New Process: Abraham Follower Gets Amazing Results Manifesting Goals in 30 Days

Abraham of Abraham-Hicks promotes setting goals by not being specific, because being specific often causes resistance to rise in the form of doubts, fears, feeling that you might not deserve the goal.  He also advises us to set a general goal, and then spend the rest of our time letting the goal go and simply relishing positive thinking, having a positive outlook, and engaging in activities that are soothing thereby increasing our vibration and naturally allowing the higher vibrational reality to feed itself to us.  This is one man’s amazing story about using Abe 30 process to a better life: He did all of the following: 1.     Wrote out a calendar and looked at it every day writing down all the things that he did to stay happy and positive that day. 2.     Wrote Abe a thank you letter in advance of his success thanking him for each and every thing he wanted manifesting.  The letter included thanks for the perfect job and relationship manifesting. 3.     Every day 2x a day he pictured himself sitting in The Hot Seat (the seat that visitors to Abe’s workshops get selected to go  to ask Abe a question - only a few people get selected out of a 200 person workshop) reading the letter to Abe. 4.     He was not specific – in the past he use to force fill his own grid – forced a job or a girl and was always miserable 5.     He gave all the attributes or qualities that his partner would have without naming or referring to anyone specific 6.     In reading the letter to himself he was in love with the woman that he wrote about without her even being there 7.     When he did things throughout the day that made him happy and kept him in a happy state, he didn’t do it thinking: “I am doing this because it will manifest something I want”  - he did it purely for the happiness of it.  He also wrote each actifity down on the calendar. At the end of 30 days, he had manifested everything he wanted, including being invited to The Hot Seat by Abe at the workshop he attended. Abe said lets go over the vibrationally accurate components of your successful strategy: ·      By writing a letter about something that hadn’t happened yet you blurred the lines between present and future ·      This allowed you to focus upon the vibration that allowed you to offer a vibration that wasn’t split, i.e. focusing on what we want, while also focusing on what we don’t want or are trying to heal or get rid of. ·      When you take an easy approach to goals, you are more likely to be inspired, and the inspiration to act is where the importance lies. ·      By practicing the thoughts that felt good about the things that you really care about, you practiced the vibration until you were chronically in the vibration of what you wanted.   Therefore, anything that is a vibrational match to that momentum had to join you there.      We want to point out the difference between being there and attracting a higher vibration manifestations towards you, as opposed to trying to push things along  - its like pushing a noodle.  Pushing doesn’t work.

Three Top Reasons We Don't Achieve Our Goals and Three Workable Solutions.

In today's world just about everyone is schooled in some form of goal setting, combined with visualization.  Certainly, after the movie "The Secret" many people have a Vision Board - visual pictures representing our personal and business goals.  Virtually all Olympiads receive training in visualizing their  successes and accelerating progress in their physical trainings, even athletes who come from conservative backgrounds.  Now days, visualization and using the power of the mind to achieve goals is now just about as common place as apple pie.  So if we know about all these tools and we are using them, why are we sometimes not achieving what we set out to do?


The reasons are threefold:

1. Resistance:  Any mental process that is something less than a glowing mind vision of our highest success is resistance.  The best way to understand resistance is to set a high, unrealistic goal like:   I am going to have $1 million dollars in my bank account by tomorrow.  Go ahead and close your eyes right now, and silently say this goal to yourself.  Let what you have said sink in, and then ask yourself how you feel.  Most people will say something like:  "I don't feel like it will come true",  "I feel undeserving of this amount of money", "This is too short of a time span to expect results".  All of these thoughts are resistance, and they can come up frequently with many of the goals we set.  The solution is to release the resistance.  Solution:  Several good ways to do this are Hypnotherapy, The Sedona Method, EFT, and many forms of breath work. You can search around on Youtube and find demonstrations of these techniques, or look in the next section below for one good example.

