The Law of Attraction

 

Many people try to use the Law of Attraction to manifest the things they want but give up too soon. It's my aim to show them ways to use attraction easily.

What is the Law of Attraction, really? 

Once and for all, what the Law of Attraction is and how it's used.

So this is it. You've heard about the Law of Attraction for what seems like forever, thanks to books and DVD's like The Secret and through self help gurus such as Joe Vitale and Abraham. Now you're ready to give it a try.

However, you've run into a snag. Where do you begin? There's so much information out there that it all seems to overwhelming. How is a brand new wannabe manifester like yourself supposed to separate the wheat from the chaff? How do you know what to do first? Just where do you start?

Have no fear dear reader. As my old USMC Drill Instructor used to say to me when I complicated things: "Keep It Simple" (actually he said "Keep it Simple Stupid" but I am not going to insult you. Not even in jest).

Anyway, there are basically three steps that you need to know about when creating with the Law of Attraction. Actually there are five but I'm going to tell you about the other two a little further down the lens. The basic three are definitely need to know when it comes to manifesting. The three steps are:


  1. Ask

  2. Believe

  3. Receive



Let's go through each of the steps one by one.

1. Ask

First off, you have to ask. This means that you must know what you want. You must, in no uncertain terms ask for exactly what you want. No ambiguity, no uncertainty, no exceptions. The universe does not care about what you meant to ask for nor does it assume that you say what you mean. It gives you what you ask for in your heart. Period.

The problem is that many of us want one thing but our thoughts and feelings tell the universe that we really want something else. If you're thinking about having more money but you spend your time thinking and kvetching and moaning about how hard it is to earn money the universe will assume that what you want is difficulty in earning money.

Remember, the Law of Attraction does not assume you mean something other than what your predominant thoughts indicate.

2. Believe

You must believe - without a doubt - that what you ask for is yours. This means that you must believe in a way that you already have what you have asked for.

Now we come across a rather big obstacle. What if you're used to thinking that you won't get what you asked for? Are you then a failure? Worse, have you been scammed into believing a fairytale about the Law of Attraction? In other words, you may, after setting your intention, have a barrage of negative thoughts racing through your head, gumming up the works. Don't worry. In the next section I'll show you a few simple ways to get rid of the negative thoughts and remove the roadblocks to your success.

3. Receive

To receive does not mean that you sit back and wait for the Law of Attraction and the universe to drop your dreams in your lap. You have to do a little work, although not as much as you would if you weren't using the Law of Attraction.

Instead of expecting the Law of Attraction to deliver what you ask for, consider that you actually have to go pick up your desire. This means that when your intuition tells you to do something, no matter how silly or strange, you do it. Hard to believe, maybe but true.

So that's it, the 3 basic steps to getting what you want using the Law of Attraction. But that's just a primer. I can almost guarantee that as new as you are at manifesting your desires, you will find that negativity both inside and outside you will rear it's extremely ugly head. In the section below will explore what it takes to dispel those negative beliefs and get you your dream.

What's Missing? 

You've done all the steps, why isn't it working?

So you've asked and believed, why haven't you recieved? As it turns out, there are a couple of steps that either haven't been mentioned or have been sort of glossed over in all those Law of Attraction books you've been reading. One of these steps is optional but the other is very much required.

The missing steps are as follows:


  1. Know what you don't want

  2. Remove your blockages



1. Know what you don't want

This step, as I said above, is optional but it can't hurt to take a look at it. Basically all you do is simply look at the areas in your life and decide what it is you don't want in your life. Very simple and the only real reason it would need to be done is to clarify what you do and don't want.

For example, suppose you drive to work in a clunky old rustbucket and you want to attract a new car. What you'd do is realize that you are dissatisfied with your old car and you want a new one. Now the steps become as follows.


  1. Know What You Don't Want

  2. Ask (for what you do want)



Notice that Step One has been moved down to Step Two.

Now here comes the most exciting step which is:

Remove your blockages

Here's the problem. You know both what you do and don't want and you're ready for it to show up in your life when all of a sudden, in an inner voice so quiet you almost miss it, comes the word/feeling:

It's impossible to get what you want just by thinking about it.

Or something like that. This little bit of negativity if left unchecked, can derail any attempts you make using the Law of Attraction.

This is why we need to demolish that negative thought and more like it using some of the techniques that I'll tell you about a little later in this lens. But for now let's look at the new and improved list of steps.


  1. Know what you don't want

  2. Know what you do want (Ask)

  3. Remove your blockages

  4. Believe

  5. Recieve



By the way, this system wasn't created by me. It was created by Dr. Joe Vitale who you may have seen in the DVD The Secret. You can learn more about the two extra steps by clicking the link below.

The most important step of the two new ones is step three. Read below to find out a few ways you can remove the negative blockages keeping you from getting what you want in life.

Removing Your Blockages 

This isn't the space to give you a detailed description of the methods listed here but I can point you in the right direction.

What follows are three very effective ways to remove the negativity that appears when you're using the Law of Attraction. They are, well, hard to believe that they work. I can't put it any simpler than that but they do work. I strongly encourage you to try one or even all of these techniques and find out for yourself.

Here they are:



  1. EFT

  2. Ho'oponopono

  3. Mastery Of Life




EFT

EFT means Emotional Freedom Techniques. It involves tapping certain points on your body that correspond to the meridian accupressure points in the energy system in your body. Tapping these points clears the emotional energy that leads to those negative thoughts that lead to the Law of Attraction seemingly not working in your life.

Discovered by Gary Craig, EFT is an effective way of removing the blockages to your progress using the Law of Attraction effectively. You can learn more about EFT by clicking here, here and here.

Ho'oponopono

Ho'oponopono is a part of the Huna tradition of the Hawaiian shamans. I will admit that when I first heard about it, I was skeptical but when I tried it, I was blessed with a peace I wasn't aware I was capable of.

This is how it works. By realizing that the world you see is one that you created, you begin taking responsibility for everything in it. So if you see something in your world that you don't like, anything, you take steps to remove it. Those steps are simply repeating the phrases "I love you, I'm sorry, Please forgive me and Thank you." Yes it's weird and yes it's hard to believe and yes it doesn't make any logical sense but try it and see the effects for yourself.

You can learn more about Ho'oponopono by clicking here.

Mastery Of Life

This is a system created by Bill Ferguson, a divorce lawyer who grew dissatisfied with the anger and frustration displayed between his clients and their spouses and decided to find out how people could divorce as friends. Out of that he came up with Mastery of Life, which shows us how to fix our lives by removing the mechanism that keeps us down.

You can find out more about this mechanism and how to remove it by clicking here.

Those are my top three choices for clearing the blockages from your life that keep the Law of Attraction from giving you the things you want out of life. I hope you enjoyed reading about them and if you have any questions or comments, please leave me a blurb! If you want to flame me, at least be original! :-P
