You know how Abraham Hicks always reminds us that feeling good is everything? It’s true, isn’t it? How we feel doesn’t just show us where we are – it’s like a roadmap to where we’re going. Whether you’re hoping for more love, success, or just a bit more ease in your day, your emotions guide all the good stuff to you. But let’s be real – when you’re feeling off, it can be tricky to shift. That’s where things like the Emotional Guidance Scale, the Art of Allowing, and Vibrational Alignment come in handy. They’re little tools that help us feel better, and once we do, everything starts to fall into place.
Understanding the Emotional Guidance Scale
The Emotional Guidance Scale is like a guide that shows you where you’re at emotionally. It helps you gently move toward a better-feeling place. If you’re feeling something heavy like despair, fear, or anger, it’s not realistic to jump straight into joy. Abraham often talks about making small, steady shifts. You move from despair to anger, then from anger to frustration. Before you know it, hope starts to creep in. Every little shift matters.
You don’t have to force yourself to feel better all at once. It’s about reaching for a slightly better thought. That’s key, because, as Abraham says, “you can’t buck the current of your own vibration.” When you acknowledge where you are and reach for the next best thought, things naturally start to shift.
The Art of Allowing: Let Go of Control
Here’s something we all run into – you can’t control everything around you. The sooner you let go of trying to manage other people’s behavior or circumstances, the more peace you’ll start to feel. That’s really at the heart of the Art of Allowing. Abraham often talks about how it’s not about controlling what’s out there. Instead, it’s about focusing on what feels good right now.
Think about a time when someone upset you with something they did or said. It’s so easy to get caught up in those feelings, right? But Abraham’s wisdom reminds us that emotional well-being isn’t tied to what’s happening out there. It’s something we get to choose. You can’t control the world, but you can control where you focus. And honestly, that’s what helps keep you in alignment with what you want.
When you let go of the need to control, you allow more ease. Feeling better opens the door to everything you’ve been asking for. The Art of Allowing is about shifting your focus from what’s not working to what feels good. And it’s such a relief when you do.
Vibrational Alignment: Feeling Good Is the Key
So, what is Vibrational Alignment? It’s when your thoughts and feelings are in sync with what you want. Think of it like tuning a radio – if you’re feeling frustration, you’re not on the same “station” as love or joy. What’s your radio playing? If you stop and listen, you can tell where you’re vibing. Don’t like what’s playing? Change the channel! When you start climbing the Emotional Guidance Scale and reaching for better feelings, you begin to tune into the frequency of what you desire.
The tricky part is when you focus on what’s going wrong. It can feel like blocking all the good stuff from flowing in. But here’s the thing – once you start aligning with better-feeling emotions, even if it’s just moving from despair to anger or frustration, you open the Vibrational Escrow door a little. Then, things start flowing in. It’s about gently shifting your focus to what feels a little better. That’s when you start syncing up with everything you’ve been asking for.
What Is Vibrational Escrow, and How Do You Unlock It?
Ever feel like the things you want are just a little (or sometimes a lot!) out of reach? That’s where Vibrational Escrow comes in. Abraham explains that every time you have a desire – whether it’s for a new job, a relationship, or just more peace of mind – it gets stored in this kind of vibrational “waiting room” until you’re ready to receive it. All you need to do is align with those desires.
So how do you unlock your Vibrational Escrow? It’s simpler than it sounds – just focus on feeling good. I know that might sound too easy. But when you stop to notice the vibe you’re sitting in, you can refocus in a better direction. Once you shift your focus to things that feel better, you naturally align with what’s been waiting for you. The moment you start feeling good on purpose, it’s like opening the door and letting those desires flow right into your life. It’s kind of like placing an order online – once you’re in alignment, everything you’ve been asking for shows up.
Abraham always reminds us that we don’t have to micromanage every detail of our lives. Our only real “job” is to feel good. And when you do, everything you’ve been wanting finds its way to you, like it was meant to all along.
Practical Steps to Shift Your Mood
Now that we understand how important emotions are, let’s talk about a practical way to shift your mood and align with what’s in your Vibrational Escrow. We’ll focus on moving up the scale from Blame to Discouragement, and then to Anger—small steps, but significant ones.
- Recognize where you are emotionally: Start by checking in with yourself. Acknowledge where you’re at. Maybe you’re feeling blame—toward someone or a situation that feels completely unfair. Let yourself feel it without any judgment. Just recognizing where you are is the first step. Moving even one step up the Emotional Guidance Scale can feel tough, especially if you’re deep in the lower emotions. That’s okay. You don’t need to rush the process. Abraham reminds us that it’s about tiny, manageable shifts. If you’re stuck in blame or discouragement, it’s okay to stay there for a bit before reaching for something lighter.
- Reach for a slightly better-feeling thought: You don’t need to jump all the way to optimism or joy right now. It’s not necessary, and to be honest, it’s almost impossible. You can’t get there from here. But maybe you can move from blame to discouragement—something just a little softer. Instead of thinking, “It’s all their fault,” it might shift to, “I’m feeling really down about this, but I know there’s got to be a way forward.” Even small shifts like this can make a difference.
- Move from discouragement to anger: It might sound strange to think of anger as a step up, but in this case, it offers more energy and control than discouragement. A thought like, “This isn’t fair, and I’m so fed up with it,” can feel more empowering than being stuck in discouragement. The goal isn’t to avoid anger. It’s about using it as a bridge to better feelings down the road.
- Celebrate the small shifts: Every time you shift, even just a little bit, acknowledge it as progress. It doesn’t matter how small the improvement is—each step is important. Moving from blame to anger might not seem huge, but it’s an emotional shift that gets you closer to feeling empowered.
Don’t Let Your Expectations Discourage You
One of the most common misconceptions about the Emotional Guidance Scale is thinking that you should be able to jump straight from negative emotions like despair or frustration into joy or optimism. It’s easy to feel discouraged when you don’t make an immediate leap to happiness, especially when well-meaning advice tells you to “follow your bliss.”
But here’s the truth: if you’re in despair, it’s very unlikely that you will be able to jump straight to joy – and that’s okay. Managing your expectations is key. It’s perfectly fine to adjust how you’re looking at things. The real work is in those small, gradual shifts that move you up the scale bit by bit. Abraham’s teachings remind us that the goal isn’t to make huge leaps but to aim for relief. Even moving from anger to less anger is a win. Each tiny step brings relief and then you closer to the vibrational alignment you need for your desires to flow in.
These small, incremental shifts can have a profound impact. As you release resistance by slowly moving up the Emotional Guidance Scale, you begin to open the door to your Vibrational Escrow. It’s not about forcing big changes – it’s about allowing yourself to feel better, even if just a little bit at a time. By being patient with yourself, adjusting your perspective, and moving through your emotions naturally, you align with the well-being and desires that have always been waiting for you.
The Ripple Effect of Feeling Good
Once you make feeling good a priority, everything changes. You might notice that relationships improve, opportunities show up more easily, and life just feels smoother. That’s because feeling good is the key to everything. It’s not about “fixing” anything. It’s about allowing well-being to flow to you.
As Abraham often says, “there is nothing that you cannot be, do, or have.” The only thing keeping you from your desires is your own emotional state. When you practice shifting your mood, you allow your Vibrational Escrow to start pouring into your life. Once you start feeling better, you’ll notice that life begins to flow with more ease, and your desires fall into place naturally.
So, give yourself permission to focus on feeling good. As you do, everything you’ve been wanting will begin to show up—because the real win is in how you feel, and everything else follows.
