Practice Raising Your Vibration in Ways That Work For You

In previous “Monthly Thoughts” I have talked a lot about vibration and how it is the key to manifestation. I have often said in various ways, direct and indirect, that what you focus on is what you will get more of. You focus both consciously and unconsciously.

I would like to offer you an opportunity to more consciously create through your focus and using a simple exercise, a meditation in consciousness, in awareness. Below is an opportunity to set the conditions for favorable manifestation, like when Springtime comes after the Winter. Springtime is a time of favorable conditions for the seeds that were planted a while ago to grow.

I have an invitation for you to experience growth and expansion through a fairly simple exercise. An invitation to have some more pleasure and joy in your life. If you decide to give this little experiment a try, I would suggest that you look at it as an exercise in becoming more conscious of how you habitually focus in your day-to-day life. I believe it will be exciting, fun and very informative to you!

I would suggest giving yourself a specific time period that you will really pay attention and focus on what I am about to suggest. You can do this little exercise as you go about your daily life or possibly devote a time period that may be different than your usual routine of life, maybe taking an extended walk in nature or simply a place that might be familiar to you or different. What is most important is to be conscious of your habitual way of looking and interpreting what you are observing for a set period of time and be willing to shift your focus of attention at times.

Set a time period for this exercise. 1 to 4 hours will most likely offer you the insight and experience that will give you much more than what you may think. You may wish to allow yourself to continue as long as it feels good to you to remain focused on this exploration.

Here is the exercise:

1. Become conscious of “how” you are seeing the world around you. Specifically notice how you feel about whatever it is you are seeing and thinking.
2. Notice what “feeling” words you use to describe to yourself your perceptions of the world around you. Pay attention to words like, good, bad, nice, ugly, sad, wonderful, painful, joyful etc. If you notice a flower, how do you describe it to yourself? Is it pretty, wilted, happy, alone or simply a “flower” and has no emotional meaning to you?
3. Notice what you are thinking and become as conscious as possible about how you feel about what you are thinking. Does what you are thinking feel good to you? Does what you are thinking feel expansive, heart opening, alive and uplifting? Does what you are thinking feel depressing, constrictive, sad, angry or somehow less than pleasant?
4. Once you are aware of how you are translating what you are seeing and thinking into feelings, make the conscious choice to shift, to uplift and exalt anything that is not a positive feeling by focusing on what might be positive and uplifting about what you are viewing or thinking about. If you are not able to shift whatever you are thinking about or seeing into a positive and uplifting feeling, consciously choose to pay attention to something that you can find or see that is beautiful and uplifting. If you are talking with someone find what is loveable about him or her even if it is only the color of his or her eyes and focus on that!
5. Your job and focus is to find what is beautiful and uplifting in everything you see and think about to the best of your ability for the time period you have allowed yourself for this experiment.

If you really try this exercise out, I believe you will discover many things about yourself and how you often unconsciously interact in the world. You will practice raising your vibration in ways that work for you. You may discover how often you are less loving and kind than you may have imagined and practice ways to shift your focus and attention into one that is more joyful and loving for yourself and towards others.

Let your focus on being “happy” become like Springtime, allowing the seeds your have planted long ago to germinate and grow into the creations you so desire. In shifting your focus onto what is “right” and what feels “good” you raise your vibration and will feel more joy, aliveness and expand your capacity of conscious manifestation. Living in a higher vibration increases the probability of manifesting those things you really desire. You allow yourself to feel “good” and feeling good is a very worthy goal in and of itself. It is the gateway to better health, the ability to have clearer guidance from your Higher-Self and attracting and growing those things that will enhance your life, from the “seeds of desire” that you planted in your “winter. Being “happy” sets the conditions for positive and fruitful growth. This will serve you and all those you care about and love!

I would like to hear how this exercise worked for you. Please use this as a practice of self-discovery, a time to become more conscious and aware and to simply to enjoy your life and the world a little more than you may currently be doing.

In Light, Love & Service,

Adama

Manifestation follows vibration ...

