The law of attraction is a fairly straightforward concept, but applying it in practice, can be a real bitch sometimes. We have all this yucky resistance. There are lots of misconceptions that lead us astray, and frustrate our attempts at changing our experience, in any real way.
We get all enthused to mold our reality just to our liking, and when things don’t seem to be happening, it is disheartening, to say the least. There is a part of us that truly believes there is something to the idea we create our own reality, but we just can’t seem to actually do it. We believe we are doing everything ‘right,’ so where the hell is our stuff already?
But, the process can be a bit more complex in practice than in theory…again, that resistance complicates things a bit.
Today’s podcast gives lots of juicy nuggets to help you along, and restore your faith, in your ability as a conscious creator. I hope you enjoy it.
I would also appreciate if you could take a minute to leave me a review on Stitcher…scroll down the page a bit and you will see an option to write a review. Thanks so much!

Thank you for recording this, I love your podcasts, they are so helpful and reassuring. What you said in point #3 made me realise, that despite no huge shifts in my physical reality yet, there have been many smaller manifestations all this time. Even though I still feel attached to my desire, I continue to manifest some good evidence of others with similar backgrounds and interests who have achieved what I want. I’ve been feeling more empowered to work on my goals each day. I may not be where I want to be, but doing things in that direction each day makes me feel better and like things will change. I also continue to manifest reassuring blog posts to remind me that I’m on the right path, and I’ve been able to feel a little better about people who provok(ed) huge envy in me.
What you said about clearing beliefs is really clarifying. I know I’m really feeling good when I do, but I still have beliefs that need to be shifted that are blocking the manifestations.
There are still times when I feel very negative emotion, but I really want things to changing for my life to be better. It feels very difficult to let go of attachment and to stop wanting things so much, but I guess it’s a good incentive to live my dreams, even if only through little things or for a few hours, every day.
I don’t know when my outer reality will change. I will just try to focus on feeling like I have what I want now or am at least lining up with it.
Hi M
So glad you liked it. Keep noting those smaller manifestations…when we truly remember what they represent, it can change our whole outlook. I can tell you are making such great progress…it will be exciting to hear more about your manifestations unfolding, and what you will feel inspired to do. We all have negative emotion so don’t beat yourself up about that one too much…it is a useful messenger and helps us know where we are focusing. You are most certainly lining up with it…I can tell by what you have been writing.
Hey Kelli, lots of great points in this podcast. I really like the one about being aware of things that are happening that show our energy is shifting and starting to come into alignment with what we want. This week I was reminded that sometimes things happen that appear negative at first, but are really taking us closer to what we want.
I’m manifesting, and taking action towards, a big change in my writing work. I’ve been doing some writing assignments, which payment wise were close to slave labour. On Monday, due to no fault of my own, I lost that work. My first reaction was despair and how am I’m going to make up that money. Then I looked at it from a higher perspective and thought no – celebrate – this is the Universe telling me I’m worth more than that, and I’m being given time to get on with the writing projects I find exciting.
Also, loved the Huffington Post article Why I Chose Not to Have Children….. Could totally relate to it. At 11 years old I knew I didn’t want to ever have children and continued to feel that way. I’m now 57 and past being able to have kids, and I can honestly say – I have no regrets, only a peaceful sense of having lived true to myself and what I knew to be right for me.
Have a great week!
Hey
So glad you liked it and found it helpful. I experienced a similar situation a few years ago with freelance writing and losing that work was the best ting that happened to me…rough times for a bit but I ended up with much more lucrative work and it led to other positive changes as well. Thanks about the HP article…it is nice to hear your experience. Following that inner knowing never steers us wrong!
it is true we do believe we would get what we want but when this doesnt come to pass, we end up frustrated and not believing and it is never that easy sometimes
Amazing and practical advice. Thank you for this podcast. Sheila and I usually just think that if we have something we want but can’t acquire it, we’ll simply tell ourselves that “it’s waiting for us.” Then we work hard for it.
Hey guys
I am so happy you liked it. You are certainly right…once you decide you want it, it is waiting to come to you. Just need to line up with it energetically and take those inspired actions when they strike!
Hello, Thanks for the podcast! 🙂
I have some questions about manifestation. The more I know more about LOA, the more obsessed I get when it comes to decisions.
Recently, I kinda felt that I wanted to contact my friend this week and she asked me if I’m free this Friday but actually I work for about 9 hours and when I get back to my neighborhood, it’s usually 10 pm. So I thought I might be a bit tired so I suggested meeting the next day but I’m wondering if I should follow what the universe is telling me? I’m a bit obsessed with whether or not I should’ve just followed my friend’s decision at first. Because usually the universe orchestrated all the things for me and I’m now worried if I miss out on something by changing the date. It may sound crazy but how can I not think too much about my decisions or details? It really doesn’t matter if I change things?
Hi Jamie
You are very welcome. You are not alone in overanalyzing things now that you know about LOA…knowing this information can be a mixed blessing at times! The way I see it is we can never really do anything ‘wrong’ Sure, by not following our intuition for example, we can end up manifesting something that showed us our ‘hunch’ was right. And we just learn from these situations and see what they bring up for us, what we manifested and how we can use the information to shift beliefs, get clarity, or whatever. The bottom line is you will never mess things up so much you can’t get whatever it is you want.
Thank you for your reply!! So even though I make mistakes, I should just get up and move on? then, whatever I desire will find a way to come to me? I’ve recently realized that I’ve been overanalyzing too much and stressed out. It doesn’t work and only make matters worse..It feels like I’ve had some side effects(?) about LOA 🙂
Yes, no matter what happens, you can’t really get off the path of what you want. We have resistance, fears and what have you, that may complicate things and that just is what it is. We are only human. But no matter what, you can always regroup and get what you want. A big part of that is detaching on certain opportunities, outcomes,etc… The overthinking is common…we are oriented towards thinking things through and we aren’t comfortable following our feelings. But it gets easier.
Hi Kelli,
I recently found your blog and have been binge-reading it and wanted to say that it’s really helped me. I believe the Universe brought me to your site because I’ve been struggling and feeling frustrated that “nothing is happening.” I realized that I’m coming from a place of desperation/lack and not having fun or feeling good. Something about the way you explained this really clicked for me. I’ve read and listened to many LOA practitioners and I don’t think I’ve come across someone explaining it the way you do. I found myself just nodding my head listening to you talk about how our mind will fight us on things. I’ve had all of the same limiting and negative thoughts. It’s like you’re inside my mind! 🙂
Through reading your blog I realized that I’m one of those people who thought “doing. doing, doing” would bring about what I wanted. It’s been hard for me to let go. Now I’m focusing on just feeling good and I feel like simplifying it like this has taken a lot of pressure off. I’m really enjoying your podcast and blog posts and I just wanted to thank you. Have a wonderful day! -Jamie
HI Jamie
Thanks so much for your comment and I am so happy you are finding my content such a useful resource. When we first start ‘trying’ to attract stuff, we often don’t realize the extent of the ‘lack’ energy and the attachment and we dont quite grasp the problem this will be. In the world of action, those feelings are often a good motivator to try and make changes but in the world of energy they don’t do us any favors. We are so action-oriented we tend to carry that tendency over into energy work and the way the LOA is explained by many leaves us equating it with actions like affirming,etc…. so naturally we see it as some sort of ‘tool’ rather than a ‘force’ that has always been operating in our lives. ANd yes, do whatever feels good…that is all we want anyway! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave this comment…it is much appreciated!
