Vibrations explained in a Ted Talk

I have been reading the Bible a lot and thinking about all of the things I have said about Vibrations in this thread. It has been quite a journey, where I experimented with changes in my spiritual beliefs but now find myself returning to many of the original beliefs that I grew up with but with one main difference--that there is a spiritual plane or place where God, souls, and spirits exist seems more real to me now than ever before. My personal faith that there is an infinite God is stronger than ever before.

I am not so sure that the vibrations journey was all about God but when I mentioned that listening to Esther Hicks Youtube videos was helpful--at the time, it really was. Her teachings about thinking more positively, did help me feel less depressed when I was feeling down. Studies do show that positive people are healthier and can achieve other positive outcomes. There is some truth in we become what we believe. I think some of the reason she made me feel better was that I wished everything was as she says it is. For instance, she believes, "The basis of life is freedom; the purpose of life is joy; the result of life is growth." This is how I would like life to be for us all but sometimes we do have to follow rules and though life has many, many joys, there is sadness too. Some of these new age beliefs like we can manifest money if we just believe are not always what is meant to be. I do not have faith that I can manifest anything but I do believe that our thoughts are very powerful. After all, faith and hope are based on what we truly believe; however, I find I can think positively now without all this new age stuff. Even though I don't always meditate anymore and am mostly just reading and praying--my insomnia seems to be gone now and I have had very bad insomnia since I was a teenager. Since starting this thread, I have been evaluating a lot of stuff and wonder just what a psychiatrist or therapist would diagnose but I won't really officially ask. Too many stories on PC about people being diagnosed as needing help when they sounded saner than this thread probably does.....

That was a good post tuned out!

Although Esther Hicks teaching sounds a bit cookoo to me lol there is a lot of wisdom in those words. If you wake up every morning and tell yourself that you’ll spend a day dwelling and ruminating over something sad from 50 years ago and you are going to be in pain all day, you likely will spend all day in bed crying and unable to function. But if you get up with intention of embracing what good stuff life has to offer today, you likely will have a satisfying accomplished day. We can’t change sad events but we sure can change our approach to life or at least seek help in achieving some type of balance

Good thinking tuned out!

I feel like I can relate to some of the things the guest on this video experienced:

When my daughter was in middle school, I began taking yoga classes with her at her dance studio. My daughter was doing meditation all of the time; for instance, when our family was on a walk out in nature, she would if we could stop so she could meditate a while. Later, we encouraged her to become a certified yoga instructor. I was finding I could put myself in a trance for awhile which fixed a lot of my anxiety. While posting on this thread, I learned how to use meditation to take naps (something I have never been able to do much of) and fall asleep easier. I began to think I was awoken and was trying awaken my chakra energy from the bottom of my spine to the crown of my head. Many of the astrology/horoscope readings talked about activating the energy at the base of our spine and the crown of our heads. Abraham Hicks talks often about using meditation to cure our discontent and to get in touch with our true vibration/essence. Some of the astrology readers suggest to pray to the angels for protect. I actually did this! I am now reading the Bible again and there are many places in the scripture where angels delivering messages to people say not to worship them. Satan was an angel. I am upset at myself for being so blind to what I should have known since I went to church as a child.

The one good thing that came from it is it heightened my awareness that there is a spiritual plane with real spirits that impact our world more than I realized. What I feel guilty about is how my ignorance of that world could have effected my children.

Its not about vibrations. Its about faith.

Yes, you are right. I was in a state of confusion throughout this thread but if the world has true mediums, prophets, etc. then there is also an almighty God. Our mind and body cannot "see" God but we also have a spirit just like God, the angels and the fallen angels. When my faith became stronger, things that had happened to me and my family began to make a lot more sense. I no longer feel lost and confused.
