A Problem with The Law of Attraction

By Saskia Roell

Sometimes it's just plain humorous to see how the Universe gives you precisely what you ask for.

After four years of cleaning our big Victorian house by myself, I wanted a cleaning lady. Would I find someone who matched my expectations?

My past experiences in Holland with cleaning ladies made me believe that even if I found someone, she'd probably have some unacceptable flaws that I couldn't fix. At the same time, I knew that unless I gave up my preconceived idea about this, I'd attract exactly what I believed.

Let me take you back in time so you can see how The Law of Attraction reflects our beliefs without delay.

Looking at the mess one in Holland one morning, I burst out, "I'll find a cleaning lady today." My desire is sincere, and the Universe answers to my request meticulously.

That day, I find a cleaning lady. However, I forget to state that I want a cleaning lady with cleaning qualities. I get what I ask for: a cleaning lady without cleaning qualities. Anita loves her job as a cleaning lady in my house. Of course she does. All of Anita's problems come to the coffee table as she explains why she can't be helped.

She gets a free half-hour of therapy during coffee break (in Holland, you have to sit with your cleaning lady and drink coffee), and she can even bring her noisy child, who's allowed to ride a bike in my living room.

Typically, I clean alongside Anita. But after a while, I begin to hide in my bedroom in order to avoid her erratic energy. I find myself anxiously anticipating Thursday mornings when she and her clamorous child enter our sacred castle.

Anita doesn't last long with us. She cancels five times in succession], and then justifies with a story about her cat jumping into a pan on the stove, and how she burned herself and broke her arm trying to save it. I know it is past time to locate someone else.

This time I ask the Universe to give me a cleaning lady to whom I don't have to give therapy. No kids allowed, either, during cleaning hours. I get what I ask for. Myra follows Anita. She doesn't bring her kid, but she's a pregnant lady from Morocco who's expecting her sixth child.

It's obvious that she isn't the the most spotless cleaning lady out there, but she doesn't want a therapy session over coffee, either. She hardly speaks a word of Dutch. It's convenient and awkward at the same time. Sign language works well between us. We spend a lot of time smiling at each other. I'm happy.

I do almost anything for her convenience, and often yield to her unusual desires. I'm willing to pick her up and drop her off at house because she can't ride a bike with her long robe, and she doesn't own a car. When Myra is seven months' pregnant, she can no longer come to clean. I agree it's time for both of us to move on.

I've been taught my lesson at this point, and I pledge to myself that I will state my intent very clearly the next time I put out my request for a cleaning lady. This time I pray for a combination of no therapy, no talking, and good cleaning skills.

Little did I know that the last two words of my intent would backfire on me. (Why did I ask for no talking?) We should careful what we wish for! Keep reading...

It takes years to get back my courage to resume the search for a new cleaning lady, but after four years of cleaning our big, old Victorian house in the States, I again put out my request to the Universe.

Three days later my prayers are answered, and my life changes when Nina walks into my house. I'm amazed at how good she is. She cleans the house like a fairy with her magic wand. I love her dearly, but Nina doesn't speak English. Even sign language is not in her repertoire. She gets utterly confused if I try. Therefore, the house is cleaned in "her way." And that's okay.

To give you an idea about the accuracy of the Law of Attraction, every Thursday morning (for the first three months) when Nina arrived at 8:00 AM in our home, I welcomed her with "Good morning." She answered back: "Good night." Do I need to say more?

The Next Human: Self Transcendence

By Jason Lincoln Jeffers

As we approach the end of the Mayan Calendar on December 21, 2012, a small percentage of humanity is evolving from an egoic, mind-centered, self-destructive state of suffering into a heart-centered, selfless and creative state of being. Intricately connected to Gaia--our Mother Earth--this burgeoning New Species of humanity will actualize the protective and balancing nature of the feminine divine.

There is no way out of the problems that we are currently face as a species, only a way through. Non-conflict, non-violence, and non-resistance both individually and collectively is what is needed now if we're going to move beyond the incessant wars that pervade our planet and evolve into the Next Human species.

As Albert Einstein said, "We cannot solve problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." It is true that the problems that we're facing today cannot be solved by the brain because this is the same level of thinking from whence they originated. The time has come for us to look to solutions from higher levels of consciousness, higher levels of intelligence. When we learn how to think from the heart, we will naturally manifest cooperation, compassion, and peace for all mankind.

We are currently living in tumultuous times. World peace is no longer an option, a luxury. It is now a necessity if we're going to survive as a species. Global warming, whether man made or not, is upon us. Man continues to spew deadly toxins into the environment, killing the fish, polluting the air, soil, and water, and upsetting the delicate ecosystem of the earth. Natural disasters, domestic violence, disease, famine, poverty, and war continue to plague our beloved Earth.

