By Sarah Regan
We’ve all heard of the law of attraction—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 Shannon Kaiser and social
worker Vasavi Kumar, LMSW, MSEd, share their
perspective on why these laws are important and
how we can all put them into practice.
What are the 12 universal laws, and where do they
come from?
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 hermetic philosophy going back
to ancient Egypt.
The list of ancient laws has withstood the test of
time as both Kaiser, Kumar, and plenty of others
around the world still work with it today. “All of
the laws are about mastering your life with love
and joy,” Kaiser explains.
Here’s an introduction to the themes and
underpinnings of each, and how to apply them to
your life today:
1. Law of Divine Oneness
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.
How to apply it:
Kaiser notes this one can come off a bit heady,
but applying it in real life entails being
compassionate with others, and recognizing that we
are all one.
She recommends working this law by asking
questions like, “How can I show more compassion
and acceptance toward those I don’t understand?”
or “What would love do?”
2.Law of Vibration
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.”
How to apply it:
If you feel the need to elevate your frequency
(good vibes, anyone?), there are lots of great
practices to do so, including yoga, sound bathing,
and chakra work.
3.Law of Correspondence
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.”
How to apply it:
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.
4.Law of Attraction
Undoubtedly the most talked about universal law,
the law of attraction is often used for
manifestation. 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.
How to apply it:
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. “When we focus on what we want
versus what we don’t want, it will show up in our
life,” says Kaiser.
5.Law of Inspired Action
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.”
How to apply it:
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 the goals that we might
not have considered otherwise.
6.Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy
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 felt your
own positivity depleting? That’s one example—but
it can also work the other way around: Higher
frequencies transmute lower ones when applied with
intention.
How to apply it:
Knowing this, we can actively seek to uplift
negative energy around us by maintaining positive
thoughts and actions.
7.Law of Cause and Effect
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.
How to apply it:
Trust that every action will have a
reaction—good or bad. “What you put out there
may not come back to you at that moment, but that
vibration, that energy you put out there, has a
ripple effect,” says Kumar. “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.”
8.Law of Compensation
The law of compensation relates closely to the law
of attraction and the law of correspondence. “You
reap what you sow” is the main takeaway, 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.
How to apply it:
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?”
9.Law of Relativity
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.
How to apply it:
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.
10.Law of Polarity
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.
How to apply it:
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.
11.Law of Rhythm
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.
How to apply it:
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.
12.Law of Gender:
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.
How to apply it:
Achieve your own balance between the divine
masculine and divine feminine energies in order to
live more authentically.
The takeaway
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.
What new actions will you take to create
happy, sexy love that lasts?
