Of all the universal laws, the law of attraction is both the most fascinating and the most misunderstood. Fascinating, because as humans we naturally want a tool to help create the life of our dreams, and the law of attraction can certainly help us to do that. Misunderstood because, unlike a tool that we can pull out and use now and again but is otherwise inactive, the law of attraction is operating in our lives constantly and independently, whether we are consciously aware of it, or believe in it, or not.
In other words, there is no need to engage the law of attraction, it is already at work in your life and always will be. So long as you are alive and breathing, the law of attraction is at work. This is great news! You are already using the law of attraction to create everything in your life whether you realise it or not. The results that you are experiencing: your career, finances, relationships, health, home, community, and so on, are a direct result of the law of attraction and your interaction with it in the form of thoughts and feelings.
If you’re not creating the kind of life you want though, chances are you are creating by default, allowing the law of attraction to bring you more and more of the same. Unfortunately, we weren’t handed a life manual at birth and, for many of us, our parents were not aware of the law of attraction and so did not teach us. At Attract Like Magic we are dedicated to helping you understand this powerful universal law and how you can begin to use the law of attraction to consciously create the life of your dreams. On the Attract Like Magic site, and in upcoming newsletters and articles, we will explore everything to do with the law of attraction and provide tools that will help you to harness its power.
But in order to really understand the law of attraction, you first need to understand another of the universal laws, the law of vibration.
Law of Vibration
According to the law of vibration everything is made of energy and has a distinct frequency or vibration. With the advent of powerful enough technology, science now agrees. Quantum physicists have shown that, although matter may appear to be solid, when you look at it through a high-powered microscope so that it is broken down into its smallest components: molecules, atoms, neutrons, electrons and quanta (the smallest particles measurable), it is ultimately mostly empty space interspersed with energy.
In other words, at the quantum level, everything is comprised of energy and empty space and what makes you, your home, your car, the chair you’re sitting in, seem solid is the frequency of the vibration of the energy that makes it up.
Not only does your body and all that you consider to be “you” have a distinct and unique vibration (or more correctly a mix of vibrations), but your creations, in the form of thoughts, also have distinct vibrations which affect or blend with your overall vibration.
In turn, your vibrations affect everything around you – your environment, the people and animals around you, the inanimate objects, even the seemingly ‘empty’ space and they, in turn, affect you. That’s why, when you walk into a room where there was an earlier argument, you can sense it. We even use terms like “bad vibes”, “you can feel the tension”, and “you could cut the air in here with a knife” to describe it. In each case what we are referring to is the energy imprint of the earlier occupants.
Similarly, you may have gone to someone’s home, office or business where, as soon as you entered, you felt the “good vibes” that filled the place. That’s because, over time, a place becomes imbued with the energy imprints of the dominant vibrations of the people who live or work there. So a home, for example, can literally become filled with love or tension or anger or sadness or any other emotion, and that home will feel that way to a visitor even if none of the regular occupants are at home at the time. If you’ve ever entered such a place you may even have noticed how you just relaxed and felt good in response to the “good vibes” around you. Of course, the extent to which you take on the vibrations of the people and things around you is up to you – but for most people, this is not a conscious decision.
So, you are giving off vibrations every second of every day. You are also simultaneously receiving and translating the vibrations of everything and everyone around you. If we use the analogy of television, you are both a television transmitter, beaming out your own unique station, and also a television set or receiver, able to tune in to all the stations or frequencies being broadcast around you. Sometimes we refer to these incoming vibrations as intuition or “gut feelings”.
So how do you know what your vibration is at any moment?
Simple – ask yourself how you are feeling.
Your emotions are a quick and handy guide to your vibration in any moment. If you feel loving, you are vibrating at the frequency of love; if you feel angry, you are vibrating at the frequency of anger; if you feel curious, you are vibrating at the frequency of curiosity, and those vibrations are received by everything and everyone around you. You are also, through the law of attraction, bringing to you more experiences that will match this vibration so when you feel angry the law of attraction will bring to you more experiences that will elicit the feeling of anger, you will attract angry people and find yourself in the middle of angry situations.
Have you ever had a day where you felt lousy, but tried to pretend that everything was OK to family, friends or co-workers? It doesn’t work does it? Your friends, family or co-workers know straight away that you are not how you are pretending to be. They may ask if something is wrong, or comment that you don’t seem to be your normal self. They pick up on the incongruence between what you are saying and your vibration. Because we are not used to explaining in terms of vibrations, they may attribute their knowing to something more mundane like tone of voice or body language, but even people without the full use of their senses can detect this type of incongruence.
To sum up, you are sending out vibrations every moment of every day. Those vibrations are a mix of your thoughts and feelings and they affect everything around you. At the same time you are also receiving and translating the vibrations of everything around you (which can, in turn, affect your vibration by how you react to them). Now that we understand vibration, let’s look at how it interacts with the law of attraction.
