You have probably heard of a charm bracelet before? They have been around for years, but during the 1990s another type of charm bracelet started to appear on the scenes in the United States. It is called the Italian charm bracelet. Do you know what this is? Do you know how these two types of charm bracelets differ? What do Italian charm bracelet charms look like? In this article we will be exploring the world of the Italian charm bracelet. Welcome, and enjoy…
Italy is where the whole craze for these beautiful bracelets started. As the years went by their popularity grew and grew, and even to the point where soccer stars were wearing them (with charms displaying the Italian flag). American tourists spotted these delightful little items in the 1990s, and promptly brought them back to the United States. They have subsequently caught on here as well.
The links of an Italian charm bracelet are made from an Italian charm face soldered onto an Italian charm link. These faces are usually comprised of either a design or an image. They differ from a regular charm bracelet charm in that they are flat and modular and hook together nicely. There are over 5000 different designs of Italian charm bracelet charms on sale today, and they range in price from a low of about $3 to $50 per charm.
The size of a person’s wrist will determine the size of the Italian charm bracelet. That’s simple enough to figure out. Women usually require about 16 to 19 links of charms. Children require less, usually between 13 to 15 links. Men (especially those with large wrists) may require 20 or more links.
A starter Italian charm bracelet will usually consist of blank links. These links are “place holder” links, and they do not have a design or an image. In order to personalize the bracelet for your own particular tastes, each link is replaced with an individual Italian charm.
But how do all these charms link together? There is standard sizing across all brands of Italian charms, so they are compatible and work together, and are interchangeable. This means that individual links can be switched out for either a new look, or if your interests or mood happen to change.
Since Italian charm bracelets are so flexible, charms can be grouped together to portray various themes. Themes vary, but some of the more popular ones are: hobby, flowers, career, animals, travel, special events, or even specific colors. To make up these various groupings you can choose from photo Italian charms, authentic licensed Italian charms, deluxe Italian charms, hand-painted Italian charms, laser Italian charms, and dangle Italian charms.
Stainless steel backing is the most popular choice of materials for Italian charms. They will then have either a gold-plated or 18-karat gold charm face. Solder or glue joins the face of the charm to the stainless steel link. Sometimes a gemstone is added to the design of the charm.
We hope you liked this little summary of Italian charm bracelet charms and their associated bracelet. They made their debut into the consciousness of the United States back in the 1990’s, and there is no sign of their popularity letting up any time soon.
Asking for aid from calendar angels
In addition to your personal guardian angel, the time of our birth gives us the added support of one of four powerful archangels. You are probably familiar with the signs of the zodiac and the four elements they represent.
Your sun sign determines which of the four archangels is most significant in your life:
Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)-Michael
Earth Signs(Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)- Uriel
Air Signs(Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)- Raphael
Water Signs(Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)- Gabriel
For fire signs, the Archangel Michael helps ignite passion and enthusiasm, especially when these qualities seem to have deserted them. The Archangel Uriel will help people born under the earth signs get out of a rut. Turning to Uriel will get things moving again. Those born under the air sign often live in their heads, sometimes becoming rather rigid and inward-looking in their thinking. The Archangel Raphael can help to clear their minds and ground them. Gabriel is the archangel for the sensitive types who are born under the water signs. He helps them to ensure that their sensitivity is understood and valued by others.

While we cannot see or hear them, we all have a guardian angel to guide and protect us. You can learn how to contact your angel to ask for help.
Angels are high spiritual beings, recognized by many religions. Yours is near you all the time, loving you.
Angels are always available to comfort and support you and will help when they know you are ready to receive their help. All you need to do is quietly and calmly send out a thought requesting their assistance.
Remember that your angel represents your personal needs, so call on them and quietly ask for help. Your guardian angel can help and inspire you at difficult and testing times.
When your feeling depressed, your angel will provide comfort, healing and vision in your darker moments. When your feeling in need of emotional support, they will support you unconditionally and provide emotional courage. When your feeling lonely your angel will provide love and you’ll be able to feel their presence when you are alone.
When you need support, no matter is to trivial or too large to request their advice or guidance. To contact your guardian angel follow this simple exercise and get the answers you want now!
A peaceful environment- To connect with your guardian angel, create a space that is attractive and peaceful. Candles, flowers, lovely pictures, inspiring music and beautiful things all help to create a positive mood.
Become receptive- You are surrounded by the energies of your thoughts and emotions. It is difficult for your angel to reach you if you are surrounded by negative emotions such as rage, fear or hurt. Try to let go of these emotions as much as possible so that you become more approachable.
