Happy New Year my friends.

I want to talk to you today about all those very powerful desires that you may be formulating right now.

(Scroll down to listen.)

[mc id=”443″ type=”audio”]Quick Tips for Manifesting Your Heart’s Desire: Bite Sized Applications of Law of Attraction – Abraham-Hicks Study Group: The Vortex – Happy New Year![/mc]

Are you creating a list of resolutions, goals or intentions for the New Year?  I love doing that because this shifting of the calendar gives us an amplified feeling of a clean slate.  And a clean slate brings with it a feeling that anything is possible.  So we feel empowered as we look at desires that we may even have become very frustrated about in the past.  And now, with the New Year we have a renewed sense of possibility.  A rising of a feeling of empowerment and freedom to live the life your heart desires.

I was just listening to an Abraham CD and I want to share with you a perspective that dovetails perfectly with this energy of the New Year.

“When we speak of your past present and future, we acknowledge that during your past and even your present you are launching vibrational requests forward into your vibrational reality… What you call your future manifested reality is what we see as your present vibrational reality.”

From the teachings of Abraham www.abraham-hicks.com

And so as we celebrate this landmark in time, and we look at the past year as the past and the new year as the future and we see our desires and goals as incomplete in the now and hopefully fulfilled in the future, we are not taking the Vortex into account.

My suggestion to you as you engage in this fun ritual of prepaving the New Year is to include your awareness of The Vortex. It’s really just a simple flip of a switch.

Instead of seeing the items on your list as things you want to manifest as future realities, acknowledge them as your present vibrational reality.

Then you can resolve all your resolutions into one simple aim:  to be become a vibrational match to the you who lives in your Vortex.

Happy 2010!

With Love,
Rebbie

YOFA Meditation for Upliftment

YOFA Meditation to Reverse Holiday DepressionClick the play button below to listen to this post.

As we get close to the holidays it seems like some people get very happy and full of holiday cheer.

Others have a tendency to get depressed.

Still others are dealing with major life challenges and while they may really want to feel happy and full of cheer, they find it difficult to get into the spirit.

[mc id=”425″ type=”audio”]Quick Tips for Manifesting Your Heart’s Desire: Bite Sized Applications of Law of Attraction – A YOFA Meditation to Move from Holiday Depression to Natural Upliftment[/mc]

So, today, I want to give you a very quick meditation that you can use to lift your spirits just in case you are struggling with any of the difficult emotions that tend to ride in on the holidays.  And as an aside, if you deal with depression you can visit the website http://yofa.net/getlight and sign up for the free program there that will help you find a completely new way feeling better emotionally.

So, we’re talking about lifting your spirits but, actually, the expression “lift your spirits” is not very accurate.

Here’s why:

From the perspective of your physical human personality, your spirit is always rising.  It’s like a helium balloon. It is lighter than air.  It lives in the up direction.

I’ve been talking a lot about the Y-axis lately.  There is this vertical line of force that runs through your upright spine.  I call this the Y-axis and it is what you might want to call the spiritual axis within the human system.  And there is startling information on the Y-axis and how to engage it in meditation in the book Rooted in the Infinite.  More than I can go into here.  You can find out more at http://rootedintheinfinite.com/

So the Y-axis is the vertical line of energy running through your upright spine.

It provides what I like to call the “up-force.”  And so you don’t lift your spirits.  And a good movie or a loving friend’s phone call doesn’t lift your spirits.

It feels like it does.

But what is really going on here is what we think of as that “uplifting” influence helps you release your resistance to the already lifted state of your spirit.

And once there is even a little bit less resistance, you feel uplifted.  You know how they cut the sandbags off a hot air balloon and it goes up?  Well, when you cut the sandbags of resistance off of your awareness, your sprit lifts.

It lifts all by itself.  That is its natural state:  Upliftment. Joy. Empowerment. Freedom.

So, if you feel worried, anxious or depressed, you can cut some of those emotional sandbags and find some relief.  And in some cases this can happen very quickly.

Now, here’s the peculiar part of all this.

When we feel heavy and depressed, when we feel overburdened and hopeless, we have a tendency to get confused about what to do about it.

This Doesn’t Work…

And since we know all about gravity, we believe that what goes up must come down so we try to “lift our spirits.”

But this doesn’t really work.

When you try to lift your spirits, you are in effect trying to hold up your own Y-axis. (Remember, the Y-axis is the vertical line of energy that runs through your upright spine. And its natural direction is up.)

That would be like getting in a hot air balloon and trying to lift the balloon with your muscle power.  You won’t go very far.