Law of Attraction
The law of attraction, simply put, means energy attracts like energy. You may also have heard it expressed as “like attracts like’, “that which is like unto itself is drawn” and even “thoughts become things”.
The law of attraction is at work in your life every minute of every day. Your vibrations are constantly being broadcast to, and received, by the universe. This activates the law of attraction which then matches your vibrations and attracts to you similar vibrations in the form of people, things and situations in your life. In other words you are always creating your life through your thoughts and feelings. The conditions in your life, whether they are what you want or not, are always a match to your dominant vibrations.
The law of attraction, like all the universal laws, operates whether you are aware of it or not, or believe it or not. The often-used terms “what you focus on grows”, “careful what you wish for (cause you just might get it)”, “birds of a feather flock together” and “you can’t get enough of what you don’t want” are all examples of ways that we describe the law of attraction in action.
So, the question becomes – if your life is not how you would wish it to be, how do you change it? And the answer most often given by law of attraction and personal development teachers is a simple one – change your thoughts.
Simple – yes, but not easy. Here’s why.
Somewhere between 94 – 98% of all thoughts are subconscious, that is, below or out of conscious awareness which means that only 2 – 6% of your thoughts are ever conscious. So, even if you managed to change all of your conscious thoughts to be positive, that still leaves an awful lot of subconscious thought, at least some of which would be negative, vibrating away in the background without you even being aware of it! If you’re having trouble creating what you want in life, chances are your subconscious mind is at fault.
In our next article we will explore the subconscious mind and how it can interfere with your Law of Attraction efforts.

California Exemptions: are You Really Exempt From Overtime Pay?
Friday, July 23rd, 2010One of the most common and often expensive mistakes an employer can make is to misclassify their employees as being exempt from overtime, if they are, in fact, non exempt employees by law. Exempt employees are often referred to as salaried employees and in very basic terms it means that the employee is therefore is not eligible for overtime. California labor law addresses what criteria are necessary in order to classify employees properly. This law relates specifically to the California administrative exemption, the California professional exemption, the California executive exemption, and the California outside sales exemption. “California” is stressed because the federal labor laws are slightly different than those of the state of California. As an employer or employee it is wise to educate yourself on your state’s employment laws or the consequences could be costly.It’s also important to note that in California, whenever a labor law dispute is brought to court, the burden of proof is on the employer. This means it is the employer’s responsibility to prove that they are not guilty of the violations they are accused of committing. Lastly, and most importantly, for the most part, the actual job duties that an employee performs determine whether or not they are exempt, not the job title given to them.The California administrative exemption statute states that in order for an employee to be classified as exempt the employee must perform office work or non manual work that is directly related to policy shaping or business operations. This means that the employee must have the power to issue and enforce company policy. It does not necessarily apply to workers that are allowed to exercise discretion in their daily job function, within the parameters or guidelines of existing company policy. This can be confusing, but a very generic example of California administrative exemption may be helpful. A non exempt employee does not have the authority to create new rules that other company employees must follow, but an exempt employee would have this authority.The California professional exemption most commonly refers to professional occupations that require a California state license, such as dentistry, engineering, optometry, law, medicine, architecture, teaching, or accounting. However, nurses and pharmacists are rarely included as exempt under the California professional exemption law. The most common mistake among employers is to misclassify employees that have not yet received their licensing from the state.The most frequently used defense by employers is that their employee can be classified exempt under the California executive exemption. Although, it is actually the hardest exemption to qualify for because it requires that the employee perform ALL of a long list of criteria named in the labor law, not just some. To be more specific, the California executive exemption requires that the exempt employee have the ability to hire or fire other employees or at least have a highly valued opinion in this matter. It also requires that the employee directly manages the work of two or more employees or the equivalent of 80 hours a week. This exempt employee must be in charge of the entire department or unit they are managing and regularly exercise discretion and independent judgment on the job. This employee must also be paid a salary of twice the California minimum wage.The California outside sales exemption differs slightly from federal law in that California does not regard “exempt work” duties incidental to the employee’s sales or solicitations, including incidental deliveries and collections. This difference in law is significant for route salespeople and others who perform many other functions in an average day, such as delivery, repair, and maintenance. California outside sales exemption applies to an adult worker that spends over half his or her time away from the employer’s place of business selling or taking orders for an actual product or service. The final area that is different about the California outside sales exemption from the other California exemption laws is that is does not require that the salary be “twice the minimum wage amount”. Often times these jobs have opportunity for commissions or bonuses.With such specific regulations to comply with, it is extremely important that as an employer or as an employee you are well aware of how to classify yourself or others. Under California law, the employee has up to four years to file a lawsuit to claim any wages that were not paid as a result of being misclassified as exempt from overtime. Additionally, if the court finds that the employer knowingly and intentionally misclassified the employee, the financial ramifications can be exceedingly detrimental. As an employee if you suspect you have been misclassified, you may want to contact the California Labor Board or a California labor law attorney to help you claim the money that is owed to you.
