Closing the Gap Between Where You Are and Where You Want to Be!

shows itself in the emotions of joy and empowerment and love…….when

we are joyful and feeling empowered we are accessing Source energy.

When we are in low vibrational energy, we are experiencing emotions of

depression or grief or despair. These emotions are so far from who we really

are (extensions of Source energy), that they feel bad and constricting to us.

These emotions feel like we are suffocating and can hardly breathe. This is

Source’s way of letting us know that we are going in the wrong direction to

our own happiness.

It is so simple really…..when we feel good we are in Source energy, and

when we feel bad and constricted we are not in this energy, in fact we are

working against this energy. Our emotions, which are attached to thoughts,

are our guidance system. This emotional guidance system is always letting

us know if we are moving towards or away from our happiness.

And so, whatever one chooses to do, the only question to ask is “will this

make me happy?” Because when we choose things that please us, we access

the emotions of pleasure or joy or happiness and we are moving in the

direction of Source energy.

Source, this magnificent ever-powerful energy…… that we are all

extensions of……. “WANTS” our happiness. We were born to be

expansions of joy and love. This is our birthright……This universe that we

chose to come forth into is supposed to be fun……..

The Law of Attraction states that what we think about and feel about

…….we bring about…… this amazing power allows us to choose what we

want and bring it into manifestation through our vibration of desiring it…….

When we are in alignment with this desire….this WANTING……meaning,

when we know for certain what we want and we imagine that we have it and

we get into the vibration of joy and knowing around it……it must and will

manifest into our physical reality. This is the Law of Attraction.

There are three steps to this manifestation

1.) Ask for what you want. (this is your job)

2.) The answer is given (this is the universe’s job)

3.) Allow it to come forth (this is your job). This state of allowing is

being in the state of joy and love……it will come to you through this

high vibration.

One can get a fuller understanding of this Law by reading any of Jerry and

Esther Hick’s work. Four that I recommend are the two books “The Law of

Attraction” and “Ask And It Shall Be Given”…….and two DVD’s “The

Law of Attraction in Action: Part 1 and Part 2. From all that I have read on

the Law of Attraction, it seems that, Abraham, as expressed through Jerry

and Esther are the teachers of the teachers of the Law of Attraction.

For several years now, I have been practicing a form of therapy/ healing/

teaching (whichever term most resonates with you) called The Journey or

Journey work. The title, was coined by Brandon Bays. In her early 40’s,

Brandon was diagnosed with a very large tumor in her abdomen, that was

crushing her vital organs. When she was diagnosed, her doctors gave her a 2

month, window of time, before the tumor must be removed, in order to save

her life. Brandon put out a fierce prayer or “asking” to be restored to perfect

health…and she then went about getting access to a peacefulness inside of

her…….putting herself into alignment with her desire…….whereby she was

able to hear the answer to her prayer. She was given the “how” to release

this tumor. In 6 weeks time her tumor was gone.

She has subsequently been teaching this “how” that she discovered, all over

the world. And her book entitled “The Journey” is a must read for all

interested in wellness.

I feel deeply blessed to have discovered this work…….. at a time when I

needed it badly. I was in a state of depression, that I did not know how to get

out of and none of the people that I went to for help, knew what to do to help

me either. I, like Brandon, put out a fierce prayer to be restored to the

vibrant soul, I was……..and as always, it happens (it is Law)…. I was led to

the book Brandon wrote about her experience. In this book, Brandon

explains what she did to release her tumor…….After one session, with a

Journey practitioner, my depression lifted, and three sessions later, I let go of

the medication that I had been on for several years.

With the knowing, that, anything that heals someone, must be in alignment

with Source energy and what is now becoming more known “The Law of

Attraction.” ……….. it has become important to me to understand how the

Law of Attraction is at work in the use of Journey process work.

……..because anything that works (makes people feel better or get well) has

to be in this alignment.

How I see Journey work in relation to the Law of Attraction is that Journey

work helps us clean up the negative vibration that is stopping us from

accessing “Source.” It helps one, bring into awareness, emotions that are out

of alignment with Source energy i.e. negative, bad or constrictive emotions

and discover what thoughts are activating these emotions. These thoughts

are often past negative memories, whereby the emotions attached are

vibrating in the body creating distress or disease of some sort or other…….

