The Vortex of Creation

If you're familiar with the law-of-attraction chances are you've listened to Abraham-Hicks (the channeling of Source energy by Esther Hicks). One of the most profound concepts introduced by Abraham is the Vortex. The Vortex describes an energetic and emotional state that attracts all-you-desire like a powerful vacuum.

Every ambitious, high-achiever can benefit from a thorough understanding of this concept as it represents a belief that allows you to create success without struggle.

The Vortex represents alignment with Source energy.

This is one of the most powerful concepts available to human understanding and the key to being satisfied with your personal and professional life. Adopting perspectives that support satisfaction and gratitude allows us to enjoy what we have NOW while we continue to create more of what we love.

Basically, being in the vortex means you’re feeling joyful and at peace with what you have, and who you are. It's the equivalent of feeling happy, fabulous and confident. It stands for being in alignment with everything in life that you appreciate and enjoy right now.

YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO ENJOY AND APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE AND WHO YOU ARE RIGHT NOW. In fact, that more you focus on thoughts of appreciation, the more that the Law of Attraction works in you favor to bring more situations and opportunities that elicit a continuation of similar feelings. The better it gets, the better it gets.

You are in the Vortex when you are experiencing loving thoughts that inspire happiness, exuberance, excitement and appreciation.

Being out of the vortex means you’re energetically down in the dumps, feeling frustrated, hopeless, fearful or angry.

Here’s Abraham defining the Vortex in 2009:

A Vortex is a vibrational state of being that is a precursor of all positive motion forward of all that is. It’s like, encapsulated, condensed, straight-up Source. It’s pure positive energy. It’s the holding tank. It’s the anchor. It’s the touchstone. It’s the place where all dreams and wishes and hopes are held until we find vibrational alignment with them. It’s the eternal pool of well-being to which each of us have added mightily along the path of our physical experience.

- Abraham-Hicks, San Diego, California on 9/19/2009

The reason you want to be IN the vortex is because it feels good. The reason we want things (better clothes, more expensive shoes, nicer cars, bigger houses) and the reason we aim to achieve more accomplishments, gain more recognition, more prestige, etc - is to achieve an emotional state of feeling good. So the end result is truly to feel good.

According to the Law of Attraction, emotional states attract more of the same emotional states. We attract what we embody. We attract our energetic vibration. So feeling good NOW allows us to create more circumstances that continue to allow us to feel good in the future.

Being in the Vortex means you’re experiencing the kind of alignment that creates magic and miracles. It’s where you get inspired answers to your questions. It’s where things come together beautifully. It’s where you feel on top of the world!

You can tell whether you’re in or out of the vortex based on how you feel.

When you feel good, you’re in the Vortex. When you feel crappy, you’re not.

The vortex is also where you want to take action from. That “aligned” state is a great time to make phone calls, answer emails and texts, place orders, sign contracts, say “I do,” create business strategies...you get the idea.

When you take action outside of the vortex, your actions are not as likely to pan out as favorably. So getting into the Vortex is important if you're aiming to live a life of success, ease and flow.

So you may be wondering: “How do I get into the Vortex and stay there?” You may want to ask yourself what am I doing to take myself out?

As soon as you catch yourself in a mindset or emotional state that takes you out of alignment: worrying, focusing on what isn't working, feeling resentful, doubtful, fearful...if we're blaming, judging, or complaining - pause, take a breath and choose a thought that feels better. Get the stuck energy or emotion out of your body. And re-focus on what is going well in your life right now.

Getting in the Vortex is a lot less complicated than we sometimes realize.

That's why it’s a concept that is often overlooked and under-practiced.

As you aim to get into the Vortex you may run into limiting beliefs you picked up from childhood. For example, believing we have no choice but to work hard and sacrifice for the good things in life. That the good only comes from blood, sweat and tears.

Many of us grow up with parents/caregivers that pass these types of beliefs onto us. If you notice yourself feeling resistant to the concept of the Vortex, if you catch yourself arguing with the idea of attracting good by feeling good - congratulations - you are on you way to changing your limiting beliefs.

The only beliefs that can't be changed are the ones we refuse to acknowledge. By simply recognizing your discomfort or disbelief, you are taking a powerful first step in altering your perspective. The beauty of being an adult, who is also a powerful creator/creatrix, is that you are allowed to believe and choose thoughts that support your best interest.

Our beliefs create our reality because they shape our perspective of how life unfolds. Beliefs are simply thoughts that we keep thinking. We can change our reality by changing the thoughts we repeatedly think.

Begin each day by focusing on what is working well for you. Catch yourself as you slip into a negative state and gently redirect your thoughts and emotions until you feel good again. Acknowledge emotions and thoughts as they arise. Lovingly redirect your attention to what is good right NOW. The more we live and love the present moment, the more good we attract.

Living in the Vortex not only feels good NOW, it allows us to continue to attract people, places and things that perpetuate the emotion of appreciation.

Meditation is a powerful way to stay connected to the now. For a variety of guided meditations designed to help you release limiting beliefs that could be preventing you from enjoying your Vortex, check out the Mind Body Soul Reset.
