Law of Attraction II

Since the movie, “The Secret” has taken the world by storm, many people are jumping on the “Law of Attraction” bandwagon. People are so interested in this concept, even though it isn’t really new. I choose to believe it’s called The Secret because this idea has been hidden inside ourselves and we don’t tap in to on a daily basis. If we were to focus on our creative abilities instead of focusing on what we don’t have (or comparing ourselves to others), we’d be receiving more of what we want on a consistent basis. To read more about my personal experiences with the Law of Attraction, please read my blog entries, “Whoah, How Kooky!” parts 1 and 2. Myself, along with thousands of others, have been using and teaching this law for years. Most of us have been successful and I think it can be a lot of fun if applied appropriately with pure intent. I explain this process in detail in my other articles, but after the movie came out, I felt it was time to post another one to clarify some things. What The Law of Attraction is NOT We attract people, events and long-term situations in our lives by our words, thoughts, feelings and actions/choices. Nobody is 100% consistent with their thought processes every single day, which explains why it feels like we’re going through life riding a psychotic rollercoaster. Is there anything wrong with this? NO. Why? It’s because we are HUMAN. Human beings aren’t programmed for perfection so we’re bound to attract situations which make us uncomfortable, challenged, sad, emotional and drained. We also attract scenarios which make us happy, excited, loved, hopeful, productive and successful. There needs to be a balanced blend of positive and negative events in our lives to learn, grow and change. When it comes to dealing with the not so happy moments, it’s normal to want it to disappear immediately. This is the most misconstrued idea a lot of people have about The Secret and the art of manifesting. Here are some examples of what the Law of Attraction is not… * A quick fix for life’s ups and downs * A miracle worker or magic wand * An “ask and you shall receive” instant gratification tool * A religious belief system that goes against God (or any higher power) * A way to provide people what they want without effort * A method to manipulate people and/or situations in a vindictive manner Simple Methods For Manifesting Manifesting a spiritual tool to help us shape and change our lives for the better. It is to be used with pure intent, alongside the Universe and/or God. * Create a Vision Board * Speak your goals into being with family/friends * Visualize your goal without fear * Make a descriptive list Vision Boards are very cool as it helps with the process of Creative Visualization. It may take a bit of work on your part, but having that collage of pictures and writing does move the energy quicker than just thinking about what you want. I’ve found that speaking my goals and dreams into being with my friends is like pressing a “now” button. Okay, now being within 3 months or so. When you’re telling people what you want, you’re more passionate. It’s like sending an instant message to the Universe. Important Guidelines For Success * Try not to obsess over the stuff you’re manifesting. When we completely let go and allow the Universe to do its job, only then will things happen. * Understand that you may not get exactly what you want, but you will be lead to what you need. What you need will in turn be exactly what you want. * Erase the word “time” from your thoughts and vocabulary. It’s not up to us to decide when we should have something. It will come when it’s supposed to. * Remember that you cannot manifest a particular person to think, feel or act a certain way. * If you want a romantic partner, you can manifest the TYPE of person you’re looking for. It’s best to be open to a lot of options and not be shallow during the process. * Have faith! If you believe it’s possible then you’re creating a stronger, more open energy for your stuff to come to fruition. * Take time for yourself to just go out, live and have a blast. If you’re having a good time, you’re showing the Universe that you’re ready to attract people, places and things that match the energy. * Don’t be constantly thinking about what you don’t have. Focus on your ability to create. * Get a grip on fear! It’s best to let go of any fear of failure you may have. If you start off with faith and throw fear into the loop, you’re sending a contradiction out to the Universe. The Universe will respond to your strongest feelings and if it’s fear, that’s what you’ll receive. * When visualizing what you want, make sure you see yourself in a happy place. Keep it simple. * Do not be rigid about how things are going to come to fruition. The journey is just as important as the destination.
