How To Get The Law Of Attraction Working For You

There has been a lot of negative feedback in regards to the Law of Attraction, especially in regards to the film “The Secret” and book “The Secret” written by Rhonda Byrne, (Published by Simon and Schuster, 2007) saying that the Law of Attraction is flawed.

However, the Law of Attraction simply put is that “like attracts like” which is not flawed in and of itself – if the Law of Attraction isn’t working for people it is because they are unaware of what can block or interfere with the Law of Attraction from working in the way that is beneficial to them.

So for this article, let’s going over four areas that block or prevent the Law of Attraction from creating and drawing in what you desire in your life.

1) Paradigms and Beliefs:

As Matthew Bilt explains in his e-book "Law of Attraction on Steroids." (www.LawofAttractionOnSteriods.com ) “a belief is simply a thought we repeat over and over again. A paradigm is a collection of beliefs. Beliefs create our reality therefore your level of life reflects you level of beliefs.”

Many of our beliefs are rooted in the Old C.A.P (Competitive Adversarial Paradigm.) The Old C.A.P. is a belief system that the world is scarce, there is a lack of abundance and not enough resources in the world for everyone, therefore everyone has to grab for the limited resources.

People rooted in the Old C.A.P. have been taught that the way to do that is to fight and compete for these limited resources and in order to survive and strive, they have to win. There is no such thing as a win, win, there is only win or lose.

Any belief that you hold in the Old C.A.P. would prevent you from following your desires because your decisions are based on lack and separation instead of abundance.

If you trace any belief that is holding you back in life - you will be able to trace it back to an Old C.A.P. belief.

For example if you have a belief that “You need to pay your dues, work hard and maybe someday you can get what you really want in life” - what happens if there is something in your life right now that is easy and effortless and you are naturally good at that you could make a lot of money doing right away, not sometime in the future after you “paid your dues”? You would block yourself from doing it.

Solution: If you trace your beliefs back to the Old C.A.P. and they don’t seem to be working for you, change your focus over to the New C.A.P. which stands for the Creative, Abundance Paradigm.

It comes from the belief that you can create your reality and that it is an abundant world so you don’t have to fight, compete and struggle.

As Matthew Bilt says in his E-book Law of Attraction on Steriods “Life is joyous and abundant, there is more than enough good to go around and every person is special and unique and is equally valuable and important to the well-being of humanity.”

So if any of your Old C.A.P. beliefs aren’t working for you, incorporate some New C.A.P. beliefs into your life and see if these beliefs work better for you.

2) Ego Based Desires Versus Soul/Authenticity Based Desires:

The following are the top complaints for people who are trying to manifest their desires:

1) Sometimes when they are trying to attract their desires, their desires come in, but would fall away

2) Sometimes what they desire comes in but causes chaos in their lives or

3) Sometimes what they want would not come in at all

What’s going on? Aside from blocks that we are discussing in this article, what can also be happening is that when we are trying to attract what we want - what we want is coming from the ego instead of the soul, because anything that you want that comes from the ego is based on fear, pain avoidance and separation - therefore what will be drawn to us will be of the same frequency of fear, pain avoidance and separation.

Another possible outcome is that the “ego want” may not come in at all because we have transcended or started practicing authenticity before it could arrive.

Now, anything that is soul based is automatically connected and one with the universe because you are part of the universe, therefore whatever you desire that is soul-based is for your highest and best and will arrive in divine timing.

Solution: The trick is to be able to tell and pay attention to see if your desires are things that make you feel joyful, happy, light and fun which would mean that they are soul/authenticity based desires versus desires created out of fear such as to avoid pain to try to gain approval and love from others that will feel like excitement or urgency and will feel heavy and drain you of energy when you focus your attention and feelings on them.

3) Shadowsides:

What people often complain about when they are trying to manifest is that they often draw in the opposite of what they want. This is often because what they are attracting is actually a representation of what is suppressed in their subconscious mind, a part of their own energy called their shadowside.

Solution: Be aware that all energies are within you and unconditionally love all theses areas within yourself. What will happen is that you will stop drawing in these energies because they no longer need to get your attention - you have embraced that aspect of yourself.

4) Not Listening To Yourself:

If you find in your life that other people don’t listen to you, it may be an indication that you are not listening to yourself or others.

In the area of listening to yourself, not only may you not be listening to your thoughts, you may also not be listening to your feelings or your body.

As I mention in the 12 Weeks To Abundance Workbook that I wrote (www.lifequestpublishing.com). “It’s too bad because your feelings and your body have a whole say and a whole lot to tell you.”

“We have been conditioned by society not to listen to our feelings and especially our body, but our desires communicate through our feelings and our body.”

“Your intuition, your inner-self, your higher self, your inner child whatever you like to call them are speaking through your thoughts, feelings and body and what they have to say to you is the key to all your successes in life because they are all parts of you who know you and what you are naturally designed to be.”

Solution: Take the time to listen and tune into your thoughts, feelings and body and trust that all these aspects of yourself are guiding you like a North Star to whatever is highest and best for you at any given moment in your life.