The next stage of human evolution is upon us. The current human species is ready to evolve. The current human species is ready to evolve. More and more people are becoming Self Realized and knowing that they are Divine. This is what is called "Source Consciousness."

Self Realization is the coming to consciousness that you are the epicenter of all creation, a divine being. When you awaken to this truth, you realize that every One else is also at the center of their own universe. Therefore, this is not an egocentric perspective, but one that is egoless. It is the attunement of your Self with Source Consciousness and is the difference between knowing the path and walking the path to spiritual enlightenment. Anxiety, depression, and stress are replaced with inner peace and tranquility. A mission for helping others becomes your new focus in life.

As you begin to shift our "little me who means nothing to the universe" perspective to the "I am the center of all creation" perspective, your whole life transforms overnight. You begin to understand your relevance, your significance, and your duty to Life. You realize that the universe cannot grow without your input.

The time has come for us to become united as One People of One Planet, and to once again, as a human race, inwardly and outwardly, realize that at our core, we are all One.

The Benefits of Law of Attraction Life Coaching

By Jason Lincoln Jeffers

Because everything in this universe has its own frequency or energy vibration, if we rebel against what already is armed with anger, frustration, or defiance, then we will inevitably be strengthening what we don't want. Conversely, if say "yes" to it unconditionally, then we change the frequency of our response. This allows us to use heart-focused intention to take action through non-resistance or non-reactivity. In this way, our frequency does not empower what we don't want. This subtle exchange of energy is called the Law of Attraction. Summed up, the equation is as follows:

ego-based resistance + reaction = strengthening what is

heart-brain intention + action = creating a new reality

Law of Attraction Life Coaching is designed to educate you and counsel you on the power of this equation and how everything in your reality originated with a thought. You will be coached to change your reality by changing the way you think. You will also learn how to stop rebelling against the present moment by saying things like, "I hate this damn computeror I hate bulliesor I hate being poor." This is because this attitude frequency will only strengthen what is and guarantee a replay of it. The universe observing you "hating something" only recreates you "hating something" because it echoes the frequency that you've already created.

Think of the universe as an "echo-chamber" to your thought waves. These waves of energy are reflected back to you in the same frequency of energy received. The more emotionally charged the thought is (positive or negative), the more powerful the result. In this context, you have actually commanded the universe to recreate the energy of "you hating" whatever the universe brings you. So, naturally, the universe must obey your command. A Law of Attraction Life Coach will help you you realize that you are the one who is always creating "what is." It all stems from a thought.

When you surrender to each moment as it comes to you, you are allowing the present moment to be as it is. It's as if you are saying to life, "I trust you, I respect you, and I honor whatever it is you bring to me in this moment." Law of Attraction Life Coaching will help you realize the importance of loving life unconditionally.

If you want to change what is, by all means do so but without an emotional tether. Accept what is first, then take action. By behaving in this way, there is no increase in blood pressure, no anxiety, no hyperventilating, no dopamine or adrenaline rush, and no harm to your body. You remain calm and at peace. And you are transmuting the energy of the action into a much higher frequency. Law of Attraction Life Coaching will provide you will the tools you'll need to harness the Law of Attraction. Then you'll be exercising free will and heart-brain intention.

When the spiritually enlightened individual enters into a relationship, wholeness will have already been achieved. As a result, the relationship is harmonious, intimate, and joyous. For the co-dependent, however, what is initially perceived as true love frequently turns into dissatisfaction, regret, even hatred. This is because co-dependency is, by its very nature, an unnatural state of being. It is an inner compulsion to be with another person, rather than a choice to be. When you feel as if you have to be with a partner because of a "lacking" to be complete, then the universe can only send you the same frequency of "lacking" in a mate. It's as if the universe says, "Here you are. This is your mirror self." On the other hand, when you become the person you wish to attract first, i.e. someone who is spiritual, non-egoic, self aware, and non-judgmental, then you will naturally attract those same qualities in a mate.

The term "soulmate" is both overused and misused in today's vernacular. Individuals who are non-spiritual or non-soulful are convinced that they are going to find their soulmate if they join an online dating service or follow the guidelines laid out in a particular book. But it doesn't work that way. It begins with becoming soulful first, then attracting a soulful person in the other. A skilled Law of Attraction Life Coach will provide you with the tools, techniques, and psychology you'll need to become the person that you want to attract.

Dream Abundantly

By Nick Bogatin

"You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, 'Why not?'" - George Bernard Shaw

As important as your knowledge and credentials are, there are things far more precious and life giving then those. Imagination and dreams are what drive life even if they are undervalued in society today.

Intellectually comprehending whatever we as individuals can is the cause of limitation on knowledge.

Dreams have no limitations. They tap into everything there ever will be to know and understand. You can think of dreams as windows into a new world without limitation. In this post, we'll explore both types of dreams ... those that occur when you are sleeping and those that occur while awake.

