			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How to Raise your Vibration is a similar  question to:<br />
- How to connect to Source<br />
- <a href="http://www.spiritualcookie.com/how-to-feel-any-desired-feeling-according-to-abraham-hicks/">How to feel a desired feel-good feeling</a><br />
- And <a href="http://www.spiritualcookie.com/abraham-hicks-how-to-get-into-the-receiving-mode-or-a-state-of-allowing/">How to get into the Receiving Mode or State of Allowing</a></p>
<p>I just listened to <a href="&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myyJ_2EZky0">this great Abraham Hicks recording</a> about how to raise your vibration and thought I&#8217;d sum up the take-home method here:</p>
<p><strong><br />
1.) Acknowledge to yourself that you have the power to change your vibration</strong><br />
You can do this by making affirming Statements of your power:<br />
- My vibration is indicated to me by the emotions that I feel to help me know when it&#8217;s time to work on raising my vibration.<br />
- The non-ideal vibration I&#8217;m on right now is not a big deal because<br />
- I have control over my vibration; I can change this vibration any time I want.<br />
- My vibration is controlled by the thoughts I think.<br />
My vibration is effected by my focus.<br />
- Yes, it&#8217;s a gradual process to change my vibration, but it&#8217;s alright, I&#8217;m on my way to raising my vibration. Seeing progress (via the things I interact with and manifest) is fun.</p>
<p><strong>2.) Make the intention to put your focus on thoughts and things more deliberately.</strong></p>
<p><strong>3.) Slow down momentum on negative thoughts when they come up </strong>by:<br />
- introducing soothing thoughts<br />
- Don&#8217;t engage in conversations about things you want to inactivate. If you hear others talking about it, don&#8217;t join in.<br />
- lack of attention to negative thoughts (eg stop talking about what you dont want) and pivoting to other things.<br />
- When you catch yourself going a negative thought and catch it &#8211; appreciate the catching with thoughts like &#8220;I&#8217;m getting better at this deliberate thinking thing! I&#8217;m slowing down momentum on things I dont want better and better.&#8221;<br />
- Be easy with yourself if you catch yourself thinking something you dont want to think. (Being mad at yourself / resisting doesnt help &#8211; it makes things worse). Be kind, understanding, soothing to yourself.</p>
<p><strong>4.) Try to pay attention to feel-good moments &#8211; notice them more, then milk them<br />
</strong>Rather than MAKING yourself feel better (which is efforting) &#8211; it may be easier to wait till a moment when you do feel better and milk it.<br />
When you find yourself feeling good (which happens every day for at least a moment) &#8211; then be aware when you&#8217;re having one of those moments, and then milk it. Milking a positive vibration is practising that vibration. And the more you practice it , the easier it is to sustain it.<br />
Example of a way to milk a positie moment: explain to yourself why it feels good.<br />
eg I think I&#8217;m feeling good because my chair is so comfy, and the air is so warm and pleasant, and I&#8217;m feeling comfortable in my body; my stomach is satisfied to just the right amount, and i have pretty things around me &#8211; see how pretty object X is? and see how great object Y is? etc etc<br />
Practice this feeling to know it thoroughly.</p>
<p><strong>5.) Reach for better feeling thoughts:</strong><br />
- Thoughts of appreciation &#8211; milking the positive things in the world around you<br />
- Thoughts of wanted things<br />
- Memories of good times you&#8217;ve had in the past<br />
- Hold focus on a positive word.<br />
- Hold focus on a positive feeling eg Ease, Appreciation<br />
- Thoughts of eagerness for what&#8217;s to come: eg<br />
I&#8217;m eager to see what inspiration will come when my vibration riases; i&#8217;m eager to line up with what source thinks &#8211; curious to know what it thinks! i&#8217;m eager to see what interactions and manifestations i&#8217;ll have when my vibration raises<br />
- Thoughts that activate new beliefs that serve you</p>
<p>(Related to the previous point)<br />
<strong>6.) Use positive intentions &#038; affirmations if you resonate with them</strong><br />
- eg &#8220;wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if&#8230;&#8221;<br />
- eg Affirmations for connecting with Source and with the fullness that is you, like:<br />
<em>&#8220;I want to know the fullness of who I am.<br />
So, guide me closer in any step today, to a fuller recognition<br />
of what I´ve been asking for, and who I really am.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>7.) Put your focus on positive things by engaging in activities that feel good</strong> and automatically make it easier to make your vibration softer and better-feeling.<br />
Spend time doing things that raise your vibration:<br />
- pet your dog<br />
- go for a walk in nature<br />
- take a soothing shower or bath<br />
- do things that soften your vibration and raise it; take you to a softer place -<br />
All these help the feel-good vibration gather momentum.</p>
<p><strong>8.) Use Meditation to gather positive momentum:</strong><br />
Once you&#8217;ve taken a few steps to get onto a slightly better feeling disc / vibration, use meditation to anchor that feeling for longer to help you stay on that disc for longer and to help that better-feeling-vibration gain momentum.<br />
The more momentum the better-feeling vibration has, the more the details will fill in &#8211; the more inspiration will come. The better it gets, the better it gets.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All that many of us want is to just feel good and be happy. Here are some ideas that have helped me and continue to help me.</p>
