The Law of Attraction: An Introduction

Lilith
12 August 2009

This week we are going to be talking about the Law of Attraction. I first heard about the Law of Attraction from the DVD The Secret. Some people want to put this movie down – I think that it carries a great message, and brings people into our lives that perhaps we would not have crossed paths with otherwise. Time spent watching this DVD is time well spent! (Note: The Secret is also available in audio and print formats. You can find more information on The Secret here – www.thesecret.tv)

Some of the people that came to my attention through this movie are the Rev. Michael Beckwith (minister and visionary), Jack Canfield (author), Marie Diamond (Feng Shui consultant), Bill Harris (therapist), Lisa Nichols (author), Joe Vitale (metaphysician) and Fred Alan Wolf (quantum physicist).

On The Secret site, Rhonda Byrne (the creative force behind The Secret) shares information on three specific topics: money, relationships and health, as they pertain to the “Secret”. (The “Secret” that everyone is talking about, of course, is the Law of Attraction – what we hold in our thoughts is what we draw into our life.)

On money, from the site: “Money is magnetic energy. You are a magnet, attracting to you all things, via the signal you are emitting through your thoughts and feelings.” To become this money magnet, we are advised to be clear about the amount of money that we want to receive. State it clearly in your mind, and place your intention behind it. Set aside thoughts of what you are now making, and focus on what you would like to receive. Visualize yourself spending money as if the money was already there.

Your words, your thoughts and your actions need to come from the mindset of the wealthy, not from a mindset of lack. Affirm to yourself every day the abundance of money in your life, and how easily it comes to you. Notice wealth and riches wherever you go – and appreciate them. Know that you are deserving of this abundance. From the money coming to you, pay yourself first, and then your creditors. Write out a check to yourself for the amount of money that you would like to have, and place it in your wallet. Visualize yourself placing this check in your bank.


On relationships, from the site: “You can completely transform any relationship, no matter what it’s like right now. Every single relationship that you have is a reflection of how you feel inside about you. You are a magnet attracting to you all things, via the signal you are emitting through your thoughts and feelings. Every relationship that you have, and every interaction with every person, is a reflection of your own thoughts and feelings in that very moment.”

To transform every relationship that you have in your life, start by loving yourself. Make a list of wonderful things about you, and add to it daily. Know that you are perfect as you are – that you are worthy and deserving. Focus on the wonderful things in every person in your life. Leave blame and criticism behind you – as it applies to yourself, and as it applies to others. Set an intention that you will see the best in everything and everyone – and stop yourself when negative thoughts start creeping in. Know that you alone control your happiness, through the choices that you make. Love yourself. Respect yourself.

On health, from the site: “You are a magnet attracting to you all things, via the signal you are emitting through your thoughts and feelings.” In order to open ourselves up and attract the health and wellness that we want, we need to do the following: love ourselves without reservation, release past resentments and disappointments, visualize yourself as being completely well, visualize yourself doing everything that you want to do, without difficulty, do not make illness or disease a topic of conversation, love and appreciate everyone – including yourself, know that you have the power to heal yourself, give thanks for the well being coming to you.

The Law of Attraction is available for all of us to use. All we need to do is to define exactly what it is that we want in our life. Then we have to be willing to accept it! We send the thought out to universe that this is what we want. We act as if whatever we are asking for is already in our life. We visualize our life filled with abundance, prosperity, joy and happiness. We know to our core that we are deserving of all of this. Then … we let go of any attachment to the outcome!

What changes would you like to see in your life? Where would you like to live? What kind of work would you like to be doing? What passions would you follow? Next week we are going to be discussing how to place the Law of Attraction to work in your life.

Each week, we are going to hear from the voice of one of our oracle allies. This week we
are talking to the Shaman Wisdom Cards (by Leita Richesson). The voice that wishes to speak is that of Redwood – associated with the feminine, the direction of north, the planet Mars and the element earth. Redwood asks us to attune ourselves with Mother Earth. Through her roots, we will grow our awareness of the universal experience – of everyone and everything being connected. Above all, we are being asked to face that which is on our path.

Next week we will be talking about implementing the Law of Attraction in our lives. Stay tuned!

May your week be filled with joy and peace.

Best Wishes,
Lilith
