Process for Improving One’s Life*

Offering from Higgins:

Here is a simple process for improving your life and the world around you. Pick a word that describes what you want in your life. Let’s say for example that you would enjoy a life that was more harmonious.

Each day intentionally do something that creates harmony in your household. It could be something simple such as folding the laundry or emptying the dishwasher.  The important thing is that whatever action you take the intent of the action is to create harmony in your home.

That action now repeats itself throughout the universe much like dropping a stone in a pond.  With this intentional action harmony is created in your home, your life, around your planet and indeed, throughout the universe.

What is that Hole in the Middle of My Gut?*

Question:  What causes me to feel empty inside, like I have a big hole in the middle of my gut?

Higgins:  Marvelous, brilliant! Acknowledge that hole! That center is your being-ness point. You do not communicate from your head.  Your head is much more like a receiver and a sender. True communication radiates from the body, primarily from the center of the body and most intensely from the heart. Much goes on from your head but your solid connection with all that is self (body, sense of I, and Broader Self) goes on here, in this hole. When the information sent from Broader Self in the form of emotions and impulses is responded to consistently over time that hole will fill up.

Distinction Between Body Energy and Body Vibration*

Question:  I wonder what Higgins would respond to, “Are there distinctions between body energy and body vibration?  Are they one and the same?  How do they affect/effect one another?”

Cheryl’s note:

Affect (Dictionary.com):  to act on; to produce an effect or change in.

Effect (Dictionary.com):  something that is produced by an agency or cause; result; consequence; power to produce results.

Higgins:  Indeed, body energy and body vibration are distinctly different and yet the same.  Let’s define body energy as the energy that animates the body and supports the sense of self or the sense of there being an ‘I’.  Let’s define body vibration as the vibration seemingly emitted by the body that is actually transmitted through the body.  Body vibration is unique for each individual and identifies each individual much like a fingerprint.  Body vibration is also a message from the Broader Self to the self that inhabits the body.  This message informs one how close or far one is from responding to the current life situation in their Truth.  Body vibration: the fingerprint, and body vibration: the message, are at once different and the same.

Body energy flows through the body, animates the body, provides a sense of self and is a particular meaning that defines an individual as unique.  At the same time that energy, by virtue of its unique qualities (vibration), produces emotion that informs oneself of one’s Truth relative to a particular subject.  That same vibration is also interpreted by the Universe and all that is within it, of one’s particular preference upon that same subject.

Only You Know What Is Right For You

Question:     In a previous response you said, “Keep in mind that stronger emotion produced by new thought means the thought is true for you. Each person has their own Truth and what is true for you may not be true for someone else. Only you know what is right for you and you do not know what is right for anyone else (not even your children and we’ll talk about that in another segment).”

Will you talk about that now?

Higgins:     Yes.

Humans are guided by impulse and emotion. If impulse occurs in an animal it is called instinct. Emotion is offered to each person by their Eternal Self. Emotion is offered upon every thought, word or action from the moment of birth until death.

Humans are animated and illuminated by their Eternal Self. The energetic flow, very generally, begins above the head and grounds a person in the Earth just below the feet. As long as that energetic flow is uninterrupted the emotional guidance is easy to interpret and impulses lead to harmonious action. Children are born this way.

Each person receives communication from their Eternal Self relative to an agreement made before birth. This agreement regards what sort of person you are going to be, what things you will like and how you wish to present yourself. Anytime negative emotion is experienced you have in some way stepped outside of the agreed upon parameters and that negativity is saying, “Oops! Wrong way. Try again.” Positive emotion simply says, “Yes! You are right on target. Keep going this way.”

It is rather like the game Hot and Cold. “You’re getting warmer. Warmer. Hot! You’ve found it!”

Each of you, and that includes your children, have this system guiding them towards a life of delight. Following this personalized system always leads towards happiness, satisfaction and prosperity but what is right for one may not be right for another. What feels good to a person was determined prior to their birth and nothing anyone else can say or do will ever change that.

That is why we say,” Only you know what is right for you and you do not know what is right for anyone else not even your children.”

The best a parent can do is un-kink their own hose. Begin living in harmony with Self and show your children how to live in harmony with their own Self. A parent can rest easy knowing that a child in harmony with Self will thrive, make good decisions and develop a fulfilling life.

