Within last two years I made a number of very interesting observations related to direct connection between emotional state and money.

I found that if I conjure and maintain highly positive emotional state even if for a few minutes – this inevitably and mysteriously translates into spike of positive developments, such as effortless new sales, inflow of business propositions, business requests with high success rate and unexpected income from multiple directions.
The point to note here is that the emotion needs to be real, positive with intense sense of aliveness, sort of like when you really feel like giving a hug to everyone including trees and parking ticket officer.

I have a few small online businesses selling digital products and related consulting services. Whenever I see a sales spike – I try to correlate this with any previous event or activity so that later on I could replicate that!

The most amazing discovery was that no advertising or business “pushing” affected sales as much as my own inner emotional state. This works amazingly predictable in both directions – if you find yourself in emotionally low (negative) level – no business or life improvement effort will amount to much benefits. And the opposite is true as well – if you maintain highly positive emotional state – all the good things including money just start flowing with no much effort from your side.
I found that the real work is not to meditate on money, but to achieve a positive emotional state.

Interested in the subject of emotions I derived Emotional Energy Shift (EES) technique – the quickest way to shift emotions from negative to high vibration positive territory. Emotional Energy Shift Technique allows any person to take control over inner emotional energy level without need to change or improve any “external” circumstances. I discovered that EES is the absolute quickest way to get into the state of Vortex, so well described in the teachings of Abraham.

Before getting into details of how to practice EES, here are a few of my personal recent real life experiences:

1. One dark evening I practiced Emotional Energy Shift technique with strong intensity. I shifted my emotions to higher, positive vibrations and then build it all the way up to the feelings of inner happiness.
   The evening was very dark, starry and suddenly I felt a certain ease in my ability to shift emotions higher than normal.
   I rode this wave and maintained my strong, positive, happy feelings for about 5 minutes.
   - The very next morning I checked my email and noticed that I made a few sales of one of my higher priced digital products from 3 countries.
   - During the day I got few more sales.
   That daily total exceeded $1,000 in sales and made one of my best days in selling that specific product.
2. I practiced Emotional Energy Shift technique while driving. In that particular occasion my target was rather obnoxious person and his business environment with which I had to deal with on a daily basis. Whenever you find yourself irritated on a regular basis by someone or something – it’s a warning sign calling for immediate shift in your inner emotions before things start getting worse. So after initial emotional shift I made him my “target” of EES practice. Within about 10-15 minutes of driving I was able to achieve complete inner peaceful feeling regarding that person and his environment.
   Few hours after that things started flowing!- I found a request in my mailbox to sell on of my dormant domain names for $1000
   - I got reply on my few weeks old business proposition and client was willing to pay 100% of my multi-thousand fee upfront for rather complicated project, instead of usual 50/50 arrangement.
   - I got reply from another client who happily accepted by consulting estimate and was ready to deliver a deposit.
   - Within few days I got offer from another company to pay me close to $3,000 for the same above domain, and they sent me 90% of cash upfront! We never saw each other, never spoken (besides emails) – and yet he felt so much trust that he transferred most of negotiated funds upfront without any escrow services or such. Domain names trade is a business where things like that happens very rare!
   - Within few more days two clients requested minor enhancements to their projects and each agreed to pay few hundred dollars extra for easy fixes.
3. I dedicated about 5 minutes of one of my afternoon time (few days ago) to conscious Emotional Energy Shift practice to help me transcend some trailing negativity I felt at the moment.
   I noticed how quickly (although with focused inner energy effort) I was able to transcend negativity leftovers and shift my state into positive solid energy.
   - Upon arriving to my desk I found $200 deposit made to my Paypal account for digital product purchase.
   - Within few hours – another $400 effortless sale was made. And at the evening of the same day another client offered me another $200 to make an easy fix for his code.

So what Emotional Energy Shift (EES) technique is and how to practice it? Imagine you need to lit wet log on fire.
First you’d need to generate a spark or turn on the lighter.
Second you need to find something dry to support this fire.
Third you’ll work to keep adding dry well-burning pieces and maintain small fire long enough for it to dry wet areas and keep getting bigger and stronger.
And finally you’ll find that your effort paid off and you no longer need to keep lighter on or to keep adding pieces – the big fire keep going on on it’s own.
At this point even if you’d throw into the fire another wet log – it will get dry by itself, catch a fire and will add warmth and light to your fireplace.

The same way EES works: you ignite initial spark of emotions, keep it going with the focused effort, grow it bigger with positive subjects or imagery and then apply it to everything i sight (transcend limited beliefs, inner blocks and negativity).
In this article I will cover the initial (spark) side of EES. More details of practice will be covered in further articles and in upcoming Law of Attraction Bootcamp course.

Step 1 (decision thought -> feeling).
Do this simple exercise – recall something pleasant and notice how you feel inside. This could be your loved one, child, your pet, something cuddly, your favorite place, your favorite activity – anything that you know is joyful and fun.
…do it …
Can you notice the difference in your feelings?
Can you re-ignite the memory and re-feel the joyful feelings inside again a bit stronger?
…do it …with a little bit more intensity…

Step 2 (directly into feeling).
Now that you *know* how it feels, re-ignite the joyful inner feeling directly, without the help of thoughts or memories.
…do it… ignite the feelings directly just by your decision to feel the feelings …
…do it more… ignite the feelings directly just by your decision …

Step 3 (distract yourself and then reignite feeling).
Think or do something neutral, and different, like looking in the window, checking whats around you or move a few objects around your desk.
Now back from distraction – re-ignite the joyful feeling again. Just with the power of your will-decision.
…do it… ignite the feelings directly …just by deciding to do so….

Step 4 (boosting the energy).
Once you ignited positive emotion at will – try to strengthen it, make it more intense in it’s joyful expression.
Keep it present within you.
…do it… make your joyful emotion stronger, more intense…
…do it… build the intensity and strength in your positive feelings..

If you succeeded in shifting your inner emotional feelings to more positive direction even if for a little bit – CONGRATULATIONS!

If you think you had a challenge to do that – repeat the cycle of Steps again until you’ll get a few “grips” on your feelings directly.
To assist yourself in doing that – invite a brief “sparks” of positive imagery and then let it go while keeping inner emotion present.
Intensity of feelings does not matter – what’s important is that you started to reawaken your inner ability to control your emotions directly, without any stimulus, with the sheer power of your decision to do that.
And you can do it at any time.

That is the essence of initial Emotional Energy Shift.

With regular practice you will be able to shift your inner emotional state to positive very quickly regardless of what surrounds you.
The continuation of this practice involves focus on subject, situation and person. The inevitable result of that focus will be the improved energy flow (relationship, connections) with that subject, situation or person.

There is more to EES practice that I will describe in all details in upcoming Law of Attraction Bootcamp online course.
For example to support your newly found positive emotional level you need to engage your body physique as well. As soon as you noticed positive inner shift – straighten your posture, gently flex your muscles and make a conscious cycle of breathing. This will send a strong confirmation signal to your nervous system supporting your new, higher emotional vibration. And you keep focused and build it up from there.

Once you’ve achieved inner emotional liftoff – keep strengthening the positive feelings.
Do it on a regular basis – it if fun and extremely beneficial practice that will noticeably improve your wellbeing within short period of time.
EES can quickly energize your law of attraction manifestation powers.

Emotional Energy Shift practice is a great way to transcend your negative emotions on the spot, as they arise. Paired with Transcending Beliefs practice it can dissolve resistance for good and propel you toward the life of your dreams in the shortest time possible!

Keep an eye on my upcoming Law of Attraction Bootcamp course for more details about these techniques!

