I have been feeling free of a lot of my old complaints lately. I used to blame life a lot more than I would have admitted at the time. “I don’t have enough hours in the day” has been a long-standing focus of mine. It’s still true. I need more hours in the day to do everything I want to do all at once! But I now tell myself a better-feeling story: “I have so much that I love doing that I could fill more hours in the day and never be bored.”
True story. Same story. The first version makes me feel a vibration of lack. The second makes me feel passionate and joyful. Guess which one attracts better? You already know – the better feeling version of “reality” always attracts better. Ever since I changed the story of my relationship with time, I’ve had a steady stream of inspiring ideas and the support to accomplish them flowing into my life. I pick the most fun one in my spare time, run with it, learn, and enjoy the journey. I no longer feel lack. I feel passionate.
The same story is true for my body. For years I focused on the conditions I created. Lately, I’ve been focusing on how vital and strong my body is, how resilient it has been, how grateful I am for its remarkable ability to recreate itself, etc. As a result, all sorts of old complaints are just leaving. I had some old skin cancer pop up and disappear in three days last week. I wasn’t in a vibration to support it any longer, so it had to come up and out! I also got tired of telling the same old story about my vision worsening, so I changed the story, and one day, my neck realigned, and my vision improved. I just had to stop tuning into the problem.
Likewise, I recently had many surprising expenses occur all at once. In the past, I would have freaked out. Now I give thanks in advance for all I have, whether I have it now or not. All’s well. It always is and will be with that focus. Life flows.
So when the angels say we’re free to tune into what we wish, they mean it. It takes practice to stop looking at the reality in front of us if it doesn’t make us feel good. I used to joke that I was “alligator wrestling” with my mind to tune into something better! Nonetheless, a better thought gives a better feeling, which causes a better vibration and, ultimately, a better life!
Now that’s what I call freedom!
Here are a few ways to play with your vibrational freedom:
1. Think about how much you love someone in spirit
Pick someone you love in spirit—someone you know or admire who is now in the heavens. Instead of focusing on them being gone, or the grief, do your best to focus on what you love about them. Think about the happy memories, the laughter, their good qualities, etc. When sad thoughts come in, try to shift to happier memories. See if you can do this for a week. If you can, you will raise your vibration to meet them on their new frequency of joy. Instead of feeling their absence so acutely, you will begin to perceive their presence.
2. Fantasize about your favorite vacation idea
Either think of a vacation you had or one you’d love. Don’t focus on logistics – how, when, with whom, etc. Focus instead on the wonderful feelings of being where you want to be. Imagine. Dream. Feel. Then notice what starts to show up for you. You may begin to see travel ads, images online, and maybe even opportunities. I have known many people who manifested free trips this way or opportunities they didn’t think they could afford. Just have fun with your own thoughts enough to raise your vibe to match your vacation vibe!
3. “Try on” new thoughts
There’s plenty going on that we don’t enjoy. Next time you catch yourself focusing on a problem or an undesirable situation. Stop. Make up a story about how you get where you want to be or how the world will be in the future. Dream about your miracles. Imagine the best. “Try on” your thoughts like clothing “until you find some you like” and stay there. Notice the ideas that start to arrive the more you do this. Don’t look for ideas. Just look for good feelings and see what shows up.
It is better to convince yourself that the vibrational universe is real by actually playing with these principles. I started small. I imagined a fountain pen I couldn’t afford. I found a knockoff on sale for under $10 the following week. I got full of myself and imagined an antique writing desk. Within a month, while driving through an unfamiliar section of town, I saw a fun-looking store, followed the urge to stop, and found my antique desk for under $30. When I had a big, bad lump show up, I imagined it was burning up in the light within three days and thought no other thought other than imagining the triumphant feeling, and it disappeared.
As we exercise our freedom to use our minds as the tool we intended them to be, we learn how to use them to facilitate our freedom rather than allowing our pre-conditioned thoughts to enslave us.
