Law of Attraction and Manifesting Your Desires

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?

The Law of Attraction. Is it indeed an undisputed fact, or just wishful thinking? A story of my introduction to the concept may help you decide for yourself . . .

Five years ago, I moved to the outskirts of town to get away from all the hustle and bustle of city life. I was tired of traffic, and noise, and annoying neighbors and just wanted to get a place where I could stretch out and decompress at the end of a long day.

Boy did that plan backfire. Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for what I have but I’m certainly no closer to being able to relax than I was before. I’ve got more grass to cut, no maintenance man to fix leaking faucets and I’ve managed to add a dozen more traffic lights to my commute in the morning and every afternoon than I otherwise had before I moved.

Traffic lights. I absolutely hate them. I catch every single red light no matter what the time of day, no matter the volume of traffic or my observation of the posted speed limits: It just does not seem to matter.

I catch every one, and that is not an exaggeration. I also do not just randomly catch the light either, it’s always just as it’s turning red, thus ensuring the absolute maximum wait time possible.

I was at one of these lights a couple of years back, silently cursing the powers that be and I remember asking myself how was it even possible that I caught every single light every single time I steped into my automobile?

The thought occurred to me that perhaps the devil was tempting me, trying to make me stressed and angry and down right insane. How else to explain this freak of nature? You could not simply chalk it up to sheer luck or coincidence, the odds were just to astronomical to even consider it. There had to be an outside force acting upon me and these infuriating lights.

I remember getting into work that morning and opening up an email from a very dear fiend of mine with an urgent request to open the attachment she had sent along on this new theory sweeping the nation. It was a review of the movie The Secret and an encapsulated discussion on the basic theory of the Law of Attraction.

The rest is history I suppose. I saw the movie, read everything I could get my hands on about this “new” idea, and even attended more than half a dozen seminars on the subject, all because of three little words mentioned in that first email.

Like attracts Like.

You see, the power of this idea did not manifest itself in some silly little affirmation idea or in the form of a check out of the blue that I had convinced myself I was already in possession of. No, it came in quite the opposite way actually. Sitting at stop light after stoplight silently cursing the universe and the powers that be as to why they felt the need to bestow this misery upon my tortured soul day in and day out.

It happened because basically, I commanded it to. Simply asking myself why I hit every red light attracted and manifested that thought into the reality of actually hitting everyone.

The universe was even compelled to go so far as moving me further from my job to allow me to receive even more of what my mind was calling out for.

The universe has no idea that these emotions are good or bad, nor does it care. It simply provides you what you ask it for and the way each and everyone of us ask for things is through our daily thoughts and emotions. Combine the two and you are guaranteed to receive it.

Eventually, through controlled and deliberate thinking, I was able to undo a great deal of the damage done and hit fewer and fewer red lights. The ones I still hit, and am okay with now that I know it’s nothing personal and I’m just probably stuck behind someone with my old thought patterns, I take these opportunities to focus on something that I want to happen in my life and really focus my emotions and intent on acquiring it.

Truth be told, I actually look forward to the red lights now for this very reason and the results have been phenomenal, not to mention what the reduced stress level has done for my overall health and happiness.

It does no harm trying this principle and it could change your life. I don’t know why anyone would resist the idea and possibly miss out on the chance to change their entire world for the better.

1. When someone says to you “it’s your fault” and the finger is pointed in your direction with accusation. Look carefully at their hand and you will see the other 4 fingers pointing at the accuser. Relinquishing responsibility and playing the blame game is a common human trait.

This usually happens during a time of psychological pain as the feelings get more uncomfortable, we find taking responsibility difficult and therefore blame someone else. It is often hard for us to understand the pain we cause ourselves.

Your world can take the blame, however it will not help you to awaken to your full potential to know yourself as whole and full of self worth

2. This is the first step in standing back from debilitating dramas, and unnecessary conflict, all of which lowers your vibration and leaves you with outcomes that are often not what you had wished.

3. Responsibility is a 100% commitment. It is a commitment to yourself, to knowing what is creating the dramas and conflict because the truth is the 4 fingers are pointing at the owner and in a certain sense one owner is all owners. And you will want to know yourself as not separate from your creations, knowing how your thinking works for you. You are a creator and you must take responsibility for your creations

4. The law of perception, which is an immutable Universal Law says that the degree to which you value guilt will be the degree to which you defend your world and make attack upon someone else. This is where a conscious choice can be made to always choose for self responsibility, no matter the degree of difficulty felt. Standing quiet within the drama you have created feeling the feelings; owning the thoughts as being about you and not the other person and asking for help/guidance from your higher mind or universal connection

However true knowledge has no choice and no opposite

So what will you choose? What will you choose to create?

5. You can choose to continue with the old dramas, over and over creating the same old insanities that you play out with family friends and colleagues, or to ask what the possibilities are of releasing to new and higher vibration thinking.

6. A new way to think that will release those fear based reactions and let you have an honest and peaceful life by shifting your attention to your higher mind and away from the concerns of the limited or lower mind. This peace, you so deserve is your natural right

7. There are practical things that you can do also.

The first of these may be approached through the daily practice of meditation. I simply cannot emphasize enough the importance and extreme value of meditation on many levels. Many people claim that they have no “time” to meditate, which, in and of itself is both at once ironic and symptomatic of the state most people find themselves in today. Not finding “time” for meditation is like not finding “time” for eating, sleeping and the other necessities of life, while at the same time “finding time” to watch soap operas and other such diversions such things on the TV - it is all a matter of priority, the choices being between peace, harmony and Spiritual evolution on the one hand, and uncertainty, fear and often misery on the other. What I suggest is arising 1 hour earlier each and every day, making it a habit that the Subconscious Mind will urge you to maintain, take a warm bath or shower and then meditate properly for at least 20 minutes. This will set you up for a perfect day, while putting everything, including “time” in to a proper perspective. And I wish you a perfect and wonderful day!

All the Love in the Universe

Margo
