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

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:

  1. "The basis of life is freedom; the result of life is expansion–and the purpose of life is joy."
  2. "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:

  1. 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
  2. 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

Abraham-Hicks Study Group: The Vortex – Step One – Get the Book

Wow.  What a great response to the idea of a study group. Okay.  We’re on.

If you just landed here, to fill you in, yesterday I sent out a mailing suggesting a blog-based study group focused on the Abraham-Hicks book The Vortex. I said if we had 20 comments on yesterday’s blog post by the end of the week, I’d do it.  If we had 40 comments I’d lead a live teleseminar.

Well, within 2 or 3 hours we had 40 comments. Now there are even more. Thank you for so clearly expressing your interest. I hear you!

So, here’s the plan:

Since so many of you already have the book, we’ll get going very soon.

Today I want to cover 2 main points:

  1. Get the book if you don’t already have it.
    • Special offers when you buy the book:
      •   Even if you already bought the book, you might still be eligible.
  2. The focus/purpose/aim of this study group.

SPECIAL OFFERS ON THE ABRAHAM-HICKS BOOK THE VORTEX

  • Hay House has very generously put together some audio bonuses when you buy the book from them.
  • Hay House has also organized some tasty bundles at discount prices
  • If you prefer to buy the book on Amazon or B&N (or if you already did) you can still get bonus recordings and enter a contest to win Abraham goodies. Click here and scroll down and click on the book. In the middle of the page you will see the words "Hay House is offering a variety of prizes and gifts to celebrate the release of The Vortex"

THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY GROUP

It’s kind of funny to use the word "study" because this is far from an intellectual pursuit.  We are involved in an experiential/vibrational process as we immerse ourselves in this material.  And yet the word "study" pleases me because it implies deliberate focus.  And that is closer to the point.

One way to describe the purpose of this study group is to use the power of our virtual connection with each other to create a hum.  Like a vibrational choir – one that you hear with your heart rather than your ears.  That hum is in harmony with the Vortex of Creation that is individual for each one of us and yet rings out in the richness of all of our relationships.

A simpler way to say it is that the purpose of this study group is to encourage us all to get in the Vortex.

HOW TO USE THIS GROUP

We tend to read passively.  This blog now offers you another option.  You are invited to read, digest, move the message through the uniqueness of your life, and then share something that others will read. You also have the good fortune to be able to read what other wise travelers experience with the book as they comment here. I’ll offer the structure and do my best to answer questions, but this is your show. You get to shine your light here.  Get to know each other. Have some fun. Let’s see how it goes!

If you like, you can begin your comments with a one word category. Here are some suggestions:

  • 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

You can also indicate the page(s) that prompted your comment.  That way the others in the group can refer back to the book for greater insight into your comment.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Please comment with any format related suggestions, questions, or celebrations.

See you in the Vortex,
Rebbie

Abraham-Hicks: The Power of the Mind

CLICK HERE to Join this YOFA "The Vortex" Study Group

"I Have Complete Control Over My Own Thoughts… You can find yourself in an endless loop where you explain that you feel negative because of the negative behavior of someone else. But if, instead, you take control of your own emotions and you think an improved thought because it feels better to do so, you will discover that no matter how the negative trend got started, you can turn it around. You have no real control of what anyone else is doing with their Vibration (or with their actions, for that matter), but you have complete control over your own thoughts, Vibrations, emotions, and point of attraction."

 

From "The Vortex" – Abraham-Hicks

 So many people think of staunch stoicism when the idea of controlling the mind enters a conversation.  It’s like you must become the general of an army to control your thoughts.  It sounds like really hard work. You need a uniform or a badge and as you start policing your thoughts they just get more outrageously misbehaved.

Abraham (Abraham-Hicks) offers a completely different approach to the notion of controlling your thoughts. And in my experience it is way more effective. Rather than conjuring law enforcement images with our thoughts as the criminals, Abraham’s approach inspires the fresh breeze of freedom. It conjures bread crumb trails through the forest, flowing streams, and now, the Vortex.

By using what some might call the power of the subconscious mind, Abraham maps out a plan based on joy.  Some people call it the power of the subconscious mind because they recognize that it takes no conscious effort.  It seems to happen all on its own.

