Abraham-Hicks — 22 Processes

Process numbers, titles, emotional ranges, Use when, What to do steps, and Watch for notes from the 22 Processes Practical Field Guide. Instructions are concise paraphrases. Ranges indicate recommended usefulness, not rigid eligibility rules.

Process #1 — The Rampage of Appreciation

Range: 1–5

Use when: Already feeling good; you want to amplify appreciation.

What to do:
1. Look around for something that easily pleases you.
2. Focus on why it is beautiful, useful, enjoyable, or satisfying.
3. Notice the good feeling and let related appreciative thoughts come.
4. Move to another pleasing subject once the feeling builds; continue while it feels good.

Watch for: Do not force appreciation of a troubling subject. If it feels irritating, use another process.

Process #2 — The Magical Creation Box

Range: 1–5

Use when: Feeling playful about possibilities and things you want.

What to do:
1. Choose a pleasing box and write on its lid: 'Whatever is contained in this box—IS!'
2. Collect pictures from magazines/catalogs, or write descriptions of wanted experiences.
3. Drop each item in while enjoying the idea of it, repeating the phrase if you like.
4. Continue adding whenever something appeals to you.

Watch for: No need to review on a schedule or make every desire fit together.

Process #3 — The Creative Workshop

Range: 1–5

Use when: Want to clarify desires in major life areas.

What to do:
1. Take four sheets titled My Body, My Home, My Relationships, and My Work.
2. On each, list desires that come easily to mind; don't force a long list.
3. For each desire, write why you want it.
4. Spend time savoring the desired picture of life, then go about your day noticing more things you like.

Watch for: Writing is recommended; imagining can also work.

Process #4 — Virtual Reality

Range: 1–8

Use when: Want a pleasant imaginary experience without resistance.

What to do:
1. Choose a setting that feels good: location, time, weather, surroundings.
2. Imagine yourself there, including pleasing people if you wish.
3. Add sensory details and interactions only while they improve the feeling.
4. Enjoy the scene for the feeling itself, not as a demand for an exact event.

Watch for: Choose scenes with little or no contradictory thought.

Process #5 — The Prosperity Game

Range: 1–16

Use when: Want to practice financial abundance and enjoyable spending.

What to do:
1. Set up an imaginary checking account in a notebook or ledger.
2. Day 1: deposit $1,000 and imaginatively spend it, recording purchases.
3. Day 2: deposit $2,000; Day 3: $3,000; keep increasing the daily deposit by $1,000.
4. Write checks or entries and enjoy choosing how to use the imaginary money.

Watch for: The account is imaginary; don't confuse this with real budgeting or spending.

Process #6 — The Process of Meditation

Range: 1–22

Use when: Want to quiet thought and release resistance.

What to do:
1. Sit or recline comfortably where you will not be interrupted.
2. Close your eyes and breathe comfortably and deliberately.
3. When thoughts arise, let them go without following them; return attention to breathing.
4. Practice for about 10–15 minutes, rather than trying to force a special experience.

Watch for: The aim is easing thought, not analyzing or solving a problem.

Process #7 — Evaluating Dreams

Range: 1–22

Use when: Curious about the emotional tone of dreams.

What to do:
1. Before sleeping, intend to rest well and remember anything useful.
2. On waking, stay still briefly and recall the dream before getting up.
3. Notice especially how the dream felt; write down key impressions if useful.
4. If unpleasant, identify the preference it clarifies and redirect attention toward what is wanted.

Watch for: The book interprets dreams through its vibrational framework; don't treat dreams as reliable predictions.

Process #8 — The Book of Positive Aspects

Range: 1–10

Use when: Want to appreciate a person, place, or recurring subject.

What to do:
1. Choose a notebook you enjoy using; label it Book of Positive Aspects.
2. Give a page to a subject, such as a person, place, job, or situation.
3. Write every genuinely pleasing aspect you can identify.
4. Stay with the subject while the list feels increasingly good; add pages for other subjects.

Watch for: The book suggests a longer first session (about 20 minutes), then shorter sessions as desired.

Process #9 — Scripting

Range: 2–6

Use when: Feeling good and eager to specify wanted experiences.

What to do:
1. Write yourself as the central character of a desired scene.
2. Identify other people, setting, and how events unfold.
3. Describe the experience as you would love to live it, with pleasing details.
4. Read or revisit only when it helps you feel the experience as real and enjoyable.

Watch for: You need not rewrite the script over and over.

Process #10 — The Place Mat Process

Range: 2–11

Use when: A to-do list feels burdensome or overfull.

What to do:
1. Draw a line down a page, making two columns.
2. Label the left side things you genuinely intend to do; label the right side things for the Universe.
3. Put only your chosen immediate actions on the left.
4. Put the rest on the right and release the sense that you must personally follow up on everything.

Watch for: The right column is a delegation exercise, not a substitute for handling essential real-world obligations.

Process #11 — Segment Intending

Range: 4–11

Use when: Entering a new activity; want to pre-pave the experience.

What to do:
1. Notice the start of a new segment: waking, driving, meeting, eating, working.
2. Before entering, pause and identify what you want from this segment.
3. Choose the feeling and qualities of experience you prefer; imagine them briefly.
4. Enter the activity without trying to micromanage its unfolding.

