Law of Attraction: Why It’s Never Too Late To Start Using It Now

Published by Other Authors under Law of Attraction

There are so many people just learning about The Law of Attraction who say they wish they had learned it when they were younger. “Oh how different their life would be!” they exclaim.

I’m here to tell you that it is never too late to learn or to reap the benefits of this wonderful way of thinking.

The perfect example of this is a recent episode that was on Oprah Winfrey‘s show. She was doing a follow-up on The Secret and more ways people could learn to use the Law of Attraction in their lives.

She had as one of her guests, Louise Hay. Talk about inspiring! Louise Hay did not start learning about the Law of Attraction until she was 50 years old. However, now at 81 she has accomplished more within the last 30 years than most people accomplish in their entire lifetimes! (Not to mention she also looks awesome!)

Louise Hay is a best selling author as well as the extremely successful publisher of Hay House books. If you have purchased any best selling Law of Attraction books over the last 10 years or so, you might be very familiar with the name.

This is a woman who has an extremely difficult upbringing. Her childhood was unstable and impoverished, and her teen years were marked by abuse.

She went through a divorce after 14 years of marriage and when later in life she was diagnosed with cancer, she put her philosophies into practice and instead of using surgery or drugs, developed an intensive program of affirmations, visualization, nutritional cleansing and psychotherapy. Within six months she was cancer free.

In 1984 she published her book titled You Can Heal Your Life based on her own experiences and included the information she talked about in her work shops. It explains how our beliefs and ideas about ourselves are often the cause of our emotional problems and physical maladies and how, by using certain tools, we can change our thinking and our lives for the better.

It reached the New York Times bestseller list and stayed there for 13 consecutive weeks.

To date, over 35,000,000 copies of the books have been sold. But she didn’t stop there. She then became the head of Hay House , a prosperous corporation that has sold more than ten million books and tapes since it started. It includes authors such as Wayne Dyer, Doreen Virtue, among others. This was a venture she started in her living room.

She then proceeded to start the Hay Foundation and The Louise L. Hay Charitable Fund, two non-profit organizations established by Louise that support many diverse organizations, including those dealing with AIDS, battered women, and other challenged individuals in our society.

Now at 81 years old, she had just come out with her first movie release titled, You Can Heal Your Life: The Movie.

So let’s do a quick rundown shall we?

Unstable and poor childhood Abused as a teenager Divorced after 14 years of marriage Diagnosed with Cancer (though this was later in life)
Learns about the Law of Attraction at age 50

Starts training in a ministerial program Becomes a popular speaker at a Religious Science church and starts counseling clients Lectures at workshops on people loving themselves and healing their lives Cures herself of cancer through alternative means Publishes her own New York Times Bestseller and sells over 35,000,000 copies Forms “The Hayride” , a famous support group for people with AIDS Starts her own publishing house with some of the greatest Law of Attraction writers today Starts two non-profit organizations in her name Contributes tons of articles to newspapers and magazine articles Appears on television around the world Has a monthly column titled “Dear Louise” that appears in more than 50 publications around the world At 81years old, releases her first-ever film on her life and work You Can Heal Your Life: The Movie

So, if you ever had a single doubt about all the different ways the Law of Attraction could work for you, or had a moments hesitation about how old you are when you are beginning to learn it, look to this wonderfully inspirational woman.

It is never too late. Think about it. Isn’t even just one day lived in complete peace worth it? Now just imagine doing it for the rest of your lifetime.

Affirmation of Undamaged Spirituality

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in October. I was cleaning the horse stables with a front-end loader. This large piece of farm equipment was familiar to me, having operated it for years on the farm. So, it was rather surprising when the engine blew up in flames, completely filling the cab with fire. Intuition caused me to reach for the only small opening out. I climbed up and out of the opening, jumped over the moving wheels, and crashed onto the gravel road, face first.

What do I remember when the flames engulfed me?

Asking what was going on. Feeling a mental affirmation that everything would be okay. Quietness. And, taking the stance that God is my life.

I was taken to the emergency room. The emergency room doctor reviewed my X-rays and came to tell me, “Your liver is bleeding, which generally is fatal. I need to find a surgeon to operate on you.”

