I can really relate to your question, Kriegerd. I was exactly in the same situation... I practiced EFT and Sedona for two and a half years, with lots of blissful moments but no improvement in the physical world. I believe that the fact EFT and Sedona (like many other methods) focus on "searching and destroying" negative beliefs, makes lots of the people practicing those methods get stuck. If you are in the state of appreciation, and you are looking for something to release, then it will bring your vibration back down.

Lester Levenson who created Sedona Method, wrote himself :

The concept of lack is only in our consciousness. One must let go of it aud in its place have concepts of abundance, affluence, and well being.

When one learns, by actually experiencing it that mind is only creative, he then holds in mind only the things he wants and never takes thought for the things he does not want. Our concepts are the sum total of our thinking and most of them are now subconscious. We must, with effort, hold the right concepts until they become more powerful than the subconscious wrong concepts. Then they become the habit and take the place of the wrong concepts. When the subconscious mind is so conditioned life becomes beautiful and happy.

Man's behavior today is about 90% determined by his subconscious thinking. He is acting automatically and is determined by his past, and now subconscious, ideas and concepts. That is why he finds it so difficult to make correct thinking effective. It is necessary to persevere with correct thinking until it becomes the habit by overriding the subconscious habit.

Also in the "Master Key System", the same thing is mentioned :

The subconscious mind cannot argue controversially. Hence, if it has accepted wrong suggestions, the sure method of overcoming them is by the use of a strong counter suggestion, frequently repeated, which the mind must accept, thus eventually forming new and healthy habits of thought and life, for the subconscious mind is the seat of Habit. That which we do over and over becomes mechanical; it is no longer an act of judgment, but has worn its deep grooves in the subconscious mind. This is favorable for us if the habit be wholesome and right. If it be harmful, and wrong, the remedy is to recognize the omnipotence of the subconscious mind and suggest present actual freedom. The subconscious being creative and one with our divine source will at once create the freedom suggested.

My friend, I would stop focusing on releasing the resistance (which causes you to focus on the resistance), and instead focus on what you want - which will automatically release restistance. I suggest you start doing the Abraham meditations every day, so you develope sensitivity and start noticing during the day when you are feeling bad. Decide that the most important thing in your life for now, is to feel good, for as long as you can. And also don't forget to enjoy it:).

LOA has no exceptions. What you see around you, is the vibration you are offering. When looking for negative things to release, it's practically impossible to maintain a high, steady vibration that will materialize. It's time to really take this stuff to the next level. Good luck.

Hello,

I don't know why no one has answered your question yet, but your question seems very similar to this one below, so hope you find some of your answers there.

I think a lot of people don't realize that the vortex is a feeling place. It's seeing the world through the eyes of source with the vibration of source.

If you have been projecting a lot of negative thought and have established a reality around you that you don't like, from a lower vibration, then what happens when you first touch the vortex is often NOTHING. Bashar refers to this often as 'the test' and 'circumstances don't create your state of being' your inner vibration does.

Your circumstances often change rapidly but sometimes they don't. The difference is the feeling. Once you're in the vortex everything in your life you see through a positive lens. It doesn't matter what the subject is it could be a 'difficult' relationship, debt, living in a house you don't prefer. You still see it as good and positive and exciting.

You're happy where you are and eager for more. You know there's more coming, it will most probably drop through your letterbox today but you're absolutely super happy anyway whether it comes or not, who cares because my relationship/debt/house is just so darn wonderful. Wooooo hooooo :) for the contrast and the more that is to come.

It's very hard to explain. The closest example we have for this is children as Abraham often says. You could drop a group of children into a funeral and they will still be drawn together to play together and have fun. The parents will try to stop it but that is the childrens' instinct. That's the vortex instinct. Life's one big party of joyful fun and whatever the conditions that are in front of me, that's what I'm feeling inside.

That's FREEDOM because you can go anywhere, with anyone and have a good time. The stuff does come and it comes in avalanches but it's not needed to secure your daily good mood. You can change your mood all by yourself. You don't need to observe 'good' things to feel good. You can feel really good observing 'bad' things too. Freedom. :)

Even during the release of resistance there may still be residual negative energy or beliefs which could still have some momentum, that need to shift, in my own experience, I'm glad changes don't happen too quickly as I can adjust accordingly as my beliefs and vibrations are changing, at my own pace, resulting in smoother manifestations. Our higher selves can't give us something we're not ready for, we must be ready, a [vibrational match] and another thing that's crucial is letting go of the mind's grip because it's the very mind that ''notices'' that change hasn't happened yet, thus delaying the wanted reality. The victory occurs when the rational mind is dissolved [not entirely eliminated] and it's of no influence to your [vibrations] emotions, it has no power or hold on you allowing you more clarity, direct communication to Universal intelligence, and much smoother and faster manifestations, it's all about allowing and as uncomfortable as it can be you must ''allow'' the negative momentum to run it's course, until it's dissolved, you cannot fight [resist] it or hurry the process, however, the good news is when this occurs the positive focus becomes more dominant, resulting in positive momentum, then the more desired physical reality begins to unfold.

"Shouldn't things be changing by now?"

No, not necessarily.

In my opinion this is a failing of LOA teachings that it gets us all hyped up about how all our wishes can get fulfilled. The real journey is never about our wishes. It's about how we conduct ourselves moment by moment. My higher self has absolutely no interest in my wishes. It has one single purpose - and that purpose is to take me (eventually) to a place of 100% non-judgement. It will achieve that by whatever means necessary and I will go there, over many thousand lives if necessary, kicking and screaming and protesting - but go I will.

Traditional LOA teachings appear to suggest that my higher self is my slave - like Aladdin's genie. All I have to do is make an intention and as long as I offer no resistance, voila - my higher self has delivered my wish. But then again, the genie is unpredictable. It gives me some things exactly as I wanted, others not at all. It gives me some other things that I never asked for, dreamed of, worried about or wanted. The genie, it appears, is somewhat demented, and is probably half-deaf. If you acted like that genie in your job, you'd get fired before you can say 'genie'.

Personally, I think it's highly unlikely that my higher self - an entity that is infinite, and has infinite wisdom and infinite power - really has no opinion on where it wants me to go. As far as I am concerned my higher self decides every single thing that happens in my life. My job starts and ends at going with the flow.

Not factoring in the opinion of the higher self is a big flaw in LOA paradigm. This is why people who support this paradigm struggle to answer questions like yours. The only answers I have seen offered range from "Well you probably haven't been that good in controlling your mind" to "It's coming, just hang on for another year".