Elevating Thinking

Question:    How can I elevate my thinking?

Higgins:     We’ll respond to this question as if ‘elevate my thinking’ means that you wish to think thoughts that are vibrationally faster thus feel better.

When your thoughts spiral downward emotion plummets and it may be very difficult to know which is the leader, the thoughts or the emotions. It really doesn’t matter. What matters is that you make a conscious decision to feel better. Once the decision is made to feel better the tendency is to immediately begin searching for thoughts that feel better. That is the elevated thinking you refer to but there’s a trick to changing the direction of thought and we’ll explain it.

In order to stop the downward spiral of negativity one must first acknowledge their current emotional situation. To do that simply acknowledge that where you are feels bad, uncomfortable or somehow not right. It is not necessary to label the emotional location with ‘sad’ or ‘angry’. Sometimes it simply is not possible to do so. It is enough to feel the emotion that is being offered. Simmer in it for a moment. When you feel in this way, allowing the emotion to roll through you fully, you are paving a foundation from which to emotionally spring back. When you do not fully acknowledge the emotion flooding through you there is no solid platform from which to bounce.

Imagine you are in an elevator that is plummeting downward, out of control. Since you are falling as fast as the floor you cannot achieve purchase upon the elevator floor to jump up. This scenario defies the Law of Gravity in the same way that attempting to change the direction of your thinking without first fully recognizing the emotion you currently hold defies Universal Law.

Once you’ve stopped the downward spiral of negative thought by simply acknowledging how bad you do feel it takes but a few moments of simmering there before more positive thoughts start to trickle into your mental awareness. While sometimes the thoughts that come will swing you right back up into an enthusiastic mental attitude it is much more common to reach only a few steps higher than you were before.

This is an important understanding because many of you try the process of choosing positive thought but are unable to climb as high in your positive thinking as you expect of yourself. Remember that although you can swing emotionally like a pendulum you are only capable of stabilizing one or two emotional ranges higher or lower than your emotional set point. That is why it sometimes feels as though you’ve sought a higher emotion in all the ‘right’ ways but feel as though you have not succeeded.

If you are trying to climb from an emotional set point of misery into happiness in one swoop it will simply defy Universal Law and you will fail. Instead, use the tools you’ve learned to climb as high as you can then be happy if as high as you can is nowhere near what you hoped it would be. Relax. Everything is ok and working in a natural rhythm. Keep practicing. Over time you will find this process becomes easy and that it is quite natural to feel good  most of the time.

Throwing Things Away

Question:     I have a hard time throwing things away.

Higgins:     Many of you do.

Each of you has a source of energy for illumination and animation. The human body primarily runs this energy from just above the head to the same distance below the feet. (This is a generalization, energy flow is complex.) In the day-to-day jumble of life each person makes energetic connections with people, places and things.

Often when a person is complete with the object, let’s use an old towel for example, the energy connection from person to towel is so strong that the person feels some loss of energy in letting the towel go.

First realize the towel has a life of its own that it needs to live out. When its useful days as a towel are over it has a natural desire to either be re-purposed (perhaps as a rag) or to move to a new household. If the towels is very worn it may be tired and ready to begin its days of decomposition and subsequent return to earth.

Also know ye that Earth is a sentient being. Of course it is happiest when you are in love with it and treat it with respect and kindness. Passing on a towel to a landfill to continue its life cycle will not hurt Earth. As mankind shifts and expands in consciousness new and better methods to process refuse will be developed. However today you need worry not about sending that towel out in the trash.

With those two understandings your personal next step is to learn a simple technique. Each time a relationship is complete (ends), a negative personal interaction occurs, an objects usefulness to you wanes or your physical location changes, remember to request that your energy come with you. Thank the relationship for the learning it provided, thank the negative interaction for providing clarity, thank the item for its usefulness and thank the place for its safe harbor. Bless these things as your energy returns to you and they proceed on their respective journeys.

With practice you will find that letting things go feels natural,  like the ebb and flow of the tide.

Gaining new things and letting old objects go is a natural progression for man. Mankind is designed to ever evolve. This means you are designed to want and forever want again. You will never be satisfied because you are designed for growth. Developing balance between holding and letting go is desirable and well worth practicing.

