You often hear people say “rules are made to be broken”. Even though it sometimes is meant as a joke, people often are serious. They feel it’s ok to break rules and as long as they aren’t “caught”, everything’s fine and dandy.

When it comes to the Universal laws, however, there is no breaking them. Take the most known one – the Law of Attraction – for instance. How would you break the “Law”? By focusing on the things that you don’t want all the while expecting what you want to show up in your life.  The Universe does not respond to words – “I want a million dollars”. It responds to your feelings, your vibrations – “I have so many blasted bills to pay, I’ll never get anywhere since I just don’t have enough money”. Even while writing this I could feel the frustration and even despair that would be in someone’s voice if they were saying that. Those are the emotions. There’s frustration, despair, helplessness, anger, depression, disappointment, etc. These are what the Universe responds to. And, as such, this is what you will receive – more lack, more bills. Why? That is the Law – you receive what you ask for and by concentrating on or focusing on the lack, the bills, that is what the Universe thinks you’re asking for – more of it.

“But I can’t escape reality” you say. “The reality is that I have all these bills ad I’m NOT making a million dollars nor do I see how I ever could. How do you expect me to believe and focus on that?” I don’t. I know that it would seem unrealistic and unbelievable for you to believe you have a million dollars when you have a load of bills to pay. You can’t lie to yourself. Well, you could lie to yourself but you wouldn’t believe that lie. So how do you keep from breaking the Law.

You change what you’re thinking about and focusing on. If you’re ill and have a less than desirable diagnosis, you won’t be able to change that just by making an affirmation. So, you have to find something else to focus on – that Kodak moment I keep referring to. When you are thinking about something that makes you feel good or accomplished, then you build up your momentum and your entire body energy alters and that energy will go about working all throughout your body to try to facilitate manifestation of health.

Bottom line is that you stop breaking the law by “going” someplace else. If you go to your “reality”, then you will have to struggle to try to change your negative emotion and turn it into positive energy. That’s next to impossible since the power of your resistance is amazing. So don’t even go there. Go to a happy, satisfying and successful place. Remember all the posts I’ve written advising you to stop telling your story? Even if you can’t find a Kodak Moment (although you should have plenty of them stored up to pick from), talk about something other than your story. If it’s a health issue, don’t think of healing. Think of yourself as healthy and whole. If you think of healing, that is still addressing lack. If you say you need to be healed, you are recognizing that you are not healthy right now and you are focusing on that lack of health. Instead, just think about and visualize yourself as healthy.

Learn the rules, the Laws. Then you have to apply them and work within their rules. You can’t be saying that the Law doesn’t work because it hasn’t made you a millionaire because that’s not true. What is true is that not only have you most likely been focusing on the fact that you are NOT a millionaire but you’ve also been ignoring the Law of Gestation. You don’t plant a seed and then every day dig it up wondering why it hasn’t blossomed yet. You know how long it will take until it’s supposed to grow, break the surface and bloom.

These Universal Laws are NOT made to be broken, nor condemned nor criticized. You must follow them in order for them to work. Monitor your thoughts, monitor your words and find something to focus on other than the areas you are experiencing resistance in. You’ll know resistance by the way it feels – if it feels uncomfortable and like a struggle, then you have resistance.

These Laws are universal truths just like the Law of Gravity. You have to follow them in order to be successful! Listen to yourself and your feelings and you’ll know what to do.

With summer coming (or finally here for some) let’s enjoy it and not start complaining about how hot and humid it is for another few months or so, ok?

Sorry, couldn’t help that because we’ve had such a long winter and people have been complaining (including me) about how cold it is and how long and drawn out the winter has been.

But we humans frequently have a very short memory and after it’s been hot for a few weeks (or days in some instances), we forget that it wasn’t very long ago that we were wearing 10 layers of clothing to keep warm and building muscles shoveling snow.

Unfortunately, our short memory extends to other aspects of our life. We tend to forget how great things have been and focus only on what’s going “wrong”. It’s really our responsibility to find those “Kodak Moments” and burn them into our memory for future use.

When you wake up in the morning before you get out of bed, find something satisfying and enjoyable to think about so that you can develop your momentum on a high plane (a high flying disc as Abraham would say). Think about your pillow, about your bed, about how comfortable and special you feel just lying there in bed. Don’t reach too deeply. Don’t even reach for someone next to you because that’s liable to remind you of something that happened yesterday that could bring your momentum down.

Sleep halts your momentum. It quiets your mind just as meditation does. That’s what you want in order to start up momentum the way you want it. You want to start over in a sense. Since your mind has been quieted and the momentum engine has been shut down, you can put the key in the ignition and start a new, beautiful and satisfying momentum up in the morning. When you get out of bed see how long that high flying momentum lasts. Initially it might not be very long at all. But if you keep practicing this every morning, after a few weeks or a month or so, you’ll be amazed at how it carries you through the day.

Try it tomorrow when you first wake up.
