Hitting The High Notes
So there’s this Vortex, to use Abraham-Hicks terminology. It’s an extraordinary font of energy—organized, creational energy that holds everything asked for by everyone.
I think of the Vortex as a sort of energy clearinghouse where everything that’s asked for is given, where every request is put into place in a cooperative way for the good of all who are asking. EVERYTHING asked for, from a better tasting toothpaste to the vastest monetary fortune imaginable, is given in the Vortex.
Obviously, the Vortex is the place to be.
And how do we get there?
We all know the answer to that one, right?
We get there by releasing resistance, by aligning with Source … in a nutshell, by feeling good.
If you really commit to staying aware of your energy, to really knowing whether or not you feel good (don’t laugh—most people in our society are not conscious of how they feel), you can almost discern a pleasurable elastic pulling sensation when you are sucked into the Vortex. At times, I swear I almost hear a THWAWCK sound too.
And in the reverse, when you’re disgorged from the Vortex, you can feel that too. I experience “devortexization” (like my new word?) as a sudden energy plummet. This enervation is generally accompanied by muscle tension (hence my About Face technique) and for me, a sudden desire to eat something with no known nutritional value.
But remaining in the spirit of Fun, Fun, Fun, since I had my Riding the Rapids epiphany, my number one priority has been looking for ways to flip the switch on my energy and vibration. I need as many ways to do this as possible because I am living some pretty strong contrast right now. My “what is” is compelling to my pay-attention-to-the-physical-reality trained mind.
Even Abraham-Hicks has noted that it’s much easier to get into and stay in the Vortex before you manifest something lousy. For that reason, law of attraction coaches and writers who have never created much of a mess, whose biggest “problems” are an extra 10 pounds of body fat, a need to double their six figure income, and a desire for more travel or fame or whatever, don’t impress me much. It’s relatively easy to manifest wonders when 90 percent of your “what is” reality is already wonderful. The great stuff you have now, if you appreciate it, is the springboard to even better things.
But what of those of us powerful creators who, in our earnest efforts to understand the law of attraction, managed to focus more on lack than on abundance and created big, big messes? It takes a bit more finesse to find ways into the Vortex when your “what is” is 90 percent unpleasant and 10 percent pleasant.
Because I’m in that 90 percent unpleasant place, I’ve made it my intention to find as many ways to feel good as possible, and the law of attraction has responded to my intention with many fun methods.
My latest method is singing.
The High Note Method Of Revortexization
I’ve always enjoyed singing, but most of my singing was always done when I was alone in the car or the shower. A few years ago, though, Tim (my hubby, a talented singer and musician, graduate of the Army School of Music) talked me into joining the community choir he directed. Tim informed me that I’m a tenor, and he explained that I would be singing harmony. I’d never sung harmony before.
But I learned how, and I discovered that not only am I good at learning and remembering harmony notes, I love doing it. Whenever I was singing, I felt good. All thoughts of negative circumstances fell away.
The choir is no more (long, very non-Vortexy story, so I’ll skip it), and for the last couple years, I’ve been so caught up in the yuck of “what is” that I haven’t even remembered to sing much.
But in answer to my request for more fun, the law of attraction popped a song into my head: “On Top of the World” by the Carpenters. Yes, I thought. That’s how I want to feel.
So I tweaked the lyrics a little to refer more to abundance than love, and I began singing that song dozens of times a day. Then law of attraction nudged me with another song—“Believe It Or Not,” the theme from Greatest American Hero. I tweaked those lyrics too: “Believe it or not, I’m walking on air, I’ve always wanted to feel this free …”
Tim started singing along with me, and now he’s going to write me harmony lines for these two songs, and I’m going to sing harmony to his base melody.
Singing launches me into the Vortex every time. If I feel myself going low (low energy, low on the emotional scale), I can get higher and higher with singing. What works for me is not just music but singing. Just listening to music doesn’t quite do it for me. I need to sing, and I need to know the lyrics, or better yet, rewrite the lyrics to fit what I want to be saying. This focused singing releases resistance in an instant.
Not everyone responds to singing, but if you’re at all musical, you might give my High Note method of “revortexization” (as opposed to devortexization) a try.
1. Pick an upbeat song. If you’re looking for some uplifting songs, check out Ducky’s Joyful Springer channel on Blip.fm. She’s a Vortexy DJ, and she blips feel good songs.
2. Look up the lyrics online (search the song name plus lyrics).
3. Change the lyrics as needed to say what you want to say.
4. Practice singing your version of the song until you’ve memorized the lyrics.
5. Sing your song any time you start to feel yourself being pulled out of the Vortex.
This is a really fun process that acts like a big old eraser, wiping out the siren song of “what is.”

HARMONY could use a good tenor . . . and base
You know I had to go there!

I give you BIG points for sticking with your vision, Nancy.
To my other readers, Nancy was in that choir Tim directed, and she and a few other singers formed a group called Harmony after the fiasco I won’t talk about. Since then, Nancy has been, let’s see, gently encouraging Tim and I to become involved with Harmony, and we’ve had a list of reasons why it’s not a fit for us at the moment. Nancy, bless her, hasn’t given up.

What a great video and post, Ande! I like singing too although I’m mostly an in-the-car-while-driving singer. Instead of listening to the radio with all the commercials, I listen to favorite CDs and tapes, many of which my daughter made for me with my favorite songs on them, and sing or hum along. But I need constant reminders like the video to get in the vortex, so thanks for including it in this post (listening and singing to the O’Jays “Love Train” from your Blip site as I write!)

Glad you enjoyed the post and video, Patrice. I’ve watched that video a few times. It’s a great pick-me-up. Glad you found something to sing along too on Ducky’s blip.fm channel too.

Haha — love the words you’ve coined: devortexization and revortexization. How perfect.
I may have mentioned that we’ve incorporated a singing component into our Abraham-Hicks discussion meetings. Joe, our “music director,” brings his Bose CD player, and we sing a happy song or two from a songbook I’ve compiled with lyrics from the Internet. Joe has made CDs of our songs for people to enjoy at home and brush up on. One of our happy songs is, ta-da, the Carpenters’ “On Top of the World.”
Happy songs get us in such a good/laughing mood at our meetings, and I so agree that singing can be a wondrous source of joy.

Great minds, Karen.
I’d love to see your song list sometime if you’re willing to share. Ducky needs happy songs to blip.
