“Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart”
-Psalm 3:4
During the February season of love, our spiritual family here at the Unity Burbank Center for Spiritual Awareness has taken up a month long study of the Law of Attraction. For many followers of practical spirituality and metaphysics, the first question that comes to mind when considering the Law of Attraction is: how can I use this law to get the things or the love that I desire? This month, however, I would like to encourage you to view these teachings with fresh eyes and begin with a new set of questions:
What is your heart’s true desire? Who influenced you to want the things you desire?
No one likes to consider the fact that the thoughts they think, or the ideals they pursue, may not originate from within their own being. As a member of a global society, you are constantly exposed to other’s ideas about what you should want, what should make you happy, and how true love should look and feel for you. If, when practicing the Law of Attraction, you set your thoughts and intentions to attract things or people into your life simply based on popular opinion, you may very well find that you are not at all satisfied by what you eventually manifest. Instead, if you take the time to meditate, connecting with the Spirit of God within, you will open yourself to manifesting at a much higher vibration. In this space, you can quiet the noise of outer persuasion and become clear about the things that truly bring you joy. Perhaps your heart truly desires a 2,000 square foot dream home instead of 5,000. Perhaps your heart’s true love is someone who shares your passion for world travel, rather than someone whose wealth and status impresses your friends. Perhaps your dream job is one that offers you the most flexible work schedule. That may be more important than a large income for you. Whatever it is you seek to bring into your life through the Law of Attraction, be sure that the desire, and all the details that surround it, have originated from within your own soul. Only then will you manifest a life you will love to wake up to each day.
