----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Misperception of Energy I just recently read a specific post on another site that I want to talk about. I've changed it a bit, and won't name the person whose post it is, as the concept is practically universal, and I'd like to address that. Here's the post:
"Enhance your energy. Everything is energy, Money is energy. Big money equals big energy."
I see this type of thought posted everywhere, and felt it was time for me to really get into what this is saying, what it really means, how it effects us and what we need to change in our perceptions and thought to let go of this type of "limited thinking".
Ok, I can hear you now saying "That doesn't sound limited to me" and that's exactly why I'm going to break this down and explain myself here. Just to be clear, the only thing I am going to really dissect, is the last statement. My idea is to bring some clarity to this kind of thinking.
"Everything is energy". Indeed it is. That is a scientifically, physically and spiritually proven fact of this existence. If everyone simply acknowledged and stayed with that concept, then there would be fewer problems. However, we tend to modify simple concepts and make them into things that they are not and they end up being montrosities that we can't deal with, or go beyond.
"Money is energy". Again, spot on. If everything is energy, then indeed that would include money as well. Now here's where it gets sticky. "Big money equals big energy". This is a great example of what I said above about our tendency to modify concepts. I'm going to tell you something now and I want you to hear me when I say this to you. Ready? Here it is:
Energy is energy is energy is energy.
It is what it is. You cannot make the energy bigger or smaller. You can add more of a type of energy to produce bigger results, and you can reduce a type of energy to get smaller results, but the base energy is the same. Always. Let me give you an example. If you take the energy of dynamite, its base energy is what it is. You cannot make its energy bigger. You can, however, create a bigger explosion by adding more of dynamites base energy together. Let's say that if one stick of TNT has a base energy of 10, by adding ten more sticks, you've increased the potential result of the explosion, but you still only have a base energy of 10. Just in this example, 10 times 10 base energy, which will definitely create a bigger bang, but you are not making the base energy bigger.
The same is true with money. If one dollar has a base energy of 1, then a million dollars still only has a base energy of 1 but now it's times 1,000,000. Here's what I'm saying. If you can create one dollar, it doesn't take any more "energy" to create a million dollars. It's the same energy. Exactly the same. We, on the other hand, assign this incredible, mostly inconceivable amount of energy to any large sum of money, especially a million or more, and by doing so, make it near impossible for us to manifest it.
It's us, not the "supposed energy" of the thing that makes it hard for us to give it to ourselves. We are the ones saying "Wow, a million dollars. That's gotta be hard to create." What a load of non-sense. In energy terms, it's no harder than creating a dollar, or heck, even a penny. It's all money energy, whether it's a penny found on the sidewalk or several million dollars won in a lottery. It's exactly the same. The ONLY difference is our perception of it.
Change your money perception Today. Now. This very moment. Think, see and feel how easy it is to manifest a penny or a dollar into your life. I mean really experience it. We've all been given a penny or a dollar, even five dollars and more at some point in our lives. Now close your eyes and remember that time. Remember what it felt like; how you raised your abundance, even with single penny in your hand. Now shift that thinking, seeing, feeling and BELIEVING to a thousand dollars... a hundred thousand dollars... five hundred thousand dollars... a million dollars.
You see? It's easy. Only we ever make it hard. Only we, not the energy, puts limitations on it. It is only ever our fear that keeps us from having what we want. Release that old programming. Let it go and in it's place, put in allowing. Put in permission. Put in forgiveness. Put in love.
Now you can create anything.
In my next post, I'm going to give you a tool that you can use to increase your inner abundance anywhere, at any time, for anything you want.

You can find out more about him and read his other articles at his main site: Tolemac's Metaphysical Blog Article Source: www.NewAgeArticles.com Inner Awareness By: Lynn Claridge We are all pelted with problems. Honestly, it should not even bother or even hinder us to becoming all we ought to be. Aspirations as kids should continue to live within us, even though it would be short-lived or as long as we could hold on to the dream. They say you cannot teach an old dog new tricks… or can you?
If you are like me, there are so many things you want to do with your life and so little time to do it, even going about your normal daily tasks during the day, seems to take forever. Therefore, I would ask you to delve deep inside yourself to find the answer.
Concentrate and take notice of your Inner Awareness
Inner-Awareness, what does it mean? Well, lets us look at each word individually.
“Inner” means inside, within the essence of our being on some spiritual level.
“Awareness” means one's perception of reality from one plane or dimension to another.
Therefore, it could be said that “Inner-Awareness” is an attitude, an understanding of ones inner consciousness. An understanding of how one perceives themselves. A true understanding of how you really feel and why you act in the way you do.
Every person in this world has access to their inner awareness. We all live in a very materialistic world that is run by logic and scientific achievement and discovery. For something to be real, you must perceive it with your physical senses. If you’re inner awareness has not been developed and fine-tuned, then you may find many activities and energies around have no conscious awareness for you, so you will be out of touch with your inner self.
