Let's get controversial! :O) Law Of Attraction & kids--specifically, some of that crazy kids' folklore, which is sometimes outright brutal!
If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times: TV's so violent, so we'll get violent kids. I can't say I've found that to be universally true, but shouldn't the Law Of Attraction make it so? And, what about folklore that's not-so-gentle?
Here's my . . . dare I say "favorite" example?
Deck the halls with gasoline
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Light a match and watch it gleam
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Watch the teacher burn to ashes
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Aren't you glad you play with matches?
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I got this rendition from my favorite book on the subject: AMERICAN CHILDREN'S FOLKLORE by Simon J. Bronner.
Now, anyone who thinks that kids who sing this song will grow up to by pyromaniacs is off her rocker! But, how can this be?
Because, the Law Of Attraction isn't about the words we use or even the images we imagine. It's about the vibrations we ultimately emit. And, the evidence of those vibrations is feelings--emotions. The word "gleam" pretty much says it all. This is a song that produces laughter and gleaming smiles. It produces relief in kids who've been told to hold their emotions in, once too many a time.
The moral of this lesson is: Chill out! Get a sense of humor. And, stop worrying that the Law Of Attraction is out to get you. It's out to help you.
That's why laughter is the best medicine. Pretty pictures definitely help, and I wouldn't recommend too many that involve teachers turning crispy-critter. But, it's the overall emotion that matters.
Sunshine & Blessings,
