The 90-Day Vortex Diet - Day 4

I feel good and that is what matters most!

Are things where I want them? No, not completely.

Are things heading in the direction of my desires being fulfilled? You betcha! Faith can move mountains!

According to the book, "The Vortex", the contrasts I have been living and experiencing have launched numerous "rockets of desire". These "rockets of desire" cover every subject and every desire for expansion or newness I've ever thought or desired. The best thing is these "rockets of desire" are awaiting my ALIGNMENT in order to come to fruition. It's that simple.

I don't have to worry or struggle anymore. I just have to trust this and get my butt into ALIGNMENT with my Vortex (non-physical self) by reaching for improvement. The actions and steps to be taken will be obvious.

Every morning I meditate, pray and read inspirational passages to set the tone for my day. It is vital to me!

I want to share a document my Spiritualist Minister, Rev. Drew Vogt shared with us that he obtained from the Abraham-Hicks' website.  I read this every morning.

A Synopsis of Abraham-Hicks' Teachings

1. You are a physical extension of that which is Non-physical.
2. You are here in this body because you chose to be here.
3. The basis of your life is freedom; the purpose of your life is joy.
4. You are a creator; you create with your every thought.
5. Anything that you can imagine is yours to be or do or have.
6. As you are choosing your thoughts, your emotions are guiding you.
7. The Universe adores your for It knows your broadest intentions.
8. Relax into your natural well-being. All is well. (Really, it is!)
9. You are a creator of thoughtways on your unique path to joy.
10. Actions to be taken and possessions to be exchanged are by-products of your focus on joy.
11. You may appropriately depart your body without illness or pain.
12. You can not die; you are Everlasting Life.

I especially like number 10 as it reminds me that my focus on Joy and feeling good is my primary objective of this "diet" and my daily life. And so it is...

The 90-Day Vortex Diet - Day 3

Wow! I am amazed at how easy things have been lately. It seems counter to my human intellect that taking care of myself first, almost selfishly, really makes a difference in my life AND my relationships! I AM SEEING THE RESULTS!! Wow, I like that.

Now mind you I am not doing this for the results. I am doing this first and foremost to bring more peace and ease into my life. Lord knows I have spent many years forcing and manipulating the Universe to get what I wanted. All I had to do was figure out what I want, work on my connection and feeling good and then trust the results would show up.

Is this challenging at times? HECK YES!!!!! Sometimes I get so plugged in that it is hard to come back to Center. What do I do? I use some of the tools and processes outlined in the numerous Law of Attraction books, CD's, etc. to bring myself back to Center or a better feeling place than where I was. It works every time. I feel better within minutes.

My favorite tool so far is my Mala beads. I pull out the long strand and practice gratitude for each bead. I either just sit in gratitude or I say statements of what I am grateful for. It doesn't matter. Either way it works and moves me to a better feeling place. That is what it is all about, right? Feeling better and trusting my Vortex (non-physical self) to lead the way.

That's all for now... XOXO

The 90-Day Vortex Diet - Day 2

Yesterday went extremely well. I accomplished a lot AND got to the gym to begin again my physical fitness routine of Yoga, cardio, core and weights. It was wonderful to get back into the swing of things after the holidays. My body LOVED it!

What really hits home for me about the Law of Attraction and The Vortex is the simplicity of the concepts. It is putting it into practice that is the challenge. You know how that is, when things don't go the way you want them to?... I don't know about you but my mind wants to immediately go to judging, criticizing, justifying and positioning. It is an automatic response that I have been conditioned into. It really takes effort to shift my focus and get back into my Vortex.

One of the concepts from the book that really helps me is that if I cannot shift my focus in a particular area of my life, then think of an area of my life where I can. For example: If I cannot shift my to my focus in the subject of my career, then, focus on a subject where I can regain my improved focus like my relationship, or my health or some other area where I can easily grab good feelings, thoughts and be grateful and full of appreciation.

Over and over again, in all of their books and audio programs that I have read or heard, Esther & Jerry Hicks tell us that nothing is more important than that we FEEL GOOD! Period!

I am taking this to heart. This is the simple and easy focus of my Vortex Diet. Focus upon feeling good and supporting that for 90-Days and see what happens...

The 90-Day Vortex Diet - Day 1

I am so excited about today. It is the official day I am beginning this 90-Day Vortex Diet journey. It should be quite an adventure and experience, especially the part about me writing about it on a daily basis. Wow!

So, here's to the Law of Attraction and what Abraham has been teaching us for a number of years. Since finishing the book, "The Vortex" by Esther and Jerry Hicks, I have had the pleasure of toying with these concepts. I have seen the inkling of some results and I have seen positive steps in my self and in what the Universe has been bringing me. BUT, this is not the end...

As I wrote yesterday, I am on my knees and at my wit's end as far as creating and experiencing my life as a miracle and creative endeavor. I have been in more of a survival mode for a few years. And what's challenging is when something outside of me has been showing up contrary to what I want, I have been bogged down by this for several days and weeks and suffered the consequences of my "focus".

