A friend sent me this great quote from Abraham-Hicks.  It’s a nice complement to my recent posts.  Enjoy!

“It doesn’t matter what anybody else is doing with their vibration, it only matters what you are doing.  You cannot desire something - and notice that it isn’t coming - without offering two contradictory vibrations that won’t let it come.”

Many people claim to be using the Law of Attraction properly.  They say they spend all their time thinking positively about their desire and visualizing it so vividly that they can taste it.  But after a couple of weeks without their desire appearing, they begin complaining that the Law of Attraction doesn’t work.  They talk about how it works for everyone but them.  They claim the Law of Attraction is a scam.  They rant and they rave…the whole time asking, “Why isn’t the Law of Attraction working for me?”

The thing is, if they really understood the Law of Attraction, they wouldn’t be doing this.  They would understand that it can take time for things to manifest.  Just as you don’t plant a seed and then dig it up every day to see if it is growing, you don’t ask for something and then look around every day to see if it’s here yet.  You plant your seed and allow it to grow.  You trust that it will happen.

You see, the people complaining about the Law of Attraction allow their impatience to get in their way.  They are so attached to their desire, they don’t step back, take a breath, and look at what is going on around them.  All they see is what they want to see - their desire not appearing.

Yes, they want to see their desire not appearing.  Why?  Often a part of them, even if it’s subconscious, doesn’t want their desire.  They might be afraid of what would happen if it actually did appear.  They might want to be unhappy.  They might simply want to prove to themselves that the Law of Attraction doesn’t work.

And so, they never fully accept the Law of Attraction.  They might try to work with the Law of Attraction, going through the motions.  Usually stopping after a couple of weeks, maybe a month.  They allow the negative thoughts and patterns to creep in.  They give up.  They never really intend to manifest their desire. 

The Law of Attraction is a Universal Law and you can’t fool the Universe.  If you expect the Law of Attraction to fail, it will fail.  If a part of you doesn’t want to attract your desire, you won’t.  If you want to give up, the Universe will let you. 

Just remember that the more you complain about the Law of Attraction, the more you will find to complain about.  If you truly intend to attract your desire, you won’t complain.  No matter how long it takes for your desire to manifest, you’ll be okay with it -it will be just the right amount of time.  And you will do whatever it takes for you to manifest your desire.

Last week Abraham gave a wonderful presentation on the “Law of Attraction” in Los Angeles.  So many topics were covered - asking, resistance, feelings, and more.  Abraham-Hicks has posted a video of the presentation on their website for free.  You can watch it at www.abraham-hicks.com/YouTubeLOA.php.

Yesterday, Oprah aired a show on the Law of Attraction. While the show Oprah aired last year on the Law of Attraction focused on the movie, “The Secret,” this show went further and incorporated some of the theory behind how the Law of Attraction works and some of the other elements involved in manifesting, such as detachment. I think this was wonderful since it takes more than the Law of Attraction to manifest your desires.

Oprah’s guests were Louise Hay (“You Can Heal Your Life”), Martha Beck (“Finding Your Own North Star: Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live” and “Steering by Starlight: Find Your Right Life, No Matter What!”), and Cheryl Richardson (“The Unmistakable Touch of Grace: How to Recognize and Respond to the Spiritual Signposts in Your Life”).

I believe some important points were made during the show that are often missed by those new to the Law of Attraction and easily overlooked/forgotten by those who have been studying it for quite some time. They include:

• “…we are each responsible for the quality of our lives.” – Oprah
• “If you change your thinking, you can change your life.” - Lousie Hay
• The Law of Attraction isn’t just about attracting things. You should use it to improve the quality of your lives. – Louise Hay
• “Anything you complain about is something you have an unconscious desire to produce.” – Gary Hendricks in “You Can Heal Your Life, the movie”
• When you can look in the mirror every day and tell yourself, “I love you,” your life will change. – Louise Hay
• Vision boards and lists work because they give “people an excuse to sit down and think about their lives.” – Cheryl Richardson
• “If you don’t need anything, everything comes to you.” – Martha Beck
• You need to forgive. You need to get rid of all the bitterness. – Louise Hay
• Forgiveness is letting go, separating yourself from the experience, and not keeping yourself tied to the past. – general discussion
• When you want something too much, you haven’t released it. Want it. Imagine it coming, then drop it. – Martha Beck
• Ask and then surrender – Oprah

In March, Oprah and Eckhart Tolle will be conducting an online course on the Law of Attraction. You can sign up for it at www.oprah.com/anewearth. The course is meant to be taken after reading Eckhart Tolle’s book, “A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose”.

On February 6, Oprah will air a follow-up to her show on “The Secret.”  This latest show will cover both the Law of Attraction and Louise Hay’s new movie, “You Can Heal Your Life.”  The show is scheduled to be taped on February 4, so I’m sure more information about it will come out after the taping.

There has been a lot of hype about the Law of Attraction over the past year. It all began with the movie, “The Secret”. The movie led people to attend seminars and purchase products from the people who appeared in the film. It caused authors like Abraham-Hicks to become a household name. In the end, many people began to believe that the key to getting anything you desire is to simply think a certain thought and *poof* it’ll suddenly appear.

But it doesn’t work that way. There’s a lot more to manifesting than just the Law of Attraction.

A lot of people are learning this the hard way. They’ve put a lot of hope and effort into thinking the “right” thoughts. They say they’ve been correctly applying the Law of Attraction, but they just aren’t attracting their desires. Some of them continue to do the same things they’ve been doing, refusing to stop after months, sometimes even years. Others give up after a few hours and are convinced the Law of Attraction is just a scam.

