The Law of Attraction
I love synchronicities. There was no accident that “The Secret” and all the buzz on the Law of Attraction (LOA) came to public view several years ago.
Esther and Jerry Hicks are best known for talking about LOA in their Abraham materials. It got people talking about the Power of Manifestation and their role in the process. Great!
Conversation stimulates awareness which is all part of personal and spiritual growth.
The following LOA formula is taken directly from Dr. Joe Vitale’s bestselling book, “The Attractor Factor”.
THE 5 EASY STEPS TO MANIFESTING YOUR DESIRES:
1. Know what you don’t want.
2. Select what you do want.
3. Clear all negative or limiting beliefs.
4. Feel what it would be like to have, do or be what you want.
5. Let go as you act on your intuitive impulses, and allow the results to manifest. In other words, to want without needing what you desire, letting go of attachment to any outcome and being absolutely ok with whatever happens. Surrender to receive what is for your best and highest good.
Is it all that simple?
No.
Because there is a critical factor to what you deliberately create and attract. YOU
We live in an energy Universe and you are an energy being. What you bring your focus to in thought, emotion and behavior is attracted into your life. What you are thinking and feeling is a good indication of what you are in the process of creating. You magnetize towards you that which you bring your focus and energy to because all that flows to you is a match to your vibrational energy.
You may want money but your overriding feeling and subconscious belief is not feeling good enough. You may want a loving relationship but your inner most feeling are ones that reflect feeling unlovable.
In other words your outer world is a manifestation and reflection of your inner thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and actions.
Folks jumped on the idea of The Law of Attraction as being their answer to ending their life challenges and struggles. They saw using LOA as a magic bullet and easily became disillusioned when the outcome they hoped for did not manifest they way they wanted or happened fassst enough. (Divine Timing, remember?)
It doesn’t work, I must be doing it wrong, it’s just a bunch of hooey…
Step five about letting go of attachment to the outcome hooks folks every time.
Rather than view what they were attracting as a healing and growth opportunity to transform themselves and raise their vibrations, their faith and trust shook with doubts and fears.
Why? We don’t know how to let go and fully surrender without trying to control, manage, or direct what happens to get the outcome we want. And when things don’t pan out as we hoped, we get angry, look for someone or something to blame, give up, feel helpless….
So when I hear people talking about applying the Law of Attraction and expressing frustration with their results, I understand. As one of many, many spiritual laws that govern the Universe aligning with spiritual Laws is not a technique you master in 5 easy steps.
Transformation is a process not a light switch. True transformation is a shift of consciousness and energy vibration that becomes integrated into who we become. Transformation goes beyond changing a thought, feeling, or behavior through practice and intention because we become the change we desire.
If you haven’t done the inner work to clear emotions, attitudes, and behaviors that are manifesting more of what you don’t want, you’ll continue to feel frustrated and have the same results. You can’t side-step doing the inner work.
You might be able to let go of a limiting belief in an instant by making the decision then and there. You might need to do more in-depth work that requires time and effort. The more you can appreciate the process as a journey of evolution rather than an event or technique to master, the easier and more fun it can become!
Love and gratitude are the core magnetizing energies of the Law of Attraction. When blocked, seek opportunities to forgive and move into gratitude and demonstrations of love towards self and others.
One more thing… I believe we are Source energy with the power to manifest our desires, wanted or unwanted and taking LOA literally diminishes the relationship we have with the presence and power of God in the equation.
What is also missing in thinking about LOA is that our soul’s intention for being here is growth and expansion and our human desires and intentions might be a mismatch. That’s why I include the phrases, “For my highest and best good, or this or something greater” when I express and focus on what I want to manifest.
Has your experience with The Law of Attraction caused you to lose faith and trust with your SELF, The Divine, others?
Or have your life experiences served to help you stretch beyond your limitations and comfort zone to become more of the person you are destined to be?
If you have lost faith and trust in the ways your life is unfolding take a look at #3 & #5 again with an open mind and heart!
To dance with this law, you must be willing to embrace all that you create, remembering that everything is in service to your growth and evolution. There are no mistakes, Nothing is wasted.
Trust THAT!
And if you are struggling with money woes, be sure to read this article I wrote on Tithing, a practice many people misunderstand that affects the flow of money and abundance you attract into your life!
