Removing
the Obstacles to Allowing
Removing the Obstacles to Allowing
© Linda Storey 2005
During the last few years of my career in the corporate
world of banking I decided to read as many self-help books as I
could in order to override the negative feelings I was having. I
thought if I said enough positive affirmations, learned how to meditate,
and went on enough seminars I could quiet the little voice inside
that kept protesting.
Many of the affirmations actually made me feel worse because sadly,
they weren’t true for me. My belief system was presenting
itself and there were all sorts of limitations that I was beginning
to notice. “You have to stay at this job…you keep getting
promoted…you’re good at it…what will people think
if you quit…stay loyal…stay strong…don’t
let your husband down”. This voice was relentless.
All the while I was studying the Law of Attraction and discovered
there were three main steps:
1. Decide on what it is you want
2. Give it your attention, energy and focus
3. Allow it to come to you
Step #3 puzzled me. At first all I knew was what I didn’t
want. Then I actually had to give myself permission to explore what
it was that I did want. I now know that I always knew what I wanted,
I was just avoiding it because it would require change and that
part felt scary.
I have since changed careers and now teach others that change
can comfortably be made using the Law of Attraction in conjunction
with EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique.
EFT is the perfect match and companion to the Law of Attraction,
especially when working with Step #3, the allowing part. It’s
a breakthrough method that can quickly eliminate anxiety, fears,
doubts, cravings, negative emotions and limiting beliefs that can
get stuck in our body’s energy system. At times I refer to
it as a self-coaching tool, and at other times as do-it-yourself
acupuncture, comfortably using our fingertips instead of needles.
By tapping and releasing energy imbalances caused by unresolved
negative emotions we are able to consistently get out of our own
way and allow that universal flow of abundance to finally reach
us. I love the fact that EFT is unlike the traditional model of
talk therapy in that there’s no need to dig up the pain of
the past. The emphasis is on deciding what you want, giving it your
attention, energy and focus and releasing any blocks to allowing
or receiving.
One of my most recent dreams come true is a result of clearing the
limiting belief I had that it was too much trouble to find a reliable
carpenter to build a new cedar deck for our home. I was frustrated
after contacting three carpenters and for reasons only known to
them they didn’t follow through with getting back to me.
Once I decided that enough was enough I mentally set a date as to
when I wanted the deck to be started even though I didn’t
have a clue as to who would build it. I chose July 1, 2005 and within
days my husband and I attracted the perfect builder who owns a small
mill. He did an estimate the next day, it was very much in alignment
with our plans and the deck was actually completed before July 1st.
The amusing thing is that John the builder turned out to be a neighbour
who only lives eight houses down the street. He was right underneath
our nose the whole time. All I had to do was to release the frustration
and limiting belief that was keeping me stuck from allowing him
to arrive.
What a gift EFT has turned out to be. It’s so easy to
learn and can be used on a daily basis to release anything that
doesn’t feel good. More and more people are using it to remove
blocks to financial success and abundance, to stop cravings in their
tracks, to heal emotional pain of the past, and to attract ideal
people into their lives.
When it comes to the Law of Attraction, adding EFT to the equation
is like a marriage made in heaven. Consider adding it to your toolbox
of attracting skills as it really helps to speed things up by getting
out of your own way and allowing your dreams to transform into physical
reality. You never know what the Universe has waiting for you, and
like me, it could surprise you and be just around the corner.
