya,
Well, I’m so glad you’be bookmarked this blog. Thanks for that 🙂
When I wrote this post, I thought I had a winner, and so far, from the comments and shares that I’m getting it seems that my intuition was right.
Thanks for bringing up goal setting. You are so right, a goal will keep your moral up, and it will help you keep going and focused even when you have days where you might feel down. We all have them once in a while. The point is not to stay there too long and try to snap out of it as soon as we can.
I’m glad you like this post. Really dear to my heart when people do 🙂
Hi Sylviane,
This post is an excellent explanation of the Law of Attraction. I like your analogy of your finger in hot water. That is something that is easy to remember to help snap out of negativity. Wouldn’t it be great if we could see the energy fields around each person? It sure would make it easier. Thank you for the not letting us hang and giving really great, practical ways to change our state of mind by using our brain power. I know for me, music really helps to get me out of a cranky or negative mood. Visualizations are also very helpful.
I know this is something that takes practice, but you’ve explained it so well, I can see it is doable. It’s time to shift to our higher self and we have the ability to do it! Thanks for sharing. I love this blog!

Hi Raena,
I guess this left you speechless! Just kiding 🙂 it’s just that it was a short one according to your standards, but it’s a good practice for you.
I think that the best way to relate things to people so they can understand a rather difficult concept is by giving them easy “mental images” they can get and remember. The finger in hot water is one of them.
I’ve been told many, many times that people really GET it when they read my posts and this is so sweet to my ears.
I love it that you love this blog, Raena. My goal is not that people will come on this blog because they feel that they have too because I post it on a comment group or anywhere, but because they WANT too 🙂
So, far that has worked this way for me with not only this blog, but all three 🙂
Thanks for coming 🙂
Sylviane Nuccio invites you to read..How To Use Your Natural Senses To Attract What You Want In Your Life
Hello Sylviane
This can be an eye-opener for so many, if they are ready to learn and understand. Yes everything and everyone has the energy force. It can be released as positive or negative, base on the thoughts that are filtering through the mind at the present time.
Our thoughts do create energy, so if we are having a “bad day” then we are responsible to make the day positive by affirmations, music and just on purpose declare what kind of day we want to have.
Thank you

Thank you for coming and reading this post.
Have a great week end 🙂

Sylviane,
I needed that post. Recently I have had a lot of things happen in my life and have really had to work on the positive energy and getting rid of the negative.
You did such a fabulous job of explaining the law of attraction. That was great. I also like your suggestions to help surround yourself with positive energy. I know those but it was a great reminder.
I think the thing so many people do not get it they are going to attract something. If they want to attract the right thing then they really need to work on the energy they have around themGreat post.

Sylviane,
I love this post! I watched The Secret about five years ago. Since then, I’ve been trying to learn all I can about the law of attraction. Slowly, over time, I’ve made changes. I’ve withdrawn myself from negative people and negative talk. I listen to motivational tapes. I spend more time with my husband, who has to be the most positive, happy, caring person I know. I’ve scheduled positive affirmations on my phone that pop up every hour. I can’t tell you how much things have changed. I’m now finding the people I associate with now are all more positive, happy, healthy people. This really works. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Sylviane,
How much I needed that post. You know that recently I have had a lot of things happen in my life and have really had to work on the positive energy but I am having hard time to bounce back this time. It’s taking me longer than usual and this post just came on time.
You did a great job explaining the law of attraction. I heard about it and I saw many explanations about it but I never understood it the way I understood it now from your post. You did an amazing job Sylviane as always and I will definitely use your suggestions to help me surround myself with positive energy. I really need it to get back to myself again and start attracting positive energy.
Thanks Sylviane for such a great information and reminder. You are amazing.
Be Blessed,

Hi Neamat,
Well, my favorite thing I like to hear about my posts is that the reader found them at the right time for them. That’s how I know that I am truly inspired by the Universe when I write for this blog. In all humility 🙂
Recovering from a loss is most definitely the hardest thing to do. It is undeniably a process that we need to go through. But knowing that death is a normal course of life and that physical life is just part of what we experience as human beings is comforting and helps us to move on.
If you use the tips mentioned above, along with prayers, it will most definitely help you.

Thanks for the tips which is what we really needed on how to snap out of the bad energy and get to the good. Affirmations are a great way for sure and one I use daily. And you know music is ‘the’ way I change my mood, my feelings and my energy! Since I dance, it is constantly with me so it works like a charm. Great, great post Sylviane.

