The Abe Forum

I feel inspired to immerse myself even more into Abe's teachings. And by this I mean the practical application in daily life.

That is why I want to do a 30 day in-the-Vortex challenge

Or maybe challenge is not the right word. It implies effort. Let's call it experiment.

Why this challenge?
I feel like I spend way more time efforting around in my life than I would want to. It makes me tired. And most importantly I realize that the reason I am ever feeling bad, tired, uninspired... is not my life situation, but...... *drumroll* it is my own vibration.
That is why I want to connect with my Vortex on a daily basis and make it my priority. Framing it as a "30 day project" will help me stay focused.

What this is about?
-This experiment will be about prioritizing the way I feel in my day to day life.
- It is about trusting that when I tend to how I feel, that this is already the most productive thing I can do. The rest will work itself out.
-I have this vision about how the Universe works. In this vision high vibration is actually magnetic. My inner being knows that I could just be lounging on my couch feeling blissfull, happy, fulfilled and everything would come to me. I want to celebrate the non-action and the trust.
-This experiment is about finding out what changes in my mind and life will happen if I focus on my vibration in such an unapologetic way.

How is this different than my "normal life"?
- I want to act when I am inspired to. If I am not inspired: chill out.
-If I "have to" do something I will try to align with it or take a step back and think how I could do it in a more fun way or delegate it or do it later.
-I will NEVER make myself do something in order to gain something (acting from a place of resistance). No forcing it.
-This will be a complete paradigm shift. I want to shift my focus from action-focused to vibration-focused. The underlying parameter is: trust.
-I will have a lot of fun . Normally I tend to prioritize productivity over fun. No more of that!
-Actually these 30 days will be a blast and might be the best of my life.

What does the challenge/experiment entail?
-Mostly having the above said in mind and executing it.
-Posting updates in this thread.
-Doing more high vibe activities (meditation, going for a walk, journaling etc.)
-I have a little technique I came up with that works well for me. Instead of doing a to-do-list in the morning which includes all of my chores , I am writing myself a list with things/activities that might be fun or enjoyable. I got good results from that, as it makes me think about my day in terms of possibilities to feel good. Sometimes some "chores" even end up on that list because I realize that for example cleaning the bathroom can be enjoyable when I do it in a happy and mindful way and get excited about the feeling of cleanliness. However, the goal is not to put chores on there, it is about pre-paving. Sometimes chores just end up there, and I have a much better time doing them later. The list is no "must do", it is more like a menu for me to chose from throughout the day. I like that process, it get's me excited.
- Having the time of my life. Letting go of guilt and worry. Connecting with my inner being on an even deeper level.

I am declaring today as Day 0. Today I am writing this set up post and preparing myself mentally. Tomorrow will be Day 1.
The first to days might be easier as I am still off work, but we will see how it works.

Whoever reads this, feel free to do your own manifesting stuff along with me. If you come to this post on a later day, you can still participate.

Happy manifesting!

This is one of the most inspiring ideas I have ever read. It is exactly what I think too, and I will follow this process very closely because I believe I can benefit greatly from it and also immerse myself in this energy. I want to take more care of my vibrations and let go more, and come into the state of allowing without effort and full of happiness, trusting that all good things will come to me when I am in the vortex and only act when I am again in harmony with my inner being. What you describe inspires me totally, and I am so glad that you are doing this process because I believe it can be a great source of inspiration for me and many others. Thank you for your ideas; it is really very great.

Oh wow, thank you so much for your kind and uplifting words! I’m so happy this resonates so deeply with you!! It’s such a gift to connect with like-minded souls. I can’t wait to see how this unfolds for both of us.

Day 1
Today was a deliciously slow day. I like that. Slowness and acceptance. I painted for a couple of hours in the morning. My husband and I were too lazy to go shopping for groceries so we ordered food. Turned out a great idea, I had the most delicious pasta! Watching Youtube videos without guilting myself. Later, I had my sweet lil kitten on my lap and petted him.

Obviously, it is impossible to force yourself to be super joyful all the time in just one day.
I have been reminding myself again and again that it is all about feeling good. Resistance pops up anyway, it least it did today. I tried to become very aware of my inner state and started to sooth myself, as soon as I realized that resistance had crept in. I think this is a learning process. It feels good.



