It reminded me of me.

When I first leaned about Law of Attraction I rebelled against the idea that I created my own reality. Then I rebelled against the idea that I would have to WORK at it to create a new one.

And, like going to to the gym to build muscles, I would have to KEEP IT UP.  UG!  Even Ester, who channels Abraham, admits to doing over 20 focus wheels a day sometimes.

Really?  REALLY?!

But over time I begain to realize my life was being created no matter what, by me, whether I was consciously doing it or just doing it unconsciously.  And really, how much work was I saving?  Wasn't cleaning up that relationship going to take a lot of time and emotional work?  Wasn't dealing with that wrong-for-me-job going to take some financial, emotional and mental work to regroup from?

I began to see that life is "work", whether you do it up front or you clean up after it, you have to be awake and engaged in it if you want it to be clear.

If I was going to have the life I wanted I was going to have create it myself.

Either by wanting it more.  Appreciating more.  Forgiving more.   Allowing more.  Whatever tool of the day was necessary to help me get out of my own way and allow my dreams to come forth and, as soon as i was able to let them, be made manifest.

Fight it if you want. Throw a fit about it if it feels good.  (I did! ;) But once you stop resisting the fact that life is meant to be a conscious, ongoing process and you start applying consistent, conscious processes to it, your life will change for the better.

It has to.  It is Law. :)

How Law of Attraction Works
Law of Attraction does not say you get what you want.  It says you get what you attract.  What you think and feel and what you get are always a match.

Which means you could most certainly attract something you don't want.

For Example
Think of a single women who wants to get married.

She isn't asking for a far-fetched or out-of-the-ordinary goal.  She is clear about what she wants and is very specific about it.  And she really, really wants it.  In fact, she thinks about it all the time.

So if the Law of Attraction were true, why hasn't she gotten married yet?

Because what she wants and what she is feeling about what she wants are two different things.

"I just want a nice man.” she may say out-loud.

That sounds simple enough.  But if you listen to how she feels when she says that you may hear:

“Where have all the good men gone? I have dated and dated and look at me... I'm just getting older alone.  I have been patient.  I'm not asking for much.  Come on, give me a break – I just want a nice man!”

And since Law of Attraction gives you what you think and feel (which means vibrate) she is seeing more examples of how hard it is to find a good man.

Money Woes
The same thing happens with money.

“I want more money!”, someone says.  “I picture it coming to me!  I have fake 1,000,000 bills all over my house.  I read money-making books – where is my money?”

They may be saying they want money, but what they are feeling is the lack of money, stress about money, and fear about not having money come to them.

Which is why the Law of Attraction is bringing them more reasons to feel stressed about money.

So the short answer to the question of “How can bad things happen to good people?” is:

They are accidentally manifesting what they don't want instead of what they do want.

Their thoughts and feelings are not a match to what they want.

No Right or Wrong

Law of Attraction does not have a value system.

It doesn't believe something is good or bad.  It says – “I will gather like energies together.  That's it.  That's what I do.”

So if someone is worried about the safety of their home (or they just believe they have bad luck, etc.) and someone is planning to rob a home those two energies might attract each other and a burglary ensues.

Did the homeowner want to get robbed?  Of course not.

But while the homeowner said “I don't want to get robbed”...

...or “I am glad I have this home security system so that I don't get robbed”...

...or “I want to be safe (because I don't want to get robbed)” they were thinking and feeling about not getting robbed which is a similar vibration to being robbed.

So when things happen (whether you wanted them to or not) it is the Law of Attraction matching vibrations.

Nothing more and nothing less.

Law of Attraction and Compassion

If everyone is creating their own reality where does compassion come into play?  After all, you can't just blame your woes on bad luck or a bum break.

“Waaa!” I cry.

“What's up?” my husband asks.

“I don't have any friends in this new place we moved to.  I feel so lonely.”

“Well you attracted it.  Maybe now you'll make some changes.”

Grrrr.

Just because we all create our own reality doesn't mean compassion and understanding don't have a place.

“Awww honey, here, let me give you a hug.”

“Thanks, babe.  Now I'm going to go write a script about how much I love hanging out with my new friends so that I will start attracting some.”

Hearing and Heeding The Signs

Sometimes we are clear about what we want and we are even pretty good at thinking and feeling about what we want...

....and we still have something unwanted happen.  What's up with that?

A True Story

I had a surprise fender-bender with the mini-van.  So when my husband lent me his car to drive up north his last words were, “Don't crack up the car.”