You are attracting and manifesting physical reality all the time but presence of negative emotions means you are manifesting things you do not want, while presence of positive emotions means you are manifesting things you do want.

In manifesting intentions the type of work you do is very different depending on your current emotional state.

Many people do not understand that and fall for the most popular and totally fruitless law of attraction practice such as visualizing money in the middle of financially desperate and depressive situation or visualizing health in the middle of fearful health condition.
You absolutely need to resolve your background negativity first or your wonderful attractive powers will be directed to attract more of what you do not want.

The general approach to correct manifestation work is this:

1. Extinguish emotional fire (in case you’re in the middle of emotional turmoil).
2. Transcend negativity (dismantle foundation of present negative emotion).
3. Proceed with targeted manifestation practices.

Rushing into visualizations is fruitless until negative emotions (resistance) is taken care of first.

In my law of attraction coaching practice I recommend clients to use simple conscious breathing techniques and Ho’oponopono to find a quick relief when faced with an extreme or sharply negative emotions.

Many people experiencing habitual negative background chatter and negative emotional reactions on a daily or even hourly basis. These reactions are very poisonous in their negative attracting power.

Dismantling the foundation of negative emotion - transcending negativity – is very important step. Done properly it helps to accomplish much more than just bringing emotional relief.
This work will help you quickly and permanently eliminate limiting beliefs that been holding your progress and growth for many years.
Negativity transcending process works quickly, measurably and it will not require you to dig all the way back into your painful childhood memories.

People approach the challenging task of dealing with negative emotions in a few different ways:

• Suppressing/ignoring negative emotions. It just helps negative energy to accumulate, pile up inside the body and results in all kinds of diseases, strokes and ailments, including the deadly ones.
  “Feelings Buried Alive Never Die” – perfectly noted by Karol Truman.
• Expressing negative emotions. This results in outbursts of anger, violence, fights and all sort of disturbances and wars. While giving momentary emotional relief it does nothing to resolve the root cause of negativity and either just make situations worse or cause them to reoccur and often with more problems.
• Escaping/distracting/avoiding negative emotions. This approach involves willful shift of attention to more pleasurable activities to achieve on the spot relief. Addictions to pain killers, drugs, anti-depressants, alcohol, self-cutting, sex, sleep, food and other “quick fixes” are the most common ways to escape painful inner negativity.
  This of course does nothing as well to resolve negative situation and related emotions from frequent reappearing.
• Releasing emotions. “Releasing” emotion may or may not work for you depending on how you approach it. If you transcend emotion (see below) – it goes away for good including the situation and all related associations that caused it.
  But most frequent and often totally fruitless application of “releasing” usually involves focusing on eliminating negative emotional sensation “as is”. Releaser can easily fall back to “suppressing” or “escaping” mode without even realizing it. Another variation of “releasing” according to certain teachings involves “diving deep into the pure feeling itself” and realizing that there is nothing out there. I never heard of many (or in fact any) people having lasting success with this way of dealing with negative emotions.
  There are number of self-improvement modalities dedicated to “releasing” emotions.
  I made a deep analysis of these systems including intense personal practices and personal interviews with their creators. After approximately 5 years of practices and observations I made very interesting discovery.Approximately half of people who reported either little or no lasting benefits from “releasing” are the ones who are falling back to “suppressing” or “escaping” way.
  These are the group of people who are already in habits of suppressing or avoiding emotions for many years.
  The really successful “releasers” are participants who actually managed to transcend their emotions, but often also without realizing it.
• Transcending emotions – the correct way.
  It’s the powerful process that works the best when person understands exact steps that are involved in it.

In order to understand the correct way to transcend negativity it is important to understand the cause of emotion and how it arises.

Here’s what happens within our mind/body/spirit system:

Situation/Event/Condition -> Our Interpretation -> Emotion.

Situation happens and triggers the mind’s “interpretation engine”. Depending on thoughts – our subjective interpretation of situation – we feel either positive or negative emotion.

Transcending emotion means transcending resistance and it involves conscious change of interpretation of situation.

Inherently no situation, event or condition HAS ANY MEANING to it at all.
That is UNTIL we decide to give some meaning to it. Positive or negative.
Meaning is something we give to situation according to our previous conditioning – education, beliefs, past experiences, social and cultural backgrounds.

Snowfall is an irritation to car driver, joy to winter resort owner and non-event to someone enjoying movie at home.
Inherently it’s just a weather condition interpreted differently by different people.

Long line to the checkout cash register can either cause irritation to the ones who are at the end of the line or progressively growing joyful emotional feelings to others who are getting closer to checkout.
Yet the wise one standing at the end of the line could choose to interpret it as a positive opportunity to transcend his negative emotions by practicing change of his attitude toward the situation.

$50 bill on the ground feels like a disaster to one (who lost it), total joy to another (who found it) and non-event to millions who never stumbled upon it. Although it’s just the same piece of paper lying on the same spot.

These are synonyms:

Meaning == Interpretation == Belief == Attitude

Your task and your perfect ability and your perfect opportunity is to change them so that your feelings, your emotions will improve.

We can change our interpretation of ANY situation, no matter what situation is.
If we change the meaning we give to situation to more positive – our emotional feelings will change accordingly and big chunk of resistance will be released. Permanently.

Welcome to the secret recipe for everlasting happiness, health, prosperity and making your dreams come true!

Assigning different meaning to familiar yet painful past event could transcend many years worth of misery and suffering into positive and permanent life shift. When your attitude toward event or situation changes – you feelings, thoughts and even body chemistry will change too.
The situation suddenly bothers you much less and you find yourself starting to attract very different and much more positive experiences in your life.

This is the method to happiness that is taught by many masters albeit with the use of different words.

For example Abraham names it “going general”. Jesus calls it “Love your Enemy”.
Thousands of wise ones calls it “Forgiveness”.
And that’s exactly how forgiveness works – you decide to give different meaning, change your interpretation, have different attitude toward someone whom you want to forgive.
There are scientifically described cases where the act of forgiving allowed person to heal from deadly cancers.

That is the power of transcending resistance!

Transcending your negative emotions is not just a quick fix of feelings – it’s a bit of a creative intellectual work on finding different meaning to the events or situations.
The key to this practice is reaching for the better feeling thought, for more positive interpretation of situation.

Make your new interpretation to conjure the feelings of emotional relief. This is a sure sign of successful practice and released resistance.

The best way to learn transcending negativity practice is to do it on a regular basis, and in writing.
Once you get the grip on this practice you’ll notice that it is easy for you to do this work when you are walking, driving or even communicating with people.
This is the essence of the method that Lester Levenson used when he “squared everything with love”. Eventually it allowed him to achieve full spiritual self-realization and fully recover from all his diseases including the deadly ones.

Try it, enjoy it, have fun with it and make it a habit.
This method alone has the power to completely transform your life!

Then you usually come to either one of three conclusions:

1. Drastic one: LOA does not exist and does not work and it’s all scam.
   (you move to other modalities to improve your screwy conditions but LOA is now a 4-letter word in your dictionary)
2. That Law of Attraction book you been following is giving totally misleading information.
   (you decide that given author does not have a clue or credentials and search for another author).
3. Most probable case: That Law of Attraction book sounds ok but likely missing some “real secret” key.
   (you find source that includes “the real secret”, “the missing key”, or alike in it’s title, and with the new wave of inspiration start practicing again)

Law of Attraction in it’s nature is so simple that most publications, even the ones including “the missing secret” and “the real key” appear to be regurgitating the same old stuff in a slightly different font and color.

So why is it so hard to attract what we want?

Because we do not attract stuff by our desire to get more stuff and we do not attract stuff by doing some proper law of attraction exercises.

