First of all - I would like to publicly thank the Paths company and staff for creating the Mood Elevator!
I've had a lot of thoughts and ideas surfacing and I'd like to share them, in hopefully a coherent fashion....
When I read Aaron's post a month or so ago about getting into the feeling of already having it (whatever you desire) and becoming so involved with that feeling that he raised his emotions to a high state I thought "oh so THAT'S how you can manifest and bring yourself into a receiving alignment." Then I thought "Well how the hell do I raise my emotions to that level?" I haven't felt that emotive in a very long time. I couldn't even imagine it, much less put it into practice.
The strongest emotions I was feeling at the time was panic and fear. A lot of it was irrational. I even knew this while feeling it. I used a lot of meditating and deep breathing to calm myself and separate the Higher Jamie from that feeling, but I was at a complete loss of how to create the higher good feelings of Having It Now. Yes, I could quell those really bad feelings fairly quickly, but I wanted to move up the emotional scale and to be honest, wasn't even sure what that felt like or what I would desire if I could.
The Mood Elevator is working on that with me. Situations that previously left me in fear and panic are now being handled. Yes, they are situations that some people would call "problems"; however, now I am walking through them calmly and with joy knowing that they are in the process of being resolved. And I'm confident they'll be taken care of quickly and joyfully. In fact, I can actually see the good that is going to come out of them!
I'm working on my desires now. Last night I had a big realization on something I really want in my life.
yay! And now I'm going to move forward in visualizing that already being done. And I can actually feel emotional about it! In a good way. lol. I haven't cried with gratitude yet - but I'm sure I'm not far from that. lol.
So thanks to the Mood Elevator and Paths, I feel like I have OPTIONS. I have something to get up for in the morning. I can make choices. I'm blessed beyond words to feel this. And I'm thankful forever that I can move forward in this fashion.
