There are a great many examples
and displays of the Law of Attraction and how it works all around us. There are
also lots of writings, perspectives and explanations of its power; and all are very
enlightening. But, many are lacking substance and useful information.
In my heart I can't help
feeling a bit disappointed that the world we live in has mis-lead and
brainwashed us so badly that our experience of the Law has been distorted at
best, and in too many instances…damaging.
For many people, the mis-use
of the Law of Attraction has created more painful experiences than pleasant
ones. These painful experiences have created emotional blocks and scars that
have compromised our joy, love, success and even our health. As a result, we
have to overcome many issues, and are required to re-train our minds in order to
make this ‘natural process’ work for us.
Most of us feel like the Law
of Attraction is working us, instead of us working the Law. And, there’s some
truth to this belief. It seems so unfair, because this Law, this Divine Energy
was designed to be our benefactor and the creative medium we were to use to
create the lives of our dreams.
But, rather than go into all
of the reasons why we’ve come to this place of ignorance and confusion about
the Law of Attraction, I’ll use this time to talk about how we can correct our
beliefs and behaviors, so we can begin to experience the wonderful things the
Law can bring to us.
There are many ‘Laws’ of the
Universe. There’s the ‘Law of Belief’: it is done unto you as you believe.
There’s the ‘Law of Gravity’: it’s what makes this physical Universe possible;
it’s what holds everything together, and us to the Earth.
And, there’s the ‘Law of
Attraction’, which is more commonly interpreted as you ‘reap what you sow’; simply
put, that’s exactly what it is. You receive the energy equivalent of what you
put out. And, like the other Laws, it works whether you know it exists or not;
whether you believe it works or not; and whether or not you consciously work
with it.
The Law of Gravity is based
on the power of magnetism. It always ensures that everything physical will be
drawn to the center of gravity of the largest celestial body around or near it.
This is a very simplistic explanation that suffices for this conversation.
The Law of Attraction is
based on energetic/emotional vibrations. Here on Earth, we are the emotional
vibration centers. Therefore, the Law will draw to us, our emotional
vibrational equivalent.
All emotions have
vibrational frequencies. You can feel the energies of love, joy, fear and hate.
Love and joy make us feel good; fear and hate do not. For us it means that what
we feel, determines what comes to us. In order for the Law of Attraction to
work for us and attract the things we want, we have to be emoting at certain
vibrational frequencies…consistently.
And, therein lies the
problem. Most of us are not in control of our emotions. Very often we’re
expressing them dysfunctionally, and at other times, we’re in the ‘negative
zone’. As a result, we create more of what we don’t want, than what we want.
For example, many of us are
filled with fear, worry, stress, anger, resentment and depression. These are
very low frequency emotions that restrict the ability of the Law of Attraction
to bring the good things we want in life to us. These energies are incompatible
with the positive energies of abundance, prosperity, love, joy and success.
It’s like the energy fields
of a magnet; one end is positively charged and the other end is negatively
charged. When the compatible energy ends of two magnets face each other, they
are drawn together. When the opposing energy ends face each other, the magnets
are pushed apart.
Our emotions work the same
way. So, in order for us to use the Law of Attraction correctly, we have to get
our emotions vibrating at a level that attracts what we want, instead of
repelling it. It’s a principle of the Universe that incompatible energies can’t
come together.
As simple as the concept of
the Law of Attraction is, there are many complexities underlying how we
interact with it. Our experiences, beliefs, programming (by parental and
societal training and behaviors), all affect our ability to work with the Law.
Our experiences and belief
systems are usually set during our childhood. We are deeply imprinted by what
we see, feel and hear from our parents, teachers, and surroundings early on.
Let’s talk about that for a minute.
If you grew up in a home
where your parents struggled with money and never seemed to have enough; maybe
even fought a lot about the lack and limitations the were experiencing, you
probably have a lack and limitation mindset that’s deeply rooted in your
subconscious mind.
Without knowing it, you
continue to create the lack and limitation conditions that you learned in your
childhood. Those deep seated, unconscious belief systems will require clearing
in order for you to turn things around. But, don’t worry…it can be cleared.
Conversely, if you grew up
in a home where there was abundance and prosperity, and your parents were
loving and respectful of each other and their children, you probably have an
unconscious ability to make the Law of Abundance work for you. You simply do it
without thinking about it.
Another channel for negative
programming may come from our religious training, or lack thereof. Perhaps you
were told that money was evil, or that rich people were materialistic and
selfish. That they took advantage of others and couldn’t be trusted.
You may have been taught
that having money would ruin you, or that you’d be corrupted if you ever became
successful and wealthy. Maybe you were taught that money wasn’t spiritual and
that only poor people would be worthy of going to heaven.
But, none of that is true.
And yet, you were programmed to live a life of lack and limitation, fear and
insecurity and confusion. As a result, no amount of positive thinking is going
to make the Law of Attraction work for you until you clear and reframe your
beliefs. Then and only then, will you be able to work the Law of Attraction as
it was designed and intended.
The bottom line is this. You
CAN change your beliefs, learn to use the Law of Attraction correctly, and
create the life you’ve always wanted. There are practices, techniques and
healing modalities available to make this transformation happen.
All you have to do is decide
you want to live a life of abundance, joy and love, and then take action to
make it happen. Your life won’t transform overnight, but once you start the
journey, you will see results…and fairly quickly.
So…it’s all up to you! You
can live in denial and limitation and tell yourself there’s nothing you can do
about it, or you can take control of your life and make the Law work for you.
Make that choice today…and start living the life of your dreams.