Yikes!

I did NOT want to crack up the car.  And for over a decade I had never had an accident.  I never worried about driving and safety.

Until now.

My dominant vibration around the topic of driving was still good but my confidence was shaken.  So when the Universe gave me warning signs I botched them up.

“Just park there”, my friend said, pointing to a spot next to a big red building.

We were visiting her community property in the hills of California.  Much of it was not built out.

My gut said “No, don't do it” but my head said “Come on, there is hardly anyone here.  She owns the land.  She must know best.”

So I parked there.

After a tour of the property we went back to the car.  What I saw didn't surprise me much.

A pick-up truck had backed me in.  Of all the places to park in the vast, wide dirt lot he had chosen to park very close to my car.

Warning Bells
Once again my gut told me something was wrong but I couldn't put a finger on it.

Since I couldn't get a clear picture of why I was feeling uneasy I assumed the message was to back around the truck carefully.  That made sense.

I buckled up.

I still felt I didn't have the whole message....but it was time to go and I felt pressured so I didn't give myself time to figure it out.

I started up the car instead.

And as I backed around the truck successfully I felt a huge wave of smugness at my cleverness .  I gunned the engine in reverse...

....and tore a huge hole in my fender on a low, stone wall I had never noticed.

Gosh Darn-it

I was clear what I wanted. The Universe was delivering me messages through my emotions to help guide me and I still had an “oops”.

I could only sit there in my broken car and say, “Eyup.”  Now I see.

Bigger Than A Bread Box

That was just a fender-bender.  But what about something really big like an airplane crash?

Keep in mind that I am making this example up.

Also keep in mind that just because a person creates their own reality doesn't mean you can't feel compassion for them in their situation.

So with regards to a plane crash, depending on each person and what they are vibrating...

• Someone might be completely flowing and vibrating with a long, healthy life so it never occurred to them to take a trip at that time or to that place.
  
  
• Someone might have picked a different flight.
  
  
• Someone may have picked that flight and got booted off because of it being overbooked.
  
  
• Someone may have missed the flight because their alarm didn't go off.
  
  
• Someone may have had met a long-lost friend in the airport and missed the flight because they got to talking.
  
  
• Someone may have had a last-minute gut feeling to not board the plane and so they didn't.
  
  
• Someone may have had a last-minute gut feeling to not board the plane and they did it anyway.
  
  
• Someone may have felt that life is hard and they never get the breaks and they were miserable and stressed out booking the flight for financial reasons, mad they had to get up early, frustrated that they got a middle seat and as the plane started to go down said “Ain't that the way it always is in this miserable life?”
  
  
• And someone else may have intended a happy life full of ease and grace and they found themselves on an airplane going down so that they could have a swift exit from this life into a new one.

In every case Law of Attraction was in action.  It gave each person what they were vibrating (thinking and feeling) and what they were allowing.  Without judgement.  Nothing more and nothing less.

It can be scary to think of it like this, but it can also be empowering.  If the Law of Attraction doesn't judge what you want and gives you what you think/feel (vibrate) then...

...anything really is possible!

But if this does scare you, it's just an indication that it's time to clean up what your are vibrating - and reading and learning about the Law of Attraction is a great way to help with that.

So pat yourself on the back for continuing to learn and do your best!  If you feel proud of yourself for that you are on the track to a better vibration and life!

About The Video
This is a clip from the 1963 animated movie "The Sword In The Stone".  In this clip young Arther has just met the magician Merlin.  Merlin wants to take Arthur back to the castle so they head off into the woods.

In the woods is a wolf who has been trying to eat Arthur for some time.  Arthur is a sweet boy; allowing of good things and very Law-of-Attraction-y.  He focuses on being helpful.  He believes the best in people.  He thinks Happy Thoughts.

So watch as he goes about life, completely oblivious to the wolf.

He never knows he is in danger.  And in truth, he is not in danger, because he is aligned with well-being.

That is Law of Attraction in action!

With Law of Attraction the idea is not that you ignore bad things while secretly being afraid of them or being angry that they exist.

The idea is not to force yourself to look at good things no matter what, grumble grumble.

Law of Attraction says: get so good at being happy that you are happy, regardless of what other people or situations in the world are doing.  And then you won't have to protect yourself from them, because they simply will not exist in your life.

They may exist in the world.  They may be in your neighbor's life or your family's life, but they will not be in yours.

