This is a post I wrote around six years ago, but thought it would be good to highlight it again since re-reading it reminded me of some important points I've forgotten over time. It's about the Law of Attraction, which is the basis for the movie The Secret.
I've been hip to The Law of Attraction, thanks to Esther Hicks, who
channels a bunch of discarnate beings named Abraham, for almost 20
years. Esther was featured in the initial version of The Secret,
but was edited out for various reasons (see New York Times, February
27, 2007 article). I was psyched Oprah jumped on The Secret
bandwagon, because these amazing concepts are gaining popularity,
and for many people, their lives will benefit from knowing this
information.
But for those of us who've been around The Law of
Attraction block, exploring the deeper implications of this principle is
where the real power in using it lies. The fundamental creed of the Law
of Attraction is: Things of a similar vibration, or anything liken unto
itself, are drawn together. It's the "Birds of a Feather" concept.
People with similar interests often hang out with one another, or dwell
in similar locations in cyberspace. Ergo, like attracts like.
Here's
some pointers I've discovered about the Law of Attraction that might
help sort out some of the confusion as to how to implement this life changing concept:
1) Remember to ask for the highest good.
When setting an intention, ask for the highest good for all concerned
to be part of the outcome. This helps shift your focus from "me me me,"
to what's best for everyone. It also allows you to let go of controlling
how things happen, and gives the Universe wiggle room to orchestrate
events so your desires can manifest.
2) Focus on understanding why things happen. Over
and over again, I witnessed how incredibly powerful the Law of
Attraction could be when I asked to receive answers or insights about
the nature of reality and the human condition, not just physical stuff I
desired to have. All kinds of amazing things happened when I focused on
helping not only myself, but others. It seems the Universe really likes
it when we do this. I know I feel better too.
3) Get real with your subconscious beliefs.
Before you focus on the job, the money, the partner or whatever else
you'd like to attract, first get to the heart of what might be in the
way of vibrationally letting these things come into your life. I've
found it absolutely essential to do my inner work, to really get to
understand where I've been blind to my fears and motivations. The Law of
Attraction can't work if you've got a subconscious belief that people
who have money are bad, or if you are unaware that a deep unconscious
fear of abandonment has impacted all of your previous relationships. The
subconscious works in conjunction with the next subject: healing.
4) Focus on healing.
Really. This is probably the most important factor in working
consciously with the Law of Attraction. If you focus on healing your
past traumas, even if you aren't aware that you've got any, the Universe
will allow them to start to show up in your life so that you can heal.
If you heal, then your vibration, or signal, is clean and clear towards
what you want. The Universe acts like a big radio receiver, and if you
are saying you want something, but have a deeper belief that you can't
have it, you can't draw that experience or situation to you because your
vibration is sending out mixed signals. Therefore, focus on healing
yourself, and watch your life unfold in spectacular ways.
5) Watch for synchronous events. The Celestine Prophecy,
by James Redfield, reiterates the importance of synchronicity in the
Third Insight-..."Moreover, we humans can project our energy by focusing
our attention in the desired direction ("where attention goes, energy
flows"), influencing other energy systems and increasing the pace of
coincidences in our lives." [1] Synchronicity makes it easy for anyone
to know that they are receiving an important message from the Universe.
When you set an intention, and synchronicities start to unfold, the Law
of Attraction is giving you a high five that your intentions are being
received loud and clear. Now, you need to acknowledge and appreciate the
synchronicity for showing up, and not brush it off as "luck" or
meaningless. By paying attention and exploring what the synchronicity
means, more will start to appear. You're in the zone, and it's really
fun!
There are other suggestions I may cover in my blog another
time, but these are my top five picks for working more effectively with
the Law of Attraction. Give me your feedback if you feel so inclined,
and enjoy the journey!
