Where Law of Attraction Goes Wrong Bonus Replay EP 229

In my book, Make Space for Magic I talk about the law of attraction and how it can be somewhat toxic.

There have been horrible events recently and in the Magic Lounge we’ve had comments and questions about people “attracting” violence or harmful situations.

Is that really a thing?

Additionally, the next thought process is: if they attracted their situation, then is okay or acceptable for us to look away?

There are a lot of beliefs around this which is why in this epiode, I’m sharing what I believe and how I’ve come to understand this for myself. My hope is that it clears up some misunderstandings and gives you a new perspective on this often mis-understood concept.

Using the law of attraction to impact our ability to change our vibration with our thoughts, can only happen when we are not in “fight or flight” mode. People in disadvantaged communities or in an unsafe environment, don’t have the ability to raise their vibration to relieve their circumstances.

What if these people are in these circumstances so that others (like you and I) have the chance to help them? Fundamentally I do believe that we are here to play a part in the larger community when opportunities are present.

If we want to use the law of attraction to keep from looking at the pain of others, it’s often from a place of fear. The fear of other’s pain, and the fear that we have when we don’t know how to help or feel powerless can keep us in a place removed from love.

It isn’t our job to “save” others, but it can be our responsibility to be an ally. Where do you feel called to help? You may be the person who can aid someone else to move out of fear so they can see their own potential.

Did I attract this?

If you are feeling blame or shame around your circumstances, wondering if you’ve invited this into your life, I invite you to look at it as something to be released. When I embraced my debt (for example) and stopped resisting I was finally able to begin to release it from my life.

You can get more insights on my personal journey around this in the book, Make Space for Magic.
