"Why Did I Attract THIS?"

That's the question we all need to ask all the time. Many people have seen "The Secret" (and if you haven't seen it, please go to www.thesecret.tv and watch it) and have been studying the Law of Attraction, so they're starting to be conversant in some of its principles.

In my practice as a psychic medium and medical intuitive, I am starting to notice that my clients don't get the whole picture of just what this attraction thing is.

Simply stated, the Law of Attraction is a law of physics that applies to your life in that what you put your attention on is naturally drawn to you. Most people look at this law thus: "How can I attract more money/love/etc.?"

And that is great. That is the best use of the Law of Attraction and if you are consistently attracting things, people, relationships, and experiences that please you, I congratulate you! That is fantastic!

Unfortunately, that is not the case for about 99% of us out there. Most of us continue to attract at least a few things that we're not too crazy about and here's the kicker: NOBODY KNOWS THEY'RE DOING IT.

By focusing our attention on things, experiences, relationships, and feelings--that we like or do not like--we attract them into our lives.

You read that right: THAT WE LIKE OR DO NOT LIKE. Everything in your life right now, like it or not, has been attracted to you BY YOU. Ta-dum! You are the author of your own life, so I hope it's a book you really enjoy reading.

Just this past week, I have talked to three clients who were actually offended when I suggested that they had attracted experiences into their life that they didn't like. "Why would I attract THAT?" they demanded. "I don't want THAT, it's BAD."

Right, I get that. I understand that you don't consciously want car trouble, health problems, bad grades, bad breath, or whatever. Who would?

And that's exactly why you need to ask, "Why did I attract THIS?" Anything that gets your attention for better or worse, ask the question.

Here's a dire example. My husband died several years ago and left me with two small children to raise and very little life insurance. Why did I attract THAT?

Why indeed. I may never know all the reasons, but I know there are some, probably many. And with some of these larger things (and maybe the small things too), rest assured that, at some point before your birth, your spirit got together with other spirits to plan some of the important events you wanted in your lives as humans.

This is why we sometimes have trouble understanding-we don't communicate with our own spirits very well. It's why we attract both things we like and things we don't.

The good news is that, once you recognize that your thoughts and energy have created what you've got--you have all the power to create what you DO like from here on out. (Subscribe to my newsletters at http://www.sistermystic.com/ and get my free report, "12 Woo-Woo Tips You Need for Living in the Real World". It covers some of that.)

Easier said that done? Absolutely. Impossible? Not at all.

I've just urged you to ask the question, "Why did I attract THIS?" for anything you encounter that is not the best possible thing. (It's a good idea to ask the question for those things you like, too, so you learn how to bring more of those into your life.)

And here's another lesson in this seedy underbelly of the Law of Attraction: what about undesirable things that happen to other people who are in your life? Well, they are in your life, so you have attracted them, right? Parents, children, spouses, etc. So what happens to them is part of your life too.

Let's say that your spouse contracts an illness. Did your spouse attract this illness? Yes. Did you attract this illness to your spouse? No, BUT you attracted an ill spouse into your own life.

Aha! Do you get that? So the illness itself, as a THING, is serving multiple purposes for multiple people.

"Why would I attract THAT?"

GREAT QUESTION! Please continue to ask it.

There can be any number of reasons why you would be served by your spouse's illness, to wit, an opportunity to care for this person who has given you so much, proof to yourself that you are strong and capable in the way you deal with this, an urge to make changes in your life... the list of possibilities is endless.

If you are asking the question "Why did I attract THIS?", and the answers are hard to find, a good psychic who understands the workings of the Universe and is also a medical intuitive (such as yours truly) will help you figure out just "Why did I attract THIS?"

I hope you were hungry, because this is a lot of food for thought.
