Effortless Manifestation and the Backwards Law

What is the backwards law in manifestation?

It is the effect of too much effort. When we really want something we might try very hard to get it by any means possible. There seems to be a law of physics that means the more you want it, the further away it moves. How many times have we seen this in our own manifestation efforts? It’s illogical and it’s strange, but it also happens to be true.

When it comes to manifesting with the law of attraction or the law of assumption, it’s first important to note that less is more. Less strive, less stress, less push, less searching for the result. Not so much less do. We can comfortably take action towards a goal without feeling all of the above. It’s never about what you do, only about how you feel about what you do. Hmmm, confused?

This used to frustrate the hell out of me. Why were people teaching it if you couldn’t work for it? If you had to be in a less wanty state. I wanted lots of thing and I wanted them fast. I didn’t have time to look at how I might lighten up on those desires and myself come to that. I am by nature, very impatient. I don’t like queueing, even if I’m next in line!

But really understanding this phenomenon and working with that knowing has not only changed my life but changed my anxious waiting nature. I am no longer as impatient as I once was. I appreciate the journey over the outcome. Sometimes it takes me a moment to shift my mindset, but eventually I get there. It’s crazy how the mind simply cannot let go of control and tries its hardest to make you see the error of your ways. Don’t believe what the mind tells you. It wants the familiar, it’s comfortable there. It doesn’t like the unknown so it attempts to keep you where you are, where it knows you are relatively safe.

How Can You Stop Wanting it as Much?

The best way to lighten up on it is to do life as it is right now. You need to go with what is and know that something else is on the horizon. Of course it is, you have ordered it! All we really need to pay attention to is the clarity around our desire. What do we really want and is there any resistance around it? If there is, we need to take another look. Can we eradicate that resistance? If we can’t, we need to change the desire slightly to accommodate that resistance. We could spend time looking at ways to dissolve it so that we can stick to the initial intention, but I have found that it’s far easier to change the desire slightly with an intent to lessen the resistance so that I can go back and change it again if I want to. Resistance can be anything from a compromise you might not want to make to a nagging feeling of it not being right for you. To make it simple: Resistance = anything that doesn’t feel right, that isn’t just a pure wish for that thing.

It is often said that life was easier when you didn’t know about manifestation. I hear it a lot as I work in the industry. On one hand, yes, life is easier when you don’t know about it because you let things go and not obsess over anything because you have no idea that the law of attraction exists, so why would you waste your time? On the other hand, think of what you could do with this knowledge if only you practise it as a skill over trying to get this thing or that person….you’d be a master manifestor!