I wrote a previous article titled How Long Does It Take For The Law of Attraction To Work? which covers some of the problems people have had when applying the Law of Attraction. But now I want to discuss the mistake made most often. It’s a mistake common to people just beginning their study of the Law of Attraction, as well as to people who have spent years studying not just the Law of Attraction, but all of the laws that come into play when manifesting a desire.

And the most common mistake is… energy. When people ask for their desire (regardless of whether it’s by writing it down, focusing thoughts, or what not), they fail to include the energy necessary to manifest their desire. Energy is essential.

It doesn’t matter how great your affirmation is, how well you can visualize something happening, or even how many minutes a day you devote to attracting your desire. If the energy isn’t there, nothing will happen.

So what is the energy that you need?

It’s enthusiasm. You need to look at the world around you, excitedly expecting your desire to appear at any moment, because you know it’s already there…you can feel it coming to you.

A good example of how to do this is children. Think of what children do when they want something. They ask for it repeatedly, they describe everything about it, they can barely sit still, and they drive everyone crazy over it. However, they usually get what they want. If they don’t, it’s because they give up. But, if you really look at children when they want something, you’ll notice that their whole energy changes. They become full of hope and happiness. You can see them imagining what it would be like to get what they want as if it was already theirs. They don’t think about how something will happen or why it can’t happen. They never even think about whether or not it is possible for something to happen. They just expect it to happen and are filled with enthusiasm the whole time. For them, it is the most exciting thing in their lives.

But something changes with adults. Desires are no longer the most exciting things. If you have a list of things you would like to manifest, but you’re more excited about sleeping in on Saturday… well, sleeping in on Saturday is all you will manifest.

But when you can find the desire that you’re so enthusiastic about that you can’t stop talking about it, then you’ll have a desire with enough energy to manifest. The stronger your enthusiasm, the faster it will manifest.

What did you ask for when you woke up this morning?

1. Give up

The Law of Attraction isn’t about resigning yourself to not having what you want.

Yes, you have to be willing to detach yourself from the outcome, but detachment isn’t about giving up.  It is about being okay with not getting what you want.  Those are two very different things.

When you say, “I really, really want this, but I’m going to let it go.  I’m going to be okay with never having it,” but you feel nervous or scared at the thought of not having it, you’re not letting it go and you’re not going to attract what you want.

You have 3 choices: 1) You can be detached from your desire and allow it to manifest in your life.  2) You can remain attached to it and prevent it from coming to you.  3) You can give up and resign yourself to never having what you want.

2. Ask for more than you’re ready to receive

If you want to attract a million dollars, that’s fabulous.  You can do it.  However, if you are currently struggling to live paycheck-to-paycheck, then your current lifestyle might make it difficult for you to attract a million dollars.

When you have trouble finding the money to pay you bills or you can’t afford a simple meal at a restaurant, then it can be hard to allow a million dollars into your life.

In addition to asking for the million dollars, you should also ask for what you need right now.  As you begin to receive more of the things you need right now, it will become easier to allow a million dollars to come to you.

3. Tell everyone how bad things are for you

When you tell a story of how bad things are in your life, you’re attracting more of these bad things.  You’re not allowing your life to change, but instead are continuing to envision things as bad.  Let your story become your past and allow the future you desire to become your present.

4. Avoid people who are happy and successful

We tend to associate with people who are like us.  If we are unhappy and dissatisfied with out lives, we tend to spend our time with people who are also unhappy and dissatisfied.  If we are happy and loving our lives, we associate with people who are happy and living great lives.

When you surround yourself with people who are happy and successful, it becomes easier to see yourself as happy and successful.  You begin to take on their energy and happiness and success start flowing to you.

5. Be lazy

If you want to win the lottery, you have to buy a lottery ticket.  You can’t sit at home, waiting for a ticket to come floating through your door on a windy day.  It could happen.  But your chances of getting what you want are much higher if you do something about it.

Whatever you want, don’t sit at home on your couch.  Go after your dreams.  Follow your inspirations.  Pay attention to the signs the Universe gives you.  Just do something.

Now, some of you may be wondering about the title of this post.  I have a website relating to manifesting…shouldn’t the Law of Attraction be working for me?

It is.  All the time in fact.

What I’m referring to are the number of times I am posed this question on a daily basis.  It seems like people are constantly thinking there’s something wrong with them…there’s something wrong with what they’re doing…there’s something wrong with the Law of Attraction.

Whatever it is - they think the Law of Attraction isn’t working for them.

They want instant results.  They might be willing to wait a day to get what they want.  Maybe they can stretch it to a week.  But what they really want is to attract their desires RIGHT NOW.

They ignore the signs that they are attracting what they want.

They don’t follow through on any actions that they’re suddenly inspired to take.

They don’t let go of their desire - choosing instead to obsess over the idea that it isn’t here right now.

The Law of Attraction isn’t McDonald’s.  You can’t drive your car up to the menu, place your order, and drive around to the window and pick it up.

The Law of Attraction takes time.

Yes, you can think about someone and have them call in a few hours.

Yes, you can think about an apple and have someone bring you a bushel of apples that evening.

Yes, you can even think about how nice it would be to speak to a recruiter about a new job and have one call you the next day.

But, as you can see with each of these examples, these aren’t things that you constantly obsess over, looking around, trying to figure out why they haven’t appeared yet.  When you think about someone, you usually forget about them until they do call.  When you think about an apple, the thought usually passes through your mind within a few seconds.  When you think about speaking to a recruiter, you might put it on your to-do list, but you let it go as soon as you do so.

But when it comes to something people really want, they usually have trouble letting go.  They want it to appear and they want it right now.  They keep looking around, thinking that it hasn’t shown up yet.  And each time they think that, they simple manifest more of it not showing up.

The Law of Attraction is working - all the time, for everyone. 

Even you. 

The question is: are you letting it bring you what you want?