Relax Into Your Own Well-Being

Question:     How does one relax into their own well-being?

Higgins:     Practice is the key to relaxing into well-being.

The natural, normal state for humanity is well. Physical and mental well-being is the birth-right of humans and of all things upon the earth. Each of you is born possessing the capacity to thrive and indeed, to achieve anything you can dream up.  If you are not thriving then in some way you (and only you) are holding yourself separate from your own well-being.

While it is true that the perception of others can sculpt or mold the life you create for yourself this only happens when you yourself allow their opinions or beliefs about you or the world around you to alter your creating.

For example, inspiration strikes and you decide to quit your job and start your own business. If you will begin sharing your idea with friends who support the idea it is much easier to develop a plan and make progress. If, however, you share with friends who do not support your idea it is likely your idea will fall flat very quickly and never come to fruition…for you… (someone else may pick up on it and do it later, but not you).

Let’s offer some understanding about creating. Life is created by thought, your thoughts, the thoughts of those around you and the thoughts of your predecessors. The actual day-to-day life you live has been created with your thoughts (what you think about) and your emotions (how you feel about what you think about). The life you create is most often colored by the thoughts and beliefs of those around you.

The greater parameters of the social system you live within have been created long before your birth by the thoughts and beliefs of those who preceded you. In essence, you are living in a matrix of thought form put forth by your forefathers. It is much easier to allow oneself to slide along in the already established thought matrix than it is to hold steady in new thought. Importantly, new thought (whether it comes immediately to fruition or not) creates the matrix for the next generation so someone will eventually succeed in bringing your thoughts to fruition.

Our knowing is that each of you is capable of bringing to fruition anything you can think up and the way to do this is by relaxing emotionally. Each time you clench up inside, the way you do when jealousy, indecision, anger or fear strikes, a barrier is effectively erected between you and your natural well-being. Bless yourself in these moments, “I bless this feeling of uneasiness that has sprung forth within me.” Relax into your discomfort. Quiet your mind to allow the necessary next thoughts to flow.

Thoughts such as, “I thought this was such a good idea! It is so irritating when that person talks so negatively about my idea.” Followed by, “It is a good idea. It’s a good idea for me, just not for him.” Then, “I am sure I can do this and would like to surround myself with more positive thinkers, people who uplift me to be the best I can.” These sorts of thoughts move your emotional output into something that feels better. When you feel a little better tell yourself, “I choose to flow in harmony with the achievement of my desires.”

This is the time to relax. Meditate, take a walk, listen to music or do whatever soothes you for you have moved from negative thought and emotion into positive thought and emotion and there is nothing more you can do.  Once relaxed, the mind then has the opportunity to receive impulses from your Broader aspect as well as your Spirit Guides. These impulses and inspirations will direct your next thought and action and this will always move you towards your desires… your desires rather than through the matrix of other people’s beliefs and thoughts.

In this way, you literally relax into positive thought and action which always leads you straight into your own well-being.

When you relax in this way all thought and action bubble forth from your Source of Eternal Wisdom. Thought and action that are in harmony with Eternal Wisdom can only produce harmony in your life and the world. When you live in harmony this way the emotions that surface guide you towards all manner of life experience that are pleasing. Since ill-health is not pleasing, ill-health will not be a part of your experience. Since financial hardship is not pleasing it will not be a part of your experience. The job you attract will be satisfying, relationships fulfilling…all of life will smooth out when you simply relax.

This is a topic we would like to develop. We encourage questions upon this topic.

What is Emotional Hardness?

Question:     What is emotional hardness?

Higgins:     Emotional hardness is experienced when one holds themselves out of the Universal Flow.

There exists a flow of energy, like a river or a stream. This energetic flow is the thing that Is in the Universe. Each of you has complete freedom of choice here in this physical realm meaning you have the choice to flow with the stream or against the stream. All things that occur with the stream occur easily, naturally, without fuss or effort. All things that occur against the stream require effort and are uncomfortable.

A person who is emotionally hard is one who consistently holds themselves aloof from the Flow. Life for this person is generally hard and without much ease and pleasure. Further, for this person the future does not appear to be better than the now. That makes for a depressing outlook and a person who is emotionally hard has steeled themselves against the disappointment of the life they live.

