Stop beating yourself up!

May 28
2010

One of the worst energy busters I see is people’s negative self talk. The questioning, doubting and then berating if and when something doesn’t go as planned.  Sometimes it gets so bad, the person gets frozen in their ability to make decisions. Who wants to make a decision if you are just going to get beat up for it later?

The negative self talk is present in every one I have ever read for. The energetic blocks get bigger depending on how often you do it and what else you are telling yourself.  So it is always good to be aware of how often you do it and then make a note to shift the energy into a different way of thinking. For example, let say every time you try on clothes to buy you say to yourself “I am so fat!” Trying on clothes becomes a torturous process and no longer an enjoyable thing. Then the clothes you are currently in possession of become negative too, until you are just feeling completely miserable every time you get dressed or look in the mirror.  How awful! No lets say the next time you make a pact with yourself to go buy clothes without talking to yourself that way. You catch yourself saying to yourself “I am so fat.” Then you notice, shift the statement and restate to yourself “I would really like to work on this part of my body so I can love it more.” You don’t have to lie and say “I love my body” just restate things.

Insightful Inspiration of the week

Check in with your mental chatter. The conversations you have with yourself about situations. This can be about anything. For example past choices, what you said to someone, how you are doing something.  Are you are sending discouraging demeaning thoughts to yourself?  Take note that this statement is backfiring in your life somewhere. It is creating an energy pattern of this negativity that is going to show up again and again, until you shift this pattern. You are attracting things in your life to support that negative thinking. Send yourself loving supportive thoughts so that the energy you bring back to yourself represents this feeling. Love yourself first.

Chakra Communication – First and Third

waterdamage The picture is of a cave that has slowly had part of it eroded away by water. This is a great way to think of your energy blocks. As you notice, question and explore, your energy becomes more open. Free if you will. But not all at once, and not everywhere. It is first, as with water, in the easy routes, then as you demand more room, you start to dig deeper. Eventually your energy with be as vast as the Grand Canyon. 

Again, if you aren’t familiar with chakras, read my first explanations of first and third chakras in the past blogs, or check out some info on the web.  

This blog is about the communication between your survival space and grounding (first chakra) and your manifesting (third chakra).  It is about the ability to manifest in life and have power over your ability to survive or be safe. It is trusting that you will always have what ever you NEED. Always have, always will do that for yourself. You can’t help it. It is whether you know it or not that is the question. Because once you know it, you can manifest what you WANT too. 

One thing I read on people here is parents “protective” words embedded deeply in the pathways. As we grow up, our parents try and keep us safe, often times telling us to leave it up to them rather than trust ourselves. This takes our power away and we begin to doubt our own abilities to keep ourselves safe. This is done out of love of course, but a lot of times we end up with issues in trusting ourselves to keep ourselves safe. We start to seek our external validation for our choices. Asking questions like, should I date this person, buy this house, take the job, etc. Why we think the person external from ourselves knows better than we do… it the key to understanding how your energy flows here. 

Insightful Inspiration for the week

Start to notice how much you trust yourself to keep yourself safe. This could be in regards to anything but the biggie is money. Do you trust yourself to manifest the money you need, always and forever? If not, why not? If so… good for you!  

Do you trust yourself to walk down a dark alley alone? This may sound like a silly one, but if you really trusted yourself, you would be able to tune in, find out if this was a safe choice, make it with confidence and proceed without fear. If you doubt your ability to know if there is a bad guy waiting to steal your wallet… then notice why. Where does this thought process come from and does it make sense?  If it does… then hang on to it, but if you notice it isn’t your idea of the world, just programming, then let it go. 

This week, notice where you trust yourself to manifest safety and security and where you don’t. This can take many forms, so be open to the manifesting what you need link and see what comes up. As always, I encourage you to comment or visit my Facebook fan page and start a discussion.

Journey through YOUR energy System: Part 3 – Solar Plexus Chakra

Dec 01
2008

Inspiration for this week – own your power in a balanced way. We are focusing on the Solar Plexus charka. This chakra helps keep your energy systems organized and manifesting. Concentration and your ability to learn new things also comes, in large part from this energy system. Information can get blocked up here, as in any chakra, for early negative experiences. Especially around authority or learning.

Most people tend to be very hard on themselves. Much harder than they would be on anyone else. If you know someone who is hard on you…think how hard they are being on themselves.

Where are are you hard on yourself? What do you say to yourself when you make a mistake? Do you own the power in the lesson or beat yourself up for not avoiding the lesson altogether? Project this onto a child (maybe even your child) would you want this child to hear the words you tell yourself if they had  made the same mistake? What would you tell that child instead? Where ever you are shaming yourself, you are hitting a block in your solar plexus chakra. Spend sometime to notice and see if you can change that energy from shame to love and acceptance.

Another thing to notice about this area is what you are expecting to manifest in your life. Do you expect to be successful? Why not? You do DERSERVE it. The concept of working hard is a good one, but who determines what is “hard enough”? You do. So decide the level of effort you can and want to give to your success and then expect that that is enough to bring what you want into life. If you have trouble with an expectation, start smaller first. Figure out what you do expect, can you increase the positive expectation a little more? Why or why not? Your thoughts are very powerful, even the ones you don’t want to admit to having.

There is a lot of work that can be done in all of these chakras. But I am just trying to get you to notice these energy centers more regularly and listen to them. They are your source of infinate wisdom and prosperity if you so choose to access them.

This week claim responsibility for your life and claim your personal power.
