(Part 2) Top products from r/lawofattraction

Here is two things that you can do to help

• Who do you love, I mean really love? Think about those people, think about the happy times. Love is one of the most powerful emotions out there is and could jump start you out of the challenge you are experiencing.
  
  
• The second thing I would recommend is a book I was giving by our group leader called "Tapping the Healer Within" by Roger Callahan. It is a technique that can wipe out blocks in your body tapping certain pressure points. The nice thing about the book is it explains using scientific research how this works so if you have any doubts at first you can use that as a reference to build belief. I use the index of the book all the time to find certain patterns for different feelings to de-program my mind and bring myself back to normal. Hope that helps.

I would recommend The Secret, but truthfully more as a form of dramatic entertainment. If you want concrete information, Raymond Holliwell's Working With The Law is the single best book I've ever read on the subject. I discovered it from watching a video featuring Bob Proctor, who himself is in The Secret.

The two other primary books I would recommend regarding the LOA, are Pam Grout's E Squared and Bracer Jack's Law of Attraction: The Technical Manual. I can't give you a link for the latter because I don't have one; although I have it in my Kindle library somehow, it apparently isn't for sale any more. I'd still encourage you to try and find it if you can, though; AFAIK it only exists as an ebook.

Also, if you're going to watch The Secret, make sure you get the version of it with Esther; which I think is on YouTube.

You may be trying to make too big of a jump; if money is an area that you really struggle with, declaring that you're wealthy will just remind you of how wealthy you aren't. Maybe what you could do is, when you hear your inner dialogue 'correcting' your affirmation, you could take a moment to acknowledge that that is just your old way of thinking resurfacing. You've only been recently introducing these positive thoughts of abundance into your way of thinking, so it makes sense that your old habits of thought that you've been thinking for way longer are going to take some time to dissipate. It's only to be expected really, just tell yourself 'that's just the old me piping up, not the new me.'

Personally speaking, I think affirmations only really work if they actually cause you to feel what you are speaking. If telling yourself that you are rich doesn't actually make you feel abundant, look for examples of abundance in your life and appreciate them. If you focus on abundance, you will attract more. Also, something I read in a book that I found really helpful was to sit and think about how much money exists in the world. This is the book it's from, it's really short it's more of a pamphlet honestly, I really recommend it for people who have scarcity complexes in regards to money:

> Why is the feeling so centered in my heart area?

Because heart chakra is related to love.

If you want more details, read about chakras. https://www.amazon.com/Wheels-Life-Chakra-System-Llewellyns/dp/0875423205 is a great book.

I don't have it to hand, but I once bought a book by an author, Randall Fitzgerald, who wrote about some similar stuff Lucky You!: Proven Strategies for Finding Good Fortune.

The link I had to his online writing no longer exists but, if I remember correctly, he told a story about his win at a casino after he had done some affirmations for intuition before sleeping and then waited until he had a dream which he took as a signal to visit a casino and play on a particular machine. If you Google his name with some luck related keywords you might find a copy of his articles somewhere.

Oh my goodness thank you for taking the time to share all of that!

I am very interested in this. Often when we are working with affirmations or new beliefs it is like forcing the new positive belief over the old negative one. And people can have a very hard time with that, not believing the new chosen belief/affirmation because the old one "competes" in a way.

What you are describing sounds a lot like some of the therapy techniques of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Inner Child Work.

CBT: states we have a hierarchy of types of thoughts and beliefs, ranging from shallower/more on the surface, "automatic thoughts" which are based on more deeply held "core beliefs" - "I'm not good enough" or similar, and they are all interconnected, and the automatic thoughts we have fleetingly throughout the day, or our inner monologue, represents these more deeply held (and often flawed/dysfunctional) beliefs about ourselves (ex "I'm unlovable"), others (ex. "Others will hurt me, so respect the worst"), the world (ex. "things always go badly for me"). CBT just works on fixing the thoughts, not with figuring out where they came from. I personally find this approach lacking. I needed to understand why I had negative thoughts and beliefs, not just try to change them.

Psychodynamic therapy involves going backward to identify where in childhood our beliefs and coping mechanisms and ways of relating to ourselves, the world and others came from, to gain understanding of the source and then modify as needed.

Inner Child Work is very similar to what you are talking about and its about relating to that hurt "child" part of us that didn't get what they needed in childhood and now feels hurt and scared (etc) and how to step in as our own "loving parent" and to reframe these experience and provide to ourselves through compassionate inner dialogue and self care what we needed then and now.