People around the world place different meanings on dreams. Some believe dreams are mere images that cross your mind's eye. Some believe that dreams are divine experiences. Others believe that dreams predict the future. The scientific community believes they are instances of chemical activity and nothing more. The theories about dreams are as endless as dreams themselves.

It is imperative to know which of these you believe.

That is not entirely accurate to ask of you because the fact of the matter is, they are all true. You can believe a dream is whatever you want to believe a dream is.

Perception dictates our entire lives and dreams are a part of it. If your perception (belief) is that dream is a divine vision then all your dreams would be guides in your life whereas if you believed dreams to be just flashes of random images then dreams would simply be a slideshow for your amusement.

There is an inconsistency with confirming one view over another when it comes to your dreams. Simply assuming one is completely right and the other completely wrong leaves a lot of value on the table. If a dream is of divine origination in your belief then you will take heed in those dreams ignoring other parts of your life's indications. On the other hand if dreams are just mere chemical coincidence then you miss the levity from being more open and aware of even the slightest of possibilities.

Understanding a dream to be like a window into a new world leaves us open to receive what benefit we might gain. You are raised in awareness of possibility but ALSO grounded in the fact you can still decide on what actions to take in your life day to day.

If the dream is a glimpse into another world how can we assume there are limitless possibilities?

There is one person we all know who truly demonstrated his understanding of a dream. When he first proclaimed his dream to the world it was truly a vision of world unknown at the time. The fact that his dream is still unfolding today is a testament to how a dream cannot just inspire us individually but people as a whole. That dream was expressed by Dr. Martin Luther King.

Imagine a dream so great that it could affect every person on the planet. A dream that literally has zero proof of viability prior to it being dreamt. To be taken from the dark ages into the light with one individuals passion for realizing the dream he had. Thomas Edison persevered through amazing feats to bring his dream to reality against insurmountable odds.

You may be asking yourself, "Is there a difference between dreaming during your sleep and dreaming while your awake?"

The fundamental difference is dreams that occur while we sleep are totally unfiltered expressions of our subconscious minds. Notice that sleeping dreams are oftentimes, much more vivid, have less of a base in what you believe to be possible, and are often a little more difficult to remember later in detail. This is because these dreams are not filtered by your limiting beliefs, so when we try to recall the dream, we are doing so through our conscious mind. It is our conscious mind that contains our limiting beliefs.

Setting aside our limiting perceptions and beliefs is what typically happens when we find ourselves dreaming while awake. Something comes in our thoughts that we have a deep desire to have or achieve and our mind breaks loose of its conscious limitations. We feel expanded and more aware of what is possible for us. This is typically followed by our conscious mind forcing its way back and we end up asking ourselves, "How in the world could I think that was possible for me?". Any of this ringing a bell for you?

Give your dreams the chance to inspire you in every way. It is only a drain of life to give contemplation to what might happen, why this possibly couldn't work, or really anything negative. Energy in these places is trading your life for that time spent, utterly useless.

Expanding into a life of your dreams that is different from the life you are living will give you great opportunities. These opportunities may likely come in the way of an obstacle to overcome that we refer to as stepping stones. These are the way life gives you the path to living the life of your dreams. Overcoming them is the ONLY way to live that life so be grateful for them. Stay close in heart and mind to the dream you have and even the largest of stepping stones can be overcome.

Action is required to make things happen. Being grateful for the opportunities that come your way whether covered in repulsion, misfortune or cloaked in dire situations know that they are all necessary in order to achieve the dreams you have in mind. See them not as stopping stones but stepping stones and be happy to have them under your feet.

Love has many interpretations and when you are growing far outside your comfort zone you shine a light on how your loved wants aren't. Be aware that when you are striving for your success those around you, who truly do love you, might become the wolf in sheep's clothing. So as to not look upon their own lives they will tear you down and attempt many times at stealing your dream. Be steadfast in your knowing and believe even that is a stepping stone to a greater life.

If you have a choice to let someone take something let it be a "thing" and not your dream. Your dreams are irreplaceable.

Abundance in life is through abundance in your dreams. Thinking small gives you small thoughts. Live to be fuller, more expanded and dream an abundant life for it takes no more effort to dream big than it does to dream small.

Do these things ... and your life will be greater than your wildest imagination could have ever conceived.

The Good Effects of Positive Attitude to Your Life

By Michael Plumstead

Do you believe in the saying "Reap what you sow"? This is true with having a positive mental attitude.

Positive attitude is not something you can buy or ask from someone to give it to you on a silver platter. It is an attitude that you can learn to have if you really want to.

It doesn't offer solutions but it helps greatly in preparing your mind to find solutions. This attitude is a learned attitude; you cannot fake it or force it.