We understand why and how a person becomes emotionally hard. We also know that unless that person relaxes emotionally life will not get easier.

It seems a little backwards to many. Seemingly, if life’s events caused a person to respond by developing emotional hardness then shouldn’t a change in life’s events towards easier and smoother allow a shift back towards emotional softness and flow?

It may seem that way however the Universe itself does not work this way. Instead, emotional relaxation causes a shift in the Universal Flow such that nicer more pleasant things come and the arrival of such makes further relaxation easier. In this way it is a positive feedback loop, always encouraging relaxation and (in a way) punishing emotional hardness.

The pummeling a human can take is quite astounding. You are resilient creatures, however eventually one who holds themselves in the emotionally hard place will cave in to anger and depression, developing negative health issues. While it takes a good long time, this road eventually leads to death.

Those of you who relax into your own well-being are happier. You thrive. Good health, longevity and prosperity are yours. So few of you do this fully that it is not much in your consciousness to do so. Nonetheless, this particular road leads to the sort of extended longevity the Bible talks about.

When Your Heart Is Happy

Question:     What does it mean when my heart is happy?

Higgins:     Imagine that you are in a comfortable raft floating along in a stream. As long as you choose to flow downstream in the raft life is easy. There is very little work to do because the flow of the stream pushes you along at a pleasant rate. From time to time a little steering is necessary but other than that all that is required of you is to enjoy the time spent floating on the water.

Should you decide to change direction and go upstream immediately the work involved becomes notable. Now paddling is required and that can be very strenuous. Additionally, you can never stop paddling or you will float back downstream.

That is a simple analogy of life in the physical realm. There is a flow of energy and you either flow with it or struggle against it.

When you feel happy it means you are flowing in harmony with the Universal Flow. When you feel in any way out of sorts you are, in some way, paddling against the Stream of Life.

That’s all there is to it. If you feel good you are flowing with Life Itself and if you do not feel good you are holding yourself out of the Universal Flow.

To respond specifically to the question, “What does it mean when my heart is happy?”, we must delve into the human body. The brain is much like a receiver and transmitter while the heart is the decoder or communications specialist. The heart translates information received by the brain into emotion and that is why it sometimes feels as though your heart itself is happy (or breaking).

When A Comment Makes People Turn Against You

Question:     Higgins, what happens when a comment I make causes people to turn against me?

Higgins:     Unseen forces steer the goings on of Planet Earth and all the Universe. Imagine a web of energy running every possible direction. This is what you exist within and everything occurs within this web. This web is sometimes called the matrix.

Let’s further envision this web as magnetic and each of you is drawn along magnetic lines. You cannot help being drawn along these lines for this is how the Universe works.

When something negative happens it means that you’ve been drawn magnetically into this negativity. Just as easily the matrix can draw positive experience. The difference between being drawn into positive versus negative experience is your personal energetic offering prior to the positive or negative experience.

Let’s say for example that you are headed to meet a few friends for coffee but you’re feeling just a little off today. The reason doesn’t matter but the energetic frequency  you emit does. When you are off kilter emotionally this energy is emitted to the Universe. The Universe responds by (magnetically) drawing you through the matrix towards experiences equal to the energy you are emitting.

Any number of negative things can occur depending upon the emotion you carry. For this example let’s say that the world seems heavy and unfriendly today. When you open your mouth to speak you simply cannot help but utter words that could be misconstrued or found by others to be somehow offensive. If they themselves are in a  good mood the Universal matrix will draw them towards hearing the best in what you had to say. Otherwise, it is likely they will take offense and you may feel that your comment caused people to turn against you.

This is easily solvable. Each morning spend a few minutes setting your intent for the day. Your thoughts may run like this:

I would like my day to flow smoothly and easily. I wish to speak my truth with kindness. I choose to engage in positive interaction with those I meet today and every day. I choose to remain centered in my personal Truth although the world may seem crazy around me.

We encourage you to customize this for your own happiness and satisfaction. When you are able to remain stable and centered in your own Truth you will less often be drawn into uncomfortable situations. This takes some practice and undoubtedly there will be times when you feel you’ve done all the ‘right’ things to set up a pleasant day and still negativity pops in. We assure you that with practice and persistence life will smooth out and every day will be easier, brighter and more fulfilling.
