When I was a teenager I used to attend Hilda's Thursday night Satsang. At that time we met at St Luke's Church in New York City's Greenwich Village. That was a profound experience for me, but there is way more to the story of Hilda's role in my life than what took place at those meetings. (And, for anyone who was there, and I know you folks are out there because you write to me from time to time, you know that the energy of those gatherings was powerful, extra-ordinary, and inspiring enough to last a lifetime.)

There is more though…

I have to back up a bit.

The reason I knew Hilda was because she was working intensely on healing my sister, Shelli. In fact, one of my clearest memories of Hilda was when the doorbell would ring and my mother would open the door to our apartment. And there was Hilda, in her sari, and her English accent, and an aura of Love expanding out in every direction, unlike anyone else who ever rang our doorbell.

And yet, this was a common occurrence. Hilda was there, ringing our doorbell and entering our apartment like clockwork.

So, I've been reflecting on how huge Hilda's influence has been on me. Her presence as a healer was such a big part of my formative years, that now, as I sit to do a YOFA jhe Session two times a week, I'm so grateful for my roots with someone who is probably one of the most remarkable healers and spiritual teachers of the 20th Century.

It's hard to describe the specific influence that Hilda still has on these remote inner alignment sessions that I do, but I want to acknowledge her and give her credit for much of my training – even if it was largely by osmosis!

When I do an inner alignment session for the people on the jhe list, I send an email explaining the specifics of the session. I'm posting the email update that went out to the members today after I did today's jhe session.

You can sign up for the YOFA jhe Sessions HERE.

Today's YOFA jhe Session Email Update:

I did a YOFA jhe Session for you today.

With today's alignment comes an
intensification of personal empowerment.

This comes not from having power over others
but as a result of an intimate relationship
with the source of all creation.

Abraham (Abraham-Hicks.com) teaches us of the
profound relationship between freedom and
empowerment. These are different names for
the joyful end of the emotional scale.

With today's inner alignment with your
essence, you gain access to great personal
freedom and empowerment. This happens as a
result of deliberate alignment with the
ever-present, sacred freedom at the portal
where the *now* enters your personal energy
system. (Find out more about how this works
in the root chakra section of "Rooted in the
Infinite.")

As a result of today's session I expect you
to experience breakthroughs in any area of
your life where you have been feeling stuck.

You may notice that you are no longer driven
by old self-sabotaging habits, addictions,
or negative tendencies.

What a relief!

When those patterns release-even just a little
bit-and Law of Attraction gets hold of your
true brilliance and brings you more of that,
well, let's just say there are fireworks in
your field of attraction and you shine your
true light. This is the fast track to
success in any venture.

You may notice the results of this session in
funny ways. You may have an enhanced
feeling of rhythm in your body and you may
find yourself tapping your toe or wanting to
dance.

You may find the faces of the people you meet
to be unusually beautiful – friends, family
and strangers alike. When you see their
light shining through their human form, their
beauty is remarkable. That is one of the
probable results of this session.

You may have a surge of authentic positive
self-esteem. This is because as the ego
comes into balance, you can own your
magnificence in a way that does not threaten
others. In fact, it inspires the expression
of their greatness. Mutual appreciation
springs spontaneously from these
interactions.

I am honored by, and grateful for, the
opportunity to do this session for you.

With Love,
Rebbie

Abraham-Hicks Study Group: The Vortex – Call in on Monday

Posted on September 30, 2009 by admin

FREE YOFA Conference Call

5:30 PM Pacific / 8:30 PM Eastern
Find Your Time Zone Here

CLICK HERE To Register
by Joining the Study Group

The new Abraham-Hicks book The Vortex offers a precise understanding that can dramatically improve our lives. And it is simple: We consciously decide to pay attention to the relationship between the two Vibrational vantage points within us.

Two Hums

Right inside of you, at all times, there is the hum of what you are thinking about:

your financial situation
or your partner (or the lack of…)
or your body
or your job
or your car
or your home
or your parents
or your children

. . . and there is also the hum of what your Inner Being is thinking about those same subjects.

When those two hums are harmonious like a choir, you feel good.

When those two hums are divergent, clashing, and sound like a radio pulling in two stations at the same time, one with your favorite song playing and the other with a negative news bulletin, you feel bad.

And so, this book points to a very clear priority for us.

Our job is to pay attention to how we feel (easy!) and to take to heart the old Abraham-Hicks adage, "Nothing is more important than that I feel good."

Why?

Because when I feel good, I am in alignment with Source. When I feel bad, I am not.

Live Call

I promised a live call for this study group and I'm really looking forward to connecting with you on the phone.