You'll be like Arthur, walking along, doing your thing, completely oblivious.

Which, come to think about it, would make you look really irresponsible to the people who are pointing at and running from the wolf, getting sticks and guns and traps to kill the wolf, putting up fences and building buildings to protect themselves from the wolf, wouldn't it?

Yes, it would.

But if you keep practicing being happy you might find that you are completely oblivious to them, too.

Now that's Law of Attraction in action! :)

_
The reason is this:

The Earth is a spiritual being, just like you and me, and she has a timed cycle.  Sort of like a woman's monthly cycle, only regarding the 2012 shift it's a cycle that doesn't occur every 28 days or so, but about every 13,000 years.

Because the Earth's axis is not straight up-and-down but on a tilt, the "top" of the Earth creates a wide circle as time goes by.

This means that every 12,920 years the Earth either begins a time pointed away from the center of the Universe out into male energy (where we have been) or the Earth begins a time pointed towards the center of the Universe into female energy.

The new 13,000 year cycle back into feminine energy starts in 2012.

(It also begins a new Age of Aquarius.   The Earth passes through all 12 constellations in this big circle, a new constellation every 2,160 years.)

With this shift comes a change in the Earth's physical energy.

Just like human beings have a shaft of light that runs up through the center of their body called the kundalini, so too does the Earth.  For a long time now that Earth kundalini has been shining out from the planet in Tibet.  That's why Tibet and the surrounding areas have been full of awakened masters and teachings.

But that has now changed.

The kundalini moved all around the Earth (passing through the U.S. in the 60's, all you flower children!) and now it is shining out form high in the Andes mountains in Chile.  This means that as the centuries go by Chile and Peru will shine with awakened masters and teachings just like Tibet and India has.

What does that mean to you?

Have you ever gone into a hotel with beautiful surroundings, lush gardens and flowing fountains?  Even if you had a hard day's travel did you find yourself instantly refreshed?

On the other hand have you ever walked into a hotel that smelled like bleach yet was still dirty, cramped and close to a loud highway?  Did you find yourself refreshed?

The environment around us affects us in many ways.

We can still choose our thoughts and how we act in the world but the example of the hotels reminds us that we find ourselves more easily tuned into relaxation in surroundings that welcome it, and we may find ourselves doing more work to feel refreshed in surroundings that do not.

Right now we are spiritual souls in physical form...and the Earth is our hotel.

So as the Earth's energy shifts, the environment shifts and people are responding, even if they don't know why.

Beautiful
The new cycle we are entering into is beautiful.  It's a time of coming together.  It's a time where the feminine within everyone is embraced and lived.  It's a time of heart-centered community and conscious co-creation with ourselves, each other, and the Universe.

But do we need to tell "2012" to everyone?

No.  :)

We can simply help anyone who asks "How do you stay so happy?" by smiling and hugging them and by sharing the actual shift: "I live in my heart.  Care to join me?"

That's 2012.  Or rather, that's 2013 and 2014 and 2015 and 2016...

One of my favorite Law of Attraction tools is scripting.

You will need: something to write with.

I like using a paper and pen.  Some people get great results typing on a computer.

Experiment with both and see which one feels better for you.

The Goal
The goal with scripting is that you feel good about a subject you want to shift.  If you can feel good about it for a while, even just 10 minutes a day, things will improve for you no matter how much it doesn't feel good when you are not scripting.

Feeling good is wonderful.  If you can... shoot for feeling fantastic. If that is too much of a stretch just aim for feeling some relief.

How To Script
With scripting you write about the future as if it is happening right now.

I like to start with where I am sitting and take it from there.

For example, the other day I was in my pajamas at home but I wrote something like this (and keep in mind I don't even have a boat right now):

"I am sitting here enjoying the water rock the boat. My kids are asleep and so is my husband. The captain is busy doing his captain stuff and I am left here at the bow to watch the sun glint off the water and write.

I feel so at peace.  My kids get along so well.  They are such a great team. I love to watch them interact...."

I went on like this for a page.

Yes, It Works
That afternoon while the kids and I were hanging out my 16 month old started tickling and kissing her sister. She has always been affectionate but this was something new!

I sat there in awe as the two of them giggled and hugged and giggled and hugged...

It suddenly occurred to me, "I just wrote about this in my script! I just wrote that my kids get along so well and that I love to watch them and it's happening already!"

