Guilt and the Law of Attraction

By Sherry Winn

None of us would want to attack ourselves because what person loves the outcome of beating up on himself, right?

Most people would link the word “attack” to a physical act like slamming a fist into a wall or kicking a door. Others might think of an addiction to drugs or alcohol, or something a little more innocuous like an addiction to chocolate or caffeine. We might all agree these acts are labeled as attacks against ourselves.

But what about guilt? Do you consider guilt as attack against yourself?

Guilt has been viewed as something positive. It creates the needed punishment so we won’t choose the wrong path again. But is it the way to forgiveness, or is it simply of means of re-punishing ourselves and keeping ourselves stuck in misery for something we’ve already learned?

Guilt is the result of believing we are not worthy. Standing in guilt we cannot reach positive vibrations. We are separate and disconnected from love. Love is the highest vibration we can seek, and guilt exists on the low vibrational end of the spectrum.

A Course In Miracles states, “What guilt has wrought is ugly, fearful and very dangerous. See no illusion of truth and beauty there.”

We want to avoid negative emotions because we know they are the opposite of all we desire. When we feel bad, our energy vibrates at the wrong frequency causing us to attract the very thing we want to avoid. We create what we expect and invite those experiences into our lives. When we expect punishment, which is what guilt is, we experience it.

Recently, I was working with a young man, Justin, who is on the journey to becoming a professional baseball player. He understands the power of the law of attraction and works diligently to stay in alignment with his dream, but he also allows his guilt to attack his desires.

Even though Justin leads the league in batting, he began to doubt his talents. He said, “I feel if something is off in my life, I psyche myself out, which is my ego telling me I will not play well because I’ve made a mistake. The guilt sends me into a funk of unworthiness and I lose my ability to swing a bat.”

This is the power of the ego. It attacks with guilt and creates fear even when facts point in the opposite direction. The ego attacks our faith and shoves us out of positive vibration. As soon as Justin allowed guilt to enter his mind, his swing of the bat diminished.

How did Justin realign himself with positive vibrations to get his swing back? He took the same steps you can take:

1. Remind yourself the ego wants us in guilt and wishes us to bow down to a lack of faith.
2. The ego is the opposite of all you are.
3. You come from Source Energy.
4. As Source Energy, you are entitled to all good things.
5. Strength is the truth about you; weakness is an illusion.
6. When you fall into the ego’s trap of illusion, you are not aligning yourself with who you really are.
7. You are Source Energy and a creator in your life.

When we allow guilt to rule us and to shove our faith of goodness out, we attack ourselves. We create separation from who we were meant to be. Once separated, we can no longer feel positive vibration. Positive vibration is alignment with ALL that is good.

You came to this life experience to re-remember who you really are and to align yourself with all that is good. You are a creator and as such, you get to choose where to live your life. Guilt is a choice as is love. Love is connecting to your desires while guilt is attacking yourself. You came from love; it is your origin. Let go of guilt to experience your desires.

Finding Success With the Law of Attraction

By Sherry Winn

Does the law of attraction work? Absolutely. When it fails to work, it’s not the law that is the issue. It’s the way it’s being applied.

The law of attraction cannot work if there is an underlying belief that goes against what you desire. If your conscious mind desires a new $500,000 house, but your subconscious mind believes you are not worthy of living in a $500,000 home, your subconscious mind wins out every time.

In a coaching session this week, a client said, “I am so sick of being positive. I’ve tried being positive, and it doesn’t work. I’ve tried this law of attraction stuff, and I’m still stuck. I’m still living the same life I have been living despite reciting affirmations every day.”

She was ready to throw in the towel until I asked her to examine why she thought the law of attraction wasn’t working. I prodded her with questions until she admitted she didn’t believe she was worthy of having what she wanted. Her subconscious mind was overruling her conscious efforts. She needed to shift her paradigm.

It is not enough to say affirmations, have a vision board, or visualize. You have to change your internal belief system. If your inner landscape consists of the belief that life is hard, scarcity is real, there is not enough to go around, only some people make it to the top, or you are constantly being punished for your imperfections, then your subconscious mind is driving your boat. It is why you are going around in circles rather than moving toward your goals.

In order to receive, you must create a shift in what you believe. In order to receive abundance, you must believe that abundance is part of our package. It is available for all people to have. It is not based on talent, luck of the draw, or genes. It is a gift from the Universe. We all have the opportunity to receive it, and if we fail to receive it, it is because we haven’t yet made the connection to the understanding we are meant to live in joy, happiness, love, and financial abundance.

This shift in paradigms means you might have to separate yourself from what your parents, religious leaders, or the actors on reality shows have taught you. How do you do this? You consciously create new habits of thinking.

Tony Robbins said, “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.”

My client kept doing the same things expecting different results. She believed if she kept working harder at doing the things that weren’t working, she would make them work. Working harder doesn’t change reality. If you keep practicing the wrong things, you just keep getting better at getting worse, which in turn creates a negative attitude. It is not about working harder; it is about working right. It is about doing the right things to create the results desired.

How do you create a shift in your beliefs? You create new habits of thinking by:

  • Reading books that promote abundance such as “A Course in Miracles.”
  • Using guided abundance meditations on YouTube.
  • Listening to people like Dr. Wayne Dyer, Abraham-Hicks and Deepak Chopra.
  • Seeking out people who have experienced success using the law of attraction.
  • Asking yourself what limiting beliefs you hold, and then using different techniques like Ho’oponono or Emotional Freedom Technique to let them go.

Take a moment to do a gut check. Are you failing to get what you desire because you have limiting beliefs holding you in limbo? If so, you are the answer to your dilemma. The answer is always you. Make a shift in your paradigm so you can receive all you desire.