While the surgeon was being located, I mentally reaffirmed that my life is connected to the undamaged Spirit, the source of spirituality.

The laws behind spirituality have proven to be a vital force in my human experience. And, that October afternoon, spirituality guided my consciousness to focus on the qualities of appreciation and honesty. This precluded me from thinking based on fear and dread.

The surgeon came to my room and introduced himself; he examined the monitors, reading my vital signs. With happy amazement he told me, “Your liver is stabilizing.” This actually allowed more time for them to get the operating room ready and also allowed me more time to digest the food in my stomach so it would be empty for the operation.

The operation that was never necessary!

Spirituality was already painlessly operating in my thought. Spiritual ideas from a book I regularly study, “Science and Health,” by Mary Baker Eddy, were being verified as legitimate. A few main ideas are that Spirit is all-in-All, our infinite source of being, and people are spiritual beings. Our spirituality can be, and is, discovered to be supreme, positively influencing human mortals to heal and experience the truth of undamaged Spirit, God.

Physically, I was unable to do anything on my own. A catheter was put in. I had fractures, a useless arm, a badly injured eye that was swollen shut, and I had second degree burns on half of my face (the side I landed on the gravel road with). However, metaphysically, I was active. I was honest with the surgeon. He realized that meditation was a significant factor in my life. Yet, from a practical standpoint, if fear ever blocked me from praying and my body began reverting into danger, we would reconsider our actions.

I sincerely appreciated the nurses who carefully and compassionately removed the gravel from the burned side of my face. The nurses cleaned my face in intervals, instinctively supporting the fact that mind and body work in unity. The nurses never pushed my mind into the realm of painful irritated thinking and my body healed quickly. The body could not help but conform to mind; to their compassion and my appreciative thought.

Pain relievers were unnecessary the entire time, throughout all the care, cleaning, and healing. After the second day, I was taken out of the ICU and put in a room of my own.

My husband took me home on the third day. Within three weeks I was taking care of my family, working, and even took a snowmobile out for a ride on the weekend. There is no scarring from the burns.

During this particular healing, it became solidly evident to me to revise “Science and Health,” first published in the year 1875. This book contains timeless, universal principles that are available to everyone throughout time. Therefore, the next ten years were filled with research, meditation, work, and spiritual growth. The result of this interesting work is “21st Century Science and Health.”

The energy of our tremendous cosmos mimics the energy of spirituality, advancing and expanding human beings into the possibility of non-intrusive healing. Affirmation of the ideas found in “21st Century Science and Health” are useful. We recognize, and can substantiate, more humaneness, more enlightenment, and our undeniable, undamaged spiritual nature.

Miracles Happen Every Day–Open Your Eyes!

Published by Other Authors under Life, Spirituality

Miracles still occur everyday. Keep your eyes open and you will see and be a part of them. A miracle is a supernatural event that might not occur otherwise unless there is extraordinary encounter, situation, or distress that requires it. A miracle can shatter time, as we know it. The right elements and absolutely the best people to resolve a situation are lined up and brought together with awesome speed. Supernatural protection, guidance, speed, strength, agility, stamina, ability, and healing are suddenly available to average people. On an energetic side very few of us know for sure what happened in those exact moments of a miracle unfolding. We are just grateful when it does happen. Miracles have happened regardless of what religion a person or group has practiced or where they live in the world. A miracle is an act of great compassion for everyone involved. It could become a catalyst for great change. Surely after a miracle occurs in your life, you are not the same. Everyone who is impacted by a miracle is greatly changed. For many it is an opportunity to drop an old belief system that has stopped them, and open to a new flow and regain their love of life.

There are many other examples of miracles occurring. There was show on TV called “It’s a Miracle” and every week they would show three or four miracles that happened to real people. It was so touching to see these miracles and the show gave you hope. In one episode a single mom with two boys, was struggling through a very difficult thanksgiving holiday shortly after her divorce. She lived in a cheap apartment complex. She woke up feeling very depressed, lonely and worthless about her self. She kept thinking about a thanksgiving meal, but she didn’t have any money for food for her and her boys.