Your goal is to create a balance between the physical senses and the inner senses. There are two energies muscular and feminine. A masculine energy is more aggressive, a logical action to take, which results in a creation of something in the physical world. A feminine energy is a more flowing and spontaneous energy that relates more to the spiritual essence of our being. Inherent within all beings are both energies. When they work together, they create a harmonic balance.
A key element in developing your inner awareness’s is to trust an initial response, answer or insight you receive from yourself. For example, how many times have you had an intuitive insight to do something, which made no logical sense at all?
Most of us at sometime, have let our logical mind talk us out of things and then we could kick ourselves later because we missed an opportunity. If your mind is busy, and you are thinking about all the problems in your life and worrying about tomorrow, you could miss some important information or insights that will help you in life. Another thing you may possibly do is not trust your inner self when making a key decision in your life, but you will trust someone else to make the decision for you.
When you use your inner awareness, you receive guidance through your life, and who knows you best? You do, so why not take notice of it.
To receive inner guidance is to trust in yourself and to be open to the incredible and infinite possibilities of the adventures of life that present themselves to you in your lifetime.
I believe when you are spontaneous, you allow your inner awareness to come out and play, that is when you are truly channeling from within. You can tell when you are around a person in this state because they make you feel happy inside. In today’s society we are taught that it is not proper to be spontaneous, that you should act in a certain way and follow certain rules. I believe this subconscious programming is detrimental to your inner health. I feel you should go with your creative flow and be who you are and not worry if other people accept you or not. No matter how nice you try to be or courteous with others there will always be someone who will be disturbed about who you are, and the way you are behaving. This is not a bad thing in itself, because when you see something in another you do not like, that person is mirroring something inside of you that you wish to change.
So lighten up, try to be yourself. With so much happening around us there seems to be no room for even considering the possibility of a light at the end of the tunnel. We can still see it as something positive without undergoing so much scrutiny. Moreover, if it is a train at the end of the tunnel, take it for a ride, and see what makes the world go round!
If history has taught us one thing, it is the life that we have gone through. There's always the easy way and the right way when it comes to deciding what goes with which shoes, or purse, shirt and whatnot. It doesn't take a genius to see yourself as someone unique, or else we'll all be equally the same in everything we do. Variety brings in very interesting and exciting questions to be experimented with. Have you, or is there something more you want to do? Discontentment in every aspect can be dangerous in large doses, but in small amounts you will be able to see and do stuff you could never imagine doing.
What motivates you? It's an answer you have to find out for yourself. There are so many things that can make everyone happy, but to choose one of the many may be the hardest part. It's not as if you can't have one serving of your favorite food in a buffet and that's it. Just try it piece by piece.
So, what really makes you tick?
You can be just about anything you always wanted to be, but to realize that attaining something that may seem very difficult is already giving up before you even start that journey. Always remember, that understand and believing in your own self-awareness is not just about the physical or philosophical change you have to undergo, but it's something that you really want to believe in and trust.

Self-Evidence of Divine Presence
By: Kajom I have a strong interest in spirituality which is evidenced by the content of my website (see below). I seek to involve myself with all types of information that enlightens me about the things that we don't see but does exist. As a young man, I started my career as an electrician because I was fascinated by the fact that electricity cannot be seen. Although electricity cannot be seen, when you flip a light switch, you see the effect of electricity. Thus, it is self-evident that electricity does exist regardless of what it is called!
Nothing thrills me more than a discussion of the Divine Presence within every one of us which is something that we do not see, but is self-evident to every one of us.
What is self-evident is that we all have thoughts and can never turn off thinking! In other words, the Divine Presence does not allow us to turn our thoughts off because we are an expression of the Divine Presence and must express the Divine Presence through our thinking! Those of every religion and even the so-called atheist and agnostic knows this because it is self-evident to every one of us that we cannot turn off that which causes our thoughts! While you are awake, just try it to see if you can!
Some will say, "I turn off my thinking when I go to sleep." I can't say that one is not thinking when asleep because sometimes one can sleep and know that they are still thinking. I only wish to point out that when we are awake, it is self-evident that we are thinking at the conscious level. And, it is self-evident that when one is awake or asleep, all body functions are operating. The heart beats, we breath, food digests, etc. This is the intelligence of the Divine Presence operating at the subconscious level.
The Divine Presence allows each of us to choose to believe what we want to believe, yet, the self-evidence of the Divine Presence is always with us. The Divine Presence:
• exists whether we believe in It or not.
• operates according Its nature of Love, Peace, Harmony, and All Good.
• does not care what religion, philosophy, or science we believe in.
• does not care what we choose to call It.
• is the cause of thinking and allows us to create with our thoughts.
• allows us to choose what to think and what thoughts to give attention to.
• is the essence of every being although unexplainable and unknowable.
• is All There Is, has all that It ever needs, for everything is within It.
• is the source of all forms, is everywhere, and nothing can be outside of It.