2. My Mind Is A Powerful Creation Tool:  In between our Vision Board sessions and visualizations, the mind rolls on, rambling,  and picking up burrs along the way.  If left to its own devices, the mind will default to negative thinking 80% of the time, picking up so many burrs that it turns into a ball of tumbleweed, running rampantly and erratically across our life goals, scratching them, and erasing them.
Solution:  Here are some tips for harnessing this wild beast in between your visualizations:

a.  Prepaving: Set your day when you wake up. Get out of bed 15 minutes earlier and think of something positive when you wake up. Look at your day and form  exciting and productive outcomes for each meeting and project throughout the day.  If you have a meeting that day, you might say something like:  "I will feel light and happy throughout the whole meeting.  I will sit next to all the right people, making just the right connections to forward my financial and business goals".
 b.  Short circuit negative thoughts:   When the mind wants to chomp down on some criticism of someone else, or replay a past unpleasant experience, simply say to yourself over and over again:  "My mind is a powerful creation tool".   Say it slowly, distinctly and focus on every word.  When you say this in the face of the unpleasantness you are salivating to rehash, logic will tell you that rehashing it will then created more of the unpleasantness.  This is usually enough to stop the spin.
c. Appreciation:  Once you experience relief, then immediately find something to appreciate.  The key to appreciation is to find something that you REALLY appreciate.  For example, it is much better to appreciate the fact that you are a good car mechanic and can take care of most of your own car needs, then it is to try to stretch the appreciation to something you think you SHOULD  be able to appreciate like your business  flourishing, when in reality you had a few good months, but more bad months.

3. Lack of Positive Emotion When Visualizing On Goals:   If you can figure out how to imbue each one of your goals with emotions, do so.  Love is the most powerful emotion.  If your goal is to make more money, imbue it with love like this:  "My partner and I can use this money to take nicer more intimate vacations together", or "I have more time to spend with kids or grand kids", or "I can now give money to help build schools in under served areas".

Many blessings to you in the New Year

The Pledge

This blog will discuss:

1) How using the Sedona Method can provide immediate relief for long held problems. The Sedona Method is a simple, yet profound, technique for removing resistance. Instead of pushing against emotions such as doubt, frustration, failure, The Method coaches participants to welcome, accept, let go of the emotion. 

2) Taking The Pledge:   A process which fully enacts the law of attraction based on the teachings of Abraham.
3)  These processes can be applied to any long held problem in the areas of career, health, money, and relationship.

Yesterday, I decided to apply the Law of Attraction in a conscious minute-by-minute experiment, so I created The Pledge, which established a new life priority.  Some of the results were quite magical and will hopefully be useful to others. 

The Pledge:  Instead of promoting my business, lining up clients, figuring out new health strategies, going to social functions, making new business and social contacts, or racing around town “getting things accomplished”, I now have new life priorities that look like this: 

1) Sorting All Mental and Physical Activities:  Every movement, action and thought will be observed consciously, evaluated and selectively sifted, letting those that  might result in an unpleasant emotion fall through the sieve and be washed away, leaving only the golden nuggets in the sieve, which will create good feelings.
2) Segment Intending, Prepaving and Milking:  I will segment intend and prepave to get into states of appreciation, or I will simply observe what currently is pleasing  in my life, the fall trees, the ability to work from home.  Once I start to lock into appreciation, I will embellish and relish this harvest.

3) Stray Thoughts and Emotions: Any stray, unpleasant emotions, which infiltrate this process, will be immediately released.  I will stop whatever I am doing and thank the problem for showing me where I am stuck vibrationally and then begin releasing.

4) Rationale:  The Law of attraction states that when we have good feeling thoughts we go into a high vibrational state, which allows our natural abundance to manifest. Stated more practically and bluntly,  it cuts the to do list down to one…..our priority is to have good feeling thoughts whatever it takes.  Success is always evaluated by the condition of our lives. Our lives are the perfect reflection of everything that we been vibrating up until this point. 

My hypothyroidism has been crushing me for the past three days.  This problem has arisen, my mind is telling me, as a result of staying in a vacation cabin.    I found out they sprayed insecticides about two weeks ago and I am obsessing on the estrogen mimickers found in all insecticides.  “Here we go again, when will the world realize the dangers in these substances that have led to the current epidemic of hypothyroidism.” I feel myself sliding into anger.   “I need to fix this by moving, by opening windows, by washing all the floors and cabinets.  I am getting the effects of estrogen dominance.”

Ignoring my discomfort, which has been a life long challenge, and focusing on my Pledge instead…”Remember the Pledge, remember nothing else matters, but The Pledge”.  Although the anger has already risen into my head, reflecting the over emotionality associated with this disease. I grasp to refocus, but am unable to do so.  A sumo wrestler is now pressing with all his might down on my shoulders making my fit, trim body feel like the body of a patient in an obesity clinic.   The local pool cleaning company seems to have used their super vacuum to suck  all loving and happy emotion from my heart, leaving only the standard crabby shell of a human now sitting here in this kitchen chair.

