“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”~C.G. Jung (via @miaverstraete)
The LoA approach is to focus on what you want. Sometimes, that’s a bit difficult – in that case, the common is to feel better (choose a better feeling thought) or to focus more on what you want.
I often find that difficult – shoving aside negative feelings or thoughts, and trying to move to the light.
Instead, I often try to just be aware and notice the negative that already exists in my vibe. I’m not activating a negative vibe – it’s always been there – I’m merely turning the light on. As I stop repressing it and running away from it – when I simply notice it and say “Huh, it’s interesting that that’s here!” it starts to lose it’s hold on me. Now that I’m aware, I can face it head on without being vaguely bothered by something.
It’s similar to a written process from Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain- take a piece of paper and write “Why can’t I get what I want?” and allow the thoughts to come to mind. Sit with your list and see which ones really resonate with you. You can release on those, but the very fact that you notice resistance will begin to let it go.
How do you deal with resistance?
