THIS Sabotages Your Attraction Success & 5 Solutions

"You are wonderful beings. You are blessed beings. You are deserving of Well-being. Well-being is on its way to you. Chill out and let it in. Play more. Do the Hokey Pokey.” ~Abraham-Hicks

It’s natural to attract what you want, because it is natural to experience what you want.

To know the manifestation of your desires and feel the fulfillment of life is an extension of being alive.

And being alive is what you are here for.

If this is true, and you don’t feel fully alive and have what you want, what is wrong?

Well, on some level you have been separated from your innate capacities and, therefor, are living in a strained world that is repelling what you desire. There is an old paradigm, based in survival consciousness and run by fear, that permeates your beliefs.

As a result, you have “mixed” beliefs and paradigms that create chaos within your mind and being about who you are and what you are capable of. There is part of you in one paradigm, and part of you that is in another.

See, you ARE a powerful creator. You innately know how to be so that you attract what you desire. There is a part of you that knows this as the paradigm to live by, to thrive by. This is thrival consciousness.

BUT…with the old paradigm lurking in your beliefs, you dismiss and doubt the truth of thrival consciousness.

THIS sabotages your attraction success*.

Why?

Because you can’t have part of you in one set of beliefs and part of you in another. Well, you can, but you won’t be effective in manifesting what you want because you are giving “mixed” vibrational messages to the universe.

And because the Law of Attraction operates from vibration, you must be clear.

=====================================

You can’t give “sorta, kinda, I think maybe, almost”
vibes to be a deliberate creator!
=====================================

So what can you do? Here are 5 Solutions:

1. Get clear. Get crystal clear about your beliefs, paradigm and what you want.
2. Declare. Be 100% in for what you decide.
3. Become aware. Notice when you have thoughts that are contrary to your beliefs, paradigm and wants; this is what creates the mixed vibration.
4. Clear. Use clearing techniques. Get rid of the stuff that does not align with your declaration.
5. Affirm. Use affirming tools and practices that raise and maintain your vibration.
   

*Attraction success includes manifesting what you desire on purpose; it is deliberate creation. It is harnessing the natural Law of Attraction to create the results you most desire.

Your Attraction Amplifier: 5 Tips to Take Charge of Your Attention

What you pay attention to grows.

It's true.

You are that powerful.

What you pay attention to grows.

What you place your attention on, you give life to.

Attention is comprised of your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and attitude. Attention can also include your purpose, your vision, your soul's desires. Where ever you reside most will be reflected in your life.

================================
Your dominate attention creates your reality.
================================

Your attention is a director to the universe; it's like you are saying to life, "here is where I choose to live". The universe takes your instruction, and reflects it back to you as directed.

Whatever you spend your time thinking about, talking about, dreaming about, planning about, worrying about, will inevitability be reflected back to you in your experience. Attention is an attraction amplifier that draws to you that which you are focused on.

Knowing this, doesn't it make sense to take the time to ensure that your attention is going toward what you want to grow? Seriously, if you don't do it, who will? Your old habits, programming, media.... you want your reality to be created by that?

5 Tips to Take Charge of your attention and be the powerful creator you are>>>

1) Decide where you want to put your attention. Identify the intentions, qualities, and feelings you want to experience.

2) Write out what you want and put it somewhere you re-visit frequently. Read it out loud once and a while. Use language that reflects your wants as if they are already happening. Be proactive and enthusiastic in your descriptions.

3) Surround yourself with uplifting and affirming resources. (Like Manifest Mastermind!) People, books, quotes, music... Choose to reinforce your focus through daily practices that align you with what you want.

4) Be gentle with yourself when you get off track. When you notice you are letting your attention astray, be compassionate with yourself and gently place your attention back where you want it.

5) Give thanks. Gratitude* is a huge magnifier and is one of the greatest tools for flourishing.

*Gratitude is the surest way to manifest on purpose. Receive 30 days of gratitude messages. In just minutes a day, you will notice results in your manifesting reality!

Are You Going Upstream or With the Flow?

Are you in the flow?