But exercises and structured approach fits western and european school of thinking really well. People like certainty and mechanical predictability of their actions:

I am willing to do dedicated exercises 15 minutes per exercise, 3 times a day and in two weeks I expect to see the tangible results or consider the whole thing a failure!

Western mentality also sprinkles  “working hard” statements to above.

“Working hard” is so ingrained into the hearts and minds of north american people that when “working hard” fails as usual to deliver any results to speak of people conclude that they just need to “work even harder”. “Hard workers” are usually the ones who manifest the most “hardness” but least prosperity.

So, lets get to the root cause of manifestations, any manifestations.

We attract “stuff” by being in “the manifested state”.

Please note that anything above and below this statement is just a commentary – this statement is the only thing you need to know and do about The Law of Attraction to live happily ever after.

Lets repeat it again in a slight variation:

We attract anything we want by being in the desired manifested state.

Manifested state – is an inner emotional state we would experience having our desire already manifested for us.

Welcome to the ultimate catch 22 of the law of attraction:
We want stuff because once we’ll get it – we will feel happy.
But to get stuff that will make us happy we absolutely have to be into the happy emotional state first.

Try to attract more money visualizing cash while feeling miserable and fearful of piled up bills to pay.

So it does not matter if you do or not do any law of attraction or manifestation exercises – as long as you manage to enter and stay in the desired manifested state as much as possible. Exercises are just a little crutches that helps you to enter the state and get the feel of it.

Don’t buy into illusion that doing will get you where you want to be. It’s the Being that will. You have to BE first and then DO what you feel inspired for.
Doing exercises for 1 hour a day is wonderful but spending the other 23 hours being pissed off at the quality of your current life situation will attract you that which matches your dominant vibration – the state you feel most often.

Being in The Manifested State is the secret sauce of manifestation. The practice is to learn to enter and to stay in the manifested state as much as possible. Not just 1 hour a day at predefined times, but as often as possible.
Your imagination and your thoughts are firewood that will keep the manifested state fire burning. This is your work if you want to change your life situation. This needs to become your new thinking and feeling habit to overcome old destructive patterns and make material world to reflect the new reality to you.

My personal preference is to practice the manifested state throughout the day – whenever possible. My clients are guided to do that as often as possible and to discover their own personal ways to achieve desired emotional states.

Here is an example of the process I do to heal myself from temporary undesirable physical states – such as headaches, muscle or joint pains or even teeth pains.

Recently I had an uncomfortable headache from undersleeping and overworking on a computer. Headache disappeared within minutes after the manifested state practice.

Yesterday I felt strong teeth pain after eating some overly sweet food. Disappeared within 1 hour of the manifested state practice.

Today I had a strong elbow joints pain caused by previous arm wrestling with my son, his friend and our house guests. Disappeared 4 hours after beginning of intermittent practice of the manifested state.

Here is the example of The Manifested State practice I use, step by step:

• I observe and acknowledge what is that I don’t like:
  - headache, muscle pain, etc..
• I define what is that I want to get or to achieve:
  - feeling of good energy.
  - feeling rested.
  - feeling positive.
  - feeling happy.
• I set my external physicals to match the desired state:
  - I set myself into straight posture.
  - I made few conscious breathes.
  - I flexed a few muscles to become conscious of my body.
• I work on moving my emotions toward matching the desired state. This is the hardest, yet most important part:
  - I imagined how feeling rested “feels” and reignited that emotional state inside of me to some extent.
  - I imagined how feeling “good energy” feels – easy – energetic – inspired and reignited that inner feeling.
  - I imagined how feeling positive feels – smiley – ready to take off – easy to fix things – and reignited that inner feelings and flexed some muscles to acknowledge my ability to easily move without problem
  - I imagined general happiness – no need to rush anywhere – no obligations to fulfill to anyone – joy – peace – reignited these feelings inside and used imagination to to see me moving, smiling, feeling good.
  - Imagined what i would do in the desired state – have joyful physical exercise, easily take care of some clutter, do some writing on subjects i feel inspired about.

Once I reignited the bouquet of inner feelings matching my desired state – I worked on maintaining it. This is practice of “throwing logs” into the “positive emotional fire” to keep it going. One feeling “log” to remind of “good energy”, another emotional “log” to maintain feelings of inspiration, yet another log to feel lightness, joy and ease. Few more imagery exercises seeing me in desired action, enjoying my new state.
This process requires consistency and focusing. But it can be done at any time, while driving, while talking, while resting.
And the best part of it is rediscovering your inner power – the ability to ignite positive feelings and emotions within yourself at will.

This skill will eventually make you independent of any outer circumstances, will help you to become a free person and manifest anything you want in your life.

When I try to enter the manifested state from initial physical discomfort – this usually requires some sort of inner energy jolt – sort of kicking myself in the butt to shift to the new energy state.
This step requires will power, effort and strong focusing.

You have to be willing to go through initial discomfort of switching your inner energy state.
Such discomfort is sensually similar to overcoming desire to sleep in the morning and deciding to physically move out of warm and cozy bed.

Even though the manifested state work is mostly just inner emotional work – it could be quite challenging at the beginning.
The reward for that is quick and noticeable improvement!
And the best part – it could work for everything.

The process manifesting more money, finding lovemate or achieving more success in your life is very similar to the process of overcoming headache!

To summarize the steps:
Decide what is that you want, describe the matching state – and start working on igniting your inner emotional feelings, powered by matching thoughts. Start easy and slow.

When you notice that your emotions start shifting toward more positive – you will know that your practice is successful. Keep doing it, make it your daily habit moment to moment.

Remember when your emotions match the desired manifested state regardless of your current physical circumstances – IT IS THE PROOF OF YOUR SUCCESSFUL MANIFESTATION WORK.
When you are in The Manifested State – physical “stuff” is on the way – This is The Law.

PS: I had to finish this article by manifesting 2 empty tables for myself in absolutely packed StarBucks coffee place with no places to sit. Invoking The Manifested State does it’s magic every time :)

I personally experienced what others would name “miraculous healings” from the hands of an energy healer after being told by one of the brightest chiropractic authority in California that my case is helpless. Our own babysitter in one free healing session corrected what $5,000 of fees paid to well-recognized medical professional couldn’t.

That experience fascinated me to the extent that i studied and read multiple books that somehow touched the subject of healing. Afterwards, with some practice I was able to heal myself numerous times from smaller scale ailments including the ones that were quite annoying and incurable for 20+ years using all possible conventional means. In a casual manner I helped other people as well.

While studying the subject of healing i began finding a strong correlation between techniques and approaches mentioned in multiple sources. I think The Teachings of Abraham gave the best introduction and specific, practical summaries on this exciting subject.

So lets get to the essence of it all and begin with the definition of an inner emotional state named “The Vortex”.

The Vortex is a key concept in The Teachings of Abraham and it represents an inner emotional state of a person who is connected with universal energy.
Your inner emotional state is your indicator of alignment with who you really are – with the higher energy, the larger non-physical part of you, the God if you will.
Without this alignment the life is a struggle and a reflection of some dis-ease.
With this alignment in place – the energy flows freely and your healing and manifesting abilities are available to you.

As Abraham defined The Vortex:

The Vortex is an emotional state. It is an emotional state of beingness.
– The Teachings of Abraham

Your real life experiences mimics your emotional experiences, your dominant emotional state.

In order to manifest your desires including your ability to heal others you need to get in- and to be in The Vortex state first. Then everything comes to you almost effortlessly and quick.
Being in the vortex means an absence of resistance. As it’s only your own resistance that holds you from achieving your dreams.

