Another Delightful Day With Abraham!

Today was day four within one week with Abraham, along with wonderful conversations and insights with all the other event participants on breaks and at lunch. I feel full! Full of insight, full of excitement to stick to the program of exercises for vortex-living, full of knowledge. Just back from a yoga class I went to afterwards... below are a few themes which stand out in my mind:

My Soul Purpose is to Tend the Gap Between Where I Am and the Frequency of Who I Truley Am

It is my total job, 100% of the time, by divine direction, to GET INTO THE VORTEX! Abraham repeated again and again that there is no excuse to not be who we truly are! It is my responsibility to get happy! My total focus in life should be to come into alignment with my joy and appreciation. Once I am in my Vortex, everything I could ever need to know will be crystal clear! There are no big questions about "who am I?", "what is my life mission?", "how can I best serve?", "what is my next step?" because I will be inherently taking the next step by virtue of stepping foot in the vortex where all co-operative components have assembled to manifest my heart's deepest desire. I have heard this all repeated hundreds of times, but I think it just keeps sinking in deeper past all the decades of conditioning.... good stuff!

Needing is the Opposite of Having

I loved this comment. Abraham mentioned that whenever you believe you "need" something, you are actually experiencing resistance because you are working and longing for something you feel is inherently separate and inaccessible by you. Abraham suggested getting in the Vortex, first (as usual!) and from this place basking in the sensation of having. In this way we can raise our vibration to the realm of anything being possible, saturate ourselves with excitement and positive anticipation and become available to see all the little miracles constantly being created on our behalf. I know this is true because sometimes when I have been short on money and I have urgently felt as if I "needed" to come up with some, the pressure, panic, fear and urgency of "needing" seemed to repel the very thing I wanted. But when I focused on the abundance which already surrounded me, appreciated all I already had, and playfully explored all the fun ways I could attract even more wealth, it has rolled in. This was a great little reminder.

My Vibrational Reality is the Main Event of Me!

This is a repeat from the last few blog entries, and yet, I love it still! Abraham mentioned again and again how our vibrational reality is the larger, more real, more exciting and more authentic part of us and how the material human reality part is a wispy at almost insignificant aspect of our larger being-ness. This phrase about vibration being the "main event" inspired me to shift my focus more easily to the tangible reality of my invisible vibrational expansiveness... 

I Play My Way Into The Vortex!

Many people who were in the hot seat commented on "working hard to come into alignment" and Abraham had a bit of a field day in explaining how this was impossible. In short, the message was that there is no way to "work hard" on getting into your Vortex because the moment you start working hard you are experiencing resistance. Hard work means you are swimming upstream. Getting into the Vortex is about seeking ease, fun and positive feelings. It should be easy and fun, not drudgery and extreme effort against. We were encouraged to "be easy about it" and just play, seeking a better feeling thought through entertaining exercises and fun time. 

I loved this because I often have a story I tell about "working on myself"". This isn't serving me. "Working on myself" implies that there is something wrong within me that needs fixing to become "better" and thereby "positive" in some way which I am not  already. By playing my way into the Vortex, I am reminded that I already inhabit a magical realm of unlimited possibilities which feels good, that all is well, and that I am whole and worthy. This vibration the launching off place for even better, more fun feelings which easily lead me into the Vortex.

I Allow Others Before They Allow Me

This idea is kind of a biggie for me. In the past I have felt that people close to me needed to change in some way so that they could lead happier and easier lives (and thereby allow me to feel happy and in my Vortex - ha ha ha). I now realize that my only job is to tend to my own joy and from within my Vortex, reflect from the eyes of Source how whole and worthy and happy others already are from their vastly expansive vibrational reality. In the past, I sometimes felt guilty for doing well financially around those who were not, or I felt bad about being joyous around those who were sad. My approach was to try to "fix" them or "help" them literally change their situation, which clearly never worked and left both parties feeling frustrated and out of our Vortexes.

Abraham clearly said how important it is to allow others to be exactly where they are at. Really, their understanding of where we are at is completely irrelevant. And understanding where someone is at is not about stepping outside my Vortex and commiserating with them or inhabiting that reality. In short: I can't be sad enough to help sad people get happy. I can't be angry enough to help angry people get loving. I can't get poor enough to help poor people be abundant. I can only allow others to be who they are in every moment and reflect their wholeness back to them through the perspective of Source. This requires constantly going back into my Vortex to have this information available. This action of mine is unconditional, ever present and primary in my interactions and does NOT require the vaguest attempt on their behalf to do the same for me (although it is lovely when they do). In other words, I am learning to allow other to be who they truly are before they allow me. This requires letting go of thinking anyone has to change in any way for me to feel better... wow. There is a vast amount of personal learning unfolding for me in all of this which I am still unraveling...

