Getting into the Vortex — Guided Meditation CD & User Guide

 

 

I was very excited when Hay House Publishing sent me Getting Into The Vortex — Guided Meditations CD and User Guide to review on my blog! Why? Because I enjoy listening to CDs by Abraham-Hicks. To help you understand why I recommend this book and CD, I will tell you a little bit about how I discovered Abraham-Hicks.

I've been listening to CDs by Abraham-Hicks since April 2005 when I attended my first all-day workshop with Esther and Jerry Hicks at the Las Vegas "I Can Do It!" conference. The workshop was inspiring and uplifting. Being there all day was an awesome and fun experience. It was a combination of the workshop and the book Ask and It Is Given that inspired me to try doing 15 minutes of meditation each morning. They suggest you set a timer for 15 minutes, sit in a comfortable chair, in comfortable clothes, with your eyes closed and just focus on your breathing. I thought I would just try it one time because I like having my eyes open so I can see what's all around me but I found the 15 minutes of relaxed breathing with my eyes shut feels wonderful.

The reason I decided to go to the workshop was because I had read Ask and It Is Given, which was the first book Hay House published by Abraham-Hicks. The fact that Hay House had published the book and Wayne Dyer had written the introduction inspired me to read it. Ever since then I've kept Ask and It Is Given on the shelf next to where I write every morning.

The words in Ask and It is Given always uplift me. If you haven't read it, I recommend that you do because it will help you understand how Law of Attraction works. The book also helps you get to know Esther and Jerry Hicks who have been leading the Abraham-Hicks workshops since 1985.

Getting into the Vortex — Guided Meditations CD and User Guide is wonderful. I love listening to the CD. The book is a great reference guide to support the CD. As it says in the preface, by Jerry Hicks, it is tempting to just listen to the CD but he recommends reading the "General Well-Being" part of the User Guide before you begin to listen. For people who are new to the teachings of Abraham-Hicks, it would be a good idea to take his advice and begin reading first. But my guess is that you'll be curious and want to put the CD in your player and start. If you do decide to listen first, you'll want to go back and read the User Guide later to help you more clearly understand what they are teaching.

I have to be honest. It says NOT to listen to the CD in your car — because it is to be used for meditation. But I wanted to re-listen to the CD before writing my review and decided to listen to it (with my eyes open!!) while driving to visit a friend who lives about 45 minutes away. What I found is that it was enjoyable to listen to the soft music and Esther's soothing voice and words while I was driving. While it's not how it was meant to be used, I think it could help people feel more calm while they are behind the wheel. Plus, since we all spend so much time in our cars, it is a way to hear the CD more often. If you do decide to listen while in your car, please do it when you are fully awake because it is relaxing!

This wonderful new book and meditation CD are perfect for listening to at this time of year! In fact, the first printing of it sold out before I even got a chance to write this review! The good news is that Hay House expects to have more in stock around December 22, 2010. Also, you might want to check the various links, below, to see if they are currently available. If you have to wait, you'll still be glad you ordered them. Listening to the CD feels wonderful.

I feel certain listening to the CD will help you feel good and align you with your heart's desires. There are four 15 minute meditations on the CD. They focus on the following four topics:

General Well-Being
Financial Abundance
Physical Well-Being
Relationships

I would love to hear your feelings after you get a chance to experience it.

I have 3 of the Abraham-Hicks books and am reading a 4th. The books are life-changing so I was very excited when I received The Vortex cds as a gift. The messages on the cds are really good but I find the rhythm of the background music very distracting because there's no regular beat. Also, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the timing of when Esther says to breathe in and out. The end result is that I focus on something I perceive to be on the negative side rather than absorbing the message itself. Perhaps if I didn't have a musical background these things wouldn't bother me.

I have to admit I'm curious why they produced the cds in a way that seems to be inferior. They certainly have the means to do a quality job. Maybe there's a reason? Anybody have an idea of what that reason might be?

Well, I have to laugh - at myself.... Just found a YouTube video explaining the beat of the background music:
