In theory, utilizing the law of attraction consists of a few simple steps–figure out what you want, use some tools and techniques to throw some energy behind the desire, and sit back and wait for it to appear.
But the reality can be quite different because we are starting from a space where our vibration is a bit muddied up with limiting beliefs, painful feelings, a distorted self-image,etc… We have a bit of work to do to clear that stuff out, and the various obstacles we face give us that very opportunity.
You got ‘stuff’ and that just is what it is…wouldn’t it be great to find a way to deal with it more effectively?
Podcast #58: Law of Attraction: Obstacles as Invitations
Hi Kelli, Ryan
Thanks for your podcast.
So, my experience with manifestations – there have been quite a few coming hard and fast in the last few weeks. All positive.
THEN: I have been trying to been manifesting this one particular house. It felt wonderful and it felt like home. So when the house of my dreams didn’t manifest, I was pretty upset and disheartened and wondered why the universe was sending me all these synchronicities that I could clearly connect to the house of my dreams and then – poof! Gone! But something weird happened. I felt such a massive relief and weight had lifted from my shoulders. I couldn’t explain why I felt happy I didn’t get it. Even now, I feel it is ok to let it go. I started to get the feeling that maybe better things are coming. I started to see with my eyes wide open other opportunities.
I realise I limited myself when I went totally specific in what I wanted. I couldn’t get myself into the surrender of it or allowing. It was more manipulating it to fit what I had in mind rather letting it come to me. (Hindsight is such a beautiful thing).
So what have I learned?
1. The biggest one!!! The feelings in relation to what you want have to be real. If I look into the universal mirror and pretend that I am happy – well the universe will call it like it really is. It wont manifest. My feelings have to be real, genuine, not manipulated. Faking it till it happens just doesn’t apply.
2. Good manifestations do happen. Example: after 7 years of wanting my partner to propose and get married he did all on his own, no pressure. We have been to hell and back, mind. I still have to get my head around it. It feels like the most natural progression and a genuine happiness. My partner was staunchly against getting married and I respected his wishes. I let it go. I still thought about it some times (daydreaming) and I thought I am ok with his decision. I thanked the Universe. Which made me realise…
3. Letting go. And to do that I had to be okay with the understanding things might not happen right now. If you truly want something, it might take a day or seven years!!! but it can still happen providing it still feels genuinely right. I am letting the Universe guide me to the right house, the right path. Yes it is scary because I liked to have control of these things with a tight fist, but seeing in the last few weeks how manifestation works, how the universe works I am a firm believer.
Thank you Kelli for all your podcasts, blogs and really putting things in such simple terms.
Peace and Light,
Viv
Hi Viv
Thanks for your comment and sharing your manifestations and insights gained. Anyone reading this will definitely get some great advice and also a nice dash of hope good things can happen for them too.You are right that giving up that control feels really scary and it is definitely a process, but as you have seen, the more you manifest and see how things work out for the better when we do that, the easier it gets to do it.
Hi I began using L.O.A. in 2012 to manifest pile of money and nothing Nothing Nothing from anywhere so far!
I focused on prosperity with all of my sincere emotion. I truely BELIEVED, and got nothing. Universe doesn’t seem to have any ideas about how to make it happen for me.
The time I began asking, I was young (35), now I am mid-aged and still nothing.
How many years more – based on your experience – you think I have to keep feeling good and letting go?
I think there are no “Magic and Miracles”, no “Endless Possibilities” in this time-space reality, as advertised on movie “The Secret”. LOA seems to be completely Random, not Logical – for it doesn’t work for 99% of people.
Why do You and other lecturers insist that L.O.A. works all the time? What if we do everything perfect, but there is NO vibrational property match of our thoughts and the physical universe?
Hi Mohammad
Without having talked to you personally, I can’t know much of what your struggles are and I can only address so much in a comment response so my thoughts will be more on the general side.
You have talked a lot about ‘trying’ to manifest things but manifesting is not about what we are ‘doing’ it is about what we are ‘being.’ Tools like affirmations are a helpful part of the process but not what the LOA is. And it isn’t something you ‘use.’ It is not a tool. I suspect you have had a lot of negative emotion you haven’t dealt with, and were just trying to ‘think positively’ and that usually won’t get us very far,especially when it comes to something like money because most of us have a lot of weird energy and beliefs surrounding it that actually have nothing to do with money but manifest in that area of our lives. Just wanting something isn’t what manifests it. I think there are lots of misconceptions about this teaching and it sounds like you have fallen prey to many of them.
We all get to believe whatever we want and I believe in infinite possibilities and miracles not because they sound nice but because I have experienced them first hand when I began changing my thought and belief systems. If you are not feeling a connection with this sort of teaching, you might want to immerse yourself in some other teaching you might find more helpful and resonates with you more. Good luck!
