The “Chain Reaction” of Thoughts and Vibrations..

by

 I’m so excited! Today is the day I get to attend an Abraham-Hicks workshop in person. I’ve been looking forward to this for several months now. I feel like a kid at Christmas. Being around Abraham and feeling the vibrations of all the other folks in the room will be invigorating to say the least.

And how I feel about this and what I’m expecting is a perfect lead-in for today’s quote and discussion:

Every thought that you think is vibrating at a very personal frequency . . . and by the powerful Law of Attraction (the essence of that which is like unto itself, is drawn), that thought is now attracting another thought that is its Vibrational Match. And now, those combined thoughts are vibrating at a frequency that is higher than the thought that came before; and they will now, by the Law of Attraction, attract another and another and another, until eventually the thoughts will be powerful enough to attract a “real life” situation or manifestation.

— Abraham

Excerpted from the book “Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness” # 620

This is pretty cool – AND very key to what happens to each of us and why each of us is so very different. I underlined and highlighted the word “personal”. What happens in my brain/being is definitely NOT the same as what will happen in yours – EVEN IF we were to think about the very same thing.

That’s because of this “chain reaction” type effect. I could tell 5 people to think this one thought. But since we are intelligent beings we can’t just stop with one thought (the problems experienced when trying to learn meditation – our minds go a mile a minute) each of them would then follow on with different thoughts. A thought is a small “thing” which rarely (if ever) exists by itself.  Usually we process hundreds or thousands of thoughts at a time. The essential key is to channel these thoughts so that they lead to what you want. Do NOT let the other thoughts intercede and interfere. Once you think a negative thought, this will attract another and then another and before you know it, even though you started down a positive road, you’re now back to your negative thinking.

Let’s take an example – You start to think about receiving a gift from the Universe of $1000.  Once you realize this chain reaction process you’ll consciously have your next thought be gratitude or appreciation. You’ll put a vision (thought) in your mind of a big smile on your face (I’m smiling now just thinking about this), then you’ll think about receiving the money (you can pick how – do you want to be surprised by opening it in an envelope?, have someone come to your door with it?, find it under your door mat? have it added to your paycheck? etc – the fun part of all this is that you get to pick – remember, though, you do NOT want to ‘outline’ for the Universe HOW it is to bring it to you). Then your next thought could be holding it (either the real money or a check perhaps – you pick) and touching it making sure it’s real. And then you can think about what you’d do with it and on and on. You’ll be really smiling by the time you’re done with all the conscious thoughts.

Now what really happens most of the time is this: I tell you to think about receiving $1000 from the Universe. Maybe you get that far but then go to “yeah right…that would never happen to me…I don’t have any luck…..”. Or maybe you can see yourself receiving it but when you get to the what you would do with it, you start thinking about all the bills you have and who you owe what to and then you start thinking about LACK again. And the lack thoughts then lead to more lack thoughts etc.

So, for the next week you should consciously pay attention to everything you think – every single thing. When you catch yourself turning down the negative path, go back to the first thought and get yourself back on the positive path. Will you try that for me – just for a week – or even a few days? Let us know what a difference this makes in how you feel. I am pretty sure you’ll see a major difference once you keep yourself on that positive road. Practicing the Law of Attraction simply by practicing your individual thoughts is like the child learning to walk – first they crawl and they may stumble getting up on those two feet but you know what? They may fall back to all fours but they keep trying to get up – the child’s determination is unwavering and that’s what I want for you. Having a coach can also help you with this. Posting in the comment section below is another way to get others to support you. Let me know what’s going on this coming week!

Make Yourself Happy!

by

 Do you find yourself determining your actions based on what others think (or what you think they are thinking)? Do you pattern your actions around making others happy? Or, at least not having them be unhappy with you? I know this has been an issue for me in my life, especially in the past but even this past weekend when I found out that my trainer, Dan, was going to go to New York to surprise me. I felt crushed that I had made the decision not to go and didn’t consider him. Well, if you look at it closely (which I wasn’t really emotionally able to do at that time) – how on earth could I have considered him since he hadn’t told me he was going. It’s probably just as well (as he’s repeatedly told me) that I didn’t know because then I made my decision from within my heart. Read this quote from Abraham and see what I mean:

It is not your role to make others happy; it is your role to keep yourself in balance. When you pay attention to how you feel and practice self-empowering thoughts that align with who-you-really-are, you will offer an example of thriving that will be of tremendous value to those who have the benefit of observing you.

You cannot get poor enough to help poor people thrive or sick enough to help sick people get well. You only ever uplift from your position of strength and clarity and alignment.

