Laws Of Attraction And Detachment
Effective Detachment - Law Of Detachment

A lot of people want to know the difference between the laws of attraction and detachment. There are also some who want to know what the law of detachment says... as well as those who want to know how can you tell when you're practicing effective detachment.

I've always said detaching from the outcome of your visualization can be a bit confusing and somewhat difficult to put into practice. But please read the article below so that you can gain some understanding about the difference between attraction and detachment.

Difference Between Laws Of Attraction And Detachment
By Anisa Aven

The law of attraction operates on an energetic level - drawing and magnetizing comparable energy; energy and experiences that are vibrationally attuned with our most dominant thoughts. When we desire something, we launch a vibration that begins to bring that experience into our lives. However, desire alone is not enough to complete the vibrational creation. It's when we take our thoughts to the level of 'allowing' that our dreams can solidify and materialize.

The law of detachment says that we must relinquish our attachment to our desire in order to manifest it. Let's look at what detachment is and what it is not. We are attached when we feel that we will not be satisfied until or unless we get what we want (our desires fulfilled) therefore we are 'attached' to the outcome. Desire alone without faith, willingness, confidence, acceptance, expectation and/or certainty yields a vibrationally descending or repelling space. Desire alone is NOT enough to manifest our dreams.

Detachment Does Not Require That We Give Up Our Desire

Detachment is not apathy or indifference. Effective detachment never feels negative - ever! Effective detachment feels freeing! When we are successfully detached from the outcome we feel like the Universe has our back; like all is well; like we can trust in our greater good; like we are absolutely certain that all that we desire is already ours.

Seeing and feeling what we want in our hearts absolutely supports the conscious creation of the life we desire. However, if we see it and feel it during our meditation but then later in the day continue to acknowledge 'we still don't have what we want', then we counter-act the very creation we launched earlier. We are STILL applying the law of attraction, but we are attracting the opposite of what we 'desire' and the opposite of what we 'envisioned' earlier.

Laws Of Attraction And Detachment
Having Subconscious Thoughts That Resonate With Fear

For example, I have a friend that owes back taxes. We spoke about her manifesting the money to pay them off and how wonderful it would feel to be financially free. As we were discussing her living vision, it came out that what she wanted was "to not have the pressure of this debt."

Unfortunately, the vibration of 'back taxes' and 'pressure of debt' is so incredibly negative that it's a real challenge to get into the space of, "all is well" and "I am financially free."

As you can imagine, even though the desire is strong for financial freedom, as long as the subconscious thoughts are resonating with the fear of the back taxes, then the desire ALONE is not enough to attract resolution.

This Is Where The Law Of Detachment Comes In

It is essential to intentional creation to get into a feeling place of peaceful expectation that what we want is already at hand. As long as we are 'attached' we will continue to focus on the negative aspects of what we don't want and the fears that come up as we doubt our ability to manifest.

Effectively applying the law of attraction requires both desire and acceptance. Practicing the law of detachment is how we can accept and expect what we desire. The two laws work harmoniously to support us in effectively applying the power of our minds and the universal laws of creation.
