Law of Attraction: Unfortunately, the term "Law of Attraction" has become over-popularized and distorted, such that many people erroneously believe that it is ONLY about attracting and manifesting "stuff". But, the Law of Attraction is SO MUCH more than that - it's a philosophy, a metaphysical principle, a belief system, a movement, and, a widely misunderstood term that is quite a bit more complicated than simply 'like attracts like'. At it's core, it is based on the underlying theory that ALL matter, ALL thought forms, and all physical and non-physical energies, people, events, things and ideas are ALL a part of ONE Source. Similar vibrations of that energy and similar frequencies of thought are attracted to one another, gathering themselves where peoples' ideas, attitudes and beliefs are receptively tuned to them (regardless of whether or not it is desired). The Law of Attraction says that LIFE is SUPPOSED to be FUN! ...And aligning oneself with the positively-oriented and loving vibration of Source Energy is the key to attracting the loving, joyful, feel-good life of your dreams. For a more in depth answer, see the "What Is Law of Attraction" page for more info... LoA: An acronym for the Law of Attraction - used often by people who do not wish to type out the "oh so long" phrase in full! Abe: A common nickname for Abraham and the Teachings of Abraham, the "Abe" lingo is also used to generally refer to the wisdom offered in the Abraham-Hicks Art of Allowing workshops. Art of Allowing: Both a term for the Law of Attraction workshops created and presented by Abraham-Hicks and the Teachings of Abraham, as well as the mastery of the ability to let life happen, to receive, and to allow one's experiences without trying to fight them or to change them. Contrast: Contrast is a word used in LoA lingo, especially in the Teachings of Abraham, to describe everything that we experience in life; everything that happens to us, around us, to others, and every bit of experiential information that comes into our awareness. Often, people will use the word contrast to describe only the bad things, or the challenges we experience, but, in Law of Attraction terms, nothing is either good or bad - it is just information, and it just IS. Everything that is experienced in life is a manifestation of what has been attracted thus far, as an indicator of where resistance may be present, and an opportunity to fine-tune one's thoughts on the subject. "Contrast" is intended to help us see the "obstacles" in our own thoughts, by seeing the shadows of what has manifested, since all good, all the time is both impossible (and not what life is for!) Downstream: A term often used in the Abraham-Hicks Art of Allowing workshops as a shorthand way of saying "to go with the flow", to make Peace with an idea, thought, or situation, or, to find some relief from negative thoughts on a given subject. To "go downstream" in a Law of Attraction way is to "let it be", to focus on the positive aspects of the situation, and to let life take you where it will on that subject - to deliberately change your thinking or beliefs such that you feel more optimistic, peaceful and content. Resistance: In the most basic sense, resistance is negative thinking, negative thoughts, and habits, attitudes, thoughts, feelings, expectations, and beliefs that are in opposition to, or "against", whatever is happening at the time. "Resistance" is the act of trying to control the uncontrollable and/or being angry at not being able to do so. Upstream: Refers to the state of having a preponderance of negative feelings and struggling with life. It is a metaphor for "paddling upstream", "going against the current", and not "going with the flow" while working way too hard at something (figuratively speaking.) In Abraham Hicks circles, when you are upset or angry you are said to be "going upstream". Vortex: To be in the Vortex, or to get into the Vortex describes the positively aligned state of being; akin to being "in the flow", "in the groove", or even, simply very happy, blissful, content or supremely peaceful. Being "in love with everything" is what it is to be "in the Vortex" - it is the vibration of Source Energy, and to be in alignment with it gives the feeling of being perfectly content with the state of your experience, as it is, in the moment. The vortex is also sometimes used as a synonym for one's "Vibrational Escrow" or "Vibrational Reality".

Vibrational Escrow, Vibrational Reality: Is the LoA lingo for an energetic version of an escrow "account", (like those used in major purchases, which have multiple steps that happen over time, and various aspects that come together separately before the overall "deal" can be completed.) All of one's "as yet to be manifested" desires are said to be located "IN" Vibrational Reality, Vibrational Escrow (sometimes abbreviated V.E.), or in the vortex. ...It is the temporary, energetic "holding zone" where thoughts and desires are collecting and gathering steam, until such time that one is in alignment with them, at which time they become manifest. If something is "in V.E.", it means that the newly identified and clarified desires have ALREADY BEEN created mentally and energetically, and are in the PROCESS OF being attracted and manifested now (though not yet visible in physical world reality). Well-Being: In Law of Attraction lingo, well-being is at the Source of ALL that is - it is peace, contentment, ease, joy, love, health, and vitality - and it what life is supposed to feel like! At the core of each individual is absolute and perfect well-being; it is the essence of who each one of us REALLY IS at the Soul level. To the degree that the life we are living doesn't feel like perfect well-being most of the time, that is the degree of resistant and negative thoughts which are being habitually and chronically harbored (usually completely unknowingly!)