Here we are in the year of 2012! Looks like we are mostly still here and doing mostly what we have been doing before 2012. So, what have you been doing? Are you content with the progression of your life and its unfolding? Are you at peace with what “is” and now open to what can come that is more in alignment with your fondest desires or are you recreating your past?

We are energetic beings, living vibration and vibration producers.

The vibrations that we hold attract similar vibrations. A definition of vibration from the Merriam Webster Dictionary that may help us to be in congruent understanding is:

A: a characteristic emanation, aura, or spirit that infuses or vitalizes someone or something and that can be instinctively sensed or experienced —often used in plural

B: a distinctive usually emotional atmosphere capable of being sensed —usually used in plural

The stronger we are being in and resonating with a vibration the more attractive we will be of similar vibrations. What this means in our daily life is that the physical manifestation that we see around us in any given moment has followed our vibrational output! You can notice this in your interactions and meeting with people while driving or walking on the street.

Let’s suppose you have had an argument with someone before leaving your house and get into your car to drive, or you are walking on the street in the process of getting to wherever you are headed to next. The chance and probability of you encountering situations and “chance” meetings with other people or events that are congruent with the “vibration” or the “energy” you are currently in is very high.

This is when you are more likely to get into an accident driving or see angry, sad or unhappy people, possibly even having another unpleasant interaction with a stranger.

When vibrating and projecting angry thoughts you are also more likely to miss out on those “chance” occurrences or connections and meetings with other people that could have happened and dramatically brought into your present experience something uplifting, creative, fun, amusing and heart opening.

Do you see through your focus either conscious or unconscious, you draw to yourself and very actively influence your future and what is physically manifested in your current reality? This is a really big thing! You have a great deal of control over what your future experiences will be.

So, with this understanding it really makes sense to start your day and end your day before going to sleep by bringing yourself into a positive, clear aligned place. It also makes very practical sense to catch those times when you are upset, angry, in a “bad mood” and do some simple practice to help shift that “energy” or “vibration” into one that will serve you to bring into manifestation more of what you wish to attract and connect with. This is where you have power and control over what you will manifest into your reality!

It may be wise to have and to practice quick and simple things that help you to bring yourself into a vibrational place that serves you the most. It does not have to be anything big, complicated or difficult! What are some things you currently do that quickly bring yourself into a more peaceful, clear and heart opened vibration?

Some simple things I do are:

1. Noticing my breathing and purposefully breathing slowly and deeply. I find in conflict I contract and my breath can become shallow and restricted.
2. I purposefully notice my belly and stomach area and see if it is relaxed or tight and constricted. Paying attention to the breathing again can help with relaxing and giving myself an opportunity to raise my vibration upward.
3. I talk to myself in soothing ways, like you might talk to a child that is hurt, angry or scared. I tell myself that it will be OK. I tell myself that I can move beyond this as in the whole of my life this incident is really not that big or important.
4. I ask myself to really notice and think of how much whatever situation or thing that has stimulated my unease or distress will be of importance tomorrow or in 10 days or a month or a year from now.
5. I imagine breathing in a beautiful pure white light into the center of my heart and allowing it to expand outward throughout my body and aura for several breaths.
6. I look for what might be the hidden jewel or truth within the preceding event, interaction or upsetting thing that will be of benefit for me in the future.
7. I ask myself if I was looking at this situation from the perspective of my Higher-Self, what would I be seeing and how might I be feeling from a completely loving and heart opened space filled with kindness and compassion for others and myself.

The above are only suggestions and some of the tools and practices that work for me. What works for you? Do you have a mental list like the above ready to put into action in your life so that your vibration is one that insures that your future becomes the most desired one in occurrences and manifestations?

You have the ability to shift your vibration. You have control and power over your own feelings and emotions through your daily practices, tools that you use and conscious choices that you make. You can have the ability to insure a future of pleasing manifestations by tending to your ongoing “vibration” like a careful gardener plants seeds, waters, weeds, prunes, cares for and nurtures her garden.

In Great Appreciation & Love,

The Key to Opening Everything is in Your Heart

Posting for December of 2011, due to technical difficulties is now being posted.

