When Law of Attraction Seems Not to Work

Sometimes it seems like you are doing all the "right" things - focusing on what makes you happy, looking for things to appreciate, getting clear about what you want, finding ways to relax and enjoy life, but still things don't seem to be improving in your life. You start to think, "This LOA stuff is a bunch of hooey," and you start sliding back into your old negative habits. But all the while, the Universe was lining things up just the way you wanted them. They were on their way, but you lost faith.

That's when things start shifting back to the way you DIDN'T want them to be. We live in a dimension of time, so we have to be patient. We have to believe in possibilities that have not yet manifested in our experience. We have to wait and hold the positive energy until things begin to shift, and KEEP holding the positive energy for the rest of our lives, until it becomes a habit. THEN Law of Attraction really kicks into high gear. Synchronicity happens right and left. Life just seems to get better and better.

So I always tell my coaching clients, "Keep focusing on what you can admire, appreciate, and enjoy. At first it may seem like nothing is happening, so you have to hang in there for a couple of weeks at least, maybe even a couple of months. Things WILL change for the better, but you have to shift your focus to stay as positive as possible over and over again each day. Right now you are still living what you attracted in the past. That will change the more you change the way you think and feel, but it sometimes takes a little while for the universe to line things up the way you want them. Trust. Believe. Relax. Enjoy."
And I would add "Appreciate, Appreciate, Appreciate."

Manifesting Money Fast

Wow! Money Magic Coaching sure has it's perks. I had a client the other day who wanted to clear some of her money issues. Who doesn't? So I went through my coaching process with her. We did some EFT to clear a few of her limiting beliefs about money and her feeling of deserving. Then we talked about Law of Attraction and how the way we FEEL about money will either open the door to let it in or close it tight to keep it out. All the while I was totally and joyfully focused on helping her get through her issues around money. She had a big smile on her face at the end of our session, and I could tell she was on her way to improving her finances.

Meanwhile, strange things were in the works. I had recently sent in my annual tax payments, and I actually felt pretty good about doing my part to help build roads, support education, and feed hungry children. All the while I was maintaining a very positive feeling about money, my income level, my ability to pay my bills and still have money left over for having fun, and I even started planing a European vacation.

Here's the strange part. I went to my P. O. box today and found a state tax return for MORE than I had paid in taxes! What the heck? And I don't mean the six hundred dollar check that Bush keeps talking about. This was totally unexpected - which just goes to show that even focusing on somebody else's abundance can open your door to receiving. Helping my client to focus on the positive things about money triggered an unexpected influx of money in my own life. Now that's my kind of job!

If you are interested in learning more about how I "pulled myself up by my bootstraps" and shifted out of poverty consciousness, get yourself a copy of my Money Magic! manual. Money was once the biggest source of struggle and anxiety in my life. Now Money is my friend. Thank you Money!

Welcome to Your Magical Life!

My intention for this blog is to Uplift, Inspire, Inform, and Entertain all who choose to participate.

In my survey question I asked what is the most important key to success, but maybe we should start by defining success. As a life coach, I run across many different pictures of success as I talk with clients. It can mean finding a job that "fits." To some people it's all about getting through college. To others it means achieving financial independence. But underlying all the variations on our picture of success, there is one factor that most of us don't even think about very often. It is that sense of fulfillment and inner peace that we hope to attain after we reach our goals.

What if we could have that NOW, even before we get all the external pieces lined up perfectly? You guessed it. We can! In fact, finding that feeling of inner peace and appreciation for what is already in our experience is one of the keys to achieving our goals. Most of the time we have it all backwards. We make ourselves miserable, work really hard, struggle, scrimp, and wear ourselves out trying to reach goals that we think will eventually bring us the peace, joy, and satisfaction that we are missing. In so doing, we actually cut ourselves off from the experience we seek to attain through our striving.

Fortunately, wise teachers have always offered solutions to our dilemma. In modern times, Abraham-Hicks teachings expound on the Law of Attraction, Eckhart Tolle provides insight into the power of living in the moment, and countless others provide us with a smorgasbord of insight about how to find peace and joy. We can read endless books and fill our minds with ideas about how to be happy, but the fact is that no mind will ever be content. It is the job of the mind to sort, categorize, compare, and desire more, but the mind cannot find the peace, joy, and success we really want to experience.

True success is beyond mind. It has nothing to do with how much money you make, or how big your house is, or how many friends you have. It cannot be measured by any external means. Success is that feeling of contentment and fulfillment that comes with knowing that this moment is full of wonder and you are part of that wonder. In order to "get there," you simply have to Be Here.

In the perfection of this moment - this moment - this moment - and on into infinity - there is the peace, bliss, and fulfillment we naturally seek, yet so often miss in our eagerness to find more. When we stop to simply watch the mind jump through its hoops, and feel our breath and our rushing energy, and just observe what is all around us without mental comment, an awareness expands within us that I can only call peace. A joyful awakening takes place, and in that awakening, we find that we are swept into the flow of All That Is, humming in harmony with nature and our deepest life purpose.

There is no greater success. And the amazing thing is that once we find that inner flow and connection with our life purpose, the external pieces of our lives start falling into place, too. Our health improves, we have more energy, more money starts coming in, we find our ideal career, and there is more love in our lives. Dreams start coming true. Life takes on a whole new dimension of joy and appreciation. And, as Abraham says, "the better it gets, the better it gets."
