A Review of Abraham/Hicks Getting into the Vortex Guided Meditations CD

First let me say I really enjoy the CD. Listening to it regularly, I noticed some wonderful shifts. I find that I especially enjoy listening to it when I go to bed. It is a wonderful way to enter relaxing and rejuvenating sleep. I find this particularly helpful if I am having difficulty sleeping, which happens from time to time. It also allows me to wake up in a very positive balanced state of mind – In the Vortex.

For those of you new to Abraham, “Getting into the Vortex” means aligning with your Higher Self, getting your thoughts and feelings in alignment with Who- you- really- are. This is your Divine Self, The broader part of who you are. Abraham says we are mostly pure positive Source Energy, and that a very small part of who we are, incarnates into physical form for the purpose of creating through our relationship with contrast. We know what we don’t want; this helps us get clear about what we do want.  This is what causes the Universe to expand. And we do this through the Law of Attraction, which says, “The essence of that which is like unto itself, is drawn.”  In other words, whatever we are focusing on we are calling to us vibrationally speaking. If we are focusing on the thing we don’t want, or the feeling of lack of what we do want, we create more of the same. But, when we know what we don’t want and focus on what we want , why we want it, how it will feel when it gets here, and most importantly, enjoying the journey of allowing it to come, we manifest what we want.

This CD helps us get to the place of enjoying the journey, so we can receive that which we desire, as we release resistance that can block it from coming to us. The CD comes with a book that Esther and Jerry Hicks recommend you read before you listen to the CD. The book is short, small, and takes about 45 minutes to read from cover to cover. The book lets you understand what they are saying on the CD and most importantly why they are saying it. The CD is comprised of four separate meditations each 15 minutes long and covers four different topics; General Well Being, Financial Abundance, Physical Well Being, and Relationships. This covers the most important parts of life and the areas that so many people struggle with. They recommend that you listen to just one meditation a day and, never while driving.

All the meditations have the same rhythm and background music specifically designed to get you to breathe more deeply and slowly than you normally do. This is wonderful in and of itself. We can connect so much easier to Source when we slow down.  In all of the meditations they are basically giving you the message that you are perfect just where you are. That you don’t have to be or do anything  other than go easy on yourself, appreciate your wonderful self,  enjoy where you are and what you have, to be kind to you. The meditations are a journey of self appreciation and gentleness.

The first meditation is General Well Being. In this Meditation there are two quotes that I especially love. The first is “That which is Source is fully aware of you right now, and feels unspeakable appreciation for who-you-are. Your life is supposed to feel good to you, and you are meant to feel happiness in your life- and you are meant to satisfy your dreams.” What could be better than that? This is such a wonderful validation of “self “. There is no question of worthiness here, rather total acceptance.

My other favorite quote from Well Being is “You are doing extremely well. The Well Being that you seek is flowing to you. Relax and enjoy the unfolding: and feel appreciation for what-is, and eagerness for what is coming… There is great love here for you.” It’s so nice to hear you are doing extremely well, just be in the moment and all you want is coming. I find this very liberating.

The second meditation is Financial Abundance. Very quickly into the meditation Abraham says “the Stream of Abundance flows generously- and it is right- and it is time for you to receive your share. This will not be difficult for you to do, and it will not take much time, because you are already well along the way”. This is a great start and such a relief. This relief can be felt through the breath. You may notice at this point you relax more. Another jewel in this meditation comes about half way through. “The fastest way to get to an improved financial condition is to look for pleasing things that you already have, for in the seeking and finding of that which is working, more success will come – and it will come quickly”. Again find peace where you are and more peace will come…peace of cash flow- sounds great!

The third meditation is Physical Well Being. In this meditation there are several quotes I love but I will share only two. First, “Your physical body will respond very quickly to the absence of resistance that you are feeling while you breathe, for there is no physical body, no matter what the condition, that cannot return to its natural state of Well Being.” And second, “these words you are hearing are not about your body- but about your allowing and alignment with Source. Your body is a reflection of the balance of your thought, and the release of resistance will produce positive change.” I find these words so completely empowering and full of grace. It doesn’t need to happen all at once but as you let go of your resistance, little by little, miracles can happen.

The last meditation is about Relationships. There are two quotes I will share, although it was hard to pick just two. First, the CD starts off with“The others with whom you share your planet are of tremendous value to you even when you want different things; and your Earth environment is large enough to accommodate all of the variety of interests, beliefs, and desires.”  Wow, doesn’t that just give you cause to pause! Does this mean every point of view is valid? I think so. This makes it so much easier to be compassionate rather than judging.

The second quote I’ll share is “If you will release all concern about how others feel about you, and focus only upon how you feel about them, you will unearth your core understanding of who-you-really-are, and you will discover what true freedom really is” I love this because after listening to this entire CD you will realize that it is always about how you feel and how can you feel better. This is the place we attract from, the feeling of the vibrations we are sending out, and attracting back to us as our life experiences. The ultimate freedom is knowing you are a deliberate creator, and taking responsibility for what you are creating.

I think this CD is a gift and recommend listening to it daily. For more information on Jerry and Esther Hicks and the teachings of Abraham go to www.abraham-hicks.com.
