The 12 laws of the universe

Law of Divine Unity

The Law of Divine Unity states that everything and everyone is intrinsically connected to each other, since we all come from the same source.You have a substantial impact on the world with every word you say, thought you think, belief you hold, and action you take. Sometimes you will understand how your words and actions affect others, and other times you may never realize how something you said or did had a ripple effect in the universe.

This is the fundamental law of the universe, and it is rooted inempathymicompassion. As he becomes aware of how intrinsically connected he is to all beings, he cultivates more empathy for others. You are able to release anger and negative feelings towards another person because you inherently understand thatthey are not different from you.We are all one.If this concept seems a bit daunting or uncertain at first, I encourage you to journal or meditate on this idea. And know this: knowing that we are all one and feeling connected to all isit's not a weakness. In fact, it is a priceless power, more valuable than any possession you may have.

law of vibration

The Law of Vibration establishes that everything and every being is in a constant state of vibration, always emitting frequencies and energies that are often not seen on the surface. Everything is always in constant motion.Look around you - every object you can see emits a certain frequency. Some are higher frequencies and some are lower. The next time you get out of your car, look up at the sky. The sun carries its own energy. Just like your car. And the trees in your front yard. And even car keys in hand.

Now look inside. You are also emitting a vibrational frequency. This frequency can and often does change.And once you understand that you have your own vibrational frequency, you realize that you have the power to tune your frequency to a higher vibration.The vibrational frequency that you emit has a profound effect on your daily experience. When you operate at a higher frequency, you invite a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment into your world.

Law of Correspondence

Have you heard the phrase,"The universe keeps teaching you the same lesson until you learn it"?The Law of Correspondence states that patterns continue to repeat themselves in the universe on a small and large scale.Notice the recurring patterns in your own life. Do you feel like you continually have bad luck with dating? Have you tried and tried and tried to succeed in a specific endeavor without success? Have you ever felt like the universe is trying to get you?

The patterns we experience are directly related to our internal worlds.It means that what you are experiencing in your outer world is a mirror of your own inner world. You have the power to change your experiences lived in your outer world by changing your inner world. If your life has been feeling particularly chaotic lately, consider ways in which you might be experiencing internal chaos. To release the outer chaos and invite more peace into your life, seek to cultivate inner peace.

law of attraction

You probably already know a bit about the Law of Attraction, as this is without a doubt the best known of the universal laws.The law of attraction states thatlike attracts like; the vibrations, beliefs and emotions that we emit in the world are what we receive in our lived experiences.If you approach your daily life by emitting feelings of joy, love and positivity, you will receive experiences in your life that reflect these emotions. But if you maintain a negative attitude in which you always consider yourself the victim and affirm thatnothing ever goes right for you, you will continue to receive experiences that reflect this belief.

I always find it important to keep in mind that the Law of Attraction isNoan invitation to engage in toxic positivity. You don't have to force yourself to suppress negative emotions and pretend you're happy when you really aren't. You may feel sad at times, but you still believe in your heart that everything is working out for your highest good. You can have a bad day knowing what will happen. When you experience these emotions, explore them with kindness and compassion and ask yourself:“What can I learn from this experience? How is this experience serving my highest good?”

law of inspired action

Olaw of inspired actionit is intrinsically related to the Law of Attraction and is often the one overlooked step that may lead some to claim that the Law of Attraction "doesn't work".The Law of Inspired Action states that you must take real, actionable, and inspired action to achieve your goals and invite their manifestations into your life.But what exactly is an inspired step? An inspired step is an action derived from your inner knowing. It's when something deep down calls you to act, even if it doesn't make sense. Inspired action is based on surrendering to the guidance of the universe and listening to the call of your inner knowing.

Let's use the quotes as an example. You want to attract love into your life, so you work to vibrate on the frequency of joy, love, and all the positive feelings you associate with finding the love of your life. You go out every weekend, believing that this is the best way to meet someone. However, deep down your inside knowledge tells you to sign up for an online dating site. You resist the idea because you really want to meet someone “the old fashioned way”. Going out every weekend is an action, but signing up for that online dating profile would beinspired actionbecause it originates from a deep inner knowledge.

Law of the Perpetual Transmutation of Energy

This one has arguably the most confusing title, so let's break it down:

• Perpetually: constant, eternal, endless
• Transmutation: the act of changing/being changed from one form to another

The Law of Perpetual Transmutation states that, energetically, everything in the universe is constantly fluctuating and changing from one form to another.Most of the time, you don't see these changes because they are happening at the cellular level. Here is what you need to know about this law:Your vibrational frequency has the power to affect another person's, and another person's vibrational frequency can affect yours.If a coworker comes to your cubicle and starts complaining, their negativity can affect your own energy. You don't see your energy change, but you can feel it; one minute you're having a great day and the next you're feeling frustrated and dejected. On the other hand, your positive energy can cheer up your coworkers and make their day a little brighter.

