Law of Attraction Myths

Much like the diet and exercise industry, the Law of Attraction market has had its hucksters and charlatans. Many people unfortunately will listen and follow these claims and as a result, they find themselves wondering why they are not manifesting the things that they want.

To really be able to get past this, there are some myths that have to be exposed. I will share a few of the more popular ones:

Law of Attraction is not a real "Law"

The Law of Attraction has never been proven to be a natural law like Newton’s Law of Gravity. This does not mean it does not hold merit. We all know that what goes around comes around, but you can’t prove that by scientific means. If you aren’t convinced, then pick up a textbook that is used at an accredited university and try to find the Law of Attraction. Still, there are many things that aren’t in textbooks. You will find that college professors are somewhat limited in their thinking.

Newton’s Laws can be demonstrated by anyone – drop an object and its acceleration will be exactly as the Law predicts. This does work every time – that’s why it’s a Law. The "Law of Attraction" doesn’t work that way. Having a positive – can do attitude, being confident, believing in yourself and your success is an advantage, having positive thoughts is not the do all and end all. Positive thoughts merely magnetize you into doing and being your best. They also attract others who have a similar makeup allowing you to leverage each others talents. The law of attraction also attracts things that you need in remarkable ways that cannot be understood with a surface analysis.

Abundance

The Law while stating the nature of end and sense of fulfillment refers to abundance. The theory explains the overwhelming feeling of happiness. Yet, the Law is unable to explain the disparities and inequalities in socioeconomic societies. Moreover, the Law aims at abundance, taking into account, there is enough for all and one only has to find his share of prosperity. The theory wants us to believe in a truth which hardly exists.

Quantum Physics

The Law of Attraction states that thoughts are like atoms and carry energy fields. This is not a proven fact in science. Therefore, the reference to quantum physics is unproven. Additionally, many of the ideas put forth attach a magical, mystical explanation which many consider a form of "pseudoscience" which is not scientific truth but is proven by practice. So make of the Law what you will but do try it. The proof is in using it.

The law of attraction can work in your life if you let it. Check out the Law of Attraction and learn more, or just visit http://www.TheRealMikeGriffin.com

I live my life with purpose because I am clear about my future. My faith in my purpose assures me that not all questions need answers. Clarity is not about having all the solutions, but about trusting in a positive outcome no matter what.

I may have to walk through challenging situations, but I am certain of my ability to survive. I have the courage to face any opposition. And I grow more hopeful about the future by focusing on my strengths, rather than my shortcomings.

The talents given to me by my Creator are exactly what I need to fulfill my unique destiny. By learning my own interests and discovering new skills, I uncover pieces of that plan. As I hone my natural abilities, my purpose becomes clearer.

The ultimate use of my talents is to aid me in the role I have in this world. Therefore, by taking time to search my soul and find my passion, I also find my purpose.

I am confident about my decisions. Regardless of the season of life I may find myself in, I continue to believe in myself because I know my purpose. My eyes remain on the big picture even while I labor through the mundane tasks of life.

While there are people who walk along with me, my purpose and future are unique to me. I refrain from trying to be like someone else because I have different abilities. I follow my own path because that road leads me where I need to go.

Today, I choose to take time to discover my interests and passions in order to gain clarity about my future. I embrace my role in life with steadfast faith.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Do I stay focused on my destiny even when circumstances are grim?

2. What are my interests and talents?

3. What can I do with those abilities to touch another person’s life?

How To Use The Law of Attraction And Get Results

By Michael Griffin

What are the steps to using the law of attraction, how can you make it work for you? The steps are simple and quite straightforward yet many people either cannot do them or resist them, not believing that it could be so simple. How about you, can you suspend disbelief enough to give it a chance?

Simply put the law of attraction is rooted in antiquity and in the Bible. Many verses echo it’s principals, for example Phillipians 4:8

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.

You might also want to check out Proverbs 17:22

A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

In scripture after scripture both the old and new testaments echo the law of attraction.

The law of attraction boils down to three simple steps, it is an idea distillation process where the ideas are generated and then refined by writing them down, and finally even further refined or distilled by taking action. In this way the ideas are generated and refined.

Can you see yourself waking up in the life that you absolutely want? Can you see it down to the smallest detail? Can you see thing you do turning out for you, the way you want?

This is actually the first step in the law of attraction, positive imaging, positive expectation that things turn out for you.

This kind of visioning should be done morning and night, about a 10 minute session at each end of the day.

The next step is to write down the ideas that spin off from the visioning. Write them down and if anything is actionable then take action on it. It may be an impression or it may be something concrete to do. In either case do what you can toward it.

The other part of this is to bring it to mind throughout the day. This is not a full visualization but a quick musing over the vision. This keeps it familiar and keeps your mind involved with it throughout the day.

So you put yourself in the picture and see it sensory rich, you see the vivid colors, you feel the textures of the things you put your hands on, you smell the smells, and you immerse yourself in the vision.

