Part 1 of 2
You've written down your wish list, you know what you want and what date you want it by, and you've patiently been waiting for the "stuff" to fall into your lap. So where is it? What's the missing piece, and why hasn't it come to you yet? According to the popular philosophy of the Law of Attraction, you haven't yet allowed it into your life. How do you allow it into your life? You relax, feel more joy, appreciate what you have and choose positive thoughts instead of dwelling on fear or scarcity. This raises your vibration. Your job is to raise your vibration.
How can you possibly focus on joy and appreciation when your life is full of pain, strife, angst or past memories that scare you? You use EFT! We've all done plenty of asking, plenty of telling the universe who and what we want in our lives. The missing piece is that we don't know how to get out of our own way and open the door. Enter EFT.
LAW of ATTRACTION:
The Law of Attraction is ALWAYS working for us. For those of you who've seen The Secret, What the Bleep Do We Know, or been following the Abraham-Hicks work, (just to name a few) you know what the Law of Attraction is --- the popular term to describe why we have what we have or experience in our lives. It means "like attracts like" no matter what. If you vibrate in fear, you will be delivered more experiences that cause fear. If you vibrate in a joyful place, you will bump into more experiences that bring you joy. Pretend your thoughts and vibrations are like slow moving boomerangs…they always come back to you.
RAISING YOUR VIBRATION:
The theory of this metaphysical "Law" of the Universe states that whatever we are feeling or vibrating (not what we are saying) is what is communicating our energetic "position" or posture to the Universe. The Universe then "hears" this vibration we are emitting, and then matches it by returning to us similar experiences to produce more of the same feeling and vibration. (This is why I have been obsessed with using the Gratitude List and Gratitude Walk that I talk about in my book. When I use these tools along with EFT, I immediately improve my vibration which in turn magnetizes into my life the desires I have been focused on.)
Many people misinterpret the principles behind the Law of Attraction, and think they can "fool" the Universe by pretending that they are joyful. This is not possible, as the Universe reads your vibration, not what you say or do.
The key points of this article are:
(1) The Law of Attraction is always operating
(2) The Universe "hears" your vibration/energy, not your words
(3) Knowing about this Law allows you to have more power in your life and feel/ be less of a victim
(4) You DO have control over your vibration if you make choices about your thoughts and focus
(5) EFT is one of the fastest and easiest ways to change your vibration
So when you use EFT to release any negativity and conflict in your energy system, you will naturally be vibrating in a more positive, uplifting space. Then the LAW of ATTRACTION, which is always working, will bring you more of the positive things that you have been asking for. It's a perfect match.
Think about all the pieces of EFT --- (1) choosing a specific problem, (2) affirming that you deeply and completely love and accept yourself no matter what, and (3) tapping on the points in your energy system and relieving the stress, tension, and conflict that has been stored there. What a wonderful way to raise your vibration!
What do you want to attract in your life? Professional success, money, love, friendships, joy, peace, spiritual depth, happiness? It's all available, but you need to know how to control your "vibration" which is in direct communication with the Universe. We need to use the Law of Attraction to our advantage since it's working 24 hours a day for us anyway.
In his recently released serious diseases DVD series, Gary Craig described how the hurtful or traumatic events in our lives drain and reduce the effectiveness of our immune system over time. This makes perfect common sense. When we have negative feelings and don't find ways to relieve or express them, we eventually run our immune systems down and we end up in a compromised physiological place. Then we are a favorable "host" for the flu bug or cold virus circulating in our environment. The same is true for our vibration. When we run ourselves down by focusing on negative thoughts, painful experiences, or upsetting what if's, we lower our vibration which the Universe then answers. (Remember the image of a slow moving boomerang…)
RESPONSIBILITY:
Using the theory behind the Law of Attraction is NOT a system of blame! It is an explanation of responsibility and an opportunity to take back control of your life and stop being a victim. We have all attracted negative things into our lives from time to time, some more than others. When people argue, "but I didn't want that bad thing to happen…" you can bet that at some point, and definitely over time, they were inadvertently focusing on negativity, resentment, and probably fear. We all do it, we all attract negative things into our lives, and we are all afraid much of the time...it comes with being human. However, we have many more tools at our disposal now to reduce the fear, transform the powerlessness, and increase our genuine joy. It's an individual decision whether we want to pick up and practice using these tools or not.
