Are your thought vibrations in harmony with that which you want?

One of the major principles of Law of Attraction is that everything – EVERYTHING – is vibration; that each individual existence, from human beings and rocks, to sound and light, to thoughts, exist in their true nature as frequencies…also known as vibrations. 

Like a tuning fork, a vibration of any sort will seek out and ‘pick up’ other alike vibrations. To follow this theory to its practical end and yet keep it short here, suffice to say that when we think AS IF we already are and have what it is we say we want, then we will naturally – and inevitably – attract it. By thinking about what we want rather than what we don’t want, we align oursleves – literally, vibrationally – with that which we want: The Law of Attraction in action.

Today I picked up an Abraham Hicks* book (I like to let books ‘fall open’ and see where I end up, just to discover if the message might have some particular meaning in that moment) and a phrase jumped out at me. There was a question and answer section, with common thoughts or beliefs and the answers/suggestions from Abraham Hicks as to how we might improve on them in order to align ourselves with that which we want. Most of them are old hat for me as I have been studying this subject for a long time, but one of my beliefs was on the page loud and clear and I have never realized how misaligned it is with what I truly want. The belief, and I am paraphrasing, was something like ‘There are so many wonderful places to go and see in the world and I want to be able to see all of them. I am missing out by not traveling enough and not having more wealth to enjoy the freedom I deserve and desire…I want to be elsewhere.‘ I read that basically what I am saying subconsciously is that: where I am is not good enough, I am separate from that which I want, there is something ‘wrong’ with my current situtation…just to name a few limiting and misaligned beliefs that became apparent. Wow!

Any form of longing is lack-based and prohibits the very thing you want from coming to you. I can improve my mindset and my ability to create what I want by better aligning myself vibrationally, ie. via my thoughts. I can think such productive thoughts as: I travel often and I LOVE seeing all the exotic and beautiful places of the world. I love that there are so many places to see and do, and I am so lucky that I will have the opportunity to explore and see all of the places on my list. Today’s technology is so fantastic and I can book online and go last-minute to almost anywhere. How exciting! I’m so grateful to be living the life of my dreams.

Now, the fact is I already DO travel quite a lot and I’m already living the (evolving) life of my dreams, but in this particular case I was NOT correctly aligned. I was pining for the places I have not yet had the chance to see, and for even more freedom and money so that I can ‘get started’…what an eye-opener that was. I am sharing this in hopes that you, too, may discover some ways in which you have been limiting yourself without even realizing it…because then you can CHANGE your mind, and thus change your life!

As usual, it is in practice rather than in theory that we find out if our beliefs and choices serve us.

I have been so deeply sad in the past couple of days about Jordan (about whom I wrote yesterday) that I haven’t really cared about much except perhaps being grateful for my own little girl. I know very well that this stagnant state of mind is neither healthy nor helpful, but I also know from my bereavement training that people need to have a little space and time to assimilate something – myself included.

However, as we know many people die in many tragic ways all over the world every day. One of the very fundamental principles of what we teach – as you will hear everywhere from our courses to The Secret – is that you create and experience what you think about. Thus, sadness begets sadness. We can ALWAYS find something to be sad or upset about, even if it isn’t an immediate tragic event.

So, this morning as I was driving along and trying to shake myself out of it, it occurred to me that maybe we feel guilty being happy when we know things aren’t ‘right’. It all comes down to the same thing in a way…do you not have wealth because inside you are concerned that people won’t like you? Do you hold your tongue when you are angry out of respect, or is it because you are afraid of the repercussions of speaking your mind? Do you feel wrong being happy when someone you know is sick, or hurting? The underlying belief in all of this is really important because it keeps us from creating and experiencing the lives of our dreams…it says that what others think is more important than our own happiness. That we must curtail ourselves, hold ourselves back and act in certain ‘acceptable ‘ways. How can we just go around being HAPPY???

Well…if you say you want happiness, then how can you achieve it if you don’t choose it?…not just when it is easy and everything is going swimmingly, but always…because it is your choice, and it is your life.

Of course there is a time for sadness and for anger, but if we hang on to it it hurts only us, both as we hang on to it and by the results we create with it…you are what you think about. I can grieve with my friends and be happy in my own life all at the same time. I must keep my perspective balanced and hold all of it – happy and sad – in my mind at one time. 

I have already decided (=intent) that when faced with adversity, I will choose to bounce back and carry on with my life, being focused on my goals (=flexibility), so now I need only to rely on that prior decision to help me regain my perspective. This is what we mean when we say decide what you want to be, and then BE THAT. I choose peace, and from that place I can best help myself and my friends.