Law of Attraction Tools Say: Practice, Practice
If you are not used to writing, or if you have been feeling depressed or angry for a long time then scripting might feel like a stretch.

That's ok.

You don't have to be on a boat in the Caribbean with your own private captain in your first script. Especially if you get seasick. ;)

Your script might sound more like "I am laying on the couch and for once I don't feel like screaming. It's nice to just lay here and not have my eye twitch."

Be honest with how you feel.

Law of Attraction tools are all about aligning what you REALLY feel with what you REALLY want.

So when you script, the whole point is that you feel better (or great, or "YAY!" or simply relief) when you write it.

Should I Write Every Day?
That's up to you.  If it feels like work and you start to dread it, no.  It's supposed to be helpful, not a burden.

But if you like the tool or you can at least get to a better-feeling place by the end of a page, try it once a day for a month and see how much better you feel.

Law of Attraction tools work if you apply them consistently.

Can I Talk About More Than One Thing?
You can talk about whatever you want in your script.

If I am working on a particular subject like attracting more email readings, I will write one whole page on how great it feels to do email readings for clients who are in alignment with my work.

If I am just using the tool to continue "allowing" my life I will write about my life in general and how great it feels to be living it.

Imagine This
But imagine that you have an issue that is bugging you.

Like YOU want more clients.

What if you wrote one page a day about how you love your day because you have a full schedule of wonderful clients and you love the work and the abundance...

What do you think might shift if you did that every day for one month?  Or two?

I know a Law of Attraction coach who built her budding practice using the scripting tool. She filled up with clients within three months.

Remember The Point
Remember that the point of scripting is that you are writing about something you want AS IF it has happened.

And that you feel good while you write it.

Scripting is one of the Law of Attraction tools that you can take anywhere - because all you need is a piece of paper or a computer.

(Or once, while I was in a hotel room with none of these things, my finger pretending to write on my pillowcase. And yes, it worked!)


Get The Scripting Book Oprah Asked About!
If you are drawn to scripting and you want to truly master it, I have a recommendation for you.

My favorite Law of Attraction coach, Jeannette Maw, created an e-book that answers every single question you can possibly have about scripting including "am I doing this right"?

She gives examples, true-life stories and motivational tips that will help you overcome any blocks and self-sabotaging resistance you have for finally sitting down and writing.

Does it work?  Well...Jeannette used her own Pray Rain Journal to manifest being on Oprah - and it worked! How cool is that?!

I have my own copy and I personally recommend it.

P.S. It's 2011 and I used scripting this year to go from feeling tired and overweight to feeling energized and fitting into my pre-baby pants.  It really does work.  You write and inspired action begins to follow - with you being the one who is inspired. :)

You Want Something
Say you want a new car. You dream of your new car. You can feel the leather seats beneath you. You smell that new car smell. You're writing about your car, visualizing it, cutting out pictures of it and putting them around your house.

Everything seems to be going quite well.

A few weeks go by. There isn't a new car in your driveway yet but you have faith that your car is making its way to you.

Time continues to march on and you begin to wonder why you don't have that new car. You do more homework to uncover your blocks to having a new car. You do more visualizing. You seem to be doing everything right but where is your new car?

The next morning you get up and your current car won't start. Now you have no new car and your current car won't work. What. is. going. on. here.?

You ask a friend to drive you to work and you get there late, miss a meeting and your boss yells at you.

At this point you get really frustrated. You begin to think this whole "manifestation thing" is a load of hooey. You get angry at your life, at your job, at yourself. You get angry at your new car (which you still don't have). You are certainly angry at your current car sitting stuck in the driveway at home.

The Last Straw
When you get home your roommate asks you to lend them some money and you lose it. You throw a huge, no-holds-barred temper tantrum.

You kick. You scream. You rant. You rave. You let it all hang out.

For a few days afterwards you are utterly disgusted with life but you finally quiet down and say to yourself "Ok, I still want to be happy, so let's go back and look at what I want again". And you begin to turn your sights to what you want once more, including your new car, miracles start to occur.

The Miracles Come
Your mechanic wants to buy your car from you because they can fix it up and sell it for more money. A friend you haven't heard from in a while calls to catch up. You discover they are dating someone who happens to work at a car dealership.

And then the unspeakable happens. You get an extra landslide in taxes you weren't expecting, your mechanic buys your old car and your new car dealer contact hooks you up with the car of our dreams and you drive home in your "new baby" in what feels like a matter of minutes.

