Belief is only a habit of thought. So the big question
might be, so how do I change my habit of thought? And
we say the only way we know that will inspire you to
change your habit of thought is when you finally HEAR
us and really GET it when we say -- the way you feel
is dependent upon what you are choosing. And when you
really mean it when you say nothing is more important
than that I feel good, then those habits will change
very quickly. But as long as you are willing to do as
your elders taught you and buck up, keep a stiff upper
lip and tolerate the negative emotions, then there is
not much likelihood that you are going to change your
beliefs.
 Abraham-Hicks Boston, MA, 10/4-5/97

Your brain is not the only thinking mechanism in your body. Every
cell of your body has a little brain.
The cells of your body have been pre-programmed to keep your body in
perfect alignment.
The cells of your body know their work better than most of you know
your work.
The cells of your body have pre-paved, pre-intended pre-conditioned
to do their work.
When we look at you. You are much more like an electrical circuit
board than anything else.
The cells of your body are talking to each other electronically. They
are vibrationally talking to each other and they are talking to the
non-physical source.
So the cells ask for what they need to keep your body in perfect
balance and the non-physical energy answers.
The cells ask and the non-physical energy answers. You call this life
force. We call it the NATURAL well being.
Now as this process is taking place. If you are basking, applauding,
appreciating then you are vibrationally not offering any resistance.
Your vibration is offered by your brain through your body is in
harmony with the non-physical energy and in harmony with the rest of
the cells. So the communication process is perfect and you thrive.
You feel great. Your body is doing very well. The object of your
attention benefits too.
But if while the cells are asking and the non-physical is answering.
If you are blaming someone if you are angry. If you are on some sort
of soapbox campaigning against some violence or something. If you are
aggravated. If you are focused on lack.
Then while the cells are doing their work and the non-physical energy
is doing its work ……….. You are offering tremendous resistance that
is not letting it happen.!!
Or not letting some of it happen Some of it gets through if it didn't
you would croak.

Losing Weight
GUEST: A couple of years ago I lost a lot of weight and I feel like I never really experienced being a size 4. And now I've put weight on again, and now I'd be happy at a size 8. And it's hard to imagine being a smaller size. I have pictures all over my house of what I looked like at a size 4, and still, when I eat, I have this thought that "Well, if I wanted to lose weight I wouldn't be eating this." So I put all that Energy into everything I do, and I haven't...I don't end up losing weight. I'm not a size 8.
ABRAHAM: Well when you have not taken the time to line up the Energy, it doesn't matter what sort of action you do or don't do. You can't buck that current. So what you must do is find the feeling place of that which you are wanting. Now, what you are saying to us is "I can't find that feeling place. I've got pictures and they don't do it for me. I've got a memory and that doesn't do it for me." And what we're really hearing you say is, "My now observation is so dominant relative to this subject that I can't even find thoughts that evoke any other feeling from me." So we say, show yourself with other subjects.
If you're really in a place where you feel paralyzed to think any differently than you've been thinking, then start with other subjects until you show yourself "Hey, I can do it with that. I can do it with that. Maybe I can do it with this."
What Does It Feel Like?
The best phrase, and if you will utilize it, you will feel Energy shift right away, is "What does it feel like to feel slender?" Or, "What does it feel like to feel prosperous?" You can put whatever word in there that is important to you. The reason that we want you to hear that, "What does it feel like to feel slender?" is because you're screaming with every fiber of your being what it feels like to weigh more than you want. In other words, you know what it feels like to feel fat. You know what it feels like to feel uncomfortable. You know what that feels like, and the Universe is taking you at your feeling projection.

Lie in your bed when the room is dark where there are no mirrors or there are no binding clothes. There's nothing to challenge the feeling. And ask yourself, "What does it feel like to feel slender. What does it feel like to be a little slip of a thing lying here in this great big bed. This slender little body lying here hardly weighing enough to even make an indentation in the mattress? What does it feel like to feel slender? What does it feel like to feel so good in my body that I just glide and float about? What does it feel like?"

BODY cont

There's power in the words "What does it feel like?" You see, you can generate the feeling just by wanting the feeling. Most of you go about it the hard way. You try to create a circumstance that will then generate a feeling response, but by going right for the feeling, the Universe will take you at your feeling vibration. The Universe doesn't ask for any justification.

If you offered a feeling of being slender, The Universe wouldn't say, "Aah, aah, aah. That's not justified. You're not slender yet." The Universe does not know whether the vibration that you're offering is because of something you're observing or something you're remembering or something that you are imagining. It just receives the vibration and answers it with things that match it. And every part of the Universe including the cells of your body begin to respond to that vibration.