How do we know when we are in the Vortex, what kind of feelings are associated with being in the Vortex?
The Vortex is associated with the feelings of Worthiness, Confidence, Completeness, Certainty, Stability, Elation, Passion, Appreciation, Freedom.
Presence of any one or more of these feelings in your current state indicates that your current state is either in or very close to being in the Vortex, and you are connected to Who You Really Are.

How do you get in the Vortex state?
If you are not in the current state of appreciation you will need to make a consistent, focused, dedicated effort to lift your emotions up, toward positive until you reach the state of general appreciation.
There are two ways to go about it, passive: meditation and active: by actually practicing appreciation thoughts.
Meditation is a good tool to quiet the mind and quieting the mind would mean releasing the resistant thoughts. Once resistant thoughts are gone – you automatically move toward the state of appreciation.

Alternatively you may take proactive approach in achieving The Vortex state. It will involve an inner work to change your current non-appreciative attitude toward current events and conditions of your life to more positively felt attitude.
If something causes you to feel irritation – begin with changing your attitude, your thoughts toward it to more general, less specific, less negative thoughts.
From “I hate when he lies to me”, to:
“I think i lied to others myself on a few occasions as well and I can sort of understand a bit more why others do it.”.
Feel the difference?
From “My boss is annoying and my work is crappy” to:
“The boss is doing his best to arrange things so the business will succeed and if I’d be on his place I likely would start look at things very differently. My current job is not my ultimate dream job, but it helps me to take care of things that otherwise would be more challenging. Nothing prevents me from learning to be more and more positive and to be on a lookout for more opportunities.”
Feel the difference?

That is the process of changing attitude toward any subject that just a minute ago felt sharply negative.
That’s a general idea of self-talk you want to use to steer yourself toward in order to release present resistance.
By guiding your thoughts – you soften resistance, and move yourself toward more positive emotional feedback.

You talk yourself into and you feel yourself into more and more positive emotional state. You do it until you can feel growing inner feelings of appreciation toward more and more things and beings that surrounds you.

Ultimately you want to reach the general state of being in appreciation – you want to be in the state of appreciation toward most objects and events that are active in and around your current life.
That is the only, and necessary precondition to be a successful healer.

The feelings of appreciation and the feeling of unconditional love are vibrationally very close to each other.
The more you appreciate the more Jesus-like healing powers are available for you.

From this emotional state of appreciation everything becomes possible for you. And that includes your ability to manifest desires into physical form as well as to heal others – people and even animals, and accomplish all that without others knowing that you are doing that.

Your first and most important task on the journey of being a healer is to achieve an emotional state of bliss – The Vortex, regardless of what is going on around you.
It is from that state you will be able to facilitate the healing process.

Once you’re in the vortex, you hold the person you want to heal as your object of attention and see this person “with the eyes of source”.
In other words – you see them as perfectly healthy, happy, full of inspiration and energy. Specifics does not matter although your vision will be matching the state the person would be in if they’d be completely healthy. This applies in the same way to yourself as well.
Please note that this is not the process where you connect to some sort of wellness “hose” and then shower others with the “wellness stream” from it.

The healing of OTHERS is the process of YOU getting in vibrational sync with the universal energy of well-being FIRST and ONLY THEN, from within this state holding another person as your object of attention.

When you do it – you do not see the illness – you see the wellness. You see this person through the eyes of source – and through the eyes of source you can only see wellness. You see and feel how you and another person would be in the perfectly healthy way.
You don’t push, you do not enforce or try to “inflict” wellness to other. You align yourself with universal energy first and only than, from that state, your power to heal will be available to anyone who becomes your object of attention in a loving way.
If you need to communicate with ill person, don’t speak to them as if they are not well. Maintain your vision of well-being for them. This vision is “in the vortex” version of them.
When you keep the person as your object of attention while you are staying in the vortex – the resistance dissolves and well-being flows continuously.

The healing process is aligning with the energy of well-being, and that alignment we may call love, this is an alignment with the pure non resistance energy. And from that state when you hold someone as your object of attention you make it easier for them to tap into that energy, just because you have it, that is what healers of all times has discovered.

This process takes practice, focus and discipline. You have to “not see” the illness.
Just like you can easily envision clean hands under the dirt just before you wash them – you see the well-being of the person as you look at the person and hold that person as your object of attention.

I repeat the basic concepts multiple times here and I do it on purpose. That is to deliver the essence of the art of healing to make sure you see how your inner emotional state gets you connected to the universal well-being.

You cannot focus on other’s illness and assist them with wellness. You cant let them to talk you out of the vortex into their concerns. Speak to ill person in more general terms to convey the healing concepts but do not address specifics of how this process works if person is not ready.

At the end it is not what you say – it is how you feel is important.

Sometimes you have to fight for that general feeling inside you as others wants to talk about negative specifics of their state. Be oblivious to their illness, do not make that resistance energy be active in your vibration.

That is how Jesus healed – he did not allow himself to see your illness, instead her only knew your wellness.

For many people these concepts are incomprehensible.
Hence – do not insist it upon others or try to convey understanding of it. Many people believe that only physical intervention will allow them to get better. And it is ok.
In this case it might be helpful to combine gentle, soothing touch in combination with clear focusing on your inner alignment. People will likely expect more results from touching than from the power of your mind. Soothe them and use your mind in the way described.

No matter what the condition, you are going to focus on wellness. And when you hook in to what is in their vortex even if they are not hooked in to it – they can tell that you are. The larger part of them know what you know. And when the larger part of them know what you know – and you expressing that – you got instant trust.
– Abraham, The Words to the Healer

Affirmations are an important tool in any personal development and manifestation work toolbox. There are many wonderful books and teachings where affirmations are used as a main approach to manifest desires, accomplish goals, and achieve more healthier states of the body. Affirmations usually works pretty good to supplement dedicated meditation practices or when used as a regular daily mantra (with some cautions).
I been introduced to my first steps with affirmations via books by Shakti Gawain and Joseph Murphy (“The Power of Your Subconscious Mind”). Books of Joseph Murphy are fun to read as they present many examples of manifested intentions based almost exclusively on affirmations people used.

Yet, in my mastering the law of attraction article – I haven’t describe a single technique that is based on affirmations.

Why is that?
Large part of above article is dedicated to introduction of the concept of “State” or “Desired State”. The work of entering the desired emotional state should be the last step in any successful Law of Attraction work. Once you manage to make progress in shifting your emotions toward desired positive outcome – the task is to maintain this state as consistently as possible.
In the absence of (or at least with reduced) resistance – feeling yourself in the desired state as if your desire already achieved will cause significant progress in material manifestation of desire. Specifics of manifested intention will match closely the inner emotional energy of your most dominant emotional state.

Resistance, or resistant thoughts are the most significant barrier in making your dreams come true! Anything you can do to remove resistance will greatly help you to move toward the life of your dreams and sometimes that’s the only step required!
So where does affirmations comes in play here?
After all there are countless success stories where people used affirmations with amazing results.
The answer is – affirmations are one of the best tools to distract mind from resistant thoughts plus they also help you to steer your inner state toward the desired feeling state.
But very important part to understand here is that words does not work by themselves. It is YOU who has to do inner work.
Let me get a bit controversial here and present a little case against affirmations, but please do not get any sense of negativity, there are none at all. I personally use affirmations daily.
Consider this information as a map that warns your about number of “underwater rocks” that very little number of other sources would tell you about. So after hearing so much about the goodness of affirmations let us have the full picture.