Count your blessings -Take a few minutes to count your blessings, think good thoughts about people you know, read an inspiring book or look at something beautiful, Make sure you’re calm, relaxed and centered.
Create a golden aura- The easiest way to relax is to breathe deeply, softening your body on each exhale. Imagine yourself breathing golden light until you are enclosed in an egg of gold. Angels find it easier to connect with you when your aura is golden.
Feel your angels touch- Mentally ask your guardian angel to step into your aura and touch you. Expect a physical sensation, or a fragrance or feeling of great love. You may feel the light touch of an angel wing or a waft of air across your face. Even if you feel nothing, trust that your angel has responded and is very close to you.
Ask your angel’s name-Ask your guardian angel what its name is and accept the first name that comes to you. Ask for any help you need.
There are many angels other than your personal guardian angel that exist simply to serve you. Find out which will be able to help you most. You don’t need to be religious to connect with angels and empower yourself with their help and guidance. But when there are so many angels to call on, how do you decide which one to choose?
Many factors influence which angels can help you and when their powers are strongest. Your zodiac sign and the day of the week when you ask for help are just two things that have a bearing on which angel will be able to offer guidance. Your sun sign determines which of the four archangels is most significant in your life:
Just as there is a guardian angel for every one of us, so there are angels for each day of the week. Wear clothing or light a candle in the color of an angel to feel his influence.
I personally wish you the best with all your endeavors and May you have joyful moments with your angels.
Thank your guardian angel and open your eyes.
Your face is the mirror of your personality. Yes, it’s true and it’s no magic; it has always been true, but you just lacked the required knowledge. Statistical studies show that there is a strong connection between facial features and personality traits; you may have noticed that people who look alike tend to behave in the same way or at least have some common behavior.
You may have also noticed that all young babies act the same way and that their facial features are almost all the same (Curved forehead for creativity, big cheeks for energy, and wide eyes for sensitivity…etc).
How Accurate is Face Reading (personology)?
When statistical research was held, the result was the identification of 68 personality traits that are connected to some facial features, and the accuracy of the findings was up to 90%; thus the development of face reading. Face reading is not something new, it has been around ever since the ancients lived, but, like all other similar skills which people become skeptical about before even testing, it is only known to the few.
Personology Reverse Effect
What’s more interesting about face reading is that the personality/facial features relation is believed to be reversible. For example, if you change your personality traits, your facial features may change too over the years. You may have noticed how, after years of marriage, married couples start to look alike; this happens because their personalities come closer and so their facial features follows.
The Forehead’s profile in face reading
The forehead’s shape determines the method of thinking that the person uses (not intelligence). There are three types of forehead profiles (profile view); sloped, straight and round. Below is an explanation of each type:
Types of foreheads
The straight forehead (The progressive thinker): This person follows a progressive style in his thinking; he can’t jump to the third point without first knowing the second. Sometimes he is misunderstood as a child and thought of as dumb, but in fact, he may be very intelligent; it’s just his progressive style of thinking that needs to be taken into consideration. This person may not have the fastest reflex action response; if he drops something, he may not be able to catch it before it reaches the ground. He may have problems working under pressure as he needs more time to think progressively; that may make him lose control in the last ten minutes of exams.
The slopped forehead (The fast responder): That person builds conclusions fast, to the extent that he may interrupt you many times when talking because he keeps on guessing what are you about to say. This person may get bored talking to someone with a straight forehead because of the speed difference between them. The response of such a person is very fast, and that’s why you tend to find most football and basket ball players with slopped foreheads, you’re also most likely to notice how players with straight foreheads aren’t that good because of their slow responses, and again I repeat, this is not related to intelligence at all. One final thing about such people is that they are fast decision-makers, which may cause them many problems.
The curved forehead (The creative): This person is very creative, just notice how the forehead of those who study fine arts; you will notice how most them have curved foreheads. That person would hate restrictions and rules; he likes to use his imagination, and would probably hate math and accounting but excel in arts. When the forehead is curved and occupying a big section of the head, that person may tend to be very intelligent or even a genius. You’d be safe asking that person for help with in need of a creative solution to any problem you’re facing.
Face Reading (personology): Distance from Eye to Brow:
The eye to eyebrow distance is the vertical distance between the eye and the eyebrows. Some people have their eyebrows almost touching their eyes while others have a clear distance between the eye and the eyebrows. This distance can tell you how fast that person can put a decision into action; that is how fast that person can put his plans or feelings into actions.
