Momentum Monday

A dream is a manifestation. Just like what you live is a manifestation, but a dream is quicker and easier to achieve, and not so troublesome if there’s something you don’t want.

—Abraham

Excerpted from the workshop: Orlando, FL on February 15, 1997

You manifest what you want (and sometimes don’t want) when you dream. Things just appear or happen! Your life could be like that but we allow our limiting beliefs, our doubts, other people, etc to get in the way and prevent the true materialization of what we’ve already manifested.

Visualization is close to dreaming especially once you get very good at it. Then you’re able to remove your obstacles and produce what you want — even if it’s just in your imagination. The more you visualize, the more you begin to penetrate into your subconscious and get past those limitations.

Enjoy your life. Don’t dwell on the things that make it tough or complicated. See if you can break it down into parts that are easier to handle. Recently I’ve been having a “less than enjoyable” time at work. So this week I decided to try to eliminate the emotions that are a very big part of me (I get passionate about things and people think I’m mad or something but I’m not, I’m just talking about something I care about) and not even respond to any thoughts that have an emotional content. Whenever something came to mind that involved emotion and not just getting the job done, I put it aside and went back to the logistical/practical aspects of work. It’s been working well for the past few days. We’ll see in a week or so what difference it ultimately makes. I have found that it makes me more productive. That is essential.

Use your emotions when you’re experiencing the good things or things that you want more of in your life. Save them for then. Remember that your emotions affect your vibration and it’s most likely that you’re sending multiple mixed messages to the Universe. One minute you’re happy and want this and the next you’re not happy and “don’t want” that. Focus on the things you want. It’s not easy when times are hard but try to do it (remember the Kodak Moments you’ve created and draw upon them) and see if it makes any difference in how you feel. It should ultimately also bring more of the even keeled moments and less of the undesirable ones.

Let me know how things go.

It’s Not a Secret, It’s Not Magic, It’s A Way Of Life

by

secretEveryone who’s reading this page has undoubtedly heard about “The Secret”. This movie has received accolades and criticism continually. But, regardless of your opinion of it and its content, it did bring the Law of Attraction (and hopefully the other Universal Laws) to the attention of millions of people around the world.

Some have poo-poo’ed this entire concept. Some have tried to “apply” the Law of Attraction and have “failed” (their definition) and subsequently shunned it and it’s philosophies.

But then there is the group of people (and it’s a pretty large group) that has embraced the ideas expressed in “The Secret” and changed their way of  life. This is what it’s all about. It’s not about what you do in a few minutes or a few hours of each day. It’s how you live every moment of your life. And more importantly, it’s about how you think and feel every moment of every day. You can create the life you want if you realize that your every thought and every feeling is manifested by the Universe and if you continue to think and feel in the same way every day, you will then materialize what it is you’ve been focusing on.

I’m sure that folks reading this blog think that I’m just a broken record because I repeatedly talk about changing your vibration and your focus and explaining that what you are focusing on is what will come into your life. But, it’s true and I continue to try to give you different examples.

Using the word momentum is also intended to help you identify with something you’ve experienced previously. Look around you and see how things have gained momentum. Right now we’re experiencing protesting and violence because of an event in the South. The event occurred and then some people got up in arms (I am not debating legitimacy) about what happened and started protesting. The opposite side (the police) felt they had to get harsh in dealing with the protesting. Then the protestors got more enraged and things followed suit. See how the momentum evolved in that scenario. One event filled with emotional content spread and allowed others to absorb the momentum and vibrations emanating from those most closely involved.wizard_pose_400_clr_6238

On the other hand, think of how contagious a smile is. You can be in the worst of all possible moods and someone smiles at you and gives you a pat on the back and your outlook and attitude (aka vibration and feelings) changes dramatically.

Will you take a few minutes and write down 10 SIMPLE ways you can change your life starting with either 1 a day or 1 a week depending on how difficult you think the things you wrote down are. Here’s some examples and I’m sure you’ll have lots more. The whole idea is to change you momentum even if it begins slowly.

  • Smile at a stranger at least once every day
  • Catch and stop yourself from complaining about something even if you just have to stop in mid-sentence
  • Give a compliment to at least one person every day
  • Write in your gratitude journal every day (or at least start today)
  • Start your Book of Positive Aspects tonight and write 3 positive aspects about someone you’re having problems with or don’t like
  • Say “You’re welcome” instead of “no problem” – people don’t realize how that is actually disrespectful. When I thank you for something you’ve done for me, I didn’t think I was causing you any inconvenience. When you say “no problem” back to me, it’s almost like I should have been able to do it myself but you’re much better able to do it than I am. You can tell that’s a pet peeve I have – sorry.
  • Hold the door for someone even if you have to wait an extra minute
  • Offer to help someone across the street or offer to carry something for them (this, I guess, would depend on where you live – you don’t want people to think you’re trying to rob them…LOL)
  • Send a real letter to someone just to say “Hi”
  • Write someone a thank you note even if it’s a thank you for something in the past
  • Give someone a word of encouragement especially if you see them struggling

You can come up with many more things than this – tell us below what you’ve thought of.

Momentum Monday

Everything that has ever been lived, everything that has ever been written down or documented, has been vibration first. Everything has been conjured in vibration first before it manifests. So if something has manifested and you continue to give it your attention, the fact that it is true should really hold no weight with you. The question that we would ask is not, is it true, or is it undeniable? The question that we would ask is, how does it make me feel when I focus upon it? And if the answer to the question is, it doesn’t make me feel very good when I focus upon it, then we would say, true or not, it does not serve you. And if you will activate a different part of your vibration—the “truth” will shift.
—Abraham
Excerpted from the workshop: El Paso, TX on March 28, 2002

What’s the key here in Abraham’s wisdom? The fact that if you don’t like a circumstance that has manifested (materialized) in your life, then you should stop focusing on it and activate a different part of your vibration and things will change. This is what I refer to as calling up your Kodak Moment(s).

