In the area of creating abundance most of the focus is given to the Law of Attraction. Another law is the Law of Repulsion. I first learned about it when I read How to Solve All of Your Money Problems Forever. Victor Boc, the author, makes the promise offered in the title without a second thought.

The Law of Repulsion is founded on a simple concept but very insightful. Many people use 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 explanation of the Law of Repulsion makes good sense.

If we can attract something to us, isn’t it logical that we can also repulse it? Naturally, that does sound logical, but you’re asking yourself, if you really want something, why would you push it away. Of course, that’s a great question. The answer is that the pushing occurs for the most part subconsciously.

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

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

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

The interaction is very profound. When we measure with numbers, the best case scenario is 100% pulling in and 0% repulsing. Neutral is 50/50. We can say that you must attract something to you with at least 51% of the energy. That would be the worst case scenario in attracting. So, the difference is a mere 1% between attracting and repulsing.

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 want. We tweak what we do. Is it too simple?

I think we have a tendency to make life hard. We are conditioned in so many ways to think we must work hard to get something. That’s how the saying, work smart not hard, came to be.

“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 asking yourself what you’re going to do with this information? Fabulous question and here’s an equally fabulous answer. First off, relax with it. Consciousness is the first step toward change. Think about something you’ve desired but have not attracted into your reality. Is the Law of Repulsion operating in some way? Make a change remembering that the change could be as small an adjustment as 1%!

Should the change require a bigger  movement, let’s say 49%, do not let it overwhelm you. This is the time to remember that baby steps are what you need. Be sure to give yourself encouragement and acknowledge every step you take toward your goal. When it comes to creating abundance there are two laws, the Law of Attraction and the Law of Repulsion. Take both into consideration!