Study group members will automatically receive the dial-in details. No need to sign up again.

Abraham-Hicks Study Group: The Vortex – Appreciating the Contrast – Part 2

Posted on September 18, 2009 by admin

CLICK HERE to Join this YOFA Study Group

CLICK HERE for the Official Abraham-Hicks Website

Appreciating the contrast – That's where we left off.

Let's pick it up right there.

I invite you to take a look at The Vortex, page 4, paragraphs 3 & 4.

Abraham is telling us that contrast is really variety. So there we are. We look around and we see things that are wanted and things that are unwanted. Usually, the next thing we do is get focused on eliminating the unwanted thing. Do you see that that comes form a place of disempowerment? Now, we can start to see that same unwanted thing as merely a choice that we don't take. And then we can get going on the joyful focus on (and creation of) what is wanted.

When we see the contrast as variety, and when we understand that we choose with our attention, we start to step more fully into freedom.

"…all choices are made by giving attention to something." Page 4 The Vortex

That means that every time we pay attention to something unwanted, we are choosing it.

Well, if you didn't understand about Law of Attraction, that might seem like an outrageous statement. But when you know that your thoughts are always attracting more thoughts that are like it, and when you understand that thoughts come together to form lived realities, it all starts to make sense.

So let's put this together with the last focus.

We came in with the intention to enjoy every moment.
When we lose touch with that enjoyment, it is a sign that we have forgotten who we are. (And some of you have acknowledged that by simply observing that, you are able to tap back into an awareness of your innate empowerment and freedom – Thank you for your comments).

Now we are going one step further. Now we see that your power is in your ability to deliberately place your attention. This is how you make your choices. It is elegantly simple. And not only that, but:

You are the only one who can do it (deliberately place your attention).
It costs nothing to do it (to choose your focus).
It can completely transform your life (deliberately placing your attention).

Negative Emotion

So, picking up from last time, when you find yourself upset about something, resistant, negatively focused, call it whatever you like, basically, when you are experiencing negative emotion in reaction to a person, a situation, a condition, now you realize that you are feeling powerless. That's what feels so bad. Feeling powerless feels bad because it is not who you are. You feel as though this troublesome person or thing or situation has more power in the unfolding of your life than you do.

Positive Emotion

Now, with this clear revelation, we're getting a big clue about where your power actually resides. It is in the simple ability to choose your focus. To deliberately place your attention. And when your (human) attention is in harmony with the attention of your Inner Being, the result is a feeling of positive emotion. (That is your emotional guidance system.)

In an earlier post I told you that I would occasionally point out where all this talk about The Vortex dovetails with The Yoga of Alignment (YOFA). If you are working with Rooted in the Infinite, you'll easily see that this deliberate placing of attention is a function of the Z-axis. You may find places in Rooted… where I talk about ping-pong balls, movie projectors, and a cascade of neutralization. These are all ways of picturing what's going on invisibly as you deliberately select your focus.

Try This

Let's take our last experiment a little further. When you've got something going on that you do not want, first watch your reaction. Remember that it's telling you very clearly whether you are looking at the situation from a perspective that is in harmony with your Inner Being or not.

If there is upset with someone, or something, or some group of people, or some condition, look at how you can, right in that moment, change your focus.

This is the beginning of one of the most powerful realizations. Here, our eyes become open to the knowing that can completely transform our lives. This is the shocking realization that it is not the person or the situation that is the real cause of our upset. And this is good news because if they were really the cause of our problems, we would really be powerless (because we cannot control them).

And now we find out that it is our own choice of where we put our attention that is the cause of our emotional state. And now we are free because that is the only thing we can control. When you get this, angels sing, flowers bloom, rainbows fill the sky. It's quite a moment.

Until the next…

With Love,
Rebbie

In the last focus, I asked you to consider Page 3 para. 3. of The Vortex by Esther and Jerry Hicks (The Teachings of Abraham)

I think I already mentioned we'd be going through this slowly, right?

Good, because now we move on to paragraph 4.

In respect for the copyright of this book, I will be using page and paragraph references most of the time, rather than direct quotes. I know this is less convenient, but while you have the book open, you can also get more context, read the surrounding ideas, and scribble in the margins to your heart's content.

Enjoyment

Ok, so last time we pondered the notion of going from enjoyment to enjoyment. We considered the idea of having set a pre-birth intention to enjoy every moment.

Now let's go a little further.

