LOA : Resistance

[Precious]

Have you heard the saying what you resist, persists? When you understand how the law of attraction works you will realize that what you resist and how you resist will only cause it to continue in your life. If you push against something, by the natural law, it will push back against you.

Today I've found an interesting paragraph in an article :

Recognizing resistance is 80% of the battle. The other 20% is watching what you think and feel about your desires. Once you can lessen resistance, you desires will manifest more clearly and quickly with the Law of Attraction.

What do you think about this ?
Is really resistance 80% of the battle ?
What are you personal experiences with resistance ?
Any good articles for a better understanding of resistance ?

Describing it as a "battle" is not really that good of a idea.. though it is a battle in a way..

I honestly think beliefs are the halting mechanism for everything.. they are our "blame" system for loa..

I really wanted to fly.. but damn that "belief" of gravity

I'm not sure there is a secret success method that works for all.. be positive, keep at it.. never give up

What I would say of the methods outlined is.. if they resonate with you?? did you feel good when reading it?? maybe get a shiver.. if that's the case for you.. then it'll work good for you

I like this approach of "do what works for you"

I like how you explained it about when you hear it or read it, "how did it make you feel"...

I think it's because resistance, in and of itself, touches more aspects of your life than just within the context of manifesting. It enables negative feelings, doubts, regrets, fear, low self-esteem, anger...all of them individually potent manifestation killers on their own. But in combinations, very, very bad for conscious manifesting.

So if you can study how to eliminate resistance, you are, by default, eliminating 80% of what could potentially de-rail manifesting.

Resistance is the ego's way of trying to control the outcome.

Try EFTing it away. Something like "Even though I have resisted my own intentions up until this point, I choose to relax and release this resistance."

I've been doing that every day (or some version of it) for a few months, and it definitely works. Focus on relaxing, releasing and letting go. AFter you spent a few minutes on this, gently shift the focus to your intent. If the resistance is still there, tap it some more.

it sure is, you hit that on the head, it is is trying to control the manifestation.........resistance is the opposite of flow....

I had a nice sync yesterday where I am manifesting something in my life, I had spent the weekend house sitting on this amazing country house....I was relaxed in flow, feeling amazing, yet I was heading back to my own place, This is a place that makes me feel YUCK...I know in what I am asking for but the urge to resist what is here is strong...anyhow I am driving along and I decided to get myself into a space of niceness before I stood foot in my house...I was saying out loud, universe I need a lovely thought so I do not resist my present...and still keep flow...


Well at that exact moment I said that I look up and the car in-front of me had tags ALZWELL


WOW! all is well???? that's a great thought, so I tuned into it, felt it, got home and walked into my house knowing that all is well. Things are still being manifested for me, and there is nothing I need to do but know all is well and flow....

Resistance ... There are different possible approaches here.

One way is to hammer your way through the resistance by brute force, eg by the repetitive use positive affirmations.

One way is to sneak past the resistance using bypassing strategies, eg by hypnosis.

One way is to systematically unravel the resistance by logically examining your own limiting beliefs, deeply scrutinising your assumptions and identifying all their flaws.

Sedona Method and Arjuna Ardagh and Bill Harris suggest that if you just notice the thought/feeling and look at it in the full light, it will go away.

If we concentrate on positive thoughts, we are pushing against the negative thoughts. This will never end.

Just looking at them disempowers them. Then, you are left to your happiness, your faith and good things happen. We made a mistake in our accounting last week and were a little stressed about it for a moment (or two ), but let it go. Soon, that very morning, we had a phone call from Citi Morgage to tell us that they had a lottery. They put our name in a barrel and we were one of the winners! Our mortgage rate on our second mortgage was lowered by half! So, on the second mortgage, we no longer pay $576/month, but $300 something!! At the same time they were calling my partner, I was at the Motor Vehicle Dept. to renew my license. The mailing had said that it would be $90, but when I finished, they asked for $50.

So, even though the money that we intended didn't come into the website, it doesn't any longer have to go out of the bank account!

We have just been so excited to watch how the Universe is so clever about how it takes care of us.

Hello ALG, I find that if I have found a limiting belief that is blocking manifestation, it doesn't mean that the belief is gone. Sometimes it stays 'active' so to speak. What can one do in such a situation?
(Relie on the other two methods you mentioned, or is there something else).