No one had invited them to thanksgiving meal and she felt alone. She had taken the kids to the park and bought a hot dog for each of them. But everyone was still hungry and by the time they got home. The mother was feeling quite dejected. As they were walking up the stairs to their room an elderly woman came out of the lower apartment and waved at them excitedly. She had made a nice turkey dinner for them and wanted to invite them all to thanksgiving dinner. The family accepted and entered into the woman’s apartment.

The mom described everything as warm and cozy and the lights were softly lit. They had a wonderful meal, and the woman gave them unconditional love and acceptance. The family had enough left-overs for the week and the single mother’s self esteem was lifted. She felt loved, respected and that she was a good mom, and that everything was going to be okay. The surprise came the next morning when the young woman returned to the elderly woman’s apartment to give back the borrowed Tupperware for the food of the night before. No one was home, and when the young mom looked through all the windows, she discovered that the apartment was completely empty of any furniture and did not look like any one at all had even occupied it as recently as last night.

When she inquired with the apartment manager, he told her that apartment had been empty for three to four months. When she was interviewed for the program she told the audience that the elderly host had served all their favorite foods, and she knew specific information about the family and the woman. She knew where the young mom worked and what the boys enjoyed. The young woman felt in her heart that she had dinner with an angel that night.

From the book, Real People. Real Needs. Real Victories by Kenneth Copeland Publications which describes actual miracles that happened to his partners, this is an except from the story called “When time moved ahead in Green Valley.” It was set in the Appalachians and it tells of a woman who was raising her grandsons on her farm. She was a woman of great faith and she was well versed in the bible. Her grandson Michael who was eleven years old at that time, had jumped onto the back of the tractor just as it was being backed out of the barn. The metal rails of the barn ceiling were very low and Michael forgot to duck his head as they passed overhead. He was hit with full force in the face and head by the metal rails and was picked off his feet and squeezed between the tractor and the barn rails above. The left side of his face was totally flattened. The bridge of his nose was shoved a half inch into his skull. His left eye had been displaced. His nostrils were ripped away and blood spurted from his nose. Michael’s grandmother was terrified when she saw him, but she prayed in faith over him, and kept her fear in restraint. She had to drive Michael to the hospital because there was no ambulance service.

When he arrived there after the initial exam and review of his xrays the doctors there had to send him to another hospital fifty-four miles away to see a specialist and reconstructive surgeon. The extent of his injuries was severe. His nose, and two cheekbones were broken, his sinuses were torn away, his jaw and teeth had been realigned. His palate was shattered. The doctor at the second hospital also told Michael’s grandmother that he should have had his neck broken from an injury like his. Even though he needed massive surgery the hospital was full and the doctor sent him back home. His surgery was scheduled for eight in the morning. His grandmother Floye prayed over him all night and rebuked any fear, doubt, called for the angels to help her grandson. The next morning the hospital called and told her that the hospital was still full.

That day the temperature was 103 degrees. Michaels face was swelling, he couldn’t breathe, and his condition was getting worse. Family, friends, and her church were all praying over Michael. Michael’s father arrived at 4 in the morning the next day, and immediately took his son to the hospital. He had a five and half hour surgery to reconstruct his face. He was sent to ICU and the surgeon told Floye and Michael’s father that his recovery would take six weeks to three months in the hospital along with plastic surgery. Floye began praying in ICU, and she claimed her rights that Jesus could heal Michael. She prayed that time would be moved forward and that he would have a rapid recovery. One hour later his face was no longer flat and misshapen. The next day he was moved from ICU and he was discharge in three days. Two weeks later when he went back for his two week checkup, the skin on his face had formed new skin and there were no scars. Michael went back to school in the middle of August. In October he was playing basketball with the team. He has completely recovered from his injuries that should have killed him. Time was truly sped up for Michael.

There are many such as these that happen all around us. Keep believing, that Miracles happen, that healing happens, and that we are part of the bigger consciousness. Our lives do make an impact and we are deeply loved by a loving consciousness. We can be a catalyst for change, for the supernatural encounter, and for acts of miraculous intervention.