You're in a daze. How did it happen?

The Undercurrent
Very often, without realizing it, we are resisting the very thing that we want. We don't know we're doing it or we'd stop doing it, right?

To illustrate this point take a moment right now to consciously breathe into your body and relax your muscles. Breathe and relax your back, your shoulders, your forehead… don't forget your legs, your feet… have you found any tension yet? Were you conscious that you had it while you were reading this article?

Just like we can hold tension in our bodies without realizing it we can hold tension in our "vibration" that thwarts our manifestations. You can catch sight of it in a passing thought such as "I'm not sure I can afford a new car".

It Builds Up
But as the desire for the car grows, the small resistance we have towards allowing the car in our life grows, too. And then all the other little resistances we have build up, too. Until, like a pressure cooker up too high, it blows.

Properly executed a good temper tantrum can release the force of your built-up resistance known and unknown, until you are a wet noodle, spent and beaten down.

This is a very good thing.

Because in that moment of being totally exhausted and un-resisting, you can open the doorway to fully accepting anything that comes your way – especially the good things. This is often called "surrendering".

Here is a true story from my own life experience.

A True Story
While living in San Diego my husband and I realized we wanted to live somewhere different. We didn't know where, but we knew it wasn't San Diego.

We were very excited about finding a new place to live. We had meetings a few times a week dreaming of the kind of place we wanted to live and six months later we settled on Ashland, Oregon.

It Seemed Easy
Once we knew where we were moving the rest seemed easy. We begin to plan the logistics of moving our belongings and our daughter up to Oregon. Life felt exciting and new until one day, with our move date creeping up, I started to see resistance in my life experience.

Our current landlord wasn't responding quickly or easily to our notice to leave. We were wondering how my old car would make the trip. A friend we were relying on to help us might now be unavailable during our move.

I dealt with these hiccups just fine, it seemed, until one day I snapped. I literally just blew up. I think I may have stomped my feet. I certainly yelled at lot.

72 Hours Of Release
For about three days I yelled. I totally doubted myself about the move. I wondered if I was totally crazy for leaving my network in San Diego. I thought I must be insane to give away or sell most of everything I owned to move to a town I'd never seen before. I thought I was just a delusional positive-thinker, out of touch with reality.

In short, I thought I was fooling myself.

The Calm
But then, just as suddenly as a tornado, my temper tantrum ran its course and left behind it a calm, quiet, tentative stillness.

For a few more days I walked on tip toes, enjoying the newborn-baby balance I was feeling. I slept a lot. I took some deep breaths.

And then I did a very important thing.

I sat down and picked up from where I left off – manifesting my fantastic move to Ashland.

It was then that miracles began to occur, one after the other.

Lo And Behold
As it turned out, my mechanic was selling a mini-van the exact color of one I had wanted. I wasn't even planning on this because I figured it was a half-baked manifestation I wasn't even sure of – but there it was! My husband listed my car on the internet and it sold in hours.

We found a different friend to help us move. In fact, droves of them came out. We found a great place to live the first day we looked in town. The list goes on and on.

My Success
Giving myself permission to throw a huge temper tantrum was a big part of my success.

I let myself vent everything that was frustrating me. I got everything out that was bothering me. I got really, really clear about what I didn't want.

As soon as it was over, I felt like a wet noodle holding a white flag of surrender. I said "I give up". I said "I'm tired of master-minding this, I just want what I want – make it happen". I said "I accept".

Let Yourself Go
So many times we don't allow ourselves the luxury of a great and wonderful temper tantrum. We keep putting a happy face on things until we go right past the movement of anger and down into the dangerous stillness of depression and defeat.

So many times we don't let our temper tantrums go hog wild and run their course like a flash fire. We resist them, dampen them or stretch them out into multiple, small outbursts (also called "passive aggression").

We prevent the real tantrum from releasing all of our built up resistance.

Now this big tantrum may only come when you have a big want you're asking for such as a place to raise your child or a soul mate or the job of your dreams. After all, the resistance is only as big as the want.

For Next Time
So the next time you hit a patch of time where it feels like the wheels are all falling off and everything you've been planning, visualizing and dreaming isn't coming true, remember this.

A no-holds-barred temper tantrum may be the key you need to unlock your feeling of release and abandon so that you can allow your big dreams to come into your life.

A great temper tantrum can uncover what you don't want so that you can get in touch with what you really do want.

And then miracles can happen.