We know that we think and that thoughts exist; yet we never really see thoughts, we see expressions of thoughts. The energy that cause us to think such that we can't refuse its impulse is the Divine Presence that is All-Knowing, All-Power, and All-Presence. It is the Spirit from which all things emanate and is called by many names. It is the cause of all life and intelligence everywhere. We don't see life but we see expressions of life which is the expression of the Divine Presence.
As such, we are spiritual beings with a soul (entire Mind) that expresses through our body and world of affairs. Our physical body is the vehicle through which spirit/soul express. When we recognize that intelligence responds to intelligence, we can direct attention to the spiritual aspect (Divine Presence) of our being and It responds accordingly, for It knows each one of us to be an expression of It.
When we give our attention to the Divine Presence, and study any religion, philosophy, or science, we gain a perspective of the truth that is meant for us. It is the All-Knowing of the Divine Presence within us that enables us to know truth beyond the surface of any knowledge in any religion, philosophy, or science. We can go into the knowing of truth beyond the belief of any religion, philosophy, or science and we can know as much truth as we are ready for.
You can delight in the study of any religion, any philosophy, and any science. You will be able to listen, read, and study anything you desire without fear of being confused. You can be guided in conducting yourself so that you offend no one and not be offended. You will become wiser by embracing the good of all the knowledge that you are exposed to. You will discuss only when appropriate and respect the beliefs of others regardless of what you know and know that you know.
It does not matter if others believe in what you know or not, for you know what you know for yourself from the Divine Presence, just as others can know from the same source. Finally, you will know the difference in what you were taught to believe and what you know from the Divine Presence, for the Divine Presence is now and always teaching to those who are accepting Its guidance. You can look to the Divine Presence in everyone, everything, and all that you do, and experience all the good that the Divine Presence is which includes peace, power, beauty, joy, health, wealth, love, and success.
It is the Divine Presence that can help us to live a better life for greater Health, Wealth, Love, and Success. We can only know this when we give attention to the Divine Presence and test It to experience It for ourselves. Give loving attention to your Divine Presence; send it praise, ask and give thanks for all the good you desire.
You are not asked to believe anything said in this article. There is so much that has been said about the Divine Presence, and even more that can be said. And, should you choose to contemplate what is said, you may come up with greater insight of truth that is personal to you alone. My main point is that we cannot truthfully deny the self-evidence of the Divine Presence unless we can stop our thinking! We can never think nothing!
Remember that the Divine Presence (Spirit) is that part of you that causes you to think such that you cannot turn off thoughts. This is your self-evidence of its existence. You can use meditation to quiet the mind, relax the body, and practice speaking lovingly to the Divine Presence as if you were speaking to an intelligent being. It will respond to you and you will know it. The Divine Presence is behind all that is possible! Learn how to attract all the good you desire!

| A Morning Cup of Om1. Don't put off things that you can do today. It's so easy to find ways to stay busy and fill our days to overflowing until there's no time left to do the things we should do or want to do. The Internet has made this far easier! Time passes by quickly, and before we know it, it's long past time for bed. Make it a habit each day before you sit down at the computer to do at least one thing you SHOULD do. Nothing horrible will happen if you make work or emails wait a bit, and you'll have a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment for having accomplished something you know you should have.
2. Whenever you see an opportunity to do a good deed, jump on it! Whether this is opening a door for someone in a wheelchair, helping an elderly person to load groceries into their car, making a casserole and taking it to a neighbor who's ill, or sending a "just thinking of you" card to a friend or family member you haven't talked to for awhile, do it. It's sad that at times I've offered to help someone out and they look at me with suspicion or even anger. We live in a day and age where it's "every man for himself" and good deeds are incredibly uncommon. Let's bring back the days of common courtesy and kindness. Not only will it make the other person feel good, but you'll walk away feeling downright incredible!
3. Don't be a nag. There's nothing worse than having someone hovering over your shoulder telling you you're doing something wrong, should do it better, or forgot to do it at all. Women are notorious for nagging, but men are guilty too! I have a few Capricorns in my life who seem especially good at this skill. I say live and let live. Nobody is perfect, and people certainly don't need to be reminded of their shortcomings. Instead, choose to focus on yourself and ways to make your life happier. Many times nagging is just a cover up for deeper problems in a relationship, or a way to take the focus off yourself and the reasons why you aren't feeling happy or fulfilled. With my naggers, they mean well. They have the "I'm a mom/dad to the world" syndrome going on. I love and respect their well-meaning reminders and advice, but as an adult it tends to get a bit annoying. We're all on our own path in life; try not to walk on someone else's too much.
4. Unsubscribe to all but your most favorite groups and newsletters. It adds stress to our already busy lives to wake up each morning and see our inbox stuffed full of messages, most of which we don't even care much about. Take a look at the groups and newsletters you're signed up for, if they aren't offering you anything of value, let them go. Unsubscribe to catalogs, magazines, and junk mail you don't read. You'll save some trees while saving your time and energy from having to sift through the stuff and tossing most of it out.
