New here....and a few questions

[Apple]

Hi All, My name is Michelle and I am new here to the forum, but not new to LOA. I have also been a lurker here for quite awhile. This is such a wonderful forum.

I have been aware of LOA for many years now but could never make it work and I would not stick to it for very long. I have been dedicated to it now for the past 2 years because I believe in it very strongly. I just can not make it work for me very well. Like many I can manifest small things but the bigger things are where I have trouble.

I try to keep positive but remain detached, but the problem is....whenever I start to see results, I become very happy about the situation, but then the situation changes. For instance, I have been sick now for about 12 years. I had Lyme disease  and have never really recovered from it. It has turned into like a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. So I will feel detached from any results and I will start to feel really good and start feeling really happy about it and then boom, I start to feel worse again.

I can seem to manifest pretty easily but then I lose whatever I am trying to manifest. Like the only time I can manifest anything is when I could care less about it.


Any advice for me?

Welcome Michelle!

I can seem to manifest pretty easily but then I lose whatever I am trying to manifest. Like the only time I can manifest anything is when I could care less about it.
Any advice for me?

yes it is usually when we care less about it that we manifest it; but my question is if you feel like you have really manifested it? I mean why would you be "trying" to manifest something you already have? and why would you be losing something you don't have yet?

I believe you may still be stuck in the wanting stage. You are not convinced that you have manifested it yet therefore you are still "trying" to manifest it, and the feeling of losing it comes from your belief that you have not fully manifested it. You feel good for a while and BAM! you feel like it is slipping away. I believe that comes from resistance and believing it may be too good to be true. You may also be feeling a fear of losing it and that has also manifested itself in the feeling that you have lost it.

Are you still attached to wanting it? let go by feeling as though you do already have it thereby getting rid of the negative attachment to still "trying" to get it. Does that make sense?

Welcome Apple 
  Sweet Spirit has some cool advice there!- I love the "why would I be 'trying' to manifest something I already have" - That is a great reminder!

Thank you Pinkypink and Sweet Spirit. 

Yes Sweet Spirit....that does make sense. I think I am still too attatched to wanting it. I think that once I start to see results I start to have expectations and then things go downhill from there. I guess I just don't know how to act once I start to see results.

[Sweet Spirit]

Yes Michelle. Seeing results could definitely get you to feeling attached again. Its like people who become attached to relationships or money. When they attract someone or something (like money) they start to want more than just the initial contact (or the small amount they first manifest,) and they want it immediately. Then they get disappointed that things are not progressing quick enough and they are not satisfied and grateful enough for those small steps or progressions because the progression is not fully to the point of their desire which is a full on relationship (or a lot more money.) That puts them back to the stage of attachment which almost always repels the very thing they were trying to manifest or attract.

I guess you could look at your wanting to attract relief from what is left of the disease in the same way others are wanting to attract relationships or even money. So try this: be and feel grateful that the disease didn't leave you with a worse condition. Be and feel grateful for all the other things that you have  and consider precious and dear. Start there. That will get you into feeling good, thereby detaching yourself from your desire and letting it go. then you will manifest again maybe in small steps, however stay detached and bigger and better progressions will start to manifest getting you to the point where you are convinced you have really manifested your desire. After that, feel grateful even more, but continue staying detached. Have faith in the universe. It wants to align you with your desire and it wants you to have abundance and the good life that you deserve. So be detached handing over your desire to the universe while trusting it will take care of your desire and then return your desire to you.

So how do you act once once you start seeing results? Feel grateful, detach yourself, and trust the universe to deliver even bigger progressions in its perfect timing.
