All right, finally I have a chance to continue on a topic I mentioned a few days ago: Weirdness and Law of Attraction.
As I’ve mentioned in my last several posts, I’ve been having some strange experiences lately. Black bears practically knocking on my back door, the brakes on my husband’s truck failing while I was driving it, and then a deer dashing in front of my car and narrowly missing leaving her butt-print on my windshield!
When things like this happen to Law of Attraction practitioners, their first response might be, “How am I attracting all of this? I’ve been keeping my thoughts and feelings in alignment with GOOD things, so what’s going on?”
In my experience, this is usually the result of residual negative energy.
Remember that we are always living the residual results of our PAST thoughts, feelings, beliefs and actions. So even if you’ve been “good” with your focus for weeks, it’s still possible to experience some negative things for awhile until that old negative energy plays through. I like to call it a “burning off” of the old to make way for the new!
When I look back through my journals over the past few years, I can see very clear PATTERNS in my life’s manifestations! Here’s what it usually looks like:
1) I start with a negative situation.
2) I set an intention to attract something better.
3) I begin improving my thoughts, feelings and beliefs.
4) Things start to get better and I feel like I’m making progress.
5) Out of the blue, things start to go wrong again – sometimes in very bizarre ways!
Let’s stop here for a moment, because this is a pivotal stage. Depending on how I react to these “things going wrong,” different outcomes will ensue.
6a) If I slip back into my old, negative ways of thinking and feeling in reaction to these negative events, I will continue on a negative slide until I’m right back where I was in the original negative situation.
6b) BUT – if I refuse to invest energy and focus into the new, negative events and continue with positive thoughts, feelings and beliefs, the “bad stuff” eventually plays itself out and dissipates (usually within a few days, or sometimes weeks) – and I am suddenly thrust into MUCH better circumstances, usually through events that seem almost miraculous the way they come into my life.
Has this ever happened to you? I know it does happen to other people, but I don’t see it mentioned a lot. But it’s SO IMPORTANT to understand, especially if you’re new to working with the Law of Attraction.
When things start to go wrong again, it would be easy to think, “This stuff doesn’t work; I’m just wasting my time!” And if you do that, you’ll reverse all the positive energy you’ve sent out toward better circumstances. You need to keep pushing forward with your new, positive ways of thinking and being in order to fully burn off that old, negative residual energy.
How does this residual energy manifest? It can appear in any number of forms, but here are some of the forms I’ve experienced before:
- Illness
- Accidents
- Arguments
- Mechanical failure
- Electronic failure
- Financial upsets/emergencies
- Job loss
- Relationship meltdowns
- Depression
- Nightmares
And more – basically there are endless ways this negative energy can come through into your physical world, and sometimes it will happen in more than one way simultaneously! Like your car will break down AND you’ll lose your job around the same time. Or you’ll get sick AND your boss will demand that you put in a large amount of overtime – when you’d rather be home resting! Or your washing machine will break down, followed by your microwave, and your furnace! Yes, this negative residual energy can hit in more than one place at a time and pose a real threat to your new positive state of mind.
However, the important thing is how you REACT to these new, seemingly negative events. If you go back to thinking and feeling negatively, you’ll only exacerbate the problems. But if you can stay emotionally detached and just deal with them the best you can while still keeping your positive focus, the bad stuff will finish burning off and you’ll find yourself moving forward MUCH more quickly and easily!
That’s where I am now. The weird experiences have stopped, my husband was able to fix the brakes on his truck at minimal cost (it was a brake line that cracked and broke open, spilling all the brake fluid out onto the road!), and some wonderful things have been happening that convince me I’m nearly ready to break through to the next level I’ve been focusing on. Soon I’ll be sharing those details with you, but not quite yet!
If you’ve been experiencing some residual negative effects, HOLD TO THE PATH! You’re almost there! As long as you don’t get all freaked out and “emotionally invested” in the negativity, it will pass sooner than you think. Stay positive, stay focused, visualize and believe you already have what you want – and it will come.