On Unconditional Love

As a follow up on the last revelations, Abraham continued to comment on the topic of unconditional love. Abraham said that when you are in harmony with love, you love unconditionally. You become a lover of life! When you love from outside the Vortex, you can only love someone when they are loveable and thus you are insecure... 

This was all very deep for me as well.  As I mentioned in my entry about Mystic Garden Party, I have been dealing with the "pufferfish" syndrome around men where I have literally shut down my emotions and become cold and spikey when approached in certain ways. I am clear about the contrast it is creating for me and have launched some major rockets of desire into my vibrational reality and am catching up with the more gentle and loving self I have already become in there. Abraham said a lot of things which really got me thinking about this habit I have and I created.. I strung them together into some "I" statements to think about if it happens again:

I feel complete when I go in the Vortex. When I go in the Vortex I see with the loving and compassionate, wise eyes of Source. I look for things to appreciate and feel positive about so I can be who I truly am. I notice when I feel anger and realize I am experiencing discomfort because I am thinking about this situation in a way vastly different from the way Source. This contrast teaches me that I am using a person or a habit as an excuse for not being in my Vortex. As a true lover of life I don't need a reason to love, I can look anywhere and at anyone from the eyes of Source and find many things to appreciate. 

I am not really sure what is unfolding in this particular healing for me, but I intend to use the focusing methods and perhaps a hot-seat visit to resolve this situation... there is more than wants to emerge...

A Battle Against Anything is A Battle Against My Own Alignment

I found this incredibly insightful, even though I have already heard it a few times. In the past I was a very competitive person who compared myself to others and held myself up to high standards which were hard to meet. Abraham explained clearly how struggling against anything requires being out of the Vortex and that there is no way to fight something and simultaneously be connected with the infinite, vast intelligence and love of Source. 

This comment also resonated with me around blaming, especially blaming someone else's lack of being in the Vortex for my being out of the Vortex. When we blame we are really just looking for reasons to justify being disconnected from our own Vortex. We are waging a battle with someone else which cannot be won because the discomfort felt is really about "me not allowing myself to be me".  A great phrase from Abe: You can't be in the vibration of having a problem and in the vibration of the solution at the same time! In other words, I can't be focused on why someone else is wrong and needs to change and simultaneouly be in my Vortex and seeing their perfection and wholeness from the eyes of Source.

I Will Never Give Away My Freedom

Abraham explained how no one can take away our freedom, and yet we so easily give it away by prioritizing the pleasing of those around us above going into the Vortex. When we leave our Vortex, we really do loose our freedom because we loose our access to the eyes of Source, Universal Intelligence and all the ease, fun and joy that comes from knowing who we and others really are. The irony is that we often make the choice to leave the Vortex based on the misunderstanding that we can actually help people from outside the Vortex! Nope. I want to remember this one!

The Techniques

So... how does one really gain the vibrational strength to do this inner work? Abraham suggested a clear program to anchor one's self in the Vortex:

1. At night "bask" in the glow of what you appreciate for 15 minutes before sleep while in bed

2. In the morning, mediate early in the day to anchor your vibration. 

3. Next, do 5-10 Focus Wheels per day (for "a long time")

4. Next, create lists of Positive Aspects

5. Finally, write Rampages of Appreciation.

This is EVERY DAY for at least 1-2 months for a noticeably lasting effect. I'm going to jump into this and see how it flows for me... Obviously if you are really interested in this I would strongly recommend reading some of the actual books and watching DVDs, etc. All of this is filtered through my own personal experiences... (And if anyone else who has attended the last couple seminars has more specific details on this "program" which I only heard referenced vaguely, please post details as a comment on this blog!)

Phew! I'm signing off... haven't really proof-read this but I will look it over in the am to tighten it up and bit, etc. If you are actually reading this tonight.. you are HARD CORE! Love it! Wishing you the sweetest dreams in the Universe. xo Christabel

This is all reminding me of the Peruvian Q'ero shamans, which I've been studying to some degree, for quite some time... I know that one of the basics of that path is to offer blessings, prayers, songs and gratitude offerings to pachamama constantly... and to meditate in nature regularly, to maintain a consistent alignment with the primordial nature energy, to be able to listen and communicate intuitively with earth energy....

This has been a model for my own spiritual practice of communing with nature through movement, meditation, sound, prayer and making offerings... which I do pretty much not quite daily, but very frequently. Offering up prayers of gratitude daily is one of my primary spiritual practices.

Curious what the 5-10 focus wheels per day are...

again, i see the relationship between all this abraham stuff, and the core primordial shamanic practices.. your use of the word vortex reminds me of how i feel energetically in my psyche and spirit when i am coming onto ayahuasca in ceremony, and how i felt after doing dieta for 10 days in peru... i was in, what you call the vortex, in a permanent state of bliss for months afterwards... and maintaining connection with that pure essence has been a primary practice since.

so i cannot help but want to say... sit in ceremony! and just get the cosmic download the old fashioned way. god/goddess channeling the info right through your soul.

love you!