— Abraham

Excerpted from the book “Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness” # 617

By being in balance and having my emotions balanced it will be easier for me (and you too) to affect others without any effort. People can sense where you’re coming from. They really can sense if you’re in alignment and even if they can’t articulate it, they feel it. And if they can’t put their finger on it, they really do act accordingly. If they sense you’re out of balance/out of alignment, they might steer away from you. If they sense you’re in alignment, they will be drawn to you like a magnet. Your sense of alignment and resultant happiness will attract them to you. And in being attracted they will be positively affected by your positive vibrations.

Remember the second part of the quote – this is priceless. You can feel badly about people who are suffering (they’re poor, ill, lost their homes in Superstorm Sandy or some other natural disaster) but what good will you do them if you become homeless to be “like them”? You can’t help them at all can you? You can’t become ill and have that illness take away some of someone else’s illness. It doesn’t work that way. You do the most good for yourself and others if you are in alignment, in balance, if your vibrations are as high on the emotional scale as possible and you emanate calmness and happiness. That type of  vibration is much more beneficial than feeling as if you should be like them – whatever their circumstances.

What can you do today to raise your vibration? Maybe you’re not happy with the election results – what can you do to rise above that since you can’t influence it now – you did all you could if you voted. Maybe you’re still very sad because of the effects of Superstorm Sandy – what can you do positively (internally and externally) to raise your vibration regarding that situation. It does no good to sit around and feel helpless. If you’re far away and have already donated whatever it is you feel you can, then try raising your vibration thinking of the will and determination of all the people enduring this event AND those helping the people who have had to experience this. Send positive energy to the East Coast. Make it a part of your daily routine to figure out where you are on certain things and see how you can start feeling better about it. Do NOT tell the same story and fall into all the negative conversations at work or the gym or wherever. Your job is to rise above all that negativity.

Remember – make yourself happy first – it is NOT your job to make others happy.

What is it you’re going to change today? And how? Let us know below….

Which Switch Are You Operating?

by

 What are you allowing in your life? You do realize you have control over all of what you bring in don’t you?

You have your hand on the switch. You are the allower or the resister. And your emotions tell you which you’re doing right now. It’s easy once you understand the formula: When you feel good, you’re allowing good. When you don’t feel good, you are not allowing good. We didn’t say, when you feel good you are allowing good, and when you feel bad you are allowing bad (although it may translate into your experience in that way). There is only a Source of Well-being—which you are allowing or not.

— Abraham

Excerpted from the workshop in Ashland, OR on Saturday, July 20th, 2002 # 611

 

How are you feeling right now? I am feeling pretty good about my decision to stay home from the NYC Marathon so I am allowing good to come from that. I signed up for a new course (another year long one) yesterday but I gave myself about a week and alot of EFT before making that decision. I didn’t want to just jump in and form an opinion and then “regret” it or “think I made the wrong decision” (again). So, this time (as opposed to the marathon decision) I had more time to examine my emotions and how I felt about it. The few “negative” emotions I had didn’t feel good. So I examined them and they really weren’t what I thought they were. They were  really fear based hiding under something “more acceptable” such as “I don’t have enough time” etc. EFT helped me get into the real cause of the “bad feelings” and once I uncovered them and tapped on them I was able to be “unstuck” and allow the good emotions in and the ease with which the excitement flowed into my “unstuck” drain once again amazed me.

We spend way too much time analyzing things instead of just going with our emotions and figuring out what it is they are telling us. Our goal should simply be to allow good into our lives and cherish it. We need to stop standing on our head and looking at things every which way in order to dissect them. Just go with your feelings and you’ll be right most of the time. Of course, that’s not natural for us but if we practice feeling good and as a result allowing the good in, we’ll be surprised and when we see the results, we’ll want to continue to allow the good feelings in.

Try it, you’ll like it. Partner up with someone to coach you on this. Let them guide you in your allowing good to come into your life.

Who Are Your Cooperative Components?

by

 This quote from Abraham summarizes not only the past 9 months for me, but also the past few days of working with all of you.

My Imagination Attracts All Cooperative Relationships… You have the power to evoke from others the relationships that you desire. But you cannot get to a new-and-improved situation by giving your attention to the current situation. The Universe, and all physical and Non-Physical players in it, is responding to the Vibrations that you are offering; and there is no distinction made between the Vibrations that you offer as you observe, and the Vibrations that you offer as you imagine. . . . If you will simply imagine your life as you want it to be, all cooperative components will be summoned. And even more important, all components that are summoned will cooperate. It is Law. The experience that you have with others is about what you evoke from them.