If you are, you are experiencing joy. You are letting the Law of Attraction work for you and what you want.

If you are not, you are feeling bad in some way. You are letting the Law of Attraction attract more of what you don't want and more of what contributes to you feeling bad.

In the flow=feeling good
Out of flow=feeling bad

Could it be that simple? Yes.

"If you are to be the joyful being you want to be and are meant to be, you've got to go with the flow. And when you don't, you don't feel good, it's just that simple. Not going with the flow of your own creation is what makes you not feel fulfilled. It's what makes you feel dissatisfied and worse."

~Abraham-Hicks

When you are in the flow, life feels good. You feel that all that is occurring is the way it is meant to be and as a result, there is a sense of contentment. This is not to say that you will not feel emotions i.e. sadness that come with the cycle of life- I'm not talking about slapping on a permanent smiley face. Let's get real.

I'm talking about a greater sense of okay-ness, a deep knowing that all is well and in alignment with what is meant to be. Even in the face of difficult developments in your life, there is an ability to "be" with it all in a way that keeps you in the flow.

"Nothing that you want is upstream."

~Abraham-Hicks

"If you would let go of your resistance and start going with the flow, you will discover how good this stream can be to you."

~Abraham-Hicks

10 Ways You Stay Out of the Flow and Fight Upstream:
1) Frustration
2) Holding on to Emotions
3) Resistance
4) Clutter
5) Control
6) Fear
7) Force
8) Victim Consciousness
9) Doing Things the Way You've Always Done Them
10) Attachment

10 Ways to Get in the Flow:
1) Relax
2) Create a Daily Practice to get Still
3) Allow
4) Surrender
5) Feel Your Emotions
6) Do Things That You Feel Alive In
7) Become Self-Aware (then will know when out of flow and can change course)
8) Learn to Hold a Healthy Detachment to Everything
9) Practice Acceptance and Forgiveness (of self and others)

AND number 10?

You guessed it...GRATITUDE. :)

Remember, joy is your birthright. Let yourself feel the flow....

Attention: It's All Tumbling Down!

It's all about your attention.

Times are changing. Things are falling apart. Systems are tumbling down.

Where will you place your attention? What will you make it mean?

You can join the "oh my" fear band wagon. It's a giant one. They are taking people right now.

It's tempting, I know. The nigglings of fear that were still left in you can't help but be triggered in times of such uncertainty.

That's good news, though. How?

See, part of the rapid change provides opportunity to clear out. There are things that you will not need to take with you on the next leg of the journey. Old fears, stories, paradigms.... they will be useless to your new life.

These times demand that you get more savvy with placing your attention where you want it.

That is, if you want to be joyful, at peace and free (by all means, do pay attention to the mayhem if you want to).

There are not many things you really have control over in life. A part of personal mastery is getting this. Surrender and let go where you need to. And get in charge where you can.

Usually, people have it the wrong way around. They let their thoughts run them, and they try to change what is around them. You relate?

That is backwards.

Instead, you need to let go of trying to change what is outside of you (i.e. through complaining, advocating, forcing, manipulating, convicing, blaming etc.) and learn how to use the power of your mind.

If you want to reside in a place of possibility in the midst of change and manifest your desires and the beginnings awaiting you, you must:

1) Get clear about what you want- Really clear. Identify and articulate it out loud. No kinda, sorta, would like language. Speak as if it is so.

2) Acknowledge your fears- Feel them. Breath. Release them. Listen, we're human. There will be a time when you can live without fear (REALLY!). Until that time comes, denying your fears will simply compound them. Do let yourself feel and then move on. Remember the move on part, OK? {A tool for releasing fear is EFT.}

3) Choose your attention-Put your mind to work by selecting the kinds of thoughts that help you feel good. If you feel bad, you are thinking a fearful thought. You are designed to feel good. That is your true nature. So, if you feel bad, instead of feeling bad that you feel bad, take it as a sign that your thoughts are in default.

What can you do?

