Working and understanding the Law of Attraction takes serious practice and faith. Although it is positioned to the masses as a simplistic process via films like The Secret, ( “you mean if I think about a gold necklace, I will get a gold necklace?”) working with the Law of Attraction is actually an ongoing ebb and flow of trust, focus and realignment. Our emotional vibrations are consistently changing. Learning to respond to the various waves of energy our emotions create within us takes serious concentration, understanding, trust, meditation, and reflection.

So what happens if you have been building positive momentum for a while and you attract a big opportunity? You can feel this big opportunity unfolding in your favour already as you allow it to vibrate within you. You are in alignment. You attracted this good thing, and of course, it is going to flow into your life, because you have been putting in the work. And this opportunity happening will mean that the Law of Attraction works. The universe is giving you what you want. Be it a job promotion, a love connection, a client, a financial pay off, this is a chance to uplevel your life in a pretty big way.

And then the opportunity slides through your fingers as quickly as it came.

Your high vibe hits a dead wall. You did not get what you want. Or even worse yet, someone else you got what you wanted. The universe saw fit to send this opportunity right over your head and into the hands of someone else or obliterated it entirely.

You may start to think the Law of Attraction is a bunch of nonsense OR you may find it very difficult to find alignment after feeling as though you have been thrown to the pavement. You crashed, hard. You are on a very low vibrational plane.

Data Collection

There are two ways we can work with missed opportunities. The first is from the perspective of Data Collection. As you start to increase your vibration, you will naturally begin attracting bigger and bigger opportunities. Stop and take stock of where you were and the types of opportunities that were coming your way before you started focusing on your vibrational frequencies. Has the magnitude of the opportunities that have started to land on your doorstep grown? Most likely.

The fact is, the universe IS working with you. Being presented these big opportunities is a crucial step in learning and growth. You are expanding your ability to receive bigger and better things every time an opportunity comes your way.

Think about it. Every time a situation is presented to you that gives you the chance to view yourself receiving something big; such as a part in a play, or a big raise, you are expanding your own view of yourself, your worth, your power. You are visualizing yourself in these bigger positions by going through the motions of moving towards the opportunity that is presented, thereby expanding your mind’s eye and your ability to receive, all in preparation for what will be coming your way soon.

As we move through the process of becoming aware of bigger possibilities for growth, financial gain, relationship status, we can view these as practices in visualization, that will help us attract the big opportunity that is meant for us.

Take these opportunities and their surrounding circumstances as an excellent time for data collection. Download all the information you can from these experiences to help expand your ability to receive when the time is right.

“All Opportunities Aren’t Dried Up”

Abraham-Hicks says that it is inevitable that our vibrations will be affected when we seemingly miss a big opportunity, but it is important to remember that all opportunities aren’t dried up. There are so many opportunities coming your way that getting bogged down with one that has passed is simply not worth the shift in our vibrations.

However, that is easier said than done. The feeling of a missed opportunity has the potential to capture our attention for a while. The absence of what we didn’t get can loom in our minds and bodies for a while. While we should honour those feelings, it is vital that we allow them to pass through us, rather than let them stick. If they stick inside, than we are closing off our ability to attract what we truly want and what is meant for us. It is important to release these feelings and work to find alignment as soon as we are ready.

Get aligned, bounce back and get ready for the next one.

Below is a great short audio clip on the topic of missed opportunities from Abraham Hicks. If the concept of the Law of Attraction is new to you, here is a quick post about the Law of Attraction for Beginners.

A bigger certainty but you can’t see it.

Moon Cycle: November 7th – December 5th 

Full Moon: November 22nd

Keywords: Forgiveness, Transformation, Healing, Empathy, Spiritual Closeness, Manifestation, Compassion

The past moon cycle may have left you feeling slightly exposed and raw in the heart. Emotions were coursing through our spirits this past month, with Venus Retrograde still rampant and the full moon in Taurus unleashing our ego. It is entirely possible that we may have had our backs up, and tensions flared in our closest relationships, including our relationship with self. If you felt slightly out of alignment these past few weeks and had trouble finding your centre, rest assured that the new moon in Scorpio brings with it a compassionate energy that will bring relief and healing to the wounds we allowed to come to the surface this past moon.

Forgive Others, Forgive Yourself

One of the major ways we can embrace healing is through the act of forgiveness. What tensions were stirred within our closest relationships this past moon? Most importantly, what occurred during the past month that may have challenged our relationship with self? This new moon in Scorpio brings with it a compassionate energy that we can leverage to soothe and nourish our raw wounds, allowing us to extend forgiveness to those who may have done us wrong, while also allowing forgiveness to heal our own relationship with self.

This new moon, it will be important to embrace our love of self, as well as conduct strong acts of self-care and self-love. If we can nourish our most valuable resources (our inner being and our bodies) we are rightly prepared for the positive and strong transformations that this new moon can bring.

Manifesting and Transformation

The new moon in Scorpio will be an opportune time to manifest the goals and dreams we have long had in heart. This moon cycle brings with it a strong energy of transformation, that we can leverage to our benefit, with love and grace. Make sure to strongly dictate your intentions this new moon, while evaluating in your life what it is you would like to transform. Ask yourself if you are ready to become a newer version of yourself, and if you are open to what this new role will mean for you. Further to, the manifestation energy of this new moon is strong, however, we may need to revert back to the theme of forgiveness before we are able to embrace our next level of abundance. Stay true to yourself and see where you need to extend forgiveness in your life, or where you need to ask for it. Be humble, and more forward once forgiveness is granted.

Compassion and Grace

Above all, this new moon is optimal for compassion and charity. You may find your empathy to be strong. Remember that there is nothing wrong with filling your own cup before tending to the needs of others. Put your goals, dreams and health first, then move on to care for those around you from a place of complete abundance.