Life is about making choices. If you choose to be happy then you will be happy. It has its ups and downs but it is then up to you if you choose to feel negatively about things.

Here is how you can develop it; We are rational beings; we were created superior from all the other living things in the world. Therefore we have the ability to think and reason, come up with resolutions to our problems.

Picture in your mind how you want things to happen and do the things you need to do to make it happen. I don't see any reason why you can't succeed. If you let fear of losing rule your mind then you are bound to fail.

You can never have a clear view of things around you and be positive if your mind is full of worries and anxieties. Adopt positive attitude, dream big and make plans. Start the day right by setting the right mood for the day. Condition your mind that what will be ahead for you the whole day are things that will make you happy. Look and feel good inside and out.

Read inspirational books or funny stories that will set your mood right. You would want to do this first thing in the morning to set the mood right for the rest of the day.

Stay focused. Always remember that you are your own boss when it comes to your life. Do not be so melodramatic about all the misfortunes coming your way; instead face them with determination and say, "I can if I think I can".

A positive mind foresees good health, joy, success and peace of mind. Whatever a positive mind expects happens. Be in control of your life. If you can control your attitude, so does your dispositions and eventually your life.

Life is a constant battle, a battle between you and trials in life. It is just a matter of being constantly armed with strong faith and patience. This will allow the brain to think clearly to arrive with better solutions for a better life.

Nobody said life will sail smoothly all the time, life isn't normal if there are no trials that will rock our boat of life. Just remember that complaining will not make it better, planning will, with a positive attitude that you can do it.

Methods Of Using The Law Of Attraction

By Aubrey Chen

To use the law of attraction in the right manner, first embrace positive thinking. We live in a world that can have a tendency to focus on the negatives and make us worry all the time and this makes it difficult to be positive. Your energies must be properly focused upon getting all you want. When the right steps are then taken the universe rewards you in a host of ways.

This is a principle which has been with us for many years and has had the right effect for people who have managed to reach the pinnacle of success in their work and personal lives. Those who have that level of success are aware of what lies behind it and have managed to succeed following a law which anyone can master. Try to approach this without cynicism. If you are doubtful in nature this cannot work for you.

The basic principle which is the basis centres around taking a positive attitude. This is one of the necessary requirements which must be embraced. There is little time for us in this life to question everything and take a negative stance. Being faithful and positive are prerequisites for this to be a success and to benefit you long term.

Affirm what you want by using it to make improvements can be effective in numerous ways. Write down some statements in a journal or on a piece of paper. You can also repeat them aloud in front of your mirror. This ensures the idea becomes concrete. The more you go over it the greater the likelihood of having good fortune. This will draw it or attract it to you.

It's important to find the right ways to express intentions. Try keeping a journal and repeat positive affirmations in front of a mirror. Interactions with different people is nothing to be afraid of. Let them know what is required by you and express this clearly in order to witness changes occurring.

Ask yourself what you really want in my life before you embrace these techniques. If you do not believe that personal wealth will bring you happiness, for example, then don't ask for it on a whim as things won't work out long term.

You deserve the best from life and can get it if you use positive energy to your advantage so that you get the most from your actions. It helps to always maintain a character that is straightforward and honest.

Details About The Law Of Attraction

By Aubrey Chen

The law of attraction is something you can use to make your life better. In making that choice you will see things improve almost immediately. It can be applied to personal wealth, family matters or even emotions and matter of the heart. That is how much of a positive influence it can prove to have on your life.

This is because it is an age old principle which has proven effective for many people who have managed to reach positions of great wealth and power. Those who have achieved their goals know the secret to success and by following a basic law this is a possibility for you as well. Do not be cynical about the possibilities. If you are the sort of person who doubts everything this will not work for you.

The law of attraction means that you have to let the universe know what you want and send out this positivity and enthusiasm in order for it to happen. This means that success will be drawn to you because it knows your true intentions and sees you are striving towards a goal. This is something you may have experienced before but haven't really thought about but it's definitely something which needs to be carefully considered as you work towards success.

Put out what you want to get back. It sounds basic but it really can have an incredible impact on your chances of succeeding where otherwise you would have failed. You can do this by creating a mental picture of your ideal circumstances or by writing down positive affirmations in a journal. Find some way for them to expressed. Choose something that you enjoy doing to create the right sort of mood needed to facilitate the sort of changes you want for your life.

To ensure this is effective it is important to analyse your intentions. It's not good enough to simply want more money and success. You have to be goal oriented in order for this approach to really be of value to you and the people around you.

Before embracing these techniques it will help if you really analyse what it is your heart truly desires. For example personal wealth does not make everyone happy so don't wish for it on a whim as this will have no effect in the long term.

It is about getting what you deserve using positive energy and thinking and to get the most out of this it will help if you are honest and forthright in how you communicate.