  • I recommend you make a running list of Kodak Moments – even keep them on index cards that you can keep with you if necessary.
  • Once you note that something isn’t to your liking, pull out your list and find one that really strikes a “feel good” chord right now (it might be a different moment each time or it might be the same one).
  • Focus on that moment for the longest time. Do NOT let your mind wander back to the thing you don’t like or want in your life.
  • You do NOT have to focus on getting rid of that materialization. If you focus on it, you’ll just make it stronger or bring more of it into your life. The idea is to replace it with things that make your vibration high and happy.
  • Use the phrases I love and use so many times a day:
    • “Everything always works out for me” (I have that on my phone and it pops up 3 times a day to remind me)
    • “Nothing and no one can interfere with my prosperity, peace of mind and well being, NOT even myself”
  • Think and do anything to keep your mind focused on experiencing the vibrations you want to feel. When you feel good, that will change your surroundings.

Enjoy your week!

Ooooh, That Feels Good

by

how_are_you_feeling_button_400_clr_9148Which button will you push today? The “Happy” button I hope.

But lest you think I always am in the “Pollyanna” mode, I would be happy if you hit the “I feel OK” button too. Remember how Abraham talks about the emotional scale and there really are no bad or negative emotions. It’s an Emotional Guidance System with the emphasis on the word “guidance”. It’s not hard and fast and you can move quickly (or slowly) from one emotion to another. It’s better, though, if you move up the scale gradually – that avoids all the ups and downs that we experience sometimes. But back to the guidance part – sometimes we need to be deeper thinkers and not just look at the superficial. For example, when we’re maybe feeling “down” or “depressed” we might just continue to feel cruddy and think that everything is hopeless. Instead, if we could, it would be beneficial to find out why we feel down and then look at the scale and see what the higher emotion is and if we can try to get there.

Continuing the depressed example, the next emotion on the scale is unworthiness and even jealousy, insecurity and guilt. Then comes hatred and rage -> revenge and anger and so on.

Who would ever think that being jealous or feeling guilty would be a better emotion than depression. But if you think about it, it makes sense because it allows you to generate more energy than you have with depression. It alters your vibration and this is a good thing. The more your vibration raises, the closer you get to feeling better and getting whatever it is you’ve been asking for in the positive realm.

When you’re feeling not as happy as you’d like, try reaching for some thought or memory that made you happy at one time. I have coach_with_whistle_400_clr_4694recently had a very hard time with this. Since I had to drop from my trek across Tennessee only making it 104 miles, I was able to get over the initial disappointment and depression that is associated with wanting something for a year and then not having it materialize. I was able to look at all the factors involved (which are the topics for another time and another place) and then be proud of what did actually do. But what did get me down was the fact that I was sick/injured so badly I could hardly walk for almost three weeks and thought that I would never be able to run again. Most of you know how important running is in my life so that was something I was having a hard time dealing with. I kept trying to get myself back up the emotional scale but wasn’t find the key. Finally, though, I was able to  reach out to my EFT coach with whom I had not been in touch with for 8 months. But I knew I wasn’t being successful by myself and recognized I needed help. She worked with me and got me on the right track and within a few days my back and body was well on the mend. I still haven’t run yet but am just giving it a few more days to completely heal. This is the longest I’ve been forced to not run in a very long time but it’s one of the smartest things I’ve done. So, even though I could be depressed that I’m not running, I find myself focusing on how smart a a move it is to not push it but to be giving myself time to get better and hopefully not get injured again. I could be focusing on the “poor me” part of all this but I’m making myself attend to the wisdom surrounding my decisions.

Pay attention to the way you feel and do whatever it takes to just move your emotions up the scale. Don’t be shooting for the moon but just a  little movement. Once you see that you can accomplish that, then you’ll realize you can move up again when you’re ready.

Always remember to consider getting a coach especially to help you with these tougher times. Explore different possibilities of engagement with your potential coach. See what will work for you both. But Coaching is invaluable.

Momentum Monday

We would like you to release the word “achieve” or “earn” from your vocabulary and from your understanding, altogether; and we would like you to replace those words with the word “allow”. You’re wanting to allow your Well-being, not achieve it. It’s not something that you need to earn. All you have to do is decide what it is you would like to experience, and then allow it in order to achieve it. It isn’t something you have to struggle for or try for. You are all worthy beings. You are deserving of this Well-being.

—Abraham

Excerpted from the workshop: Detroit, MI on July 08, 2000

This is a very important concept and I’d like you to take a look at your language (verbally and internally) this week. Once you realize the reality of this it will release so much stress  from you life because it’s that feeling that you have to strive and work hard to get something or somewhere that puts the pressure on you. Along with the pressure comes the feeling of lack. You wouldn’t be trying to “earn” something if you weren’t missing it in your life.

Remember that you have everything you need – the Universe has produced it for you as soon as you proclaimed that it was something you wanted. Once you determined that there was something you wanted, the Universe brought it to your door. The only thing you have to do is open the door and allow it to come in. Although this quote refers to well-being, it applies to everything in your life.

Pay attention to the things you think about having to achieve or earn. Set your internal watchdog to identify these words in your thoughts. When you do find them creeping into your conscious mind, take control and immediately change the wording to “allow”.

See if this makes any difference and let us know by putting your results in the comments box.