When people do not make any personal progress with their affirmation based work – they attribute it to insufficient frequency, intensity or short duration of their practices.
But for some people affirmations are much less effective than they realize. Under the guidance of a good book – people could craft beautiful “properly constructed” affirmations and then use them with great dedication and passion without paying much attention to their inner emotional state from moment to moment.
The trick here is being played by our own minds. “Noisy” minds are especially vulnerable.
Here’s what happens:
When person start repeating affirmations, the body relaxes and soft shift toward positive emotional state somewhat achieved.
This effect is akin to taking a warm bath. And here’s where the danger lies. In relaxed, relatively positive state – the conscious mind delegates repetition of affirmations to inner “autopilot” and quickly gets back to regular, often negative thinking patterns. It feels like multitasking and it is – you can repeat positive affirmations without mistakes at your chosen pace, yet at the same time think any kind of thoughts, including the ones not compatible with affirmation subject. The benefit from this practice is only as good as from any physical relaxation time, but it has close to zero effect in bringing you closer to manifestation of your desires.
To overcome this requires solid focusing and extra mindfullness. When thought arises – you let it go and focus on inner emotional work empowered by nice affirmations. Yet it is easier say then done.
Monotone affirmations works like a lullaby – bringing you back to that “warm bath” effect where losing your focus gets oh so easy again.
For lazy, noisy minds it is easy to lose focus especially under the cuddly cover of positive affirmations. Hence I do not use affirmations as a primary tool for my clients. All my work is focused toward awakening, strengthening and maintaining the light of inner consciousness, releasing resistance and learning to manage emotions at will regardless of external situations and conditions.
In this aspect the affirmations as a “tool” can be skipped completely and person’s attention is focused directly on source of his or her innermost manifestation power – inner emotional state.

Having said that – affirmations works really well for more quiet, positive and focused minds, but then everything else usually works really well for these people anyways :)

I found perfect and balanced application for affirmations that becomes perfectly suitable for any mind.
I use affirmations as initial spark for emotional work. When desired – I start with affirmations to ignite positive emotions and then continue on working to maintain and strengthen desired emotional energy without any extra mantras or affirmations.

This approach ignites inner energy on a feelings level and then yields to mindful focusing to strengthen and maintain the desired emotional state.

Use affirmations as a spark, not as a crutch.
This way you will have much lesser chance to lose yourself in mindless repetitions and be able to sharpen and strengthen the light of your consciousness, improve focusing and ability to manage and maintain your inner positive emotional state.

Remember – it is not the words, it is your inner emotional state that allows for matching physical manifestations.

The History

William Walker Atkinson

The term Law of Attraction first originated in 1906 when author and publisher William Walker Atkinson released his new thought movement book: “Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World” (Chicago, 1906). He also was brave enough to use the term “vibration” (scary enough word for any other author to use or understand back then). His work introduced the concepts of thought, energy, vibration and manifestation in a very thorough and detailed manner. He also was the first to explain the importance and power of Love to manifest desires (sometimes in rather humorous manner: “…so love but one thing at a time – don’t be a mental Mormon”).

Wallace Delois Wattles

In 1910 Wallace Delois Wattles published his famous book “The Science of Getting Rich”. Wallace D. Wattles expained the creative role of thought in the manifestation process and further elaborated over the universal role of energy as “stuff from which all things are made”. Wallace D. Wattles was the first to dedicate a sole chapter to the concept of Gratitude as a tool to support practitioner’s manifestation work. As he explained: “ the riches they receive will be in exact proportion to the definiteness of their vision, the fixity of their purpose, the steadiness of their faith, and the depth of their gratitude.”

Wattle D Wallace’ work preceded another popular work by Napoleon Hill “Think and Grow Rich”

Napoleon Hill

In 1928 Napoleon Hill published his work “The Law of Success in 16 Lessons” which used the term Law of Attraction very frequently. The most famous work of Napoleon Hill is “Think and Grow Rich” book was first published in 1937 and later to become one of the world’s best selling book. “Think and Grow Rich” work was surrounded by a number of mysteries, such as promise of Napoleon Hill to disclose “real secret” to success which never was actually disclosed leading to miscellaneous speculations. Another interesting development on this subject was the channeled message from Abraham (The Teachings of Abraham, channeled by Ester Hicks) where the non-physical presence of Napoleon Hill disclosed that the word “vibration” had to be taken from the early publications of his book due to publisher’s fear that such term won’t be accepted, would prevent sales and was outright scary for most readers at the time.

The Secret Movie

Fast forward to 2006 when talented movie The Secret was taking over the world by storm and propelling The Law of Attraction to become a household discussion subject for tens of millions people worldwide. Rhonda Byrne shared that “The Science of Getting Rich” book by Wallace  Wattles served as her inspiration for the film. The movie was sequenced as a series of interviews given by well-known authors, inspirations speakers, teachers and “visionaries” (although I found the term “visionary” a bit funny. What do you do for living? ‘I am visionary. And you?’).

The messages delivered by The Secret are loud and clear: Thoughts Create Things, and Positive Emotional Attitudes are helpful and necessary to manifest desires. Although the movie implies that those in position of power are hiding The Secret from masses, I found that masses “in poverty and not in power” are just not that interested in this subject to begin with.

Esther and Jerry Hicks

One of the most significant sources of inspirational and informative materials on the subject of Law of Attraction are the works of Jerry and Esther Hicks. In 1986 Esther Hicks began channeling the messages from the group of non-physical beings that were given a name “Abraham”. While this experience was initially very shocking for Esther – the process attracted lots of interest from Jerry and soon, with Jerry’s support,  Esther and Jerry began giving channeling workshops to ever growing groups of people. These works are summarized as “The Teachings of Abraham” and up until the present day (even after Jerry Hicks passed away in 2011) Esther continues to give the workshops and seminars where she channels the Abraham’s answers to any questions people are asking.

I was introduced to The Teachings of Abraham through “Ask and It Is Given” and some other books and the enlightenment quality and consistency of the message was very clear to me. I consider The Teachings of Abraham to be one the most helpful and practical guiding messages on the subject on manifestation of desires and The Law of Attraction.

The Concepts

After reading and practicing The Law of Attraction concepts for more that 15 years I can share the real secret as well as a number of the “missing secrets”, right here and without charging for it. I can authoritatively admit that while the Law of Attraction concepts are simple -

THE IS NO SINGLE PUBLICATION, BOOK OR MOVIE THAT LISTS ALL THESE CONCEPTS IN ONE PLACE OR
IN THE RIGHT ORDER.

Thoughts indeed create things and positive thinking is indeed necessary for manifestation of desires – although by themselves they are not enough.

The Secret movie spawned a number of opinions and reviews, both positive and negative. The flurry of negative opinions could be divided mostly in two parts:

1. First: What about innocent children, victims and mass disasters (did these people attract the perils?). The answer to this question deserves a separate (to follow) article, although I think Abraham delivered the best answers on these type of questions.
2. Second:
   - I tried LOA and it didn’t work for me.
   - I visualize, visualize, positively think and think, but where is my stuff?

#2 is directly related to the art of manifestation and for that reason I am going to elaborate on it in greater details.

Everything in our universe is energy – everything you see, feel, hear or otherwise perceive. Everything within and beyond our perceptions is energy as well. Everything. Energy always moves. The fact that you can see, hear or smell – means that energy moves and you are capable of tuning into it’s vibrational frequency.
Energy cannot stop and cannot disappear. It can only change it’s form. Energy always flows.
Our thoughts are energy. What we now see, feel and touch has only existed in the form of thought just a little while ago. As soon as you conceive and entertain a thought – any thought – it immediately flows into the endless universe and attracts like thoughts. They in turn attract material manifestations of the similar energies. Miserable thought manifest more misery, abundant thoughts adds more abundance to the creator of it and to the world around.

