Just curious if anyone else in this community is spiritual or into LoA type beliefs? I was raised in a very agnostic type family, but was always taught and believed in concepts like karma, energies, etc. So I have always had this mindset that the energy you put out is what you get in return. I have seen this manifest in many ways in my life, and am always working on leveling up myself and trying to be receptive of what the universe has to give me in return. However, I will admit I've been in a major slump lately and don't know why. It's like I'm doing so much work and mindfulness meditation practices, but still get thrown a bunch of crap and I'm trying not to lose my faith. So many people in this world just don't do the same work on themselves, and it's discouraging to me. It's almost like the more you level up and raise your vibration, the harder it is to manifest other people because there simply aren't many others on your vibrational level. And therefore, it's harder to keep my energy positive when I start to feel let down by the world around me. Just kind of rambling here 🤷🏼♀

I do! But in a Winnie-The-Pooh, live without attachments type of way. I put my desires out into the universe and I believe they will come true- but I don't obsess on them or worry that my life will fall apart if they don't. I like to focus on the present and set small, achievable goals that inevitably lead to bigger, better ones. A while ago I made a vision board that hangs on my wall and I can tell you, I've achieved almost half of what I put on there!
But...
Law of Attraction can be very damaging if you're not doing it right. You can't just expect something for nothing- you've got to put work in. I've known men and women who have gone into debt because they fell for "passive income" nonsense. I also worked with a woman who was a PITA because she thought the way to get clients was to just will them into existence (in other words, she left all of the work to me- then claimed LOA was working when I got us clients 🙄).
Just focus on being positive and watch out for all the scammers online who will give you REALLY bad advice.
I understand what you’re saying. My mother is very much into energies, auras, karma, put out good and good will return to you etc. she’s never been discouraged by the world around her, even when terrible things have happened. Because she got through them and she is still being that good, happy presence for the most important person- herself. She refuses to dwell on anything. And she knows eventually that the good will return to her, even if she doesn’t notice it right away or it’s taking a while to get back to her. But everyone’s still allowed to have a bad day and I hope you allow yourself that grace. Being good and positive 100% of the time, even when you feel like shit isn’t gonna be healthy either. You’re not gonna fuck up your energy if you let yourself feel anger or sadness or discouragement for a while. You can’t change other people, you can’t make anyone better themselves, just put all that mental energy into being grateful you’re doing it for yourself.
The "FDS Love Spell" should be somewhere on here. Oh, it works 😍
While I'm not completely sold on some of the LoA stuff and try to do as much of the work on myself as possible, I will say that lately I've been feeling great about myself (I've been doing a lot of self-work this year already) and just walking around with an added air of self-confidence that I've never had before. In these last few weeks I've been noticing that the looks/responses/interactions I've been having with men and women as I walk by or interact with them has shifted so much in a positive way and I attribute that to my own self-work and boosted self-esteem. So I do think it does work in some way, it's pretty cool to watch it play out!
I am a spiritual person, but I'm not into LoA-type stuff. To me, that has always seemed like prosperity gospel without the Jesus. (Or often, just with slightly less Jesus. Neville Goddard, for example, was explicitly Christian.)
I think the underlying concept of focusing on good things, being grateful for what you have, not focusing on what you lack, being what you want to see in the world, generally keeping a positive mindset, etc. is good. But I think LoA specifically quickly devolves into "well if you're not manifesting everything you want you're just not spiritual enough." And that can cause spiritual slumps and crises of faith.
I do! But not Law of Attraction, but the Law of Assumption, which is a different premise.