See the vision, write it, take action (Habakkuk 2:2). There the law of attraction is simplified. Take it into your life and thinking in that simple form. This is not and need not be complicated. It is a simple thought and a simple process that you need merely take up.

There was a great book written about the law of attraction in 1910 by a man named Wallace Wattles. The book never calls it The Law of Attraction but from the description he gives it is unmistakable that the book is about the law. The book is called "The Science of Getting Rich."

Wattles gives extreme detail on every aspect of the law and makes it real for you. Now, you can get a free audio book version of " The Science of Getting Rich." Just visit http://www.TheRealMikeGriffin.com.

As the Man Thinketh: Serenity

“Self-control is strength; Right Thought is mastery; Calmness is power.”

                                                                                                    ~ James Allen

In 1902, James Allen wrote a small book, As the Man Thinketh and introduced the philosophy that thoughts are the sum of man’s character. His book received great acclaim. Just as the New Thought movement, his book focused on positive thinking as a way to understand the human condition. The connection between the mind and body was phenomenal in regard to his findings and experiments.

In the last section, “Serenity,” Allen discusses the characteristics of an “ideal” man. This is a man who reaches complete wisdom and awareness of self and others. In his words, [serenity] is “the result of long and patient effort in self-control. Its presence is an indication of ripened experience, and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought.”

Throughout his book, Allen discusses the importance of “right thinking.” Man must be in “right thinking” in order to lift his thoughts. Otherwise, he cannot hope to understand himself, others, let alone have any positive effect on his circumstances, aspirations, or reach his vision.

However, calmness is the key to reaching serenity. As Allen explains “As he develops a right understanding, and sees more and more clearly the internal relations of things by the action of cause and effect, he ceases to fuss and fume and worry and grieve, and remains poised, steadfast, serene. This process enables man to evolve and adapt to others needs.

A serene man is a spiritual man. In this way, he is someone who others look to for guidance, assurance, and wisdom. Others will seek his advice for business endeavors because he is amicable and easy to deal with.

Also, Allen compares the serene man to those who have done the opposite with their lives. As he exclaimed, “"How many people we know who sour their lives, who ruin all that is sweet and beautiful by explosive tempers, who destroy their poise of character, and make bad blood!” While there may truth in that statement, many people place somewhere in the middle. A “work-progress.” It is difficult to achieve absolute serenity in one’s lifetime. Though, it is indeed, a noble vision.

Have you tried to apply the Law of Attraction without success? Are you still waiting for your expensive car? Big House? Six-figure income? Fortunately, there is an easy answer as to why you haven’t received your desired wish quite yet.

The Conscious Level

The answer lied is in your negative thinking or limiting beliefs. Essentially, you need to discover what your negative or limiting beliefs are. Limiting beliefs are constant negative thoughts which may be conscious or subconscious. For instance, you may be wishing that you could go back to school; your inner voice may be telling you such things like, “You are too old to go back and you’ll be way too old.” This is false but it is also a limiting belief. If this is your thought process, you will attract the parallel reality and you will not achieve the education you desire. This definitely reinforces your current belief.

The Subconscious Level

Limiting beliefs also is on a subconscious level. When someone sets you up on a blind date, do you get a bad feeling in your stomach? This is an example of a subconscious limiting belief. Beliefs create your realities. They tend to be ‘reinforced.’ You can remove your limiting beliefs by changing the way you think. In turn, this can change your life.

The Law of Attraction is perfectly accurate and therefore if you are not attracting what you are wanting then YOU (not the Universe) have some work to do. That ‘work’ is to clear your limiting beliefs. The good news is this ‘work’ is quite simple.

The Law of Attraction is designed to attract exactly what you want. It is non-judgmental. It hears exactly what you want. So, if you focus on what you want, that is what you will receive. If you are not attracting what you are wanting then you (not the Universe) have some work to do. That work is to remove the limiting beliefs. Here is one method:

Ho’oponopono

Ho’oponopono (hoe-oh-poh-no-poh-no) involves silently saying to yourself the following four short phrases:

"Sorry"
"Thank You"
"I Love You"
"Please Forgive Me"

It’s really that simple. Say those four phrases over and over ten times and notice how you feel. Apply this process any time any negative thought or emotion rises. Next time someone cuts in front of you in line, silently say these phrases ten times. Really feel the emotions behind each phrase.

This process is especially useful on specific negative beliefs. Apologize for having a limiting belief, ask for forgiveness, give thanks that you now control your reality and finally express gratitude for this Universe.

Free Law of Attraction Course to Help You in Living the Law of Attraction

The law of attraction is working all the time. You may not be aware of it and yet it is active in your life, you cannot turn it off. So the question is do you want to direct the law or do you want it running randomly through your life?

What if you could learn to manifest the things and conditions in your life that you want? I don’t mean they pop out of the air, at least not always, but rather you set in motion a series of events that attract these things and conditions to you. It may be that some of the things will just happen and others you may have to work for but rest assured the ‘work’ part will be rewarding and enjoyable. It will pay you dividends all on it’s own.