Pete Walker has a good website on this and what he refers to as "emotional flashbacks"
http://pete-walker.com/pdf/emotionalFlashbackManagement.pdf

Also coming to mind is a book called "The Presence Process" by Brown who gives a detailed program for "integrating" old stuff by going backwards and identifying where our negative beliefs come from.
https://www.amazon.com/Presence-Process-Journey-Present-Awareness/dp/1897238460/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1520080673&sr=8-1&keywords=the+presence+process

In my experience you don't have to be overly particular about how far you can go back and how precise you can be. Even if you can identify a general theme or feeling, and track back to when you recall that feeling in your childhood to identify where the belief might have come from: ex,: "My mother always checked my homework, and that made me think I must be stupid or untrustworthy" - then that's enough to realize where something came from and start to undo it, saying to yourself, "No, I was fine and smart. I got all As and some Bs. My mother was just overly concerned with how our family appeared to others due to her own insecurities. That had nothing to do with me. I am smart and I am trustworthy."

Again, thanks for sharing all you took the time to write, and I think if you are interested in this sort of thing there are others resources that cost less than $5000 you can look into do do similar work.

"Healing your aloneness" by Chopich and "Inner Bonding" by the same authors are also good books with a similar theme.
https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Your-Aloneness-Finding-Wholeness/dp/0062501496/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1520080700&sr=1-1&keywords=healing+your+aloneness

https://www.amazon.com/Inner-Bonding-Becoming-Loving-Adult/dp/0062507109/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0062507109&pd_rd_r=AACBA3RGXQS6G568WF8W&pd_rd_w=WEflm&pd_rd_wg=99z8l&psc=1&refRID=AACBA3RGXQS6G568WF8W

My therapist taught me a 4 step process to do this when something happens that triggers me feeling those old negative beliefs:

1. How do I feel?
   
   
2. What does this remind me of?
   
   
3. What decision did I make then?
   
   
4. What decision can I make now?
   
   
   That process was immensely helpful to me to journal on events to rewire my negative beliefs that were based in old experiences.
   
   Namaste!

Yep, and often for something new to blossom, something old has to fall apart to make space!

I have a theory that my big life changes keep happening to me in these ways become I'm stubborn, lol. Instead of being constantly in the flow, I get attached to my idea of how things should be. So eventually the Universe is like - "Fine, if you won't move on, I'm gonna make you!!" And bam, my job falls apart and it's temporary chaos.

By the way, a great book about this is The Surrender Experiment by Michael Singer! It's about how he went with the flow of life, and how he went from being a yogi to a millionaire tech CEO. The synchronicities in it are amazing.

> finding science based evidence for law of attraction, mind over matter, and we are all one consciousness etc and I think we are now entering a new paradigm where science and "woo-woo" are finally meeting.

This statement is spot on, I couldn't agree more with your suggestion that we are approaching a "new dawn" of understanding of ourselves and how we are all inter-related. Reminds me of this book I read back in college called Linked: How Everything Is Connected to Everything Else and What It Means for Business, Science, and Everyday Life.

I feel that the Law of Attraction is a very powerful and real thing and I fear that many may loose faith in it when things don't go their way straight off. Too often we seem sort of stuck on this idea of instant access, on-demand type of solutions to our problems. There doesn't seem to be a more guilty party than social media who dresses up everyone to be this version of themselves that they want the world to believe.

Without backstory my biggest problem with meditation is the fact that I had been involved in an accident earlier last year. The injury renders my right leg nearly worthless and while it is still fully intact and whatnot, I cannot bend it more than 45° or so. Does being unable to bend certain ways destroy the idea of meditation or yoga as a whole?

Thanks for your comment as well. Your knowledge of LOA is as impressive as your proper grammar. Something I only one day dream of having. Thanks again! (:

Not having a specific picture of what you want to manifest can prevent a lot of this resistance, and attachment, because you have not yet set your sights on anything in particular. Don’t feel pressure to formulate some picture or some super-specific desire; don’t worry about coming up with a very specific visualization overflowing with detail.

LoA will forever be something you study and apply to your lifestyle. You will have to spend some time getting to know you. I have a book I want to recommend. I was having the same issue as you are now. I didn't really know what I wanted to do with life. I read this book and it forever changed me. It helps you deal with so many different things.

Joe Vitale (from "The Secret") wrote a book about this called "Zero Limits" (https://www.amazon.com/Zero-Limits-Secret-Hawaiian-System/dp/0470402563), and the story you mentioned is in the book. Ho'oponopono is a great technique to learn. I use it to clear "bad vibes" picked up from people and to help me reprogram unwanted mental patterns.

Read the Celestine Prophecy!

This book changed my life.

My Big TOE weaves everything together in a coherent big-picture framework that eventually makes a whole lot of sense, but you have to be willing to re-examine much of what you think you know. Kindle edition is also available.
