Relax Where You Are In Life

Offering from Higgins:

Relax where you are in life. Struggling will only tighten the knots of an uncomfortable life. Stop struggling. Float instead. Once you are able to relax and float you will notice a direction that seems positive and desirable. Allow yourself to gently float along in the generally positive direction.

It’s easy to do. Accept where you are and all that entails. When choice arises choose the best feeling option. Sometimes that means choosing the least worst option. Look for the best in every situation remembering that the Universe always conspires towards your greatest good.

Baseline Vibrational Level

Note: This question has previously been answered. The asker says she is still unclear and will Higgins rephrase or restate answers to the same questions.

Question:  You said that we have a base line vibratory level and that is the one we tend to fall back on when under stress (?) – did I get that correctly?  And, I can’t read my notes – and you can’t either probably ! but what I wrote was “the fall-back emotion is the easiest one to . . . . .   Then, once you have committed to making your life the best it can be, your broader self helps you meet your lower emotions head on so you can experience them fully.  Can you fill in that blank above??  or restate it in a different way that says the same thing.  Hope this makes sense.

Higgins: Each of you, and indeed all things, continually interact (or communicate or converse) with the Universe ( or God or Allah or Creator or All That Is or Source). This communication is in the form of vibration so each of you continually emits a vibration that the Universe responds to. The responses that you continually receive are experienced by you as the occurrences of daily life.

This vibration is felt by each of you as emotion so emotion equals vibration. One emotion can be experienced at a time and though one may swing very quickly up or down through the emotional range truly only one emotion may be felt and thus vibrationally offered to the Universe at any given moment in time.

Humans tend to carry what we call a baseline vibrational level. The general attitude one carries around is that baseline. For example, a person who responds to life’s situations angrily more often than not, is likely carrying a baseline emotional (vibrational) level of angry. This baseline emotion is the easiest to achieve because it is the closest.

If you will envision the emotional range as a piano keyboard, anger is in the middle range. To get to a higher emotion one would have to jump from the middle of the keyboard to the righthand end and jumps like that simply are not possible. (One slides through emotions much like a trombone slide slides in and out to reach notes.) This is why so many of you in physical respond the same way over and over again. Do you notice individuals that seem angry all the time, happy and positive all the time, or even those who seem to be victims all the time? The angry person responds in anger because anger is the closest vibration and easiest to achieve. Ditto for the generally positive person, ditto for the generally victimized person.

If you do not like how you feel then set your intent upon feeling better. Set your intent upon feeling good. As you commit to finding better emotions the Universe will offer situations to you. These situations will be experienced as life events and will bring up the deepest emotions you are needing to experience and cope with.

To ‘cope with’ an emotion simply acknowledge it. Whether it is sadness, anger or overwhelment acknowledge how you feel. It is not necessary to do anything at all about the situation itself, simply acknowledge that you feel bad. It is not even necessary to be able to name the emotion you experience. The goal is to acknowledge it. Once the emotion has been acknowledged it is possible to slip into better feeling emotions. Until the emotion is acknowledged and allowed to run its course it will fester inside you. The next higher vibration than that which you suppress will become your baseline emotion and you will be unable to move into better emotions until you do address the emotion.

You are not expected to like the negative emotion and certainly you do not want to dwell in that negativity. Simply acknowledge it and allow a better feeling emotion to surface.

A good example of this is crying. When one finally breaks down into tears over some overwhelming life situation and cries and cries the emotion is acknowledged and one soon stops crying and feels better.

In short, acknowledge how you feel then feel better or refuse to acknowledge how you feel and fester within it to the end of this life cycle.

Imagine this: you are laughing at something wonderfully funny and acknowledge your emotion saying, “I’m happy and I want to feel even better!”

Blessings upon you, Friends. You are loved.

Sprituality and Anti-Anxiety Effects

Question: Does spirituality have a positive effect on anxiety?

Higgins: Yes.

All things, whether considered animate (like people or dogs) or inanimate (like rocks, dirt and  driftwood) or even those whose animate properties are questioned (like trees and flowers), are habited by a living essence that is refered to as spirit or Spirit.

The word spirituality has come to refer (in part) to those of you physicals who are intentionally seeking some connection or understanding of the spirit that inhabits all things.

Each seeker of spirit discovers their own understanding of life and as one seeks understanding one is led inexorably towards Truth. The Truth is: there is but one thing existing anywhere. That being so, one must begin to open to the idea that each one of you is not separate but the same, there is no beginning and no end to life and that the essence that is all life is supportive.

