Law Of Attraction: Hey, that's not what I asked for!

Although most of my work is based on the Law of Attraction as discussed in the Teachings of Abraham (tm), I have always been reluctant to directly talk about this concept.  Yes, I'm a chicken when it comes to LOA! 

But I have a compelling reason: My first experience with LOA (before I figured out how to also handle the Law of Allowing) was disastrous...

Initially, I figured that if I "thought positive" about what I wanted, I was sure to win the lottery within a few weeks.  I mean, how hard can it be to only think about buckets of cash?  But it turned out to be harder than I ever imagined...

The first problem I ran into was the thought monitoring syndrome.  Since I wanted to have only positive thoughts, I had to always pay attention to my thoughts and then arm wrestle the "bad ones" away.  A few days of this brought me to the brink of insanity!  Not only is thought monitoring hard but it doesn't work.  Because the other thoughts were still there...I was just resisting them.  And by LOA, resisting a thought attracts even more negative thoughts!  That turned into one big manifestational mess.

The second problem I ran into was the halfway point syndrome  I would experienced terrible disappointment when I worked on something for a couple of weeks without seeing much tangible changes.  That's what Abraham-Hicks calls "taking score":  When you're halfway towards your goal but you start to think about how you're not there yet ("where the hell is my bucket of cash?").  At that point, you are actually turning around, going AWAY from what you want.  I went back and forth for months, with piles of half-baked cakes littering my manifestational kitchen...

The third problem I ran into was the specific form syndrome.  I would focus on something so specific  (such as "Doubling my income in 30 days" or "loosing 20 pounds in 60 days") that it became impossible not to feel bad about it.  First, the limiting belief would come up ("but I haven't lost weight for years, I might not be able to do it anymore").  Then the doubt and powerlessness would pop up to liven the party ("what if I fail again", "what if Abraham is wrong" ...or worse"What if I'm wrong").  Phew, can you imagine how much contrast that created?

Soooooooo, when the times comes for me to talk about LOA, I always want to put a huge disclaimer at the bottom saying: "LOA works but it helps if you know about this, and this, and this".  Which is easily overwhelming to a newcomer to these kinds of concepts.

With all the attention that LOA is getting from mainstream (with the movie "The Secret", Oprah and even Abraham being in the spotlight), I am VERY curious to see how how the crowds will digest this fabulous concept...

Partially to address my own concerns about LOA indigestion, I created the Applied Intuition Program.   This online coaching program gives you all the shorcuts to facilitates a gradual easing into these awesome concepts, so you can feel good along the way and steer clear of the common LOA syndromes I described earlier.  And through the miracle of technology, I was able to customize each concept to the specific emotional state you're in as you read each topic.  No book can do that for you!
