The Law of Attraction, although an ancient and ever-present part of the fabric of the physical universe, has gained lots of attention lately. You may have noticed!  Whatever the reasons this good for all of us, individually and collectively, as it challenges us to take personal responsibility for our actions and beliefs.  Even though some decry the focus on financial abundance, I believe this takes us all in a positive direction, since to truly utilize the Law of Attraction you need to focus on abundance of all kinds, for all people, healing dysfunctional thought and behavior patterns along the way.

Here we discuss a principle you need to master as you delve into creating your life consciously and using the Law of Attraction to create wealth and abundance:

The Art of Allowing

If you've ever wanted something so badly it burned you up inside and consumed your every thought, you may be surprised to know that you were working against having it. If you are so yearning for and wanting something and it's driving you crazy and you can't stop thinking about it, you are actuallypushing it away from you.

When you cling tightly to things you want in your mind, not only do you severely limit how the Universe can deliver them, you also keep yourself in a perpetual state of want! There is much said in Law of Attraction circles about visualization; you are told to picture your desires in your mind with crystal clarity and focus. Define it, you are told, and it will be yours…but there is a trick. The trick is ALLOWING, which is along the lines of being open to receive but is somewhat different. It means letting go of your desire, andknowingthat it is coming. All the lack-based thought mentioned above is generated by the fear that you actually may not get the thing you desire; you question the Universe, yourself and your ability to create, and maybe even your own beliefs – you wonder if you are being silly.

The Universe, via the Law of Attraction, delivers exactly what you think about; it matches your physical world with your thought vibrations. The fact is there is a huge difference in vibration between wanting something badly and defining what you want and feeling great about it. You need to create the feelings ofalready having it, so that the Universe can match you up with that! Luckily, it is a skill that can be developed.

It may seem ironic that it is not until we let go ofwantingthat we canhave. However, it makes perfect sense when we put things in the perspective of vibration and the Universe's response to that…if you are vibrating‘I want that car soooo badly I can see it, taste it, smell it, feel it, why isn't it here yet???'you are actually attracting frustration, lack, and more of that state of WANT. The Universedoes not judge. It only responds. So if instead you are vibrating‘That is my car. It feels sooo good driving it, and I am so happy to be finally enjoying this dream. Yaaaahhhooooooooooooo!!! Thanks, Universe!!'thatis when the car will come. No questions about how it will come, or when…just letting go and trusting that it is here, and you know exactly the feel of it…and being grateful for the adventure.

So, are you allowing your creations into your life, or pushing them away?…
