Emotions are the best way to quickly tap into what your vibration is at any moment. You are constantly emitting a vibration. You can’t help it. It is going on 24/7. What you can help is what type of vibration you are emitting. Vibrations can be measure by frequency similar to a radio dial. Think of a dial with bad emotions on one end and super happy emotions on the other end. You are constantly somewhere on this dial all the time, 24/7. By being aware of your emotions, you can quickly identify what vibration you are sending out. Now, think about your vibration as a “request” to the universe. Your vibration is asking for the universe to fill your life with more of the same thing your are sending out. So, if you are angry (anger is a vibration or frequency), you are asking the universe to fill your life with more things that make you angry. Ever feel like a bad day goes from bad to worse? Or a good day seems to get even better? Or an OK day seems to simply stay just OK? Think about the emotion meter. The universe will give you what you ask for even if you don’t even know you are asking.
What you want to do is be able to turn a bad day into a better day. Sometimes you might have heard me talk about this as the Law of Attraction. It is a law that is effecting your life regardless of whether you know about it or believe in it. You will simply get more of what you are thinking about on your emotional meter. The good news is that there is a built in delay. How fast it comes into your life can depend upon how strong the vibration. So, what do you do if you are having a bad day or simply something bad happens? Remember the earlier chapter that states you are here to find and live in Joy? If you live your life through the perspective of Joy, you will be able to find something good in everything that happens if you try.
When your Grandfather Ron Farmer and later your Grandmother Betsy (Mimi) Farmer passed to Heaven, they were very sad days for me. But, despite the very big sense of loss, there was much to be thankful for. I’m sad Mimi died alone. However, I’m glad she passed in her own home and peacefully. She was not in an accident or need to have major surgery. She did not ever want to go into a nursing home. It was a pretty big deal for her. She also had a lot of heath issues. So she is no longer in pain and was able to end this life in a way that she preferred. This is an extreme example, but it makes the point. You can apply this to any situation. Keep in mind that whatever happens in your life, you first called it in through either 1) your choices, 2) the Law of Attraction or 3) through your Soul Contract (see more about Soul Contracts in a later chapter). Your job is to use your Free Will and make your choices consciously. Know that you can affect what happens in your life more than you are currently aware. Choose the vibration you want to hold within you that gets sent to the universe and asks for more of what you want.
I realize this is not easy, especially at first. But, remember how to eat an elephant… One small bite at a time. That means instead of thinking you can go from a sad or mad mood to a real happy one you should take smaller steps. Going from a sad or mad mood to a neutral one might be easier. Neutral meaning it is a thought that does not make you mad or happy. How do you do this? Sometimes it is a simple as changing your attention. I often use the comfort of our pets. Animals are keenly intuitive to our vibrations. Pets often come to our side when we are in emotional pain. Our pets Roxy and Reily have given both your mother and I great comfort in tough times. Simply taking your attention off of what is upsetting you and placing it on something that comforts you is enough to change your vibration. Instantly.
Remember to keep your attention in the NOW. Don’t think long term or ancient history. Simply by petting or holding your pet and appreciating them for their unconditional love will change your vibration. At the very least it is a step in the right direction. Continue to do this over time and you will take the pain and bad vibration out of what was bothering you. You will release the energy that holds you back. The more you think about it or hold on to it, the more it remains in your life and can even intensify.
One I have mentioned earlier is to find something positive in any situation. If your car gets stolen, perhaps it was before you put a lot of money into tricking it out. Of that you had insurance and still have a way to get to work and school. If you were overlooked for a promotion… perhaps it is to free you up to a new and/or better opportunity coming that you will now be available for rather than tied up with where you were. Trust me, there is always a silver lining even if it is there by the grace of a very small thread. That’s ok. Hold onto that thread. Pull on it. See where it takes you. It may help to get your emotions back to neutral… then… higher.
Here is another tool. If you have a bad emotion come up. Feel it, let it come up and be with it a moment, so you can process it. Then give a really big breath through your mouth and blow it out. This will send it out past your aura and away from you. You may need to do this several times, until the negative emotion is released. You will actually feel it happen. You then have a chance to put a different emotion in its place using one of the techniques or processes above.
Like Free Will, emotions are a gift. Think of the Emotions Meter. Emotions guide us. They quickly tell us what energy we are putting out to the universe. They tell us what we are asking back from the universe. The universe will always deliver. Be aware. Pay attention. Know that you can affect this energy. Play with it. Test it out. Stay happy. Stay joyous. Love what you are doing and who you are doing it with.
