Becomes a Dominant Thought
Whenever you have consistently focused upon a subject, causing a consistent vibrational activation of it within you, it becomes a practiced dominant thought. And once that happens, things that match it will begin to manifest around your dominant thought. In the same way that your earlier thought was joined by other thoughts that matched it-now things that match your dominant thought will begin to show up in your experience: magazine articles, conversations with friends, personal observations... the attraction process will become very apparent. Once your focused attention has sufficiently activated a dominant vibration within you, things-wanted or unwanted-will begin to make their way into your personal experience. It is Law."

So, for one (positive) example, i start talking and thinking about massage in relation to treatment for people with spinal cord injuries right as i start a class at The New School for Massage called Special Populations. Next, i happen to grab a Massage and Bodywork magazine off my shelf that has an article called "Appreciating Clients' Health Challenges." Then, a friend mentions a friend of hers who became an LMT just to be able to give a massage to his brother every day to help with his Cerebral Palsy. Things keep coming to my attention that correlate to working with this specific population, including an idea that could become patented and sold to massage therapists who work with people who use a wheelchair.
When it had been first mentioned to me that i might try to receive unemployment after losing my job in August, something in my gut said "no!" and it wasn't pride. The idea that i might not have a job, within the time frame allotted by my savings, was disconcerting at best. While i was reading the passage above it dawned on me that if i constantly focus my attention on the fact that i do not have a job, it will continue to be a fact in my life. So, all of the energy that i use to think about unemployment, keep track of my job searches, and deal with the hassle of paperwork not having been done correctly, the more that vibration of not having a job will resonate and i will continue to feel negative emotions that are out of alignment with who i really am. On the flip side, if i focus on finding the job that is perfect for me right now and do visualizations and focus on all the positive emotions that go with it, then that will be my dominant thought and vibration.
i think that the most important lesson being learned by me from this is that i have to rely on/trust my gut instinct, even if i do not understand where it is coming from. i so far have not received any unemployment payments, due to complications, but also have not decided whether closing the claim would be the right decision. until i receive further insight, i will hold true to my grocery store wisdom and "stay in the first line that i pick."
Yeah, I never know about my faith or anything, but sometimes things all really do seem to happen for a reason. I think us happening = good.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have been able to find a job that fits you perfectly, but moreover I hope that you stayed true to your inspiration to focus on massage for a specific population. It sounds like you have a calling and keen desire to work with and for people who have chronic pain. Not many people are willing to take on such a challenge - well done!
ReplyDeleteHi, just out of curiosity have you found a job that you love yet? it so bizarre that i stumbled across this entry. i googled 'law of attraction unemployment', i have been having stomach pains so have decided to cut out gluten (which is why this google result stood out) and ten minutes before i was googling low stress jobs and massage therapist was mentioned a few times and jumped out at me :)
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy that you just happened upon this post and all the synchronicity going on with you right now! I wrote this post 2 1/2 years ago, and life has had many ups and downs since then. I found a couple of part time jobs shortly after this but then I seriously injured my wrist in January (at work) and had to have two surgeries. It is STILL in litigation and I am STILL in pain. I had to drop out of massage school at the halfway point right before my first surgery. A year after this post, I got back into Nannying, which I had sworn off after one job ended in heartbreak. I am now in Denver, I moved here for nutrition school which I could only afford one class of so far. I had some crappy retail jobs here and am back to Nannying again. My main family is a perfect fit for me! I have an idea for starting my own business, just not sure how to make that happen.
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend getting checked out by a doctor before going gluten free! They need to determine if you have an allergy, and intolerance, or Celiac Disease. If you go gf first, then this will make it impossible to figure out unless you go back on gluten. I hope you can get good medical care and solve your problem! I had a hard time with doctors and do not have a true diagnosis but I have been gf for over 5 years. I recommend cutting out processed foods before gluten and to keep a food journal.
Low stress jobs sounds like an oxymoron if I've ever heard one! Hahaha, I hope you find the job you fit perfectly with. Oh, and I wouldn't call massage therapy a low stress job.
