A quick trip into your vortex
When we suggest that you get into your vortex, many of you know exactly what we mean.
And many of you don’t.
We know we aren’t the only ones who talk about the importance of your vortex (which is simply the energetic relationship between you and You), but we do think we put a bit of an unusual twist on things by suggesting that you get in there and that you work things out in there by allowing yourself to be kicked out, doing so deliberately.
So, how exactly, are you to do this, you might ask us.
Well, it’s quite simple, really.
You can begin by finding a quiet place. We don’t necessarily mean a quiet place in terms of no noise or distraction happening out in the physical world around you. Rather, we mean finding a quiet place inside of you.
It doesn’t have to be perfectly quiet. It just needs to be quiet enough so you can hear yourself think.
And, as you are doing so, begin to deliberately think thoughts.
By this we mean, start talking to yourself in whatever way makes sense to you and direct your thoughts.
You can do this sternly, you can do this gently, you can do this with great enthusiasm, or you can do this with detachment.
It doesn’t really matter.
The key here is to begin to be the director of your thinking as opposed to the audience observing your thoughts.
And, as you begin to direct your thoughts, pay attention to the feelings that arise. Follow the thoughts, and direct more of them, that feel better. Move on away from thoughts that don’t feel better.
Try not to judge your thoughts and the feelings that arise. But do try to direct them.
By directing them, paying attention to improving vibrations (i.e., you feel better), and then cultivating the better-feeling thoughts in this way, you are headed straight into your vortex.
You will know you are in your vortex because you will have a decidedly more open and allowing view of whatever your observing, externally or internally.
You will know you are in your vortex because you may laugh, or even just sigh, from a place of increasing contentment and a sense that all is right with things as they are.
You will know you are in your vortex because you are feeling hopeful, in general, and that feeling is improving.
Now, sit with all that for a minute or so. Try out your new perspective by looking around a bit and amplifying any good-feeling thought as it comes to you.
After you feel comfortably there, bring a thorny issue to mind.
The important thing here is to watch what happens. Most likely (although not certainly), you will be kicked out of your vortex. And that’s good! That means that you internal guidance system is working perfectly.
Now we suggest that you go back and find your way back into your vortex. Repeat the steps above until you feel very much there and satisfied with the effort you’ve made to get there with your directed thoughts.
Bring up your thorny issue again. Watch what happens. You will probably be thrown out of your vortex again. But not quite so strongly as before. Nor with quick as much intensity.
Go back and find your way back into your vortex. Repeat this until it no longer feels better to do so or until the thorny issue is no longer thorny.
There is no contest here. You need not work hard at it. Just relax into the possibilities that this process offers and see what you want from it.
You might also benefit from reading about our other process for getting into your vortex. However you do it, of course, is just perfect.
As with all our suggestions, just try it out and see what works for you and what doesn’t.
Most of all, take what we offer, if you will, and make it your own.
Adapt and change and update and modify until you have just the perfectly delicious thing for you right in that powerful now moment when you use it.
Isn’t that wonderful?
We’ve just released a Getting Into Your Vortex meditation CD based on what Paul wrote above. It’s pretty amazing and I think you’ll like it quite a bit!