Please read the paragraph that begins with, "Before your birth into your physical body…" P3 p4

Contrast

Now, let's talk a little bit about contrast. Abraham often asks you if you have "come to appreciate the contrast of your time and place." Here, on page 3 of The Vortex, we're finding out that our relationships with each other are the primary source of the contrast we live. Interesting! And yet we welcome it (from our non-physical perspective). We love it. We can't get enough of it!

So please consider this:

When you:

·    are harmonized with your broader knowing
·    feel empowered
·    don't feel like a victim of the contrast you are living

. . . you welcome the contrast. You perceive the contrast as the birthplace of your expansion and your potential for joy.

Then, all these relationships that run hot and cold, with their highs and lows, and all the contrast we find with the people in our lives, it all becomes the raw material of joy.

So, now it is apparent that the idea of setting a pre-birth intention of enjoying every moment has infinite potential. But maybe not the way we thought at first.

Where we might have originally read that statement of an intention for continuous enjoyment and interpreted it to mean that life would be a series of enjoyable, pleasurable moments, we now see a completely different picture emerging.

And what a relief!

Because, if the fulfillment of our intention for enjoyment were dependent on conditions, we'd be in big trouble, fast.

Empowerment

But what a breath of fresh air it is to know that the contrast is welcome – that our enjoyment of the moment is not conditional – that we are in charge of our state, regardless of conditions. Whew! This is good news.

Well, maybe it's not news to you. Maybe you've gone to seminars and read books and you've held this conscious idea for many years. (Me too.) Good. Now we can all deepen our living of this knowing, no matter what our relationship to this truth is at this moment – whether it's old news or new news.

Try This

So here is a little game you can play. When you've got something going on that you do not want, watch your reaction. It will tell you very clearly whether you are looking at the situation from a perspective that is in harmony with your Inner Being or not.

If there is upset with someone or something or some group of people, or some condition, all that means is that the feeling is one of disempowerment. In that moment there is a feeling of being a victim. At this point, so early in our journey together, let's feel the empowerment of simply noticing these moments as they happen.

More to come…

With Love,
Rebbie

Abraham-Hicks Study Group: The Vortex – Categories of Comments

The comments (your comments) on this blog are the heart of this discussion. I've been enjoying sensing the high level of involvement in the book and the authenticity of the offerings of all of you who are part of this study group.

And so, of course I want to encourage the flow of your sharing as part of the joyful journey into, and back into, and back into The Vortex.

Here is a technical tuning I want to highlight today.

I received this email which told me that some clarification would be useful:

Hi Rebbie,
Thanks for starting the Votex group -love it! Just some quick feedback – when i came to post my comment, I could only find one area to comment. In a previous email, I thought you had created a section where we could share under different topics such as AHA, process etc, but i could only find a place to comment under the daily blog. Maybe it's hard to set up, but that would make it easier to keep all comments about the same topics in one place.

Thank you again for creating this gigantic flow of positive transformative energy xxx

It's true, there is only one place to comment. I was suggesting that you could make the first line of your comment a category if you like. That way readers can organize their reading of the comments in a way that suits their mood. Here were the suggested categories:

Question – This will be helpful to me so that I can scan through and get to questions as quickly as possible.
Aha – Good for sudden realizations.
Sharing – How it is working in your life.
Pondering – Think out "loud" as you process

Feel free to create your own category or to not use any.

With Love,
Rebbie

PS – I just left a comment on this post as an example.

How different would your life look if you went from enjoyment to enjoyment?

Listen to today's focus here:

[mc src="http://blogaudio.s3.amazonaws.com/vortex/yofa-vortex-sg-p3.mp3"/]

Today's focus may surprise you with its simplicity. And yet it is at the basis of everything we are about to do. (Can you see how this is a hint about your Inner Guidance System?)

And have you been reading the comments? They are uplifting and filled with light and wisdom. Your "word snapshots" of your process carry us all forward. Thank you for such beautiful participation.

Here is a suggestion from Cathy that I want to highlight for those who might not be aware of this:

I haven't received my book yet… it's on backorder from Hay House, but I thought I'd pass this on. You can subscribe to Abraham-Hicks' Daily LOA Quote at the link below. The quotes are all from 'The Vortex,' I believe. So, in a way I've gotten started with my reading.

http://www.abraham-hicks.com/lawofattractionsource/index.php

Yes, right now they are from "The Vortex" and what a great idea, especially for those who are eagerly waiting for the book!

Abraham-Hicks Study Group: The Vortex – Our Approach

Posted on September 10, 2009 by admin

CLICK HERE to Join this YOFA Study Group

CLICK HERE for the Official Abraham-Hicks Website

Part One of The Vortex by Esther and Jerry Hicks and Abraham is so concentrated that we could probably devote ourselves to that one section and never run out of juice.