Understanding of the interconnection of life seeps into the seeker and with that understanding one tends to relax and enjoy life, flowing within The Essence That Is. When one flows within that Essence there is a calmness, a sureness that washes away anxiety. That same steadiness erases fear and anger and all kinds of negativity, surrounding the seeker instead with an inner centeredness. This is often refered to as one’s inner light so a seeker who has come to understand the connectedness of all things and learned to flow within the Essence exudes an inner light of peace and enjoyment of life: life as life is not life as it ‘should’ be.

In that there is no room for anxiety and dark thoughts, only for great comfort and surety.

It Is Impossible to Make a Mistake

Offering from Higgins:

Mistakes are not possible. The idea of mistakes, while not unique to Earth, is unique to physical environments and is a by-product of the opportunity physical environments offer to live either in or out of harmony with the Truth of your eternal being. A ‘mistake’ is simply a learning opportunity, another chance to determine what you want and don’t want. Mistakes are only mistakes because they don’t fit the True you.

To consider a mistake a bad thing is much like trying on clothes and believing you’ve done something wrong if an item doesn’t fit. When you shop for clothes and see something you like well enough to try on, if it is too small or large you simply get another item in a different size. There is no consideration of it being a mistake, the item is simply not your size.

We would like you to think of mistakes as something you’ve tried on and is not your size. Rather than judging a thing a mistake or failure try other options until you find that which feels right to you.

This is how you are designed to flow within the Universe.

Let Go of Hard Feelings

Offering from Higgins:

Let go of hard feelings. Whatever has happened to cause you to emit hard feelings is unimportant relative to the importance of your feeling good. When you feel good and thus emit positive emotions/vibrations life sends back to you more things to feel positive about (and therefore fewer things to feel negative about).

Truly, the most important thing in physical life is that you feel good. Every move you make should feel good, or at least better and stronger than any of the alternatives. This will consistently lead you towards life experiences that are positive and fulfilling.

So let go of hard feelings.

It is easier to let go of hard feelings if  you will remember that your personal happiness is more important than any difficulty or frustration or fearful thing that can possibly ever arise AND there is a solution, a positive solution, to every situation that could possibly ever arise in your physical environment.

When you feel emotional hardness arising within you, take a moment to review what specifically is bothering you, that thing you don’t want. Then look for its opposite, the thing you do want. Focus on that instead. You will find you cannot focus positively on the thing you want and hold hard feelings at the same time. Focusing on the problem will never fix the problem. Focus instead upon relaxing within the situation so that thoughts for a solution may arise within you.

Who Are You Saying You Are?

Offering from Higgins:

The eternal, real You wears your body in the same way you wear clothes. How are you presenting yourself?

Take care with your body; the way you clothe it, the way you feed it, the way you exercise it. This is part of your outward presentation of Self to the world. Who are you saying you are?

Surviving 2012

Question: Will you comment on how best to survive 2012?

Higgins: ‘2012’ is not a date, it is a name you physicals have given to a time period. The time period is occurring now and will continue for a few more years.

The Earth is ever evolving just as you are and the Earth’s evolution has caused it to speed up its vibrational offering. The human body is closely connected to the Earth so your vibrational offering must remain harmonious with the Earth’s in order to remain physically focused here.

The body can experience a range of vibrations (think emotions when you think vibration–vibration and emotion are equal). The Earth is quickening so the lowest vibration you physicals can experience will shift to a higher point and the highest vibration you can experience will also shift to a higher point. Remember that vibration equals emotion: the highest, happiest, best emotion physicals can experience is getting higher! That’s good!

What this means, though, is that for those of you who live in emotions of depression, futility and unhappiness the Earth will not support you anymore. The Earth’s shift will force you to shift into quicker, better feeling states of being.

This is good for you because to shift like this emotionally you will have to follow your desires and in following your desires you will find happiness and enjoyment. Further, you will have to follow YOUR desires and not the desires of anyone else. You all will really like this once you get the hang of it.

In essence, to survive ‘2012’ you must follow your desires and pursue your dreams. Nice, yes?

Treat Your Body Well

Offering from Higgins:

You are not your body. Your body is yours to use for this lifetime. Treat it well. Exercise. Eat food that is nourishing. Provide it with plenty of fresh water. Most importantly, always look for reasons to be happy. It is a lifetime of anger, frustration and unhappiness that lead to mental and physical health mis-adventures as you age.

Compassion in Marriage (Part 9): Live in a Place of Compassion

Note: This is part 9 (and the final part) of Higgins’ response to a question.  Only a portion of the letter is presented here for brevity. The aspect of the question that Higgins is responding to today is bolded.

