Have you heard the saying - BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR?
It is a reminder to be careful that you have looked at what is involved in actually receiving your wishes and that you MUST be clear as crystal on how you want those wishes to work. This is because there is always an element that we can never be prepared for. Wanting the love of your life may get you the person of your dreams but it will also come with the possibility of ill health, financial losses, trauma and heartache which will NOT be perfect. It doesn't mean that you have failed but life hands us unexpected pockets of drama that we could never expect to have to deal with.
With all 'laws' is it never that simple and we always look at the good things that can come out of those laws and never the more complicated aspects of those laws.
The Law of Attraction has been around in many different forms before the movie The Secret was ever released - you can find the threads of the main components of it in books that were published much earlier.
That's not a bad thing - putting those ideas into a new way of looking at it has given a lot of people insight into how they can feel far more empowered to make better decisions for themselves and I really approve of that.
I am always for looking into self improvement - I am also very much looking for information that is grounded and adaptable to real life situations.
So on Magickal Manifestors I will be reviewing that Law of Attraction in January and open a discussion about how it can be used to facilitate changes that can improve your life. I will also talk to you about limitations, maybe not necessarily in the laws themselves but in all of us just because we are having human experiences.
Here is the first part.
The Law of Manifestation
The Law of Manifestation is the foundation of the Law of Attraction.
This law tells us that what we hold in mind tends to manifest.
If we hold in mind fear and imagine terrible things, our life will tend to go in that direction.
If we hold in mind beautiful thoughts, feelings and visualizations, our life will tend to feel that we have more opportunities to flourish with opportunity, love and meaning.
Our minds are powerful, and the Law of Manifestation is based on the power of the mind.
Like attracts like, and so, the more we are embodying thoughts and feelings of joy, wealth, service and love, the more we will create and attract opportunities that bring even more joy, wealth, service and love into our lives.
This is a beautiful opportunity for expansion of our minds and to stop living in fear of failure, fear of self sabotage, fear of never being loved, fear of financial disaster, fear of losing that which we hold dear and all the other fears we hold on to in our lives.
This fear is paralyzing and will always be holding us back. We do need to work on these fears if manifesting change is to work for us at all.
Everything begins with an idea - and those ideas need to come from a good place within ourselves.
They need to be ideas that make goods things happen and not allow bad things to keep happening. But we can only control our own ideas and not anyone else's. So here is where the difficulties can start.
You cannot control everything that might effect your manifestations that are coming from others in your world. Let's be real here.
You can try to say no and to move away from those who wish to cause you harm and be hurtful and that want to have your manifestation fail. This may not always be possible. But you can always keep learning to manage the self talk and thoughts that run around madly in your head every day.
This is the first magickal shift you can make when learning about manifestation.
Controlling your negative thoughts - no one else's, just your own.
And that's not about getting it right all of the time either because most probably you wont - but it's about realizing when you are starting the negative rollercoaster ride and stopping it more and more often.
That you CAN do.
So what you are wanting to manifest is clarity, self love, acceptance of your human faults and commitment to your own resilience and strength to continue to be there, every single day, for yourself in 
spite of what the outer world throws in your way.