With great effort, I force myself to begin the process of releasing resistance. I try the Sedona Method holistic technique, which alternates between welcoming the problem and welcoming the opposite of the problem, or the healed version.  “Can you welcome your incessantly sick body”.  That I can do.  Now for the healed version: “Can you welcome the vibrantly healthy body that you deserve.”  I feel a door slam in my face meaning a big “No”, which is okay because now, in accordance with the Sedona Method, I can push it away as much as I want to, rebel against this image as much as I want to, or welcome how stuck I am with this side of the holistic – all wonderful techniques, none of which are resulting in any movement for me at the moment.

I know that the word “deserve” is my challenge in the way I worded this release.  Anyone who exercises rigorously and regularly, participates in verified methods of cleansing, eats raw foods and vegetarian foods, participates in mental fortification regularly DESERVES to be healthy- whether it is me or anyone else.  

I keep fishing and land on: “Can you welcome the impossibility of having the healthy body that you deserve?” Goodness knows, after everything I have done to get well, it must be impossible.  I can feel in my gut that I have hit the core of the issue. I begin to feel movement, however at the same time, I feel overwhelming discomfort,  I want to stop releasing and go get something to eat.  I have come to understand this feeling of needing to shift, as a sign that I am releasing well.  Also, I remember my Pledge to release and completely release.  This sense of completeness is a distinct feeling like a wave washing over me, which then sends me into oneness.  Therefore, I continue with my odd version of the holistic, going back and forth between the healed me and the impossibility of being healthy.   Finally to my amazement, the right before my eyes the hypothyroidism begins to lift.  The sumo wrestler stops pushing as hard on my shoulders; I have graduated from the obesity clinic, having lost a few hundred pounds; my mind is optimistic, and there is now an almost human form sitting on the kitchen chair. Welcoming the impossibility of a healthy body was key for me in this release.

“I feel the urge to run”. I am dismayed that I can think of running one hour after the onset of my discomfort.   Although running has a strange way of turning on the hypothyroidism, especially in the afternoon, but I decide to do it anyway.  My run turns out to be exhilarating and I soak up the colorful fall scenery.

As I begin my standard yoga exercises that follow my run, I become aware of some chronic thoughts that have infiltrated my Pledge screening process. I am vaguely aware that under several layers of consciousness, I am complaining:  “I exercise so much and my body is still so feeble.  I can’t believe I have exercised my whole life and I still feel diminished much of the time. Often my exercises exacerbate the hypothyroidism in the short term, so I exercise diligently and get kicked in the pants afterwards with super fatigue – some times as long as the rest of the day.”  I am acutely aware that some version of this tape plays every time I exercise – yikes!

I welcome the chronic thought patterns of illness, and then begin doing a focus wheel on my physicality:  “I have had the fortitude and intelligence to exercise my whole life. No matter what, I keep going.  I have exercised every two to three days without fail for years.  I am so lucky to have the mental strength to engage in this healthy activity.  I know my diet has increased my vibration”.  Then I branch off from the official focus wheel process and start appreciating all the fall leaves around me and the amazing fresh air that I live in now.  My yoga is easier today and I feel especially revitalized.

After freshening up, I look in the mirror and I can’t believe who I see looking back.  A radiant, energy filled woman, who looks years younger than this morning.  I am racing with energy and good cheer. By applying The Sedona Method and the law of attraction, I have turned around three days of serious and medium serious hypothyroidism. By no means do I think that this episode represents the end of this health issue, nor do I wish for that.  Having improved my material life significantly and shed many nagging and recurring stresses, I embrace my hypothyroidism for what it brings me.  It is Source Energy knocking on my door saying:  “Hey Deborah, you’ve done a great job of increasing your vibration through all your practices, and we are doing a good job of calling you to the new and improved you, but the old thought patterns and ways of being are creating a big gap between the new you and the old you.  For now we are going to really get your attention and label the gap ‘hypothyroidism’, but you know its just our way of telling you that you have got to get up to speed with the new, higher vibration you.”   In bliss, I now begin to happily milk these good feeling states and surprising sucesses by writing about them, thinking about them, re-living them, and embellishing them.

Long Term Problems and How To Make Progress Anyway

This blog will describe:
Feeling stuck and how to get results with releasing anyway.

I expressed a frustration regarding slow progress on an issue to our coaches in a recent support group. “Don’t forget to acknowledge all the successes that you are having. It’s very common to forget to look at the improved mental clarity, the renewed physical vitality, the increased money flow and just grip onto what isn’t working”, they advised. Definitely good advice, but I am acknowledging my gains, which as evidenced in the two previous blogs and my daily activities.