— Abraham

Excerpted from the book, The Vortex, Where the Law of Attraction Assembles All Cooperative Relationships # 470

It’s really all about Cooperative Relationships. We bring others into our lives to work together. We can bring them in as Cooperative components (meaning they all work together) or Uncooperative (meaning the opposite). Naturally a person wouldn’t intentionally bring them in as uncooperative but by “telling the same old story” they will be bringing in the same character types (even with different faces) as they have been all along.

What I realized in the past several months is that it’s really all about teamwork (Cooperative Components) and I was able to bring them into my existence as soon as I thought about them. When I first started imagining and training for the NYC Marathon a year ago, I was operating from the same place I had been 11 years ago when I really did not have any resources or any type of components to assist me in reaching my desires (many reasons) so I was on my own. But this year I have a much different perspective on life and have grown over the last 11 years and although I was initially “stuck” in the old ways, as I went along, my dream became such a  large, powerful and positive force that I (with help from Kay and EFT) began to take the blinders off and see an entire world of Cooperative Components around me – all there for me to call into my world. And believe you me, I started calling them and bringing them into my inner circle.

I could never have gotten to this point without my TEAM of coaches. Each has their own aspect of my life to address, but you know what? They are all Life Coaches even though that’s not what they are called. Why do I say that? Because they are all an integral part of my life – my life, not just my training. I pulled out all the stops in the last two months and solicited AIRROSTI doctors as an additional force of my team. And if you want a laugh, you can see my AIRROSTI doc, Dr. Jackson in a very funny interview – it put a big smile on my face because I’ve watched her an “Adam” interact and they are just like this interview. But, I digress….

My personal trainer (Dan) and my EFT practitioner (Kay) have been with me the entire year. Without them I would not be where I am today. I have to say that the Internet was a coach too. I found information on my shins and hips on the Internet and that’s why I was able to get through the inevitable injuries from such long training. I had THE most Cooperative Components possible. And there were the other Components too – Abraham-Hicks, Christy Whitman, Dr. Jeanette Cates, my POD group from my coaching class and on and on and on. I listened to Abraham’s teaching every Sunday during my 5-7 hour long runs and I learned more than you can possibly imagine. I was running in the Vortex (another post to come) almost every minute of every run. And you can’t ask for anything better.

So, what Cooperative Components have you drawn into your life? Which ones can you recruit and add to your team? Do you need help thinking around your box (not just outside of it)? Do you have a stable person (or persons) you can go to whenever things are not going as you would like them? What do you think you could accomplish if you did have a coach as a Cooperative Component? Who is your coach? Would you like to reach further toward your goals. Holly reminded me the other day of my primary goal in life – to dedicate a wing of St Jude Children’s Research Hospital to my hero – Suzanne. Thank you for that Holly! Who do you have on your side to bring you back to your path to the Vortex?

Think on these questions and let me know what you think and where you think you really could go if you brought the best possible Cooperative Components into your life…comment below.

The Law of Attraction is the Key to Everything….

by

And understanding how it works and what surrounds it is essential. I haven’t posted in quite a few months because my every waking moment was spent either at work or training for the New York City Marathon which is in two weeks now. But I have been listening over and over again to Abraham and have learned so much that I am going to begin to share with you all. I’m also getting ready to have another webinar and another coaching class after the marathon is over. We had such a successful inaugural class that I want others to have that opportunity as well. I will open up for coaching hours in November too so it’s going to be busy at Getting Unstuck, LLC because I want to help you all “Get Unstuck” and get moving toward the goals you have.

This is a short “welcome back” type post today but I just wanted to remind you of the three basic concepts put out by Abraham in “Ask and it is Given”, the Teachings of Abraham.

First, you Ask – you do this with every desire you have and you do this when you come across things you do NOT want in your life. Because immediately you know what you DO want. So, you have now put out into the Universe what it is you want.

Second, it is Given – this is the work of the Universe, not you. The Universe hears your desire (what you asked for) and it immediately goes to work to provide it for you.

Third, you have to ALLOW it into your life – this is where people say that the Law of Attraction does or doesn’t work. If they are good at “allowing”, all things come to them and they agree that it works. If they have resistance and do not “allow” the Universe to give them what they have asked for, then they do not get their manifestation and they say the Law of Attraction does not work.

The Law of Attraction ALWAYS works. Your job is to figure out what it is you are allowing into your life – resistance or acceptance. If you’re always focused on the lack, the absence of what you want, the “not having it”, then you will receive more of that but the Law of Attraction is working because it is bringing you more of what you are focusing on.

My job as a coach and leader is to help you stop focusing on the lack but to allow the things you have asked for – the things you want – to come into your life.

We all need coaches. As the weeks go by, you’ll see how that plays into your everyday life.