Eye to Eyebrow Distance in face reading
Someone with a big distance between eye and brow (The ‘wait and see’ approach): Such a person would follow the wait and see approach; he never rushes in things. When he goes shopping for example, he may drop by all the shops and would end up not buying anything; he would come back in a few days later to buy. This person would be relatively slow when it comes to his social skills; if you’re a very social person, he would back off a little till he gets used to you. When this person hesitates don’t try to push him, just leave him to take his time so you don’t bother him.
Someone with a small distance or almost no distance (The ‘just do it’ approach): Such person is a favorite of sales people because, when shopping, he buys on the spot; no hesitation or lingering. He may even buy stuff, only to discover later that he doesn’t even need them!! This person cannot wait to try something new, if he decides to do something the next day, he may not be able to sleep that day; he just can’t wait!!
How can both types get along?
People from the second category may know you for just a day or two, but act like they’ve known you for years. That’s why when this type meets people from the first category for the first time, things may get pretty uncomfortable. The short distance guy may lose his temper faster; unlike the wide distance guy, who is less likely to lose it upon facing the same situation.
When both of these types meet, the second category guy will always interrupt number one while speaking and may grow bored. Consequently, number one should try and be a little faster in talking and decision making in order to communicate well with number two, else problems may arise.
Every generation defines itself in its own particular way. People who belong to a specific generation express themselves in a distinctive form-whether it is the literature or philosophy it produces or the music it creates, there is always distinctiveness. Understandably, social critics and historians have always found the need to label eras, periods and groups. The twentieth century that has just elapsed has been called by various names; Aldous Huxley, writing in the 1940’s referred to his century as the age of noise. “The radio,” he once wrote, “is nothing but a conduit through which pre-fabricated din can flow into our homes.” If the noise was an issue years back, today with the literal explosion of modern technology, CD’s, headphones, I-pads, and what not, clearly the noise level has been upped a thousand degrees and the bombardment of noise has become drastically augmented.
Being so surrounded, invaded and inundated with noise, we have become so accustomed to that reality that an immense feeling of peculiar emptiness is felt when it is deafly quite. Imagine yourself walking into an upscale boutique and nothing is being played on the sound system, how would you feel? It’s guaranteed that you will think it is strange and feel a sense of eeriness.
Noise has become so part of the fabric of our reality that when we are alone we almost instinctively reach for a noisemaker. When was the last time you took a long drive alone in your car and did not immediately flip on the music? Car manufacturers today pride themselves in installing satellite radio systems so we can pick up thousands of stations as we drive. When it is quiet we urgently sense the need to fill the empty airwaves with noise.
Noise is so much a part of our life that we have become depended on it for our very wellbeing. So many of us derive our sense of being alive from sound, and we feel existential emptiness in silence. There is a need-and almost perverse compulsion-to break any silence and talk or sing, whether in the company of others or with ourselves.
Underlining this urgency for noise is our fear of being alone, as if it’s even a possibility. Simply, we are afraid to be alone with ourselves and certainly scared to experience a genuine self-encounter. And so we fill the airwaves with sound, for it is sound that creates the illusion of company. Even speaking to ourselves will do the trick, for when we are speaking there is the impression of a speaker and listener, and that the two are separate people conversing.
The dread of being alone and being alone with our own presence can be quite devastating. Sitting relaxing in a hot tub most people almost perfunctorily reach for a book or the paper. We live in a culture that compels us to relentlessly ‘do’ things. Even our leisure time and vocation needs to be filled with activity, we cannot rest without going crazy. For this reason there is a multibillion-dollar industry that helps us ‘do’ things and occupy our time while on holiday.
In an age where people seem to be addicted to noise, dependent on stress-producing loud stimuli, what we so desperately need is some quiet time, a means to clear the overflow of junk and mental pollution, and begin anew.
Hitbodedut is a classical Kabbalistic term for meditation. The Hebrew root of the word is badad, literally meaning to be alone, to detach yourself from noise and be with yourself. In the more advanced and prophetic moods of this form of meditation, hitbodedut is to seclude, separate ‘intellectual everyday consciousness from imagination.’ This is referred to as hitbodedut penimit -inner isolation, but what we are speaking of presently is hitbodedut chitzonit -outer isolation. This is the practice of being alone and simply being with yourself.
