I stumbled across the law of expansion accidentally more than 20 years ago, when
I was
working with a client to improve her financial situation.
My client had a problem with debt and never had any money left over for the
things that were important to her. At first I worked with her on a purely
practical level by creating a budget and allocating money toward debt reduction
but this didn’t work. Then, one day I asked the magical question, What makes
you feel prosperous?
She rearranged her budget so that there was some money for things that made
her feel good. Her first choice was to buy flowers on a regular basis. These
flowers became the first thing she saw when she opened her front door and they
made her feel good. Once a month we added in a new item. This is important
because your intention is to expand what you allow into your life. She started
carrying $50 in her wallet, previously she never had any money. She did up one
piece of furniture at a time, bought curtains for one window and the changes
that occurred in her life as a result of this were incredible. Within one year
her income trebled and she still worked for the same employer. This happened
because she said, she no longer felt deprived.
The law of contraction gives just the opposite result. If you are like most
people when you feel afraid, you contract. See if any of these examples apply to
you:
Whenever you don’t have enough money you cut back this could be a personal
or business situation
If you have a problem you withdraw into yourself and cut yourself off from
people
When you have been let down by someone you decide not to trust again
If you have been hurt you decide not to open yourself emotionally like that
again
If you have a debt problem you avoid your creditors
You avoid confrontation
When you have a problem you become paralyzed and do nothing
You bury your head in the sand
The law of expansion draws what you want to you. The law of contraction takes
you away from what you want. However, it’s easy to misinterpret.
Many years ago, when I experienced constant financial problems I would go out
and spend, thinking I was invoking a universal law, but when the credit card
bill came in I worried about how I would pay it. On the other hand there are
many entrepreneurs who have found themselves in difficult financial situations
and gotten themselves out of trouble by expanding. Buying a company that has a
strong cash flow is a common business solution. Tony Robbins’ business was
about to go under and he decided to expand instead and completely turned it
around.
You may wonder what the difference is between the two, and it all comes down
to how you feel. If you have financial problems and you spend responsibly and
feel good as a result of this choice, then you invoke the law of expansion. If
you spend and you worry about how you are going to pay for it, you invoke the
law of contraction and that is because you can only manifest from a place of
feeling good. For many, many years now I have always given more whenever money
has gotten a little tight. It’s my way of invoking the law of expansion.
If you meditate or go on a retreat in order to connect with your spirit, this
invokes the law of expansion. If you withdraw in order to avoid conflict, or a
problem, you invoke the law of contraction.
To get this law working for you start adding things into your life that make
you feel good, then at least once a month, add in something else. These items
don’t have to cost money. I love books and I used to spend a lot of money on
books, I now buy my personal development books, because these I like to refer
to, and I treasure them. Most (not all) fiction and biographies I borrow from
the library. If you love beauty you can go for a walk in a beautiful area. If
you love eating out but don’t have enough money to do it as often as you like
go out for coffee and desert. You can find a college that teaches massage and
have a massage from a student, in my area this costs $35 which is about half the
normal fee.
Look for ways to bring more of what makes you happy into your life on a daily
basis and you will find that manifesting the bigger things in life becomes quite
easy.