PATIENCE:
It is also important to note that the Law of Attraction mechanism is carried out by the Universe in a "big picture way." You don't have a resentful or fearful thought at 10:00 in the morning, and get a flat tire at noon. It's about your overall vibration on particular subjects, your accumulated vibration, and this is something you can change and influence in a very short period of time. So consider being patient, believing that what you want is on its way to you, and work on raising your overall vibration.
Everyone oversimplifies the issue and manages to turn it around again into victimhood. Why did the universe send this to me??? They ask… Because they were pulsing, vibrating, communicating that same level of vibration that was returned to them, on some subtle level in their energy system by focusing on resentment, pain, hurt, anger or feeling powerless. We all do it, we all have done it, and we all will continue to do it in our lives. But now we can choose to do it less, relieve the feelings, take back our power, and harness the incredible power of the Law of Attraction. Remember, this "law" works as often and as predictably as gravity, so it's up to you what targets you want to offer it. The Law of Attraction has perfect aim.
"I wouldn't have asked for the flu" you protest… No, you wouldn't have and neither did I last winter, but I did communicate resistance, tension, fear, and irritation for a long time before I weakened my immune system enough to allow myself to react to the flu bug. In other words, I had to be ready, or a favorable "host" for it. (I also still "expect" to get sick at some point in the winter…another vibration I can work on changing.)
Remember, WE ALL DO IT. If any of you are hearing blame, you are not hearing me and what I am saying in this article. We all use the Law of Attraction in our daily life, why not use it for our benefit, rather than to hurt us or slow our progress down?
GRATITUDE:
If you want more in your life to be grateful for, focus on the appreciation you already feel for what and who you have in your life. Try the gratitude list or gratitude walk I talk about in my newsletters, or my gratitude tapping sequences from other articles. This all you need to attract outrageous success and abundance into your life: (1) Law of Attraction, (2) EFT, and (3) An Attitude of Gratitude.
Try a marathon of gratitude tapping and measure how you feel afterwards, and what tail-enders surface. Start by addressing the genuine mood or feeling state you feel right now, then move into appreciation and gratitude.
Karate chop point: Even though I feel a little down right now, I choose to focus on positive emotions…Even though I don't feel very positive right now, I accept who I am and how I feel…Even though I'm wallowing in self-pity right now, I accept all of me and how I feel.
EYEBROW: I'm always afraid of what might happen
SIDE OF EYE: What if something bad happens to me?
UNDER EYE: I feel the fear in my vibration every day
NOSE: I can feel the fear no matter what I do
CHIN: I don't feel safe unless I'm feeling worried
COLLARBONE: I'm afraid to let go of my fear
UNDER ARM: I don't know how to feel any other way
HEAD: What if I can't let go of my fear?
EYEBROW: I'm always afraid of what might happen
SIDE OF EYE: What if something bad happens to me?
UNDER EYE: I feel the fear in my vibration every day
NOSE: I can feel the fear no matter what I do
CHIN: I don't feel safe unless I'm feeling worried
COLLARBONE: I'm afraid to let go of my fear
UNDER ARM: I don't know how to feel any other way
HEAD: What if I can't let go of my fear?
After you have relieved the sensation of chronic fear in you mind and body with EFT, move towards more positive and appreciative thoughts and statements:
EYEBROW: I love feeling grateful
SIDE OF EYE: I choose to feel good no matter what
UNDER EYE: I feel appreciation for being alive
NOSE: I love who I am and how I feel
CHIN: I'm grateful for my life
COLLARBONE: I appreciate so much in my life
UNDER ARM: I'm grateful for the clarity in my life
HEAD: I love feeling so joyful
EYEBROW: I love feeling good
SIDE OF EYE: I appreciate feeling so grateful
UNDER EYE: I appreciate who I am
NOSE: I love who I am becoming
CHIN: I'm grateful for all my feelings
COLLARBONE: I appreciate the guidance I am getting
UNDER ARM: I'm grateful for who I am
HEAD: I love feeling such joy
