I just got out of a wonderful all day workshop with Esther Hicks who was channeling a collective of non-physical beings called, "
Abraham". What an exhilarating day! As with after each workshop I have taken, I feel as if I am joyfully leaping from squishy soft cloud to luxuriously squishy soft cloud!
It was a very last minute decision to attend... I've been listening to the CDs lately and not feeling interested as much as before... but my friend Dan's presence (all the way from Long Beach) and the fact that the event was 5 miles from my house tipped the scale. Thanks to Dan, I had a front row seat and also was elated to spend some time with the whole crew who shared about the current production of the new DVD to accompany the new book (on which I am featured in the hot seat!). It is all very exciting.
When I attended the Abraham cruise last February, it enabled me to make a decision to live in my vortex without compromise, which led to some massive changes in my life. These changes continued after attending the last San Rafael workshops in the spring. I am excited to see how these workshops amplify my focus even further...
While at the event today, I realized that my topic of inquiry related to how I could evolve my career and soul purpose. Specifically, I have felt called for some time to embark into a new metaphysically artistic work sharing my poetic esoteric revelations in book form, through multimedia art and through intensive retreats. I wanted to know how I could move through my blocks and into this potential.
I didn't need to ask any questions! As usual, other people's questions evoked the perfect answers...
Tell A New Story: The biggest revelation I got is that I need to TELL A NEW STORY! Oftentimes when people ask me about my future plans, I tell a mixed story which shares what I am passionate about and also what I am afraid of and why I don't think I can do it. Talk about sending mixed messages to the Universe!!! I realize that the most important thing I can do is to craft an exciting new story in which I speak about what I want and why I love it (and forget about talking about my fears). In other words: Always look and speak in the direction of what you are becoming... just find positive thoughts in the vortex and make these my dominant thoughts. Also, I got a good reminder to keep telling a fantastic story about where I am! I love hooping and all the wonderful people and lessons and abundance it has brought to me... and I believe I can have a multidimensional career. The more I powerfully I appreciate where I am at, the more open I will be to receive exciting evolutions...
Speak Powerfully: Another revelation I got is that I need to release any hang-ups I have about using certain unusual words which I think may evoke a negative or skeptical response in listeners. This is a big one for me! I realize that wasting time worrying about what other people think of what I have to say holds me out of the vortex where I don't even have access to those magical words! Some of these words which I often hold back from using include: intergalactic, frequency, vibration, starbeing, etc. I realize that a new paradigm needs a new vocabulary. Since I feel more in my vortex when I speak these charged words than when I repress them, it is time for me to own my inspirations.
Some wonderful phrases Abraham suggested using to tell our new story included: I look forward to ... because ... I like it when ... I can feel.... I love it when.... I really like... I feel so aligned when... I feel so exhilarated when... I am so joyful when... It feels so life-giving when...
Abraham said it is totally bogus to blame not writing a book on "not having time", reminding us that it is not the writing of the book which takes time, but rather, getting ourselves in the vortex so we can be vibrationally prepared. They reminded us, "time is different in the vortex!" It was great to hear this too because I feel as if I actually have already written a book ... I just need to put the pieces together and give it cohesion. What am I waiting for?
Allow Expansion: One of the most painful realizations I had was that I am holding back my own expansion!! Abraham reminded us that contrast serves us by showing us what we do want... but the real lesson is activated when taking action towards what we truly desire. Many times I have sensed an urge to expand and become more poetically expressive, and held myself back at the same time. No longer! The art of allowing means allowing expansion. I am feeling more courageous about allowing my own expansion!
Seek the Vibrational Equivalent: I realize that I need to continue to surround myself with uplifting spiritual visionaries who are a vibrational match for what I seek to embody. Abraham reminded us how important it is to clean up our vibration and to focus exclusively upon the presence of how what we want feels... to let ourselves be called into the new vibrational reality of what we seek to manifest and train ourselves into the belief that will attract our desire. I see I simply need to continue raising my own vibration through intentional thoughts and actions so I can attract the outcome I seek.
One neat thing Abraham mentioned was about how to know when you are a amatch for what you desire. They said, "When asking ourselves this question: 'are you a cooperative component to what you seek?', knowing the answer is easy! If you are happy, the answer is YES! If you are not, the answer is NO." Abraham suggested being oblivious to any and everything which causes fear and doubt and to exclusively focus on what inspires us.
Close the Gap: A major insight I got at this event is how often I have trampled on my own intuition and willingly tolerated discomfort of being out of the vortex. No longer! Abraham talked about how important it is to listen to our intuition and take action at any time when our inner being asks for action to experience alignment. Even if it is tiny thing, it may be important in ways we cannot imagine. I really, really understand ow important this is and a personal exploration of mine currently is healing my Ajna (third eye) chakra with love...
Be in the Vortex More than Out of It: Many times in the past I have endured discomfort for prolonger periods of time because I believed that it was the path to growth and expansion. Abraham shared a great reminder on this topic ~ that we should be in the vortex WAY more than we are out of it. There is simply NO reason not to be in the vortex. They said that being out of the vortex is simply no longer acceptable and that we should just stop having any and all conversation about being out of the vortex and GET IN! This made me realize that I being out of my center could have been okay for a brief second, but that the moment I realized it I should have been immediately taking action to get back inside. I will no longer allow days, weeks, months, years out of the vortex to persist because of the misguided belief that I am "growing spiritually"!
Don't Get Caught Up in What Others Think: I loved that Abraham reminded us to let go of getting caught up in what other people think or say about us. This has been something which I have invested too much energy into. They suggested forgetting about tolerating being outside of the vortex in order to commiserate with people who have forgotten their connection to Source and to release tolerating sloppy thinking. I love it! These reminders really help me to focus on a high level of integrity which makes my soul sing.
Being Spirituall: One thing which was neat is that Abraham spoke on the topic of "being spiritual". This was perfect for me since I had hesitations around this in moving forward with my work. Abraham reminded us that being spiritual just means being in alignment with spirit. When you allow the wholeness of who you are to express through love, joy and appreciation, you are spiritual. When you are negative, fearful and angry you are not. It is that simple. It is easy to be spiritual and everyone has access to it! Spirituality is a moment by moment practice of aligning and focusing.... yes! We are all worthy and capable of being spiritual and sharing our insights with others.
So that is a bit of what my experience was of the day... lots of personal expansion and ownership of my intuitive urgings... lots of self-love and appreciation for my own gifts... lots of joyful playfulness around moving forward with creative visions. I am so grateful! Yay!
* I used an image of many galaxies for this blog entry since I was inspired to think in a much more expansive, quantum realm of possibilities during the presentation... I love stretching my imagination to think of beings multi-dimensionally and in ways which defy consensus reality...
Thank you Christabel!