That which is like unto itself is drawn – is the major premise of the Law of Attraction. Like attracts like – and the only way to manifest new and improved version of the outer world is to change the vision within your inner world – your inner vibrations – your inner thoughts and, as a consequence – your inner emotional state.
So how would we go about manifesting the things we want? More abundance? More money? More creative energy our your lives? Your dream job or dream body condition or your dream soulmate or partner?
I found that simple car analogy works the best to explain not only the process itself but also the proper order of actions.

Here it goes:
Imagine you want to take your car and drive to your vacation destination. Some exciting place where you never been before.
So here’s what you’d want to do – and in this specific order:

1. Decide where you want to go and prepare the road map: Set Intention and Make Decision to start moving toward it.
2. Check your car – make sure it’s in good driving condition and there are no obstacles to movement: Get your mind ready for the trip.
3. Release the breaks: Let go of Resistance.
4. Keep driving according to your roadmap, never mind occasional stops or detours. Keep your destination in mind, keep driving and have fun along the way in expectation of arriving to the wonderful place where you never been before: Enter and Maintain the Desired State.

The Practice

I • Set Intention and Make Decision to start moving toward it.

This is very important, yet not a difficult step, but approach it with utmost respect and focusing. Let say you decided to achieve financial independence. You are making commitment to yourself to create a life of joy and freedom, a life of your own choosing. Not that you would like to try to maybe do something, but that you will do everything it takes to achieve that.
No matter whats your past or current situation – consider it a clean, fresh and exciting start. You’re about to start moving toward it just by making tiny, simple decision!
Feel free to feel as excited about it as if you just been told that the check is in the mail.
Very important part of this step – is to make your new intention to become the highest priority intention. Above and beyond anything else. This of course does not mean that you should stop attending your daily necessities but that VERY MUCH MEANS that before making meaningful choices in your daily active life – you’ll be ruthlessly asking yourself: will this help me to move toward my ultimate intention or will it distract me from that?
For example, before making a choice of food, activity or being focused on something that involve other people desires – keep asking yourself this question and making CONSCIOUS CHOICE, not default one driven by past habits. Of course if boss is asking you to attend the meeting – the choice is simple, but if during that meeting the boss decided to engage in worthless rhetorics – you could make a wiser choice to do some mental exercises that will help you to shift your state (see further) that matches your intention, not intention of your boss.
Some choices will be tough and driven by negative habits – like strong desire to take some junk food within a choice of healthy food or choosing to postpone to do some beneficial activity in favor of lengthy and worthless entertainment spree.
The important part here is not the choice you made, but your focused ability to ask yourself a conscious question and make a conscious choice, not losing yourself in robotic habitual reactions. Another important element here – is to align yourself with the choice taken REGARDLESS of actual choice. Whatever choice you’ll make – feel happy and not guilty about it, even if that choice was not the best available. If you absolutely feel the urge to take junk food lunch – do not feel guilty about it. Feel happy and enjoy it to the best of your ability. And then pat yourself in the back for three accomplished things:

• You remembered to asked yourself a question before making a choice.
• You answered this question.
• You did your best to “align” yourself with your choice, likely enjoyed it, and did not feel that guilty regardless of the choice taken.

The work here is consistent and CONSCIOUS AWARENESS of your big intention and ABILITY TO BE MORE ALERT instead of “fast asleep” with your eyes opened.
Notice that very soon you’ll start making more of a different, more “toward your intention” choices, instead of the ones driven by past habits. Do not push yourself to perfection of making only the right choices and punishing yourself with guilt by taking the wrong choices, but strive toward alertness and consciousness in your daily decisions in the view of your ultimate intention.
Please note – that it is usually better to keep your ultimate intention and your practices to yourself. You do not need other people’s opinions and extra distractions on your way to manifestation of your dream.

Practice:

II • Get your mind ready for the trip.

This is a test (car condition check): stand in front of the mirror, look at yourself, your face. Now look close, right into your eyes and say: “I Love You …(your name)”.
How did it go? What did you feel?
Did you feel ease and inspiration? Or did you feel tension, stress or any negative feelings?
If that exercise didn’t flow easily and positively for you – or even worse (and more likely!) – you felt negative, depressed, angered, frustrated, disappointed, unwilling, resilient, etc. – you just found the most common cause for all personal miseries overlooked by pretty much most self improvement and personal development sources.
This is the LACK OF SELF LOVE.
If you’d ignore that fact and continue on with practices described in any other Law of Attraction source (meditation, visualization, imagination, feelings, etc…) – you’ll likely end up joining the army of people complaining that LOA does not exist or does not work. Without self-love – everything else will be manifested to match your non-loving inner state.
Lack of self-lack + visualization of money will bring you passed promotions at work, TV fragments showing other people winning lotteries and long lines at the bank for you to observe how others are happily depositing their lovely checks.
Lack of self-love + imagination of your ideal soulmate will manifest in a flurry connections with disrespectful and ignorant individuals. So that for the bad news.
The good news is that this inner glitch is easy to correct, although it will require persistence and regular maintenance exercise. This is not difficult, although like any other habit changing exercise, it will feel uncomfortable at first. Another piece of good news is that we do not need to delay main Law of Attraction practices as we can do them all together.
Self-love is not selfishness, ignorance or narcissism. It is your inherent sense of well-deserved self-worth, self-respect and self-confidence.
The exercise might not be easy especially if you had a life-long habit of being tough on yourself. Your subconscious mind on occasions will present you 100’s of excuses to skip it or avoid it – but be persistent!
Here we’re talking the power of Universe and, if you will, the Power of God working 100% on your side.

Practice:

III • Let go of Resistance.

Resistance is one and the only reason most people are getting what they don’t want and not getting what they want in their lives. Absence of self-love that was taken care by the previous exercise is the biggest and fattest king of resistances of them all. So we dedicated a separate exercise to cultivating or rather re-awakening self love. With diligent practice this will automatically take care of multitude of problems as well.
What remains after that is inherited, often subconscious, automatic resistance to certain subjects such as money, health, events, subjects, people, etc.. This resistance will surface as sudden negative reaction felt on the emotional level. Resistance is caused by the resistant thoughts, such as “I am not good enough …”, “I won’t have enough money…”, “Someone else always gets what I deserve …”, “It’s unfair …” etc…
Resistance thoughts are essentially our inner energy blocks – they prevent energy flow.
There are two major ways to overcome resistance:

1. Passive: Stop and eliminate resistant thoughts: Meditation practices.
2. Active: Activate positive, allowing thoughts: The DreamCatcher’s Altitude Practice.

Passive approach: meditation:
Our universe is very cooperative and when you stop or at least make your resistance thoughts diminish – this will automatically cause energy flow to increase and your well-being level will rise.
Both passive and active approach works equally well and personal preference depends more on personality of practitioner.
The general approach toward successful meditation practice is to comfortably relax and consciously follow some sort of repetitive mundane pattern, usually breathing and related body sensations in a passive observer manner. Repetition of mantras or quiet soothing music makes for easier meditation.
Regular meditation practice serves as a good supplementary tool to freshen your inner energy.

Active approach: Altitude Practice:
Active approach to eliminate resistance involves proactive, conscious changes in your attitude (thoughts) toward everything around you.
“Altitude” stands for Appreciation + Love Attitude. I collected the best gems from the most valuable and practical spiritual guides and Law of Attraction books and teachings and boiled them down into simple practice that can be easily followed during the day and greatly helps to eliminate inner resistance to well-being.

On a way to eliminate resistance Abraham (The Teachings of Abraham) prefers pure positive thoughts (energy of appreciation and love) to no-thoughts (meditation).
Wallace D Wattles in his monumental “The Science of Getting Rich” book says:

The whole process of mental adjustment and atonement can be summed up in one word, gratitude… if your gratitude is strong and constant, the reaction in Formless Substance will be strong and continuous; the movement of the things you want will be always toward you.

