Law of Attraction: Vulnerability the Reluctant Hero in Realizing Your Dreams
By Sonia Miller | September 26, 2009
Manifesting is All About Your Emotions
The key to harnessing the power of the Law of Attraction lies in your relationship with your emotions. Why? Because your emotional energy is THE determining factor in HOW your thoughts take form in your life.
If for example, when you think about job or career, you FEEL gratitude, trust, joy, positive expectation and enthusiasm, then you’ll manifest job and career experiences that reflect gratitude, trust, joy, positive expectation and enthusiasm.
If for example, your thoughts (about anything) are charged with feelings of fear, lack, threat, or disappointment, then you will manifest experiences that reflect those emotional energies.
Most Law of Attraction students get this basic concept. But just because they understand it intellectually, doesn’t mean they know how to become master of this powerful creative force that is their emotional energy.
And so, it is this opportunity that makes all the difference. Will you invest the time and energy to develop an empowering partnership with your emotional energy, or will you not? Your answer will have much to do with whether you feel that your life is at the mercy of circumstances and fate, or whether you’ll awaken to your power as the creator of your life.
The Law of Attraction is NOT a Genie in a Bottle
If you’re among the seekers who’ve come to understand that the Law of Attraction does not work like the proverbial rub-your-genie-out-of-your-bottle-poof-there’s-your-dream, AND you you’re willing to do the deeper work, then a pilgrimage into the intimate and sacred realm of your own emotional landscape could very well lead you to YOUR personal Holy Grail.
So, how and where does one begin this exciting and powerful inner trek? It all begins with a willingness to be vulnerable. Vulnerability is defined as “capable of being hurt, susceptible to corrupt influence, defenseless against attack.” To be vulnerable is to feel exposed, unsafe, or threatened. By mere definition one sees exactly WHY some seekers hold on to the fantasy of the magic genie in a bottle. Who wants to feel vulnerable!?
But it is vulnerability that opens the door to EVERYTHING. Vulnerability requires us to let our guard down. Vulnerability tells us we must let go of control. Vulnerability dictates that we must be willing to risk trusting – trusting a deeper part of ourselves, trusting other people, trusting Life, and trusting Spirit. And while we’re risking trusting in Goodness, we are also risking our worst fears, whatever they are.
The Pay Off
The payoff to all this risk? Divine, infinite possibilities!
When you let down your guard enough to open your heart to your own emotions, you open the door to your soul’s wisdom. This open door establishes a conduit to the flow of Source Energy in your consciousness and throughout your life. And once Source energy is flowing through you, the limitations of your mind and your physical reality, no longer apply. You have now officially tapped into the infinite.
However, just because the door is open doesn’t mean you know what to do with all this new emotional and divine information. You must learn the language of the emotions. Learn how to handle them, honor them and release them, so that inspired guidance becomes available to you. And once the inspired guidance is there, you must learn how to interpret it and heed it.
This Indiana Jones type spiritual-emotional journey is not for the faint of heart. There IS risk involved. And just like Indiana prepares for his journey with knowledge, skill and support, if you are called to this adventure, it behooves you to set yourself up for safety and success.
Guidelines for Summoning Your Reluctant Hero
One Step at a Time – Just because you understand that vulnerability requires risk, does not mean that you need to jump off a cliff. Surrendering to the power of vulnerability should not be an all-or-nothing proposition. Instead of the big leap into a dark abyss, think of it as a cautious exploration into uncharted woods.
Find a Map or Guide – An explorer never embarks on an adventure without some kinds of navigating tool. Be smart and find a book, a program, a counselor, coach, teacher or healer who can help you learn and understand and navigate this unfamiliar terrain.
Keep Your Sights on Your Ultimate Goal – When you open the door to your heart, it is not uncommon for there to be a temporary surge or mini-flood of energy – both emotional energy and spiritual energy. If you are not prepared, with the right support, this short-term “pressure adjustment” can feel very unsettling. By keeping in mind why you began this journey in the first place, you’ll be able to ride out any rough waters, until you come upon the calmer, more illuminated stretches in your spiritual-emotional travels.
There is untold spiritual freedom and expansion available to you if you are willing to call upon your inner-hero of vulnerability. With the right attitude and the right support, your internal spiritual explorer will take you on the most fulfilling, glorious adventure of your life!