I’d like to go through these mini-chapters with a fine tooth comb. So, I recommend that you read the book at your own pace, and let’s use this first segment of the book as a hub.

Feel free to refer to other parts of the book in your comments if you’ve read ahead. Think of our study as multidimensional and multi rhythmic.

Here’s what I mean by that:

Your individual reading, focus, and application of the book may run faster and include more specifics, while our study here is slow and deep. With time, you will see many connections between your own private exploration of this teaching and the conversations we are about to have.

So, let these two run side by side. Something wonderful is happening here.

Notes:

Abraham-Hicks
I’d like to take a moment here to thank Jerry and Esther and Abraham for their profound influence on my life. And since you are interested in "The Vortex," I want to encourage you to sign up for their tape programs, read their books, and go to their live workshops. (You probably already do all that!)

YOFA (The Yoga of Alignment)
I’d also like to take a moment to acknowledge that, since I’ll be leading this group, our focus will no doubt take on a YOFA flavor. I know some of you are deeply involved in the YOFA process of Inner Alignment while others may never have heard of it before. As we move through "The Vortex" I’ll be pointing out some of the beautiful dovetailing that occurs.

Q & A

A couple of people asked if this is a good book to start with if they’re new to the Abraham Teachings .

I answered one of these questions as follows:

I think it's just fine to jump right in with this book.

If you really want to get one other book as a foundation, I'd get "Ask and it is Given." But really, Abraham is always full and complete in each now so I think you'll be just fine.

Also, have you heard their intro recordings? You can listen or download for free here:

I invite your input to help the newcomers feel their way through this rich material. How would you answer that question?

With Love,
Rebbie

Abraham-Hicks Study Group: The Vortex – Jerry's Preface/Stable Footing/Your Intention

Posted on September 10, 2009 by admin

Focus: Pages xi-xvii Preface by Jerry Hicks

Jerry describes the "hub" of the Abraham teachings as follows:

"The basis of life is freedom; the result of life is expansion–and the purpose of life is joy."

=========================
We interrupt this broadcast…
=========================

Well, I wrote that yesterday in preparation for this post, but as life would have it, some blessed contrast caught my attention between then and now. So, with Jerry's quote as a backdrop, let me tell you what just happened.

I was riding in my friend's car, "The Vortex" and pencil in hand, re-reading chapter one. Basking in the wonderful feeling of our upcoming study group, appreciating the pull to read even more carefully because of my role in all this, I was marking up a storm in the book.

Beautiful day, we stopped, I got out of the car, lost my footing, injured my ankle and was now back in the car seat, ice, moans, groans, and having a harder time finding my way back into The Vortex.

Once the pain came down to a dull roar, I picked up my book again. "Hmm. Where was I? Let me start reading again to remind myself what's important here."

I found the last line that I had read and underlined. There it was on page 9. – Oh by the way, although I probably will not get around to posting this today, today's date is 09/09/09:

"Without exception, the flawed premise or unstable footing that most people stand on is because they care more about what someone else is thinking about them than how they themselves are feeling." – from The Vortex – Abraham-Hicks

Well, there was my first big "step one experience" to "kick" off our group with a bang. Now I am excited. Better understanding what "unstable footing" really means, I can see I've got my work cut out for me. I call it "work" but it is thrilling to anticipate the journey of caring less what others think and tuning more into how I feel.

So let's begin with these two notions:

"The basis of life is freedom; the result of life is expansion–and the purpose of life is joy."
"Without exception,the flawed premise or unstable footing that most people stand on is because they care more about what someone else is thinking about them than how they themselves are feeling."

Those who want to be actively involved in this group, please do 2 things right now:

Since there are so many people interested in this group, please register here so that I can communicate with you more easily:
SIGN UP FOR THIS GROUP HERE
Start getting your hands in the clay and comment below. Make a rough statement of your intention.
The focus offered in this book can generate a complete transformation in your life.

Start pondering these 2 quotes (above) and write your thoughts in the comment field below. Since this is a process, your comment does not need to be a finely crafted purpose statement for your life. Write down a "work in progress" rough sketch of your intention in reading this book and in intensifying your reading by joining in this group. Make it as general or specific as you like. You can and will continually amend your intention.

By writing, you sharpen your focus and tune your point of attraction.

You also heighten your inner guidance. Pay special attention to how you feel as you write. I love when something I think is true for me feels wrong when I write it. It gives me clarity about a place where I am off track and I can look more purely into my heart for what my true desire is. This is a great way to more finely tune in to your Inner Guidance.

As always, I am deeply honored that you join me on this journey.

