The 12 universal laws are thought to be intrinsic, unchanging laws of our universe that ancient cultures have always intuitively known. The laws are often associated with Ho'oponopono, a meditation for freedom originating in ancient Hawaiian culture. Some of the laws, however, are also attributed to <a href="https://www.target.com/p/the-kybalion-paperback/-/A-79267518?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&fndsrc=tgtao&CPNG=PLA_Other_All+Products%2BShopping&adgroup=All+Products_Catchall&LID=700000001170770pgs&network=g&device=c&location=9005552&ds_rl=1246978&ds_rl=1248099&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIq4SCsZbr6AIVzYCfCh2zRwLbEAkYAiABEgKrAfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds">hermetic philosophy </a>going back to ancient Egypt.The list of ancient laws have withstood the test of time as both Kaiser, Kumar, and plenty of others around the world still work with them today. "All of the laws are about mastering your life with love and joy," Kaiser explains.

What are the 12 universal laws, and where do they come from?

Cycles are a natural part of the universe. Physically, you can think about the seasons on Earth. In our own lives, we can remember that integration is just as important as growth. Kumar notes, "We expect ourselves to be one way all the time, whether we're thinking about our health or even productivity," but this is not sustainable.Take note of your inner rhythms and try to work with them instead of fighting them. Feeling run down? Maybe it's better to give yourself some rest instead of powering through.

11. Law of Rhythm: 

We've all heard of <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/the-law-of-attraction-simplified-what-it-is-and-how-to-use-it">the law of attraction </a>—but what about the law of polarity, the law of divine oneness, or the law of correspondence? That's right—the law of attraction is just one of the 12 universal laws, and getting familiar with the other 11 can help us unlock a more spiritually aligned life. Here, spiritual author <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/wc/shannon-kaiser">Shannon Kaiser </a>and social worker <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/wc/vasavi-kumar">Vasavi Kumar, LMSW, MSEd </a>, share their perspective on why these laws are important and how we can all put them into practice.

Law of polarity & law of divine oneness/ law of correspondence

This law says that everything in life has an opposite; good and evil, love and fear, warmth and cold. The key is understanding these are all two sides of the same coin.Kaiser works with this law through the mantra All contrast brings more clarity. If you're facing a difficult situation like a breakup or a health challenge, for example, tune into what the opposite looks like, which can reveal a new perspective or lesson.

10. Law of Polarity: 

The first and most foundational law of the universe is the Law of Divine Oneness, which highlights the interconnectedness of all things. It says that beyond our senses, every thought, action, and event is in some way connected to anything and everything else.Kaiser notes this one can come off a bit heady, but applying it in real life entails "being compassionate with others. We are all created from divine source, with this in mind, we are all part of the same." She recommends working this law by asking questions like, "How can I show more compassion and acceptance.

1. Law of Divine Oneness: 

At a microscopic level, everything is in constant motion, vibrating at a specific frequency. This applies to matter but also one's personal frequency as well. This law says that our vibrational frequency can inform our lived experience.For example, "You may be able to receive money but perhaps you can't hold on to it," Kumar notes, "because vibrationally, you could be operating on a lower level." If you feel the need to <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-7823/10-practical-ways-to-raise-your-positive-vibrations.html">elevate your frequency </a>(good vibes, anyone?), there are lots of great practices to do so, including <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/the-11-major-types-of-yoga-explained-simply">yoga </a>, <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/why-do-sound-baths-feel-so-good">sound bathing </a>, and <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-91/The-7-Chakras-for-Beginners.html">chakra work </a>.

2. Law of Vibration: 

Relatively straightforward, this law highlights the direct relation between actions and events. What's important to note here, according to Kumar, is we often can't see the effects right away, but they will come back around."What you put out there may not come back to you in that moment, but that vibration, that energy you put out there, has a ripple effect. If you're coming from a place of anger or resentment, if you put that energy out there, you'll eventually be affected as a result."

7. Law of Cause and Effect: 

And lastly, the law of gender has to do with the masculine and feminine energy that exists in all things. Kaiser notes that much of our society has historically operated from a masculine, "hustle and do" mentality, which doesn't allow for much room to just be . Achieving your own balance between masculine and feminine energies can help you live more authentically.