Here we are fast approaching that fabled date of 2012! And all of you reading this are still here, maybe rocking and rolling with all that is happening in your lives on multiple levels. What a wild ride we are on! You know you “signed” up to be here. You among so many others claimed the right to be here during this extraordinary time of change, of dissolving of rebuilding of venturing into the unknown.

You waited in line to get here! You went through so much to be physically embodied, birth, a family, society, school and working to support yourself and maybe a family as well. Now you are reading this email and it is hopefully a reminder of the long very intentional journey you started long ago. You are a Divine Being! You are so much more than the physical body that your Soul resides in.

The greater part of you (the non-physical part) we call our Higher-Self sent a part of itself to be physically incarnated (the You here reading this). Your physical incarnation (what you consider you living this earthly life) is just as divine and holy as that part of you we call the Higher-Self. Your life here and now is tremendously important to your own Higher-Self’s continuing development. No matter what you are doing it is vitally important! Your simply being here and living your life is enough.

We signed up for a challenge and we are now living it together. You each have a family that is not of this world who supports and cheers us onward, our spirit family. We are supported in so many ways that are usually unseen by physical eyes. We are in a process of evolving and transforming our physical bodies into a higher order. This is not a journey for the faint at heart! We are all in various stages of awake and awakening.

The key to opening everything here is in your heart. Allowing your heart to open and radiate the divine light that you carry through your love is your primary mission. Your love is what will transmute lesser energies into something higher. Your love is what will bring about the world that you really want to live in. Your love is what will allow your body to rejuvenate in ways that might seem impossible to you now. Your love is what will assist everyone else to rise to a better place and a higher level.

Another very important thing to remember is that we are all in this evolution together and we will not reach our highest levels without everyone else. Our planet is ascending and our physical body is ascending. You are a Light Worker if you are reading this. You anchor light in yourself and share it with all those around you. The love you share is the light of God within you flowing outward like water from the heavens that nurtures and grows that which sustains us. Your love sustains your physical body and offers nurturance and growth to those around you in their personal journeys.

As we shift now into more sunlight coming into the Earth so to can you shift into letting go of those things that now longer serve you. It is an excellent time to let go of pain, suffering, grief, addictions, criticisms of yourself and others. It is also a time to open to what is new, what you have not seen with you eyes before. Open to marvelous things, awakenings, information, regeneration of cells and parts of your body that have not been functioning optimally and transformations of old patterns into a new and higher order.

Accept yourself where you are. Accept everything as it is and have faith and hope in a far brighter future for yourself and humanity. Trust in the guidance of your Higher-Self that comes to you through your heart, through your feelings and emotions. Take concrete steps to embrace more love into your life. Take concrete steps to do more things that nurture yourself and your body. Play and laugh more!

Take time to meditate daily even if it is only for a few minutes. Breathe in light to your heart and allow it to radiate outward with each breath surrounding you and everything around you. Do this often whenever you think about it. Make this a simple daily practice and watch your life improve and those around you become more healthy and happy as well.

Please love yourself, your physicality and those other humans around you (even those who you might feel do not deserve it!). We are on a grand journey and are on the homeward stretch of it. Wonderful and amazing things await you that will become physically manifest into your here and now reality. Please allow your love to flow freely from your heart and you will never lack.

Wishing You an Amazing New Year In Light, Love and Service as We Journey Forward Together,
Adama

What do you choose to Re-member each day?

The definition of the English word to “remember” is the cognitive process whereby past experience is brought back into the present. In remembering we continually put something back together again and again. In doing this we keep something from the past alive and present in our experience, our “here” and “now”. We re-member (put parts that are separate back into some kind of a memory, idea and possibly a story) our past often and usually it is done very unconsciously.

Scientific research shows that when we do this (re-member things) we build stronger and stronger pathways regarding whatever subject is continually being remembered. So, the more you think about something, the stronger it gets. It then often becomes a habit and can even become unconscious. Most of our lives are “run” by our unconscious… and this can be very helpful (Think of riding a bicycle and all the motions and movements that you automatically do) and also a cause of great suffering (reacting to things in the present moment with contraction and fear by automatically re-membering similar things from the past that were hurtful).

Pain is the sudden loss of someone you love.