With Love,
Rebbie

I love all the email I receive from the members of the YOFA jhe Sessions. I love hearing the concrete details of how these abstract, hard-to-describe, invisible, remote inner alignment sessions are are working in your life.

It's like planting a seed. An apple seed looks nothing like an apple. A watermelon seed tastes nothing like a watermelon. And yet, the full, colorful, delicious fruit lives somehow in that seed.

The jhe sessions are like seeds and they come into individual fruition for everyone on the list in very personal ways.

Here is a fun little sequence of emails I recieved from one of the members of the jhe Sessions that illustrates this:

June 3

Hi Rebbie,

I am having a busy but very good day. I actually think I look different. I have not been told I look great in a while but I was today – and with no makeup! My allergies seem to have calmed down. And I weigh a pound less…
My buyer who was dragging his feet finally made a counter offer. Yeah!

June 4

If the "wave of alignment" gets better I just might soon have heaven on earth! Two contracts are almost ratified – and without tons of energy. I'm believing life is now getting better and better.

June 24

My general impression is that "this stuff definitely works!" I won't say I really understand any of it, but, who cares? I know my life seems to be going MUCH better. Most things seem easier and my responses are more balanced when I am under pressure. (I sell real estate so it can be stressful at times.) I feel more serene and organized – lighter.

July 2

Since I signed up for the jhe sessions, I feel like my life is becoming better every day. Thank you for doing these sessions from the bottom of my heart.

July 22 (after writing to me about having a difficult day)

Thank you, Rebbie – I had a major shift in my energy between 5 – 6pm so it definitely helped. I did not know until just now that you had done the session. Thank you – you are such a blessing….

People often wonder how the YOFA jhe Sessions can possibly translate into money, financial abundance, and a manifestation of material prosperity.

In this examnple, you can see that it is always through a mingling of joy, lightness, ease, and a releasing of resistance that true prosperity comes. You can also see that it travels through the pathways that are already in motion in your life. Here it is through real estate. Who knows how the manifestation of joy, healing, love, and prosperity will emerge in your life? Sign up here. Check the bonuses worth $94 here.

With Love and Appreciation,

Today's YOFA jhe Session:
How Apparent Problems Dissolve into Nothingness

Posted on August 7, 2009 by admin

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Listen to Rebbie here:

[mc src="http://jhe.s3.amazonaws.com/yofa-jhe-session-08-07-09.mp3"/]

I did a YOFA jhe Session for you who are on the YOFA jhe list today.

As a result of this session, I expect you to feel noticeably more at home in your body, in your life, and in the broader evolution of you soul.

I also expect things that have felt like major obstacles in some area of your life to begin to dissolve.

The effect of today's alignment transcends the desires of this lifetime and brings your current awareness into harmony with the desires and intentions that you have set in motion previously. Even in innumerable past lifetimes.

The effect is one of feeling embraced, swaddled, and loved – especially loved – by your past incarnations. Like you have this invisible team of "yous" cheering you on, understanding why you do what you do and nurturing your development into the you you desire to be.

The way you may notice this as in an unusual richness in your experience. You may feel things more deeply, see things with more detail, perceive more connections between things, understand things more profoundly, love more purely. It can feel like the tapestry of your ancient journey is revealing some of its golden threads that let you feel connected with the timeless beauty of your essence.

When you connect a little more than usual, even unconsciously, with the broader design of your soul's journey, something wonderful happens.

Things that you have been perceiving as stuck, as unchanging obstacles or solid problems start to reveal their lightness. They begin to float like bubbles suspended in the air. They can even begin to pop like bubbles. And then, they are gone.

The reason this can happen is simple. The problems never really were solid. As you come into alignment with your soul's truth, you see more truly. And what appeared as in impossible to solve problem turns out to be a distortion. Like a funhouse mirror. And once your energy field is better aligned, and accurate perception is restored, you see a clear pathway to the solution of what seemed to be an insoluble problem just a moment ago.

Now the question always is, how directly will you feel or manifest the results that I am describing here.

I'm sure there is a range from very obvious, full-blown manifestation to more subtle or even imperceptible changes in the configuration of your energy field.

The jhe Sessions are a cumulative process and so sometimes the sessions are working underground, other times they are at the point of full fruition.

At the very least, I expect you to feel greater, ease, comfort, and a feeling of being lovingly held in spirit.

At the other end of the spectrum, you may have a major breakthrough with something that has been troublesome for you – maybe for a very long time.

However this session shows up in your unique life journey, it is my intention for it to be profoundly beneficial to the experience and expression of the love in your heart.

With Love,
Rebbie
