A recurring theme from teachers, practitioners and learners of the Law of Attraction is the difficulty of ‘allowing’ or ‘receiving’ the results of the request.

The basics of the ‘receiving step’, as Abraham-Hicks likes to call it, is the process of ‘getting yourself into alignment’ with what it is you want. You use your ‘emotional guidance system’ to do this. If a thought ‘feels good’, then you will generally like what manifests from that thought. Conversely, if a thought does not feel good, the physical manifestation of that thought will likely not be a joyous experience.

I know that this is the hardest area for me to get control of. Our ways of thinking have become so habituated over the years that it takes a great deal of conscious effort to break free of the limiting beliefs and rules that are causing the manifestation of unwanted events and circumstances.

For most of us, our daily experience is filled with negative emotion: anger, frustration, disbelief, hopelessness, resignation, and worry. We look around at our circumstances and do not experience exhilaration, excitement, and joy. We see what is there, and respond to it.

To one who wants to be a deliberate creator, this way of spending the day is deadly to the effort to create positive events and circumstances. Time may be spent in meditation and goal-setting, but as soon as that state of mind is released, when one goes ‘back out into the world’, the effects of that deliberate time are diminished or negated entirely.

What needs to be done, then, is to condition the mind toward the ‘good’ end of the emotional spectrum. Yes? How can that be accomplished? The teachers of LOA mostly say that as you progress in your deliberate creation, the well-being feeling will become more prevalent, in incremental stages. My question is can we ‘jumpstart’ this process?

I think the answer is ‘yes’. It seems to me that by using NLP techniques, NAC (Neuro-Associative Conditioning, from Tony Robbins), time-line therapy, or even EFT we can hasten the mental conditioning necessary to using the LOA more effectively.

I’ll be working on implementing this, and on finding more information. I’ll keep you informed of what I find.
