The Law of Attraction is a Natural Law. That means it’s operating all the time whether I ‘believe’ in it or not. Like gravity – it can’t be seen but I can see the results of it at work. I drop something and it falls to the floor and breaks. Not my fault – gravity did it! Similarly, I can’t afford to buy something that I want. Not my fault – the Law of Attraction did it!
Hundreds of books have been written about this law over the years, and I’ve read quite a few of them. In my quest to sort my life out and get more of what I (thought) I wanted.
It took me a while to realise that the thing that was getting in the way of all this lovely abundance hurtling it’s way towards me was in fact the wanting. The more I wanted something the more I was pushing it away. That just didn’t seem fair to me and I still find it confusing at times.
My ‘wantings’ were not enormous, but they were pretty persistent. They included things like wanting more money, carrying less weight, spending more time in nature. And of course, the more time I spent thinking about the things that I wanted or didn’t have, the more I was living in a kind of negative mood or low frequency that acted like a barrier to any great things that might possibly be coming my way.
A tale of realisation
A few years ago I was sitting at the edge of a field near my home in North London, ten minutes’ walk from my house. I was feeling sorry for myself because I wasn’t living in the countryside and didn’t have a visit planned for a couple of months.
It was a beautiful blue-sky day, the field was alive with insects buzzing from one pollen laden wild-flower to the next. The trees at the edge of the field swayed in the warm breeze. At the bottom of the hill a herd of cows were grazing. There was a pond in the distance that I knew would be alive with tadpoles and water nymphs.
This was heavenly. And yet, I was grumpy. Grumpy because I was stuck in my wanting mood. “I want to spend more time in the countryside. If I did I could watch cows grazing and go pond-dipping and lie in the grass and hear the insects and watch the trees as they swayed in the breeze. I can’t do any of that living here in North London. It’s not fair.” Not very heavenly thinking going on there!
Something must have found it’s way past the grumpy fog, maybe the sound of a hoverfly or the smell of a cow pat! Whatever it was, I remember my mood doing one of those instant leaps from grumpy and ‘poor me’ to happy and ‘how lucky am I ?’
My outside world; grass, pond, cows, insects, flowers and trees hadn’t changed at all, and yet I was having a completely different experience of it all. All of the wanting had gone and I felt like one very lucky lady. This really was heavenly.
So, what happened in that field in the countryside of North London?
Here’s the way I see it. What I had been looking for had been there all the time, but I hadn’t seen it because I was in a state of wanting rather than allowing. Once I allowed the sights, sounds and smells to enter my consciousness I had a completely different experience of the world that I was in.
Alignment is a word that makes sense to me. Rather than aligning our mood and thoughts to those things that we don’t have, why not align them to what we do have. It certainly feels a lot nicer and, once we do that, the Universe sees us as receivers of lovely things and so sends us more! It can’t not.