This Does Work

But when you cut the sandbags and let the hot air balloon do what it naturally does, you go up.

And the same is true emotionally.

When you release resistance and let your sprit do what it naturally does, you feel uplifted.

When you release your burden you naturally rise.

So, today, I’d like to give you a very quick little Y-axis meditation that is intended to have the effect of lifting your sprits.  But you and I both know that that is not what it is doing at all.

It does feel that way though.

This mediation is actually intended to help you release resistance so that you naturally and effortlessly feel better emotionally.  This is another Y-axis meditation.

Try This:

Sit upright, and close your eyes.

Sense, feel, or visualize a beam of white light running vertically through the center of you.  It begins at the center of the earth and continues through you and beyond, into the unknown reaches of the sky.

Your body is like a straw and this light energy pours through it in the most easy and comfortable way imaginable.

This beam of light is made of pure love.  It feels peaceful and kind.  As it flows through you it is infinitely compassionate toward you. Feel your posture shift to accommodate your growing awareness of this core of love that flows through your energetic spine.

And as you become more and more aware of this energy, whether you can feel it or not, whether your can picture it or not, even if it is just a thought in your mind, as you become more and more aware of this energy, its field of love and peace and ease and acceptance of all that you are begins to permeate your body.  All your cells become magnetized to this unconditional love at the core of you.

This peace permeates your mind so that all thought forms turn themselves around in space until they find an alignment that is harmonious with the love and peace at the core of you.

For just these few moments, your mind and body rest, floating in the field of love and peace that is generated by the love light flowing through the straw of your human instrument.

You can stay in this awareness and bask in the energy field for as long as you like.  When you are ready open your eyes and step into your life empowered by this alignment.

With Love and Appreciation,
Rebbie

Inner Alignment Meditation: The Time is Now

Rooted in the Infinite

You carry the now around with you.  I know that may seem like a strange way to understand your relationship with the mystical now.  If you get really quiet, you might be able to feel the now breathing through the vertical energy of your spine.  I like to call that your energetic spine.  And I like to call the vertical axis that runs through your upright spine the Y-axis.   And so the Y-axis meditation (which is how we align with the vertical) offers a direct route to awakening to the now within our awareness.

[mc id=”414″ type=”audio”]Untitled Media[/mc]

Meditation for Spiritual Awareness

If you come to the YOFA system of Inner Alignment seeking spiritual awareness and upliftment, the Y-axis meditation is all that is needed. Its orientation gives you access to the spiritual awakening that you seek.

Meditation for All Other Reasons

If you come to this system seeking healing, loving relationships, prosperity and all other forms of joyful manifestation, the Y-axis meditation is the starting point.  It’s always the starting point.  And no other axis can replace it.  At least not as long as you are living here on earth!

(You can find out the inner meaning of the 3 dimensions and the 3 axes and their relationship to the earth in Rooted in the Infinite.)

So you can see that your alignment with the vertical is a fundamental aspect of the YOFA system.  As you work with the meditations in the book, I’d like you to give special attention to the Y-axis.  Like the trunk of a tree, it is the basis from which everything else that we do in this system branches.

Try This

Sit upright.  Feel the vertical “up force” as it lifts you from within. Allow all your muscles to relax so that you become a vertically balanced system.  Energy within you moves up and your relaxed muscles cooperate with gravity.  Feel the peace and stability that result from this awareness.  This is a wonderful structure for the now to live in as you.

‘Serving the Emerging Paradigm’ – Rev Michael Beckwith

Rev. Michael Beckwith is inviting us to ask the question, “How can I serve?”

As a YOFA® exercise to support this message, please read the section of Rooted in the Infinite entitled “Karma” that begins on page 124 of the book.  Then, as you do your Inner Alignment meditations, bring the words, “How can I serve?” into your practice.

Notice the difference in quality as you flow this question along the X-axis vs. flowing it along the Z-axis.  Your insights are welcome here.

With Love and Gratitude,
Rebbie

For a full training in the inner meanings of these axes and how to transform all aspects of your life using the YOFA system of Inner Alignment, follow the instructions in the book Rooted in the Infinite

Uncommon Gratitude – Developing Negatives into Positives

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD “UNCOMMON GRATITUDE”

A few years ago I gave a seminar called “Uncommon Gratitude.”  I thought this was a good day to revive the message. You can download the recording for free by clicking the link above.  And as usual with this sort of digital offering, you’ll be entering your name and email address in order to get access.  That’s become pretty standard.

