Hi John,
The Law of Attraction is a spiritual concept. It is based on the premise that what one thinks about and “emotionally charges” with desire will come to fruition. The thought can create the form. For example, if you desire to own a cat, you visualize owning a cat and add your feelings of desire for this companion.
Your desired outcome is hinged upon certain factors:
– Whether you have asked on behalf of yourself or someone else
– The strength of your desire
– Whether this is for your Highest Good
– Whether you truly wish this outcome
– How realistic the outcome is in relation to your present set of circumstances
-How clear you are with your stated objective
If you do not receive what you wished to attract or create in your life, it may be due to these variables:
– The object or concept or situation is not for your Highest Good
– You believe, whether consciously or unconsciously, that you are unworthy of receiving the desired outcome
– Your intention wasn’t strong
– Your stated objective wasn’t clear
– You weren’t open to allowing it to be received
The “mentality” needed for utilizing the Law of Attraction involves:
– Sitting quietly and pondering why you wish for something. What is your goal?
– Visualizing the goal and seeing the object, concept or situation fully in its future state. By BEING in this future state, you can actually transport yourself to this new reality.
This takes practice. If you embrace the Law of Attraction and believe that you can create your reality — your experience via your thoughts — you are already into the game! With clarity of focus and not pushing the effort (I like the expression: You cannot push the river), you will find yourself experiencing many synchronicities with respect to what you wished for and what appeared on your doorstep later.
Happy Attracting!
Joanie
