Dancing With The Law Of Attraction

The LAW OF ATTRACTION and dancing; they make a great pair! Dancing has become a significant part of my life. Besides it being my main social outlet and incredible fun, it has provided me with some great illustrations about how we can learn, utilize and “get in step” with the LOA. Let’s look at the following points about dancing in regard to the LAW OF ATTRACTION:

• Learn the Steps
• Steps aligned with the music
• Lead/Follow
• Trust
• Chemistry
• Fun

Learn the Steps

Whether you are learning to lead or follow, there are steps to learn. Sure, some of you have fun dancing “freestyle,” but if you want to look even remotely like the performers in Dancing with the Stars or at least feel the way they seem to feel, there’s no other way than learning steps. Whether it’s Waltz, Swing or Salsa, each dance has its own steps and rhythm.

The LAW OF ATTRACTION has “steps” to learn. You will first have to learn the basics of “like attracts like” and that you are responsible for where your thinking and decisions have brought you and will bring you. You’ll need to utilize the “steps” of developing a positive affirmation, manifesting desires and learning the role of the subconscious among a number of other processes.

Of course, you won’t be dancing up a storm on the first night. It takes some time to learn the steps in a dance. It requires:

• Time
• Practice
• Patience

As you practice reciting a positive affirmation and doing personal examination work, you will reach a point where your thinking, decisions and behavior become relatively automatic in the direction that you have chosen. Eventually, the process gets into your subconscious mind. In other words, more and more, like your dancing, you are able to achieve what you desire as you apply the principles of the LAW OF ATTRACTION.

Steps Aligned with the Music

Once or twice I have found myself feeling out of step with the music. The reason was that I was doing a Swing dance to music that was meant for Cha-Cha (many Cha-Cha dances are “oldies” and not “Latin” sounding)! Also, if the beat of the music is slower, you must slow your steps down. That is not only keeping with the integrity of the dance, but it is more fun to feel aligned with the beat and not forcing it.

You must get aligned with the music that both your subconscious mind and the Universal Mind is “playing” (one can make the argument that they are the same). I have found at times I need to “let go” and stop trying so hard on an issue. Other times I sense I need to become refocused in a certain direction that I had drifted from. It’s all about “listening” with your spirit.

Lead/Follow

In dancing, if you are leading and not sure what to do, neither will your partner! Since like attracts like in regard to the LAW OF ATTRACTION, you will get what you give out. If you’re unsure about what you want, you can be sure that you won’t get what you want! In the same way, when you are clear about what you want, the Universe reflects back to you how you “lead.”

When learning new steps with a partner, I found that some partners try to anticipate what I’m about to do, which is simply not following. Sometimes I do a different move than anticipated so that I’ll discover whether the partner is following or anticipating (oh, I know it doesn’t sound fair but sooner or later we both have to do different moves in different sequences).

Good leads give little “clues” to what is coming next in the form of “anticipatory” moves such as subtle hand movements. In Salsa it is common for the lead to drop the left hand down to anticipate the raising of the hand over the partner’s head in the next step (hand over the head means turn). So, don’t get ahead of where the universe is leading. Listen to the quiet messages being given in your thoughts, feelings and circumstances. As in dancing, the Universe usually leads in subtle ways.

Trust

It’s a beautiful thing when there is a trust between dancing partners. The lead and follow sometimes look and feel like a single unit in perfect harmony. I like to see how a partner trusts me when I lead her into a final dip, with her back straight and totally trusting me. Even though I’m good size and pretty strong (6’ 2” 205lbs), not every partner is able to trust. When she does it is incredibly cool.

Not everything is going to feel like it’s flowing the way you want. That’s when you have to trust God/The Universe. If you’re following principles, listening and responding, you should be in fine shape.

I remember one time when I had to make an unexpected payment to a creditor. After a brief bout of anxiety, I recalled that I had a specific goal about paying off debt. This was the Universe’s way of enabling me to accomplish it. Soon afterwards, unexpected money came my way and I was able to take care of that debt and even another. The experience helped me learn to trust the process. What a pleasure it was to feel the LAW OF ATTRACTION principles at work at such a practical level!

Chemistry

Whether it’s in dating or dancing, chemistry is crucial! I’ve danced with partners who were simply adequate in skills, but it flowed beautifully. Then I’ve danced with more skilled partners and seem to be off a lot in timing. For whatever reason, some partners follow me better than others when the skills are equal; all a matter of chemistry.

I would apply this principle to authors, whether it’s from books or online. I’ve found some LAW OF ATTRACTION authors that I think are incredible, yet friends don’t feel anywhere near the same; more chemistry at work. Though it is wise to have a broad range of LAW OF ATTRACTION sources to read, there are going to be some that really seem to speak to you. Just run with that flow and appreciate the chemistry.

Fun

By far, the best times I have dancing is when I decide my only goal is fun. I don’t worry about my technique or timing. I just try to make it a happy and fun time. It always works for me and I find my timing and technique is always better then. I just try to laugh and smile and all else seems to fall into place.

Make your pursuit of personal growth, purposeful and proactive thinking as fun as possible. Express gratitude to God and to the people whom you encounter in your journey. Be like a child as you smile and laugh about how you are learning so much, even when you feel like you’ve been struggling. Be focused and committed, but don’t take yourself too seriously. Trust and then enjoy the process of learning and applying the LAW OF ATTRACTION.

Don’t ever think that having fun and being serious about your personal growth are mutually exclusive. There are universal principles at work and you are simply applying them. As you are experiencing more growth, more success and happiness as you apply the principles, that is something to celebrate! So don’t forget, EVERY DAY, laugh, smile and even dance a little!