Abraham says:

Love and appreciation are identical vibrations. It’s a vibration of alignment with who you are. It’s an absence of resistance. It’s an absence of everything that feels bad and presence of everything that feels good. The state of appreciation is me being in sync with the whole of who i am…
The secret to life is this: look for something to appreciate and practice it until it becomes easy and you will live happily ever after…

One of the very important notes made by Abraham (that no other source mentioned) is the vibrational difference between Gratitude and Appreciation. While Appreciation and Love are identical vibrations, Gratitude and Appreciation are not. Gratitude more often present within us when we got or achieved something as a result of a quest or struggle or “active striving toward”. Hence Gratitude might contain “traces” of that previous resistance and struggle, while appreciation and real unconditional love does not. Gratitude has a character of sticking toward specific subjects, objects or conditions, while appreciation has a wonderful tendency to spill all over everything.
Gratitude might have a flavor of “because…” [weather is good, car is running, my body feels well], while Appreciation can be more “uncaused” and keep being present without logical reason. Yet Gratitude is a wonderful “bridging” vibration toward yet higher Appreciation and Love vibrations and it is a good sign that the ultimate vibration of appreciation and love are well within reach. Once you’re into appreciation mode – the is no resistance within you and all your desires and dreams are on the finish line toward you.

Letting go of resistance practice is essentially daily alertness, openness and willingness to find more and more things to appreciate. No matter how busy you are – every day present countless “idle” moments that are perfect to practice and polish your appreciation skills.

Practice:

IV • Enter and Maintain the Desired State.

If you want to be happy, be.
– Leo Tolstoy

So far I gave you rather long informative introduction to concepts somewhat not directly related to the law of attraction: subjects of self-love, elimination of resistance, practicing appreciation, love and related explanations and practices.
Many (if not most) Law of Attraction coaching and education materials skip these essentials completely and jump all-in into the juicy, “the secrety” part: visualizations, present affirmations, meditations, etc… That would be a sandcastle approach that wouldn’t withstand a slight wind. Hence so many dissapointments from sincere practitioners.
I start with establishing the strong foundation. In fact if you’d do all the steps described above and scrap the rest – this already be enough to shift your life around, gain more energy and steer your life to the better in all aspects!

And yet now you’ll be ready for the state where setting up a clear intention will have you aligned with it and ready to allow actual physical manifestations.
The actual Law of Attraction work can be described in one word: the “STATE”.

Your practical work now will be to enter the STATE matching your intention described in the very first “Set Intention …” part.
So, what is this state?
This is the INNER EMOTIONAL STATE you’d be in if your intention would already be completely manifested in your life.
If your intention if financial independence – what would be your inner emotional state? Likely sense of freedom, joy, relaxation, no rush, flowing joy, appreciation of past lessons of hardships and to the current nice surroundings.
If your intention is rewarding career – your emotional state would be the sense of joy by doing the work you really love, connectedness to likeminded people, inspiration, flow of creativity and joy to know that ample compensation is happily flowing into your bank account on a regular basis.
Answering the question from woman struggling and dreaming about having her first child, Abraham answered:
“You need to get emotional baby first!”
This is your work. Get your “emotional baby” first.
And this is an ultimate Catch 22 of the Law of Attraction: You want something because you know that you’ll feel good after obtaining it. But to get what you want – you’ll have to make yourself feel emotionally NOW as if you already have what you want. This will allow your dream to manifest.
Using our previous driving the car analogy: the way to resolve this catch is to dissolve as much inner resistance as possible first (releasing breaks) and then enter and be in the emotional state matching what you want (driving!). Without releasing breaks – you won’t be able to go anywhere. Although you can somewhat move in a hit-and-miss fashion if your imagination powered by emotions and desire is strong enough. That’s where scarce examples of semi-successful applications of The Law of Attraction are coming from. People get excited and start really pushing their imagination and meditation practices without clearing inner resistance first. If resistance is not big – they start getting somewhat nice occasional manifestations. But they also began finding out that to keep good things coming – they have to keep up the pressure with really intense, dedicated and often exhausting visualization practices, or goodness flow stops and things quickly revert to the old ways of being and old routines.
This is akin to driving the car with breaks on. Releasing the breaks first will make it easy to you to keep your car moving forward with very little and often joyful effort.
As you already have a guide on how to dissolve your resistance – the only thing left – is learning to enter and practice being in THE STATE. This will require regular daily practices.
Learning to enter the “already manifested” emotional state while everything outside shows you the proof to the contrary could be challenging at the beginning. It is also a very personal work where certain instructions might work for one, but not for another. So the best way to start is to go with general instructions and then play with your imagination and notice what works better for you.

Practice:

Summary and Conclusion

That’s it for the practical introduction to mastering the amazing Law of Attraction. If you will diligently follow the steps described – you will start noticing your life quality will gradually improve and things will start going your way.

To summarize the teaching:

• Practice self-love exercise twice daily.
• Be in the state of appreciation as often as you could remember during your daily routine and idle moments.
• Practice being in the emotional state as if your desire already manifested. Make it regular three times a day practice to become more and more comfortable with imagery of your dream and feeling of your success!

…and most important of all – Have Fun with it!

When I read about the magical powers of gratitude this made me think. Gratitude is one of these “keys” that enables you to receive the fruits of your desires through the Law of Attraction powers. The more grateful you are – the more your energy is in tune with the universal energy and the mood of gratitude allows the process of manifestation of your intentions.

Appreciation is a very similar vibration. In fact the vibration of appreciation is very similar to the vibration of Love. Abraham explains that attitude of appreciation, the “mode” of appreciation makes you an immediate match to well-being and allows it to flow into your real physical experience.
Ever wondered why is that you cannot get something you really, really want? Or good things seems to flow into your life at a much slower pace than their opposites?
That is just because your inner vibration is the opposite of what you want. For major part – this inner “opposite” vibration comes from deeply ingrained unconscious thought patterns.

The way to overcome them – is to start offering thoughts that are matching your desires, not opposing them. The way you know that you’re offering the matching vibration is by the way you feel.

The feelings of joy, upliftment, hope, interest, inspiration -  are the proof that your inner vibration is in the matching mode to any well-being you want.

As Abraham teaches – the quickest way to shift your vibration to the “proper”, higher, “manifestation”  frequency – is by guiding your thoughts to better feeling thoughts.

There are many techniques to do that but the simplest and in fact most powerful way to do that is start offering gratitude and appreciation. It does not really matter what would be the object of your gratitude or what you will appreciate – as long as the inner, positive energy shift takes place.

The key to successful mastering of the Law of  Attraction is consistency of these practices. The more often you express gratitude and appreciation – the less often you yield to the unhelpful vibrations and less likely allow any inner resistance to work against you.
While it is really easy to be grateful moment to moment – it is just as easy to forget to do that!

I personally found that lack of consistency in this work is the most common reasons of failure to manifest desires and frustrations that many people experience with the Law of Attraction.

In an effort to make my personal practices more profound and successful – I decided to call the power of internet to help with expression of appreciation and gratitude.

Today it’s extremely easy for everyone to have a website or launch a blog – and you can do it totally free with Google blogger service or very inexpensively with self-hosted WordPress.

So, if expressing gratitude and appreciation is such a powerful practice – what id we could do that 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? Even while we sleep! So, after about 2 months worth of work I developed a set of universal web widgets, that I named “Magical Gratitude” Widget” and “Rampage of Appreciation” widget:

These widgets allows you to write the list of things that you are grateful for and share your appreciation toward anything or anyone you want. Just click on any of these widgets to see how it works. Once you’re ready – click [Get widget code] button, copy HTML snippet and paste it into your blog or website. And voila – you got your own Magical Gratitude widget or Rampage of Appreciation widget. Or both!