To practice this discipline you don’t need to run away to a mountaintop or go hide in a cave. In fact, this aloneness can be achieved even amongst other people. In the words of the American writer, Henry Thoreau, the champion of solitude, “The really diligent student in one of the crowded hives of Cambridge College is as solitary as a dervis in the desert.”
Most often going inward in the midst of being in the company of others is unkindly, rude and altogether a mark of arrogance, but sometimes you may find yourself being obligated to go to a certain social setting or another event and feel extremely uncomfortable or self-conscious. Or worse, sometimes you may find yourself in a setting where you feel that the others are merely sucking up your energy, or even worse distributing negative energy. In such situations, it maybe very helpful if you are able to mentally detach yourself, go inward, and feel at ease-to be alone with yourself, free of the external forced-upon influences.
Success breads success. The only way to become comfortable with silence, on all level of silence; from words or beyond words is by practicing and further practicing stints of silence. Don’t begin with fantastic grand plans of taking a full month vow of silence. Rather, begin with a firm commitment to practice silence for a half hour a day, and then grow on your success.
Ultimately, as you become more comfortable with yourself, and in silence, when you do need to speak and verbally communicate, which speech itself is another spiritually powerful tool, you will do so wisely, mindfully and with wisdom. The periods of silence will also allow you to gain hegemony of your speech so that your words are meaningful and vested with intention.
The Triangular Connection: Creator, Creation & the Human Being
Kabbalah is not theology in the strict sense of the word. Theology implies God and world as if they are separate, and Kabbalah comes to dispel this notion. Neither is it, strictly speaking, a mystical branch of thought.
Kabbalah is referred to as The Tree of Life. In the following essay I wish to explore the three fundamental truths of our lives: our Source of being, who we are, and where we are. In other words the divine, man and world. Once we secure a better understanding of the above-mentioned, we can begin to understand the kabbalistic weltanschauung of life, both our personal, collective and cosmic purpose.
Ultimately, the journey of life should make us ‘more’ not ‘less’ via ‘expansion’ not ‘denial’, with a renewed gratitude and appreciation for the beauty of all that life contains.
Creator:
The Or Ein Sof - the endless light, is one, infinite, unity. The light is unified and yet when you look around you see many. Duality, up and down, right and left, past and future, the question is why? Why do we see duality and many?
On all level of existence multiplicity seems to be the operative term; time appears to flow from a gone-by past into the fleeting present, impregnating a distant future. Space functions within clear and fixed dimensions. Historically speaking, history, superficially observed seems to be a great unfolding of unrelated events and stringed together episodes. Psychologically, we tend to view our inner psyche as an inner battle between various forces within us. Because of this, it seems if we are not warring between each other, then we are collectively warring against our environment, or warring within ourselves.
Creation is not a process of converting pure energy, infinite spirit into reified finite contextualized matter. Rather creation occurs through a great quantum leap, a tzimtzum-contraction of the light within itself. So while there was and is only the ‘Or Ein Sof- the endless light’, to create otherness and apparent separation there was a tzimtzum - contraction and concealment of the Ein Sof that allowed finite otherness to come into focus.
We have the Godlike power to create, but to do so we need to blend with it the practice of ‘tzimtzum’-contraction and holding back. The most beautiful of creations is that which emerges from the union of two people. Healthy relationships with others are founded on the balance between creating and giving, and standing back and listening. Learn to speak properly, but also learn to listen, and listen deeply. The greatest gift we can give another is to listen to them and allow them to be.
Initially, the ‘otherness’ took shape as an undifferentiated actual containing the possibility for all eventual individuated life. Then slowly a ‘line’ was formed, with distinct points, and an up-and-down structure, with a clear beginning and a definite end.
These original points are the sefiros, as in the screens through which the infinite light penetrates our reality. These distinct ‘formed’ ’shaped’ and ‘colored’ vessels serve as curtains, or colored containers through which the infinite colorless, formless, unified light is reflected into our world, albeit in a way that it seems differentiated and colored.
The order of the sefiros is as follows:
First there are the three intellectual sefiros: chochmah - intuition and wisdom, binah- cognition and reason, and da’as- knowledge and awareness.