Watch for: If the subject already feels strongly bad, use a relief-oriented process first.

Process #12 — Wouldn't It Be Nice If...?

Range: 4–16

Use when: Want to soften doubt and open possibility.

What to do:
1. Notice a desire that feels a little pressured or uncertain.
2. Phrase it gently: 'Wouldn't it be nice if ...?'
3. Explore pleasant possible outcomes without requiring yourself to believe them.
4. Continue only while the possibilities feel lighter and more inviting.

Watch for: The playful question is meant to soften resistance, not become a disguised demand.

Process #13 — Which Thought Feels Better?

Range: 4–17

Use when: Experiencing negative emotion and want incremental relief.

What to do:
1. Write or state how you currently feel about a specific subject.
2. Try another statement about the same subject.
3. Compare how each thought feels, rather than judging which sounds more positive.
4. Keep choosing believable statements that offer even slight relief.

Watch for: A small improvement is enough; don't leap to thoughts you don't believe.

Process #14 — The Process of Clearing Clutter for Clarity

Range: 4–17

Use when: Clutter, unfinished sorting, or disorganization feels heavy.

What to do:
1. Prepare numbered lidded boxes (the book suggests about 20), a recorder, and index cards.
2. Pick up each item and ask if it matters to your immediate experience.
3. If not, box it without a lengthy keep/discard debate.
4. Record its location and make a searchable index; enjoy the clearer room.

Watch for: This is primarily rapid removal and indexing, not an immediate purge.

Process #15 — The Wallet Process

Range: 6–16

Use when: Want to feel purchasing power and availability of money.

What to do:
1. Put a $100 bill in your wallet (the original book amount).
2. As you go through the day, notice things you could buy with that money.
3. Mentally spend the same $100 on many different items without actually spending it.
4. Enjoy the sense of choice and availability each time.

Watch for: Your chosen $400 adaptation is optional; the original process specifies $100.

Process #16 — Pivoting

Range: 8–17

Use when: You catch yourself focusing on what you don't want.

What to do:
1. Notice the negative feeling and identify the unwanted focus.
2. Ask: 'I know what I don't want; what do I want?'
3. State the wanted alternative simply.
4. Return attention to the wanted side as often as it feels accessible.

Watch for: If the unwanted subject has strong momentum, choose a more gradual relief process.

Process #17 — The Focus Wheel Process

Range: 8–17

Use when: A specific subject feels resistant; want believable momentum.

What to do:
1. Draw a large circle and a smaller circle at its center.
2. Identify the unwanted feeling and write the desired feeling/statement in the center.
3. Around the outer circle, write statements that are believable and feel a little better.
4. Continue finding statements that fit until the desired thought feels more accessible.

Watch for: Don't force an implausible affirmation onto the wheel.

Process #18 — Finding the Feeling-Place

Range: 9–17

Use when: Current conditions dominate your attention more than your desire.

What to do:
1. Identify the essence of the desired situation and how it would feel.
2. Recall or imagine a scene that evokes that feeling, even if unrelated to the exact goal.
3. Add details that help the desired feeling become familiar.
4. Stay with the improved feeling rather than arguing with current conditions.

Watch for: A pleasing memory can be easier than forcing a vivid future picture.

Process #19 — Releasing Resistance to Become Free of Debt

Range: 10–22

Use when: Debt and obligations trigger frustration, fear, or discouragement.

What to do:
1. Use a columnar pad; make one column per monthly obligation, largest first.
2. For each, record the monthly payment and total outstanding debt; circle the required payment.
3. Each month, record payments and update balances, noticing the improvement.
4. If extra money is available after obligations, direct it deliberately toward a debt while appreciating progress.

Watch for: The book's process is a debt-oriented ledger; use realistic payment decisions and don't ignore financial obligations.

Process #20 — Turning It Over to the Manager

Range: 10–17

Use when: Feel you must orchestrate everything yourself.

What to do:
1. Imagine a highly capable Universal Manager coordinating details.
2. Name what you want, without trying to solve every logistical step.
3. Mentally delegate the orchestration and expect useful next steps to become apparent.
4. When you catch yourself taking back the entire burden, hand the 'how' back.

Watch for: This is a metaphorical allowing practice; still take needed real-world action.

Process #21 — Reclaiming One's Natural State of Health

Range: 10–22

Use when: Physical discomfort or health worry dominates your attention.

What to do:
1. Lie down somewhere comfortable, with enough time to relax.
2. Bring attention to soothing thoughts of ease, rest, and well-being.
3. Reach for believable thoughts that reduce struggle with the body's current condition.
4. Remain in the better-feeling place while it is soothing.

Watch for: This describes the book's spiritual exercise, not medical treatment. Continue appropriate healthcare.

Process #22 — Moving Up the Emotional Scale

Range: 17–22

Use when: Strong negative emotion makes positive thoughts inaccessible.

What to do:
1. Identify the emotion you are feeling using the 22-level scale.
2. Talk or write about the subject and try statements that feel slightly relieving.
3. Let the next accessible emotion be the target, even if it is still negative.
4. Continue incrementally; don't demand an immediate jump to joy.

Watch for: The scale describes relative relief, not a requirement to act on anger, blame, or other
