So you may have had the disappointing experience of using what
you understand as the Law of Attraction, and not seeing anything
that resembles the result you thought you would enjoy. “This
doesn’t work, this is a scam, and I never get what I want” may
have been your response. And we’ve all been there, looking for a
specific result, having been told how easy it is to get what you
want, and then. . . . . .nothing even close.
And yeah, the way the Law of Attraction is presented by most
books/teachers/celebrities is lacking and only part of the story.
But the truth is that we are always attracting things, people, and
experiences to ourselves because our thoughts and emotions
carry energy and that energy is magnetic, drawing to us whatever
matches the energy we put out into the world. The problem for
most is that what gets attracted isn’t what they want. So how
does that work?
The truth is that so often when we’re not getting what we want,
we are, instead, getting what we truly expect to get. Perhaps you
know what I mean – that time when you told yourself and anyone
else who would listen that this time you were going to make it
happen, make more money, lose the weight, find real love, get a
better job, etc. And your conscious mind really believed it, every
word, but at a deeper level, the level of the subconscious which is
always running the show even though we think we are so very
conscious, there was a quiet little voice, or maybe it was a
tightening in your gut, something that said “That’s bullshit.
You’ve never been able to (fill in the blank with what you want),
and what makes you think it will happen now? You’d better face
the fact that what you have now and who you are now is the best
you’re going to get. This situation will turn out the same way all
your situations turn out, and it’s stupid to hope for something
better. That’s just not the plan for you”. And there’s the
expectation, that what you’ll get is what you’ve always gotten
instead of what you want.
Between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind the
subconscious will always win. When we look for something new,
something better than and way beyond what we’ve had so far,
the subconscious will typically work hard to protect us from the
disappointment and/or danger that it figures may be lurking in
the unknown. “Yeah,” it says as you consider that new thing you
want to try, “your current situation isn’t great, but it’s familiar and
therefore safe. Let’s stick with what we know. . . . .” and, again,
there’s the expectation, that you’re stuck with what you’ve
known in the past and nothing more.
The subconscious only knows what it has known which is why it
focuses on what you’ve already experienced rather than the
unlimited range of things possible for you. The key to opening to
a wide range of new things is to give the subconscious a taste of
what else is possible beyond what it knows from your past. This
can be done in many ways including a visualization you
experience with all your senses (feeling it makes it yours),
affirmations done in a specific way, tiny baby steps that give the
subconscious new information, and many other easy and effective
ways to re-program that most powerful part of your mind. I know
this works because I do this work with my women clients and,
also, with myself.
The only time you’re stuck is when you’re stuck in your head. Is it
time to get unstuck so you can move forward toward better
things?