5. Think good thoughts, especially about your past. We've all had some really bad things happen to us. Some worse than others. Refuse to dwell on these negative memories. All it serves is to bring your energy level down, and surround you with an aura that deflects anything good from coming into your life. Whenever a negative thought about the past comes up, replace it with a positive thought that is equally powerful. For instance, say you were abused as a child or in a relationship and a certain event pops into your mind. Instead of giving in to the memory, bring up a happy memory you have and recall it in as much detail as possible. If you have very few happy memories, or find it hard to come up with something when anger or pain strike, make a list of some happier times when you're in a good mood and read it when you're feeling down. You could even write down future events that you hope to experience. If you were in a very bad relationship, write down what you would love in your next relationship. (Be reasonable though because nobody's perfect!) Write down what your future mate will be like and some happy times you'd like to share with him/her. This is also a great way to program your mind and energy field into attracting what you desire most. The past is gone, it's done and over. The only way it can have any effect on you now is if you let it. Those "bad memory" pathways have worn a groove in your mind, so it's much easier to recall them--whether we like it or not. Choose to create "positive memory" pathways and see the difference it makes in your mood, and in your life.

Sleeping involves part of this renewal, and is a process through which the higher vibrations of light are permitted greater access to the physical body because the emotional and mental components of personality that are often limiting factors in the awake state are no longer present while one sleeps. Although dreaming produces mental and emotional content and therefore creates emotional states, the content of these is part of the sleep state itself and not a barrier to the energies that would restore, heal, and rejuvenate.
The quality of sleeping has a great deal to do with the amount of restoration that can take place. Deep sleep produces not only different brainwave patterns, but also permits a greater influx of light energy into the cells and tissues so that toxins can be removed and greater energy can be infused on a cellular level. This does not happen in any kind of conscious way. It happens because of the nature of the human body which has never truly been separated from the higher realms of light, despite one's waking experience. At night, this body rejoins its higher counterparts that are the non-physical energy bodies, and a more seamless union of different aspects of one's being takes place than can normally occur during daytime functioning.
The infusion of light is not the only thing that can occur during sleep, however. It is also possible for a soul to decide to continue their experiences with other realms while they sleep or to receive teachings from Beings with whom they have had an ongoing soul relationship. Such nighttime experiences are not unusual even if not recalled, and many people benefit during the daytime from learning acquired at night which is unknown to them, but which occurs to their conscious mind as insight or inspiration later on. Much of this insight has taken place during the sleep state, when access to one's own higher intelligence as well as to the help and teachings of others, can infuse the mind and the understanding and be held there till such time as the conscious mind can retrieve the information or inspiration.
For those who have sleeping difficulties, there is very often a preceding difficulty that has occurred in relation to connecting with the spiritual realms. Often, something has occurred during previous lifetimes which has created a greater separation between one's embodied self and the higher self and higher energy bodies that exist on other planes. Because of this preceding separation, during the night when one wants to be asleep, it is often difficult to do so because the seamless transmission of energy from one level of being to another cannot smoothly take place. Where this is the case, there may be longstanding problems with sleep and much wonderment about what the cause might be. Often, the cause is not physical but spiritual and energetic, that is, it is related to the perceived separation of physical life from spiritual life and the manifestation of that sense of separation through sleeplessness.
Much healing is possible at night, including healing of sleep disturbances as well. If there is a possibility for one in need of healing to relax, and instead of trying to sleep, rather to try to enter an intermediate 'twilight' zone of being partly asleep and partly awake, it is possible to rest in this state and to gain much of the nourishment from the upper realms that one would normally gain during deeper sleep. Healing of other kinds is also possible, for the relationship with the spiritual realms continues whether one perceives it to be so or not, indeed, whether one seeks it or not, and helpers of all kinds are available when called upon to help address problems, both emotional and physical, that may be troubling during the day.
The capacity to enter a deeper state of sleep is one that needs to be appreciated as part of the extraordinary complexity and beauty of the way the human body has been fashioned, for there is a self-maintaining function built into the body itself which renews itself, heals itself, and restores a sufficient amount of energy after it has been depleted so that the body can remain in a viable state for experiencing life within the physical realm for many years. As more light becomes present on earth and infuses the cellular structure of people's bodies, this capacity for renewal and sustenance will become much more available, and many of the ailments that are currently produced by insufficient energy or insufficient life-force will disappear in the presence of greater light.

We’ve lost ourselves. We’ve lost the truth of who we are as human beings. We’ve turned our power over to negative thought forms and beliefs put into place thousands of years ago. These negative thought forms and beliefs were created with a single purpose in mind—to control our thoughts, actions and behaviors to the benefit of those who would wield power over us.
