# <center>  The Principle of Correspondence and The Law of Attraction </center>

<br>
I’ve been thinking about my experiences with the Law of Attraction over the last few days since I discussed it with my friends, @sunravelme and @clayboyn during our last episode of *The Darkside*.


The basic idea behind the Law of Attraction is that thoughts combined with visualization, intent, and strong emotion can create powerful energies that attract similar energies to you.

The Law of Attraction is deeply related to the 7 Hermetic Principles, specifically the Principle of Correspondence, which is where the saying “As above, so below” comes from.

**The Principle of Correspondence states that what is going on externally around you is a direct reflection of what is going on within you internally.**

If you aren't familiar with these ideas then they may sound a bit strange, but I think most people can relate to them in some way by just thinking about their own life experiences.
When you are feeling positive with good energy, things tend to run smoothly and it seems that more positive things happen.
When you are feeling negative with dark energy, things tend to go wrong and it seems like bad circumstances keep popping up in your life.

During *The Darkside* show I was trying to remember the first time I ever heard of the Law of Attraction and I realized that it was about 17 years ago.
What I realized during the show was that even though I understand the concept of The Law of Attraction, I still get it wrong………even after having this knowledge and understanding for 17 years!


<br>
#  <center> The Darkside of The Law of Attraction - The Vicious Cycle of Negative Energy </center>
<br>
How do I still get it wrong after all these years?
Well, if I had to describe the general state of my mind I would say it would be a frazzled, neurotic funhouse of chaos.
There’s a lot of worry, anxiety, and fear going on in there on a daily basis.
So, what type of energy does that create in my external circumstances?
A bit of chaos and situations that cause….more anxiety and worry.

It’s like a vicious cycle that’s hard to break.
The more I am creating negative circumstances through my own negative thought patterns, the more I continue to think negative thought patterns due to the negative circumstances and so on.

<br>


# <center> Breaking Cycles of Negativity </center>
<br>

"Vicious cycle" is a term people throw around a lot, but that’s really how it is.
It’s like sinking in a swirling vortex that seems impossible to climb out of.
Eventually, the swirling slows down, usually after a good night’s sleep, at which point I can reflect upon a few ideas that have helped me in the past to break out of the cycle of negativity.

Sometimes you just need that metaphorical slap in the face to break you out of those situations.

When I was younger my mom used to tell me to “snap out of it” and constantly say “mind over matter”.
It used to drive me nuts, but she was right.
She didn’t specifically know anything about the Principle of Correspondence or the Law of Attraction, but she understood it on a subconscious and instinctual level as most of us do.
Sometimes you have to just flip that switch and “act” the way you want to feel.
And eventually it will naturally happen.

<center> ***“Fake it till you make it”*** </center>
<br>
### Other techniques for breaking cycles of negativity are:
* yoga or any exercise
* cleaning
* creative outlets (music, drawing, writing)
* spending time with a cat, dog, or other pet
* watching a comedy
* spiritual rituals

<br>

<center> ***If anyone has any other techniques that they use I would love to hear them!*** </center>

Absolutely spot on! It's all about the power of the mind. When you are feeling so positive,  everything positive seem to gravitate towards you but when it is the opposite, the negative vibes get attracted and like your mum used to say; *"Snap out of it"*. Our words and attitude shapes our world. We attract what we allow. The mind must be constantly renewed daily. Reading the Bible helps a lot too.

For me, the very best tool to 'snap out of it' is deepening the understanding of this principal. The more it sinks in that my reality is my creation, the reflection of my inner space, the stronger becomes my motivation to keep that inner space healthy and happy and powerful. In yoga they have a path called Jnana - self realization through understanding. It is such a powerful path. Thank you for your beautiful post!

Hey, very nice post!
I believe that lots of negativity in us stems from resisting the current circumstances too much, instead on focusing on doing what makes us feel good. Whatever you focus on grows :)

You become what you focus on, be more conscious of what you focus on and your life will turn around to bring what you focus on, it is  a very simple thing to do. Fear is also a form of focus, always ask your fearful thoughts "How do you know that?", I mean what you are afraid of never really happened, 
You experience Time in a linear fashion so what you are afraid off is not happening.
Fear and Ego are great negotiators (they are not enemies, nothing is evil in existence, they are just paradoxical for our linear view), 
if you know how to negotiate with them you are good to go, like seriously when a "what if" scenario arises on your mind simply ask it back "and how do you know?"... I mean it is a possibility but since it didn't happen yet it remains to chance, 
which is not definite and can always change.  
We consciously can control our "Luck" or "Fate/Destiny"
See it as a movie, the only difference is that the movie is non-linear, it is multidimensional, you can continue the story however you like, you are the master of your own role and not the script.
That way of thinking triggers the Law Of Attraction to be working for you.
Yes you decide your own movie. 

[I made some articles about success and mindset too just in case.]

Remember to focus on what you want, focus as though you already have it. If a past event makes you uncomfortable, simply play along in life as though it never happened, that way the law of attraction will start working to manifest a scenario where the past event in the present does not have an effect on you.
You can do so many things just with your belief trust me. Most "Miracles" happen because of that. 
Use belief or "knowing" whichever is the strongest for you. Do not be afraid to believe something that doesn't exist in your current reality because if you believe it to BE, it will be as good as yours and handed to you eventually in the most efficient and best way possible by the Super-Intelligent Existence (Pardon my Wording).

Meditation is a great way for some people to manage their inner world, it is not the most absolute and effective way however, find what you are most comfortable with. Some people find this in hobbies some people find this in work, all sorts of things, just remember or find what makes you relaxed and with a mind of peace. 
Personally I find it most comfortable just by being. 
At some point everyone can just BE and be relaxed with a tranquil mind.  I am here to tell you it is within the "realm" of possibilities, 
so you Can do this.

Much Love <3
