I believe there is grace for people who are actively asking for help (vibrationally) and doing the difficult work to face their limiting beliefs and let their stored emotions come up mindfully. I may come at this from a sort of Christian background, but I’ll explain what I mean, and I’m not out to convert people. I imagine everyone reading this article is on the narrow road of self-improvement in these ways already anyway. But, I’ll explain what I mean and maybe it will be helpful.
So many people who hear about the law of attraction think that if they have emotions of fear, that means that they will attract something awful, something they fear. You may even have seen people joke that they “fear” having lots of money. This is a common misconception of what the law of attraction is. I’ve written about how the law of attraction is misunderstood (even by some who say they believe it).
When you are afraid you may attract situations that bring up that fear, but if you go with the flow, and are not resistant, the end result won’t be bad. You are likely catastrophizing which means the fear you’re currently experiencing is actually the worst it will get.
It’s the resistance that hurts us. A leaf may float in the breeze or ride a current on a river. It’s unresistant and can have a pleasant trip. But if you are like a rock (or get stuck up against a rock) in a river and the day gets windy, you will have large waves pressing against you. It will be a completely different experience. If you’re a Christian, the wind in that example is the Holy Spirit.
John 3:8 The wind/breath/spirit blows where it wishes. You hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the wind/breath/spirit.”
The word for sound is also noise, and it makes me think of the word “vibration.” The word for spirit is the same word used for wind and breath. We feel the wind currents and can go with the flow or resist it.
But, for the non-Christians, you can view it as the universe or your subconscious knowing what’s best for you. And, it is best for you to face the limiting beliefs you hold. And, it is best for you to get rid of the negative feelings that have been stored in your body (put there by past resistance). I call it emotional vomit, because those things are toxic, and the body has a natural desire to get rid of toxic waste you don’t need.
Your subconscious mind knows that and keeps bringing you into situations that can trigger those emotions so that you can “vomit” them out. When you’re feeling sick to your stomach and feel the need to vomit, you hate that feeling. But you inevitably feel better when you get it out of your system. “Better out than in,” as Shrek would say.