It is time that we took our power back! It is a social imperative that we all share the responsibility for. Do you truly want to be happy, joyous, abundant and free? Do you want to see peace reign in the world? Do you want to see our dwindling environmental resources begin to replenish and flourish? Do you want to have the power to manifest abundance in your life?
There is a way, as a collective humanity to co-create sustainable abundance in every area of our lives. It requires a Quantum Shift in perspective and a desire and willingness to reframe our beliefs about who we inherently are as human beings. It saddens me greatly when I repeatedly and continuously hear the following from the beautiful, radiantly talented people that cross my path:
· As human beings we are imperfect, flawed and weak
· No pain, no gain
· One cannot transcend or grow without suffering
· I don’t know what it would take for me to be happy. I have everything and I feel confused and alone.
· I feel like I am a prisoner in my own life and I don’t know how to undo it
· If only I had the right woman/man in my life, I’d feel ok
· If only I had money, I’d be free.
· I feel like I’m being punished for who I am
· If only I had a house, I’d be secure.
With great sadness in my heart I write to you to implore you to begin anew. To wipe the slate clean and to create a new Tabla Rosa and imprint upon it that which is truly your birthright and destiny as a human being! You are a bundle of pure divinity. You are a perfect, precious creation of unlimited intelligence, creativity and divine power to be the alchemist mixing and creating precious energies, thoughts, forms and materials into divine material form.
The true disease of our humanity causing the dwindling resources of our environment, increasingly aggressive warring among political and religious factions and early death due to diseases born out of our own behaviors, is our belief that we are flawed, imperfect, and being punished for the sin of being human!
My divine fellows, where, when and why did we decide to buy into the very belief that is causing the deconstruction and destruction of everything that we hold dear in life!
Not until we REMEMBER and EMBRACE the truth of our divinity and LET GO of someone’s self-motivated spin that continues to dominate and control us, will we begin to be free. As we begin to embrace the truth of our wholeness, we will begin to feel the rise of a new era. A rise in health, wealth and well-being in our hearts, homes, communities and the world we live and breathe in.
The spin of “original sin” and human form as broken, flawed and in need of being saved is what perpetuates living from a place of fear. The belief that as human beings we are a stain on the fabric of the world is truly tragic and commits us to a barren future. The belief that only through pain, we rise, is yet another negative thought form which has as its’ goal to behavior modify us into a malleable controllable collective. It keeps us immobilized where institutions can lead us into arenas that only serve their thirst for power, dominance and control. Fear breeds more fear and increased fear in the world gives rise to those who want to capitalize on our fears. They control our minds, actions, behaviors and pocketbooks! Conquer and divide is the dish of the day if we continue to buy into the belief that our greatest strength as a human being is our weakness!
Living from fear allows us to be controlled. It controls what we are able to accomplish in the world. We strive to create security and success from a place of fear and when security and success is built on a foundation of fear, it is at risk of collapse and destruction. The only way to create SUSTAINABLE abundance is through living from a place of our own power and divinity. We must understand that as human beings we ARE PERFECT and we hold the power to the expansion of not only our lives, but the world around us.
When we begin to feel the rightness, beauty and brilliance of who we are, fear begins to slip away and we begin to feel a new surge of the divine running through our hearts, souls, and spirits. We begin to see life through a new lens. Everything comes vibrantly alive and a new energy moves through us giving birth to our own unique creative intelligence. We begin to live in flow and trust and not in fear. We begin to manifest a new reality of our own choosing! An abundant Universe where supply far exceeds demand! Just envision that for a moment. What would the World become having all the supply that we could ever need to meet demand? I know you know the answer. War, famine, disease, ego and fear would become ancient history! Humanity would rise to a new consciousness where abundance would be allowed to expand and flourish and we would become the generation of a new era of enlightenment!
We, the people, ARE the mass consciousness that have the power to create permanent quantum shift for a new tomorrow. Believe it, embrace it and manifest it now!
We’ve also bought into the belief that change is a painful process. When we even think of the word “change” it evokes a feeling of dread and fear. We, again, become immobilized and choose to stay stuck rather than facing the supposedly inevitable trauma of change. This is a belief that we have to shift and let go of in order to become proactive participants in the creation of a new abundant landscape of life.
Change is invigorating, energizing, exciting, and expansive and creates innovation and genius when you are the one instituting and creating the change.
The reason why most of us see change as a threat rather than the opportunity for wealth expansion is because most of us let change happen to us rather than being the proactive person promoting the shift. It is the difference between being the victim of circumstances or the victor of circumstances. Which will you choose going forward? To be the person who allows change to be thrust upon them or the person who creates positive change?
Again, it is a matter of living in faith of yourself as a divine creator and not as a fear-based person who is being manipulated and controlled by those who would seek power over you.
True and right use of power comes from within with a purity of intention to manifest abundance for the greater good of the whole. It starts in your heart, soul and home and trickles out into the world.