Journey work teaches one to sit with the negative emotion, until the thought

attached to it, comes clear……..most of the time people are so eager to stop

feeling bad that they will not sit in the constricted/bad feeling for long, it is

too uncomfortable. A person will often try to medicate or soothe these

feelings with anything that helps them feel better i.e. alcohol, shopping,

eating, drugs, loud music etc. ……and while this is a temporary solution, in

the long term, it does not put a stop to the negative emotions we are feeling.

Once the thought (event) of what is bothering a person comes forth, there is

a simple Journey process that helps release this constricted emotion, attached

to this past event, and then transform this past negative event into a positive

event…..thus bringing the body back into alignment with Source

energy……restoring one to a state of well-being.

These past events will only affect us if the emotions attached to them are

activated, otherwise, they are not in our vibration. Often events in the

present will remind us of a past event and will activate the vibration (in the

form of negative emotion) of what this past event felt like. Once this thought

is activated, distress occurs in the form of constricted or negative emotions.

A personal example of this is the memory, that, when cleared, lifted my long

standing depression. In this memory, I was in my mother’s womb. My

mother was born Irish Catholic and when she was 20 and single, she was

pregnant with me. In those days, this was not acceptable and in fact she was

shunned and sent away from her home to have her baby (me). All of the

emotions that she was feeling at the time of course affected me and it was

when my husband of many years, died of cancer, that this memory became

activated. I was extremely vulnerable at the time and this unknown activated

memory caused me great despair and I did not know what was happening to

me. I had never felt such long-standing despair/grief/sadness before. Deep

inside of me, I knew that something unusual had happened and I had no idea

how to help myself, even though I was a trained psychologist/therapist.

Now, when I initially went to a Journey practitioner and became aware of

this activated memory and cleared it, I became so excited and hopeful. I

realized that if I could clear a memory from as far back as in the womb, then

healing for the entire planet was possible. At the time, I was working with

many troubled teens and began to use Journey work in my sessions with

them, with the same astounding results.

How disease manifests, i.e. Cancer or asthma or MS or depression or

anything, is that we are not paying attention to our thoughts (past or present

events) and our emotions and we are allowing negative emotions, attached to

negative thoughts, to become the dominant event in our vibration. One

cannot possibly manifest cancer, without having been in a low emotional

vibration over a long period of time. It may seem like a tumor or other

disease, came out of the blue and this is not the case. It has been “being

manifested” for quite a while. Brandon, in her book, speaks of this when she

talks about the memory that she cleared that lifted her tumor………she said

“I finally let go of decades of blame.” Journey work helps us bring into

awareness these activated negative thoughts.

Once we clean up our vibration around these past or “anticipated future”

events, then, our body becomes restored to improved health and wellness.

And it can be very quick, as in the case of Brandon’s tumor and my

depression.

This is the way the Law of Attraction works. When we become aware of and

change the negative emotions we are feeling that are attached to negative

thoughts……..and then change these thoughts to ones of a higher emotional

vibration (ie. Positive thought attached to positive emotion), it is the Law of

Attraction that states well-being will be restored. When we are in Source

energy, which is positive emotional vibration, we are in a state of well-being

or on our way to well-being.

Journey work, very quickly, helps us access “Source energy” this love and

joy that we all came from. We feel good when we are in Source energy

because this is our true nature. This is where we have all come from.

When Journey work is taught in conjunction with the Law of Attraction, it

then gives us a framework and a method to keep ourselves in Source, most,

or ultimately all of the time. I have discovered that Journey work is greatly

enhanced with the knowledge of the Law of Attraction.

It is the constant attention to the desire to “feel good” that is the key to all

wellness. When we feel good, we are in this stream of wellness or Source

energy that is the key to happiness. And when we feel bad, we are moving

towards that which we do not want. When we turn our attention to feeling

good, soon we will, more often than not, be hanging out in the emotions that

make us feel good…….like enthusiasm and passion and joy. And it is from

this feeling state, that all manifestation of our desires comes forth into

physical form. Until then, Source is waiting for us to get into alignment with

it, coaxing us moment by moment (if we are listening) towards what we are

“WANTING.”

Jerry and Esther Hicks in their book “Ask And It Is Given” provide an

understanding of what they call “our emotional guidance system”………this

system can always give us an indication of where we are at, in relation to

“source energy.” They also explain that this can vary and what is most

important to understand is which emotions feel better than the other. For

example, on this emotional scale, depression, grief and powerlessness are at

the bottom of the scale……..insecurity and guilt is next…….jealousy

next…….hatred and rage next…….revenge next…….then

anger…….discouragement…….blame……worry…..doubt…..

disappointment…….overwhelment………frustration and

impatience……..boredom…….contentment…..hopefulness…..optimism….

positive expectation…enthusiasm, eagerness and happiness……….

passion…….and at the top of the scale is joy, knowledge, empowerment,

freedom and love.