They try again: “What about releasing on wanting to work on this goal?” This advice hits me in the pit of my stomach, right on target. My gut has announced its potency; my emotions verify by flying into irritability and anger. “That’s it, you got it”, I tell them. They are both good at providing the missing nuggets in releasing efforts.

The next morning, I begin releasing on wanting to work on the goal - the goal of getting rid of my father, the incessant hijacker of my abundance by his unappreciated visits to my visualizations. I can feel my frustration over this issue fade. I continue and the process expands into releasing on wanting in general, and again further into releasing on wanting results on my releasing. My stomach opens, my mind opens and the frustration disappears. As I do this, I feel larger and more connected to the world. I have a new found sense of freedom and begin a day full of connections with friends and meeting new friends.

Disease Is A Springboard To Abundance

This is a story about:
1) Experiencing all the specific, documentable symptoms of a recurring disease.
2) Explaining these symptoms within the context of the Law of Attraction.
3) Using the information gained to springboard into a highly energized state.

I choose to listen to a Sedona Method seminar this morning as my morning program. While listening to the recording I begin to experience the symptoms of hypothyroidism and the more I listen the worse it gets. Hypothyroidism is one of the more difficult diseases to deal with because it sends an army of men to your mind that search out every possible memory and piece of data in your present experience and interpret it in the most negative light possible. It also causes extreme lethargy and fatigue, making doing anything about it difficult. It also removes will, making wanting to do anything about it difficult.

My immediate reaction is to go to bed and sleep for a couple of hours. At this point in life, I have been tested for hypothyroidism so many times that I now can very accurately guess what the levels will be based on how I feel. In short, if you know any doctors, tell them you know someone who has a TSH level of 20, at which point they will look at you quizzically and say: “Has this person had a heart attack yet?” or “Is this person still living?”.

Today my TSH level is 20 and sliding. Since releasing (see blog entry May 2, 2010: Putting Our Processor To Work) took a long time to take effect the last time this condition surfaced, I decided to apply the Law of Attraction instead. I have to be direct, blunt and factual as the meltdown is spiraling:

1) Step One: Quickly do something that feels good and pleasurable to divert my mind. I opt for taking a shower and then going to a nice outdoor coffee shop and sitting in the sun.
2) Step Two: Be honest about what is, don’t try to cut it off, which in my case looked something like this: “Here we go again. I feel horrible. I am so tired of this.”
3) Step Three: Review the fundamentals of The Law of Attraction.
a. This Law states that my emotions are an indicator of whether or not I am allowing myself to go higher expanded states of well being that already exist.
b. Law of Attraction states that the only reason we aren’t automatically living in these states nonstop is due to the resistance that we create with our minds. In this example, resistance will increase if I mind gnash on how sick am.
c. Bad emotions mean I am not going to these higher states, also known as the vortex. All I have to do is to get up to speed with this new higher vibration, I will enter the vortex, and I will feel okay. I have serious doubts that this is going to work, but I am determined to carry out the steps none-the-less.
4) Step Three: Begin the Focus Wheel: Find one ray of hope to focus on however small or distant and enhance it little bit by little bit: “This illness is good, because –if I believe the Law of Attraction, and I do - it means I have just increased my vibration, probably by listening to the Sedona Method recording. All I have to do now is to find some ever increasingly pleasant topics to focus on. The weather in Sedona is picture perfect now. Its bright, sunny, with a nice spring breeze. The coffee shop has outdoor seating and I have enough space to work. I am so glad I have a laptop. My technical skills are really picking up. I am getting really good at doing blogs and web pages. I am learning so much about how to heal physically, emotionally and financially. I have so much to share with others. I have already experienced a significant increase in my financial situation. I can feel the increased abundance continuing on all levels.”
5) Step Five: Get in the vortex and milk it. I am now in the vortex, the higher state of well being that naturally exists for me and for everyone. Milking it consists of celebrating the goal or accomplishment, however big or small. In my case it goes like this: “Wow, I did it. I feel better. I can feel my energy increasing. This process is miraculous. I am so lucky to know about this information and to focused enough to apply it in such effective ways.”

During the process of the focus wheel, I am vaguely aware of the conversations going on around me at the café. One table inhabited by a bicycle club just finishing a morning ride. A key figure at the table adamantly states his position on networking and derides his co-rider for not having read a certain book. He moves on to tell a story about an immigration snafu that some of his German family members experienced, degrading every person and law they encountered. At a second table, a man fiercely degrades people for thinking that prejudice still exists in America. My knee jerk reaction is to judge their negative speak. But, since I believe in the Law of Attraction, I must confess to myself that I attracted them into my sphere. I breath into the need to judge and know that I must gently float with their conversation, not becoming entangled.

