(Guest Blog) You attract what you are, not what you want

I have a special treat for you this week … a guest blog from Dawn, a Manifested Harmony student!

As a recent graduate of Allie’s online Law of Attraction (LOA) course, my boyfriend and I faced our first major opportunity to implement the LOA concepts: Both of our work contracts had expired, and we were burning vacation and sick days while hoping that our next jobs come along quickly.  Our mantras were “I am connected to the abundance of source,” and, “I attract wealth,” and anything else that seemed positive.

However, the one lesson from class that kept creeping up in my mind was that we don’t attract what we want; rather, we attract what we are.  To be frank, that actually scared me, because if I really delved into my inner-most beliefs, it wasn’t necessarily a positive foundation for attracting things we wanted in our lives despite what I said out loud.   Then I read somewhere that our “outer world” is simply a reflection – even a symbol – of our inner selves, which is another fancy way to describe that we attract what we are.   Our inner-selves always go outward to the exterior world.

Using Allie’s technique to debunk old beliefs, my boyfriend and I sat down and talked about this concept and were honest with ourselves by asking strategic questions:

  1. Why are we stressed?  Because we’re stressed trying to find jobs.
  2. Why is trying to find jobs so stressful?  Because we’re concerned that they won’t offer us a salary that reflects what we are worth.
  3. Why would they offer us less than we’re worth?  Because that’s just the way it is.
  4. Why is it that way?  Because it just is.
  5. Why?  We didn’t know.

We decided that, “Because that’s just the way it is,” is just a belief we held with no data to back it up for us.  It was an unwarranted fear.

So my boyfriend and I made an agreement.  We agreed that we are valuable!  And anyone who interviewed us would see our value.  Rather than us going to interviews and try to convince companies that they should hire us, we would let them know how valuable and high-impact we are, and they could explain to us why we should work for them.

Within eight hours of debunking our old beliefs, I received an unsolicited tip on a job along with instructions on how to best apply, and my boyfriend’s lead on a job contacted him for a telephone interview, which ended with them informing him that not only will he keep his pay rate the same, but that he will be started at a higher level than his than his former boss at his previous job!  Human Resources will be contacting him to discuss logistics in the next few days.

Call it aligning, an attitude adjustment, getting into the vortex, connecting with source, attracting, whatever you will.  All we know is that we finally quit sabotaging ourselves with negative thoughts and beliefs for weeks on end, and suddenly everything is falling into place just as Allie taught in her class.

What did you say?

Shine a Light experimentHave you ever consciously listened to what you say throughout the day? Or do you speak out of habit? Do you mainly speak positive words? Negative words? Words of praise or limitation?

The Law of Attraction feeds off of our beliefs, thoughts, emotions and spoken words. If you have been working diligently on being more positive and happy but still do not have the manifestations that you desire, it is time for you to look at the words that you say throughout the day.

So this week I am putting out a Shine a Light Experiment! This is a simple yet eye-opening experiment to spotlight any negative words that you speak. I really want you to give this a try!!! For one entire day (more is better) from the moment you wake up to the moment to fall asleep, I want you to be conscious of what you say and to write down any negative word that you utter. Be honest and write them all down because it will be transformative (for the better!). Some of the most common negative words to be on the lookout for are: can’t, won’t, don’t, not, worry, fear, terrible, distrust, difficult, challenge, wrong.

It may seem counter-productive to make a list of negative words that you utter, but it is actually a great method to point out how often we blindly utter words without much thought. We do this out of habit. This experiment will make you conscious of what you say and that is a significant first step towards changing your words thus changing your vibration.

When you want to shift your vibration to a more positive energy, it takes more than a positive outlook; it also takes looking at the words that you commonly use everyday. So grab a journal or notebook (one that is small that you can conveniently carry) and get writing! I am eager to see how you do!

Let’s get inspired!

Inspired actionWhen you are working with the Law of Attraction, one key component that many people miss is the underling desire for what is wanted. I’m not talking about a mental, thought out, intellectual “I want this!” I’m talking about a desire that consumes you to your core, possesses your mind, and directs your actions even though the outside world may question those actions. In other words … inspiration!

If you do not have inspiration for what you want to manifest, the Law of Attraction cannot bring it to you. It is often a missed step that I talk about in my classes. Let me give you an example.

It seems like everyone wants to win the lottery so that they can leave their uninspiring jobs, maybe their miserable relationships, buy their dream home and move to a location that gives them joy. Sounds great, right? But deep down they have a block to winning the lottery. It could be that little voice in their head that says now you have to hire a financial planner, banker, attorney and all of these money professionals. What if they are not honest and steal my lottery money? What if family members beg for money? What if needy people come to me for a hand out? Oh, the burden of having millions of dollars! 

Those thoughts are concerns that invariably shift out energy out of inspiration to want millions of dollars. They are negative thoughts that push away any chance of winning the lottery. But what is missing in this story is the deep, burning, juicy desire to have more money than you will ever truly need. For most people, we want to be financially comfortable, not financially burdened under a load of money. Without that inspiration, you are in a canoe without a paddle headed upstream my friend.

So how do you get desire and inspiration to manifest what you truly want? Look to how you spend your time when no one is looking. When you’re not required to be at a job that pays your bills, how do you spend your days? If you did not have to worry about money, what would you do from 8am to 6pm everyday? Those activities are your desire, your inspiration, and where you will manifest.

Earthing and groundFor example, I love to rock hound, play with crystals, write, and help people and animals (just to name a few). Whether I am paid or not, I would do those activities and every day I actually do those activities. I do them without regard for what’s in it for me? and I can do them endlessly and lose track of time. I do them because of my inspired desire. So when I set an intention to manifest something that relates to one of those activities, it comes to fruition. And if I make money in the process … bonus!

On the other hand, when I set an intention for something that does not bring me inspiration and that does not have the energy of desire driving it, then no matter what intention I set and how much I consciously work the Law of Attraction, it will not manifest. For example, I get a lot of great suggestions for classes that I should create. For some, I do not resonate with the topic right now (I could and likely will down the road). So if I were to set an intention to create a class that I do not have a deep desire to create, I will not have the requisite inspiration to make it come to life. And it will remain on my to-do list and not manifest.

We all instinctively know that inspiration is the key to manifesting because when we take inspired action we do it with joy; but when we take action out of obligation, it does not go as smoothly and our energy is focused on obligation, not joy.

Tip of the week: (1) Make a list of everything that inspires you. (2) Make another list of everything you “want”. (3) Compare the lists to see if any of the items match. For those that match, set an intention and take inspired action as it comes to you to make it manifest. For any “want” items that do not match to inspiration, consider letting those go so that you can make more room for “wants” that match your desires.