Next are the three primary ‘internal emotions’; on the right expansive column is chesed love and giving. On the left, restrictive column is gevurah - strength and restraint. In the middle is their synthesis, tiferes -compassion and harmony. –The idea of the ‘giver’ giving with a sensitivity of how much the ‘receiver’ could and needs to receive.–
The ‘outer’ emotions are also divided into three; on the right expansive column is netzach - confidence and perseverance. On the left column is hod - humility and devotion, and in the middle is the unifying agent, connecting the ‘giver’ and the ‘receiver’ the idea of yesod- relationship and intimacy. Malchus- kingship is receptiveness, as it represents the vessel that receives from the preceding nine sefiros and re-channels the energies downward, thus becoming the ‘crown’ for the subsequent partzuf - structure of sefiros.
So while the light is one and formless when the light is projected into our reality it seems differentiated and colored. We delve deeply into the mystery of creation and observe the Ein Sof’s chochmah / wisdom, or we sit and watch the sunset over the horizon and observe the Ein Sof as tiferes/ beauty. It’s the same ‘light’ just manifesting through a different vessel.
When life seems difficult, and we are observing the LIGHT as reflected through gevurah- non- openness and restrictiveness, remember there is only ONE. Everything that we experience in life is a reflection of The ONE, and the ONE creates out of love.
Yet, as the instrument of our understanding is our brain, a binary apparatus by its very existence, the image we have of the Ein Sof, as it is in its pure nature, is that it is detached and transcendent, beyond the tzimtzum. Pure formless light is beyond creation and what we can appreciate is merely the rays of the infinite light reflected within our finite world. What we get is ‘manifestation’ not ‘essence’ yet, the primary book of Kabbalah, the book of Zohar -illumination teaches, “There is no thought that can grasp You, - thought You can be grasped- by the arousal of the heart.” The heart metaphor is indicative of a non brain - dualistic insight rather a deep heart awareness.
The image of or/light being separate or ‘higher’ then the ‘vessel’, the infinite being beyond the finite is merely another construct of duality and separateness, in the world of absolute oneness there is only ONE, and both infinite ‘light’ and finite ‘vessel’ are both simply manifestations of the ONE. This one is referred to as ‘etzem’ or ‘atzmus’- pure essence, that which is beyond finite, but also beyond infinite, and even beyond the definition as being the source of the infinite.
Creation:
All creative existence, referred to as yesh is an expression of the ultimate existence, yesh amiti, the essence. Being a reality that is a manifestation of the Real it too is real. The universe and its manifest energy is a radiant expression of the absolute oneness.
The uniqueness of physicality, in the spiritual scheme of creation is that it lives in the illusion that it is self-referential and independent of a creator. Yet, from a more expansive state of awareness, the physical reality does not exist the way we may perceive it, separate and autonomous, rather, it is merely another expression of essence, and enfolded therein.
In our mind perception, for the infinite light to appear as a finite vessel, for oneness to manifest as many, there needs to first be a tzimtzum - contraction and concealment.
Creation occurs through a shattering, and this process is replicated throughout all creation. Every creation we achieve is through a course of shattering. Birth on a macrocosmic level, as in the birth of the entire creation, and on a microcosmic level, the birth of child all ensues with a form of concealment, with pangs of birth. But even in our day-to- day life experiences every creative birth, every new moment begins with a tzimtzum of sort, a withdrawal from the past to create the new.
We all seek tikun, to repair and bring the world of ‘two’ into ‘one’, we all desire ‘oneness.’ We all crave relationships, to bring together ‘two’ and live in a condition of ‘one.’ Sadly, this primordial spiritual force when undirected compels us to buy more shoes then we need, and consume more food than desired. Walking around with a deep sense of emptiness and as we desire to feel ‘connected’ we erroneously assume that if we reach out and connect with the newest version of the i-pod, or buy the latest model SUV we will feel connected and satisfied, but of course it never comes. It is like trying to patch an existential wound with a bandage.
We all seek oneness, within and with others, the two into the one. One alone is like the infinite before creation, absolute oneness excluding all otherness, but now life is about relationships, bringing two into one. Whether it is a relationship with other people, or with other ‘things’ when we understand the spiritual nature of our attractions a deeper relationship is forged, and everything in our life, all the ‘twoness’ is included within the transcendent context of the oneness.
Life is not about denial; for everything in life is a divine expression and should be appreciated as such. Everything in our lives, whether people, objects or subjects can and should be included within oneness. In this way we achieve our Tikun and feel spiritually satisfied.
Our unique purpose and tikun is fulfilled when we are truly honest with ourselves. When we are fully aware of our strengths, and pursue them, and equally attuned to our weaknesses and aspire to overcome them. Write a daily journal, or mentally review your day before retiring to bed and observe your strengths and weaknesses.