On a nuts and bolts level, it gives me a way to make sure you get the material.  It also gives me a way to follow up with you, etc.  But there is much more to this exchange than meets the eye.  And that’s why I’m writing to you – I want to thank you for that extra piece.

If you got an email sending you to this blog post it’s because somewhere along the line you entered your email address on one of my websites.  And when you did that, you may have gotten an ecourse or a teleseminar or recording.  I, on the other hand, received your openness to my message.  I received some level of your interest, your trust, and your attention.  And in this explosion of information that we call our daily lives, I consider that a huge honor.  Even a moment of your attention is a gift that I do not take lightly.

And so, my message to you today is “thank you.”  Thank you for opening my emails.  Thank you for considering my messages.  Thank you for the energy exchange that happens between us.  This may sound corny, but I really do cherish the relationship that we have.  Most of us would not know each other if we bumped into each other on the street.  And yet, on some level we know each other’s purest heart.

And so, this is my long winded way of saying, any time you enter your name and email address on one of my webpages, I want you to know that I am honored, I am grateful for the opportunity to interact with you and I value your time and attention.  To you who I consider part of the YOFA family, thank you!

With Love,

This is a distilled message.

I’ve boiled down pages of info into just a couple of key ideas.

On the other hand, I know that these promotional emails can be overwhelming.

On top of that, these launches seem to come in waves.  So you may notice you don’t get many of these emails from me for a while, then you get a whole bunch.

So, in an effort to give you the most value with the least words, here is my distilled message for today:

Reach Into the Bag of Your Life Experience and Pull Out Money

You have money that you don’t know you have. 

It is hiding in your life experience.  I want you to learn how to extract the money that is woven into your past journey and not only bring it forward in your life, but help others in the process.

I want you to prosper.  And I have a feeling I know a way that you can make money that you have not thought about.  Or if you did think about it, you didn’t know how to get started. 

Here is what I recommend:

Find something you know about and love, maybe a hobby,  a talent, a passion.  And then what?  Teach others.  Knowledge that you take for granted is like gold to those who are seeking it.  And they will pay you to stay home, and teach them over the phone.  How do you do it?  Find out here

I want to begin today’s focus with what I always thought was a nursery rhyme.  It turns out it’s a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.  Apparently he wrote this with his baby in his arms. 

You probably know it:

There was a little girl,
    Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
    When she was good,
    She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

    — Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

This poem comes to my mind right now as I think about myself (minus the curl).

You see, sometimes I access mystical states of awareness.  Sometimes I extract wisdom from the living of my life in a way that is thrilling to me.  And I receive feedback (for which I am very grateful) that my insights are helpful to others.  Sometimes I am "very good indeed." And when I am in those states I love pouring those realizations into writing or recordings or some form of expression so that I can have an imprint of that moment or that awareness.  And, as you might guess, I do my best to let that be the side of me that acts as my public persona.

Well, then there’s the part of me that my friends and family know.  This is the part that can get hooked into focusing on what is not wanted in a way that is not fun to be around.  And while these moments are difficult, they do provide sharp contrast that sooner or later turns into an article or a website or something useful in the YOFA system.

Well, the reason I’m telling you all this is because I was just in one of these states. In fact it started yesterday. I went to sleep with something unwanted on my mind, woke up with it, and had been obsessing and getting myself more and more upset about it all day, and it’s really a relatively unimportant event in the greater scheme of things.

Finally it occurred to me to use the YOFA Gateway into the Vortex which is a website I had created for my own personal use for moments just like this.  It’s got two main tools for getting me back in the Vortex – the Simple Gateway and the Profound Gateway.  I decided this was a job for the Profound Gateway because I was pretty steeped in seeing the worst possible aspects of this situation.  In fact I was so convinced of how justified I was to be disappointed and bummed out about this particular subject that when I opened the Profound Gateway webpage and began doing the process, I found myself unable to answer the questions in a useful way.

Now mind you, I am the one who created this gateway tool.  Well, it’s a matter of semantics.  It was the me who is very very good who created it.  Now it was the me who is horrid who was trying to use it!

So here is what I did. I clicked on the video tutorial and I went question-by-question, listening to what the in-the-Vortex version of me had to say about how to answer each of the questions.  So there we were.  The in-the-Vortex version of me offering a  hand to the out-of the-Vortex version of me.  And by going question by question, with the video in one tab of my browser and the profound gateway in another tab, I moved through the  process and came out so transformed that I felt inspired to express it here.  Because now, suddenly I am the in-the-Vortex version of me.  And when that happens, this is what I do.  I write, or I somehow share how I got here. 

In fact, I can pretty much guarantee that if I did not have a way of getting myself so far out of the vortex and then so consistently finding my way back in, there would be no YOFA! 

