Power comes from focusing on what I prefer (1000)

In the narrowed awareness state of being, when I was only looking at what I don’t prefer, all I wanted is to reject, fix or destroy it. In the expanded, joyful, peaceful awareness, I'm grateful for it

Just now I'm noticing I don't feel very good. There's a resistance in me, a specific experience that I recognize as not preferable.

The contrast is quite big, as I'm not used to having this low vibration, at least not lately. So I know I must have done something to have this experience.

Because I have a lower vibration, I see my tendency is to focus on things that are of a lower vibration—not preferred. This makes me feel and keeps me feeling weak.

Weakness comes by focusing on what I don't prefer.

I'm writing this from a lower state of being than I'm used to.

A lower state of being will reject everything that is of a higher vibration. Simply because, technically, when we are experiencing a lower vibration, a low feeling state, because of the intense narrowing we are actively doing, our awareness is narrowing also. This narrowed awareness will filter out everything that is not of the same narrative as what we are currently focusing on.

What keeps me still afloat now is my memory that a more pleasant state of being is possible, and I know it's possible right now.

But first, let's see how I got here.

How to feel low

If I were to teach someone how to lower their vibration, how would I teach them?

Here are a few ideas that pop into my mind now:

• Watch the news!
  This will be very easy for most to go lower, toward a more fearful way of thinking. This will also easily put you in a frame of mind that something is wrong.

• The old method of making yourself unhappy works here also: start comparing yourself to others that seem to have more of what you want.
  This will immediately make you miserable.

• Think that there is scarcity. Scarcity of jobs, money, resources, etc.
  This will make sure that you'll go deeper and deeper into the pit.

• Think that other people or entities are greedy and want to take everything for themselves.
  This will ensure that a fear-based attitude is cultivated in you.

• Try to force what you desire to happen.
  This will make you tired in under an hour.

Here are a few beliefs that need to be active in order to go in a lower vibration with the corresponding energy level. You can check the full consciousness map here.

I need to fix what I don’t prefer. (200 - Courage)

I need to have what other have or more. (90 - Regret - Anxiety)

There is a lack of resources. (110 - Anxiety)

I need to work hard to get what I want (100 - Fear)

As I'm writing the above from a lower vibration, my thoughts scream that yes! There is scarcity, you have every reason to be afraid, and yes, other people have more of what you want!

The gentle voice

At the same time, there is also a more gentle voice advocating for remembering my past pleasant memories. It tells me there might be something off with these thoughts. I see images of myself where I've experienced being very happy with much less, when it didn't bother me what everyone had. I know I was very happy in the moment simply by being as I am.

Here is the turning point where I get goosebumps again—when I trust that there is another possibility and a gift is ready just for me whenever I feel low.

This small window of feeling good reminds me that I can be the change that I want to see in myself and in the world, and all I need to do now is to find some kind of process that will uplift my state of being.

Belief: Power comes from focusing on what I prefer (1000)

The simplest way I know is to say, "Thank you!" from my heart.

Here are a few examples:

• "I see that my focus is on lack of resources right now. Thank you, but I don't need to focus on that anymore. I would like to focus on what is abundant like what I see around me, like the big, beautiful planet I'm a part of, like the abundance of people that want to contribute to everyone's well-being..."

• "Thank you! I believed I needed to fix the world before enjoying it. Now I prefer to enjoy what is enjoyable and already all around me."

• “Thank you! I prefer freedom, flow, unconditional love, abundance, power, inspiration, allowing, trust in who I am, trust in the whole Universe focusing on what I focus on.”

• “I see a lot of things that I don't prefer in current politics. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I value trust, collaboration, justice, sharing, knowing that we're all together on this planet.”

As I'm doing this right now, my vibration has lifted from 190 when I started writing this to 560. 560 being the frequency of healing.

I have goosebumps again.

I love this state. This inspired state, where my breath is so free that there is a sweet pleasure in every breath I take. This state where all I can think of is gratitude. Gratitude for who I am, gratitude for the planet, gratitude for all the wonderful people in my life, gratitude for all people, even those that, by their contrasting behavior, help me see so clearly what I prefer.

This is a wonderful state of being, a state of being where you don't have any more questions, but only an inner knowing that everything is exactly as it's supposed to be.

This wonderful state of being can be easily experienced by anyone. There are countless ways that people have created specifically for this, including:

• Meditation

• Prayer

• AA 12 steps

• Mindfulness

• Hypnosis

• HOP steps

Regardless of the process, a few common elements will show up:

• Gratitude/Prayer

• Allowing/Requests

• Surrender/Letting Go/Trust

• Awareness/Clarity

• Focused Thoughts

And after going through the process, most of these elements will show up in your experience:

• Trust and connection in being part of something bigger than its parts

• Wholeness

• Oneness

• Free satisfying breath

• Healing

• Peace

• Ease/Gentleness within your whole self

• Inner knowing

• Power

And here is where this newfound awareness includes everything. This awareness can see the beauty in the narrowing because it can see a much more expansive everything. This state of being allows me to see the “negative” as a shadow that helps me see where the light shines the most.

In the narrowed awareness state of being, when I was only looking at what I don’t prefer, all I wanted is to reject, fix or destroy it. In the expanded, joyful, peaceful awareness, I'm grateful for it.