Practically the notion of two into the one translates that in order for us to personally reach our own tikun, which will help and empower us to bring a world tikun, we need to be fully honest with ourselves. We need to uncover what our unique ‘two’ is all about, so we can express the infinity within our diversity.
Here’s How:
List Your Frustrations. Make a list of all the things in your life that have you feeling frustrated, or that you’d like to change. This can include a stressful job, your children’s behavior, or conflict in your relationships, for example.
List The Positives. Next, begin a journal. For each situation on your list, find everything you can think of that’s positive in the situation. For example, a difficult job may also bring the benefits of income, creative challenge, or personal growth; the job can be a vehicle for expanding your level of patience, for example. (At the very least, it could bring you the valuable information that this isn’t what you want to be doing with your life!)
Maintain a Positive Attitude. This doesn’t just mean to paste a smile on your face; it means to work at feeling grateful for what you already have, and for what you believe will come. That’s right: shift your focus from your feelings of lack, and toward feelings of gratitude and abundance. Believe in yourself, in your future, and in God or the Universe, and know that you can make whatever changes in your life you want.
Visualize A Better Life. Building and maintaining a visual image of what you want in your life (instead of focusing on what you don’t want) can be a powerful way to attract positive change and opportunity. Make a detailed list of what you’d like in your life. Sit down daily and visualize what your new life would look like and how it would feel to have these changes.
Think, Feel, Act. Be sure that your thoughts, feelings, and behavior all focus on your goals, rather than your frustrations with your situation, or any negative feelings you may have. Keep your self-talk positive and optimistic; engage in visualizations each day that reflect the life you want; work on your plan of action. If you do this, you should find you make quick strides toward the life you want.
Tips:
Frame your thoughts the way you would create positive affirmations, by focusing on what you do want rather than what frustrates you. Keep a gratitude journal, where you record the things for which you are grateful. There are many health and stress management benefits to journaling, and this practice helps you develop an attitude of gratitude, which creates a space for more abundance.
If you’re not sure how your thoughts affect your life, you can assess your thought patterns with this optimism quiz.
Accept What Is. Rather than spending every day focused on what you don’t like about your life and wishing things were different, try to come to terms with the bad as well as the good. This doesn’t mean that you don’t make positive changes in your life; it just means you don’t focus on your frustrations everyday. You make peace with what is, while making progress toward what you’d like to have.
You are attracting the people, situations, jobs and much more into your life. Once you are aware of this law and how it works, you can start to use it to deliberately attract what you want into your life, be it money, a new career, friends, or a relationship.You are the master of your life.
Understand how the law of attraction works. All matter and energy in the universe attracts matter and energy with a like vibration. This means, on a basic level, that positive energy draws positive results and negative energy draws negative results. The law is neutral. It functions whether you are aware of it or not, so by putting forth some effort in focusing your energy you may use it to your benefit.
Step2Focus intently and with positive energy on achieving your desired results. This is more difficult than it seems, because you have to focus on the positive results you would like to achieve and block out the negative energy of a fear of failure.
Step3Exercise patience. An easy way to negate all of your positive energy is by wondering when your results will happen as this casts the negative emotion of doubt on your focus.
Step4Allow the law to take place. You must have an open mind to see the positive results your energy has drawn, because the results may not always be exactly what you intend. Having a very specific business offer in mind, for example, may not end up with the results you intend, but your positive energy may open up other opportunities that you had not considered or even known about.
First step… Educate yourself on the law so you know exactly what it is your attempting to utilize…
The law of attraction states
“We will attract into our experience that with which we are in vibrational resonance.”
To understand this a lil better….
1.Everything in this Universe - even that which appears to be empty space - is Energy. That includes you, me, the dog, and even (and especially) your thoughts and feelings. You know…atoms, molecules, subatomic particles…that kind of “quantum stuff.”
2.All Energy vibrates at a certain frequency. Depending on the rate of the frequency, we experience Energy in different ways.
3.When something vibrates at a certain frequency, it naturally resonates with and ATTRACTS things with the same frequency.
Step2Hopfully by now, you understand a lil bit about how things happen. See, being all powerful, contained with so much vibrating energy within us and our thoughts, we make things happen. As water seeks its own level, so it is with our energy.
You see, if you feel impoverished, then you are “vibrating” poverty. The Universe can ONLY respond by bringing to you through people and circumstances, MORE poverty - because that’s what you’re in vibrational resonance with.
It would be a physical impossibility for you to be anything other than poor, when you are emitting vibrations of “poor”.
