We all live metaphysical lives, whether we are aware
of it or not. What we desire becomes manifest in our lives. What
we fear becomes manifest in our lives. When these things happen,
we are experiencing the Law of Attraction (sometimes called the
Law of Resonance.) The Law of Attraction states that we create (co-create
with God) in our lives that which we focus on. The vibration sent
out to the Universe of what we fear or desire or believe attracts
to us things that resonate with our fears, desires and beliefs.
Our lives are always in sync with exactly what we believe about
our lives.
To give you an example, I wanted to move from the city to the mountains.
The vibration of my thoughts about living in the mountains brought
about my buying a house in the mountains. The thought of living
in the mountains prompted me to take steps to contact a realtor
in the mountains, look at houses in the mountains, and eventually
buy the house I now live in in Asheville, NC. I created my current
living situation through my thoughts. Each thought about living
in the mountains led to my taking a step in the direction of making
that thought become a reality.
Many of us believe that our creative abilities have limits because
we were told by others that we are limited in our abilities. You
may say, "Well, of course you can change where you live. We
all know that, but there are other things that just can't be changed."
Why would our creative abilities stop at changing jobs, locations,
level of education, etc? If we can change where we live, why can
we not change just about everything else about our lives? I can
gain weight, lose weight, change my hair color and length and change
many other things about my physical appearance. I can change occupations,
increase my education, change husbands, change my physical surroundings,
etc. I can even change the past by reframing it and thinking about
it in different terms than I used to. I can certainly change the
future by the thoughts I am thinking now. Where do these abilities
end? I believe that they do not end . . . they only seem to end
because of what we have all been raised to believe.
If you can think it, you can create it. It is my belief that each
and every thought we think opens a channel in the direction of the
thing we are thinking about. The thoughtform that we send out when
thinking about something can be viewed as a string we are sending
out that will eventually reach the "object" we are thinking
about, connecting us to that object. As we continue to think about
that object, we "reel in" the object using the string,
or channel we have created through the vibration of our thought.
I used to spend hour upon hour trying to logically figure out how
I was going to go about manifesting (creating) something in my life.
I tried to think of every conceivable permutation of the logistics
of an event. I thought that it was my job to force the circumstances
of my life to change through sheer will. I know now that I have
only to think about what I want, need or desire, and the Universe
will take care of the logistics. I now decide what I want, visualize
having it, and then look for the signs along the way. I think of
these "signs" as road signs that point me in the direction
of the object or event I desire. The road signs mark the way from
my present situation to the one that lies waiting at the end of
the channel or string I have created.
The Law of Attraction works regardless of our awareness of
it, just as the law of gravity was operating even before Newton
"discovered" it. Wouldn't it be better to work with the
Law of Attraction than against it? Knowledge of how this law operates
is important if you want to work with rather than against it. If
you are indecisive, you will have a difficult time creating what
you think you want. It is important to hold your focus through thoughts
and visualizations of what you want to create. Each time you "rock
the boat" by having a negative thought about what you want,
or by changing your mind about what you want, you are disrupting
your natural ability to create. Writing down your creation helps
solidify the process of instructing the Law of Attraction to attract
to you that which you desire. Writing down what you desire, as a
goal already realized, also provides you with a focus when your
thoughts begin to waver from that goal.
My "ideal" life, the one I would have created for myself
had I found a genie who would magically grant me three wishes, has
become a reality. I am my own genie. You are your own genie as well.
What have you, as a genie, created in your life? Have you created
peace, love, harmony and balance in your home life? Have you created
a job for yourself that provides you with as much abundance as you
want, need or desire? Have you created a job that fully utilizes
your innate skills and abilities? If you have created all of these
things, you already know how to use the Law of Attraction to your
benefit.
Something as seemingly simple as your next meal must be created
by someone. Who do you think decides (creates) what you are going
to eat at your next meal? No one but you is responsible for the
thought that creates your next meal. God provides, but it is our
responsibility to partake of what He has provided by bringing it
into creation through our thought. God doesn't decide whether you
are going to eat chicken or pasta at your next meal. He provides
us with infinite choices, and the free will to make those choices
based on our own personal desires.
Consider your next meal. If you think of what you would like to
eat, and then eat it, are you not creating that meal from your thought?
Let's say you decide you want to eat lasagna for dinner. When you
get home, your partner says he/she doesn't want lasagna and would
rather have steak for dinner. It is your next (or final) thought
on the subject that will create your meal. You might decide that
you really want lasagna, and talk your partner into having lasagna
too. You might decide that you would just as soon have steak because
that's what your partner wants. You might decide it is okay if you
have lasagna and your partner has steak. (Of course, you may decide
it's all too much trouble and decide to skip dinner!) The decision
that you make ultimately leads to the creation of your meal.
Take a moment to think about what you believe about your ability
to create (attract) whatever you want. Have you labeled yourself
with limiting labels? We often label ourselves in order to categorize
ourselves, but categorizing ourselves limits us. For example, do
you think of yourself as athletic? If you do, you may have some
limiting thoughts or beliefs about being athletic. You may have
"learned" that being athletic is incompatible with being
artistic, or mathematical. Or, alternatively, do you consider yourself
un -athletic? If so, you have limited yourself through the use of
a label.
When you start believing that you are a divine being, you will begin
to release the limiting thoughts and labels you have about yourself.
Were you raised to believe that women don't __________ (fill in
the blank)? Were you raised to believe that men ___________? Were
you raised or taught to believe that money comes only to those who
work hard? If you believe this, and if you believe that you are
not a hard worker, you are limiting yourself in what you will create.
Here is an affirmation that will help you open up all channels to
the things you want, need and desire: "I am a divine being,
with all abilities to create everything I want, need and desire."
Experiment with creating something new in your life about which
you hold a limiting thought or belief. For example, try to think
of something you believe that involves a negative "always"
or "never," such as "I never get a parking place
near the door," or "I am always losing my keys."
Change each of these to a positive statement such as "I always
get a parking place near the door," and "I always find
my keys easily." You will be amazed with the results. After
a few days of using these affirmations you will discover that you
are getting parking places near the door and that you no longer
lose your keys every time you turn around.
Once you have experienced success with smaller creations such as
the ones above, try tackling something that you would consider more
of a challenge. If a belief in your limitations is getting in your
way, consider this an experiment in which you have nothing to lose.
As each new creation comes into being from your thoughts (affirmations),
you will begin to realize that there are no limits to what you can
create. God is limitless. He has not decided that we will be given
the ability to create only small things. He has endowed us with
limitless creative ability, and it takes only our thoughts to create
whatever we want. Now, go create your life exactly the way you want
it to be!