Suffering is remembering it all the time.

So, yes your pain is real, as well as your suffering is very real!

And you have the power to focus your thoughts in a way that can either move you into thoughts and “feelings” that are uplifting or thoughts and “feelings” that cause you suffering. The important idea here is that you have a choice in this once you become conscious!

I know of few people who consciously wish to suffer. So, maybe we simply have some bad habits! The good news is that we are very smart (as evidenced by your reading this!) and we absolutely can change our habits through our point of focus and becoming more conscious. A habit is something we continue to do over and over again and it often becomes less and less conscious. A belief is also simply a thought we think over and over again and it often becomes less and less conscious and “taken for granted” or automatically assumed as “true”.

When you become conscious of your habits and beliefs that are causing you unnecessary suffering, through focus and attention you can change your neural pathways (the circuits in your brain that carry your re-membered thoughts) into stronger pathways that support your feelings of safety, joy, love, compassion, and healthy ways of reacting.

By doing simple daily meditations and being more conscious we can begin to “see” and “catch” those thoughts and beliefs that are causing us unnecessary suffering. Once we become more aware of them we can change them in ways that allow us to feel better and to function more wholly in the world. The help of a trained professional can assist us in this process of self-discovery. With the proper assistance we can become more easily aware of those things that are less consciously operating within ourselves. The Hakomi method of assisted self-discovery is one way of discovering and working to reduce unnecessary suffering.

Having assistance to work with illuminating and eliminating the energetic “structures” that we have created that support unnecessary suffering is something else that can be very helpful. Many of the sessions I offer address those energetic patterns and help to eliminate them without the need to even become consciously aware of them. The energetic roots of dysfunctional patterns can often be dissolved allowing for new ways of being and functioning that bring about or open the doors to more aliveness, peace, joy, happiness, creativity and love.

Change and growth can be achieved with more grace and ease than ever before. All the very powerful incoming energies of this time period in Earth’s history support our personal growth and transformation more than ever before. It is a joy and pleasure for me to assist others in their personal empowerment in whatever ways that might work best for each individual.

Wishing you much Love and Graceful Transformations

in this powerful time of growth and change!

A Treasure Chest of Experiences!

Most of you reading this have had many years of life experience that has helped you to come to this exact place and time where you are reading this particular message. I would also add that since you are reading this message, this particular message has something in it of value and importance to you or you would not have brought it into you life experience! So, with this in mind please see if you can find the jewels and possibly treasures contained below that can assist you in creating a better life during the challenging times we have chosen to be in right now.

We have each “lived” and experienced so much more than we usually are conscious of. Think about that for a moment, contemplate on it.

We have each “lived” and experienced so
much more than we usually are conscious of.

Can you imagine living different lifetimes in different times and places and all the experiences that they would offer to you? What if you were of a different gender than you currently find yourself or even of a race of beings that are not human? Such lifetimes would be like a gold mine waiting for you to unearth the riches contained, possibly buried in your unconscious and just waiting for you to excavate them. You have lived countless “lifetimes” filled with experiences, skills, abilities, qualities and talents waiting for you to remember them and embody them now. This treasure is really available to you here and now!

My invitation is for you to mine the riches you have accrued through lifetimes and let the sediment; those things that do not assist you lay dormant. Take back the jewels and treasure you have earned through lifetimes of hard work for your use here and now. This is your birthright, this is part of why you are here and now on Earth at this time, so you can each assist in your own unique and perfect way our united movement into something greater and grander than might be imagined.

There are multiple ways to recover the skills, abilities and attributes that we have earned through physical existences that are not of our current focused state we call this lifetime, this “now”. We can access them during the times we are sleeping and “dream” of having these things that seem lacking to us right now in our normal waking state. We can access them during meditation or through focused intent to remember and embody something specific we feel would be most helpful right now. They could be things like: vibrant health, clear thinking, the ability to discern truth better, having a more loving open heart, creative talents of expressions, more joy and happiness in living.

Here is a simple meditation that can assist you to unearth what you have forgotten and bring it into your day-to-day experience here and now.