The law of attraction has been described in many ways but always are the steps,

1. Visualize, make it sensory rich.
2. Collect thoughts and ideas pertaining to the vision.
3. Act.

It’s also important to to detach yourself from the outcome. This doesn’t mean an "I don’t care" attitude but rather a faith attitude. It’s a quiet confidence that your results are forming and coming to you.

To children the steps of the law of attraction are natural: children just do it. They take all three of the steps in that same natural order, they fantasize, they think about and collect ideas about the fantasy, and they act. As adults we’ve lost that natural ability but you’ll find you can easily reconnect because it’s only forgotten and that’s The Secret part about it, claim it now and start living the law of attraction.

The law of attraction is working whether you are working it or not. Learn how to tap it’s power with this free Law of Attraction Course.

The Law of Attraction: 6 Steps to Wealth

The Law of Attraction describes the flow of energy between each person and the universe. Positive thoughts and attitudes draw positive energy from the universe, while negative beliefs vibrate to attract negative results. The Law of Attraction is about unfolding the corporal and spiritual nature that is our reality. We all have varying areas to improve upon depending on the status of our lives. One such area is wealth. Here are 6 steps which you can take to bring more wealth into your life using the law of attraction:

1. Remember that your creation process does not vary in any area of your life. Your beliefs make your experience and wealth creation is no different.

2. Explore your financial issues. What does money mean to you? How do you feel about money? Do you enjoy being rich or does the status concern you? Do you feel relaxed with money? Does money feel strange to you? Explore these questions. All these thoughts are critical to the path to wealth. Create a comprehensive list. Allow your thoughts and feelings to simply flow onto the page.

3. Your goal must be on wealth so your mind will have something to focus on. The law of attraction is about conscious manifestation. You must allow your mind to understand what you want, otherwise you will not receive. Choosing your goal is vital to the law of attraction process.

4. Financial wealth is commonly linked to your thoughts of self-worth and acceptance that you can achieve what you desire in your life. What does your self-worth look like?

5. Making money is the same as any other area in your life as far as the law of attraction goes. The only difference is that you are working with different beliefs so if there is an area that you are happy with, and then examine why you are getting positive results. What is different about that area to the wealth area? If you discover the reason, then channel them over to the areas you want to improve (i.wealth). 

6. Spend 10 minutes every day and focus your attention on the beliefs you want. For example, “I have achieved my financial goal of … Which has come into my life easily as I allow myself to be rich and pleased with money.” Repeating this or other affirmations daily along with allowing your imagination to just wander with thoughts of what such a reality would look like is all you need to do. When the 10 minutes is up, just forget about it, and let ‘reality’ do its thing. Do this for 30 days and you will see change.

When you apply the law of attraction to wealth, the journey is an amazing one because it leads to a sense of freedom that you could not have achieved in such a fantastic and spiritually transformative way. The law of attraction offers you the possibility to expand and empower your desired goals.  

What The Law of Attraction Is Not

By Michael Griffin

I keep reading bad information about the law of attraction in forums. The writers talk about holding wishful magical thoughts and then sitting back and waiting for magic to happen. So they claim this is a fraud, that magic doesn’t happen this way. I would agree that simple wishful thinking this way is a fraud but it is not the law of attraction.

The law of attraction calls on you to visualize your result, draw ideas about achieving it from the visualization, and to act on those ideas, and finally to repeat the loop daily. This is far from just thinking happy magical thoughts of things. I think if you consider this that it is actually a solid plan for achievement in any area.

These writers seem to have missed a key point about the law of attraction and the Science of Getting Rich, action is required. This is very clearly stated in the movie "The Secret" and in the book The Science of Getting Rich.

One of my favorite quotes from The Science of Getting Rich is: "By thought, the thing you want is brought to you; by action you receive it."

By action you receive it, that means doing something not sitting home and thinking happy thoughts. The happy thoughts and the thinking about it using visualization are done to trigger ideas about the action that you need to take to bring the desired result to you.

This process has been used by Denis Waitley to train Olympic athletes, this is something he wrote about in his best seller "The psychology of Winning." Waitley describes the process even though the term "law of attraction" wasn’t in vogue when he wrote the book, still he has all of the steps.

The same is true of the book "The Science of Getting Rich." This book is a treatise on the law of attraction even though the term is not used even once in the entire book. Still the steps are clearly laid out as the loop that was mentioned at the beginning of this article.

Many deride the law of attraction after never having understood it. They grab onto the idea of happy thoughts and wishful thinking and correctly realize that doing just this doesn’t work. However they have failed to see the complete process of the law of attraction, that you spin ideas off of the visualization, then you act on the ideas. Action, action, action is very clearly called for by all responsible teachers of the law.

Do the steps and repeat daily and soon results will follow. This is the law of attraction.