The key here is to understand how another person's energy can affect yours and vice versa; Once you understand this power, you can use it to ward off negative energy and uplift those around you.

Law of Cause and Effect

This law is exactly what it sounds like, and if you're familiar with Newton's Third Law of Motion, you're probably already putting the pieces together.The Law of Cause and Effect states that all actions have corresponding reactions or consequences. (The word “consequences” tends to have a negative connotation, but consequences can also be positive.)When you sincerely and willingly give money to a homeless person, that kindness comes back to you, even if you don't always see it right away. Likewise, if you lie, cheat, or steal, you will eventually feel these effects, though not right away.

This law is directly linked to the Great Law, the first of the 12 Laws of Karma. To read more about this, I encourage you to read my post on the 12 laws of karma.here.

Compensation Law

The Law of Compensation is often linked to the phrase,"You reap what you sow." This can have both positive and negative connotations, and the idea is closely tied to the concepts of the Law of Attraction and the Law of Cause and Effect.(What you send is what you receive.)

So how is this law different from the other laws it is connected to?

I like to think of it this way: compensation can come in many forms, good and bad.And many times, what may look good on the surface may actually be a negative, and what may appear to be a negative on the surface may actually be a positive.

For example, let's say you're trying to manifest a specific job. If you don't get the job, you may feel like your demo has failed, but what if that job isn't as good as it seems? The universe may be saving you from negative experiences and toxic energy related to this job. Or maybe you got the job but you lied and cheated to get it. You soon realize that the job you thought would change your lifeEschange it, but for the worse and not for the better.

Again, this goes back to the idea thatYou reap what you sow. Did she lie and cheat to get that job? You can still get it, but it won't be the amazing, glamorous position you thought it was.

Law of Relativity

The Law of Relativity states that everything is neutral. When we label something likebornospacious,ricoopoor, oenoughoinsufficient, it is only because our perspective is influenced by our personal experiences and relationships.

For example, a person might think that earning $20 an hour is a huge amount because they have only earned smaller amounts in the past and have adapted their lifestyle to fit their average paychecks. However, for another, $20 an hour can be a big pay cut because they have always made significantly more and have adapted their lifestyle to higher paychecks.

For one person, a house of 1,800 square feet can be consideredhugebecause they grew up in smaller houses, but to another, 1,800 square feet might be considered small because they've always had twice the space.

So is $20 an hour a lot or a little? Is 1800 square feet big or small? None;both are neutral.The labels we put on these experiences are relative to our personal lived experiences. The important thing here is to be aware of your biases and the labels you place on different experiences. When you fall into a state where you feel like you don't have enough, you can change your perspective and see your situation as someone who has less than you. This can help you see that you really do have a lot, allowing you to feel more gratitude and appreciation in your daily life.

polarity law

The Law of Polarity states that everything has an opposite, and the existence of these opposites is vital in helping us gain a deeper perspective on our own lives.This law is about accepting contrast in your life; the bad moments help you appreciate the good ones. A bad relationship can help you appreciate a good relationship.(and to know what you are looking for in the future). Rainy days help you appreciate sunny ones, and lots of sun can help you appreciate rain.

I always think about the date,"To love your life, you cannot hate the experiences that shaped you."For example, in my personal life, I have had failures and rejections in the past as a writer that were very difficult for me at the time. However, living these experiences made me appreciate my successes even more. And I don't hate having those experiences, because I understand that they all served my highest good.

law of rhythm

The Law of Rhythm has to do with cycles and perpetual motion.The Law of Rhythm states that everything comes in cycles and nothing stays in one state forever.This can be most easily seen in the changes of the seasons. Summer finally gives way to fall, which turns to winter, which turns to spring, and finally back to summer.

You can also think of the life cycle of a human being, from child to child, from adolescent to adult; The aging process is a cycle that never stops.

It also manifests itself in ways that aren't always easy to see unless you step back for a broader perspective. Are you experiencing difficulties in your life? These difficulties will not last forever. When you understand that this is exactly where you are in a cycle and that this difficulty is not a permanent state, you are able to cultivate more calm and inner peace.

It's also important to pay attention to your own inner rhythm and flow with that rhythm instead of against it. For example, maybe you are feeling tired and need a break from the stress of everyday life. Instead of trying to ignore these feelings, you can choose to follow your own inner rhythm, possibly taking a break from social media and spending a weekend camping in the wilderness.

Gender Law

The Gender Law is less about men and women and more aboutenergy.The Law of Gender establishes that there are two types of energy: masculine and feminine. To live a fulfilling, joyful, and purposeful life, we must strike a balance between these two energies.

Masculine energy is linked to hustle, achievement and action. Feminine energy is connected to giving, allowing, and just being. No energy is better or worse than the other. When you find a balance between the two, you can live your truest and most authentic life. Here, it is also important to listen to your inner rhythm. For example, if you've been agitated for a long time, your inner self may tell you that it's time to step back and allow yourself.just be.