*Create new thoughts.
*Affirm.
*Visualize.
*Surround yourself with thinking and messages that uplift you (i.e. music, inspirational speakers, poems, alive friends)

The dictionary says:

at·ten·tion=

• the act or faculty of attending, esp. by directing the mind to an object.
• a concentration of the mind on a single object or thought, esp. one preferentially selected from a complex, with a view to limiting or clarifying receptivity by narrowing the range of stimuli.
• a state of consciousness characterized by such concentration.
• a capacity to maintain selective or sustained concentration.
  

So....

1. Direct your mind to the object of your desire
2. Concentrate and narrow your range of stimuli to only that which contributes to what you want
3. Create a state of consciousness that helps you attract what you want
4. Establish practices that sustain your concentration on the above

Yep, it's all tumbling down. You get to choose what it will mean.

If you want it to mean that change is natural, chaos is part of the order, new life is born when the old life falls away, and that possibilities exist NO MATTER what is going on around you, be diligent about where you place your attention, making sure it aligns with such a reality.

Keep the Channels Open

"There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you, into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium--and be lost. The world will not have it.

It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly--to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or yourwork. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open."

~Martha Graham
____________________________

Oooh, this is so good!

I have highlighted a few key phrases relative to the latest I've been sharing with you about keeping clear. Let's explore each....

1) There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you

YES! This is the original life force you came into this world with. It is the natural, uninhibited, raw, essential energy that zings you with aliveness. It is "source" energy (that which is purely divine). It is in all of us. It is part of our commonality and oneness. Yet, it is expressed through you uniquely as you.

When you are connected and aligned with this natural life force, you are in the flow and have harmonized with your true nature. And when you have allowed this to occur, you live in ease and attract what you want.

2) If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium--and be lost.

Furthermore, if you block it, you will not receive and express the wonder of life that you are designed for. You will not experience your birthright of joy, health, peace and abundance--and whatever else you know you are here for.

3) It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly

This is another way of talking about "clearing" (See last entry for specific tips). Your business is to ensure that the vital force that is the true nature of life continue to move through you with clarity and ease.

If you don't stay clear, the way is cluttered and the natural flow is not able to do its thing. This clutter can be your past, limited beliefs, fears, etc.

When you are clear, you become that which you desire through your beingness. You are in harmony, and when you are in harmony, you will see, feel, think, and hear what you need to be and do in order to attract what you want.

***NOTE: Here's the deal! You cannot go any further with this unless you take responsibility. Taking full responsibility for your life is instrumental here. You are the creator. You are not a victim. Nobody's going to do it for you.

4) You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges

I have a new ebook coming out on the Law of Attraction and there is a lesson in "Desire". Desires can come forth in urges. We have learned to push them aside for various reasons. Now, in order to create on purpose, you will adopt a new policy>>>>>>

Listen to your urges. In order to hear them, you must be clear and aware. I've talked a lot about the importance of awareness; I believe it to be the source of true freedom and power.

5) Keep the channel open

Get out of the way and let life happen. Life knows how to live.

What Do You Believe?

"I believe in the sun even if it isn't shining."

~World War II Refugee

Beliefs are integral to the reality you create.

YOUR BELIEFS SHAPE WHAT YOU MANIFEST BECAUSE YOUR BELIEFS ARE A PART OF YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS. AND YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS IS REFLECTED TO YOU THROUGH YOUR EXPERIENCE.

In the spirit of awareness, I invite you to consider what you believe. Do your beliefs create what you want? Are you willing to discard your beliefs and replace them with ones that serve your desired experience? Do your beliefs limit you or expand you?

The dictionary says belief is:

1) The mental act, condition, or habit of placing trust or confidence in another
2) Mental acceptance of and conviction in the truth, actuality, or validity of something
3) Something believed or accepted as true, especially a particular tenet or a body of tenets accepted by a group of persons

Your beliefs can be so engrained that you don't even consider whether they are real or not. Your beliefs can be so automatic, that you live based on their "truth" (another demonstration of stimulus-----> response habits I talked about last week). For example, you may have been taught that dreaming is too lofty, too "pie in the sky". You may have heard that you can't make money doing what you love, that you need to be more practical. You may have been influenced by the idea that there is only so much to go around. These are only beliefs. They are not reality. That is, if you don't want them to be.

