I've been listening to a lot of Abraham Hicks recordings and they encourage visualizing to feel good instead of for the manifestation. What they do not teach you, at least from what I have heard, is how to visualize in a way that feels good. I have just heard that the intention should be to feel good, but how to do that is my question?
Remember when Abraham used to talk about “warming up to manifesting” the same way you warm up before exercise? That idea of preparation has always felt so important to me. Instead of jumping straight into high-vibe visualization or scripting, you first take time to genuinely raise your vibration and quiet your mind and get in the zone.
That’s why meditation feels like the real foundation of all of this. Michael James - who came out of the Abraham Hicks world - has always emphasized that meditation is first base if you want to consciously create your dreams.
And also I’ve come to believe 15 minutes isn’t enough for most people. By the time the mind settles and resistance starts easing, well it's just not long enough. Michael has even corroborated this himself. The deeper shifts seem to happen when you stay with it longer and actually allow yourself to fully soften into alignment.
So long story short, I was manifesting a relationship with someone I had been talking to for a few months, but they recently blocked me and cut off all contact.
I know I need to choose myself, to make myself feel good, to get into the vortex. But I’m struggling to recreate the feeling of being chosen by another person I desired. I don’t know how I can feel desired in their absence the same as I did in their presence, I feel lonely. I know I need to take my focus off them, and focus on myself, but I just don’t even know what that looks like. I don’t feel good that they basically ditched me without warning.
Would love any AH inspired tips on how to navigate this.
>"You're only impatient because you've got crossways a little bit in your thinking in that you've noticed that there are things that you get to experience or that you see other people experience that look like a good idea, and then you make statements to yourself and eventually lock them in with strong expectation that goes something like:
>"If I could do that, then I would be happy." "If I had this much money, then I would be happy." "If I could have a lover or if I could live over there or if I could do this, then I would be happy."
>And that isn't at all what your intentions were when you came. You intended to be happy, and you intended to find that feeling of alignment, and then you knew things would come to you.
>You didn't intend to get the condition, and then feel good. You intended to conjure the feeling good, and then allow the condition. That's manifestation at its best."

I only have four miserable days to make a radical change in my life, and it’s been twenty-four hours since I fell into a terrible state of discouragement.
There’s a lot of pressure in my life right now, and despite all the tests I’ve had during these last two weeks, I haven’t achieved what’s truly important right now…
MONEY!
Today I had a crying fit, a deep sadness, and I completely lost my appetite.
I’ve already taken my omega-3, vitamin D3+K2, and three different types of magnesium. I haven’t consumed milk or gluten for six weeks and I’m maintaining a balanced diet. But for some reason, I’m going through a psychological problem.
I was so happy!!!
Neither deep breathing exercises, solar plexus exercises, nor classical music changed my mood.
I only think about MONEY = FREEDOM!!!
For context, my uni has this going‑abroad scheme and I applied after I kept seeing signs and stuff, but I didn’t dwell on it because I thought it was just a coincidence. I didn’t tell anyone I applied — I just let the universe decide. I even used manifestation techniques and genuinely believed it would work. I stayed positive and didn’t overthink anything.
But I got rejected, and I’m honestly so done. It feels like I have bad luck because this keeps happening, and I don’t understand why it didn’t go my way even though I tried to stay positive.
Now that I'm financially in a relatively sector place, I see myself comparing to people with multiple millions, like celebs.
I was watching a tv show and berated myself for probably never being able to afford multiple luxury cars.
Weirdest part is that I don't need a car at all but just seeing them have multiple expensive cars made me wonder why I wasn't born in a richer family or why I don't have enough capability to get it on my own.
These days it's not just the celebs who can own such stuff, there's even so many so called normal people who can afford all this.
And i know once I have that, I will find something else to cry about.. why is money never enough?
So....what I've been trying to manifest away is indeed my job.
And mind you, I'm feeling good and truly valuing my well being as #1 priority more and more, with a pair of nice manifestations that have already shown up.
However, as I'm trying to do this, and as I'm willing to do this, I can't help but.....not giving a fuck about my work.
Ok I'm there, but....I really don't care. So I am doing things a bit lightheartedly. I'm in a statal job, so it's basically impossible to get fired or having serious repercussions (and I've also manifested this, as my #1 priority in life is security).
