The 7 laws of attraction: The law of paradoxical intent.

Filed Under (7 laws of attraction, law of attraction) by admin on 02-08-2008

This is the fifth article in the series of the 7 laws of attraction. The splitting up of the law of attraction in 7 parts allows us to better understand the workings of the law. Each of them details an aspect that we should take into consideration.

Today we continue with:

The law of paradoxical intent.

I think this law is the one that is used most often unintentionally by people who do not know anything about the law of attraction, and it often makes them miserable.

The law of attraction states that we attract whatever we put our concentration on. But what if what we concentrate upon is negative? Well, we still will attract it.

Let’s give an example: For years, I have been ill very often. And I have been looking for solutions in order to not be ill any more. And in this my mistake was embedded. I did not want to get ill, and so I concentrated on illnesses and … yes, got ill. But recently, I started concentrating on radiant health. On being in good shape and now I am much less ill.

Off course, its not perfect. Yet. But as I get more and more healthy, I get to be more and more confident in my abilities, and so I am more and more healthy.

Why is it not perfect?

Well, the real reason is that most people, including myself, are filled with negative thoughts, sometimes also described as limiting beliefs. To use the example of my health again: I used my weak health to avoid some responsibilities that I am afraid of. So I got ill to not have to take them up. After a while, this becomes annoying, and I started to hate falling ill. Now off course, I still have the habit of falling ill in order to avoid some responsibilities. And then I start to tell myself how inconvenient it would be to fall ill just now. And so I get more ill.

But once I recognize the pattern, I can break it. I tell to myself: “ok, if I fall ill, it will be like that. I will perform to the best of my abilities and see what happens”. In 90% of the cases, this is enough to dissipate the upcoming illness. Really wonderful.

Breaking patterns.

To break patterns, we first need to recognize them. To this end, a study of oneself is really needed. I do not believe one can get successful at the law of attraction without studying oneself. There are lots of methods on the market (like the sedona method) and I really believe most of them work.

But what they all have as a fundament is mindfulness. The constant observation of oneself. They do not always call it like that or say it with so many words, but it is actually implied. To learn more about this topic, see my post on mindfulness exercises and the motivaider.

Be well. Be rich. Be great.

The 7 laws of attraction: The law of pure desire

Filed Under (7 laws of attraction, Uncategorized, law of attraction) by admin on 10-05-2008

This is the fourth article in the series of the 7 laws of attraction. The splitting up of the law of attraction in 7 parts allows us to better understand the workings of the law. Each of them details an aspect that we should take into consideration.

Today we continue with:

The law of pure desire.

This law is actually know through the literature in different forms. In “The sedona method” for instance, it is called Hootlessness. In Buddhist terms, it would be “non attachment”.
What both want to emphasize is that although we work towards goals, we cannot be ruled by these goals. Said differently, we should not identify ourselves with the outcome. If we do such a thing, we will start fearing a negative outcome, and this will impede success.
Detachment, Hootlesness, or pure desire is a fundamental concept.
The problem is that too many people rely on external objects, situations, or persons for their own self image and happiness. But as we have no direct control over these circumstances (the law of attraction is an indirect and slow way) we risk very much to get hurt. Because no matter how hard we try, we will always fall short in some situation or disappoint some people we care about.
The solution is to not identify with the external world and to stop all negative thoughts and emotions.

How is that done?

Simply through various mindfulness exercises. Through sets of exercises, we watch every emotion and thought pass by as a spectator and decide to act on it or not. We discard negative one (we let them go) and we keep the positive ones. That’s all there is to it.
But as with all simple practices, it is very difficult to carry them out in real life. But my experience tells me that with enough practice, we CAN do it and that it makes life a whole lot more pleasurable. Unfortunately, describing them is out of the scope of this article. I have some posts on the subject, but I intend to do a series on them also.

Be Well. Be rich. Be great.

The 7 laws of attraction: The law of manifestation

Filed Under (7 laws of attraction, law of attraction) by admin on 18-04-2008

This is the third article in the series of the 7 laws of attraction. The splitting up of the law of attraction in 7 parts allows us to better understand the workings of the law. Each of them details an aspect that we should take into consideration.

Today we continue with:

The law of manifestation.

This law actually goes a step further than the law of Magnetism. It not only states that you will attract whatever your mood or vibration is, but it allows you to consciously choose what you will bring into manifestation.
This could range from money to a new lover of a better job, or even parking spot.
I would indeed refer like to refer to my posts on getting a parking spot. In this I told you that I am now able to attract a parking spot almost without fail, whereas before, I was equally able to make sure I did not get a parking spot, just because that was exactly what I was attracting.
On this blog, and others, I am trying to attract readers, and so far, I have seen steady increase of my readership base over the last months. I agree that growth could happen faster, but one should never forget to be thankful for whatever we get. Patience is a virtue!

What does one need to do in order to manifest things in ones life?

Visualize them!

See yourself in possession of whatever it is that you want to attract. Be it money, a new lover, or even good health. In this last case, just visualize yourself as perfectly healthy.
Want to loose weight? Visualize yourself with your perfect weight (b.t.w. I tried this myself, and it works wonders. I admit I only had to loose 5kg, but I never got around doing it, until the very day I decided I would get to my perfect weight).

One thing that should be kept in my is that all the 7 laws of attraction work together. So this law also works together with the law of magnetism. If you vibrate at a high level (be happy and grateful for what you manifest) you will attract it much faster. If you complain about not getting what you want soon enough, the manifestation will be delayed.

Be well. Be rich. Be great.