1. Allow yourself to become quiet inside, breathing slowly and deeply.
2. Invite those non-physical beings that you feel connected to or whom you feel you would like to assist you. This could be Angles or spiritual teachers who are no longer physical. You could invite the beings of light who hold specific qualities that you would like to have around you to be with you like grace, joy, play, love, harmony and peace.
3. Imagine breathing in bright light, like sunshine on water, into the center of your heart and allowing it to expand throughout your body.
4. Breath this shinning light into your heart and let it expand all around your for at least 14 deep, slow breaths.
5. Specifically ask that you connect with and receive whatever it may be that you are specifically desiring to embody that seems missing from you current life and that you may have earned through living it in another “lifetime”. Say something like, “ I now ask that, Name whatever it is your are wanting to bring into your life, be awakened in my life for my use here and now.
6. Allow your mind to be quiet and be receptive to whatever may come to you. It could be pictures, thoughts, feelings or even nothing seemingly special. Please allow at least 10 minutes to be in this receptive state.
7. Give thanks for what you may have received and that you have activated the process to embody more of what is yours.

What is most important is to ask for what you want and then to let go of what you have asked for, knowing (or at least holding the hope and possibility) that you will receive your request.

Wishing you extraordinary treasure hunting!

Dreaming Your Life

Do you have a dream or dreams that you would like to experience in this lifetime? Have you put them away because someone told you they were impossible, impracticable, silly, unrealistic or some other words possibly thoughts that you bought into or agreed on as “true”?

Dreams are more than adventures we have when we are sleeping. Dreams are how we can envision our future.

Dreams tell the Universe how to put together all the things

necessary to bring your soul desires into physical reality.

Amazing things happen every day! Dreams come true every day for thousands of people (there are approximately 7 billion people in the world today). What allows some people’s dreams to become a reality and not others?

The Universe offers to you what you want. How does the Universe know what you want? Simply stated, the Universe “sees” and “hears” what you want by observing what YOU are focusing on. Your focus consists of your thoughts, feelings and the intensity of your emotions that are emanating from you at any point in time in the form of vibrations.

Your focus is seen and heard by the Universe and MATCHING vibrational manifestations automatically begin to appear in your life.

You can become more and more conscious of your thoughts, beliefs, feelings and those things you have the most emotional intensity about in a multitude of ways. Some ways work better for some people than others. Find what works best for you. Find the type of meditational practice that works for you. What helps you to become more aware and conscious? Find it and do it.

Once you are more aware of the vibrational signals you are sending out into the world, you can intentionally focus on those particular vibrational offerings that will tell the Universe to begin to manifest for you what you want! It really is as simple as that.

The more challenging part is letting go of those behaviors, patterns of thought and thinking, emotional responses and ways of being in the world you have learned that no longer serve you. Some people can do this by themselves. Most of us can use the help of friends and even trained professionals to assist us in clearing or discovering what is operating (like the operating system of a very sophisticated computer) below our usual awareness. When we become more conscious of what is operating less consciously and stop doing those things that no longer serve us or simply release them, the Universe can much more easily offer to us the fulfillment of our dreams.

So, what are you doing that continually tells the Universe to bring to you less than optimal physical manifestations? It is often not necessary to identify all the “whys” or ways you are not allowing your dreams to easily manifest. You can simply change your vibrational output into one that matches what you are desiring.

Do you want more love in your life? Tell the Universe to bring you more love by shifting and changing your vibrational output into one that is more peaceful and loving!

Do you want more money and resources in your life? Tell the Universe to bring you more money and resources by shifting and changing your vibrational output into one that celebrates and rejoices in what you do have and what others have!

Let go of trying to get everything around you to work the way you want it to (the people places and things) in any other way than shifting and changing your own vibrational output.

Send out the vibration, here and now, of what it is you want more of.

Focus on those things that bring you peace, joy, health, happiness, clarity, creativity, fun, enthusiasm and love. Learn to quickly shift your vibrational output when you realize what you are currently sending out is not assisting you to move in the direction you really want. Tell the Universe what it is you want more of by your vibrational offering.

This is your power and ability to create!