The ease of including Law of Attraction in your plans makes controlling your thoughts natural, spontaneous and almost effortless.  It does takes some effort to set the wave in motion, but once you take conscious control of your focus, the rest happens thanks to Law of Attraction.

David Wolfe’s Longevity NOW! revealed

davidwolfe4.jpg

CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO

David Wolfe has put together a program that I am recommending to everyone who has a body.

The cutting edge information that he offers in this program is the type of information that is usually VERY hard to find, even harder to understand, and practically impossible to apply.

David has packaged it in a way that is:

  • so simple
  • and USABLE

…that it feels a little bit like a miracle. 

I don’t know about you, but I have not spent every day of my adult life researching the best ways to eat.  David has.

I have spent every day, for many many years, studying Law of Attraction and tuning myself to my inner guidance.  And as I listen to David talk, I feel my energy move toward the knowledge he is sharing. My inner guidance is saying, "Yes!" to Longevity NOW!

As a certified clinical nutritionist, I can easily recognize the difference between nutritional hype and true food wisdom. 

This is wisdom folks.  And I urge you to listen.  If joy, freedom, love, and kindness are what you’re after, why not let your body support you on that soul satisfying journey?

Abraham-Hicks: Alignment and Co-Creation

 

Abraham tells us that everything contains what is wanted and lack of it.

==>> Everything! 

Wait a minute. Even this?  (Fill in your most uncomfortable situation.)

==>> Yeah. Even this.

I’m reminded of the feeling of the timing involved in going through a revolving door…with a great big backpack on. 

Or jumping into double dutch jump ropes (I really wonder how these sensory memories come up from my childhood when I sit down to write to you in these articles.)

It’s this sense of perfect timing that moves in rhythm with what is already in motion.  And we jump in and become one with the wave.  That sensation of belonging, of being part of the dynamic creative life force that includes the genius and brilliance of others – that is an enormous joy.  I’ve had that feeling of blissful cocreating with others more than a few times in my life and there are very few things that can even come close to that experience of uplift.

And it moves to a rhythm.  And when you get in that groove, you slide effortlessly into uplifting relationships with others. And every time the jump rope hits the pavement (hey, I grew up in Queens) or the physical manifestation sounds the rhythm of your cocreation, you feel it through your whole being.

Abraham talks about coming into alignment and then co-creating with others.  Let’s look for a minute at the very deliberate order of this.

"It is easier, really, to come into alignment by withdrawing from others."  These Abraham words ring loud and clear to my hermitish personality and lifestyle.  And I express this quite literally on a regular basis.  The YOFA® system begins with withdrawal (in the yogic sense of pratyahara) for the purpose of alignment.

While practicing the YOFA® inner alignment exercises, you are quite removed from the things in your life that might cause you to tense up, resist, or "paddle upstream." They might be sitting right beside you (piles of papers, email, grouchy spouse, no spouse, etc), but while you practice your inner alignment, you are so deeply concentrated on your process that those annoyances fade from your awareness.

Unlike mere distractions, these exercises build stability and strength in the energetic field that you call you.  This field is really a vortex and the more you do the exercises, the more this sacred vortex develops integrity as an energy structure. 

With time and practice, you can allow more life force, more joy, more Divine Love, to flow through you.  You become a great big instrument of Light and Love walking around your neighborhood, spinning with others through revolving doors, playing jump rope with your daily challenges, or doing whatever you do however you do it. 

After 5, 10, maybe 20 minutes of inner alignment meditation, then what? Time to take your finely tuned energy field out for a spin. Go to the most crowded, busy street in your town or city.  Mix it up.  Talk to strangers. Pick up litter (that’s one of my favorites). Do whatever you feel inspired to do.  Follow your heart and see where it leads you.  (Your alignment always leads you to love.)

You can begin a practice of Inner Alignment meditation with the exercises in the book Rooted in the Infinite

Law of Attraction: Love Your Resistance?

simple.gifEvery month I give an online workshop for a small group of advanced students of Law of Attraction.  The workshop consists of recordings, processes, and then a live teleseminar/webcast.