As you believe, others believe. As you live your divinity, others will live their divinity. As you radiate the new reality of our divine humanity, others see it, feel it and move into it. You have the power to change your mind, thoughts, beliefs, deeds, actions and reactions. You have the power to manifest a new reality that sustains your existence in the highest, most abundant form imaginable.
Blessings as you go forward into the divine flow your destiny!

This cry of frustration is uttered often by people who are learning to consciously create better lives using the Law of Attraction. After spending weeks trying to raise their vibration, focus their minds and bring forth a better reality, they can't understand why they're not seeing results.
Does this describe you? Have you raised your eyes to the heavens and demanded to know why the Law of Attraction isn't working for you? Or perhaps you've resigned yourself to one of these deadly beliefs:
"It seems to work for other people, but I just can't get it right."
"I must be doomed to failure."
"I knew it wouldn't work, but at least I tried."
"I'm such an idiot; why do I keep getting sucked into these ridiculous schemes?"
"God must really hate me."
Well, wipe those destructive thoughts right out of your mind! Seriously, they won't serve you a bit, though I can understand why you're tempted to believe them - I've been there too!
Here's the good news: the Law of Attraction IS working for you. It works all the time, every time, without exception. If you're not seeing the results you want, the time has come to ask yourself what you're putting out there that is attracting similar energy back into your life.
Before you get angry at me for telling you you're "doing it wrong," please understand that you're probably NOT doing it wrong - but there may be one or two things you're doing that are creating resistance, which slows down your results.
Skim down this list of the most common ways we hinder the Law of Attraction from delivering what we want, and compare them carefully with your own habitual thoughts and feelings:
INDECISION
Do you have a clear vision of exactly what you want? Perhaps you aren't picky, you just want things to be "better" than they are now, whatever that ends up looking like. However, the Universe doesn't want you to settle for "something good," but instead attract EXACTLY what you desire!
What do you desire? Take some time to think about the facets of your life. Think about your job, financial status, relationships, health, body size, vehicle, residence, and more. Are all of these things an accurate reflection of what you would create if you could start over? Make a detailed list of EXACTLY what you want to create for yourself. Write down every tiny aspect you can think of. Then read this list frequently to keep your vision sharp and clear in your mind.
UNWORTHINESS
Do you REALLY believe you deserve the things on your list? What makes you so special that you deserve abundant health, wealth and happiness? That's not a rhetorical question. I'm really asking, what makes you so special? Don't have an answer? How about this: you exist. Someone breathed you into existence and infused you with all these desires, and for what? Why would your desires exist if you weren't meant to experience them?
Until you can understand just how special and unique you truly are, you might resist the abundance and joy the Universe is offering you. Embrace your true worth as a human being and let it be a shining example for all to see. Empower others (and yourself) with the knowledge that they too can create better lives.
DISTRUST
Some of us have a skewed view of the Universe (or God, if that term resonates with you). From an early age, we're taught that we have to comply with certain guidelines and behavioral rules - or else. We see the Universe as some angry force that will deliver a wrath of misery upon us if we do something wrong. It's no surprise that most of us end up feeling like we're walking on eggshells. We actually EXPECT bad things to happen because we've developed such a negative view of the powers that be. We're afraid to ask for what we really want because we might be viewed as greedy, ungrateful or selfish. We're afraid to hope for something better because we might get a lightning bolt up the wazoo.
How about turning this belief around? We can just as easily believe in a loving Universe, one that wants us to do well, be happy, and feel abundant. Rather than approaching the Universe with the mind-set of a scolded child, why not step forward confidently and joyfully and claim ownership of what is already yours? Believe me, the Universe will applaud you for doing so, and reward you beyond your wildest dreams.
DOUBT
Even if you WANT to believe that the Law of Attraction really works, you might be holding back somewhat to protect yourself from disappointment. If you don't give it your "all," you think it won't hurt so badly when it doesn't work out. However, doubt is like a big old rubber doorstop that prevents the gateway of prosperity from opening. You affirm, you visualize, you get clear, and the gate begins to swing inward, creating a crack through which shimmering golden light shines forth. You begin to step forward into your glorious new reality, when "bump!," -- oops, never mind, there's a doorstop there and the gap isn't big enough to let you through. Oh well, better luck next time.
Think of FAITH as the oil that keeps the hinges on the gates of prosperity operating smoothly. If you keep the hinges lubricated and the gates free of any obstructions (doubts) - they will swing right open and you'll be dazzled by what you see on the other side.
DISBELIEF
No matter how badly you want something, if you don't believe it's possible, you will resist it. Perhaps you've set some lofty goals for yourself, things that almost seem too good to be true. Perhaps you want to be a millionaire, but you're currently earning $15,000 per year. Or you want to meet your soulmate, but you long ago convinced yourself that he or she doesn't exist. Turning these negative beliefs around is CRUCIAL to attracting your desires!
