In the area of creating abundance most of the attention is placed on the Law of Attraction. There is another law, the Law of Repulsion. I first learned about it when I was reading How to Solve All of Your Money Problems Forever. Victor Boc, the author, makes the promise stated in the title without hesitation.

The Law of Repulsion is based on a simple idea but very insightful. Many people follow the practices of the Law of Attraction without success and wonder what’s wrong. They think the law isn’t working instead of wondering how their behaviors aren’t working. Boc’s teaching of the Law of Repulsion makes logical sense.

If we can attract something to us, isn’t it logical that we can also repulse it? Intuitively, that does sound logical, but you’re asking yourself, if you really want something, why would you repel it. By jove, that’s a great question. The answer is that the repulsing takes place for the most part subconsciously.

If something was not blocking the attracting process then all people would have everything they are wanting. Unfortunately, that is not so. In fact, the majority of people do not attract what they want.

That is when the Law of Repulsion comes into play. We are capable of sending  confusing messages to the Universe. I desire lots of money, but I also think only greedy people have lots of money. I want people to respect me but I don’t respect myself. I want to be as thin and beautiful as the top models, but I don’t take time for my body.

The part of the equation that effects this interaction is how much energy that goes into each belief? Does the positive piece receive the most energy or the negative part? It is that clear. Remember that all life is energy. When the positive receives the most energy, it is attracting and when the negative is receiving more it is repelling.

The interaction is very subtle. When we take into account numbers, the best case scenario is 100% attracting and 0% pushing away. A stand off is 50/50. We can say that you must attract something to you with a minimum of 51% of the energy. That would be the worst case scenario in attracting. So, the difference is a mere 1% between pushing away and pulling toward.

The good news is that surely we can turn around 1%. How do we do that? We  look at the positives and negatives of what we desire. We make an adjustment in what we do. Is it too simple?

Perhaps, we make life hard. We are programmed in so many ways to think we must work hard to have something. That’s how the saying, work smart not hard, evolved.

“It’s not worth having if you don’t work for it.” Tell that to the latest lottery winner. Please don’t misunderstand me. I’m not saying we don’t have to put energy into what we want, but it really can be simple.

Simple is not the same as easy. Einstein had a wonderful quote, "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."

Are you wondering what you’re going to do with this information? Great question and here’s an equally great answer. First off, relax with it. Awareness is the first step in making a change. Think about something you’ve wanted but have not pulled into your reality. Is the Law of Repulsion operating on some level? Make a change remembering that the change could be as small a fine tuning as 1%!

Should the change require a larger  movement, let’s say 49%, do not go into overwhelm. This is the time to remember that baby steps are needed. Be sure to be gentle with yourself and acknowledge every step you make toward your desire. When it comes to creating abundance there are two laws, the Law of Attraction and the Law of Repulsion. Be conscious of both!
