Does the Law of Attraction Really Work?

August 8th, 2011 by

I just did a quick search over at Amazon and found 1500 books on the Law of Attraction. And when I searched in all departments I found another 1500 items for sale. That’s a total of over 3000 books, videos, audios and even software for subliminal products all focused on the LOA.

There is quite an industry catering to those of us interested in using the Law of Attraction to obtain all of the things that we desire.

The title “Law of Attraction” is only several years old but the concepts behind the “law” are not new at all.

The most popular modern writer on this subject is Napoleon Hill with his classic book “Think and Grow Rich”.  And he was preceded by dozens of other writers teaching the same idea. If you would like to read some of these books you can download them here at no cost.

So with this abundance of books, videos, audios, subliminal tapes, courses and seminars why doesn’t everybody have exactly what they want?

The posts that I write concerning financial abundance and the Law of Attraction get the most visits.

You would think that with everything that is out there concerning the LOA that everybody would be fulfilled and there would be no interest in my posts or the sale of any books.

So obviously there is something that is not working.

Now I am sure that there are a fair number of people who buy these books, tapes etc.  and let them collect dust. So if you do not use the techniques then that does not count toward the idea not working.

What I am interested in are all of those people who actually work at the different variations of the system and still do not have what they want.

Why is that?

Let’s Use an Example

The Law of Attractions says that what we concentrate on with clarity of purpose and high emotions will be drawn into our life.

So you follow the rules and work on financial abundance or vibrant health or a great relationship.

But suppose that most of the people you know have bad relationships, do not have financial abundance and are not very healthy.

Or said another way, the world you live in does not support the possibility of these wonderful things becoming manifest. They do not exist in your world.

Suppose you were the world’s leading expert at finding buried water. You had a success rate of 95% on any given day.

Now suppose you were moved to a desert environment that had almost no water.  What do you think your success rate would be on any given day?

How successful you are is primarily determined by the environment you live in.

If you live in a world that you view as containing very few or no opportunities for financial success, how can you bring those opportunities into your life? No matter how good you are at manifestation.

What Does All of This Mean?

All of this means, that if you believe that what you want does not exist in your world then you will not be able to bring it into your life.

And that is the problem with the Law of Attraction.

Before you can manifest something you first have to change your world view to believe that the things that you want truly exist in abundance in the world.

Until that happens the “>Law of Attraction will not produce the results we know that it should produce.

What to Do?

One person sees the world full of opportunity while another sees the world as a hard place to make a living.

One person lifts themselves out of poverty with the opportunities they see while another has trouble feeding their family because of the lack that they see.

Do these people live in the same world? Possibly not.

In my next article I want to talk about the “tapestry of life”.  But for now I want to say that the world is a place of infinite possibilities and what we see in the world is what we choose to see.

One example is of the optimist who sees the glass as half full and the pessimist who sees the glass as half empty. They are both looking at the same glass/world but see two entirely different things.

Do you think that the glass is half empty person can manifest abundance with their world view of lack?

The first thing to realize is that we can change our world view and therefore change the opportunities that come into our lives.

When there are many opportunities available then the Law of Attraction works very easily.

If you have questions about how energy healing can dramatically increase the effectiveness of the LOA feel free to contact me for a no cost evaluation.

Bowling Balls and Why Change is Hard

August 2nd, 2011 by

Now how is that for a strange title for an article?

I’ll bet not many people have linked those two ideas together.  Right?

OK, so now that you are curious, exactly what do I mean by that statement?

A Bowling Example

I actually really liked to go bowling. I have not gone in many years but I remember it being tons of fun.

I liked watching the bowling ball rumble down the alley on its way to that collision with the pins.

And no matter how much I yelled at the ball or twisted my body to force the ball to go in a certain direction, once released the ball just kept going in the direction it was thrown.

There seemingly was nothing that could be done to change the direction of that bowling ball once it was set on its course.

Is That What Our Life Path is Like

On any given day we have around 15,000 thoughts go through our mind. We have 100s of decisions to make each day that clamor for our attention. Decisions such as “should I get up to go to work or hit the snooze alarm” or “should I blast my horn at the car that just cut me off” or “do I want a small or large mocha frapp”.  We are also constantly being confronted with emotional choices such as “do I get hurt by my co-workers sarcasm or just laugh it off” or “do I fully accept my partner’s statements of love and affection” or “do I act aggressively to get noticed for that promotion at work”.

When we look at all of our choices during the day, are certain actions and reactions more likely to occur then other actions?

For instance, if someone cuts you off while driving are you more likely to get angry and scream at the other driver or just ignore it and calmly keep driving.

In large part, the answer to that will be determined by how you reacted the last time you were cut off in traffic.

In fact, since we are so overwhelmed with thoughts and decisions and emotional choices on a daily basis, most of our actions and reactions become habitual. In other words, what we did the last 5 times or the last 10 times or the last 100 times will probably be what we do this time.

Why is Change Hard?

Each action, thought or emotion that we have is like a bowling ball thrown down an alley. Our reaction has a momentum and direction determined by the initial throw of that bowling ball, and this initial throw could have taken place many years ago.

In bowling, the pins are at the end of the alley and are only hit once. But in life the “pins” are constantly in the path of the ball and are “hit” every time that situation arises.

The momentum of our past actions determines the course of our present and future actions.

And that is why change is so difficult. Our actions have been set in motion in the past and we are replaying them now. And we are replaying them often without knowing the origin of our actions or the initial throw down the alley.

What to Do

The first thing to do is to realize that even though we appear to have choices in how we act, the truth is that our choices are constrained by the momentum of our past behavior.

The momentum of that bowling ball causes our actions to repeat themselves over and over again.

The next thing to do is to stop and insert a pause before your reactions. That pause can be a breath, a blink of an eye or even a mental stop sign. And during that pause we can take that instant and decide if the way we are going is the way we want to go.

In that pause the momentum of the past does not exist. In that pause we are set up to make a new throw of the ball down the alley.

In that pause we have the ability to start a new life!

If we do not take that pause we do not have freedom of choice and change become nearly impossible.

When we take that pause and break the momentum of the past then all things are possible.

Our new life waits in that pause.

Happy bowling.
