Expanding
Our Belief System…with affirmations. Our
bodies are a product of our awareness, the composite of all we pay attention
to. Our beleifs, thoughts, emotions and where we place our attention,
create our experiences , even our healthy or unhealthy bodies. It is our
choices and what we agree to, that creates our reality. We can make choices
consciously for the change we wish to experience. This is what makes us
different from all other living creatures.
Most
of us are caught up in the 'wish' phase of existence. " I wish I had
more money", " I wish I were in a better relationship", "I wish I had
better health" and the list goes. We are the only ones who can transform
our wish list into manifested reality. So let's "Just do it".
First
we need to expand our belief system…..in other words reprogram our own
sub-conscious mind.To expand our belief system we need to be a like
pioneers. We are the pioneers of the new millennium! We are being given
the opportunity to explore with awareness, the territories of our physical
form, our emotional body, the wonderful and powerful tool of our minds
and our great spiritual heritage in ways that are refined compared to
our ancestors.
If the pioneers of the late 17th and 18th centuries
were camping in a wooded area and were about to cook their fresh kill,
what steps do you think they would take to get the final results? They
would have to gather the wood, and kindling for their fire, take more
time to rub two sticks together to actually start the fire and then
slowly grill their kill. Finally after about two to three hours they
sat down to their dinner. What if next to them was a strange white or
black box with a black cord which was connected to a nearby tree? On
this strange looking box were inscribed the words "Microwave Oven"!
Taking on the curiosity, enthusiasm, the Spirit of Boldness and the
focus of little children, is a great first step to being charge of our
lives and changing our present belief system. And only we can do this.
Curiosity relates to the energy of Green. It resonates with our Heart
Center. Any issues around boundaries, expanding our boundaries, emotional
maturity, security, mental expansiveness and freedom, all relate to
this center. Curiosity is perhaps the first step to recognizing that
the boundaries that once served us, are now only inhibiting us. We all
need to feel safe to explore what wonderful potential is out there waiting
for us to uncover. Green's energy will assist us to do this. Enthusiasm
and the Spirit of Boldness are both attributes of the color Orange and
the Spleenic Energy Center. Having these attributes is essential but
not enough if we are to effectively and safely change our belief system.
What
would have happened if the pioneers used their Spirit of Boldness and
it led them to actually push the 'start' button on the microwave with
their hand inside the unit? Acknowledging that we are partners with
our sub-conscious mind and are ultimately responsible for all of the
'data' it receives and how it is programmed is an absolute necessity
if we are to realize our goals and dreams as we dream them. Our sub-conscious
mind is a great and powerful tool. It's only job (and it does it absolutely
perfectly) is to carry out the suggestions that have impacted it. We
are the animating principle of our sub-conscious mind and only we allow
or disallow the information that is carried out by our wonderful efficient
partner.
Just
as with the most powerful computer systems that have been devised, they
are only as good as the person behind the mouse and the software programs
that have been installed. 'Garbage in - garbage out' or put 'Positive
in positive out'.What suggestions are we allowing to impact our sub-conscious
minds? Are we being conscious and aware and taking responsibility for
all of our experiences or are we in denial of what is our natural heritage
and birthright?
Abundance
on every single level is our true inheritance. And this means physically,
emotionally, mentally and spiritually! We can experience this in the
here and now…. right now. Perhaps we need to take a closer look at our
present belief system if we feel we have to wait for abundance or that
we are not worthy to receive it….and there is never a reason good enough
for not being or feeling worthy! More about suggestions…….Suggestions
can be in the form of visual input, words that we read and hear, even
on a subliminal level. Feelings that we pick up from places and others.
I
grew up in a family where feelings were not expressed verbally, but
could be felt, such as sadness or anger. It was a challenge for me to
discern what my real feelings were and what I was picking up from the
other members of my family. Haven't we all found our selves in places
or surroundings where there was a definite feeling presented. At these
times our subconscious minds are being very good partners and carry
out the signals or suggestions that are presented to it. If it picks
up sadness, and we are not being very aware partners, we may then become
the effect of these sad vibrations put out by a total stranger.
We
are subjected to suggestions each and every moment. So what can we do
about this?Since we are the ones in the drivers' seat we can decide
how we want our sub-conscious mind to be programmed. In other words
we can be selective as to what suggestions we want it to carry out…just
like choosing which software programs to use on our computers.
Self-suggestion
is the act of consciously introducing an attribute, thought or value
to our sub-conscious mind. If repeated to ourselves over a period of
time we will find ourselves eventually acting out these suggestions.
Affirmations are self-suggestions that have been refined to get the
results that we want to experience. They are most effective when they
are said or written in the present tense. And they are even more effective
by an innovative technique I will introduce shortly...Color Affirmations!
Doing
Color Affirmations as I have outlined in "Writing Your own Color Affirmations
for Success" is the fasted and surest way to get the results that you
want. You can start now by clicking on this link. GO
The sub-conscious mind operates only in the present and ignores
words like 'never or not'.. for example: "I am not sad", our sub-conscious
would interpret as "I am sad". It would be better phrased as such: "I
am happy". Or I "never gain weight", could be best phrased as "I am
at the perfect weight for my body". Auto-suggestion…..
Eventually
our sub-conscious mind will accept the ideas and thoughts that have
been presented to it. When this happens, our sub-conscious mind will
automatically flash the thought or information to our awareness when
we need it. Let's explore how to empower our affirmations with Color?
It is an accepted fact in our generation of awareness that affirmations
work. And they really do work. They are working when the auto suggestion
phase kicks in.
Affirmations are wonderful tools we can use in being conscious partners
with our sub-conscious mind. Just like in preparing our meals, we can
choose to do them the old fashioned way or we can use a microwave. Using
color to empower our affirmations gets results some what like the speed
of a microwave as compared to the old 'campfire' method. Any and all
positive attributes relate to a specific color energy. For instance,
you can choose the goal that you want to be strong (red), have your
life in order and balanced (green), have more abundance in your life
(magenta/pink)…..The list goes on. A list of color attributes that relate
to specific colors is featured on the next few pages. From this list
you can create your goals and affirmations.
First…….Let's
take time to do some self inventory. What are our dreams and goals?
What is it about our present state that we would like to change or be
different? Keep in mind that everyone has dreams. Honoring our dreams
will give us the experience we need to be fulfilled as individuals.
How sad indeed if when on our death bed we decided that there was just
one thing that we really wanted to experience or to accomplish, but
"we could never do that" always got in the way. It is alright to ask
yourself now if there is one thing you would want or do if today was
the last day of your life. What is it? Would your life be totally fulfilled
if you_____________________ or if you______________________ Now without
hesitation or too much thinking make a list of goals and dreams that
you have. And please do not judge yourself. Keep it simple. One or two
words for each goal is sufficient. For example: Abundance, Better relationships,
Creativity etc. you will learn how to put your goals into empowering
sentences later. If you have so many goals that you probably will need
more space, prioritize and write just the most important ones down.
Use only the space provided.
Come back to this list if nothing presents itself. Perhaps if this happens
you could start with the goal of clarity! Or refer to the attributes
presented on the following pages and check the ones you aspire to be
more like.Your list of dreams and goals: Click Here
