I recently received a wonderful question from a reader in response to my post on “How to Be Patient.” I thought it was worth answering in another article! Here is the question:
You wrote: “We need to create the energy of our desired outcome in our life in order to receive it.” I get that, of course we cannot receive what we want if we’re not a vibrational match for it first. But how do I do it?? Is it only a matter of inner mindset, or is it about visualizing, or doing actions that align with this state? How do I create the energy of my desired outcome concretely?
Actually, we can create the energy of our desired outcome using all of these things!
- Mental: We can shift our thoughts to align with our desired outcome. That doesn’t mean we have to visualize it over and over again – it is more helpful to think “as if” we were certain that the desired outcome were already our reality.
- Emotional: This is where visualization comes in handy. We can visualize the desired outcome, and then tune in to the emotional energy this generates. We thus put ourselves into the appropriate emotional vibrational state. According to Esther and Jerry Hicks, 68 seconds of holding this vibration is enough to get the energy moving towards manifestation.
- Physical: We can indeed take small actions that align with our desired outcome. Again, we can act “as if” or we can take actions that create the same emotional energetic qualities within us, right now. If our desired outcome holds the energetic vibration of expansion, for example, then we can act expansively in small ways, right now. Why not buy a brand-new vegetable at the grocery store? Why not take a different way home? Why not do something we’ve never tried before? Energetically, we are creating similar vibrations!
- Spiritual: We can ask our Guides and Higher Self to release and clear any negative or limiting patterns that would limit our ability to align with our desire outcome. Always ask them to transmute all negative energies to Divine Love before releasing them back to Source, and to replace these patterns with upgraded energy patterns that are a vibrational match for what you DO want.
When we use our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual resources to create our vibrational state, it is truly stunning what we can receive into our lives – right now.
Blessings,
Andrea

What a coincidence! I was just about to get back to my draft article about 68 seconds of pure thought when your new post came into my inbox and I decided to check it out first.
This is another great post from you! I was just wondering why some of my askings have not been manifesting and realised that I’ve not been aligning my energy to create the vibrational match. Your post here is the affirming response that I needed.
Since the vibrational adjustment has to be in one of those four we can fine tune by reviewing and raising the one that’s lacking. Funny how I keep forgetting to ask for help in clearing and releasing negativity. Gotta go do that now.
Thank you for this beautiful reminder about the power of our vibrations to attract good things into our lives.
Although I’ve read about 68 seconds before, I often forget about the simplicity and effectiveness of this process. For some reason, it made me think about the experiences I had when practicing a form of Buddhism that involved chanting while holding the image of a specific desire in mind… looking back, I now realize the chanting had a very uplifting effect on my mood, thus raising my vibration and causing the image I held to manifest in my life. And when I chanted in a type of desperate, clingy way, the object of my desires always remained just out of reach.
Thanks for helping me draw that connection–I’ve read nearly all the Abraham-Hicks books, and somehow never realized that before.
Per your email to me, I read this post, printed it out and had it waiting for me next to my bed last night.
My mood and mindset are much better today because of this blog post.
I will remember this 68 second rule for sure.
Thanks Andrea – you ROCK!
Like Tom, the one I leave out all too often is asking for help. I’ve decided to make that the FIRST one on the list. Just seems to me it’d make all the rest that much more effective…
Thank you so much Andrea. Awesome reply!
Andrea, I just wanted to thank you for the timeliness of your post. Of course, you may not have known the impact your post would have on those of us looking for such affirmation, but part of me suspects that you did
68 seconds can seem like a lifetime when one attempts to truly align oneself, but what a joyous expression that exists on the other side of that small piece of tme. Bless you. Peace — jb
Evelyn, great article on the 68 seconds!
Tom – you know, asking is the easiest one, and the one we most often forget! You’ll find, though, that when you create the appropriate vibrational state on all four levels, things really get rockin’ and rollin’!!!
Christa – Here’s to exterminating those mice, energetically!
Suzanne – So true – it’s amazing what happens when we just ASK.
Rose – Thank you for the question and inspiration!
Jeff – I’m so glad this was timely … we’re all connected, and it seems so often we’re all working on a common theme! I know 68 seconds of energetic focus can seem like a small eternity … it’s great practice to stay in as pure an energetic state as possible for that length of time. Not easy, but as you say, so rewarding!
Blessings,
Andrea
Andrea,
This is so true, I use it all the time, like I day-dream of the subject, the outcome, and use intuition and next thing mission accomplished.
I love your articles, they are so inspiring.
