Most people by now are familiar with the idea of Law of Attraction. However, knowing about it and applying it are two very different things.
I first heard about “Creating your own Reality,” through the Seth Material at a young age.
I was fascinated with the idea of my thoughts creating the world around me but I wasn’t exactly sure how I could really change the way I thought.
It wasn’t until I discovered Abraham Hicks that I was able to practically use these five lessons to change my life.
1) The Abraham Hicks Teachings taught me to Make my State of Mind a Priority
One of my favorite Abraham Hicks Quotes is “Everything we want to do or be or have is because we think that in the having of it we’ll feel better.”
Everyone in this world desires a completely different set of things, but ultimately we all want the same thing. A feeling of satisfaction.
For some it is having children. For some it is having a million dollars. For some it is simply having a solid check. The circumstances do not matter. We all want to feel satisfaction in our lives.
Before reading the Abraham Hicks Teachings I was trying desperately to make things happen in my life.
I was putting an enormous amount of action into trying to change my present circumstances.
After understanding that what I was really chasing was a feeling, I focused less on the circumstances of my life and more on how I wanted to feel.
In other words, rather than striving to make things happen, I put myself into a state of allowing by feeling as if those things had already happened.
This is much easier said than done. It took a lot of practice for me to get into this state. This might sounds dramatic, but I really didn’t think I was capable of feeling anything but stress.
Afterall I had spent the previous 20 years of my life as a suicidal alcoholic. I literally viewed life as something that had to be suffered through.
I felt like I was “Lying”…
At first it felt weird to feel like I had things that I actually didn’t. It felt like I was lying.
I needed to remind myself that they hadn’t actually manifested. So I said, “I know this thing hasn’t actually happened, but how would I feel if it did.”
This allowed me to bypass my feeling of disbelief, and eventually I was able to feel better without changing my external circumstances.
2) I learned to be more Aware or my Internal Thoughts.
Making how I felt a priority in my life made me realize how often I was actually thinking negatively about myself.
Although it wasn’t easy at first, I was able to set the intention to think better about myself. I started to believe that I wasn’t a horrible person and that I deserved to have things work out for me.
This is still a work in progress but I have been able to significantly change the way I view myself and the world.
3) I Learned to Focus less on the Past and more on the Future
In the words of Abraham Hicks, the easiest way to change your thinking is to “lay new pipes.”
My “new pipes” were my determination to feel more positive emotions. I could not find much in my past to conjure those emotions so I didn’t think about is as much.
In looking forward and trying to conjure positive emotions, the past became much less interesting.
I thought less about the past simply because I wasn’t focusing on it as much. For the first time I felt like I was able to truly let go of my past and start to move forward.
4) My relationship to Money changed
Abraham Hicks describes money as a vibrational commodity. She states that one must feel abundant in order to have abundance.
While I was practicing this Abraham Hicks exercise I was a full time musician and I had injured my hand and couldn’t play. I literally had no income more than 3 weeks and could not find a “normal” job.
I needed to eat so I went to the grocery and used the last room I had on my card.
I was worried about bills and didn’t know how I was going to come up with money.
While I was waiting for the bus (I didn’t have enough money to fix my car) it started to rain and my paper bags started to melt.
Needless to say I was not in the best state of mind!
But In that moment I decided that I was going to stop myself from worrying and instead conjure a feeling of abundance.
Afterall, the Abraham Hicks material is a practice rather than simply a body of knowledge.
I was actually able to get myself in an amazing state during that bus ride by completely ignoring my circumstances and when I got off the bus I felt an impulse to walk a different way home.
On the way I found 70 dollars on the sidewalk.
The money itself was not pertinant. But seeing it there confirmed that there was a connection between my thoughts and my experience.
I knew that money was a vibration as much as a physical commodity, and the experience gave me more of a determination to keep doing the “work” of feeling better.
5) I learned to “Move up the Vibrational Scale”
In the Abraham Hicks book “Ask and it is Given” Abraham talks about the vibrational scale. The lowest emotion on the scale is fear and the highest is appreciation.
I had long understood the importance of feeling appreciation and joyfulness but it was really hard sometimes.
In this book Abraham explains that the best way to get out of fear is to feel anger. She explains that revenge is actually a higher vibration than despair.
Instead of trying to feel wonderful in every moment I simply started trying to feel thoughts that felt a little better. As a result started generally feeling better.
My life has changed in many way since listening and applying the Abraham Hicks techniques.
I still experience difficult emotions but overall I feel like I am moving towards something instead of being in a constant state of despair.
Today I am in a wonderful relationship, something I never thought possible.
While before listening to the Abraham Hicks teaching my life consisted of little more than hard work and struggle, today I spend most of my days creating and doing the things I love.
I have made my state of mind a priority and it has paid off in so many ways.
I hope this inspires you to check out the Abraham Hicks Material and make how you feel a priority!!