In the last workshop, I had the participants draw a map of their journey in a way that promotes profound compassion for your past.  This process grew out of a realization I had that involved B.B. King, yogurt, TImes Square, and the Catresian coordinates. I won’t take you through the whole trail of events but the short version of the story is that there is trememdous power in embracing past resistance.  We don’t often think kindly toward our negative staes, but there is a time to love them and it is simple: always love past resistance in the now.  The result is major release of resistance in the now.

Here is an email I received about this workshop :

Dear Rebbie:

I want to say THANK YOU to you, Kathy and Grace for a FANTASTIC workshop last night.  It was perfect for me.  I had not completely finished the homework due to scheduling but I had done enough to understand what was going on with the drawing of the picture etc.  Having done a Visioning seminar this past weekend in Chicago with Michael Beckwith and Rickie Byars Beckwith, I was in a strange zone and I guess not courageous enough to be live on the phone with you all.  I went online instead.  So the experience of Kathy’s cruise helped me tremendously.  I am still in a zone and have to go through the uncomfortable feelings to get to the next step in my expansion, but I wanted to express my deepest and sincere gratitude to you for all you give me.  I may be silent during this time but I am here.

Have a magnificent day.

Namaste,
Linda

Linda’s email reminded me that not everyone wants to share and participate, and there are those moving quietly and privately through this material.  And so this is a quick note to let you know that whether you participate on the call or not, you are included in the space of the workshops and your energy contributes to the advancement of everyone’s process.

Once again, that part is invisible, but it’s there. 

The great authenticity you bring to your own private work with the lessons uplifts the whole group. Thank you to all who are part of the YOFA Results Workshop — vocal or silent.

Receiving Law of Attraction’s Gifts

yofa-wind.jpgThe YOFA jhe Sessions do not fit neatly into the categories of "energy healing" or "remote healing."  Since my training and experience of decades has charged my hands and my consciousness for what the world likes to call healing, I use those words so that if you are looking for what I am doing, you can find me.  

But I prefer to call what I do YOFA jhe Sessions.  It just makes more sense. 

  • These sessions are based on the system I call YOFA® (I teach this in the book Rooted in the Infinite). 
  • They promote jhe (joyful harmonious expressiveness)
  • and they are provided via remote sessions

So, YOFA jhe Sessions. Good name, right?  Well, yeah if you like made-up words (which I obviously do).  But if you are looking for what is provided by the jhe sessions, how in the world will you find them if I’m using made up words?  Hmmm.  Guess it’s all in the great big hands of Law of Attraction. (bye bye Google, hello loa)

Here is the email update that went out to the YOFA jhe Sessions members today.  If this is what you are looking for and Law of Attraction brought you here (and even if Google did) you can get on the list here.

I did a YOFA jhe Session for you today.

Have you ever felt the freshness of the air
after a big windstorm?

Today’s session took any accumulation of
conflict, tension, frustration, and upset
that may have been hovering in your internal
environment and, like a storm, blew it right
"outahere."

As a result of this session I expect you to
feel the following:

1 – You feel more at peace with your current
condition and more accepting of your sweet
self (for better or for worse, in sickness
and in health, etc). This provides the
crucial step of releasing resistance and it
is the beginning of the manifestation of
everything you want.

It is also the beginning of feeling good
right here right now which is the only reason
you want those other things anyway.

2 – You start to see the solutions to your
so-called problems that have been right in
front of your nose all along.  When you
notice the words running though your head
like, "That’s so obvious!" or "How did I not
see that before?"  you’ll know that the wind
storm blew the fog and smog from your mind
and now you are seeing clearly.  Your heart
is back in command (ah, what a good
feeling.)

Where your health is concerned, today’s
session helps you release tension so that the
life force can get where it needs to go for
you to express great jhe.

Where your relationships are concerned,
today’s session allows you to see people with
new eyes.  I bet you didn’t know they were
so beautiful.

Where your money is concerned, today’s
session brings ideas to your mind that verge
on genius.  They are the answers to the most
intense questions you have been asking.
Follow them.

With love overflowing,
Rebbie
