Law of Attraction: 6 Biggest Myths and how to Avoid them: Myth#1

YOGA POSEBIG BLUNDER NO.1 WITH LAW OF ATTRACTION
Today is the first of 6 posts on BIG BLUNDERS OR MYTHS WITH THE LAW OF ATTRACTION – AND HOW TO AVOID THEM. The posts come from first-hand experience in my own life and coaching clients to break-free from where they are stuck or hurting …to attract and live the life they love.

You see, by the time I hit 50, despite being a life-long student of books and workshops on Manifesting, Positive Thinking and the Laws of Attraction, you could say I was a “flat-out failure”.
• Flat broke and homeless after a fire
• Flat broken-hearted and alone after my 25 year marriage ended in divorce
• Flat unemployed – despite a long career in journalism
• Flat frustrated that the Law of Attraction had let me down…or had it?

In turning my own life around from “mess to success” in love and money and with regard to the 4Ps of happiness – Passion, Power, Peace and Purpose – I needed to clear 6 key beliefs that were keeping me stuck from manifesting results with the Law of Attraction. See if any of these resonate with you.
MYTH NO. 1
ANYONE CAN VISUALIZE AND ACTIVATE THE LAW OF ATTRACTION WITH THE POWER OF THEIR CONSCIOUS MIND
This is the single biggest blunder I myself made before I was “en-lightened” about how my UNCONSCIOUS mind was running 95% of my life, unbeknown to me! I was simply attracting vibrationally from beliefs and patterns going back to my childhood and family of origin. These were keeping me stuck and blocked from success and happiness.

I proved the truth of this in thousands of hours working as an intuitive healer for more than eight years using tools like The Journey and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) which I then distilled into the Break-Free Fast Formula™.

Law of Attraction Tip No. 1
When you feel stuck or frustrated in any area of your life know that likely you need to do some cleaning and clearing of the negative beliefs originating in the past (parents, teachers, church, society) that otherwise can end up running – or ruining – you life NOW and crippling your best efforts to manifest your cherished dreams.

IS YOUR SHIP OF LIFE STUCK ON A SANDBANK?

IS YOUR SHIP OF LIFE STUCK ON A SANDBANK?

I liken it to your ship of life having gone more and more off course until you are stuck on a sandbank. The sandbank is the accumulated debris of your life that you need to excavate with the emotional-energy tools I recommend in my book like EFT tapping plus other powerful clearing tools.

BRAIN PLASTICITY & LOA

by Caryl Westmore on October 22, 2009

You can change your THINKING and your LIFE. Starting now.

Scientists refer to it now as “BRAIN PLASTICITY” and esoterically it is referred to as the LAW OF ATTRACTION.

In my book I devote a chapter to this concept: Your Brilliant Brain. I tell the story of my client who literally “tapped away” his stuck obsessive compulsive brain pattern which had started after he had the equivalent of a stroke by being given too much anaesthetic during an operation. He felt victimized by this event and others which had happened to him – he lived in fear of total healing – in case he was knocked down again.

And  in one session his brain which had felt “hardwired” for victimization was liberated by finding and releasing with EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) the childhood event – bullying by his older brother-  which had set him up. He made a decision to heal his life and I believe he rewired his brain from that time on to expect something different.

Previously science said that your brain was hardwired. In other words, you are born with brain cells wired up in a particular way that is unchangeable except that the total brain cell count declines with age.

New discoveries in neuroscience have revamped that view. A common term now used is ‘plasticity’, where the brain moulds, changes, and grows depending upon what you are focusing upon.
It’s why we discipline ourselves to be grateful, give thanks and love what is. Because if you RESIST and gripe and whine and focus on the negative of a situation, you enliven those neural pathways in the brain. Instead, positive thinking encourages brand new connections  between brain cells as you begin to grow an entirely new network connecting brain cells (neurons). This is called a neural network.

Therefore your brain and body is not something that you are simply born with, whose health and functioning you can do nothing about. Instead, you are continually growing, changing,  and shaping your brain and your body. You have far more of an effect on your mental and physical health by what you THINK and pay attention to.

And with practise you can develop great control over what you give your attention to. In a sense, you can build up your ‘attention muscle’ in the same way that an athlete might develop leg or arm muscles. Regular meditation is a great way to do this, and some recent neuroscience discoveries of meditators have confirmed this. Through repetitive meditation their brains grew significantly more neural connections than control groups who didn’t meditate.

It’s why I entitled my book “You Can Breakfree Fast.” I discovered that I myself – and my clients – would have what I call a “break-free-aha” about a specific person/incident/or event that had influenced them to believe or act a certain way. The tears that often came with the realization signified, I felt, the “thawing” of the frozen belief or thought previously embedded in the mind.

When someone is “sick and tired ” of feeling stuck in some area of his or her life – and asks me for a session to “break-free” they expect and are inspired with a chance to start anew in the brain.

Within as little as three hours or less they can get it… they had been set up – or set themselves up -  to be less than they could be, or expect less than they could have from life.

I love that about my work.  Liberating someone who wants to be free.

So never give up – I promise you: YOU CAN BREAK-FREE FAST.
