Learning to calibrate to your positive higher self

 Learning to calibrate to your positive higher self

By Gina Meyers

(my understanding of the Teachings of Abraham from February 8th, 2020 with a conversation with Esther Hicks.)

I am listening to the teachings of Abraham, a workshop that happened on February 8th, 2020 in San Rafael, California, which would be about a month before the pandemic really turned our world upside down.

That’s not what I wanted to share as my epiphany. The epiphany occurred at 22:11 on the youtube Part 3 workshop in which Esther is talking with a man who is a construction site foreman and he anticipated a total annihilation of his job and that not only he would be fired but that the entire project would be shut down and a lot of people would lose their jobs and the situation would be disastrous in nature. 

He decided to withdraw his upset emotion from the situation and suspend, walk away and recalibrate his feelings and high negative emotions about the situation. 

When he was able to ascertain the situation in a more positive light, he was able to place himself back into the situation. When he met with the inspector, the inspector could find absolutely nothing wrong with the project and the construction project moved along flawlessly and without any concern or hesitation. And Esther says, “it was as if it never happened.”

I propose that it is the fear of the potential looming situation and the recalibration of one’s emotional fortitude that broke the power of the situation to, “as if it never happened.”

When listening to the teachings of Abraham you see the concept, where there is no “yin” there is no “yang”, and there “cannot be a problem without a solution.”

So when you calibrate yourself to another energetic force of a positive vibration, you can compartmentalize or separate and move your vibration higher instead of focusing on the thing that is bothering you. 

In other words, if you have a sore toe and it really hurts, can you still enjoy the sunset? Can you still appreciate the love you have for others? Can you still watch a funny movie that makes you laugh?

By moving your vibration to a higher level you are recalibrating your feelings to a higher level and therefore you are able to work through the sore toe and in time move from “problem” to “solution”. 

Acknowledge to isolate the situation and not  make it a part of the BIG picture. 

Here is what Esther Hicks says: “when you are simultaneously calibrating on a problem you too are calibrating on the solution.”

You have to give yourself permission for the problems. You must disassociate yourself from the circumstance and not label yourself as wrong or bad. Evolve beyond the circumstance or situation.

So in reaching for your next good feeling thought what will it be?

Sicilian Girls: San Francisco Stories, Episode 1

 

My mom always said that San Francisco is such a beautiful city that you could fall in LOVE anywhere there.

San Francisco the city by the bay was my home.

I’m third generation Native San Franciscan and proud of it. No matter how much the city landscape changes, it always remains a vibrant, fun, picturesque city.

My grandparents met at a big band dance while my grandpa chig’s naval ship was docked at Pier 39 back in the 1940’s.

It was a night like no other. My Sicilian grandma Rose, who resembled the movie star Rosalind Russell, dressed up in her latest black tight knit dress from I Magnins.

Red lipstick, her jet black hair upturned on the ends, high heels, click clack,  headed with her sister Mary to the short walk from their parents’ flat on the corner of Mason and Lombard.

Mare and Roe what a sight. Both lookers for their day, and as they stopped by their father’s crab stand to have a bottle of coke a cola-- before the dance, they ran into their Uncle Nunzio who was working the six to midnight shift, “up the wharf.”

“Hey Mare”, Rose cried. “Wouldn’t it be neat if they played Artie Shaw’s in the mood and we danced all night with a naval officer?”

“Get your heads outta the clouds Roe,”  Mare said.

Rose ever the dreamer, was dreaming that night of finding her love and sure enough, a tall and lanky fellow by the name of Harold E. Hill, just like the main character in the play, The Music Man asked Rosalind to dance. 

North Beach is home to Saints Peter and Pauls where Joe Dimaggio and his first wife wed. You hear the church bells chime every hour. Weird part is the address: 666 Filbert Street, sounds more like the devil’s calling card then an address for a cathedral. 

Mason and Lombard is one block from the crookest street in the world, also known as  zig zag Hill, and you can hear the cables from the cable cars running all night long. With no air conditioning, the flat was equipped with wooden framed, single paned windows which rattled in the night, followed by fog horns which sounded and resounded like clock work.

Cue in the rain.

Thoughts on Reading Books by Gina Meyers

 

If there is a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.-Toni Morrison

Like what you eat, what you digest in the way of books plays a critical role in your emotional and mental health. I recently reread my cousin's small book, An Invitation to Change, and  borrowed a friend's The Four Agreements Book. Then I picked up and read a few pages of The Millionaire at Lunchtime, Suzanne Somers' Menopause Manual and then went onto the Millionaire Next Door and a fellow authors' book, the late Richard Parenti's Emotional Sobriety. So how do these things we read and digest help us navigate life? Thousands of people have lived before us and faced similar predicaments. We won't be the last and we certainly won't be the first, but we can BE the last person in our family to break the cycle of poverty, or the cycle of abuse. We can be the first to get a doctorate, or the first to learn the piano or the first to learn that life lessons aren't meant to hurt us, they are meant to teach us.