The benefits of this process is multiple:

1. This process actually awakens your creativity and forces you to think, find, discover and write many things that you could be grateful for. Writing about subjects of appreciation and gratitude is very active and beneficial practice by itself.
   Thinking about things to appreciate inevitably raises your vibration.
2. Once you grabbed the widget code and placed it on your site or blog – it always reminds you about so many things to be grateful for, so much beauty to appreciate – whenever you look at it.
   And even beyond that – every visitor to your website can easily observe your gratitude and appreciation subjects. Every time this happens – it ignites the similar thoughts patterns within that person. And your website visitors might come to see your page with appreciation widget from all over the world.
3. Once you placed such widget on your website – anyone can grab the widget code from your website and create his own list of things to be grateful for and appreciate. What could be more beautiful than knowing that you are spreading bits of love and appreciation in the world. And this process is happening always, non stop, even while you sleep!
4. Within the widget I included function that allows anyone to get links from other websites when someone copies the widget from their site. By default it links here to support the development efforts, but you can request to change links to point back to your website (this is commercial, yearly service). When it happens – the more Gratitude and Appreciation widgets are taken from your site – the more ranking power it gives back to you.
   The viral power of gratitude and appreciation works multiple ways and it always growing progressively.
5. These widgets are free to use and if you feel desire to have it customized for your website – feel free to let me know.

Recently I came across Abraham Hicks video clips on YouTube and this time the impression was not only positive it was shocking! The clarity and depth of Abraham’s teachings and surgical precision of the answers was beyond the impression the one would get from self-help workshop. Timeless truth was delivered in simple and easy words, tricky questions were answered with powerful blend of wisdom, humor and energy. Watching video clips from Abraham workshops and events was very entertaining and inspiring experience.You see the eyes, you hear the voice, you see eagerness to get an answer on impossible questions. With every word of Abraham you observe the person starting to relax, shine with inspiration and glowing with emotions of joy from simplicity of an answer that addressed the problem felt unmanageable just a few short moments ago.

After reading so many works of enlightened teachers I learned to recognize the word of a master from the word of a self-help guru or educator. When timeless wisdom comes by your experience – your inner being recognizes the truth. The unmistakable depth and the crystal clarity is there!

We are lucky to live in these wonderful times where we access the word coming from the Source in a matter of minutes. No need to travel thousand miles to attend monastery on the top of a mountain to learn from The Source.

Esther started to channel Abraham in 1986 and with the great help from Jerry Hicks (who passed away in 2011) – the workshops became available as a recordings worldwide.

It’s amazing to observe an amazing consistency of Abraham’s line of answers that was flawlessly maintained for more than 25 years! I welcome you to watch the videos and prove to yourself the quality and practical usefulness of Abraham teachings.

If needed to summarize The Teachings of Abraham in a few sentences – to make your dreams come true – you need to make yourself to feel emotionally good even if your outside circumstances are totally to the contrary.

Once you can learn to take control over your emotions – the goodness begins to flow your way! The most practical and fast way to get your emotions under control is learning to appreciate. Practice to appreciate things you love (that’s an easy part), then move over to appreciating things you didn’t care much about and then, just to make things interesting, learn to appreciate stuff that previously caused you to feel negativity. Once you grasp that skill – you’re well on your way to manifesting your desires.

Abraham says that no matter your current situation or current conditions – with a little willpower, desire and practice – you can make yourself feel good and get in full alignment with your own Vortex – your energy reality holding ALL your dreams.

Remember – feel good no matter what and appreciate!

And, on a final note, if you have a blog or website – you may boost your appreciation practice by creating your own Appreciation Widget, customizing it and placing on your website to share with the whole world your appreciation!

Love heals, Love dissolves energy blocks, Love resolves all problems and allows our dreams to manifest.
But did you know that you can actually increase the power of Love in your daily Ho’oponopono practice?
Next time you use Ho’oponopono cleaning mantra while being next to- or thinking about some person, especially pronouncing “I love you” words – try to actually feel the love. Turn on your emotional love energy on a feeling level. Feel this love energy coming to life within you. If you’ll succeed, just a little bit, congratulations! You can practice this loving feeling with anyone – strangers, sales clerks, bypassers, loved ones, and of course – yourself. Other people does not need to know that you “emitting” love toward them – but I can guarantee – they will feel it on some level – some on a deep subconscious level, other will actually look at you, ready to smile!
This is the essence of “active” practice: actually adding the feeling of Love to Ho’oponopono mantra work. Emotional charge strengthen the cleaning and healing effect for yourself as well as for the other person. Nothing heals more powerfully and on a very deep levels as unconditional love. Add “feeling love” step to your daily Ho’oponopono practice and enjoy the wonderful results!

The beauty and simplicity of Self Identity through HO’OPONOPONO is its ability to erase memories and to replace them with inspirations for perfect living.

Is that an issue with practitioner’s “genes”, incorrect way of practice or modality itself?
Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len reiterated the simplicity of Ho’oponopono and “just do it” approach. But is there a possibility of “incorrect” way to do it vs. “correct” way?
The “light bulb” answer emerged when I’ve researched experiences of multiple participants who practiced meditation for many years and yet grew increasingly frustrated with their lack of progress in personal lives: “I’ve mediated for 20+ years and nothing changed”, reported one. Studying multiple sources detailing such experiences and correlating it with my own observations the conclusion started to appear.

My own experience with Ho’oponopono was glowing and almost immediate success at the beginning, little progress for months after and then another wave of solid success – but only after I understood the very important aspect of the practice.

The discovered answer applies to any modality that involves any sort of repetitive activity and it applies to Ho’oponopono cleaning mantras as well.
When person just mindlessly mumbling the Ho’oponopono cleaning mantras hundreds of times – this usually has almost zero effect. From my own experience when I “lost” myself mindlessly repeating the cleaning words – I neither saw nor felt any difference. There is no cleaning going on. The way our brain and mind works – when faced with any repetitive task (such as saying Ho’oponopono cleaning phrases) our conscious mind inertia tries to “delegate” this task to subconscious to get back to “active thinking” as soon as possible. Have you noticed that you can catch yourself sometimes thinking totally different and often negative stuff when repeating Ho’oponopono cleaning words? You just caught yourself unconscious and on autopilot. The same happens with meditation when mind loses itself in random thinking.
The key is your Presence. This is the Power of Presence that Eckhart Tolle was talking about and it is the same as “mindfullness” or “awareness” spoken by countless spiritual teachers and healers.
And *that* is the key difference between practicing ho’oponopono mindlessly and “active ho’oponopono”. Your consciousness is activated and is working together with you and the whole universe, vs. you repeating words mindlessly fast alseep with your eyes open.
The moment I turned on the light of awareness in my Ho’oponopono cleaning practice – the things started to improve and quite often very quickly.
So how do we add the light of PRESENCE in Ho’oponopono practices?

It is not difficult – you just need to maintain awareness of your feelings, your inner emotional state while doing the cleaning. For example when something triggers your negativity – you feel it inside – and start cleaning and be aware of your inner energy, your inner feelings, your inner emotional state. You are shining the light of your awareness into your inner being and at the same time with the help of Ho’oponopono cleaning – sending petition to divinity to restore your original, fully balanced state. When you say “I love you” and mindfully aware of your inner emotional energy – the transformation takes place. You may also do it when you feel happy, The Universe loves to embrace you and cooperate with you regardless of the emotional state you are in.

Try it – mindfullness of your inner emotions is very powerful addition to your practice to help you dissolve inner energy “errors”.