I come from a very hard working family. My mother- aka the generator of all my evil- was extremely diligent and devoted to any type of work. I'm a natural philosopher and a creator, I prefer to study and elaborate on the planes of spirit and mind, rather than matter.
But I always needed to be as hardworking and robotic as possible to please her and others, as I did a scientific career where no kind of creative and """""naive"""""" thought is allowed.
Anyway, these negative imprintings still drag me down during the day. I'm just at work trying to see and feel the best as I can- and one way is actually not giving a fuck about it, not to mention vividly envision or thinking that indeed this is just temporary. I truly couldn't care less.
At the same time my inner critic goes haywire at the minimum error or breaking of the """"rules"""". The more I go on, the more I see that these rules are nothing but prisons created to keep us low vibe and compliant. Problem is that, most humans don't get that.
What to do then? How to concime or work my thoughts around this whole ordeal?
Woke up with this interesting thought on my mind..
If I'm not my physical body, but a non physical entity (call it whatever, soul, IB, energy, etc), which just changes bodies to experience this time-space reality on planet earth.. and I consider this non-physical entity to be "Real", so if I lose this body I'm in right now, this won't suddenly make me not-real, or no longer exist.
When we think of a person who lived in the past - like Einstein, Mozart, etc we consider those people "real".
When we think about fictional characters from books/movies, like James Bond, Gandalf, Sherlock Holmes, Spiderman, Harry Potter, etc, we do not consider them "real", but why? only because they didn't have a real body. they have a life story, a character, if it's from movie, some actor gave them a temporary body representation.. so maybe they are JUST AS REAL in terms of non physical as me and you?
Another point - Abraham has no body, it's energy which is channeled by Esther.. but we consider them to be real (they exist, not imaginary)
So can we say - Abraham is energy that flows its message and injects itself into this "physical" reality through Esther, and Harry Potter might be just like that, energy that flew its message (very strongly btw) and injected itself into this physical reality through JK Rowling? Spiderman via Stan Lee, etc etc...
From this point of view, I feel like we can consider Harry Potter to be just as real as any of us..
Another interesting point is this- Abraham and other energy/souls come into the physical with some intentions, some people are born and soon forgotten by the world, while others leave a mark that is remembered for generations, Harry Potter "energy" was so strong that probably most people on the planet today heard of him, even though he came to fulfill his intentions without a physical body, he couldn't leave such a mark if he came into a "real" body and waved a stick and claimed to be a wizard.. but without a body, he added added a universe of magic to our world that will remain for generations.
What do you think, and have you heard anything like that from Abraham?
Title is meant to be funny but I do need some perspective. I love listening to Esther and the teachings of Abraham and align with most of what she says.
My wife has become completely consumed with money and the non stop focus on material wealth and possessions. She claims Esther taught her that materialism is the highest form of spirituality. She claims that if she spends money as if we have more than we do, then the LoA will bring more. I LOVE ESTHER! But after a few years of my wife listening daily to the youtube channels l am questioning if it is a dangerous influence on her and our family. She used to seek out spiritual guidance from the teachings of the buddha and other well known spiritual guides. She has abandoned all others and now the primary focus of her life is attracting the best life possible, AKA the constant 24/7 obsession with increasing money and material wealth. This includes "keeping up with the jones's" and feeling horrible if people around her are "attracting" things she doesnt have. We live on a gold course and travel and our kids play multiple sports. We are priveleged and spoiled to the point of insanity with the amount of material wealth all around us. She is not content with anything we have. Every room in the house needs upgrades, we need better neighbors, friends, cars, clothes. I am beginning to live in an environment where the complete focus is on what we do NOT have.
Has this happened to anyone else? Am I missing the point? Can I help my wife grow her understanding of the teachings?
Note: Please don't tell me to go to therapy. I already am in therapy.
Are there are days when you just want to give up, completely? Mentally and physically exhausted and nothing seems to be going your way.
On one hand it seems like.. if nothing matters then why worry? On the other you worry that there might be worse that you haven't imagined or come across yet.
On these days or moments, how do you feel even a little better to move up the vibration scale?
