Grasping at The Law of Attraction? Do This Instead and Enjoy Success
Kristopher Raphael

What is wrong with its seeking the pleasant and shirking the
unpleasant? Between the banks of pain and pleasure the river of life
flows. It is only when the mind refuses to flow with life, and gets
stuck at the banks, that it becomes a problem. By flowing with life I
mean acceptance - letting come what comes and go what goes. Sri
Nisargadatta Maharaj, I Am That


If you push someone what happens? Chances are they will push back. If
you grab someone's hand and pull them, what happens? They pull away
from you. If someone is needy and is grasping at you for your love and
attention, what do you do? Most people pull away. Grasping at
something you want can actually stop you from having it. Repelling
something you don't want, can make it push at you even harder.


People grasp and repel in many arenas in life. They grasp at things
they want. They grasp at receiving pleasure. They repel people and
things they don't like. What they don't realize is that the constant
grasping and repelling, not only creates the outcome they don't want,
but puts them in a lot of stress and drains their energy.

In personal development, grasping and repelling will stop you in your
tracks. You can' heal something you avoid looking at. If you avoid and
deny that you have an alcohol problem, for example, the problem will
persist, or get worse. It is only through shining the transformative
light of awareness on something that it can heal and be integrated.

If you wish to manifest your hopes, dreams and desires and activate
the Law of Attraction, the best state to do this in is being in the
flow of life. You must allow what you desire to be, not grasp at it.
Grasping at something implies that you don't have it. If you don't
energetically have it first, you won't have it in form.

When you allow both the good and the bad without grasping and
repelling, you enter into the the powerful flow of the now moment that
flows through self and all of life. You naturally move into a state of
well being that is more aligned with your desires manifest, activating
the Law of Attraction.

There is a powerful Japanese martial art form called Aikido. Ai means
harmony. Ki means spirit. Do means 'the way of' or 'the road to'. In
other words, Aikido means 'the way of harmonized spirit'. The key
difference between Aikido and other martial arts is that you don't
repel or block a person attacking you, you flow with punch or kick,
using the energy of their momentum for yourself.

Do this in your life and you will have more energy to manifest what
you wish to manifest. Instead of resisting things you don't like and
pushing them away, simply allow them to flow through you and
dissapate. This puts you in the universal flow of life as you move
into living in the now moment.

Be aware of where you are grasping at things in life. Imagine having
your desires manifest. Grow the sensation of your desires manifest in
your inner world. Do this without grasping at them and you allow them
to move from being to having. Grasping prevents the having. For
example, if you wish more abundance in your life, imagine yourself
being abundant. Imagine what you will buy, what you will do, and most
importantly how good you will feel with your abundance. If you are
grasping at it, it means you don't yet have it. Let the grasping go
and have it in your inner world (your thoughts, feelings and
imagination). As you do this you open the door to having it in your
outer world as well.

Living in the Flow has other advantages. One obvious one is that when
you are not repelling or grasping at things in life, you have more
energy, and less stress. You are more relaxed and because of this are
able to get more done in less time. One can only surmise that living a
relaxed, stress free life with more energy would be better for your
health and longevity.

Want to increase your well-being and more powerfully activate the Law
of Attraction in your life? Be aware of where you grasp and repel in
your life. Consciously let the grasping and repelling go. Allow
whatever is to be. As you do so, you begin to live in the Flow where
all good things reside.

Remember what the Hopi`s said it is time to let the river take you on the journey you need to let go of the river bank and follow your course

Once again at the river bank
all others deep in sleep.
It's not much of a fording place,
but from rock to sandbar I'll leap.

Up over a ridge and then the next
I shall have to climb
in finding that valley
where vistas are sublime.

The morning Sun awakens the village,
a firey ball rising in the east.
Never to look back down again,
as I care not in the least.

All will be but a dim memory
after cresting this lofty ridge.
With more rivers to cross,
without a ford or bridge.
