Manifesting Always

'Manifestation doesn't work' and other myths...

I was mindlessly scrolling through Facebook the other day (because I shamelessly love my socials!) and came across an ad for...I don't even know what, actually. The image was a nicely dressed lady draped across a stone wall somewhere tropical looking, with a glass of champagne in hand.

I was intrigued to see what she had to say (being open minded and willing to learn has always served me well!), but she lost me in the first few sentences. '8 years ago manifestation stopped working for me.'

Now, of course I kept reading (mostly because I was shocked that someone who was promoting themselves as an expert on Universal Laws had the audacity to say that 'manifesting' stopped working). Her story was (and still is) a bit of a head scratcher for me.

Manifestation, as you will know if you have done some research on it, is governed by the Law of Attraction. There are some who claim you can accelerate your results using 'active' LOA, some who swear by incorporating more Universal Laws into your practice, and those who modify their practice in their own special ways.

The Law of Attraction is a universal law, stating that a thing will be attracted to that which is likened to itself. Or, simply put, like attracts like.

If you are happy, joyous, grateful, excited and living in a state of positive energy, the universe will put the circumstances, situations, people and opportunities on your path to attract more of that into your life.

Similarly, if you are grumpy, anxious, stressed, tired and sad, the universe will put the circumstances, situations, people and opportunities on your path to attract more of that into your life.

The Law of Attraction is like the law of gravity, in that it is never switched off. It is ALWAYS at play. We know this to be true about gravity because we see evidence of it every day. It is tangible. Pigs don't just fly by the window. If I drop a pen, it will hit whatever is below it. The law of gravity never fails.

The same is true of the Law of Attraction! And if you have ever spent time living your best life by consciously harnessing the power of the Law of Attraction, I am absolutely sure you will have noticed the same result. Beyond a shadow of doubt, it is ALWAYS at play.

So here is the thing. If someone says to me that 'manifesting' stopped working for them, I am assuming that what they are saying is that they have lost their way in using the Law of Attraction consciously as a co-creator in their own life experience. They are operating from a place of unconscious reaction. And they are not seeing the results they would like because they are not doing the work.

But does this mean LOA has stopped working? That 'manifestation has stopped working'? Not at all. Remember, LOA is ALWAYS at play. It simply means that they are getting back what they are putting out there. (Like attracts like). They are not liking what they are seeing, and this can end up a bit of a spiral. They are unhappy with the events they are witness to in their own life experience, leading the universe to put the circumstances, situations, people and opportunities on their path to attract more of that into their life.

LOA didn't stop working. They did.