12. Law of Gender: 

This law states that patterns repeat throughout the universe, and on a personal level, our reality is a mirror of what's happening inside us at that moment. Think "As above, so below. As within, so without."Kaiser's mantra for this law? It's happening for you, not to you.  "If our life is chaotic and fearful," she says, "it's because there is chaos and fear within. If our life seems calm and grounded, it is because we feel peace within." In any troubling situation, she suggests asking what the situation can show you about yourself, and what requires healing within.

3. Law of Correspondence: 

And there you have it: the 12 universal laws. Before you get too overwhelmed, integrating them into your life is more about understanding and conceptualizing them in a way that makes sense to you. Kumar notes it doesn't have to be so analytical; "Understand the concept and keep it on the back burner in your mind," she says, to learn how to work with them in day-to-day scenarios. Now that you've been introduced to these laws, chances are they'll come up in your life again and again.

Ending paragraph 

The law of compensation relates closely to the law of attraction and the law of correspondence. "You reap what you sow" is the main take-away, with the law stating your efforts will always come back to you positively. If you are seeking something, you must contribute in some way toward your goal.To work with this law in a manner that attracts (or compensates for) love and support, for example, Kaiser suggests asking yourself, "Where am I being called to serve and support others today?"

8. Law of Compensation: 

Closely related to the law of attraction, the law of inspired action is all about taking those real, actionable steps to invite what we want into our lives. Often the inspiration comes from within. "Inspired action is that gentle, internal nudge," Kumar says. "It's not always a plan of action."She adds that practicing this law is all about slowing down, getting quiet, and creating space for internal guidance. When we let go of our need to arrange and control how things will work out and are instead open to all possibilities, it makes room for new ways of achieving our goals.

5. Law of Inspired Action: 

Undoubtedly the most talked about universal law, the <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-16150/9-habits-to-manifest-your-dreams-using-the-law-of-attraction.html">law of attraction is often used for manifestation </a>. It says that like attracts like, and you get what you focus on. Not only that, but you have to believe what you're seeking is possible to obtain. It is similar to the law of vibration in this way; it's important to learn how to vibrate at a level that attracts what you're seeking.If you want love but do not give love, for example, you're sending the universe a message about your priorities. If you repeat an affirmation but don't believe what you're saying, it's useless.

4. Law of Attraction: 

This law suggests that we are inclined to compare things in our world, but in reality, everything is neutral. Relativism exists in all things, and in the end, meaning comes down to our perspective and perception.Applying this law can help us understand the tougher parts of our lives with greater compassion. For example, if we're feeling ungrateful for our living situation, it could be because we're comparing our arrangements with someone else's. Instead, we'd be better off appreciating what we have without needing to compare it to something else.

9. Law of Relativity: 

This law states that on an energetic level, everything in the universe is constantly evolving or fluctuating. Every action is preceded by a thought, with thoughts themselves having the power to eventually manifest in our physical reality.Ever been around a negative person and <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/how-to-deal-with-someone-elses-negative-energy-using-reiki-healing">felt your own positivity depleting </a>? That's one example—but it can also work the other way around: Higher frequencies transmute lower ones when applied with intention. Knowing this, we can actively seek to uplift negative energy around us with our thoughts and actions.

6. Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy: 

We know the law of attraction, but what about the law of polarity or the law of divine oneness? That's right—there are actually 12 universal laws.

12 Universal Laws & How To Use Them To Unlock A More Spiritual Life

A rain of charged particles into the ionosphere from the solar wind is what usually produces glowing green aurorae at Earth's higher latitudes but solar conditions at the time were relatively quiet. So the team turned to modelling to determine what caused the plasma ruckus.

Plasma Ruckus

Unlike other hurricanes, however, the space hurricane rained electrons into the ionosphere. This had a stunning effect: a huge, cyclone-shaped aurora below the hurricane. The whole thing lasted nearly eight hours, depositing vast amounts of energy and momentum into the ionosphere.

Comparison to other Hurricane

For the first time, a hurricane has been detected in Earth's upper atmosphere. Satellites recorded a huge flowing swirl of plasma extending high into the magnetosphere that lasted for hours before dispersing.Although we've never seen anything like this before, its detection suggests that space hurricanes, as they are known could be a common planetary phenomenon.

