When you talk about the vortex, I assume you're referring to Abraham Hicks' teachings. Contrast, according to Abe, is supposed to help you. The basic idea of her (his) teaching is roll with it. If it feels hard, you're resisting. Bob like a cork on water. If that's your way of thinking, let it roll off your back and know it's coming.
Easier said than done, right!?!? What helps me is listening to them on YouTube. Meditation is the ultimate resistance technique according to them. Lay back and let your mind go blank. When you entertain the negative thought, you wind up having negative feelings. Negative feelings are your guide. Step back, identify the feeling, and say "huh...". It will probably help, at least short-term. Continue to do it until the doubts fade. Don't doubt the process.
