Excellent answer @Stingray. Just to expand on this a bit, Martin Boroson talked about this in a one-moment meditation lesson.

I want you to consider the first moment you wake up in the morning- the very first moment you wake in the morning.

Most of the time, when you wake up in the morning, in that very first moment, you are open and innocent-a blank state, as if during the night you had completely forgotten about yourself and returned to a place of pure possibility.

And then, in the next moment, you remember, it all comes flooding in. You remember all your hopes and fears, stresses and strains and you remember the day ahead of you. In other words, your innocent soul puts on a body that's worn down by time and experience and that feeling of pure possibility is gone. So you face the day, not with an open mind, but with a host of expectations based on your expectations, even though you can't possibly know what will happen.

But what if you could stop yourself from putting on that set of creaky old set of expectations? What if you could live from that attitude of innocence- an attitude of "no attitude"- all throughout the day?

Being in the Vortex is easy; it is when we resist and step outside the Vortex that is difficult. We are all constantly shifting outside and back into our Vortex every day. Esther Hicks is, Darryl Anka is -- all of us are. To understand the preferred vibration of the Vortex we must step outside of it. It is important to be aware of how one FEELS in any given moment; this is the clear indication of whether one is in one's Vortex or outside it. We cannot experience love without experiencing hate. We cannot experience pleasure without experiencing pain. We cannot experience order without experiencing chaos.

Ultimately, we cannot experience Oneness without experiencing disconnection from Oneness.

The biggest challenge is that we are in a co-creational reality, filled with all sorts of different energies and consciousnesses that are not necessarily our own, but which we are all connected to and have access to. Through the Law of Free Will we are challenged by the presence of all these different energies and consciousnesses and are faced with the choice to gravitate towards these energies and consciousnesses or not. Through the Law of Attraction, when we allow ourselves to gravitate towards a particular energy or consciousness, we move into the vibrational frequency of such. When we are in a particular vibrational frequency we attract experiences, 'reality', etc. OF that vibrational frequency.

Often, being OUTSIDE one's Vortex is the best way of recognising what one's Vortex is, and the preferred state one wishes to be in. Be aware of your feelings at any given moment. Reflect on those feelings afterwards. Be objective and visualise the energy you gravitated to, emitted and shaped your then NOW moment.

The thoughts of Human Beings are second to none in this Universal construct. We carry within our energy signatures Universes far more vast than the one we are currently incarnating into.

@Stingray mentioned habit creation above.

I'm fascinated with this topic and I believe it's the key to being happy (and extraordinary manifestations) long-term.

When we don't create habits, we'll usually only try to get into the Vortex when we are in pain (i.e. something very unwanted happens in life). But once the pain lessens, we'll slide back until something very unwanted manifests again. And this cycle can go on and on and on...without ever having lasting success.

But once we create habits, we no longer depend on unwanted things to get into the Vortex. We do it automatically...and easily. We become pro-active instead of being re-active to circumstances.

However, there seems to be a price to pay for successful habit creation. Meaning there will be inner resistance to habit change in the process. And here is what challenges to expect in the period of 21-30 days. (I've first learned this from a Marketer called Eben Pagan)

Phase I is the first ten days

This period of time is very difficult. It's like launching a rocket. Almost all of the rocket's fuel is needed to break free of the gravitational pull aka old habits. One burns a lot of will power in this phase.

Phase II consists of days eleven through twenty

Even though there is no gravitational pull and this phase is much easier than Phase I, one can still feel active resistance and old thinking patterns that are still trying to survive.

Phase III - Acclimatization to new habits

One gets used to the new habit. It becomes magnetic and automatic. One feels naturally drawn to the new habit.

So the "defying gravity" part is very challenging indeed. However it's not impossible to do a 10 minute routine daily for 30 days in a row.

your belief says your not in the vortex enough and your reality keeps reflecting that.

Lack attracts Lack and Gratitude attracts Gratitude.

Be thankful for the times you were there instead and imagine being there NOW and feeling that energy state.
