Law of Attraction – Get Results #15 – Harnessing the Power of Your Emotions

…More on Attraction Distraction #3: Emotions
The Myth
Yes, we are indeed spiritual beings having a human experience. But I have noticed there is a common notion in the world of metaphysical study that has people feeling as if they are expected to skip the “human” part on the way to expressing their infinite spiritual nature as co-creators with Source. Whether the metaphysical teachings do not effectively address this issue or the teachings are being misinterpreted, the end result is that people become afraid of their emotions.
Here is what commonly happens: As we begin to awaken to our power as co-creators with Spirit, we learn that we create with our thoughts and emotions. And so when we inevitably have the human experience of thoughts and emotions that are contrary to what we wish to create, we try to control ourselves into thinking and feeling correctly. This makes people crazy! And it is actually counterproductive.
Let’s face it, as spiritual beings having a human experience, our buttons get pushed. We react to life. Emotions, like your thoughts, are like electrical activity. They are energy. They exist. If you harness their energy, they will work for you. If you don’t harness the energy, you can get hurt. Consider these human experiences:
• The lonely man from a broken home wants a loving wife and family.
• The single mother who can barely make ends meet dares to pursue a life of prosperity.
• The young woman who grew up in a critical home environment dreams of being a successful artist.
• The man who has been working at an unsatisfying job for ten years as the sole provider for his family dreams of starting his own business.
Whoever you are, whatever your dream is, I can guarantee that somewhere along the way, as you dare to dream and go for it, you will feel at least of few of these emotions:
• Fear
• Panic
• Anxiety
• Terror
• Doubt
• Disappointment
• Hopelessness
• Impatience
• Frustration
• Exasperation
• Anger
• Fed up
So, what do you do when this happens? Well, there are two answers. The first is the common trap many people fall in to. The second is the solution that will allow you to harness the power of your emotions.
Stay tuned to learn more about “The Trap”.

Great blog Sonia, thanks so much.
You might be interested in this too.
James Ray talks about going 3 for 3 in his newest book, Harmonic Wealth. Going 3 for 3 means aligning your thoughts, feelings, and actions towards a common goal. In other words, its not enough to just want to earn more money or lose weight – you have experience that dream on all three levels (thoughts, feelings, actions) to truly make the changes you desire and deserve. Give it a try and let me know what you think: harmonicwealth.com/read

Very great insights!
I think it is so important to feel good that most people overlook this simple fact. We must gain control of our emotions, not the other way around, to create our ultimate lives!
I love the enlightening perspective! Thanks for being a bright beacon for those who will be drawn to the light!

That’s been one of my most challenging situations on my “Road to Perfection” of LOA. Taking control of my feelings. I’ve been around so much negativity till it’s been a challenge to turn my feelings around about certain things. But I know that in order to get more positive things to enter my life, I need to Live and Let go! This posts reminds me of what I need to continue to do!

Thanks for your comment, Edward. Yes! Emotions can be one of the most challenging aspects of harnessing the power of one’s emotions.
And yet, I find that it boils down to one simple idea. Rather than trying to control our emotions, we must honor and allow them. Then, they release and the flow of Source’s well being is free once again to move through your life.
Resistance to our emotions, not the emotions themselves, create the greatest obstacles.
Blessings,
Sonia

Hi Sonia,
I love your article and agree with you 100%. Things are going to happen in life that will create a range of emotions, and I believe the key is to embrace them, realize them for what they are, let them go, then go on with your life.
It’s harder to do this if you believe you aren’t allowed to ever have any negative emotions!
Thanks

Have you repeatedly tried the law of attraction with absolutely no success?
The Secret gave you the formula, but not the power! We can not do it all on our own!
Maybe it’s time to hear the truth and finally discover the power!
go to http://www.LindaWrightBooks.com and learn the truth!

Thanks Sandra,
Oh yes… what a relief it is when we can allow rather than resist our emotions!

I am not single, but I am the mom of 4 barely making ends meat who is daring to change my life and accept and achieve prosperity. I can tell you now, I am constantly gripped by fear and anxiety, and I struggle to determine where these emotions are coming from and what thoughts I am having that give rise to them.
It is easy to go through life ignoring our deepest emotions and not realize that we exist with large amounts of fear and anxiety. But one you realize these emotions are there, it is a big process to understand what causes them and how to move past into more positive and constructive thoughts and emotions.

Hi Sonia,
Your post reminds me of when the movie, The Secret, came out back in 2006. It was all the talk and very popular because people thought they could attract what they wanted simply by thinking good thoughts. The only problem is most people’s perception is so out of whack that they don’t realize they are thinking negatively a majority of the time. In the end we need to look how we are FEELING. And unfortunately most of us are feeling stressed out, scared, and/or out of control most of the time. I believe that The Law of Attraction really does work. But since the movie, The Secret, came out, I think the new catch phrase might be a “Universal Consciousness” and where people a few years back were desperately seeking success I think today people just want to be happy. I do want to clarify something about my belief in the so-called law of attraction. Yes, I believe that if one trains one’s mind to consistently think in a positive way, which, in turn makes one feel good the majority of the time, more desirable situations and people will come into one’s world. The key is consistency and this takes a disciplined practice, which is something most people are not willing to commit to. This disciplined practice is something The Secret does not touch upon at all, and that is precisely why the world is in need of a ‘new secret’- one that explains in a fun yet real way that happiness is something that is absolutely possible – even in the state the world is in today. That’s why it’s time to have a new film – an update to The Secret. And that’s why we at Avenstar Productions teamed with inspirational speaker and author Andy Feld to make that happen. This time the secret is ‘Shamshara.’
thanks for listening,
Kim

Have you heard of the new upcoming movie “How Thoughts Become Things?” I just saw the trailer at http://www.HowThoughtsBecomeThings.com It is a question I have had since seeing the Secret, but it really hasn’t been answered very well. I hope this film will do a better job. It claims it will tie the Law of Attraction to modern Neuroscience in a way that will be applicable for everyone. I think that if they can provide these answers it will be wonderful!

Hi Kendall,
Thanks for visiting. I haven’t seen the trailer, but I do know of Mike Dooley and he does some great work around the Law of Attraction. I look forward to seeing his movie.

Hi Sally,
Fear is a natural part of growth and expansion on the human level. My most recent posts address this further. If we harness the power of our fear rather than try to control it, our fear can be a powerful catalyst.
Keep going deeper with this concept. You’re on the right path.
Blessings,
Sonia

I just saw the trailer on the film “How Thoughts become Things” and thought it was worth talking about here. I think this will be a great movie. The website talks about deeper lessons into The Law of Attraction, using Neuroscience and modern Psychology. The film is being made by Douglas Vermeeren who did The Opus. I am interested to know everyones thoughts. Since Rhonda Byrne has put out her book “The Power” and has apparently has no intention of doing another movie like “The Secret” is this movie the next step for all of humanity?