Today's theme really was reminding myself of the fact that everything is all right. It is not wrong, it is right. You know you daily grievances and hurts will come up, and they will feel real to you. But I can chose to focus differently, turn away from them. Sometimes I feel like the old vibration has so much momentum that my mind does not want to let go of the old story. It wants to make me believe that I have to "deal with it". But I actually don't. Isn't that wonderful?? I don't have to deal with it. I really don't.



Again and again I keep going back to what relaxes me, what excites me. Living in my dreams more than in "reality". I remind myself that I can just do whatever, lean back, breath deep and just enjoy BEING. Just finding a way to cut the old train of thought. That is all I need to do. It is already done. I am already worthy.

These 30 days are here for me to make a lifestyle out of this..



A lifestyle of being as happy as I can.

Day 2



I spent the first day of the day fighting my resistance, happy-stickering it, trying to sooth it. I don't want to go into the details of it. Because why should I? I would rather tell the story of my accomplishments.

While I was writing another post on the forum here I got a huge eye opening reminder that I could just LET THAT SHIT GO. I could just stop thinking about the old story. I wrote it like that.

Actually, I am fed up with resistance! I don't want it any more. I don't ever want to worry about it again or entertain any negative thought about it. I am shutting the door to all bad feeling thoughts right now. I kick them in their butt and throw them out of my mind!! Good bye, R.I.P negativity!

Okay, now I feel better!!!

After that I just focused on happy. Thinking about happy. Focusing on what feels good. This is the power of focus!

Day 3

The only way to consciously deactivate a thought
is to activate another.
In other words, the only way to deliberately withdraw your attention from one thought,
is to give your attention to another.

― Esther Hicks, Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires


I consider Day 3 a success! After I kicked myself in the butt metaphorically and really committed to letting go of my resistance I found myself at a place where I was like: Wait a minute, if I am not entertaining these old thoughts anymore, what else am I supposed to think about instead?
Well, that's where the Original Abe Processes came into play.

Segment Intending: Segment Intending asks you to focus on a specific period of time, and to then identify the vibrational state you want to be in during that time. It is like breaking a project down into chunks, but instead of simply focusing in on a specific task to accomplish, you focus on a specific vibration you want to maintain during that time period. Taking a few moments to establish this vibration before you begin will help you to maintain an easier state of flow as you move through the time.

Wouldn’t It Be Nice If…:All you need to is say “wouldn’t it be nice if…” and fill in the blank with whatever your desire is. This is so easy to do and it’s a powerful way to pivot from worrying and doubt to enthusiasm and hope.

Which Thought Feels Better?: Wherever you are, you always have the ability to think a thought that feels slightly better or slightly worse than the previous thought. This game focuses on this point, but getting you to become more conscious of how individual thoughts feel. All you have to do is choose a thought, and then choose a second thought. Notice which one feels better, and begin to feel more strongly into the better feeling thought.

(Got these explanations off the Internet because I am laaazy )

These three worked really well for me. I came up with new good feeling thoughts and imagined up lovely scenarios. Also I could really feel the change in my body. It feels full, relaxed, warm.

Because of that I was giggly and bouncy for a good part of the day. My husband commented upon my good mood. I had a lot more energy than on the days before. And I started working on my art business as well. It just flowed. All about my art business felt easy, interesting and possible. Amazing, right?

Day 4

On Day 4 I was not able to keep all of the high vibration of Day 3 unfortunately.
I had some symptoms due to the medication I am currently taking. Also I tried to organize a trip to a concert with my mother and my mister while they were being rather uncooperative and generally clueless about everything.
It would have been easy to spiral down again.

BUT '
(Ah, I like that there is a "but").

I feel that I gained some kind of awareness. An awareness that I don't want to go there! I don't need to go there. An awareness that I'd rather keep my vibration high than worry about how things will turn out and how others are behaving and what they are thinking. I am not a slave to my thoughts.
It feels like:

My vibration is more important than these worrisome thoughts!!!!

I tried to sooth as much as I can, while using the processes I described yesterday.



I remember a lady (or guy?) from the old forum who said that their understanding of Abe's teachings has matured so much that whenever resistance pops up they go like: "Ah a new chuck of resistance is coming up, goooood, now I have something to relax into...."
I would like to fully embody that, too, one day

Day 5

The day was crap.

And then I went to the most amazing, inspiring, delightful concert!!!

Lesson learned:
Sometimes it is not good to stay in your head all the time and try to raise your vibration only utilizing mental "effort". Get OUT OUT OUT
Go to where the high vibration is.
