“Your physical exposure to your physical world is providing the contrast that is necessary for you to form your opinions and desires about how life could be improved.  And even though you cannot see them, and are often unaware of them, your desires for improvement shoot out from you as Vibrational rockets, or messengers of request.

They shoot out into the Vibrational atmosphere in the same way as the original rockets that created your planet were sent; and they are received by the Source of the Energy that creates worlds, the same Source Energy that is the origin of All-That-Is. And those ideas, requests and desires are understood; and in the moment of their launch—they are answered….

The part that is most often misunderstood, or overlooked by our human friends is that in the living of physical life and in the launching of those rockets of desired expansion, it is not only an expanded world your are creating—it is an expanded YOU.”

Abraham Hicks, The Vortex, page 176

“It may sound odd, but the fastest way to get to a new-and-improved situation is to make peace with your current situation. By making lists of the most positive aspects you can find about your current situation, you then release your resistance to the improvements that are waiting for you.  But if you rail against the injustices of your current situation, you hold yourself in vibrational alignment with what YOU DO NOT WANT, and you cannot then move in the direction of improvement.  It defies Law.”

Abraham Hicks, The Vortex page 66

“You cannot continue to focus upon unpleasant thoughts without keeping the thoughts active within you and therefore holding yourself out of alignment with the solutions and relationships that you really do desire.  In short, you just cannot get to where you want to be by pointing at the evidence of that which is unwanted.  It defies Law….

Many argue that unpleasant things would not be active in their Vibration if other people had not behaved in a way that caused the activation.  And while we acknowledge that it is certainly easier to feel good when you are around good-feeling people, we would never go so far as to say that the behavior of others is responsible for the way you feel, because you have the power to focus, and therefore attract, despite the behavior of others in your environment.”

“Everyone who turns up in your life–from the people you call friends and lovers, to the people you call enemies and strangers–comes in response to your Vibration. You not only invite the person, but you also invite the personality traits of the person.

Many people have a difficult time accepting this as they think that many of the unwanted characteristics of the people in their lives and they argue that they would never have asked for something so unwanted to come into their experience…..We know that many of the relationships and experiences that you have attracted, you would not have deliberately attracted if you had been doing it on purpose, but much of your attraction is not done by deliberate intent, but rather by default.

It is important to understand that you get what you think about, whether you want it or not.  And chronic thoughts about unwanted things invite or ask for matching experiences, every time.  The Law of Attraction makes it so.”

I am a little bit.  My son and his family live a thousand miles away and holidays are a little tough.

I love Skype and my grandson recognizes me and talks to me in his adorable 18 month old way.  It helps to have technology!  But a part of me is a bit sad and I am learning to acknowledge that part and to give it a voice.

In my decision to follow the principles taught by Abraham Hicks and the Law of Attraction, I used to think that any low vibration feeling was to be avoided at all costs. Now I realize that sadness, grief, loneliness or any other “negative” feelings are GOOD for me to express.

These feelings allow a wave of energy to wash over me and then through me.  Thankfully there IS a waiting time between our thoughts and our manifestations.  If not, we would be dangerous!! LOL

If you are lonely this Thanksgiving, here is a great exercise that will help you move through it and get to the other side. Instead of asking “How long will I be alone at the holidays?”  Ask yourself, “Why does being lonely bother me so much?”

If you want to ramp up the exercise, write the second question down with your dominant hand and then switch hands and write the answer with your non-dominant hand.  When you do this, you open a pathway of communication with a part of you who doesn’t get your attention very often.

You will be amazed at what you learn.

If you are reading this, I send you love and more love this day.  I am grateful for my readers and fans!  You guys are changing my world!

Happy Happy Thanksgiving!

“We want you to remember that while you are focused here in this Leading Edge physical experience, you also have an Eternal, non-physical, older, wiser part of you that exists in the Vortex and is always available to you.

This Vibrational Relationship between the physical you and the non-physical you is significant for these important reasons:”

1.  The emotions that you feel (your Emotional Guidance System) are because of the relationship between the physical you and the non-physical you.

2.  As you reach for new thoughts to get back into the Vortex, you have the benefit of the stable knowledge of your Non-Physical counterpart.

3.  As you reach for new thoughts to get back into the Vortex, you have the benefit of the confidence that your Non-Physical counterpart is always in the Vortex waiting for you to come into alignment again.

4.  Every other relationship you have (that is with other people, with animals, with your own body, with money, with concepts and ideas, with life itself) is profoundly affected by this all important relationship between you and You.

5.  Everything you are wanting, your deepest desires, are in the Vortex waiting for you.  When you are feeling relaxed, calm and happy, that is the evidence that the non-physical and physical parts of you are in alignment.  That is when the magic happens!

