I've now read three of the books and haven't seen it explained. I feel like I'm missing out on something by not knowing what a grid is. Can anybody help?

It's just another metaphor for your point of attraction. The emotional framework you set, the frequency you practice, that lets your stuff in from your vortex that's in vibrational form (from the rockets of desire, etc.). Gets you to a frequency that allows you to "real-ize" your vibrational creations (or, in a quantum physics sense, see what's always been there, but you weren't in a vibe place to really see it). Really nothing more than that. "Setting a grid" is finding feeling words and practicing feeling places to set that point of attraction. Imagine it like the framework of a house before the walls, roof, fixtures, furnishings show up (the vortex stuff, that fits into the grid/framework you create vibrationally with your deliberate thought choices).

Just like the "vortex" used to be called the "vibrational escrow" and "vibrational reality". Just a metaphor...and, as it turns out, one they're already shifting away from, cuz it hasn't been a very vibrationally well-received one. You're not by any means the first to ask. The disks, the grids, the PoAs.... they're all about how you're practicing feeling, how your vibrating, and how much resistance you do or don't have in that vibration, and molding it deliberately to something else through choosing different thoughts.

Don't worry. You haven't missed anything. The "grid" is a new (and evolving) term that hasn't appeared yet in any of the books yet.

It's an expansion of the idea of your "point of attraction" (PoA) which was first mentioned in *AAIIG*. In that book, it's explained that we have a vibrational mix, offering a variety of vibrations on the many topics of our focus at any moment in time. And, because of momentum and our habits of focus, that mixed bag of vibrations is typically set in a "usual" area of the Scale, which Abraham used to call our "PoA" and then our "grid" and lately our "vibrational climate" or "atmosphere."

So Abraham started talking about our PoA like the framework of a house. They wanted to start talking to us about how vibrations became things, so this idea of house-building seemed to help them illustrate that principle. Think of this vibration being this strut and that vibration being that strut and that one being that beam, etc. Now that framework isn't really a "thing" and it might be barely recognisable as a house. But, if we practise those vibrations long enough, those vibrations will start (thanks to LoA) bringing to you "things" (thoughts, things, people experiences, etc.) which match them. So, to continue with the house-building metaphor, as you add in more supports and soon plumbing and electrical and staircases and sheetrock, etc., your framework starts to become more and more like a house. Your vibrational gird "fills in" to become a "thing."

As I've said, Abraham are moving away from the term, "gird," because it felt too rigid to them. Now they are talking about establishing our "vibratonal atmosphere" or our "vibrational climate," but it's the same principle where you practise a PoA and then LoA will bring to you things which will match it and will "fill in" the grid of your life.

OK, that's the explanation; *"How can I work with it, WB?"* Good question.

Although we have a habitual PoA--a vibrational climate that we've practised ("She's a 'happy' girl" or "He's a 'Debbie Downer'," right?)--each morning when we wake up\*, we have 17 seconds to start a different momentum. Our sleep has pushed "the Reset button" and all of yesterday's momentum has stopped. So you can choose your mood for the day. I like to think of it like selecting what I'm going to wear for the day. "What mood do I want to be?" Since you're barely conscious at that point in time, think of things that are easy for you to feel good about in general, non-specific terms. For me, it's puppies or the beach or babies. Nothing that's on your list of Things You Want, because that will probably re-activate your old momentum when you want to start a new momentum. That's it. Just select a feeling and **feel** the feeling. Do you want to "wear" Eager to-day? Or Joy? Or Enthusiasm? Find your selected feeling and **feel** it purely (no "But I can't feel Joy, I have to go to work", no "How am I going to get that?," etc.) for as little as 17 seconds (longer is better) and then go on with your day.

As you do this each morning, you might find at first (like Esther did) that you don't even make it 'til breakfast before you slip back into your old habits, but you will be able to "wear" your selected mood for more and more of each day until you make that your new PoA.

Hope that helps.

\*You can practise a new vibrational climate at any time of the day. It's just *easiest* (because your momentum has stopped) to do it first thing in the morning.

Grid work is my favorite process! It makes me feel as if I am a magician. My favorite video on it is Abraham hicks - new grid. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhsmg46zhAA dead link, not archived) That clip should give you the gist

**paradise-on-earth**

google Abraham Hicks- clip with the searchwords "Grid" or "Vibrational atmosphere".

Here is a thread with quotes about what Grids are.

Thank you all very much! I meant to reply earlier, but didn't get around to it. It is definitely more clear now.