For every limiting belief you hold, I want you to take a blank sheet of paper and come up with ten reasons why your desires are POSSIBLE. It's important to make the reasons believable and logical. For example, "It's possible for me to become a millionaire because other people have done it, and some of them started with less than what I have now!" Or, "It's possible that my soulmate exists because I simply haven't met every person on the planet yet. He or she might be searching for me even as I search for him/her!"
Keep repeating these reasons to yourself, until you are absolutely CONVINCED that your desires are indeed possible.
DUALITY
Do your day-to-day thoughts, feelings, and actions paint a very different picture than the affirmations and visualizations you project? Are you affirming your financial prosperity while at the same time worrying about your bills? Both realities CANNOT co-exist in your life. Either you're prosperous, or you're not. Either you're successful, or you're not. Either you're healthy, or you're besieged by aches and pains.
At every possible moment, you need to let go of your old reality - even if it means pretending that the symptoms of lack, struggle, and illness do not exist. At the very beginning, it will be a challenge to do this fully, but if you keep at it day after day, repeatedly turning your attention to thoughts of wellness, abundance, and joy, and focusing less on lack, struggle, and illness, you begin to shift your reality to what you focus on the most.
FEAR
Perhaps you're claiming to want something better, but you also fear it on a deeper level. If you want to be a best-selling author but you fear publicity and fame, guess what happens? You resist the formation of such a reality in your life because it makes you uncomfortable. If you want to be financially abundant but you worry about what others would think of you, resistance is woven throughout your desire for more money. In effect, you're asking for something but also pushing it away at the same time.
One good way to overcome these fears is by facing them on paper. Ask yourself how you would handle people who thought poorly of you for being wealthy. "I'd tell them to mind their own business," might be one response, or "Their opinions of me don't affect my life one way or the other" would work nicely also. If you get clear about your fears, you'll realize that most of them are irrational or irrelevant. Even the ones that hold merit, however, can be worked through and your resistance will dissolve in the light of clarity and purpose.
FORCE
You watched the movie, "The Secret," or read a great book about the Law of Attraction, and now you're all fired up! You're SO DETERMINED to change your life that you proceed full steam ahead. You begin religiously reciting affirmations and performing meditations and visualizations and feeling good at every possible opportunity. After a week or two nothing has happened, so you increase the intensity of your efforts. You start meditating not just for 15 minutes a day, but for two hours a day. Your affirmations become a litany of desperation to make something happen. Still no results, so you work harder, and harder, and HARDER at it - until finally you scream in frustration, utterly exhausted from trying so hard.
Lighten up! I know, that's easier said than done when you're not happy with your current reality. But seriously, the harder you "try," the worse it's going to get. Back off, relax, and just let it happen when it's going to happen. The more relaxed and joyful you can be about the process, the more quickly your desires will come forth.
FRUSTRATION
Speaking of frustration - it's yet another way we hinder the Law of Attraction. When we feel frustrated, we emit an unmistakable signal to the Universe that acts as a beacon to attract more situations to be frustrated about!
Remember the importance of FEELING GOOD! Why is it so important? Because of the signal it puts out to the Universe. The more you feel good, the more you attract situations and experiences that will help you to feel good. I know it's challenging to feel good when things aren't going the way you want, but it's so important to do so anyway! FIND things that make you feel good, and do them as often as possible. It is so, so, SO important! If you have a few moments of frustration here and there, don't sweat it too much, just do what you can to have MORE moments of feeling good than you do of feeling frustration. It will make an incredible difference.
And finally, the Number One way we hinder the Law of Attraction:
IMPATIENCE
Most of the people I hear uttering the weary cry above (Why isn't the Law of Attraction working for me?) haven't been working at it for long. Perhaps a few weeks, maybe even a few months. Believe me, I know the feeling of desperation to get things moving in a more positive direction, but it takes time!
Remember that we're constantly experiencing a RESIDUAL effect of our PAST thoughts, feelings and beliefs. It's unrealistic (though understandable) to want to change it all overnight. But it's not going to happen that quickly most of the time.
Simply do what you can to stay positive and keep up with the activities that will attract something better in the future. Be gentle with yourself, and know that this too shall pass. And in the very near future, when you really begin to see this force shifting the circumstances of your reality before your eyes, WOW - you'll be so glad you stuck with it through the tough spots!

by Andrea Conway, Law of Attraction Marketing Coach www.successfulselfemployment.com
View more articles here In this energy- and attraction-based universe, the Law of Attraction matches us with circumstances, people and events that match our energy. Whether you want more clients or a different kind of client, the key is to amp up your energy for them first. Here are two fast and simple Law of Attraction exercises to do daily. #1 - The "To Feel" List. I first learned this from Abraham-Hicks but haven't heard them mention it in many years. Still, it's one of my absolute favorite Law of Attraction exercises because it's fast and simple. You can do it anytime, but it's most effective first thing in the morning. That's because while we sleep, we re-connect to the part of us that is eternal -- whether you call it your inner being, soul, higher self, etc. When we awaken, we have a 60-90 minute window when we can most easily access our connection to spirit. What it does: It sets your vibrational tone for the day, telling the Law of Attraction what you want. Why it matters: If you jump out of bed and turn on the TV news, get involved in your kids' morning routines or rush to read your email, the world will sweep you back into the spell of worry, doubt and fear. But not if you write your To Feel List first. I recommend you write it first thing. Keep a pad of paper and pen by your bed, and get into the habit of reaching for it as soon as the alarm sounds. (That said, it's better to do this exercise anytime of the day, rather than not do it at all.) How to do it:
a) Write at the top of a piece of paper, "Today I want to feel."
