Find The Feeling Place
by Jerry and Esther
Hicks
When to Use the finding the feeling-place
Process:
• When you want to improve a situation.
• When you want more money.
• When you want a better job.
• When you want a happier relationship.
• When you want a better-feeling body.
This Finding the Feeling-Place Process
will be of the most value to you when your Emotional Set-Point is
ranging somewhere between: pessimism and anger.
Because you are generally giving much more
attention to the aspects of your life that you are living right now,
whatever you are living is carrying more vibrational weight, so to
speak, than what you are desiring or imagining. In other words, if you
have a desire to be slender even though you are considerably overweight
at the moment, the aspects of your now experience are probably
outweighing the vibrations of your visualizations.
Often people will say, “I’m not happy over
here. I wish I could be over there.” But when asked what it is about
over there that they desire, usually they will just explain to you what
is wrong with being over here. Even though they use words such as, “I
want to be over there,” or “I want what is over there,” their vibration
is much more about over here where they now stand than about where they
want to be.
As in our “gas gauge” example of how
unhelpful it would be for you to put a “Happy Face” sticker on your
dashboard to cover the empty tank indicator, in like manner there is no
value in using happy-sounding words if you do not feel happy. The Law of
Attraction is not responding to your words, but instead is responding to
the vibrations that are radiating from you. It is quite possible for you
to use all the right-sounding words at the same time that you are in a
state of powerful resistance to your own Well-Being, for the words you
use are not important – how you feel is what matters.
The Finding the Feeling-Place Process is
most helpful in making sure that you are radiating a vibration that will
serve you, for this is a process that will help you realize what you are
actually attracting. It is one of using your imagination to pretend that
your desire has already come about and that you are now living the
details of that desire.
As you focus upon what it feels like to be
living your desire, you cannot, at the same time, be feeling the absence
of your desire, so with practice, you can tip the scale, so to speak, so
that even though your desire has not yet actually manifested, you are
offering a vibration as if it has and then it must.
Again, the Universe does not know if you
are offering your vibration because you are living what you are living
or because you are imagining that you are living it. In either case, it
answers the vibration and the manifestation must follow.
For example, let us say that you go to
your mailbox and you find the second notice of another unpaid bill and
as you open the envelope, you feel very uncomfortable because, right
now, you do not know how you are going to pay it. This bill is already
overdue and there are several other overdue bills, so you feel
overwhelmed and discouraged. “1 want more money,” you say. “I want a lot
more money;” you say, with even more emphasis. But you are offering
empty, hollow words – that have no impact on your point of attraction
whatsoever – because your words are not your point of attraction. Your
point of attraction is your practiced vibrational offering and the way
you feel is the real indicator of what your point of attraction is.
Right now you are pulsing with emotions that clearly match your state of
not having enough money.
Your goal, in this process, is to conjure
images that cause you to offer a vibration that allows money. Your goal
is to create images that feel good to you. Your goal is to find the
feeling-place of what it would be like to have enough money, rather than
finding the feeling-place of what it is like to not have enough money.
Now, you could remember a time when you
had more money; or even a time when, even though you did not necessarily
have more money, at least you were not feeling the stress of too many
bills. And when you find that memory, try to remember as many details as
possible in order to try to feel it even more.
You could pretend that you have more money
than you have any sensible use for; pretend that you have so much money
you do not know where to keep it all and imagine you have tons of it in
the pantry and under the bed. See yourself going to the bank with
buckets of change that you are converting to dollar bills. See yourself
taking $5, $10 and $20 bills and having them converted to $100 bills,
just for sake of more efficient storage.
You could pretend that you have a credit card with an unlimited balance
that is easily paid, a sort of magic card that you use several times
every day because it is very efficient and then, once a month, you
casually write a check that pays for all of the charges you have
incurred. Pretend that the ratio of your money in the bank to this
month’s credit card balance is so great that paying the bill is
inconsequential to your experience.
The more often you play this Finding the
Feeling-Place Process the better you will be at playing it and the more
fun it will become. When you pretend or selectively remember, you
activate new vibrations and your point of attraction shifts. And when
your point of attraction shifts, your life will improve regarding every
subject for which you have found a new feeling-place.
