Have you heard of the Law of Attraction and tried to put it to use in your life?  Have you gotten frustrated and decided that it didn’t work? Or that there was some secret ingredient that was left out and you were out of the loop?  I know that I have.

Recently I came across something that shed a light on my frustrations.  I hope it will be helpful to you too.

You may remember that the first key to change is to decide clearly what you desire, and to intend that change to occur in your life.

·    Write down what you desire, either in detailed or generalized terms, utilizing the left side of the brain.

·   Either draw or cut out a picture of this desired change to engage the right side of the brain.

·    Determine the emotions that you desire and as you imagine this change as if it already has occurred, feel the feelings fully! As you do this you are experiencing the high vibration of happiness, peace, contentment, etc.

·    Maintain it for as long as you can. When it wanes or you get into your old habits of thought and feeling, observe yourself and go back to what you DO desire and intend.

So what may be getting in your way?  What is interfering with your practice?  Do you get off the path and soon find yourself back to where you started, feeling pessimistic and doubtful?

This is what is likely happening.  Your conscious mind only knows what you have already experienced. When you go back to your old perspective of negativity and low vibration, your brain is sending out a vibration (and message, if you will) that is contrary to the new one that you intend.

In other words, you are essentially in an argument with yourself.  And you are sending out conflicting frequencies that cancel out what you desire.  Part A:  “I intend to dissolve my debt as quickly as possible.”  Part B:  “I have always been lousy at managing my money, and will never get out of debt!”  After all, you have lots of evidence of the latter, and don’t have a clue as to HOW you might achieve the former.

Here’s a suggestion:  for the time being, don’t worry or concern yourself with HOW you will achieve your dream. Just focus on the feeling of WHY you desire it and what it will feel like when you do.  Keep your vibration HIGH.

Focus on practicing this for 30 days.  It takes about that long to establish a new neuropathways.  You may trust that HOW to do things will begin eventually to occur to you.  For the time being just practice raising the vibration level of the thoughts that your brain is putting out there.  Remember, as Einstein said, “Thoughts are things.”

And that we cannot transmit and receive frequencies of different levels of vibration.  In other words, I cannot transmit the low frequencies of doubt and dread and receive a high frequency of health and happiness.

And as Earl Nightingale said, “We become what we think about most of the time.” It pays to pay attention to your thoughts!  And to take action if they are NOT what you intend to become!