As the afternoon goes on, my energy levels soar. I am completely focused with my work, which today is technically oriented –not my strong suit. But please look in the upper right hand corner of my blog and you will see that I have added a Buy Now Button to my blog, which allows coaching customers to pay online for my services.

Putting Our Processor To Work

This is a story about the following:
• How our ordinary mental processing of day to day events creates our suffering.
• Specific examples about how to rework our processor to harvest bounty.
• How I did it the exact wrong way and turned it around to the right way.

While I am grateful that I live in an area that abounds in mystical and natural beauty, I have regretted the lack of social activities available on the weekends. A discouraging weekend last weekend, inspired a pledge that I was not going to let that happen again. I signed up for a kayaking group that was going to meet at a gorgeous lake some distance away. I didn’t care how far I had to drive. The kayaking trip was going to fill up the hole in my life, known as lack of community.

The drive did not go well as my exit off the interstate was blocked and without a map, it took and extra hour to get to the campground. I looked for the group for an hour and a half when I got to the lake, getting more and more disoriented when I couldn’t find them. Their instructions were specific and I was exactly where they said they would be. The hole got bigger.

The fact that two neighbors in my campground invited me to sit by the fire did not help. I couldn’t wait to sleep so I could get up for the early dawn kayak outing. My sleep was uncomfortable, after waking a trip into the bushes to relieve myself resulted in me being covered with desert stickers, the break-of-dawn kayak group was no where to be found, and 8 am turned out to be the real start time. The hole got bigger.

Frazzled and frustrated, I decided to apply some of the wisdom that I am constantly spouting. “Here I am at this stunning lake in perfect weather and I am miserable. I see once again I am learning that controlling and manipulating the material world is not the path to happiness (i.e. trying to fill the hole with a kayak trip).

We let the mind run wild like a balloon expelling air that slips from our fingertips. The balloon does uncontrollable figure eights in the air, exhausted and flaccid at the end of it. Like the balloon whirling wildly in the air, we religiously gnash our thoughts to figure out how to repair the holes in our lives. This whirlwind builds resistance within us.

Resistance causes our lives to malfunction in all the numerous ways that they are prone to. Releasing resistance shoots us into a state of grace and allows all our best dreams to unfold at our feet.

I begin the set of mental and breathing exercises. I have revised the Buddhist Tonglen practice, added in some Sedona Method and topped it off with the Law of Attraction. I start by breathing in the issue, which in this case is lack of community. I breathe this into me three times. I allow it to fill up the oxygen in my body to invade my blood, to become my heart and my soul. Then three times, I breathe out satisfying, enriching community, giving it away to people who already have it.

I continue with this process, and within fifteen minutes I feel the divinity of this majestic natural setting infiltrate my being. In another, fifteen minutes, I am filled with ecstasy. I then visualize a lovely, fun filled, community filled day.

Then the pieces of my day begin to come together in ways that don't make sense in the logical world. I walk to my car to get something and the kayak instructor calls out to me. He is parked at least two hundred feet from where the from the official gathering place for the kayaking event. There is no visible way to tell that I am interested in the kayak trip and he has never met me. This is technically a scuba event with hundreds of people wandering around and the kayak event is just a sideline.

Then the original organizer of the trip, who I looked for for so long the night before, shows up all of a sudden and introduces herself. Another woman wanders up several minutes later who was waiting for us at the official site for the kayak instruction. She is visibly upset that she missed so much of the gathering. I feel for her that she doesn’t know the art of releasing.

I could have gone to the official site for the kayak event and never found them, because the group never went to the official gathering place. I could have stood down there and gotten madder and madder, as that was clearly the direction in which I was pointed before applying the Law of Attraction..

We collect ourselves, have a delightful paddle, followed by a community filled lunch and a nap. I depart the event happy and fulfilled.

I am seeing that unwinding and turning around these everyday examples of the mind gone wrong is the true fertilizer for abundance. Our emotions give us the signal that we need to check in with our gnashing mind and pay attention to what it is saying. Our knee jerk faulty reaction when we have an unpleasant emotion arise is to look at the circumstances and try to change it. By acknowledging our emotional indicators of vibrational misalignment and redirecting the mind in the right direction, we harvest the natural abundance that the universe has arranged for us.
