Missed this question the first time around...

@Satori - I know you already know what I'm about to say but I thought I would write this answer here anyway for reference in case someone else comes across this question in future

The thing to bear in mind is that you can never clean up everything in your life.

And if you try, the Law of Attraction will just bring you more and more stuff to clean up anyway. You'll spend the rest of your life cleaning up and still be no better off than you were at the start :)

So the key is to clean up enough things (or clean up a single thing enough) so that you sense a feeling of relief, even just for a few moments. That feeling of relief is your opportunity to break free of the negativity and start pushing towards more positive processes - and ultimately into the Vortex.

For example, let's say you are feeling bad right now because you think your boss/spouse/child/whoever is a "jerk".

Cleaning up that single issue to the extent that you now feel like appreciating them instead of criticizing them might simply not be feasible in one session. It might be too much of a "quantum leap" in vibration for you.

But what you can do instead is clean up your vibration about them enough so that you get a tiny bit of relief from that they-are-a-jerk thought.

From that feeling of relief, you can then, perhaps, start feeling positive enough to write Positive Aspects about, say, your car (or any other unrelated topic), which you find easy to feel good about.

You need that initial relief to give you a step up because trying to write Positive Aspects about your car while you are immersed in the bad-feeling they-are-a-jerk vibration might leave you feeling even more irritated and annoyed because you would be out of vibrational range of the Positive Aspects process itself.

Once you are there, within the range of Positive Aspects, you can now stabilize for a while and write further Positive Aspects for a while (about different subjects if you wish) until you feel ready to write a Rampage of Appreciation.

Once you can write out a list of things you feel appreciative about and really feel you mean it then that's a sign you are tuned into The Vortex and you can stop all further vibrational work for the day if you wish.

I personally call that process the Advanced Focus Blocks Method and I find that, using it, it doesn't take more than 15-20 minutes maximum to go from firmly outside the Vortex to firmly inside the Vortex.

Note that being inside the Vortex is not the same as simply feeling peaceful...the Vortex is a joyful, passionate vibration, not just a calm, peaceful one.

As an interesting synchronicity, within a year or two of me starting to use this approach systematically for myself, I heard Abraham saying on a few recordings that they had advised Esther to use the processes in a similar way

i.e. Focus Wheels --> Positive Aspects --> Rampage of Appreciation (Vortex).

You can substitute your own favorite vibrational molding method to replace the Focus Wheels or Focus Blocks section but I still find that Positive Aspects leading to a Rampage of Appreciation is necessary in order to focus your feeling-good energy specifically enough to enter the Vortex.

i.e. Your Favorite Relief-Generating Method --> Positive Aspects --> Rampage of Appreciation (Vortex)

If you find you really just cannot mold yourself into the Vortex on a particular day within, say, 15-20 minutes, I wouldn't try and force it. Either take a break and come back later, try a completely different process or just give up for the day.

Giving up for the day is not as negative as it sounds because every day is chained vibrationally to the next. The vibrational efforts you make today will make tomorrow start from a different vibrational place even if you think you did not achieve much today. This is because your vibration always stays where you last left it.

Abraham once said (and I'm roughly paraphrasing from memory) that even if you meditate for 15 minutes and the first 14 minutes felt like a waste of time, and only the last minute brought you relief, then it was still a valuable meditation session because of where your vibration must now be to have sensed that relief.

The same principle applies to your vibrational molding efforts regarding bad-feeling subjects.

So, should there be a time limit on vibrational work?

I would say, no - as long as you can sense that you are gradually moving up the vibrational/emotional scale.

I think if you can sense that emotional improvement then it won't be longer than 15-20 minutes anyway before you have tuned yourself into the Vortex even if you started from an extremely bad-feeling place.

The time spent daily molding yourself into the Vortex will become much, much less as you make Vortex alignment more and more habitual, to the point where you don't need to use any process at all some days because feeling good has become so natural to you...so that you are already in the Vortex.

Once you are sure you are in the Vortex, you can stop for the day or, if you wish, you can make it easier for yourself to enter the Vortex next time by deliberately thinking further specific good-feeling thoughts so that you make the feeling of being there more habitual.
