One of the most important recent developments in the self-help or self-development arena is the rediscovery of the Law of Attraction. As we get into the advanced state of living using the Law of Attraction willfully in our lives, we know the benefits of visualizing, affirming, and attracting what we aspire. Likewise, we are taught the way to instill our desires with emotion and power. We discover how to lift up our vibrations via joy-filled thoughts. And more importantly, we now know how to align ourselves harmoniously with the situations we want to come into fruition.
Of all those important steps, there is another major crucial element in the process: allowing. Allowing is a comprehensive stage in the process of creation. It is understandable if it is sometimes perplexing to those who have not been exposed to this concept.
Just a hundred years ago, there was only one way of life: hard work. I am just an ordinary guy who descended from generations of hard workers: lobstermen and fishermen, lighthouse keepers, factory workers, laborers, farmers, seamstresses, midwives, nurses, housekeepers, and civil servants. It can be said that people of my lineage were extremely proud of their knack to roll up their sleeves and do a hard work to bring in daily food on the table – as well as clothing and shelter. For these generations, hard work was considered to the epitome of living. People then got no resentment – as they took hard work as natural as breathing or sleeping.
Because of this orientation of my ancestors, I came to know that nothing is free in life. Once I desire for something, I got to grind and work for it. Sure, this kind of spirit build our nation and we should be proud of the great contributions our forebears sacrificed for us. It is simply foolishness if we try to weaken the achievements of those who pioneered the way for all of us.
As we probe more deeply into Law of Attraction philosophy, the more we grasp that there is another way. Though some would describe it as a better way, it is simply an alternate conduit to the same goal. And what is this alternate path? It is ALLOWING.
As we all know, action or implementation is a must at the foundation levels of conscious creation. It is imperative that should learn the right ways to visualize our desires, affirm our belief, up our vibrations and come into the right configuration with the goals so it can manifest in our lives. We have to take action in order for the new circumstances to form into reality. For instance, we could harder to accumulate more wealth or join a dating site to supposedly meet the right partner for life. Surely, these actions are still relevant and may even be critical. However, we have to modify our belief that the only way to make our desires come true is to “do” something.
Let the idea of allowing come in into the picture. Consider this scenario: after all the visualization, affirmation and expression – we just simply let go! Will there be something to happen. Using physical-plane logic, it would be easy to assume that nothing will ever transpire. We must ALLOW the power of the universe to manifest precisely what we really desire. This is exactly the enormous beauty and potential of the Law of Attraction. We have the choice not to make things happen by ourselves alone — we can plainly let the great universe bring our desires formed and smartly wrapped in a beautiful big package with a ribbon on top.
Let us discuss on ways to “allow.” And there are basically three critical factors to allowing:
1) No more leaning heavily on the “how.” Certainly, this could sound to be against the very nature of the creation process as we stop maneuvering the results. Well, at the beginning, yes. But eventually we will realize that the more we manipulate the outcome, the less for things to be in our side. By deliberately skipping the HOW, the great universe will manifest our aspirations and affirmed the outcome we wanted. In fact, there’s no more call to beg, manipulate, or control the many factors involved they are already in their finest and perfect form. Just simply let go and rely that the universe will bring it to us in the most beautiful and advantageous ways possible.
2) Blot out the concept of the “when.” Naturally, this is quite hard to do because we all want things to be done or given to us right here and then. It seems that people don’t want to wait for divine intervention or something similar. We should know that the very impatience we are manifesting can derail the very process we want to speed up! You might be asking, why? Wanting it right now, we put ourselves into “wanting.” Remember that we produce what we focus on the most! Focus on wanting – and we generate more want. By using affirmation that our desires will eventually manifest at precise time sequences, we involuntarily focus more on trust and faith. If we start believing deeply that our heart’s desires are coming to us, then they come more promptly.
3) Always be thankful. Though it is hard to appreciate when we’re not fulfilled with our lives, , it’s all circled around the things we focus on and attracts with. Get this orientation on your consciousness: the more we appreciate, the more we magnet beautiful things to come to us. Start with something tiny and obvious. Every day when you awake, say aloud something like, “I am glad for the opportunity to live one more day. I appreciate all the convenience I experienced last night. I’m thankful for the hot shower and clean clothes I have today.” While we are grinding our day, let’s pause to appreciate the things all working for our benefits – that is, no matter how small or inconsequential it may seem. After repeating this process over and over again, you are inculcating to yourself the mindset of gratitude mindset. And this mindset will soon start attracting additional things to appreciate.
Does this mean that there is no need to work hard? Can we just sit back and “allow” the universe to deliver everything to our doorstep? Answer: yes and no. After you master the concept of allowing – you need to take inspired actions. After we willfully expressed our desires and aspirations to the benevolent universe and we successfully begun “allowing” them into our lives, the universe will show us the way towards what we want – instead of just expecting the blessings to literally fall from heavens.
As illustrations of this point, some people might be stimulated to set up a business, buy a winning lottery ticket, go to an inspiring lecture, read a book, or any other actions. If we start acting as quick as we can, circumstances usually alter its course leading for opportunities to emerge. In most cases, these opportunities generate opening that lead for our desires to manifest plainly, simply, and speedily.
Please take note that an inspired action must never be agonizing or hard. On the contrary, it must be magnificent and stimulating – meaning you should feel excited and enthusiastic to do it. This is the way to know if a specific action is an inspired one.
Let go, relax, and start allowing the creation course to unfurl exactly as it should. If you feel the inspiration to do something – then utilize that opportunity to do it. Otherwise, you have to trust that the universe has something good ahead for you.
Believe and you will start to reap the fruits of your faith!
