It's a difficult business answering "out of the Vortex" questions because you won't hear an "In-The-Vortex" answer when you are there - it will just sound like "blah, blah, blah" :)

But then once you're in your Vortex, you won't need any answers from anyone else because your own unique answers will be obvious to you, and you will easily understand how all the "In-The-Vortex" answers already on this website relate to your situation.

Makes providing a useful answer a bit tricky, huh? :)

So, really, all I can offer you right now that isn't going to sound like Stingray doing his usual "blah, blah, blah" are a few suggestions on how to streamline Manifesting Experiment 4 to make it more effective for you.

These are some ideas that I am playing around with right now and getting interesting results with, so even if it does sound like "blah, blah, blah" to you at this moment, it might still be useful to someone else...

• Idea 1: For the vast majority of issues, you can reduce the entire Manifesting Experiment 4 process to just Step 1, Step 2 & Step 3 only...just completely ignore Steps 4, 5, 6, 7 but still do the Positive Aspects element at the end. I find that skipping those steps keeps the negative emotional state more intensely focused - and thereby easier to "clean up" because I'm more targeted on it.

  Also, don't spend too long trying to come up with the answers to those questions. Just go for the "big stuff" that comes to mind immediately. This analysis process literally only takes me a few minutes. Don't be concerned that you'll miss something important because, even if you do and part of your issue still remains, the issue you are dealing with will resurface automatically when you apply Idea 3 below i.e. when you do your daily list.

• Idea 2: When doing the "clean up" using your preferred method (for me, it's Faster EFT), if you find that simply tapping on the emotions or the negative statements is not shifting anything then try a different approach. Just start at the top of your head and gradually move your attention down your body.

  As soon as you come across any tense or bad-feeling area within your body, just tap while concentrating on that tenseness or negativity. Your only goal here is to eventually end up with an overall neutral/good-feeling body from head to toe. At no point are you concentrating directly on your issues. However, once you have neutralized any tenseness / negativity within your physical body, you should find that your issues have been neutralized also.

• Idea 3: Every morning (ideally), sit down and write out on paper (though I prefer mind-mapping on a computer myself) anything that is bothering you right then. This is not a list of everything that has ever bothered you, just things that are bothering you at that exact moment. Again just go for the "big stuff" that comes to mind within a few minutes. Completeness is not important here, you are just trying to bring the most troubling things to mind at that moment, and that should come pretty easily.

  Now pick the most troubling item you can find on your list and clean it up using the Manifesting Experiment 4 process. If you are using the streamlined process mentioned above, it won't take long. Then just go about your day.

  Tomorrow morning, make another list of things that are bothering you at that moment on a completely new sheet of paper (or new mind-map). It could now be that many of the things that were bothering you today are no longer bothersome because your "core" vibrational cleanup (from Manifesting Experiment 4) has had the side-effect of cleaning those up also.

  So your list tomorrow might be very different from your list today, or it might not. But tomorrow do the same thing again...pick the single most bothersome item, spend a few minutes cleaning it up and just get on with your day.

  Once you have reached the point that nothing seems to bother you any more in the moment of doing the list. think about the events of the day so far and see if you can come up with anything. If that's clear, scan the significant events of the whole of yesterday for a few moments. If that's clear, scan the significant events of last weekend, or your last day at work. If that's clear, scan the significant events of your last holiday, or last period of time off from what you normally do. If that's clear, scan the significant events of the last year.

  I wouldn't go back any further than a year. If, after that, you are still struggling to come up with things that are bothering you then that's a pretty good place to be living your life from :)

  Just keep going with this process every morning for a few minutes, always picking the single most troubling item to tackle only, and see where that leads you. I'm getting some quite interesting results with this approach. I'm still testing it but I like it a lot so far :)