The more I lament and judge, the more I find to lament about and judge. Interesting how that works! Again, it's all about the Law of Attraction and where I choose to place my focus.

This grand experiment is for me to consistently practice turning my focus away from what I don't want and focus on what I want to create. I am going to shift my focus whenever I find myself in contrast, negativity or upset. I am going to take a moment to check in with my "Vortex" (spirit or non-physical self) before I make any decisions, take any actions or even speak. I am going to do as the book tells us to do, to focus on my connection with My Vortex and feeling good.

Nothing is more important than that I feel good! This is going to be my primary focus.

I will use the book as a guide when I feel stress or contrast and lose sight of my Vortex. I will share all of this journey with you as well as the results.

Ya'll come back now! Ya' here? XOXOXO

Vortex Diet outline and intent...

So, tomorrow is the big day we begin this 90+ day journey together. Why you ask? Well, I have several reasons now that you mention it...

1. I want to test this "Law of Attraction" and practice the principles laid out so clearly in The Vortex, by Esther & Jerry Hicks.
2. I want to share this journey with others.
3. I love to write.

What led me to this place of wanting to test this out? Well, a heck of a lot.

Back in November I went on a Shamanic retreat in the Sierra's for Samhain. It was a great weekend, however, there was a side of me that was still suffering and did not want to return to humanity. I have felt beat up and exhausted by life and by life's challenges recently.

I was ready to "go" as we say, but my spirit guides would have nothing to do with it. They quite clearly instructed me to come back and to listen to them. Listen, listen, listen. They are willing, able and desirous of helping me. Help in this life is what I needed because I was on my knees begging for rescue.

What I didn't realize is I needed to be rescued from myself or more specifically MY MIND!

This did not come to me easily. It took a while to see. I was guided to pick up the book, "The Vortex" and begin reading it. It had been sitting on my shelf for a few weeks gathering dust.

Upon beginning the book I, once again, became clear that my "problems" were all in my mind. It was my thoughts and beliefs that were holding me back. This was hard to swallow, so I decided to "test" it out. I decided that I needed to practice the concepts and processes in this book. Up until that point I had toyed with the processes and concepts, but quickly returned to my insanity as soon as contrast showed up the way I thought it shouldn't. Sound familiar?

In this state of despair and drama, I bought a set of Mala beads to wear. Why? Well, when I find myself stuck, I pray and get grateful. All 108 beads. EVERY time I do this my focus shifts, I feel better and things go differently. It took some work initially, but now it is getter easier.

For the next 90 days I am going on what I call The Vortex Diet. I will share this with you. I will share with you my challenges, my concerns, my ideas, my emotions, my thoughts, my wins and results and my insights. We will see what my life looks like in 90 days...

Thought for the day...

I am sitting on my couch feeling wonderful, playing with Facebook and just feeling good. I am amazed at how easy life is becoming with this Vortex and Law of Attraction focus. It really is about feeling good and finding the next good feeling thought or experience. I am sure I will have plenty of stuff to write about in the next few months, but for now it feels like I don’t have much to write.

Well what just came to me was to use the Vortex to get organized and efficient. Yeah, that will work just fine.

So, what that means to me is to take a moment to check in with my Vortex or non-physical self and see what I am led to do after that. This feels good and feels like the right thing.

I am happy and complete today. All is well and so it is…

Happy New Year and a Happy New Me...

I am pleased that I have completed yet another year.

It has been an interesting year of awakening and taking care of myself. Very interesting to say the least! I have come back to a place that I feel I was so many years ago when I had the audacity to take care of myself first. We call this self-love and I don't mean the narcissistic type. I mean caring very deeply for the soul or non-physical and however that shows up in the moment. This means taking care of myself to FEEL GOOD at all times first and foremost. Not through running away or drugs or substances or substitutions or codependence or anything yucky.

I mean simply taking care to be in tune with my non-physical self or soul. Shifting my moment by moment focus to things that feel good or inspire me. I mean courting the presence within such that I feel no need for anything else. This place keeps me in bliss and I have watched over the last few weeks how this focus really does pay off. I feel good and things turn out better than anything I could have controlled or manipulated into being. Better yet, it is a much easier journey. Thank God!!!

I am going to begin my Vortex Diet again beginning on Monday. I will work on feeling good, staying in touch with my non-physical self or Vortex and do what is in front of me to do moment by moment. I am not sure where this will lead, but I know the peace and tranquility will be so worth it. The manifestations are a bonus and not the point of this project.

So, what is the point of this project. Shifting my focus intentionally and consistently to the wanted, to the blessings, to the gratitude, to the joy that exists when I let go of all the pressure I have learned to live within. Pressure I cause myself and pressure that others have attempted to impose upon me through the years. That is the point.

I will be sharing this journey with you daily through this blog. We'll see how this journey goes and what gets created and what gets opened up.

Ya'll come back now, Ya' here?
