What is your 'base' feeling currently?
According to Abraham Hicks our inner being guides us through our emotions. As you move up the emotional scale (below) you will open passageways to well being that reach far beyond. We have an emotional set point that defines our highest emotional awareness. Working near our set point we can only raise up our emotions one level at a time.
The Abraham-Hicks emotional guidance system:
- Joy/Empowerment/Freedom/Love/Appreciation
- Passion
- Enthusiasm/Eagerness/Happiness
- Positive Expectation/Believe
