Two weeks ago I participated in a Cherokee-style sweat, my intention for which was to release whatever wasn’t serving me.
I didn’t have anything in particular in mind – just thought it was a good overall intention. Sweat out whatever’s not needed any more.
Sounded like a good plan. (I still think it was.)
Regular readers who know what a chocolate afficianado I am may be surprised to hear that ever since that sweat I haven’t had a fraction of the desire for chocolate.
(Instead I bought every kind of fruit possible at the store the next day. It was slightly ridiculous.)
So I thought perhaps chocolate wasn’t serving, and thus it got released.
Cool.
Except that I feel like crap.
Not sleeping well, not excited about much (that could be post Money Mojo completion, though), and a low grade irritation running in the background (that could just be because my boyfriend lives with me, though). he he
(At least my sense of humor is intact.)
Maybe, I thought, chocolate really DOES serve me and I feel like crap because I’m not having any. But the magnesium supplements should handle that. And honestly, chocolate just doesn’t sound good any more. It’s not a conscious denial thing.
Maybe, I thought, I’m detoxing because my body finally got a break from all that sugar. (I liked this from Christine’s Bad Day post: “When you plant a new seed in the soil, the first thing that comes up is not the new shoot. The first thing that comes up is a little dirt.”)
Or maybe I’m still discouraged about my foster kitty that died last week (even though I keep reminding myself about the four that are thriving).
I don’t know.
I know one thing, though. Spending this kind of time out of the vortex is serving me.
It’s like going on a recon mission.
I don’t exactly know what a recon mission is, but this feels like one to me. Because this venture out of the vortex is what fuels new desires and inspires more growth and leads to even better experiences ahead.
Those kinds of “wins” aren’t fueled on nothing, you know. New “dreams come true” originate from days like these … these out of the vortex days.
Because Step 3 doesn’t happen without Step 1 action.
Just a quick summary for those not familiar with Abraham lingo: the vortex is where all your successful manifestations await you. It’s all ready and assembled, just waiting on you to get on board. Step 1 is when you ask (i.e. have a new desire), Step 2 is when source energy (aka Universe, God, All That Is, etc.) follows our asking instruction and creates it, and Step 3 is when you let the goods in by lining up vibrationally (i.e. “allowing” it).
It’s during Step 3 that you’re in the vortex to enjoy the fruits of your creations. Step 1 is out of the vortex, where we get ideas for new creations. In the vortex feels fabulous; out of the vortex no so much. Got it? Cool.
This kind of contrast inspires new desires. As long as I make this venture temporary and don’t get too hung up on it, when I’m done with this Step 1 gig I can move right back into the vortex where life gets even better.
In fact, I just got a glimpse of that “even better” vortex from a client’s note today:
Yesterday she and I chatted about a nervous anxiety that was creeping into her thoughts about a particular outcome she wanted next month. We talked about making peace and telling new stories and refocusing on our power to create what we want. And this morning she sent an enthusiastic update about a powerful turnaround she’s already experiencing that ended with these words: “I’m back, only BETTER!”
Hee hee.
That’s where I’m headed. And just as fast as she did.
After I gather up a little more material about what I don’t want and don’t like and don’t what to experience again, I’ll take my new information and brand new desires and head back into the vortex to a party that got even better while I was gone.
Sheesh, I’m feeling better already. 
My point is, we may as well make peace with our “out of the vortex days” because they are what make for really fun parties once we’re done with this recon mission and head back to the vortex party.
You with me?
