The Art of Attracting Positive Energy

Is it possible to control the actions of others using the Law of Attraction?  Is it possible for someone else to control you using it?  Since a large part of our experience involves the actions of others within our sphere of influence, it is easy for us to blame unpleasant circumstances, experiences, or negative emotions on the actions of others.  When this happens, we naturally seek to find a way to correct the actions of that person in order to improve our own situation. 

As more people become exposed to the Law of Attraction and begin to apply it to their lives, inevitably the possibility of using it to control or influence others will be considered.  This is usually born out of a misunderstanding of the law.  We do not have the power to control others, and other people do not possess the power to directly control you – and that is a good thing.  Things would get really boring really fast if you could just make people do whatever you wanted whenever you wanted.  Life would quickly lose its purpose. 

That said, what can we do when there is a person that seems to be adversely affecting our lives?  First, remember that you are working with the Law of Attraction, so if there is a negative energy in your life, there is a strong possibility you attracted it somehow. As a result, it is probably time to take an assessment of your own vibration and make some adjustments so that you can begin attracting the energies you want in your life.  In many cases, once you have done this, you may be surprised to find that the person in question changes their behavior. In some cases, they don’t – but what you are trying to do is free yourself from the bonds of their negative behavior.  That is something you have direct power over.  This is probably one of the most difficult things to help people understand, as it is very difficult to take your energy and attention away from someone who appears to have a direct impact on your life.  It is important to try and remember this:

Where your attention goes, your energy flows – and when you place your attention on a thing, the universe begins to conspire to bring you more of what you are placing your attention on.

In order to help a plant grow, you must give it your attention by watering it and fertilizing it.  The moment you take your attention away from it, it dies.  The concept is the same with anything you choose to give your attention to.  Negative energies in your life will grow as you feed them your attention.  The same is true for positive energy. 

Ultimately, the point is, you may not be able to control others, but you can control the energy you evoke from them.  In this video from the YouTube channel Andrea Roman, Abraham Hicks provides some practical and usable advice on how you can begin to control your thoughts and energy so that you can control what you evoke from others everyday.