<p>1) Be aware of your thoughts and how you feel now. We always have the power to focus our thoughts and change them if necessary. In addition, our emotions are our very reliable <em>guidance system</em> that clearly indicates to us how we feel.</p>
<p>2) If you don’t feel good, change what you’re thinking about. Focus only on <em>what you want</em> and check that you feel good.<span id="more-765"></span></p>
<p>3) If you’re not feeling good, you’re probably focused on NOT HAVING what you want, so refocus on something that feels better.</p>
<p>4) How you feel NOW is what is most important. Whether you are focused on the past or the future, you’re thinking about it<em> now</em>, so let it feel good.</p>
<p>5) How we feel now, in the present moment determines whether we are happy or not, and will or won’t pre-pave our future as we desire it to be. So ensure you feel good as often as possible. A person who feels good and is happy, is inevitably a healthy person. They also get what they want in life.</p>
<p>6) The way the Law of Attraction works, is that things of a similar nature are drawn to each other. <em>Like will attract like</em>. Whether you’re focused on something positive or something negative, you will attract whatever you are giving your attention to. The Law of Attraction is an inclusive Law and this means you get what you most focus on, be it positive or negative.</p>
<p>7) Many people think they are positively focused when actually they are negatively focused. Everything has two sides: 1) things you want and 2) things you don’t yet have but want. The Law of Attraction is 100% consistent and will always deliver what you are most focused on and feeling the most strongly about.</p>
<p>8) If you think about not feeling happy and wish you were happy, you’re drawing more unhappiness to yourself because you’re focused on what you don’t yet have. Thinking like this does not feel good and when you don’t feel good, the message your emotions is giving you is that you’re not on the right track to happiness yet.</p>
<p>If, however you feel happy about what you’re thinking and want more things to feel happier, you are then attracting more happiness to you. The positive feeling feedback from your emotions indicates that you’re on the right track to continue feeling happy.</p>
<p>9) Look for the best qualities, the good and the beauty in all people, places and things.</p>
<p>10) Make feeling good your priority in life. Make your mantra a positive one: to strive to feel happy no matter where you are, what you’re doing or who you’re talking with. When you feel good, you’ll attract positive experiences into your life.</p>
<p>11) Focus on the best aspects and qualities of yourself. Expand on them and appreciate them and yourself.</p>
<p>12) Surround yourself with people you love and who are positive and happy.</p>
<p>13) Go to places you enjoy that make you feel happy.</p>
<p>14) Speak of things that make you feel good. If they don’t, change the subject or remove yourself from the situation. Make a point of not discussing problems and issues that don’t feel good.</p>
<p>15) Be discerning about what you listen to and watch on the radio, on TV and generally in life. You can’t feel good if you listen to bad news, sad music or angry rants. Choose uplifting and inspiring things to tune in to that make you feel good.</p>
<p>16) Go out of your way to appreciate things just for the sake of feeling good when you think about them. This helps raise your vibration. Appreciation and love are very close in vibration and will engender good feeling, happiness and joy.</p>
<p>17) Life is meant to feel happy and because you are the creator of your own reality, you have the power to give yourself the happy life you desire. Appreciate who you are just because you exist. There is no-one in the world exactly like you. You are totally unique.</p>
<p>18) You were born to experience a happy and joyous life, to feel free and to experience a life of great variety and contrast that would help you grow and expand. These are the purposes of your life. You can be, do, or have anything you wish.</p>
<p>19) Follow your own gut feelings/intuition or instincts. Trust yourself. Other people can’t feel what you feel or think as you do. They can’t know what’s good for you. Don’t ask them because they can only give you feedback from their own perspective. Their viewpoint may have no bearing on how you really feel and can only be appropriate as they <em>perceive</em> you and not necessarily as you <em>really are</em>.</p>
<p>20) Always reach for the next-best-feeling thing you can manage. If you’re depressed, it’s a quantum leap to expect yourself to be happy in a flash, so work your way up, bit by bit to things that feel better.</p>
<p>21) Be kind and loving to yourself. Be easy on yourself. Talk positively to yourself.</p>
<p>22) If you have a physical condition that you don’t want, look for the moments when you do feel better, however slight they may be. You can be sick and have a positive attitude or you can be sick and have a negative attitude. Notice how you’re focused and do the best you can to be as positive as you can. Being sick and hopeful is better than being sick and being in despair or in fear or feeling sorry for yourself.</p>
<p>23) All negative emotions can be seen as messengers that tell you you’ve gone off track and can now refocus your thoughts to those that feel better. Our emotions always are reliable indicators as to where we’re focused. The good thing also is that we have the ability to choose to change our thoughts at any time.</p>
<p>24) You have all you need within you and are powerful creators of your own reality. You can give yourself the life you want at any time and the Law of Attraction will always be there to assist you. Just check you’re focused on what you want that feels good as you think it.</p>