Please take the time to focus in a more conscious and clear way. The more you do this the more the Universe will bring you amazing co-incidences, little and big miracles and you will see your dreams manifesting in surprising and often unexpected ways!

In Light, Love & Service,

Adama

Planting Joy, Sweetness, Love and Kindness

Creating and Manifesting

I once heard of a study that was done in New York in multiple schools. The kids were asked where did milk come from. The majority said from the store! I can think of other things like this. Picture in your mind a beautiful silk kimono. It is very hard to see and imagine that it came from the silk that a little worm-like creature spits out through its mouth. The majority of the fruit from the store you buy might be very difficult to place on the type of plant, bush or tree it comes off of by looking at the fruit alone without any prior knowledge of the tree or bush that it is grown from.

In the same way when you look at the "fruit" of the seeds you may have planted and blame a bitter fruit itself for its taste without taking into account the whole process that brought you the “bitter” fruit, you are missing something very important. This later manifestation of what you have previously planted is the fruit of your seeds and prior planting. It is a less than thoughtful position to take to say there is nothing you can do about it, that you have no control over it; this bitter tasting fruit just happened to you!

This rationale is missing something essential in the logic being used. The end result is being blamed for what was planted long ago. You can change the fruit you get in the future by paying attention to what you are planting each day and in every moment.

The physical manifestation, the situation that has manifested, the person we love or are in conflict with, the events themselves are what we almost always blame for eliciting this or that mood and reaction that we are currently experiencing. It is like driving a car on a long road trip and when it runs out of gas calling the car a piece of junk, a bad thing and blaming it for no longer working the way you want it to. Looking at it this way seems rather foolish, doesn’t it?

You can blame the car or find a way to get some more gas and continue the trip you were on. So, as long as you are focused on the present situation that you are unhappy with and blaming that situation, finding all the reasons why that situation is so bad, unchangeable, not your fault and obviously something you have no control over or about, you give the Universe no choice but to offer you more of the same. The “same” is the current vibration you are holding and by doing this you are asking the Universe to give you more of it.

Like attracts like.

If you like where you are at and the physical manifestations you are generating and attracting keep doing the same things. If you do not like them then start to change your vibration so the Universe can offer you more pleasing manifestations into you life. It really is simple at the most basic levels. You can believe this or not, it does not matter. You will get what you focus and place your energy and attention on in the physical manifestations around you. This is your strength and power.

You came here to earth to create and experience. You can do this consciously or unconsciously. You can create in ways that are pleasing to you or not. It is your choice through the vibrations you are holding.

Your feelings help to guide you toward higher vibrations by letting you know how your choices align or do not align with your Higher-Self (the greater non-physical part of yourself) who always chooses the higher vibratory positioning. When you feel pain it is the difference in the human part of you here (on Earth) not going with what your Higher-Self has already chosen and “become” in an energetic way. Your Higher-Self is actually the larger part of you. It is the larger part of you that is non-physical. The pain you feel is YOU resisting the movement to your higher vibration that is being held by the larger part of you (the Higher-Self).

The pain you are feeling is really only the difference between the current vibration you are holding (the free will you have) and the current vibration that your Higher-Self is holding (always the highest most loving positioning). What we usually blame for how we are “feeling” (person, situation or thing) is really not what is causing our disease. It is our personal lack of alignment with our Higher-Self. This is what causes us pain and a feeling of being torn apart and often a feeling of separation.

So, by making choices that even “feel” slightly better to you than your current state and continuing to move in the feeling direction that brings relief and better feelings you can raise your vibration higher. The higher the vibration you are consistently holding the more pleasing your physical manifestations will become for you. One small step at a time you can move forward into something new and more and more pleasing. Only you have the power and ability to do the real lasting focus that allows all that you want to effortlessly to come into your life.

My mind is my garden,
Thoughts are my seeds,
Shall I plant flowers or weeds?

I do believe the choice is yours!
Will you join me in planting those things now that will bring you a harvest that pleases you?
Will you plant sweet things, loving and kind things?
You can plant whatever you want now with your thoughts!
Why not plant joy, sweetness, love and kindness?

In Light, Love & Service,
Adama
