Story: Trust and the Law of Attraction
by Danea Horn
The Law of Attraction absolutely requires trust. You really have to believe and trust that it works to see results. I myself have fallen in the trap of not trusting the process when my intentions don't manifest immediately. This is how it starts:
1. Send out an intention.
2. Deeply feel the feelings you will feel when it manifests...feel them now in the present moment. Could be: joy, prosperity, love, etc...
3. Feel great that you know your life will be shifting.
4. Wait. Nothing shows up...
5. Doubt that the feeling you generated in step 2 was strong enough to manifest anything because nothing has happened yet.
6. Let doubt creep in that the process doesn't even work.
Did you notice that in step #5, the feeling shifted from one of joy, prosperity or love to one of doubt or frustration? Ahh...all of a sudden you find yourself focused on manifesting more doubt which further delays your original intention. Sometimes when this happens I have been known, in the past, to end up in a frenzy of desperation over trying to change my life, and nobody wants to manifest desperation.
This summer I was focused on manifesting a new home. I was visualizing looking out the window into a forest of trees and feeling a deep sense of peace and security. Around mid-July my husband and I decided to make an offer on a home we had seen 5-months earlier. Were we settling? Was this house going to give me the feeling I put into the Universe? I honestly didn't think so.
Through 30-days of escrow we secretly wondered if we were making the wrong decision. Then all of a sudden we were living here and I fell in love. I looked out the window and realized I had the EXACT feeling I had visualized earlier. Rather than doubt the LoA, I needed to trust that the process works every time.
