You Are That You Are Seeking
Nov 24th
Many of us spend our lives seeking some thing, wealth, happiness, spiritual connection, good relationships and much more. But what if you began to understand that the reason you are seeking is because you already are that or have it. I know depending on the level of growth you are, this may sound insane. But yes we all have special untapped powers we have sidelined. If you read the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill he wrote about the powers we have once we select a particular thought path and follow through with intended action. Remember what you see around you is what your thoughts have been working upon. Remember we see things not as they are but how we are.
In the book The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Little, he keeps emphasises in each chapter how there is a thinking stuff (the universe) through which all things are made. A thought that is put in that thinking stuff with a certain energy and action will manifest. I have listened to this book so many times and I keep being blown away by the concept that we have it all. The potential to be yourself and stop seeking in recognition that you have it all will aid your power.
Once I came to understand that I am that I am seeking, I realised that the outside influences did not do me any good. The news is generally very depressing and they are trying to control the masses by scaring us into believing it is all negative. Once you refuse to belief what they say/print and decide to control your own destiny, you are on the way. Just think for a moment, have you heard of a news paper owner who is poor? No they are all rich; they make you belief the opposite of their lives. The trouble is good news will not sell as we are all programmed to seek negative input.
Most people who know how to tap into their own power have still minds. To have still minds, we have to use some spiritual practices like prayer, meditation, yoga and many more.
EFT Tapping: My Family Doesn’t Approve of Me
Oct 31st
One of the more common limiting beliefs people hold is that, “My family doesn’t approve of me.”
You may be aware that you believe your family doesn’t approve of you, or you may carry the belief around just under the surface of your consciousness, not really aware that you hold the belief.
Where do you get that belief?
It can be picked up when you’re an infant, before you have the ability to put thoughts into words. As a baby, youinterpretedthe facial expression, tone of voice and emotions of those around you.
Even in the womb, if your mother didn’t want to be pregnant or to have a baby, you could have picked up that belief.
As an infant, when those around you felt upset or angry, you felt their emotions. When the look on someone’s face was disaproving, you felt that disapproval.
Later, after you learned words, you interpreted their anger, disaproval or scolding as, “I’m bad. I’m not a good kid. There’s something wrong with me. I’m not ok.”
For many of us, we were told explicitly that we weren’t approved of.
What disapproving things were you told as a child?
As an adult, we might think, “My family doesn’t approve of me. I’m inadequate. I’m defective.”
Beliefs are simply thoughts that are repeated over and over and held to be true.
You can think of a belief as an obsessive thought. Or an unquestioned thought. We don’t generally question our beliefs; we just assume them to be true.
We often aren’t even aware of our beliefs, as they are so familiar to us. It’s difficult to question something you aren’t even aware of!
Are beliefs true?
A belief is no more true than another thought. In actuality thoughts and beliefs are neither true nor false. They simply are.
But beliefs have great power. Our beliefs have power because we don’t question them. We live our lives based on them. They influence our health, happiness and abundance in all areas of our lives.
Most of your beliefs are limiting. Do you have beliefs about how wealthy you can become?
How about how long you’ll live?
How about your limits because of your gender, your age, your race, your nationality, your education, your intelligence?
Your beliefs keep you from trying new things, from living as you dream, from making the income you’d love to make, from succeeding in areas you only dare to try.
Changing Beliefs Changing your beliefs can be challenging.
First you must discover just what your beliefs are.
Two ways to discover your beliefs are by observing your judgments and by noticing your disturbing emotions.
Under those will be limiting beliefs.
Then you can use the process of EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques) to release limiting beliefs and instill new, more empowering beliefs.