b) Then, without thinking about it too much, just let yourself write whatever comes to you.
c) Read your list over and decide if you want to add to or edit it.
d) You may find yourself writing general statements, such as "I want to feel happy, prosperous, safe, enthusiastic."
e) You can also write specific statements to do with something coming up later in the day. For example: "I want to feel excellent rapport with all my clients during our meetings today." Or: "I want to feel enthusiastic and confident about my work."
g) Don't forget your personal life too: "I want to feel love and appreciation for my partner." "I want to feel inspired to exercise and eat healthy food." Why this is not the same as writing affirmations: The difference has to do with contradiction. When you write "I want to feel peaceful," there's nothing in your mind to contradict that statement. But if you were to write an affirmation, "I feel peaceful," -- and you didn't feel peaceful -- you might trigger mental conflict that leads to resistance. With affirmations, you try to control your mind to produce certain results. The act of trying to control often triggers conflict in our minds. Example: we want to be healthy but we skip exercising. These conflicts cause resistance (which we experience as negative emotion) -- and resistance prevents us from receiving what we want. Resistance is like turning off a light switch. You impede the normal flow of energy, and the light goes off. With the To Feel exercise, you write only about how you want to feel. Not about how you actually feel, not about what you will do, and not about what you want others to feel or do. It's only about you and your statements of how you want to feel. Thus, no conflicts arise, and no resistance is experienced. The energy continues to flow, unimpeded. You're on the right track when: You notice as you finish writing your To Feel list, that you already feel lighter, freer, happier. Mastery Tip: Review your list at the end of the day and make the connection between what you asked for and how your day went. If you do this exercise as instructed for 3-4 days in a row, expect to notice Law of Attraction responding to what you want to feel. Doing this exercise regularly gives you first-hand experience of how the Law of Attraction responds to your desires. #2 - The Heart Light Matrix. Another quick and simple Law of Attraction exercise to amp up your client attraction power. Add this to your morning routine after the To Feel list, or do it any other time of day. Just remember to do it! What it does: Creates a heart-to-heart connection between you and your current, past and future clients. Because everything that exists in the physical world also exists as energy, you can connect with your clients using energy even when they aren't present physically. Why it matters: If you don't see evidence of enough customers for your business right now, it's easy to go into doubt about your offering and fear and worry about your future. Creating a Heart Light Matrix gives you the sense that limitless numbers of customers are available to you. It helps you vibrate with the energy of abundance and confidence, rather than lack and self doubt. Then the Law of Attraction works to match you up with customers who also resonate abundance and confidence. How to do it:
a) Sit quietly. If soft music or other sounds like bells help you focus your attention, play them, but it's not required.
b) Put your attention on your heart chakra in the center of your chest. The chakras, related to the energy meridian system used in acupuncture, are places where energy comes into the physical body. The heart chakra, also known as the 4th chakra, governs the energy of love.
c) Notice the heart chakra area. You may not feel anything, especially at first. But with time, most people report feelings of tingling, warmth, energy moving, waves of energy etc. Don't be concerned if you don't feel anything, just keep your attention on the center of your chest.
d) Imagine a beam of light emerging from your heart chakra and moving out of your chest. You don't have to force the beam, just allow it to naturally emerge.
e) Watch the beam connecting to the heart lights of your past, current and future customers. You don't have to know who they are or where they are or how they will come to you. The heart light beam works by Law of Attraction to find the exact right ones.
f) Continue watching as your heart light beam forms a matrix of heart light with all the others you can serve. There is no limit to the size of our matrix -- allow yourself to open, effortlessly, to hundreds, thousands, millions of connections.
g) When the energy naturally stops expanding, begin to take your heart light back into your heart chakra. Bring it all back in so your energy isn't floating around the universe without you.
h) Choose to believe that the connections you have made are real and that the universe knows exactly how to bring these clients to you in the perfect way and the perfect time. Because it does. You're on the right track when: You feel a sense of peace, expansion, and possibility. Mastery Tip: When you complete the exercise take another moment to bask in the feeling of loving connection. Then move into the next thing in your day. If you notice any thoughts later on such as "Well, where are they," or "When will I see them," remind yourself that "how" and "when" are not your job. How and when are handled by spirit working through the Law of Attraction. With practice you not only enjoy the Heart Light Matrix, you also build your trust in the universe and witness customers responding to your amped up client attraction power.