Beliefs are stories repeated over and over again. They are affirmations that we have given our confidence and trust to.

What do you want to give your confidence to? What do you want to trust to be true? About the nature of reality? About your circumstances? About your future? About your self?

YOU GET TO DEFINE WHAT IS TRUE. YOU GET TO DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN.

Do you want the real reality to be that we are here to thrive and know light-hearted joy?

Do you want it to be true that the universe wants you to succeed?

SUGGESTED EXERCISE:

Write/journal about your beliefs. Create a column of "LIMITED BELIEFS"
and "EXPANSIVE BELIEFS". In one column, write out your limited beliefs. These beliefs limit your reality, hold you back, keep you small, create obstacles, and simply make you feel bad. In the next column, write out your expansive beliefs. These beliefs expand your reality, connect you with a greater purpose, align you with your values, and help you feel good.

You can do this with specific topics. i.e. the nature of the universe, joy, your self, success

At the top, put your topic. My beliefs about ______ are.....

When you are done, take note of how much time you spend in limited beliefs and how much in expansive beliefs.

If you are ready, decide to spend more time in expansive beliefs. Choose a few keys ones and write them somewhere you can read and say aloud to yourself frequently.

Awareness Eradicates Suffering

In the May edition of my SpiritAlive enewsletter, I said: Awareness is the very foundation that your life sits upon. Life mirrors what you hold possible and true in your mind.

AWARENESS IS ....

a vehicle for thriving.

AWARENESS IS....

• paying attention
• consciousness
• being awake
• presence
• noticing
• being real about what is
  

AWARENESS IS....

A tool for the Law of Attraction.

So what does awareness have to do with the law of attraction? The power of your mind... to decide, to choose, to focus. All these qualities and abilities of the mind influence your ability to harness the law of attraction to work for you, for what you desire.

As far as harnessing the law of attraction, most people want to learn how to harness it to increase their joy.

First, let me explain how most people live.

They have an experience. The experience is the stimulus. Then they respond.

Stimulus----->Response

In this way of being, one is at the mercy of default responses. This can include stories, defenses, and reactions. These do not come from who one is... they come from the past, what one has been "trained" to do, and survival.

When you cultivate awareness, you create, among other things, choice.

You have an experience (stimulus). You breath. You feel. You stay present. You draw forth your innate knowing. You pay attention to what you want. You are awake to the moment.

Thus, you create:

Stimulus------> CHOICE----->Response

We create our suffering.* I know that is a big reality to consider. But I truly want you to live in your power. To do this, you need to get real about the power you have to create your reality. Suffering can be mild or dramatic. You know what suffering means to you.

I believe you can eradicate suffering with awareness. In turn, you welcome a state of being that includes ongoing joy.

*I saw Iylana Vanzant speak the other night and she said that we have to stop glorifying our suffering.

_________________________________________________
TIP: Pay attention to your stimulus-----> response patterns. When you have experiences, what do you notice about how you respond? Do you react automatically? Do you think? Do you lash out? Do you stifle your voice? Do you stay present? Do you choose?

Awareness and the Law of Attraction

There is a relationship between awareness and the Law of Attraction.

You see, your consciousness creates your reality. You may be aware of your consciousness, or you may not. When you are, you are able to see things for what they are, be with them, and evaluate them. You are able to do this with ease and clarity. Once you are able to be with what is (which is another way of describing acceptance) you can evaluate and discern whether what is occurring is a reflection of the reality you want to experience.

If it is not, you then can change your reality.

What you are aware of you can change.

Any thing or experience that you want to have
is available to you. You can become it. You just have to
get into the consciousness that allows that to occur.

When your consciousness dominates your awareness to
such an extent that you can't conceive of any other state
of mind other than the state of mind that you're in,
turn your attention to the power of mind, make a choice,
and learn to create an awarneness that will allow you
to expand your consciosness to be the consciousness
that will attract what you desire.

Whew!

Isn't this stuff fun?!