Now, the importance of knowing this scale is to understand that each level

going upward into freedom and love, feels better. For example, anger feels

better than depression…….and blame feels better than anger……..and

frustration feels better than blame etc.

There is a component during a Journey process called the Campfire, that

helps one move up this emotional scale. In doing Journey work, what I find

is that a person who has hung out in depression for a long time, by activating

depressing thoughts over and over again, ……..will feel better after a

Journey Process and will most of the time, do so, only temporarily, if not

encouraged to be faithful to regular Journey work. In addition, if one learns

the Law of Attraction, the learning becomes most potent because one learns

to break the habit of thinking negative thoughts.

This too, I can speak from experience. Even though that one memory of

being in my mother’s womb is what cleared the worst of my depression, it

was my consistent faithfulness to clearing anything negative that came up,

that resulted in my moving in a step by step way up this emotional

scale…….cleaning up my vibration even more with each Journey that I did.

What I discovered is that I had many many memories that were contributing

to my distress and each of them was part of my overall sense of unwellness.

And in my studies with Brandon, she speaks of doing regular Journey work

at least once a week…..

In other words, it is too big a leap to go from depression into joy and love

and stay there for very long. With one Journey Process, we will go into this

higher vibration and it will be only temporary, if we do not understand that it

has been these activated negative emotions, attached to habitual negative

thoughts, that keep us going backwards down the emotional scale. With

regular Journey work, one can continually move into a higher and higher

vibration.

Many people think that they do not have the ability to change their thoughts

and emotions. What is really true is that most of us have become so used to

thinking negatively, that we think this is normal……..we know that this kind

of thinking feels bad and we do not know how to change it. In other words

we have become accustomed to “sloppy thinking.”

If we tend to our emotions and when they are negative, look at the thoughts

attached and then immediately reach for a better feeling thought …..we will

move more and more into alignment with Source energy. The main skill

used here is the power of FOCUS. We need to focus on that which feels

good. And sometimes, it means that, we need to do a Journey process

because it is an activated past memory.

An understanding of the Law of Attraction……..meaning what we think

about and feel about, we bring about…….gives us the theoretical framework

of understanding, to then, take tools like Journey process work, to clean up

our vibration, so as to feel better and to manifest what it is we are wanting..

Journey work’s ability to help us clean up our vibration around events and

people from our past and present and our thinking about the future, is

invaluable. What is also most interesting about Journey work is that when

these past memories are cleared, the healing becomes effortless, a calmness

starts to take over and this calmness is our true state, it is Source energy

flowing through us. For me, it was a new feeling, one that I had experienced

mostly when I was in nature, as a child. And now it is becoming more and

more a part of my everyday experience. At first it felt odd, not ordinary. I, at

times, felt like I was waiting for the anxiety or depression to come again.

Like a doubtfulness was there…………and what I noticed was that if I was

faithful to clearing all negative emotion, I stayed in this state more and more

of the time.

Brandon Bays and her team are brilliant in their development of such

effective tools for wellness. I am incredibly grateful for her desire to help

more and more people, release resistance and move into alignment with

their true nature……this magnificent “Source Energy.”

The ability to inspire a “REDUCTION OF RESISTANCE”…….or a

movement from negative into positive emotion…..is the key to all healing.

Every time we have a desire and get into alignment with it, we contribute to

an expansion of the universe. The universe becomes more than it

was……..because we have become more than we were.

To me this is a very empowering thought. It means that our role on the

planet is infinitely important. We choose to come forth in order to help in

this magnificent unfolding. And how we do this is to get into “good feeling”

and become an expansion of joy or love or empowerment.

I am proposing that if we understand and teach the Law of Attraction, along

with using methods of healing, like Journey work, in order to bring more and

more people into alignment with Source Energy………then each new

person, who has become aligned with their true nature, causes an expansion

of the universe…..the universe is actually becoming more and

more……because people’s desire causes this expansion.

My sincerest thank you to Jerry and Esther Hicks and to Brandon Bays, her

husband, Kevin Billet and their team (the North American team is led by

Skip and Kristine Lackey), for the work that they are doing………they are

“Source” in action…….and they are calling us all forward into this that we

truly are. How wonderful it is!