Hi Sylviane
Very well explained and great ideas on how to make it work for us.
I agree with the animals sensing negative in some people. If my cat doesn’t like you, maybe I shouldn’t also (well that was the case when I had super friendly felines…the guys I have now are not as social).
Many years ago I was at a friend’s house and this guy came to pick up something from him. The guy seemed nice enough but I did not fear him, but the child in me told me to keep a table between him and me. Did not know where that came from. After the guy left my friend told me that the guy’s ex-wife had filed charges against him for sexually assaulting his young daughters. Then I knew why I had this feeling, because the charges were real. At the time I did not know how to respond, today I would have told my friend that the charges were accurate. It made a believer out of me for picking up negative energy, even when you can’t explain why.
Mary
Mary Stephenson invites you to read..The Healing Power of Forgiveness
Hi Mary,
What a great story. I love it when people can be a testimony to the fact that we are able to catch negative energy just like a radio can catch air waves. neither of the two are visible to the eye, but they sure do exist.
I’ve been able to catch negative energy people many times myself. When you meet someone that you don’t even know, but for some reason, you don’t like them, that’s just because you feel a negative energy. Most time we are not consciously aware of it, but that’s what it is. We should always listen to such energy/feeling.
Thank you so much for relating your experience.
Great detail information on the law of attraction. I like your list. Personally I don’t do affirmations no more, but afformation where you ask yourself an empowered question for your subconscious to answer automatically. I do listen to good music when I’m in an melancholy move or even when I’m looking for ideas and answers. I’ll go for a walk, listening to my ipod, then all of a sudden some good idea comes to play. Thanks for sharing this great info. on the law of attraction.
Hi Sherman, and welcome to my blog.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us and how you use such tools to switch your mood.
Hi Syliviane,
Perfect! It’s a perfect explanation 🙂
I really love how you embed examples in your writing and they never let use my brain to analyze 😉 lol… Just fetching and storing in my mind with no analyzation.
I like the flow here and very true about Natural Protective Mechanism. No debate there and we all know what’s it about.
You remind me of the post about vibes you published here and I had no idea about ’em until then. Personally, I’ve experienced similar incidents how animals do feel negative vibes Sylviane. They weren’t faking it. It’s real and I think they feel it better than human beings. But if we master it, it can do wonders, no? 🙂
Music works best for me Sylviane 🙂 It always been my mood fixer and keep me up and running without worrying about tiredness or any negative feeling. Well, too much would be too bad, but here it’s about attracting positivity. Hmm… I can relate to visualization too, but Music in on top of all for me.
Thanks for wonderful article and I feel that you wanted to tell ’em all so badly with such an explanation 😉 I’m sure everyone comes here would love it.
Cheers…

Hi Mayura,
I’m glad you enjoyed this post.
Yes, music works great, doesn’t it? It works great for me too.
I know animals are better than humans at feeling energy, it’s very strong in them. As human we need to make the extra effort to be better at this. But it’s possible.
Yes, people have loved this post so far.
Thank you for coming 🙂
Hi Sylviane,
I love the way you have explained the Law of Attraction! The examples you used were wonderful. Putting your finger in hot water, your brain responds and before you say Ouch…your finger is out of the water.
Yes, the same applies with energy. I also like the example of how your dog would know the energy of someone who was negative. I like that example the best because when you look at animal behavior, they work with energy more than we ever can. We say our pets “sense” something. Well, so do we! We just have to have the awareness of it, believe it and act upon it.
Everything is composed of energy. Like does attract like. May I add an example? In my Psychic Business, new clients come to me all the time. I always enjoy them. Why is it that people come to me and I don’t dread helping them? Because of the law of attraction! I put my mind into that business only accepting people who are open to a good energy, no matter how bad their problems are. Once in a while someone may slip in, but I tell them I cannot work with them and blame myself. In 30 years it only happened a few times.
I came from a negative energy family and young adulthood, but I made the “switch” and yes, anyone can do it if they are willing. The examples you gave such as affirmations, visualizations, music, anything that feels good to you do work.
You have done a wonderful job here explaining it so well.
Thank you,
Donna

Hi Donna,
I know that you were busy last week, so I am so glad you made it here as I love to have feedbacks from you because you know all about those things as well.
Yes, our pets have a fantastic sense of energy, but humans can too, it’s just that most people just don’t focus on energy and don’t do any king of work to develop it. But it can be done.
I certainly appreciate your example as a psychic and the fact that you’re making a point to “attract” the right type of clients. That’s very important. If there is a negative energy between you and your client it can really mess up results I believe.
Thank you for coming by, Donna.