Question:

So now that I have stepped back and have taken a look at my own habits and have begun to change them, I find it a challenge to be in my husband’s company. He has the outlook that he is not appreciated, that he works too hard for no reward, and he doesn’t have a vision for his future. He always seems to have a reason why something can’t be done. I hear these words leave his mouth daily and when I try to explain to him that we shape our reality, he doesn’t hear it, and I think he doesn’t want to. I think he wants to hold onto being a victim, and I am not in that place anymore. The more I pull away from my husband (because I don’t know what else to do), the more sullen and angry he becomes, blaming me for his loneliness and unhappiness. I intend for my children to see the truth and live in a place of compassion. With their father as an example of the opposite, I’m not sure what to do.

Higgins: Now that you have gained some clarity on what it means to be physical it is natural to want to share your clarity with others. Your intent for your children to ‘see the truth’ is a very beautiful desire. Nonetheless, we wish to remind you that you and none other creates in your reality and your children (and none other) create in their respective realities. So if they wish to discover what is Truth for them they will. Your ‘job’ is to live as an example of living in Truth to stir within them a desire to live in theirs. Your ‘job’ is to embody compassion in such a profound way that you stir in them the desire to be compassion also.

You state next, ‘With their father as an example of the opposite,…’. We are certain that you will be happier, your children will be happier and certainly your husband will be happier, if your desire for him, too, is to find his Truth. Surely you do not truly wish for him to live his life as an example of the opposite. In fact, it seems your entire focus and reason for contacting us with your question is because you do not like being around your husband as he expresses that negative aspect of himself.

What we suggest you do is remind yourself regularly that each of you, every single one of you humans, is a magnificent creation. Each of you is an eternal being of loveliness. You are kind, warm, generous and loving. Any expression of negativity simply exemplifies the difficulty of the task of living in your physical realm and does not at all represent the Truth of any of you.

It will be much easier for you to feel compassion for your husband (and yourself) when you remember that. When your everyday responses come from compassion your thoughts, words, and actions will become gentler and you will slip more easily into alignment with your desires.

Compassion in Marriage (Part 8): Creating Harmony

Note: This is part 8 of Higgins’ response to this question. I have re-posted the entire letter for clarity and the part Higgins is responding to today is bolded.

Question: I read your channel on compassion and it was just what I needed to hear today.

I have a question for Higgins related to that channel. I’ve been trying to really take a look at how I view the world and watch the words that leave my mouth, understanding, as you have said, that these things shape my experiences. Well, the more I step back and look at myself, the more I see how my family has become used to being negative, and that negative outlook has skewed their vision. At first I thought it was just my husband as the source of the negativity, but now I see him as mirror to myself, and we both reflect to our children.

So now that I have stepped back and have taken a look at my own habits and have begun to change them, I find it a challenge to be in my husband’s company. He has the outlook that he is not appreciated, that he works too hard for no reward, and he doesn’t have a vision for his future. He always seems to have a reason why something can’t be done. I hear these words leave his mouth daily and when I try to explain to him that we shape our reality, he doesn’t hear it, and I think he doesn’t want to. I think he wants to hold onto being a victim, and I am not in that place anymore. The more I pull away from my husband (because I don’t know what else to do), the more sullen and angry he becomes, blaming me for his loneliness and unhappiness. I intend for my children to see the truth and live in a place of compassion. With their father as an example of the opposite, I’m not sure what to do.

So my question is, how do I maintain my viewpoint of compassion, achieve my dreams, and be a good example for my children, while living with a man who does not want the same? How do I love him when I don’t like being around him?

Higgins: It is natural that you feel this way. In changing your view-point and beliefs and then your words and actions you have shifted your emotional set point and thus the vibration you emit. His emotional set point and thus his vibrational offering have not changed. Therefore what you (and he) experience is some discord because his energetic output no longer matches yours.

You’ll want to note that he becomes sullen and angry in part because you are not behaving energetically the way he has come to expect you to. Meaning, energetically he is not getting something from your relationship that he used to get. He doesn’t understand how he draws the energy that animates him and up until now he has energetically fed off of you rather than drawing upon his own eternal connection. You’ve changed your energetic output and now he is having a harder time getting the energy he needs to feel good.

This is the reason you will sometimes feel drained in this relationship. Any time you feel frustrated, tired or drained simply ask your own source of energy to flow harmoniously through you and you will experience immediate refreshment and re-alignment that will become stronger with practice.

Remember the question we asked you first? We asked whether you wanted your marriage to succeed. We asked that because in order to succeed you will have to be the one to create a bridge for him to cross to access you energetically (as you physicals do in all relationships). Yet for your own sanity you will have to figure out how to create an energetic bridge that flows both ways. All the best co-creative relationships are built on a firm platform of solidity in one’s own energetic flow that then harmonizes with another’s energetic flow.

You will do this by gently and persistently following your heart, all the while looking for reasons to like your husband. On unseen energetic levels this will draw from him his best thus drawing him into closer vibration with the ever evolving new you.