‘Space Hurricane‘ detected in the North Pole for the first time

According to the data, the hurricane appeared over the North Pole, extending to a diameter of 1,000 kilometres (621 miles). It reached from 110 kilometres to 860 kilometres in altitude, and consisted of plasma with multiple spiral arms, swirling in an anticlockwise direction at speeds up to 2,100 metres per second (6,900 feet per second).

1% past-focused: I take about 15 minutes a day to journal . I try to occasionally reflect on the past to learn. 9% future-focused: This is the time I dedicate to planning and thinking about the future . I always want to be aware of the fact that life can be long. 90% present-focused: This is when I execute my plans and the time I spend enjoying my days. I don’t want to be lost in thought when I do these things.

The 1/9/90 principle of time perspectives

<ol><li>Past: When you’re focused on the past, you’re often paralyzed by what has happened to you. You either wish your life was like the “good old days” or you wish certain things didn’t happen.</li><li>Present: When you’re primarily focused on the present, you either want instant gratification or enjoyment of what’s in front of you. No thought of the past or the future. </li><li>Future: A future-oriented person is someone who eats healthy food, gets good grades in school, doesn’t smoke, drink, and is always working towards a future outcome. </li></ol>

The 3 time perspectives of the human mind

The way we act depends on the situation. When we mix up time perspectives, we get frustrated with life. Correcting our perspective helps us to live every moment to the fullest . Ultimately, we all want to make the best use of our time. So no matter what you do, don’t wait for life to bring you joy, clarity,or purpose. Embrace your past, think about the future, but remember that now is the time to live. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is not here yet. So make today count.

Be flexible and be present

Awareness of time perspectives helps you to live better because you will make better use of your time when you’re more aware.

Unlike our spiral galaxy, this one lacks a clean spiral shape. Some scientists think that is because the Milky Way and other galaxies are pulling and warping it.In terms of distance, there are two contenders for closest satellite galaxy. One group of stars is small enough that astronomers consider it a “dwarf galaxy.” The other group is so close that they still debate whether or not it is part of our galaxy or its own dwarf galaxy.

Where are they and what are they like?

Our sun is part of a massive collection of stars in the Milky Way galaxy. These hundreds of billions of stars orbit the galaxy’s center. But did you know that there are things that are even bigger orbiting the Milky Way’s center? Other galaxies orbit it too!These less massive galaxies have their own impressive collection of stars, which all orbit their own center; but the galaxies and everything in them orbit our galaxy too. It’s as if our galaxy is the sun and those other galaxies are planets. Astronomers call them “satellite galaxies.”

What is a satelite galaxy?

Some scientists don't thinkthe Canis Major cluster of stars is actually its own galaxy or dwarf galaxy. Instead they think it is just a dense area of faraway stars that are still part of the Milky Way. Either way, it is clear that this bunch of stars has been pulled very close to our Milky Way by our galaxy’s massive gravity. Over time, this could be the fate of other satellite galaxies in the area. They could all one day merge into an even larger Milky Way galaxy!

Where does one galaxy start and the other end?

What are they and what will become of them?

A Nebula is a giant cloud of dust and gass in space. <ul><li>Some Nebulae (more than one nebula) come from the gas and dust thrown out by the explosion of a dying star, such as a supernova. </li></ul>Other nebulae are regions where new stars are beginning to form. For this reason, some Nebulae are called "star nurseries."

What is a Nebula?

Nebulea are made of dust and gases—mostly hydrogen and helium. <ul><li>The dust and gases in a nebula are very spread out, but gravity can slowly begin to pull together clumps of dust and gas.</li></ul>As these clumps get bigger and bigger, their gravity gets stronger and stronger. Eventually, the clump of dust and gas gets so big that it collapses from its own gravity. <ul><li>The collapse causes the material at the center of the cloud to heat up-and this hot core is the beginning of a star.</li></ul>

How do stars form in a Nebula

Nebulae exits in space between the stars—also known as interstellar space. The closest known nebula to earth is called the Helix Nebula.<ul><li>It is the remnant of a dying star—possibly one like the Sun. It is approximately 700 <a href="https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/light-year">light-years</a> away from Earth. </li></ul>That means even if you could travel at the speed of light, it would still take you 700 years to get there!

Where are Nebulae?

Astronomers use very powerful telescopes to take pictures of of faraway Nebulae. <ul><li>Space telescopes such as NASA's Spitzer space telescope and Hubble space telescope have captured many images of faraway nebulae.</li></ul>
