In
this journey we call life, awareness of our vibration and Thought is vital. And more often than not, we
have created a habit of moving through our days too quickly, too busy,
too distracted.
We can become obsessed with taking action. With a hyper
focus on the "doing" part of designing our dream lives, we can
overlook the "being." To make it even more intense, most of us
have had plenty of conditioning to reinforce this way of operating.
As a
result, we can end up being outrageously unaware of the energy we are
radiating. And this phenomenon deserves our undivided attention.
Not
only does this form of "sleepwalking" squelch our sense of joy
and aliveness, but it seriously interferes with our natural capacity to
manifest the life of our dreams.
Why? I believe the following passage
from the book Ask and It Is Given, by Esther and Jerry Hicks, goes right
to the heart of the matter.
"The reason you have not already gotten
what you desire is because you are holding yourself in a vibrational
holding pattern that does not match the vibration of your desire.
That is the only reason...ever!"
I
don't know about you, but the degree of certainty conveyed in this
message certainly gets my attention! Now, shall we look at an
example?
Let's
say that you are taking consistent, focused action steps to grow your
dream business, or to do what you love
doing. You
have a clear plan and set bold intentions. But at the same time, you
don't really believe it is possible for you to create a thriving business or to make impact in your chosen field. You can't imagine being paid
well for honoring your passions, and you are continually talking about
what has not yet materialized in your vision, you
are caged with the fear of becoming something else if you join the group.
Furthermore, you are plagued
with fear and worries and have a tendency to ponder the worst of the
what-if scenarios.
Do you
see the disconnect? I can't say it enough. Your energy matters and your thought.
So, if
you are feeling less than clear about your energy and the factors that
contribute to your vibration, I encourage you to sit with the following
questions to support a deepening of your clarity. And I mean truly sit
with them. Take your time. And relish the awareness that is revealed.
1. How
do you FEEL? Where are you spending the majority of your time,
emotionally speaking? Are you living in the lands of joy, freedom, love,
appreciation, passion and trust? Or do you only experience brief visits
there?
How about the lands of frustration, disappointment, blame, anger, fear, distrust or guilt? As you explore this
arena, the important piece to understand is that your feelings serve as
an indicator of how much you are allowing your connection to Source, or
not. By paying close attention to your feelings, you can quickly see if
you are in alignment and enjoying a high vibration or if you are in
resistance and embodying a lower vibration.
2.
What STORIES are you telling? What
is your testimonies? Are they expansive or limiting? Rooted in fear
or truth? What is the picture you are painting with your words? If you
are not yet convinced that your story makes such a difference, please be
willing to experiment. Try on different ones and see how the telling
affects your energy, especially when you get into the retelling that most
of us are famous for doing.
3. How
would you describe your DOMINANT PERSPECTIVE? As you travel through your
days, you get to decide how you will respond to the circumstances and
events of your life.
This marvelous freedom and power is always available
to you, even when at first glance it feels impossible to find a new
perspective. So, when you evaluate the essence of your dominant
perspective, what do you see? For example, do you see opportunities or
disasters? Are you optimistic or skeptical? This is the time to fully
recognize that the choices you make have an immeasurable impact on your thought.
4.
What is your experience of EASE and FLOW? I want to keep this one
extremely simple and straightforward. How relaxed and trusting are you? It does happen to me too, am, at times
restless-when I tried something for the first, second, and third time and
there is no result yet, I give up but I’ve learned big lesson from that.
5. What
EXPECTATIONS and BELIEFS are you holding? Are they big or small?
Indicating doubt or faith? This is about truly being a vibrational match
with your desire. I am asking you to take a fiercely honest assessment of
where you are with stepping into your vision as if it is already here.
As
Bob Proctor shared in You Were Born
Rich, “Desire without expectation is nothing more than
wishful thinking’’.
After
spending some time with the above, what if you find that your thinking could use some Practice? No worries. Welcome to the
club! Tending to our thought is absolutely a daily
practice.
In
service of helping you enjoy a higher vibration with even more ease and
consistency, I encourage you to do whatever it takes to stay intimately
connected to the following TRUTHS.
~
External circumstances do not determine your emotional state and energy,
you do. In each and every moment, it is a choice. We like to convince
ourselves that it must be way more convoluted than that. We can fall into
the dis-empowering practice of saying things like "When ____happens,
I will be happy." Or "If ____would ____, I could relax." I
lovingly challenge you to give this up, now and forever. Let it be
simple. As Greg Anderson said, "Only
one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: Where we
focus our attention."
Where
do you focus your attention?. Answer that to yourself.
~
Everything you want is already here energetically. And in addition to
this exhilarating news, your life is also meant to be filled with joy,
light, ease and flow. Not struggle. Not hardship. Not heaviness. Do you
really get how thrilling this is?
Personally, I love to be reminded that
our primary job is to allow and receive. I
want to see the hearth that I bleed for bleed for me.
~ The
present moment is divinely perfect. Being eager and excited to stretch
into your vision "over there" does not mean that you are meant
to miss the NOW. You are right where you need to be, always. As you
joyfully anticipate what is coming, appreciate your unfolding as the
masterpiece that it is, knowing that each part plays a magical role in
your process.
From this place, you can genuinely experience the joy of
the journey. And guess what? There is a sweet bonus. Once you are
grounded in the joy and gratitude of where you are right now, you are
then open energetically to receive the bigger vision too. Before you can receive the bigger vision, you
need to start putting your talent, aspiration and hobby into practice by
rendering service-a free service to Church. In doing this, you are
building yourself up to receive the bigger vision that will take you to
where you dream to be. No one can influence you to do or follow multitude
to compromise and do evil, it is only you that can choose to do
otherwise.
Am challenging you to stop hidden and come out into limelight
where your skill is needed most.
As a
final thought, I would like to share the following powerful excerpt from
an Abraham-Hicks workshop.
"Your action has nothing
to do with your abundance. Your abundance is a response to your thought. Of course, your belief is part of your thought. So if you believe that action is part of what
brings your abundance, then you've got to unravel that." - Abraham
Care to join me in some
delightful unraveling? We are for each other, lets
be our brothers keeper. Lets be a source of encouragement, correct with
love when we are wrong and always exhort each one with word of God.
Your story and encouragement is welcome to
uplift others. Send me your stories and suggestions in other to encourage
ourselves.
Take action now.