It never fails me.

When I need to raise my vibration and put myself into a state of delicious well-being, I have a sure fire tool.  Right now I am watching a Tivoed Oprah show and, just like magic, the waves of goose bumps are hitting me.

Not so many years ago, I didn’t think goose bumps were anything special.  When is was cold, I figured it was just a response to the temperature.  I got goose bumps lots of other times, but dismissed them.  Boy was I missing out on a spectacular Law of Attraction tool!!

Now I know for sure that goose bumps are a language of vibration. Abraham Hicks has taught me that keeping my vibration high is the key to attracting what I desire into my life.  I used to think that vibration was controlled by my thoughts alone and that my attraction vibe was a mind experience.

Whoa!  Was I missing the boat!  Now I know that there is a lot of power in the goose bumps and shivers that happen when something thrills me.  Vibrating emotion rolling through my upper body has become my personal attraction meter.  The stronger the vibe, the more in tune with my Inner Being I am. 

Like I said, I never knew that these experiences had so much to offer. I would sit in theatre productions, sports events and concerts totally clueless.  I took the goose bumps and shivers completely for granted.  Now I know that I can recall these times and use them to ramp up my vibe whenever I want.

Plus, now that Tivo is in my life (if you don’t have it….get it!)  I can create my own high vibe tool kit with the push of a button.  So what is my number one Soul Mate Attraction Tool?

Makeovers. On my Tivo right now is a “Oprah, Make Over My Man Please!” (taping date November 19, 2009)  Tim Gunn and Carson Kressley are making over boyfriends and husbands while the women sit stunned in the audience.  Seeing the before and after pictures always sends chills up my spine.

What really gets to me though, every time, is the looks on the faces of the family when they see their loved one madeover. Truth be told, for me any makeover show will do.  From What Not To Wear to Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, the thrills and chills put me in the frame of mind and good feeling place that is an exact match to how I will feel when my manifestation appears.  I have been known to keep favorite episodes on my DVR for MONTHS!!

Pay attention to those goose bumps….when your soul mate arrives, you will be glad you did!

The feeling of connection that people are looking for, the exhilaration of being with someone with their hearts soaring, really is not a function of the person you are with, but instead it is a function of your own Connection with You.  We would prefer to think of Soul Mate as you mating, or consciously connecting, with your own Soul or Source or Inner Being or Self.  When you in your physical moment and time, are offering a similar vibration to your Inner Being, you have indeed found your Soul Mate. And if you consistently do that, the people who will gravitate to you will be enormously satisfying in nature.

In fact, one of the fastest ways to make your way to a wonderful relationship is to find any subject that consistently feels good, and focus on that even if (from Catherine….especially if) it has nothing to do with relationships.

A Message From Jerry and Esther Hicks:

Putting together a deck of Abraham’s Well Being cards is always an exhilarating experience because the handling of these powerful words in any form is life-giving to us. But when Hay House coupled their talented artists with these meaningful Abraham quotes, and presented them in such beautiful colors and pictures—these cards took on a whole new “feeling” for us.

At a recent seminar, Abraham encouraged us to do 100% of our affirming Well-Being from inside the Vortex. “Get in there and practice the Vibration of being in there by speaking of things wanted; by appreciating, or by focusing on things that match the Vibration of the Vortex.”

Later that day they suggested gently looking through a deck of affirmation cards as a way to practice that inside the Vortex Vibration. They told us that the longer we are able to deliberately hold ourselves inside the Vortex, the easier it is to return to, and the more often we will be in the state of allowing our alignment with who we really are.

And so, we had a deck of them framed to hang in the hallway of our California home, as well as keeping a deck near us with selected ones in our pocket or purse. I even thought about getting a name badge holder and wearing it around my neck with a daily card tucked inside. But then…

Some friends in attendance at our recent Asheville seminars showed us the Money and the Law of Attraction Card Deck App that they had downloaded to their iphone. Such a fabulous idea!! And then today we received word from Reid Tracy (our publisher) that our Money, and the Law of Attraction Card Deck app has been selected by Apple as a featured app for their “What’s Hot” section on iTunes.

It will be prominently listed on the front page of the App Store for the next week. Now, several times a day, we can practice the Vibration of the Vortex by easily scrolling through these beautiful cards on the iPhone. If you don’t have an iPhone, you can still get these beautiful cards through Hay House.

And more good news… Amazon has chosen Abraham’s newest book, The Vortex, (released Sept 1, 2009) to be in the list of their top 100 books (of all books released in 2009) as favorites of Amazon customers. Now THAT is thrilling. It is getting easier and easier for people to find, and use, the teachings of Abraham.
