Manifestation and The Law Of Attraction have been one of the hottest topics of the decade. So why isn’t everyone rich and famous yet?

Of course there is something to be said for thinking positively, focusing on our goals and aligning with what we want to achieve in life, but have we missed a step?

The Law Of Attraction is about becoming the creator of our own reality and taking control of our own lives and experiences. What if instead of taking control, we released it?

When we surrender our control to the universe, we may first begin to experience things crumbling in our life and seemingly going wrong. This is what tarot readers would refer to as “Tower Moments”. These Tower Moments happen for two reasons, the first is to show us what wounds or traumas we need to heal and let go of and the second is to release everything negative from our reality BEFORE bringing in our blessings.

This is kind of like moving into a new house, there’s no point waltzing in and lighting scented candles and decorating it with beautiful flowers if the house is still dirty and full of garbage from the previous owners. It would be better to remove the garbage first and give the place a good spring clean before lighting the scented candle.

This could look like the loss of a job or a partner that has a negative impact on you, leading you to find a better one that you might have otherwise overlooked. It could be that you start opening your heart up and allowing any suppressed emotions to come out. This phase is like a purge.

Once this purging phase is over you will start to receive ideas through your intuition. These ideas will come when you’re relaxed and receptive, not when you’re sitting with a pen in hand trying to come up with them yourself. This is because the ideas are being RECEIVED by you, not CREATED by you.

You will start to receive one piece of the jigsaw puzzle at a time, this will lead to a plan much bigger than you could have ever dreamed of by yourself and will open up your intuition in the process.

What is the difference between The Law Of Attraction and The Law Of Surrender? The Law Of Attraction comes from a state of output, you are the one deciding what you want to have or achieve from your own mind. The Law Of Surrender comes from a state of input and receptivity to ideas created by a higher power.

How can you achieve a state of surrender? By letting go of control, letting go of desire, letting go of the need to change anything in your life and practicing acceptance of your current situation. Every morning write down the following statement “Universe, I am willing to surrender, let go of my old paradigm and drift into a new one. Please show me the way to my highest timeline”, then you let go of control and trust in the universe to show you the right way.

Where The Law Of Attraction THEN comes in handy, is that you will be aligned to things that resonate with your vibration. The end goal is to be full of happiness, gratitude and excitement so that you can align with exciting things. You don’t need to force this to happen instantly because it is important to go through the process of healing and releasing first.

This path may take a little longer and it may sound less exciting than the instantaneous idea that has been created around The Law Of Attraction, but much like the house that was deep cleaned before lighting the scented candle, the outcome will be worth the additional effort.

Happy Manifesting!
