In the area of creating abundance most of the focus is placed on the Law of Attraction. Another law is the Law of Repulsion. I first heard about it when I was reading How to Solve All of Your Money Problems Forever. Victor Boc, the author, makes the promise offered in the title without a second thought.
The Law of Repulsion is founded on a simple concept but very insightful. Many people follow the practices of the Law of Attraction without success and wonder what’s wrong. They think the law isn’t working instead of questioning how their behaviors aren’t working. Boc’s teaching of the Law of Repulsion makes good sense.
If we can attract something to us, doesn’t it make sense that we can also repulse it? Naturally, that does sound logical, but you’re asking yourself, if you really want something, why would you repel it. By jove, that’s a great question. The answer is that the repelling takes place for the most part subconsciously.
If something was not interfering within the attracting process then everybody would have everything they are wanting. Unfortunately, that is not the case. In fact, mostly people do not attract what they want.
That is when the Law of Repulsion comes into play. We send contradictory messages to the Universe. I want lots of money, but I also think only greedy people make lots of money. I want people to respect me but I don’t respect myself. I want to be as thin and beautiful as the celebrities, but I don’t take care of my body.
The piece of the equation that effects this interaction is the amount of energy that is going into each belief? Does the positive part receive the most energy or the negative part? It is that simple. Remember that all life is energy. When the positive receives the most energy, it is attracting and when the negative is receiving more it is repelling.
The dynamic is very subtle. When we measure with numbers, the best case scenario is 100% pulling in and 0% pushing away. A stand off is 50/50. We can say that you must pull something to you with at least 51% of the energy. That would be the worst case situation in attracting. So, the difference is a mere 1% between attracting and repelling.
Fortunately, we can overcome 1%. How do we accomplish that? We look at the positives and negatives of what we want. We fine tune what we do. Is it too simple?
Perhaps, we make life hard. We are programmed in so many ways to think we have to work hard to have something. That’s how the saying, work smart not hard, evolved.
“It’s not worth having if you don’t work for it.” Tell that to someone who just won the lottery. Let me be clear. I’m not saying we don’t have to put energy into what we want, but it really can be simple.
Simple is not the same as easy. Einstein had a wonderful quote, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.”
Are you asking yourself what you’re going to do with this information? Awesome question and here’s an equally fabulous answer. First of all, relax with it. Awareness is the first step toward change. Think about something you’ve desired but have not pulled into your reality. Is the Law of Repulsion operating in some way? Make a change remembering that the change could be as small a fine tuning as 1%!
Should the change require a bigger movement, let’s say 49%, do not let it overwhelm you. This is an appropriate time to remember that baby steps are needed. Be sure to be gentle with yourself and give yourself credit for every step you make toward your desire. When it comes to creating abundance there are two laws, the Law of Attraction and the Law of Repulsion. Be conscious of both!
