Law of Attraction: Discover the Top 10 Ways We Get In Our Own Way!
By Sonia Miller | April 16, 2009
As a long time spiritual life coach, I can say without reservation that the Law of Attraction is true, it is simple, and it works! That’s the good news. The tougher pill to swallow, however, is that none of this necessarily means that the harnessing the power of the Law of Attraction easy.
This fact alone is what has driven my work for more than twenty years. What a gift – that every human being has equal access to a body of knowledge which has the capacity to help us unleash our infinite power as co-creators. And yet, it is not enough to intellectually understand Law of Attraction principles. Left to our own devices, we get in our own way. It is simply human nature. And yet, if we are willing to go deeper and awaken to the broader truth of who we, the sky is the limit!
So where does one begin in the process of getting out of one’s own way? Well, first you must understand how it is that you get in your own way in the first place? Here is my top ten list:
#1 – We believe in limitation.
Many of us walk around asleep. We believe that reality is what we perceive with our five senses. Our five senses are very limited in what they tell us about what’s possible. The reality is that you are limited only by what you can imagine.
#2 – We don’t understand the power of our emotions.
Most of us have little idea of the purpose and power of our emotions. They are the language of the soul and they are our navigational system. However, rather than letting our emotions helps us, most of us either try to control our emotions or let them control us. By harnessing the power of our emotions we begin to see the world beyond our five senses.
#3 – We don’t know how to use action to our greatest benefit.
It is commonly believed that the way to fulfillment is through hard work and lots of action. This is only a partial truth. When you let your action be guided by a spiritual navigational system you can learn to work “smart versus hard.” And sometimes simply letting go is the way to accomplish the most.
#4 – We can be mentally sloppy.
Like it or not, discipline IS one of your greatest allies. But many of us resist discipline at all cost. We understand that we create our reality with our thoughts and emotions, but until we understand that we simply cannot afford to let our thoughts run amok, we will continue to experience exactly what our minds default to.
#5 – We buy into 3rd dimensional reality (i.e. we react to our physical reality).
It is natural to react to the external circumstances of our lives. However, once we’ve reacted, we have a choice. Will we believe in limitation (i.e. really buy into what’s happening and let it dictate our experience) or will we put our attention toward a higher truth? When we learn to manage our reactions, we shift from victim to creator.
#6 – We struggle with attachment.
When we become attached to something we want, we hold on tightly in an attempt to pull it closer. In reality this only serves to keep you further from your desire. When you understand that you already have everything you could ever desire within, then – because like attracts like – you attract more of the experience of having all that you desire.
#7 – We misread the signs the Universe sends us.
When things do not go our way, our minds automatically begin assigning meaning. “I don’t get to have it. I’ve failed. This is bad news.” When we misread the events of our lives by judging them as “bad,” we manifest and experience things in exactly that way – badly.
#8 – We want to control everything.
Source Energy is abundant and flowing. And the way to tap into this flowing abundance is to remain open and receptive. The minute we try to control things, we stop the flow and block the abundance we seek to manifest. Learning to let go as a way of life, is the spiritual opportunity and the solution.
#9 – We think we need to change our outer world to fulfill our needs.
Nothing outside of us is the source of our well-being. Source Energy is our only source. When we realize that everything we need comes from Source – that there is only one source and infinite channels – we stop wasting our precious energy on trying to change our outer world and begin going to the true source of our well-being for our fulfillment.
#10 – When it comes to the wisdom of the Law of Attraction, we miss the big picture.
The Law of Attraction is about much more than attainment. It is, in fact, a vehicle for spiritual development. When seekers open up to the bigger picture, they discover that fulfillment comes not from “manifesting things,” but from awakening to the higher truth of who we really are.
Give yourself the gift of looking beyond the surface of mainstream Law of Attraction teachings. You’ll find a well-spring of opportunities to discover how you’ve been getting in your own way, and you’ll uncover a path to knowing yourself in ways you may have never imagined!