So here are the points that I want to make today.

  1. If you are using the YOFA Gateway into Vortex (simple or profound), which is the tools set at http://HappyintheVortex.com , and you are having trouble finding your way into the contemplation, here is what I recommend: Use the video tutorial as a step by step coach helping you answer each question.
  2. If you, too, have a very very good (in-the-Vortex) version of yourself and a very very horrid (out-of-the-Vortex) version of yourself that you are very very familiar with, here is what I recommend.  Take a moment to:
    1. Thank your out-of-the-Vortex self for stimulating all that great contrast which puts better and better things in your Vortex.
    2. Thank the in-the-Vortex version of yourself for being so magnificent and lending a hand to you when you are out of the vortex.

And if you are wondering how to do that, you can begin with the scripts you create with the Gateway processes.

In the website you’ll be contemplating questions that bring you into the Vortex and you’ll be typing in the answers (your unique answers).  Then, you take the script that is created, (and that will be a very in-the-Vortex script) and save it. Then, the next time you are horrid, you can simply read this script, you can carry it in your wallet for those moments.  Then the two of you (both are you) can keep tossing the ball back and forth.  You help yourself by getting out of the Vortex and experiencing the contrast, then you help yourself by getting in the vortex and being the joyful loving being that you truly are, then you help yourself by getting out of the vortex again, then you help yourself by getting back in the Vortex…

And this volley that happens is the grist for the mill.  It’s the stuff of your life and it becomes very joyful when you know that you’re empowered to go in the Vortex and go out of the Vortex and go in the Vortex.  You discover the joy of the journey.

I wish you love,
Rebbie

 [mc src=”http://podcast-qt.s3.amazonaws.com/yofa-vortex-11-11-09.mp3″/]
Abraham (www.abraham-hicks.com) has been teaching us one exquisitely simple lesson for many years now. In fact, the word "simple" is a very accurate word for the teaching because one of the meanings of the word "simple" is "single."

Abraham teaches us that there is a single flow of well being.  One stream.

Now here is the part where the whole living of your life unfolds.

At any given moment, you are either allowing that stream or resisting it.

Can it be any simpler than that?

Abraham has been giving us process after process to help us do the only thing that we need to do in order to live a joyful, satisfying life. And since there are only two ways that we basically interact with the stream of well being (which is that we can allow it or resist it), there are two ways to express our job in life.  We can say that all we need to do in any situation is to allow the stream.  The other way to phrase it is to say that all we need to do is to release our resistance to the stream of well being.

So, when Abraham talks about the Vortex, and how to get into the Vortex, we can understand that this is the same as being in the allowing mode.

Simple.

Elegant.

You can apply this to anything that is going on in your life.

From relationships, to body conditions, to politics, to grandma’s cookie recipe, you can always tell whether you are allowing or resistant by the way you feel.

And so, what happens after a while is that you realize that it is your state that matters much more than the subject of your focus. 

So let’s say you look at a political situation that angers you.  You feel like people are abusing their power and you don’t like the decisions they are making.  The tendency is to get more deeply involved in the subject matter.

Now, I think you can see that taking action from a place of negative emotion is all out-of-the-vortex-action and it is very inefficient.

It becomes clear that your primary work is to get in the Vortex and then let your action be inspired by the joy you experience when you think of what is wanted rather than the anger you feel when you think of what is not wanted.

And when you take action from within the Vortex, you are powerful, effective, and beneficial to everyone who is touched by your plans.

So here’s what I’d like you to do:

  1. Start noticing which subjects in your life seem more important to you than being in the Vortex. 
  2. Start getting into the Vortex on those subjects. 
  3. Notice how rapidly your life transforms.

How do you get in the Vortex?  That is not the subject of this particular post, but you’ll find the answers in the book The Vortex and you can accelerate the process with the tools at http://HappyintheVortex.com

With Love and Appreciation,
Rebbie

Flawed Premise #2 is on page 15 of The Vortex.

(I’m giving page references rather than quoting everything here on the blog to respect the copyright of the book.)

I’d like to ask you to consider flawed premise #2, not only regarding your parents, but also regarding anyone else who you see as an authority figure.

How often do you give up authority to someone else?  How often do you assume someone else knows better than you what is good for you?

And since we all do this to one degree or another, what can you do, or what are you doing, to reinstate your inner guidance as the primary authority in your life?

I invite you to contemplate this last question. What can you do in your life to highlight your inner guidance and your relationship to it?

Looking forward to your insights. . .

With Love,
Rebbie
